Chapter 217
Chapter 217
After Yoo-hyun left, Jin-mok Lee, the team leader, looked at his back and said with a worried tone.
“Senior, how can you let him go alone?”
Next to him was Kiyong Maeng, the senior engineer.
“What can we do? He said he would do it for us.”
“But that guy, he’s really smart.”
“Why?”
“He just gets things done even if you just mention them briefly.”
Jin-mok Lee chuckled at his words and spat out a low voice.
“Still, this job is going to be hard.”
“Yes. If he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’ll have to stay up all night.”
“I know. I don’t even know when we have to write the report…”
Kiyong Maeng clicked his tongue and Jin-mok Lee agreed vehemently.
“I feel like I’m being overworked when I look at it.”
“I know, right?”
The two were full of worries.
Yoo-hyun’s destination was the module building connected to the office building.
He took the elevator to the third floor, crossed the sky bridge and went to the third floor of the module building.
It was only one building away, but the people’s outfits were different.
Most of the people here were wearing navy blue collar T-shirts.
There was a Hansung LCD logo on the chest of the T-shirts.
Yoo-hyun looked at them and recalled his memories of working on modules in the past.
-Why is our schedule always delayed? We made a reservation.
-There’s something called priority, priority. Sigh. This is why engineers don’t communicate well.
Every time he worked on modules, the schedule was always delayed.
Sometimes it was because of the previous work, and sometimes it was because of the late-coming modules that pushed him back.
The module work in the fourth factory was done by hand.
He understood that there was no exact schedule for that.
But the problem was that the priority was too biased.
It was because everyone had their own interests, and the person who had the power here was the work leader.
In the end, convincing him was the key, but Yoo-hyun realized that too late.
But not now.
Yoo-hyun had already thought of a way to persuade him in a short time.
‘If I do that…’
He had already finished investigating him.
He was confident that he could make a different result from the past.
It was when Yoo-hyun entered the module workshop with a folding cart.
A bright space contrasted with the dark hallway came into his sight.
There were employees who were working busily and raising their voices.
“Hey. Hurry up and take it out. The schedule behind is delayed.”
“Yes. I got it.”
Yoo-hyun looked for the work leader first as he entered.
He couldn’t find him for a while even though he had seen his photo on the site.
Then he asked a female employee in front of him.
“Hello. I’m Yoo-hyun Han from the Preceding Product Team 4.”
“Yes. What can I do for you?”
“Do you know where the work leader is?”
“Oh… Huh? Yoo-hyun Han?”
The female employee who answered his question suddenly looked surprised.
“Yes, that’s me.”
“Sis. Sis.”
As Yoo-hyun nodded, she quickly looked for someone she called sis.
A moment later,
A female employee wearing an ID card with Jo Yujung written on it came over quickly.
She looked at Yoo-hyun’s face and asked,
“Are you Yoo-hyun Han from Product Planning Team?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Wow. I thought it might be you when I saw your name, but it’s really you?”
She exclaimed as she saw him and other female employees jumped around.
“Wow. He’s handsome.”
“He’s much better than in the photo.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun looked bewildered by their sudden reaction.
They seemed to know him somehow.
Jo Yujung smiled and said,
“I’ve heard a lot about you. Heyran, bring me the chart.”
“Yes, sis.”
Yoo-hyun asked cautiously,
“What have you heard about me?”
“Well…”
“Really?”
“Yes. That’s what they said. Just a moment.”
She couldn’t believe what she heard.
She had a close relationship with Jomiran Jo from Marketing Team.
An unexpected connection worked in an unexpected place.
She took the work chart and said cheerfully,
“I’ll do it right away for you.”
“What? But it’s not time yet?”
“Hey, it’s okay. Guys, let’s work.”
“Yes, sis.”
At Jo Yujung’s words, the female employees moved swiftly.
It was an uncommon speed in the module factory.
Yoo-hyun realized then.
There were workers above the work leader.
These young-looking people were the real bosses in the work.
A short time later,
When Yoo-hyun arrived at the office, Jin-mok Lee asked him with a dumbfounded expression.
“Yoo-hyun, if you can’t do it, just call me, why did you come back? Then I have to make a new schedule.”
“I’m done.”
“What? You’re done?”
Jin-mok Lee ran out and opened the styrofoam box.
There were modules with FPCB bonding work done.
He picked up one module and looked at it with a stunned expression.
It was because the panel and FPCB were neatly attached.
“The, the yield?”
“I didn’t do the lighting test, but when I checked with a microscope, it was 100 percent.”
“What? 100 percent? How is that possible?”
He was surprised by his answer and Yoo-hyun asked innocently.
“Is that not possible?”
“Of course not…”
Jin-mok Lee swallowed his words.
The module work was all done by hand.
It was a work of attaching a small film with IC to a fine glass surface, so mistakes were inevitable.
Especially this panel was for pre-testing the ultra-high resolution panel.
The connection part was so fine that the success rate was lower.
Even if he caught a lot, it was 80 percent.
But 100 percent?
Jin-mok Lee couldn’t understand the situation at all.
Then, Kiyong Maeng came over and asked Jin-mok Lee.
“What’s wrong?”
“He said he finished the module work.”
“What? How did he do that?”
Yoo-hyun said casually to him who opened his eyes wide.
