Chapter 147
He wished he could just take it lightly like Kwon Se-jung.
Stress was only harmful to himself.
Yoo-hyun comforted him lightly.
“I learned it too. And this situation is just because of good luck.”
“No. You did well.”
Min Jeong-hyuk muttered with his head down.
He looked like he was wounded by his pride.
Yoo-hyun felt sorry for him, since he was the only one among the three who failed the seminar.
It seemed to be the same for Kwon Se-jung.
He kept his mouth shut.
Then Min Jeong-hyuk lifted his head.
His eyes sparkled.
“Yoo-hyun, can I ask you again next time?”
“Of course.”
“I’ll buy you a drink.”
He even offered an over, which he never did.
He couldn’t refuse that.
“Sure.”
“Yoo-hyun, me too. Me too.”
“Of course.”
Yoo-hyun nodded, and Kwon Se-jung gave him a thumbs up.
Then he asked the question he had been holding back.
“Yoo-hyun, but we can make panels by using the existing line and changing the parts, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Can the mobile phone division make phones by the exhibition? It doesn’t seem like they have time to make the structure.”
It was a reasonable question.
But Yoo-hyun didn’t need to worry about it.
“Well, I guess they’ll figure it out.”
“I guess so. I’m just worried.”
“They’ll probably do well. Don’t worry.”
They had to do well.
They had a bigger problem than here.
Yoo-hyun just smiled.
That day, when the quitting time was approaching, Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, came up to him and said.
“How about a drink today?”
“Sure.”
Yoo-hyun gladly agreed.
He felt like drinking today.
After work.
Yoo-hyun and Park Seung-woo had a cold draft beer at a pub.
“Ah, this is good.”
“Is it good?”
“Of course. It’s free.”
“Then drink up.”
“Of course.”
Yoo-hyun smiled.
Seeing him, Park Seung-woo asked cautiously.
“What is your goal in life?”
“Goal…”
Yoo-hyun couldn’t finish his sentence at the sudden question.
Park Seung-woo, who was watching him quietly, drank his draft beer.
“You’re crazy.”
“Me?”
“Yeah. You’re really crazy.”
“Why?”
Yoo-hyun asked, and Park Seung-woo’s face turned serious.
“You seem to be very fast if you want to succeed.”
“Really?”
“Am I stupid? Do you think I don’t know that you’re doing things and giving credit to others?”
“…”
Yoo-hyun was speechless, and Park Seung-woo opened his mouth with a sigh.
“Ordinary people think of themselves first.”
“…”
“But you’re different. Are you Jesus or Buddha?”
“Of course not.”
Yoo-hyun barely opened his mouth, and Park Seung-woo’s machine gun came out.
“Then why? Why do you care so much about others?”
“It’s my personality, I guess.”
“Bullshit. That’s why you’re crazy.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun smiled bitterly.
He might be right.
If a stranger saw him, he would be crazy.
But Yoo-hyun had a painful memory first.
Never again…
He didn’t want to live like that.
So he was struggling.
He didn’t mind being crazy.
As long as he could change.
He could do more.
Yoo-hyun’s eyes flashed for a moment.
Park Seung-woo, who was looking at him, opened his mouth again.
“Yoo-hyun.”
“Yes.”
“I don’t know what kind of past you had or what kind of secret you have.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun felt his chest sink like a guilty person.
He barely calmed down and looked at Park Seung-woo.
Park Seung-woo also looked at Yoo-hyun without blinking and opened his heart.
“One thing is clear…”
“Tell me.”
“I want to be very grateful to whoever sent you.”
It was strange.
At that one sentence, Yoo-hyun felt his chest cool down. It felt like his pain was erased.
He suppressed his overflowing chest and met his eyes.
“Assistant manager.”
“This is not just my opinion. It’s the heart of everyone in our team, including the manager.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“We should be thankful. Come on, let’s drink.”
“Shall we?”
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly.
Park Seung-woo smiled back.
“Can we live like this? Aren’t we too shameless?”
“No. We have to live. Just like this.”
Yoo-hyun’s voice was full of strength.
The next day, at the Hansung Electronics Sindorim Campus, 5th floor.
The mobile phone division’s next-generation product development team was having a heated discussion in the conference room.
“Team leader, there’s too much to fix. We have to change the board completely to add external memory and DMB functions.”
“This mockup is really just for demo. It has HMOP in it, but there’s nothing you can use.”
“Putting in the modem chip is also a problem. There’s no space.”
“Ha… I’m going crazy.”
The next-generation product development team leader, Go Jun-gil, looked at the schedule written on the whiteboard.
It was physically impossible.
He swallowed his dry saliva.
He should have considered this part when he supported the mockup.
But he couldn’t back out now that he was the one who refused.
And he couldn’t go against the vice president’s direct order.
Considering his personality, it was a miracle that he still had his head.
Damn.
Go Jun-gil, the senior executive, bit his lower lip and shouted.
“Was it Semi Electronics? Call them all.”
“I’ve contacted them. I think we’ll have to pay the advance payment.”
