Chapter 285
Chapter 285
As Yoo-hyun was thinking for a moment, Team Leader Lee Jin-mok approached him and asked.
“Yoo-hyun, let’s go work on the module.”
“Are we going already?”
“Already? We’re late.”
Yoo-hyun got up from his seat and said in a good-natured tone.
“They say the best time to do something is when you think it’s too late.”
“No, it’s just that the module work is so backed up right now… Ah!”
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok, who was speaking anxiously, paused for a moment.
“What?”
At Yoo-hyun’s question, he gave a meaningful smile.
“No, nothing. I was just worrying about something unnecessary.”
“What do you mean?”
“Never mind, VIP of module work. Let’s go quickly. I’ll pull the cart for you.”
He then pulled the folding cart that contained the module boxes and walked ahead briskly.
“I’ll do it.”
Yoo-hyun followed him quickly.
But he couldn’t stop Team Leader Lee Jin-mok’s strong will to take the lead.
Thanks to that, his hands were free.
The module work, which he had done once before, was finished faster than last time.
It was when Team Leader Lee Jin-mok was admiring it.
“Wow.”
Cho Yujung, who had led the work at a fast pace, came over and greeted Yoo-hyun.
But her greeting was not about the work.
“Yoo-hyun, your side dishes are low in calories and really delicious.”
“Thank you. I hope I’m not burdening you too much.”
“Of course not. It was exactly my style.”
As Cho Yujung finished speaking, the other female employees who had helped with the module work also chimed in.
“Really. I even ordered two more jars.”
“My dad really liked it.”
“I’ll use it often. I also left a review.”
He felt embarrassed, but gratitude came first.
Yoo-hyun smiled and handed them some chocolates.
“And have some of these too.”
“Oh my! What are these chocolates?”
Cho Yujung brightened up, and the other female employees also liked them.
“You even wrapped them up.”
“Oh, Yoo-hyun’s handwriting is so pretty.”
The words that came back were nice, so the words that went out were also nice.
“I feel like I’m always getting help from you. Thank you.”
“Thank you? We’re the ones who should be grateful.”
Cho Yujung returned the words again.
They exchanged words and created a very harmonious atmosphere.
It was something that could never happen in the harsh module factory.
“…”
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok had experienced it before, but he still couldn’t get used to it.
On the way back after finishing the work, he asked.
“Hey, isn’t this a bit too much?”
“Why?”
“No, everyone is only…”
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok stopped talking and choked up.
When Yoo-hyun looked at him, he shook his head vigorously.
There was no point in saying anything when there was no answer to be gained.
He gave up and changed the subject.
“No. But there are a lot of people who buy your side dishes.”
“I didn’t know it would spread to the module factory either.”
“Maybe it’s because there are always posts on the company promotion board.”
“I guess so. It’s a good thing.”
Yoo-hyun recalled the posts that had been posted on the board.
The small ball that Maeng Gi-yong Senior had thrown up was the starting point.
That post had a lot of comments and an overwhelming number of views compared to other posts.
Later, voluntary reviews also appeared on the board.
Thanks to that, the number of orders kept increasing.
“You must have gotten a lot of orders from just the company. Right?”
“Yes. Most of them seem to be company people.”
“There are so many people in our company… You must have a lot of volume.”
“That’s why I hired one part-timer.”
It was probably a short-term spike in volume, but he needed a part-timer.
His mother had too much work right now.
His mother seemed to like having a part-timer once she tried it.
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok nodded his head at Yoo-hyun’s words.
“You did well. I hope you prosper more in the future.”
“I will. You also ordered a lot, Team Leader.”
“I did, umm, just tried it out.”
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok coughed awkwardly and walked away.
Rattle rattle rattle.
The wheels of the folding cart scraped against the bumpy hallway floor.
Yoo-hyun ran after him and said.
“Team Leader, please give it to me. I’ll pull it now.”
“No. I feel like I have to do this at least to feel comfortable.”
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok lowered his head and went ahead quickly.
His eyes were full of determination to pull the cart.
Yoo-hyun looked at his back with a bewildered expression.
Ring ring.
He got one text message.
He took out his phone and checked it. It was a message from the gym manager.
-Yoo-hyun, your diet side dishes are perfect. So I ordered 100 jars.
He was naturally grateful.
But apart from that, a hollow laugh escaped from Yoo-hyun’s mouth.
“I wonder if there’s any point in dieting if you eat 100 jars.”
At that moment, in front of Yoo-hyun’s mother Kim Yeonhee’s side dish shop, boxes were piled up like a mountain.
The new part-timer Ahn So-ra was sweating as she packed the boxes.
She sighed as she stacked the packed boxes.
“Where on earth is this gym that ordered 100 jars?”
Apart from the gym, the orders were still piling up.
She repeated the work of moving and stacking boxes endlessly.
As she did so, several hours passed by.
She was about to make a fuss.
“Boss, I feel like I came here to do a delivery loading and unloading part-time job.”
“I’m sorry, Sora.”
Kim Yeonhee, who was next to her, made an apologetic expression. Ahn So-ra shook her head.
“I’m just joking. You have more work to do, Boss.”
“No. You worked hard, Sora. I’ll pay you more for your daily wage.”
As soon as Kim Yeonhee mentioned the daily wage, Ahn So-ra rolled up her sleeves and sparkled her eyes.
“That’s what I should do. Just leave it to me!”