“They were all very kind and helpful.”
“Kind? Those grumpy module guys?”
“Yes. They were.”
At Yoo-hyun’s answer, Jin-mok Lee looked even more absurd.
He asked Kiyong Maeng next to him.
“Senior, does that make sense?”
“That’s impossible.”
Yoo-hyun greeted the two people who looked flustered.
“Then I’ll go in.”
“Uh, yeah.”
Lee Jin-mok, the team leader, blinked his eyes and raised his hand.
Even after Yoo-hyun left, Maeng Gi-yong, the senior engineer, and Lee Jin-mok, the team leader, stood still for a while.
They were still in front of the styrofoam box when Yoon Gi-chun, another senior engineer, came over and asked Maeng Gi-yong.
“Did you really finish all the module work?”
“Yes, I did. I checked it myself.”
“Ha. Maeng, how did this happen? What are we supposed to do now?”
Yoon Gi-chun tried to force him to admit his mistake, but Maeng Gi-yong said bluntly.
“It’s better to finish quickly.”
“That’s not the point, you idiot.”
“Hey, don’t be so upset about this.”
“What did you say?”
Maeng Gi-yong, who always kept his head down, showed some resistance and Yoon Gi-chun asked incredulously.
But Maeng Gi-yong calmly stood his ground.
“This is something to praise. You also assigned him the report work.”
“Yeah. But he said he would do it himself.”
“Still.”
“…”
Yoon Gi-chun closed his mouth at the sudden change of atmosphere.
His anger was directed at Yoo-hyun.
He turned his head and saw him.
Yoo-hyun was smiling brightly.
That bastard.
Yoon Gi-chun’s eyes glared fiercely.
At the daily report that day, Yoo-hyun didn’t say much.
But he felt the gazes of others from everywhere.
He put some energy into his presentation.
“The meeting with the client was…”
“Yeah. Let’s do that.”
The team leader didn’t just postpone everything.
He tried to make some decisions.
It was definitely a positive change.
When Yoo-hyun returned to his seat after the report, Maeng Gi-yong approached him and asked.
“Do you want to have a cup of tea?”
“Yes, sure.”
Yoo-hyun readily agreed.
He liked the senior who opened his heart and came closer.
There was a rooftop on the fourth floor of the Ulsan factory.
It was a place where you could walk up and there were a few benches and a small garden in the corner.
Vroom vroom vroom vroom.
The loud sound of the exhaust fan and the constant smoke from the factory contrasted with the scenery.
It wasn’t quiet, but it was peaceful because there weren’t many people looking for it.
Yoo-hyun and Maeng Gi-yong sat on an empty bench together.
Maeng Gi-yong fiddled with his paper cup and said.
“You should have had a decent coffee from the cafeteria.”
“No, I like vending machine coffee.”
“Really? That’s surprising.”
“In what way?”
“Well… just…”
When Yoo-hyun asked, he trailed off and drank his coffee.
Yoo-hyun followed him and looked at the distant landscape.
Unlike Hansung Tower, he could only see mountains.
“…”
The silence lasted for a while.
It was awkward, but Yoo-hyun waited patiently.
He didn’t want to rush in and shake him up.
Maybe he hadn’t opened up his heart yet as a human being. Maeng Gi-yong brought up work again.
It was exactly how Yoo-hyun remembered him from the past.
“But how are you going to do the report tomorrow? Are you okay?”
“Yes. I’ve already finished writing it.”
“Wow. That’s amazing. When did you do it?”
“I did it quickly thanks to your data.”
He answered with a smile at the surprised question.
Maeng Gi-yong widened his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Really? Mine?”
“I also combined data from other people. So I finished it quickly.”
“That’s really surprising.”
“Why?”
“I didn’t know you were open to other people’s opinions.”
Maeng Gi-yong muttered to himself as if he was talking to himself.
Yoo-hyun looked at him and said matter-of-factly.
“I can’t do everything by myself.”
“…”
He could draw the big picture by himself.
But it was impossible for him to find out everything in depth.
He was able to save time because he had already organized data as a basis.
And the rest was up to each person.
Maeng Gi-yong swallowed his pride and asked.
“Actually, I had some trouble with the IC part…”
“That part…”
Yoo-hyun answered quickly and Maeng Gi-yong asked with a surprised expression.
“You really care a lot about this, don’t you?”
“Yes. I really want to do this project.”
“…”
Maeng Gi-yong stared at Yoo-hyun for a long time and scratched the back of his head.
He didn’t say anything, but his face was full of embarrassment.
-I have a lot of shortcomings too. I’m trying not to fall behind.
Yoo-hyun remembered Maeng Gi-yong from the past in his appearance.
He was one of the most open-minded engineers.
He admitted his weaknesses and worked hard accordingly.
He had both skills and tolerance, so he was able to lead Kim Seon-dong, the team leader, and make the project a success.
He learned a lot from him.
After that, he exchanged a few words with Maeng Gi-yong, but they were all about work.
They weren’t close enough to get personal yet.
But it was important to break the ice like this.
His eyes became more friendly than before.
Yoo-hyun got up from his seat and greeted him first and reached out his hand.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Maeng senior.”
“Yeah. Me too.”
Squeeze.
Yoo-hyun held Maeng Gi-yong’s hand for the first time that day.
