Chapter 553:

Lee Jun-il, the manager, rubbed his eyes and checked the title again. He let out a hollow laugh.

“What is this kid doing now?”

His expression, which was first dumbfounded, gradually hardened.

He sensed an ominous atmosphere.

At that moment, Yoo-hyun was checking the interview of Shin Kyung-wook, the vice president of Hansung Electronics, in his office on the 11th floor of Yeouido.

Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, was sitting next to him.

They belonged to different departments, but they didn’t need to care about anyone else since they were in a separate office.

Park Seung-woo, who was looking at the same part as Yoo-hyun, clicked his tongue.

“How much did he talk during the interview that the article came out as a three-part special?”

“They are pushing it more because it’s exclusive.”

“True. There were a lot of requests for the vice president’s interview before. He rejected them all... Oh? Thank you.”

Park Seung-woo, who was answering while recalling his old memories, took the coffee that Jang Jun-sik handed him.

Jang Jun-sik nodded slightly and turned around right away.

“Kid. You’re finally treating me like a senior.”

“Jun-sik must have been good from the beginning.”

“I have a lot to say, but I’ll hold it in. But is this okay?”

“Why?”

“The interview is so long, but there is only one part about Shinwa Semiconductor. Look at this.”

Park Seung-woo pointed to the part where the word ‘Shinwa Semiconductor’ appeared.

Q. You said that semiconductors are important. Then would you acquire Shinwa Semiconductor if you could?

A. Of course I would. Shinwa Semiconductor is a good company.

It was a very bland answer, but it didn’t matter.

Yoo-hyun pointed out one of the many reasons.

“They picked a good title, didn’t they?”

“Still, there is no content. It’s too weak to make waves.”

“Just wait a little longer. You’ll find out soon.”

Yoo-hyun glanced at the clock and gave a meaningful smile.

Then, Kwon Se-jung, the assistant, raised his hand.

“Yoo-hyun, there’s a post on the community.”

“What kind of post?”

“A post related to the article. Come and see.”

Yoo-hyun got up from his seat and approached Kwon Se-jung with Park Seung-woo.

On his monitor screen, there was a post with provocative content.

-Hansung Group is already waging a takeover battle for Shinwa Semiconductor. How far have they progressed?..

Park Seung-woo widened his eyes as he checked the content.

“What? What is this? It’s so verbose. There’s no substance, but it sounds very plausible.”

“It’s a novel written by combining the article by Manager Lee Jun-il and this one.”

“Why?”

“First, look at the comments. Se-jung, scroll down.”

As Kwon Se-jung moved the mouse, comments appeared on the screen.

-Shin Kyung-wook is a man who does what he says. He’s different from cowards like Choi Min-yong.

-He’s refreshing. You saw him when he spun off Hansung Display.

-This time, Hansung Display’s performance is the world’s best. It’s all thanks to Shin Kyung-wook.

-Are you kidding? What about smartphones?

-That’s because the others messed up. Anyway, Shin Kyung-wook always keeps his word.

-It would be awesome if Hansung acquired Shinwa Semiconductor.

Most of the comments praised Shin Kyung-wook, probably because his previous press conference was so memorable.

Among them, there were some comments that caught his eye.

-Then, should I buy Shinwa Semiconductor stocks?

-Shinwa Semiconductor is expected to rise three times in a row. I have to get in.

-There are already signs of a surge. I’m all in.

Park Seung-woo, who was looking at the content, was incredulous.

“Why are there so many stock talks?”

“Shinwa Semiconductor’s retail investors are known to be passionate.”

Shinwa Semiconductor had no owner, so a lot of stocks were released to the public.

The price per share was also low, making it easy for ordinary people to access.

There were also many forces that took advantage of this, and Shinwa Semiconductor’s stock was famous for its volatility.

Yoo-hyun put down his fist with embarrassment, and Jang Jun-sik followed suit.

Swoosh.

Park Seung-woo, who was holding out his fist alone, casually put his hand in his pocket as if nothing had happened.

“Hahaha! You look very good.”

Kwon Se-jung, who was watching them from the side, shook his shoulder.

Park Seung-woo shook off the awkward situation and sat at the table.

He looked at Yoo-hyun, who was facing him, and asked in a serious tone.

“It seems like we’ve created the situation we expected. Then we need to talk about the next step, right?”

“Yes. That’s why you came here. Let’s wrap it up quickly.”

Yoo-hyun also put down his playfulness and matched the changed atmosphere.

The two people who were determined to work together refined the list that appeared on the TV screen without hesitation.

“Next, we’re going to officially form a team for the acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor...”

“That’s what you should do. Then we’ll approach Shinwa Semiconductor...”

The contents that they had simulated several times were reorganized according to the current situation.

Since they had started, there were more specific things to do for the Innovation Strategy Office and the Future Technology TF.

Since Park Seung-woo was in charge, there were also many things that he could decide here.

The work that continued without a break ended with the sound of Park Seung-woo closing his laptop.

Thud.

He got up from his seat and packed his stuff.

“Okay. That’s it. I have to sort out the rest later.”

“Are you leaving? Why don’t you have a meal before you go?”

“No need. If I stay here, I have to buy you food.”

“You’re just saying that. You’re worried about the Innovation Strategy Office, right?”

“What are you talking about? They’ll do fine. Don’t worry about us, just worry about yourself.”

He fiddled with his phone while pretending not to care.

Beep. Beep.

Even now, his phone was constantly receiving messages.

He didn’t need to look at them to know the content. Yoo-hyun sneaked a peek.

“It seems like you’re getting a lot of tackles from the Innovation Strategy Office because of the acquisition news, right?”

“Nah, there’s nothing like that. Don’t worry about it, just worry about yourself.”

“Don’t I have anything to worry about? You’re doing everything for me.”

Yoo-hyun pointed to Kwon Se-jung and Jang Jun-sik, who were standing next to him, and Park Seung-woo pursed his lips.

“What does Jun-sik do well?”

“Don’t say that. You know he’s working hard.”

“I know. That’s why he’s overdoing it.”

He glanced at Jang Jun-sik, who was working hard even though he was pretending not to care.

“Jun-sik, don’t try to do everything by yourself. You don’t have to work hard, Yoo-hyun will do it for you.”

“I’m not doing that.”

“I don’t believe you. Yoo-hyun, check on him and make sure he doesn’t work too hard. Got it?”

Park Seung-woo asked Yoo-hyun again, worrying that Jang Jun-sik might overdo it.

He felt his affection for his junior, so Yoo-hyun smiled and answered.

“I’ll keep that in mind, mentor.”

“That’s good. Then I’ll go now. Take care.”

He winked one eye and waved his hand and disappeared.

Park Seung-woo’s figure appeared in the window a moment later.

He was running towards the road.

Kwon Se-jung muttered as he watched him.

“He seems to be in a hurry.”

“There’s a lot to do from now on. The situation inside the Innovation Strategy Office won’t be easy either.”

Yoo-hyun, who was looking at the same place, gave a specific reason, and Kwon Se-jung agreed.

“True, Manager Park won’t let it go easily.”

“He takes good care of people. He’s also passionate.”

“I know. He’s pretending not to care, but he’s very diligent.”

“That’s right.”

Jang Jun-sik nodded unknowingly at Kwon Se-jung’s words.

He was bickering with Park Seung-woo on the outside, but he was acknowledging him on the inside.
