Chapter 230
His hands, resting on Moeun’s lap, twitched slightly.
Yoo-hyun moved closer to him.
He wanted him to know his true self.
“You came up with the idea for the new ultra-high-resolution panel, didn’t you, Mr. Kim?”
“…”
“And I know that the patent that Mr. Yoon wrote a while ago was actually yours.”
“That’s…”
“You also wrote a paper for him before, right?”
“…”
Mr. Kim Seon-dong’s eyes trembled at Yoo-hyun’s words.
Yoo-hyun continued to speak quietly.
He wasn’t just spouting words, he was making a solid point.
“So I think you’re really amazing.”
“…”
“But you can’t keep running away.”
“What, what do you know?”
Yoo-hyun turned his head and looked at him, who was fuming.
His small eyes were shaking violently.
Yoo-hyun spat out the word that was stuck in his chest.
“Is it because of the equipment approval?”
“H-how did you…”
“I don’t know the exact details. But there’s one thing I’m sure of.”
“…”
Mr. Kim Seon-dong fell silent.
Yoo-hyun confirmed that his guess was right by looking at his reaction.
Then there was only one way.
He didn’t know how big the problem would get, but he had to confess honestly.
If he turned a blind eye here, it would eventually explode bigger someday.
Then it would be irreversible.
It was the conclusion that Yoo-hyun had drawn from seeing countless cases.
“If you avoid it, it will only make things worse.”
“No… no.”
Mr. Kim Seon-dong grabbed his head with both hands, as if in pain.
He knew that there was a problem with the approval he had signed.
Whether it was because of Mr. Yoon Gi-chun’s coercion or not, he was the person in charge.
Mr. Kim Seon-dong was afraid of being harmed by this matter.
Yoo-hyun looked him in the eye and said.
“I’ll help you. You know I’m a doer, right?”
“…”
“But if you keep running away, I can’t do anything.”
Yoo-hyun spoke more bluntly, and Mr. Kim Seon-dong clenched his fists.
He looked like his pride was hurt.
He opened his trembling lips and muttered.
Yoo-hyun didn’t back down.
“You’re so great…”
“Yes. I’m better than someone who runs away.”
“What?”
“Much better.”
“…”
“The choice is yours.”
Yoo-hyun couldn’t do everything for him here.
Even if he did, Mr. Kim Seon-dong, who had been turned off, wouldn’t come back to life.
He had to break out of his shell and spread his wings on his own.
Yoo-hyun hoped that Mr. Kim Seon-dong would stand up.
“…”
The silence lasted for a while.
That day, Yoo-hyun didn’t get an answer from Mr. Kim Seon-dong.
Regardless of Mr. Kim Seon-dong’s decision, Yoo-hyun moved separately.
Even if he made up his mind, it wouldn’t solve the problem.
Yoo-hyun looked over the equipment purchase statement on the monitor again.
The person who led the purchase of this equipment was Mr. Yoon Gi-chun.
But his name wasn’t on any of the documents.
The same went for Mr. Hong Hyuk-soo.
Mr. Kim Seon-dong was the person in charge, but the approver was the team leader.
What if there was a problem with the equipment?
The two of them could easily get out of it.
What did they gain from this?
It seemed that they had colluded with the company and put in equipment that didn’t match the price beforehand.
It meant that they had bought equipment with extra money on top of it.
Since it was equipment worth hundreds of millions of won, they must have made a lot of money from it.
But.
According to the statement, the price measured by the purchasing team wasn’t wrong either.
There was no big problem with the documents either.
Then how did it happen?
It was when Yoo-hyun was thinking about it.
There was another loud voice from Mr. Hong Hyuk-soo in Part 2 (the second department).
This time, his target was Mr. Kim Ho-geol, the senior engineer and team leader (the head of Part 1).
“Team leader, I know it’s your order, but this is too much, isn’t it?”
“Hong chief (the head of Part 2), that’s…”
“We’re staying up all night to measure this part.”
“I know, I know. But don’t we have to get the data?”
“Then you should kick the bastard who set the schedule like this.”
Mr. Hong Hyuk-soo vented his anger at Mr. Kim Ho-geol.
Then he glared at Yoo-hyun with a sharp look.
But Yoo-hyun’s seat was empty.
It was when he turned his head to look for Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun, who was right behind him, stepped forward.
“Then I’ll do the measurement.”
“What?”
Ignoring Mr. Hong Hyuk-soo, who was surprised, Yoo-hyun spoke to Mr. Kim Ho-geol.
“Team leader, I set the unreasonable schedule, so I’ll take responsibility.”
“Measurement is not an easy thing to do.”
“No, it’s not. I’ve done it before when I was working on the color phone.”
“No, wait a minute.”
Mr. Hong Hyuk-soo tried to say something in confusion.
Yoo-hyun bowed deeply and showed his determination.
“I’m sorry for causing trouble. I’ll take responsibility and do it.”
“…”
“I’m sorry to the people in Part 2 as well. Please go home and rest today.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun greeted them loudly, and the people around him stirred.
They all looked at Yoo-hyun with surprise.
Only two people.
Mr. Hong Hyuk-soo and Mr. Yoon Gi-chun.
Their faces twisted.
Yoo-hyun was helped by Ms. Jung Ah-reum, the chief of Part 2, to measure the panel.
