Chapter 614:

Yoo-hyun didn’t just eat a lot of different kinds of kimbap.

He often stopped by the construction site to check the progress, and talked with the food service consultant that Park Young-hoon had invited.

“I wish the president would focus only on making kimbap...”

“To do that, he needs to find a reliable source of side dishes...”

The main topic was efficient management.

Yoo-hyun didn’t want his grandmother to work herself to death out of responsibility.

The consultant also said that it was not a good direction for sustainable management.

He didn’t just say it, but also prepared some alternatives.

One of them was something that Yoo-hyun could definitely help with.

It was the last night of 2011.

Seeing Yoo-hyun who came down to his hometown, his mother asked with a worried look.

“Is it the kimbap place that your precious younger brother runs? I hope you’re not causing him trouble.”

“Mom, why would using your side dishes be trouble?”

“Aren’t there a lot of side dish shops around there? They can just get them from there if they need them, why do they have to get them by delivery?”

His mother was secretly worried that Yoo-hyun was being considerate.

If it was before, Yoo-hyun would have done that, but not now.

He knew very well that his mother’s side dish shop was doing well, so there was no reason to force it.

Yoo-hyun gave his honest opinion.

“It’s not me, it’s the president and the consultant who compared and tasted them. They said your jinmichae and odengbokkeum are amazing.”

“Well, I’m glad then...”

Seeing his mother hesitating, Han Jae-hee, who was next to him, said impatiently.

“Mom, just do it. It’s a good thing to sign a formal contract, why are you so worried?”

“I’ve never done this before.”

“Don’t worry, oppa did all the thinking. Mom, just stamp it. It’s a place that needs your help for sure.”

At Han Jae-hee’s words, his mother’s eyes widened.

“Why? Because of that Do-ha kid?”

“Yeah. I owe him a lot.”

“What do you owe him? Did you get into debt?”

“Are you kidding me? Am I crazy?”

“Then what? He’s still a student, right? What do you have to owe him?”

Han Jae-hee was able to organize his design portfolio at once with the help of Nadoha.

Thanks to that, his dark company life brightened up, but it was awkward to tell the truth.

“Why are you so nosy? It’s nothing.”

As Han Jae-hee dodged the question, his mother became more persistent.

“It’s strange when I think about it. It’s not like you to design a sign for someone else’s shop.”

“What are you talking about? That’s because oppa...”

“Stop it and tell me. Is it something like a crush?”

“Are you out of your mind? He’s much younger than me.”

“Then what?”

“Ugh, I’m frustrated. Oppa, you tell her.”

Han Jae-hee pounded his chest and asked for help, but Yoo-hyun was in a situation where he couldn’t help.

Ring. Ring.

Yoo-hyun picked up his phone and got up from his seat.

“Wait. I have an important call.”

“Oppa!”

Ignoring the scream from behind, Yoo-hyun answered the phone.

Jeong Da-hye’s voice came from the other side of the receiver.

-Yoo-hyun, I just called to see how you’re doing.

It was the peak of the morning work time in Texas.

It was not like her to just call.

Yoo-hyun pretended not to know and talked with Jeong Da-hye.

“I see. I was about to call you too.”

-Why?

“Just, wondering how you’re doing.”

It was strange.

He laughed at the silly words they exchanged.

“No way! Why would I like someone younger than me?”

“Why are you acting so weird then?”

He didn’t care about the noise coming from the floor.

He just listened to her voice.

“It’s not just from the development team. There were quite a few applications from the planning teams of other business units.”

“Really? Are there any good people?”

At Yoo-hyun’s question, Kim Young-gil recited the contents he had seen.

He seemed to have already finished the preliminary screening.

“There are. They all made proposals with sincerity. Some of them even had a well-organized plan for the future.”

“That wasn’t part of the application requirements.”

“Of course, I’m not going to reflect that in the final decision. But it’s impressive, isn’t it?”

“I’m curious.”

“You know him.”

“Who is it?”

“Kim Ho-sung, the guy who used to be in the next part.”

As soon as he heard the name, Yoo-hyun’s mouth opened.

“Oh.”

“Why? Don’t you remember?”

“No. I can’t believe it.”

How could he not remember?

He didn’t tell Kim Young-gil, but Yoo-hyun had secretly hoped that Kim Ho-sung would come.

He knew that he was someone who could do better than anyone else if given the opportunity.

Kim Young-gil, who had no idea of Yoo-hyun’s inner thoughts, gave his personal judgment.

“His idea was good, and the other plans he gave as samples were good too.”

“That’s good.”

“Yeah. I have to be nervous too, or I’ll be a huge nuisance.”

“A nuisance? You shouldn’t be so low on confidence as the leader.”

At Yoo-hyun’s words, Kim Young-gil’s face darkened.

“Leader. I’m worried about that too.”

“Why?”

“It’s time to open it. I don’t know how to bring it up.”

He had hinted to Choi Min-hee, the team leader, but not to Kim Hyun-min, the senior manager.

He also had to report properly to Hong Il-seop, the executive, and Lim Jun-pyo, the president.

“I was going to sort that out for you.”

Yoo-hyun said that.

Ring. Ring.

Kim Young-gil and Yoo-hyun’s phones rang at a short interval.

The first one to check the message was Kim Young-gil, who looked embarrassed.

“Oh, the manager already knows. He’s telling me to come with you right away.”

It was Kim Hyun-min, the senior manager.

He called Yoo-hyun too, so he must have known the background somehow.

He had to explain, but Yoo-hyun couldn’t nod.

“I can’t go right now. Someone higher up called me.”

Yoo-hyun’s phone had Lim Jun-pyo, the president’s name on it.

Yoo-hyun had a one-on-one with Lim Jun-pyo six months ago.

At that time, Yoo-hyun, who had decided to move to Hansung Display, told him his plans for the future.

That was the beginning of the semiconductor display.

And now.

Yoo-hyun went to the president’s office to tell him the opposite.

The memories of being with him flashed through his mind.

From attracting the Apple factory to when he was the LCD business manager, they had a lot of connections.

Then he remembered what Oh Ju-hwan, the executive in charge of management innovation, said at a drinking party a while ago.

-The president wants to nurture you. He wants to give you management lessons early.

Yoo-hyun knew that Lim Jun-pyo thought of him as special.

Even if Yoo-hyun was capable, giving him the TF director position and supporting him from behind was not an easy thing for the person in charge of the organization.

So Yoo-hyun felt sorry.

He must be disappointed, right?

Considering his fiery personality, there was a possibility that he was very angry.

He could take a step back here, but there was no reason to go back.

Rather, it was better to clear things up from the top, for the future as well.

Yoo-hyun prepared for a collision and entered the president’s office.

Creak.

“Come on in.”

As soon as he opened the door, Lim Jun-pyo greeted him with a smile.
