Real Man-Chapter 729
Jung Hyun-woo, the assistant manager, looked blankly at the scene and quickly scanned the data.
‘I need to back up somehow.’
No matter how good his royal connections and Spanish skills were, getting the results was a different story.
He knew that the other side was in a negative position, so he needed to be more prepared.
But what was this?
The meeting that started right after was shockingly full of twists.
Wow!
Jung Hyun-woo couldn’t close his mouth throughout the meeting.
And by the time he came to his senses, the contract was already signed.
A few days later, Jung Hyun-woo returned to the Hansung Tower office and dragged a chair.
Rumble.
He entered between Yoo-hyun and Kwon Se-jung, the assistant manager, and spewed out the heroic deeds of Shin Nak-kyun, the section chief, with saliva flying.
“When I was in Spain, Shin Nak-kyun, the section chief, was like this…”
Click. Click.
Kwon Se-jung, who was checking the comprehensive production line inspection sheet, answered sullenly.
“Come on, it can’t be that bad.”
“No, it was really no joke.”
“What’s the big deal if he didn’t speak Spanish?”
“He didn’t not speak it, he pretended he couldn’t. And what did he say at the beginning…”
Yoo-hyun, who was listening, blurted out.
“Quiero besarte.”
“Wow! Is that right? How did you know, Yoo-hyun?”
“What does that mean?”
Kwon Se-jung, who was puzzled, asked Yoo-hyun for an explanation.
“It means a man wants to kiss a woman.”
“What? Why did he say that out of the blue?”
“Hyung, it wasn’t out of the blue. That one line made everyone laugh and it was a riot. Thanks to that, the atmosphere was completely relaxed.”
“Really? I thought he was only stiff and prickly, but he can make jokes like that.”
“I was surprised too. And then Shin section chief did something else… Huh? Shin section chief!”
Jung Hyun-woo, who was excitedly continuing his story, jumped up and waved his arm.
Shin Nak-kyun, who turned his head, nodded at Yoo-hyun and tried to pass by.
Then, Jung Hyun-woo ran over and grabbed Shin Nak-kyun’s arm.
“Come over here. I was just talking about your exploits.”
“What? Hey, Jung, I told you not to say anything.”
“So what? You did great.”
“That’s not the point! Ah! You really have a problem with your mouth, your mouth.”
“Why me? Why are you only like this to me?”
Jung Hyun-woo pouted his lips, and Yoo-hyun smiled.
“Hyun-woo, do you want me to tell you why?”
“Is there a reason?”
“Of course. A while ago, I had a meeting with a Spanish company called Narutal Power with Shin section chief…”
As Yoo-hyun was about to continue, Shin Nak-kyun came over and put his arm around him with a forced smile.
“Hahaha! Section chief, you’ve worked hard, right? I’ll buy you a drink.”
“A drink? For everyone here?”

“Y-yes.”
Shin Nak-kyun nodded his head with clenched teeth, and Jung Hyun-woo joined in without any tact.
“Wow! What’s the occasion?”
“Shut up, you.”
“Okay. If I shut up, you’ll buy me a drink too, right?”
“Just be quiet, will you?”
“I’ll just listen to the menu. What are you buying?”
It wasn’t the same as the dejected Jung Hyun-woo.
As he bit and pulled with his unique shamelessness, Shin Nak-kyun finally gave up.
“Whatever you want. Are you happy?”
“Yay! That’s my specialty.”
“Sigh!”
Shin Nak-kyun sighed and turned his body to leave, but he looked at Yoo-hyun.
Then he made a pitiful look and put his index finger on his lips.
He shook his head as if to tell him not to say anything.
Yoo-hyun chuckled as he watched him.
‘That guy is funny too.’
Shin Nak-kyun’s absurd behavior was irrelevant to the work.
The work was well finished.
Thanks to that, he was able to secure the necessary distribution network early.
Now, Yang Sang-yeol, the department head, had no choice but to have fire on his heels.
His confident move was blocked, so he would come out more extreme.
It was time to end this.
Yoo-hyun was looking ahead to his next move.
Jung Hyun-woo, who was pondering over the drinking menu, asked Kwon Se-jung.
“By the way, where is Jang section chief now? Is he in Sindorim?”
“Probably. He had a meeting with a company there today.”
“A company meeting? The external production is done, right?”
“He was also in charge of managing the software team. He told the team leader and joined right away.”
“Oh, then he must be meeting with the company that makes the messenger.”
The only thing that the software team collaborated with an external company was WithH, which modified Hansung Note.
It was a part that attracted a lot of attention, so Jung Hyun-woo knew the situation.
Kwon Se-jung nodded his head.
“Right. Double Y. I don’t know why their name is so childish. Don’t you think, Yoo-hyun?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah.”
“Why are you so absent-minded? Are you worried that Jun-sik will overdo it again?”
“No, it’s not that.”
Yoo-hyun wasn’t worried about Jang Jun-sik.
He believed that he was a mature junior who would do well.
He was worried about something else.
Beep.
-Double Y work bot: Hansung Electronics meeting in 10 minutes. Sindorim campus. Participants-Manager, Alice, Silent, Silverstar.
It was while Yoo-hyun glanced at his phone screen.
Jung Hyun-woo pinpointed what Yoo-hyun was worried about.
“Anyway, Jang section chief will probably nag the company people a lot.”
“I guess so. He never bends unless he has to. That’s why the external equipment company people were trembling when they saw Jun-sik.”
“Didn’t he send back the equipment that the company said was impossible several times and made it work?”
“That’s not all. The executives there also came out to the factory and stayed up all night because of Jun-sik. He’ll do the same this time for sure.”
Kwon Se-jung was confident in his words, and Yoo-hyun disagreed.
“He wouldn’t do that.”