She explained to Yoo-hyun in the panel measurement room, wearing a neat outfit.
She pointed to a button on the equipment connected to the panel.
“This button changes the brightness and color of the panel automatically.”
“Do I have to press it every time?”
“There is an automatic button, but it’s not easy to measure with a photometer (a device that measures brightness). So we just do it manually.”
Yoo-hyun asked and she answered kindly.
She seemed to be careful around him because he knew that she was dating Mr. Maeng Gi-yong.
Yoo-hyun listened to her explanation and asked questions.
“I think there was an automatic program in the analysis room?”
“We use that too, but there are many cases where it doesn’t match well. So we just do it ourselves.”
“I see.”
“Yes. We have to measure every hour and draw a cumulative trend, but if we get it wrong, everything will be ruined.”
“That’s true.”
Yoo-hyun nodded, but he didn’t agree.
This unnecessary analog method had burdened Part 2’s work.
It was because of the nature of the development team, who didn’t want to deviate much from the old way of working.
It was hard to adapt to the new system, and maintaining it was also a hassle.
Besides, if something went wrong, they had to do it again, so they didn’t want to change it either.
But he had to fix what needed to be fixed.
Ms. Jung Ah-reum continued her explanation.
“And this is…”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“I’m not sure if you understood.”
She asked with a worried expression when Yoo-hyun nodded.
She felt sorry for passing on the work, so Yoo-hyun said confidently.
“I understood. I think I can do it by myself.”
“I don’t feel comfortable, actually.”
“You don’t have to. It’s my fault for setting the wrong schedule.”
“…”
Ms. Jung Ah-reum looked like she had something to say.
It wasn’t a negative feeling towards Yoo-hyun.
She opened her mouth and then changed her mind.
“Okay. Then please contact me if you need anything.”
“Yes. I’ll fill everything up without any problem.”
“Yes. Take care.”
That was the end of the conversation.
After she left, Yoo-hyun called his colleague Ye Jin-ho from the panel analysis team.
“Hey, I’m going to do what I told you earlier, can you come to our measurement room?”
-I didn’t know you were going on a business trip.
“I’ll buy you a drink.”
-Deal.
As always, colleagues were the best at times like this.
A few minutes later, Ye Jin-ho came to the measurement room and installed the automatic measurement program for him.
He was an expert, so he quickly adjusted the program to fit the new environment.
He finished the test and said.
“You can also control the timing precisely, so you can measure according to the equipment.”
“Thanks, bro.”
“No problem. I’m just sharing what I have.”
Seeing him smile brightly, Yoo-hyun asked casually.
“Bro, you know the panel control equipment, right?”
“Yeah. Why?”
“They say it breaks down a lot. Have you ever used this company’s product?”
“Hold on.”
Ye Jin-ho touched the equipment behind the panel.
It was a huge device that was as tall as a person and as wide as two arms stretched out.
He tilted his head and said.
“Actually, we only turn on the modular panel, so we don’t use the panel equipment. But…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, I just wondered if Inter Precision made panel measurement devices too.”
“So?”
Yoo-hyun asked and Ye Jin-ho told him about Inter Precision.
“Actually, this company had their module equipment rejected by the analysis room before.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. And…”
Yoo-hyun listened to his story and nodded.
It wasn’t very helpful, but it helped him sort things out.
He had received a lot of help from him, so Yoo-hyun thanked him sincerely.
“Thanks, bro.”
“Don’t mention it. Just keep your promise for drinks.”
“I’ll keep that promise even if I have a knife in my throat.”
“Kid. Okay. I’m going.”
“Yes. If there’s any problem, I’ll contact you again. Please answer.”
Yoo-hyun said jokingly, and Ye Jin-ho waved his hand with a wry smile.
After sending Ye Jin-ho away, Yoo-hyun checked the equipment.
He especially verified the serial number and product name carefully.
He had brought out the equipment purchase statement, so the comparison was clear.
And shortly after, Yoo-hyun found something wrong.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Is that so?”
At the same time, his hand moved quickly.
He still intended to do his assigned task properly.
He even installed an additional device to make sure he did his task well.
Yoo-hyun checked that the automatic program was running well and got up from his seat.
He didn’t need to stay up all night when he was ready.
At that time.
There was someone who was secretly watching the situation in front of the measurement room.
It was Mr. Yoon Gi-chun.
He muttered anxiously in his heart.
“Are you really going to stay up all night? What’s going on?”
He checked his watch and it was already past dinner time.
It was time to leave, but Yoo-hyun wasn’t coming out for some reason.
Then it happened.
Yoo-hyun opened the door and came out as expected.
He looked like he was going home with his bag in his hand.
Mr. Yoon Gi-chun clenched his teeth and entered the measurement room where Yoo-hyun had left.
Fortunately, there was no sign of him tampering with the equipment.
Well, even if he looked at the equipment, he wouldn’t be able to find anything wrong.
He sighed lightly and looked around.
Then he saw a laptop connected to the panel measurement device.
It looked like he had used an automatic program.
“What a sneaky bastard. I knew he would do this.”
He snorted and picked up his phone to call the part leader.
He had something to confirm.
His appearance was captured by the measurement camera that Yoo-hyun had installed in the corner.
