It was a bear jelly that he had received before.
“I guess the young master gave it to you.”
“Yes, he did. And I also have something to say to you, manager.”
“What is it?”
“Didn’t we end up becoming an integrated organization? I’m curious how you pulled off such magic.”
Team leader Na Do-yeon had talked about the integrated organization after the meeting with the business strategy department.
At that time, manager Ahn Jae-kyung was quite surprised by the possibility.
But he still thought it would fail eventually.
That’s how unrealistic the creation of the integrated organization was.
But at this moment, all of that became reality.
He couldn’t believe the face of manager Ahn Jae-kyung, and Yoo-hyun gave him an unexpected answer.
“I didn’t pull off any magic.”
“Then what?”
“The ones who pulled off magic were our team members, including you, manager.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Thanks to the data that the team members made together, the vice president was able to have confidence in the success of the smartphone. Without that, we wouldn’t have been able to negotiate with the group management headquarters.”
There would have been no result today if the colleagues had not brought out their potential.
Yoo-hyun felt that his words were sincere, and manager Ahn Jae-kyung nodded his head with a faint smile.
“That makes sense when you say it like that.”
“It’s the truth. Of course, the biggest credit goes to manager Ahn, who provided the idea.”
“I don’t know if I deserve such praise when I didn’t do much.”
“The bear jelly is enough for me.”
“Haha! I’m glad I brought it.”
Yoo-hyun smiled as he watched manager Ahn Jae-kyung shrug his shoulders.
Manager Ahn Jae-kyung said he was comfortable with Yoo-hyun, but Yoo-hyun felt the same way.
He had more than a friend’s comfort with him.
Was it because of their deep connection in the past?
Strangely enough, when he talked to manager Ahn Jae-kyung, his true feelings came out naturally.
He felt like talking more and more.
Manager Ahn Jae-kyung suddenly said to him.
“You must have a lot of worries, manager.”
“Why do you say that?”
“The real fight is about to start, isn’t it? You seemed to care a lot about that too.”
Manager Ahn Jae-kyung was obviously aware of the successor battle.
Especially knowing the relationship between vice president Shin Kyung-wook and Yoo-hyun, he was secretly worried.
But Yoo-hyun was only calm.
“I thought I would, but I didn’t.”
“Then what?”
“I just don’t care much. It feels like a natural thing happened.”
Yoo-hyun, who had been tormented by Shin Kyung-soo in the past, ended up working in the same building as him.
He had a lot of things to pay back to his competitors, who had suddenly surrounded him.
Yet, there was not even a ripple in Yoo-hyun’s heart.
It was a moment he had been waiting for a long time, but it was a strange feeling.
Manager Ahn Jae-kyung asked.
“Are you not burdened?”
“It’s not an easy situation, but I don’t think it’s impossible.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Does that mean you’re confident?”
“No, I don’t think we’ll lose this way.”
When did it start?
He felt like he had this thought from some point.
His obsession with Shin Kyung-soo also faded away.
Manager Ahn Jae-kyung gave him an unexpected remark, looking at his serene expression.
“It sounds like you’re trying to step back.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Well, it seems like you think you don’t have to take the lead anymore. It also seems like you’re building the organization to be that way.”
“That might be true. I guess I’m not nervous because my colleagues are doing so well.”
It wasn’t just a casual remark, but an objective fact.
The team had grown faster than Yoo-hyun’s expectation, and the other colleagues, including vice president Shin Kyung-wook, showed more than expected skills in their positions.
They were people who had been shaky and squeaky at first, but now they were firmly settled.
This was the way to go.
If they went on like this, they would break through the storm that would soon hit, and reach the place they wanted.
He guided them to link the differentiated points they derived to the related department’s work.
Seeing that vice president Yeo Tae-sik was also attending, it seemed like he wanted to formalize the agenda that came out here.
At the same time, he seemed to suggest a detailed direction for the integration plan.
‘He said he would make the exhibition participants work hard.’
Yoo-hyun recalled manager Ahn Jae-kyung’s words from a while ago and curled his lips.
Too bad, it was already decided.
Manager Ahn Jae-kyung had already assigned it, so Yoo-hyun said easily.
“Just do it roughly, why are you so worried?”
“I can’t do it roughly. A lot depends on me.”
“Relax your shoulders. You’ll get sick if you overdo it.”
Tap tap.
Yoo-hyun tapped the shoulder of his colleague who was burdened.
He needed to be a little lighter.
He had a wider view and deeper thoughts, which was good, but overdoing it was forbidden.
“I’m not overdoing it...”
Deputy Kwon Se-jung was about to argue, when deputy Jang Jun-sik came over and greeted him.
“Manager, hello.”
“Jun-sik, did you have a good trip?”
“Yes, I did. Manager, here’s some chocolate.”
He answered with a straight back and handed him a paper bag.
There were chocolate and a small postcard in it.
He told him not to buy any gifts, but he brought just the right amount.
It was a pretty sensible choice, and Yoo-hyun chuckled.
“Thank you. You look relaxed.”
“No, I have a lot to prepare. Oh, do you want me to share the results with you before the report?”
“That’s okay. Don’t do that, and give some strength to Se-jung... No, to Hyun-woo.”
He was answering when Yoo-hyun paused, looking at deputy Jung Hyun-woo who was sitting far away.
They looked at the same place, and deputy Jang Jun-sik tilted his head.
“Why is that?”
“Look at that. Hyun-woo is shaking his legs.”
Deputy Jung Hyun-woo had to present manager Shin Nak-kyun’s part as well.
Manager Ahn Jae-kyung had pointed out that part, so deputy Jung Hyun-woo was understandably nervous.
Manager Shin Nak-kyun approached him with a stern expression.
He thought he would scold him, but what?
Manager Shin Nak-kyun said a few words to him, and then patted his shoulder.
Deputy Jung Hyun-woo’s eyes sparkled, and he nodded and thanked him.
Manager Shin Nak-kyun waved his hand at him and turned around.
It was a warm sight of a senior and a junior.
Yoo-hyun looked at it incredulously.
“What’s up with those two? Se-jung, why are they like that?”
“I don’t know. They stuck together in Barcelona, and they seem to have gotten closer.”
“Even though the other one is manager Shin?”
“Right. It doesn’t make sense.”
Even deputy Kwon Se-jung, who had a good sense, couldn’t figure out the atmosphere.
Yoo-hyun was curious, but deputy Jung Hyun-woo looked too busy to ask.
He just encouraged him to do well.
The report began in that situation.
The team members gathered in the meeting room, and vice president Yeo Tae-sik sat in the upper seat.
He was talking to team leader Na Do-yeon, and he looked at the people.
Yoo-hyun was familiar, but he was the second in command of the innovation strategy room.
Even though he showed a gentle look, the people were tense.
Vice president Yeo Tae-sik opened his mouth.
“Don’t be nervous and present. I’m not here to criticize, but to help.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Deputy Choi Kyu-tae, who answered, started first.
“First of all, in this MWC case...”
He briefly introduced the exhibition products, and then showed the demands of the global companies he met during the exhibition period.
Among them, he suggested a strategy to delete some features that only applied to some countries, such as DMB, and produce them integrally.
Instead, he wanted to secure competitiveness by lowering the price through mass production of common varieties.
The reason why he could propose this aggressive production strategy?
It was thanks to Hyun Jin-geon Construction’s modem.