“Yoo-hyun, it’s not someone else, it’s Jun-sik. And don’t you know that the design manager of WithH is Jae-hee?”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Why don’t you care? He treats you so rudely just because Han Jae-hee is your sister. You should demand more from the company for Jae-hee’s sake.”
Even though it was a collaboration, Hansung was still the leader.
They had the right to make necessary requests as the ones who were driving the project, but the problem was that Jeong Da-hye was also attending the meeting.
Considering their personalities and positions, there was a high chance of conflict.
‘Da-hye knows Junsik, but Junsik doesn’t know her.’
He should have told Jang Junsik, his assistant, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
He didn’t want his beloved junior to make decisions based on his senior’s opinion.
As he was having complicated thoughts, his phone rang again.
Beep.
-Han Jae-hee: Oppa, Jang Assistant is no joke from the start. Unni and Doha are struggling, struggling.
“……”
“Yoo-hyun, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
“Uh. I think there is something.”
Yoo-hyun nodded his head nervously.
The next morning, early.
Yoo-hyun ran in the park in front of his officetel.
He had stopped running for a while after leaving Hansung, but he started again a few days ago.
But he wasn’t alone. Jeong Da-hye was with him.
“Huff. Huff. Huff.”
She stopped running and he handed her a bottle of water.
“Drink up.”
“Thank you.”
She drank the water and sat down on a bench.
She was soaked in sweat from head to toe, showing how hard she had run.
He sat next to her and asked her as he wiped his sweat with a towel.
“Are you pushing yourself too hard?”
“No way. I need to run more to build up stamina for sparring.”
“Are you really planning to enter a competition?”
“Well, even if not, the master said I have talent. And I enjoy it.”
“Oh, right……”
It was what the master, who had returned to Korea a while ago, had said while coaching Jeong Da-hye.
Of course, Yoo-hyun thought it was lip service, but he couldn’t say that.
Instead, he brought up yesterday’s topic.
“Doha contacted me and complained.”
“Because of yesterday’s meeting?”
“Yes. He was unhappy about being dragged around. He said he endured it because he saw my face.”
“No way. He just got pushed back and his pride was hurt.”
Jeong Da-hye answered nonchalantly, catching her breath, and Yoo-hyun blinked.
“Doha got pushed back?”
“Not in the work, but in the logical argument. Hansung has the initiative in the product launch, so nothing he did worked. And Jang Assistant was good at talking.”
“He was a bit rough, though.”
“It wasn’t rough, but desperate. I could feel his passion for the product. That’s why I trusted him more.”
He had only heard a part of it yesterday, but it felt different when he connected it with Doha’s story.
Yoo-hyun nodded.
“He does have that side to him. But that’s not good for Double Y, is it?”
“I think it’s a good direction. The product success is more important, we’re not working to make ourselves comfortable.”
“What about the dissatisfaction among the employees?”
“That’s temporary. It might not be fun when things don’t go our way, but when we succeed later, we’ll be grateful for this moment. We learned a lot thanks to him.”
“Well, then I’m glad.”
Jeong Da-hye thought positively about the meeting, making his worries unnecessary.
It was the result of Jang Junsik’s assistant’s true value being fully displayed.
‘I’m glad I didn’t tell Junsik.’
Yoo-hyun felt a little proud.
Then Jeong Da-hye asked him suddenly.
“By the way, are you okay, Yoo-hyun?”
“What do you mean?”
“It seems like some bad news came out since last night. Look at this.”
Swipe.
Yoo-hyun looked at the phone screen that Jeong Da-hye handed him.
It was a news he had already seen, and it was the work of Yang Sang-yeol, the director.
Yoo-hyun felt his impatience in the article and uttered a meaningful word.
“It doesn’t matter. It’ll be over soon.”
A smile appeared on Yoo-hyun’s lips.
Why did negative news about Hansung smartphone suddenly pop up?
Yoo-hyun knew the reason, and he felt relieved in a way.
‘I’m glad Gerard Kim is gone.’
If he had stepped in, the media war would have been more complicated.
But thanks to Yang Sang-yeol, the director, taking the lead, his trick was obvious.
Click.
Yoo-hyun sat in his office and checked the reactions to the article that Jeong Da-hye had shown him.
-If it’s the same as the leaked mockup design, it doesn’t make sense. And they say they use the latest Qualcomm AP.
-Sony messed up with that and went bankrupt. The specs are high, but the heat is unbearable when connected to LTE.
-Hansung is thinner, and the back is glass. You can tell the design team and the development team are working separately, right?
-Tech Magazine did a pre-review. It said it would be the worst, no need to see more.
-But it’s pretty. My family is all waiting to switch.
The stale bait with the experts’ names on it caught fire again.
Thanks to the rather specific comments, foreign review sites also quoted the article.
That was proof that people were interested in Hansung smartphone.
Yang Sang-yeol, the director, didn’t write the article to check that.
Then what did he want?
Yoo-hyun guessed his move and picked up his phone.
The other person was Kwon Se-jung, the assistant in charge of the integrated production line.
A little later.
Yang Sang-yeol, the director, received an urgent report from his subordinate.
“Director, we’ve confirmed the location of the test prototype!”
“Really?”
“As you said, the security of the laboratory connected to the production line was relatively weak. There were piles of items that had finished the heat test in the inner warehouse.”
“How many staff are there? There must be a gap.”
Yang Sang-yeol crossed his arms and nodded his head, and his subordinate repeated what he had guessed.
“It seems that there is definitely a problem, judging by the intensive heat test.”
“Of course there is a problem. We need to find out what trick they are using to avoid it.”
“Yes. Then we’ll proceed as planned, as carefully as possible.”
“Good. Let’s finish this once and for all. Hehe!”
A vicious smile appeared on Yang Sang-yeol’s lips.
