Chapter 313
Chapter 313
When Yoo-hyun came to work after a relaxing weekend, the office was neatly organized.
At the entrance partition, there was a different nameplate than the previous one for the Advanced Product Team.
Ultra High Resolution TF
The Advanced Product Team was upgraded to Ultra High Resolution TF until the completion of the Apple Phone 4 project.
Accordingly, Kim Ho-geol, who was the team leader, became a director.
The parts also grew in size and formed temporary teams.
Circuit, Panel, Advanced.
In addition to the original Advanced Product Team, Circuit 3 Team, Panel 3 Team, Future Product Research Institute, and some CTO staff were added.
As Yoo-hyun was standing at the entrance, Go Seong-cheol, a senior researcher, approached him and said.
“Yoo-hyun, do you know where your seat is?”
“No. I was just thinking for a moment.”
“I’m also feeling nervous right now.”
Go Seong-cheol, who used to be the 2nd part leader, became the 1st part leader of the Panel Team.
His temporary part leader life continued.
He also had other researchers under him, so his shoulders must have been heavy.
“You’ll do well.”
“I don’t know. Our team leader from CTO seems very strict.”
Go Seong-cheol sighed softly.
Suddenly, Jeong In-wook, a senior researcher who came close, grabbed Yoo-hyun’s arm.
“Yoo-hyun, if you stay like this, he’ll think I didn’t take care of you.”
“Haha. Did you settle in well?”
“Yeah. Let’s sit down quickly before you see the person in charge.”
“Yes, team leader.”
Jeong In-wook became the Circuit Team Leader.
The 1st part leader was Maeng Gi-yong, a senior researcher, and the 2nd part leader was Choi Jin-gon, a senior researcher from the original 3rd team.
Yoo-hyun belonged to the 1st part of the Circuit Team under TF.
Jeong In-wook, who sat next to Yoo-hyun, explained more about the situation.
“And the advanced team…”
The 1st part of the Advanced Team was led by the staff from the Future Product Research Institute and reviewed OLED panels.
And the 2nd part reviewed the production of ultra-high resolution panels using existing LCD processes.
There was a lot to do with enough investment in the factory.
It was exactly what Yoo-hyun wanted to prepare for the future.
“That’s good.”
“Yeah. That’s why my shoulders are heavier.”
“Already acting like a team leader?”
“Of course. Do you know how many people I have under me?”
Jeong In-wook showed a confident expression.
He seemed to have a lot of pride in his position.
Yoo-hyun didn’t have to worry too much about him.
He congratulated him with his heart.
“That’s a good attitude.”
“You can rest now. I’m going to run the module work mainly with the people from the 3rd team that we got this time.”
“Yes. I have to rest if everyone tells me to.”
He said that, but he had no intention of resting.
Yoo-hyun wanted to set up a system that could run on its own even without him.
Jeong In-wook didn’t know what Yoo-hyun was thinking and said with a serious expression.
“Yeah. The person in charge said he would take care of you resting. That’s my first mission.”
“Haha. It’s a good company life in many ways.”
“Yeah. I envy you the most.”
“Do you want to switch?”
“No. I’d rather be a team leader than an employee.”
Jeong In-wook smiled and answered.
He pretended not to care, but he had a lot of pride in his expression.
Yoo-hyun greeted him again with his heart.
“I look forward to working with you, team leader.”
Time passed and the new year of 2009 came.
At the same time, good news came from everywhere.
Ulsan 1 Factory, Auditorium.
Yoo-hyun was sitting in the audience where a group event was taking place.
His eyes moved from Kim Ho-geol, who was standing on stage, to Park Jin-hoon, who was crouching below him.
He was holding flowers as the youngest member who came from the 3rd team.
Yoo-hyun chuckled and said.
“Jin-hoon should not be so obvious that he is going out with her.”
Jeong In-wook next to him replied.
“He has passion like no other.”
“That’s why I don’t have much to do.”
“Do you want me to tell Jin-hoon not to do it?”
“Haha. No, it’s not like that.”
Yoo-hyun smiled lightly when
The announcer’s voice rang out loud.
-The best organization award. Ultra High Resolution TF. This organization has shown the ability to overcome the existing limits based on…
Kim Ho-geol stood with a firm posture.
On the opposite side, Yeo Tae-sik, the vice president of the mobile group, smiled as he looked at the plaque.
-…January 25th, 2009, Mobile Group Vice President Yeo Tae-sik. Next, a plaque and a prize of 20 million won will be awarded.
As Kim Ho-geol received the plaque, applause sounded from everywhere.
Clap clap clap clap clap.
Park Jin-hoon quickly handed over the flowers.
Seeing that, Yoo-hyun suddenly remembered Park Seung-woo’s award ceremony.
‘The flowers were really big.’
He smiled at the funny memory.
Then, he heard a buzzing sound from behind.
