Chapter 202
Yoo-hyun chuckled and pulled his wrist.
His slender body jerked up.
Thump thump.
Yoo-hyun dusted off his clothes and said,
“People might misunderstand.”
“…”
“What’s wrong with liking something good?”
Yoo-hyun repeated what he had said to Manager Kim Young-gil.
Then he bowed curtly.
“Please take care of me. Do you know? I’m coming here on a dispatch.”
“…”
“Please forget about today’s incident and welcome me then.”
“You, you…”
“Well, I’ll go ahead, senior.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and walked away.
Thud thud.
Behind his back, he heard the sound of grinding teeth.
“Wait, just wait.”
What are you going to do?
He was actually hoping for that.
Then, there were two people who were listening attentively on the lower floor of the emergency stairs.
They were Senior Maeng Gi-yong and Chief Kim Seon-dong from the Preceding Product Team Part 1.
They saw Yoo-hyun leave through the emergency exit and Senior Maeng Gi-yong snickered.
“Wow. Senior Yoon got served. Right?”
“Yes. Ye-yes.”
“Hehe. Ah, hilarious. A psycho joined the Product Planning Team.”
“…”
Chief Kim Seon-dong blinked his big eyes, and Senior Maeng Gi-yong put his arm around his shoulder.
“Hey, were you scared too?”
“No, no.”
“It’ll be more fun from now on.”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong seemed to enjoy it and shrugged his shoulders.
Chief Kim Seon-dong still looked nervous.
On the other hand, Senior Yoon Gi-chun, who had slumped in his seat, felt his stomach burn.
He couldn’t control his anger.
He bit his thumbnail and chewed over his conversation with Yoo-hyun.
He jumped up.
And he went straight to the team leader.
“Team leader, isn’t it our turn this time?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The dispatchers from Hansung Tower. Don’t they come to Ulsan factory every year?”
“So what?”
“Well, last time Part 3 got them, so it’s our turn this time.”
Senior Yoon Gi-chun brought up the dispatch matter out of the blue, and Chief Kim Ho-geol looked baffled.
“Why? Do you want someone?”
“Yes. There’s someone I really want.”
Senior Yoon Gi-chun’s eyes sparkled with fire.
I’ll show him.
He clenched his teeth.
That evening.
Yoo-hyun finished his business trip and was on his way back.
On the train, Manager Kim Young-gil asked him curiously.
“By the way, what did you really do with Senior Yoon?”
“Why?”
“Just. I feel uneasy.”
“Nothing happened. I think I was a bit out of line, so I apologized.”
Yoo-hyun mumbled, and Assistant Manager Kim Young-gil sighed with relief.
“That’s good. You don’t need to make enemies for no reason.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Yoo-hyun nodded as if he understood, but of course he felt differently.
‘I didn’t come back here to die.’
He intended to save his allies.
But if not?
He was ready to crush anyone who got in his way.
Beep beep.
Then he got a text message.
It was from Jung Hyun-woo, who was in the Mobile Development Planning Team.
-Bro, did you come on a business trip today? If you had told me, I would have gone.
-It was a day trip. Let’s see each other next time I come down.
Yoo-hyun replied, and another message came in.
-Okay. But Part 4 asked about your part’s dispatch. They mentioned your name too.
Did Senior Yoon Gi-chun already make a move?
He just dropped a hint, but he bit it hard.
It was a quick action, and Yoo-hyun admired it.
-Really? I’ll go if I have to.
-Oh, good. Bro, come soon. Let’s live in Ulsan together.
Jung Hyun-woo sent a bright text as if he didn’t know anything.
It was funny.
Yoo-hyun laughed, and Manager Kim Young-gil asked.
“What’s up?”
“I have some good news.”
“Good news is good. I’m glad. Anyway, we finished our work well.”
“Now we only have the running part left.”
“Yeah. Let’s do our best.”
Manager Kim Young-gil fist-bumped him first.
Yoo-hyun giggled and bumped his fist back.
It was an unusual gesture for him.
The company was busy as usual.
Meanwhile, Yoo-hyun heard about the recent events around him.
Jung Ye-seul, who had finally passed the entrance exam to Inhyun University, was having fun at school.
She called him occasionally as before.
-Bro, I’m going to be a judo club manager.
“Is that where you ended up?”
-Yes. You have to be active in school life.
It was good that she was enjoying her school life, but her choices tended to be extreme.
Yoo-hyun advised her as a brother.
“That’s true, but think about it a little more.”
“I got it. I always listen to you, bro.”
“Study hard.”
“Okay, bro. I’ll call you again.”
Her voice was so sweet.
Unlike Han Jae-hee, she had a cute side to her.
He hung up the phone with his sister, Jung Ye-seul, and then another call came in.
It was from Jo Eun-ah.
She complained out of the blue.
“I applied for the staff department, but I don’t know where I’ll end up.”
“Leave it to fate.”
“I really don’t want to go to Ulsan like Hyun-woo.”
Jo Eun-ah had recently passed the entrance exam to Hansung Electronics.
And it was for the LCD business unit.
