Chapter 152
A woman walked up to them.
It was Nam Yoon-jin.
She asked in Japanese.
“What’s going on here?”
“It was the Ilsung Electronics employees who started the trouble.”
The one who answered her naturally was Yoo-hyun’s Japanese voice.
“What?”
Ignoring the blinking eyes of the part-timers behind him, Yoo-hyun explained the situation in detail.
“It’s one thing to talk to yourself, but it’s another to make a scene. Don’t you think it’s rude to openly disrespect another company?”
“Yes, it is. That’s not right.”
“Yes. Our client is not the type to get angry easily, but he was so offended by their remarks that he lost his temper. I’m sorry.”
“No, it seems like we were the ones who did wrong.”
“Maybe so.”
Nam Yoon-jin, the manager, gave the expected response.
It was not a good place to sort out the details of the incident.
The vice president was behind them.
She wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
That was why she apologized so readily.
“I’m sorry. I’ll tell our employees to apologize as well.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Nam Yoon-jin, the manager, approached the employees and said something. The employee came over quickly and bowed his head.
“Sumimasen.”
“It’s okay.”
As Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, was about to reply, Yoo-hyun wrapped it up in Japanese.
Then he bowed to Nam Yoon-jin, the manager.
“Thank you again.”
“Thank you.”
It seemed like they had handled the situation smoothly, but there was one problem left.
The people here mistook the part-timers for Japanese.
Kim Young-gil, the assistant manager, asked in a low voice.
“What do we do now?”
“What do you mean, what do we do? Just keep your mouth shut.”
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, who was at fault, shook his head at Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager.
Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, sighed as if he was wronged.
Choi Min-hee, the section chief, looked like she had given up.
The 11-hour flight to Germany was quiet enough to be memorable.
Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, who sat next to the Ilsung Electronics employee, even used Japanese when choosing the meal menu.
They arrived in Frankfurt, Germany.
They only breathed a sigh of relief after they found their luggage.
The one who was the happiest was Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager.
“Wow, I thought I was going to suffocate because of those Ilsung bastards.”
“It’s all because of you, deputy manager. You have no right to say that.”
“It’s okay. We won’t see them again, so what. And even if we see them at the exhibition, they won’t recognize us.”
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, was right.
Most of them wore sunglasses and casual clothes.
It would be hard to recognize them as the same faces if they wore suits and touched their hair.
They had only seen them briefly, and there was no way they would remember the details of their features.
Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, who was thinking quietly, said something.
“They might not know the others, but they would recognize Yoo-hyun’s face.”
“So what? He didn’t say he was Japanese, did he? He didn’t say he worked for a Japanese company either. He’s just a meticulous kid.”
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, chuckled and said.
Yoo-hyun also anticipated the situation and sorted it out properly, so there was no problem.
But.
‘Why do I feel so uneasy?’
He felt like something was twisted and tilted his head.
Choi Min-hee, the section chief, added fuel to his feeling.
“Sigh… I’m worried about the future.”
“Me too.”
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, quickly intervened at Yoo-hyun’s words.
“Section chief Choi, don’t forget to thank me when you have fun. Chan Ho, are you ready?”
“Yes. I’m sure.”
“Let’s go.”
Now that there was nothing to bother them, why did they feel so anxious?
Yoo-hyun shook his head and straightened his mind.
It was just a simple business trip.
It was unlikely that such a peculiar case would happen again.
All he had to do was visit the exhibition and look around the nearby tourist attractions and come back.
But.
Yoo-hyun’s mind control didn’t last long.
They were on their way from Frankfurt to Berlin by rental car.
Lee Chan Ho, who was driving, looked puzzled.
“Huh? What’s wrong with this? The navigation is broken.”
“I don’t know any of the roads. I don’t know what to do. I can’t even read the map.”
Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, who was in the passenger seat, shook his head.
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, who was sitting in the back seat, glanced at Yoo-hyun.
“Yoo-hyun, didn’t you say you knew the roads well?”
“…”
He asked, avoiding Yoo-hyun’s eyes, as if he felt a bit sorry.
-Why don’t we take the train? Driving is too far, and it’s easier to get around by subway when we get there.
Yoo-hyun had suggested taking the train to Berlin, since the connecting flight time didn’t match.
The high-speed train was so well developed that it would have been easy to go that way.
But they didn’t listen.
They all said that renting a car in Germany was their dream, and they insisted on choosing a rental car.
They told Yoo-hyun to take care of it and not to worry, and to just relax.
The result was Yoo-hyun’s passenger seat.
“Yes. I’ll do it.”
“Thanks. Haha.”
It was getting darker and darker, and they didn’t have much time.
Yoo-hyun had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat.
He spread out the map in the car and guided the way diligently.
The problem erupted again.
Thump thump thump.
Lee Chan Ho stopped the shaking car and said with a troubled expression.
“It looks like the tire has a puncture?”
“Hey, what do we do then? This place is totally rural.”
As Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, said, the surroundings were barren.
The road was so quiet that there were hardly any cars passing by.
Lee Chan Ho, who was worried, finally said to Yoo-hyun.
“Yu, Yoo-hyun. Can you make a phone call?”
“Okay.”
Yoo-hyun reassured Lee Chan Ho, who was scared, and called the rental car company.
They said it was difficult to get support right away because it was after work hours.
Instead, they told him how to replace it.