“Is money the problem now? We have to do something.”
Bang.
Go Jun-gil slammed the table in anger, but he knew that wouldn’t solve anything.
What should he do?
As he was worrying, a new employee raised his hand.
“Sir, team leader.”
“Speak.”
“Well… about the exhibition, how about we go with half a product?”
“Ha, half a product?”
Go Jun-gil sneered, and the part leader who was watching the situation scolded Kang Chang-seok.
“Chang-seok, this is a product. Does that make sense?”
“Wait. Let’s hear him out. Go on.”
“Yes? Oh, yes.”
-It’s an exhibition, right? Just block the structure with a small battery and connect the cable. They won’t know if there’s an external memory if they can’t open the lid. And they won’t be able to use the phone or DMB there.
Kang Chang-seok recalled what Yoo-hyun had said and continued cautiously.
“We only show the screen when the icon is clicked, and block the ones that don’t work. And we just make the communication unavailable.”
“You mean we make a separate one for the exhibition. We do the work twice, right?”
“Yes…”
Kang Chang-seok uttered his voice in a low tone.
The expression of Go Jun-gil, the team leader, was not good.
“Ha.”
He even sighed deeply.
Then, a surprising word came out of his mouth.
“Well, I’ve done all kinds of things in my life. I’m not responsible.”
“Yes, team leader.”
“There’s no way. Contact the design center and tell them to make two models.”
“Got it.”
“Kim, senior, check how far you can go with the demo concept that Chang-seok said.”
“Yes. Got it.”
The meeting was settled according to Kang Chang-seok’s opinion.
Even after the meeting, the seniors praised him for his good idea.
It was the first warm word he had heard from his seniors in his company life.
“…”
Kang Chang-seok lost his words and recalled what Yoo-hyun had said.
-The schedule won’t work, so you’ll have to make a separate one for the exhibition. Or there’s no way.
How did he know that?
Did he intend to do all this from the beginning?
As he thought about Yoo-hyun’s actions and words, Kang Chang-seok’s face gradually turned pale.
A while later.
Hansung Electronics Sindorim Campus Design Center Office.
“Senior Jang, did you see the email from the development team?”
“Just a moment.”
When Go Yu-ri, the team leader, asked, Jang Hye-min, the senior, got up and came over.
She even brought a notebook and listened attentively.
Go Yu-ri hid her embarrassment and asked.
“Uh, the exhibition model and the product model circuit are completely different, so I don’t know what to base it on.”
“That’s a good question. What do you think, Yu-ri?”
“Yes? Oh… I think we should match it to the product, but the schedule is…”
“That’s right. You have a good sense.”
“Th, thank you.”
Go Yu-ri bowed her head in surprise at the excessive kindness and favor.
Come to think of it, Jang Hye-min always led the conversation like this.
She was her mentee, and she still worked next to her, but she still couldn’t adapt.
“Senior Jang, then can I design it according to the concept you told me last time?”
“Yes. Design it for the final product, but also cover the exhibition model circuit.”
‘Huh? So you want me to make a completely new one? Is the schedule possible? No way…’
Suddenly, a cold chill rose from the back of her neck.
She remembered Jang Hye-min’s work style that she had forgotten.
She swallowed her saliva and asked.
“Then, what about the exhibition?”
“We can go with what we’re making now.”
“… Then what about the schedule?”
“Don’t worry. Just think of the revisions and do it roughly, and you’ll be done quickly.”
Does that make sense?
It’s not like going to a neighborhood drawing contest, making a product design in a few days.
Jang Hye-min seemed to really believe that it was possible.
Go Yu-ri swallowed her saliva again and said cautiously.
“But this is an important product…”
“It’s okay. You can do it. Do you want me to do it if it’s hard?”
Who would say they can’t do it in this situation?
None.
“No, no. I’ll do it.”
“Okay. Then let’s get the final design out by next week.”
It was the moment when the all-night work was confirmed.
And because of the boss who pushed her to quit early, she had to work overtime in hiding.
“Yes…”
Go Yu-ri’s voice faded.
Jang Hye-min, who cheered up her junior by patting her shoulder, returned to her seat.
Then she took out the mockup that Yoo-hyun had given her and touched it.
The exterior design part with low mass production was easy to supplement with Go Yu-ri’s skills.
It was just a matter of changing the material and trimming it a little.
So the exterior design itself was not a big concern.
She was more interested in the interior design.
Tick.
Jang Hye-min clicked on the icon on the mockup screen.
The image that changed the format and design concept as she requested a while ago came up.
“Was it Han Jae-hee? The more I think about it, the smarter he is.”
He quickly did the order that she threw without much expectation, even though he was not a career person but a college student.
She kept throwing him requirements, and he made the results without a word.
She couldn’t say that the quality was high, but she had to praise his perseverance.
There were hardly any people who could follow her like this in the company.
This was a pretty good level.
Just like Jang Hye-min herself when she was young.
“I should meet him once.”
She smiled with curiosity for the first time in a while.