She should have been happy, but she had a lot of worries.
Yoo-hyun neatly sorted out her concerns.
“Just do well in the new employee training. Worry about the later stuff later.”
“Oh, bro, Han-soo also passed.”
“I know. He contacted me.”
He had met Lee Han-soo at school last time.
There were a lot of good news.
He hung up the phone and moved to the conference room.
Soon, the members of his part gathered in the conference room.
Yoo-hyun connected his laptop to the TV and spoke in a serious voice.
“Then I’ll play it now.”
“Okay. Let’s see.”
The members nodded as if they agreed.
Then a video played on the TV screen.
-Lalalalalalalalala.
Along with the fresh song, seven girl group members danced.
It was not just a dance video of a girl group.
They all had color phones of different colors in their hands.
As the members’ dazzling movements continued, people exclaimed here and there.
“Wow, it’s much better to see the full version.”
“Really. It looks great.”
“Wow. The clothes and the phones match.”
Choi Min-hee, who was watching quietly, poked Yoo-hyun’s side.
“Don’t you like it?”
“No. I love it.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and looked at the screen.
To others, it might have been just a curious advertisement.
But it came to Yoo-hyun with a slightly different meaning.
There were no color phones in Yoo-hyun’s past.
He was able to appear anew because he decided to change his life.
Was that why?
The copy text that flowed at the end stuck in Yoo-hyun’s heart.
-Change your life with color phones. Seven colors, seven beauties. Color phones.
It was after the advertisement ended.
Clap clap clap.
Park Seung-woo, who was watching from the opposite seat, gave a standing ovation.
“Change your life. Wow. Isn’t that really cool?”
“That’s cliché, what are you talking about?”
As if he had been waiting, Kim Hyun-min, the team leader, spat out a blunt remark. Park Seung-woo timidly fought back.
“Team leader, you really lack sensitivity.”
“Wait. This is not the time for this. Everyone, take out your phones.”
Kim Hyun-min gestured with a serious expression as if he had thought of something.
“Why?”
“Just take them out. Hurry.”
Everyone put their phones on the table with a nervous expression.
Six color phones of different colors came up.
They were the phones they received by reservation sales this morning.
Kim Hyun-min spoke in a solemn voice.
“Let’s pray for the engineers who worked like crazy to meet the deadline.”
“…”
“Everyone, pray.”
Since it wasn’t entirely wrong, people bowed their heads reluctantly.
Yoo-hyun was no exception.
‘They did work hard.’
The color phones were released to the market a day earlier than Ilsung Electronics’ haptic phones.
Comparing the development periods of the two phones, it was a crazy schedule.
He felt respect for the efforts of the development team and the factory people.
Then, Kim Hyun-min’s phone broke the silence and rang.
-Shabang, shabang~ Just kill me~
“Team leader, your ringtone.”
“Ugh. The color phone speaker performance is killer, isn’t it?”
“Is that what you say in this situation?”
“Of course. This is a sign of a huge hit. Color phones~ kill me~”
Kim Hyun-min spoke cheerfully and left with his phone.
Everyone looked at Kim Hyun-min’s back with a dumbfounded expression.
The market response to the color phones was hot as Yoo-hyun expected.
The market demanded change, and the cheap full-touch phones met that need exactly.
The result could be confirmed by the news that exploded every day.
He returned to his office and checked the news on his computer.
He got a phone call.
It was from Oh Eun-bi, a reporter who contacted him whenever she felt like it.
He was about to ask her for a favor anyway.
Yoo-hyun answered the phone with a pleasant feeling.
“Hello, reporter, how are you?”
-Huh? Your voice is bright again today?
“Thanks to you, reporter, for posting a lot of good articles.”
-Hehehe. You saw the color phone articles?
“Yes. Thank you for your attention.”
Oh Eun-bi had paid special attention to it.
She didn’t just post a lot of articles, but the quality was good too.
Thanks to that, most of the ranking news were filled with color phone news.
-You’re welcome. Oh, I posted another special article a while ago, did you see that?
“What article?”
-A comparison article between color phones and apple phones. It’s on the main page now.
Yoo-hyun checked the news section while talking.
As Oh Eun-bi said, there was a news article that had just been posted.
-I did a lot of research to write this…
“I see.”
-And…
Yoo-hyun listened to Oh Eun-bi’s chatter and checked the article content.
Battery capacity, camera, and so on.
She left out the disadvantages and only neatly summarized the advantages.
She even made a neat infographic, which would be tempting for ordinary people.
The internet comments also praised the color phones.
The article itself was good.
But there was something that bothered him.
-Did I do well?
“Yes. You paid a lot of attention.”
-Of course I did. You know how much I cared…
She paused for a moment, and Yoo-hyun asked.
“Reporter, did you see the announcement of the apple phone 2?”
-I checked the overseas articles. They had good reactions, right? Why do you ask?
“There wasn’t much news in Korea.”
-They won’t release it in Korea anyway. And even if they do, color phones will win.
Yoo-hyun felt sick at Oh Eun-bi’s words.