“Yes. Please tell me that.”
-Open the trunk in the back seat…
Yoo-hyun learned the method by phone and took out the spare tire and equipment from the trunk with Lee Chan Ho, the driver.
Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, who picked up the manual confidently, muttered.
“I don’t understand a word of it because it’s all in German.”
“Give it to me.”
In the end, Yoo-hyun had to do this too.
It was already dark outside.
“There are a lot of mountains.”
“Sigh.”
On the German road where there were few streetlights and only mountains, a sigh was heard. Choi Min-hee, the section chief, who had endured it, finally said something.
“I should have listened to Yoo-hyun and stayed at the hotel and took the train tomorrow.”
“Section chief Choi, it’s all over. It will be a fun business trip as much as we suffered.”
“…”
He was right.
And it should have been.
There should have been no such thing as not being able to eat dinner because the restaurants on the street were all closed.
And there should have been no such thing as getting an emergency call when they arrived at dawn.
They finally arrived at the hotel after a lot of trouble.
But the deputy manager Kim Hyun-min, who received a phone call in front of the lobby, looked serious.
He finally hung up the phone and shouted.
“Crazy. Why are they telling us to do this?”
“What? What did the person in charge say?”
“They said the pipe burst near our spot at the exhibition hall and we have to change the location.”
Everyone blinked at the unexpected words.
Then Choi Min-hee, the section chief, asked.
“What about section chief Byun?”
“He said he’s going to Frankfurt to pick up the team leader. He’s totally crazy, isn’t he?”
“Then what do we do? We’re the ones in charge, aren’t we?”
“What do you mean, what do we do? Sigh.”
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, sighed deeply.
It was a ridiculous situation that the mobile group person in charge left to pick up the sales team leader.
Someone had to do something because the mobile group was in charge.
If this became a problem, the business trip that they thought would be easy would be hopeless.
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, glanced at Yoo-hyun.
He shook his head by himself as if he had nothing to say.
“I’ll go by myself and you guys rest.”
“How can you do that? Let’s go together.”
“It’s no use going together. Just stay here.”
“We’ll die together if we die, and live together if we live.”
It was a roar that they uttered in a situation where they hadn’t even unpacked their luggage.
The part-timers had that much solidarity.
It was a touching scene, but Yoo-hyun sighed inwardly.
He knew the result.
The people who were already there couldn’t handle it until dawn.
There was no way they could solve it by flocking there.
In other words, it was something Yoo-hyun had to do again.
In the end, Yoo-hyun opened his mouth.
“Let’s go together.”
It was as Yoo-hyun expected.
The people from the other group who came first were confused and couldn’t do anything.
It was difficult to communicate properly with the exhibition hall staff who came to support at dawn.
It wasn’t just because their conversation was weak.
There were too many factors to go through to change the room.
Yoo-hyun had no choice but to step up.
“This is what we want…”
“Ah, that’s a bit difficult. How about the location of the private booth…”
“Then how about changing it like this…”
The employees who were talking in German just stared blankly at Yoo-hyun.
The negotiation was not smooth, but Yoo-hyun persisted in his demands.
“Our Hansung is…”
“That is…”
“You have to do this…”
It wasn’t just a matter of changing the place.
They also had to get a fair compensation from the exhibition side who made the mistake.
Thanks to that, they got a bigger room than the Ilsung Electronics LCD division, but they had to work hard in the negotiation process.
That too, in a very tired state.
That’s when they stamped it.
Soon, the people from the other group came and applauded.
“Wow, it’s much faster to speak in German.”
“I wondered why the mobile person in charge suddenly left, but you sent such a talent.”
“We really owe it to the mobile group. Deputy manager Kim, thank you.”
“…”
They were the people who backed off, saying they were not in charge.
They might have thought it was easy from their point of view.
But the part-timers who helped and watched the process were not.
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, glanced at Yoo-hyun and said.
“Thank you to the mobile group, not the mobile group, the mobile group product planning team 3rd part, no, Han Yoo-hyun here.”
“Yes?”
“There’s nothing to thank section chief Byun Jin-woo, the sales team person in charge. How can he go anywhere when this situation happened? Does that make sense?”
“Oh, is that so?”
“I didn’t know that.”
Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, spoke bluntly to the group of people who were buzzing.
“I’ll summarize it again. The person in charge ran away, and we worked hard, not related to the exhibition support. Got it?”
“Yes? Oh, yes. I understand.”
They were all friends with section chief Byun Jin-woo.
But Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, looked so hard that they couldn’t tackle him.
He nailed it to those employees.
“So when section chief Byun comes, you should question him. I won’t stay still either.”
“Ah, okay. Thank you.”
Only then did the group of people come to their senses and greet them again.
“Yoo-hyun, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
It doesn’t matter what they do when they leave.
At least he felt a little relieved.
Yoo-hyun held his tired body and slumped on the bench.
Soon, Park Seung-woo, the assistant manager, approached cautiously.
There was a lot of apology on his face.
“Yoo-hyun, are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m okay.”
The others were the same.
“You worked hard. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
“Sorry. I insisted on renting.”
“Come on, let’s just listen to Yoo-hyun from now on.”
Why are they putting so much pressure on me when I just want to rest?
“I’m fine.”
Even though Yoo-hyun said he was fine, Kim Hyun-min, the deputy manager, shook his head.