Meanwhile, the module work was successful.
The quality of the improved panel was better than before.
Go Seongcheol Senior, the leader of Part 2, who was touching the module, said.
“Yoo-hyun, look at this from the side. How is it?”
“It looks good?”
“Right? The SLC (Spin Liquid Crystal) method has a good viewing angle. Now I can see the difference clearly.”
At Go Seongcheol Senior’s words, the others also turned their heads to see.
Compared to the Apple phone panel next to it, it looked much better.
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok, who was watching it, suddenly opened his mouth.
“That’s true. But then, wouldn’t it be visible to the people sitting next to you too?”
“It’s good if you can see well, right? More people can see it.”
At Maeng Gi-yong Senior’s words, Team Leader Lee Jin-mok looked puzzled.
“Do you need that for a phone?”
Chapter 285
Yoo-hyun gave him an answer.
“With a super-high-resolution panel, media consumption will increase.”
“But it’s just a phone. The screen isn’t that big either.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s convenient to watch. There’s no other media device that has 3G communication.”
“Is that so?”
Maybe it was because it was a future that hadn’t arrived yet, but Team Leader Lee Jin-mok tilted his head in doubt.
It was understandable, since the SLC (Spin Liquid Crystal) method of coating the liquid crystal increased the production cost relatively.
On the other hand, it had the advantage of having a good viewing angle, so it was mainly used for expensive TV panels.
It was the first time to apply it to mobile devices.
From an engineer’s point of view, it seemed unnecessary to do this.
Go Seongcheol Senior, who was next to him, said.
“Team Leader has a point, but we had no choice.”
“Because of the defect rate?”
“Yeah. With the existing method of coating the liquid crystal, we couldn’t get a good yield from the super-high-resolution panel.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok agreed and Go Seongcheol Senior smiled at Yoo-hyun.
“Well, Yoo-hyun will sell the light well.”
“Light sellers are the best in Go-Stop. Just leave it to me.”
Yoo-hyun said confidently.
He had a reason to say that.
The SLC method, which was specialized for Hansung LCD TV, would be the killing point of the super-high-resolution panel.
In the past, he had caught a mouse by backing up a cow, but this time he aimed for it from the start.
Thanks to that, he was able to advance the timing and improve the quality.
The work was going in a direction that couldn’t fail.
Yoo-hyun returned to his seat and brought up the overall schedule on his monitor.
The tasks that each department had to do according to the product review schedule were listed in detail.
It wasn’t just the Pre-Production Team that was struggling.
The Sales and Marketing Department also staked their lives on this product review.
Thanks to that, the countless schedules that were spread out in all directions were carried out without any problems.
However, there was something that bothered Yoo-hyun in his mind.
Ring ring.
Yoo-hyun’s phone on his desk rang.
The caller was Kang Chang-seok, his fellow trainee from his new employee training.
It was an expected call, so Yoo-hyun answered it happily.
“Chang-seok hyung.”
-Hey, long time no see. How have you been?
“I’ve been good. Did you get home well back then?”
-What do you think? How much did Seul-gi make me drink…
Kang Chang-seok rambled on about what happened at the trainee gathering.
Most of it was complaints about the two tough female trainees.
Then he casually brought up the main point.
-Yoo-hyun, I need your help with something.
“Our panel roadmap data?”
-Yeah, how did you know?
It was something that the Development Center Director himself tried to take care of until the panel level.
It was easy to predict that the Pre-Production Team, which had a pre-production nature among the subordinate teams, would take on that task.
Usually, these kinds of chores were passed on to the youngest ones.
That was exactly Kang Chang-seok’s situation.
He couldn’t say it as it was, so Yoo-hyun vaguely made up a reason.
“Just because. You don’t seem like someone who would ask me for anything else.”
-I don’t know anything but work anyway.
Kang Chang-seok boasted his usual bluff and Yoo-hyun played along.
“That’s right. You’re doing great.”
-Thanks for recognizing me. The reason why I want to use it is…
Kang Chang-seok explained his reason at length.
He felt like he had thought a lot before calling him.
Yoo-hyun readily agreed to his request.
“I can give it to you. It’s already been sent to the Mobile Phone Business Division anyway.”
-Thank you. I’ll really buy you a meal.
“Okay. I’ll look forward to it.”
Yoo-hyun hung up the phone happily.
He had been worried about the movements within the Development Center anyway.
He could use this data as a contact point to look into their situation.
Kang Chang-seok called him several times to ask him various things about the data.
-Originally, the super-high-resolution panel…
“That’s not what you got from the Mobile Phone Business Division…”
Yoo-hyun answered kindly.
And every time he did so, he heard about the team’s internal situation through Kang Chang-seok.
-I have a report scheduled with the Team Leader.
“Are you also uploading our roadmap data?”
-Just as a reference. He asked me at first, but now he seems less interested.
“I see. Good luck with your report.”
-There’s nothing to do well or not with this report. Anyway, thanks for your help.
“You’re welcome. Contact me again if you need anything.”
He could tell Kang Chang-seok’s situation from just a few words.
There was nothing problematic so far.
The interest that had sparkled was also fading.
But he couldn’t relax.
The Development Center Director had stepped in, but it was too quiet.
He felt a strange feeling that tickled Yoo-hyun’s intuition.
Yoo-hyun muttered to himself after hanging up the phone.
“Let’s just watch a little more.”