“Ultra High Resolution TF is really lucky. How many times is this?”
“I know. They also got a lot of individual rewards.”
“The business director even takes care of them separately.”
Everyone was envious of this scene.
Maybe that’s why?
The team members who sat next to him shrugged their shoulders.
Kim Ho-geol grabbed the microphone.
In front of the senior team leaders, he didn’t lose his composure and opened his mouth.
-First of all, I would like to thank the TF members who made this great achievement possible. Actually, as a leader, my ability is…
Kim Ho-geol completely let go of himself.
He was a leader who realized the truth that he became stronger as he let go.
Yoo-hyun looked at him with a pleased expression when his name was suddenly called out of his mouth.
-And lastly, I would like to thank Han Yoo-hyun, who made the project possible with his strong passion.
Why does he do that?
He couldn’t get used to it no matter how many times he heard it.
The audience didn’t know Yoo-hyun’s feelings and clapped their hands.
Clap clap clap clap clap.
The people behind him also bowed their heads.
“Who is Han Yoo-hyun? Didn’t someone call his name last time when they got an award?”
“Yeah. He also thanked him when he got the best employee award.”
“What did he do to deserve that?”
“I heard from my colleague in charge 4 that he also got an individual reward this time.”
“An employee on secondment? He must have some connections.”
“I guess so. He must have picked the right line, really.”
As they muttered sarcastically, Kim Seon-dong, a senior researcher in front of him, turned his head sharply.
He clenched his teeth and glared at the man who was sneering.
“Don’t say that if you don’t know anything.”
“Huh? What do you mean…”
“Yoo-hyun should have gotten a bigger award. He did that well.”
The man was startled by the sudden attack and looked around.
The people in front of him all turned their heads and glared at him.
He felt like he had committed a mortal sin and bowed his head involuntarily.
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
Kim Seon-dong turned his head and looked at Yoo-hyun.
As Yoo-hyun lowered his head, he nodded with a stiff face.
He looked as if he was saying, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.
Jeong In-wook, who was watching him, chuckled.
“Yoo-hyun, you’re really lucky. You have so many bodyguards.”
“Yes… I guess so…”
He felt more embarrassed than grateful.
This was definitely an overreaction by Kim Seon-dong, the team leader.
He wanted to tell him to stop doing this.
But why did he keep smiling?
Yoo-hyun managed to control his expression and looked up.
The screen on the podium still had some words on it.
Best Organization Award: Ultra High Resolution TF
It was a notification of Yoo-hyun’s performance during his dispatch.
He burst into laughter.
Time passed a little more.
Things were going exactly as Yoo-hyun wanted.
People got rewarded for their work and worked harder with a good mood.
The organization moved forward on its own as a positive cycle was established.
There was no trace of the defeatist attitude that used to show up occasionally.
This was enough.
But what the hell?
-2009 First Half Hansung Group R&D Award: Han Yoo-hyun
Yoo-hyun was dumbfounded when he checked his email.
It was obvious that someone from above was pushing him.
They clearly wanted to promote him without any objection.
“Crazy…”
A coarse word came out of Yoo-hyun’s mouth.
Why?
Because he would inevitably catch the eye of the group strategy office.
That’s why.
At that moment.
Song Hyun-seung, the executive director of the group strategy office, faced Kwon Sung-hae, the director.
He had a copy of the latest Hansung Electronics newsletter in his hand.
He looked at the interview with Yoo-hyun and a deep wrinkle formed next to his big eyes.
He looked very friendly because of his thick eyelids.
“Haha. He says he has no intention of moving to another organization no matter what offer he gets…”
“Yes. He didn’t budge when I talked to him last time. He was quite arrogant.”
Kwon Sung-hae nodded at Song Hyun-seung’s words.
“He deserves it. The group leader is taking care of him so well, he has no reason to come to us.”
“I thought it was strange that he refused so confidently.”
“That’s why I told you to give him a penalty. But Vice President Yeo gave him an award instead. What should we do?”
“We have to make him pay.”
Kwon Sung-hae lowered his voice and Song Hyun-seung snapped his fingers and said,
“Bingo. We have to show those LCD business guys how scary the group strategy office is. Huhu.”
One corner of Song Hyun-seung’s mouth curled up.
The next day.
At the group leader’s office in Ulsan 1st factory.
Yoo-hyun spoke to Yeo Tae-sik, the vice president who came down to Ulsan factory.
“Group leader, thank you for your consideration, but you didn’t have to do this much.”
“No, you and Kim Young-gil deserved it. It wasn’t my opinion, it was the common opinion of Vice President Shin and Director Kim.”
“I wish you had given me a different award then.”
“Why should I? I believe that personnel should be fair.”
Yeo Tae-sik didn’t show any regret despite Yoo-hyun’s words.
He could see that the situation would turn bad.
Yoo-hyun spoke bluntly.
“Group strategy office won’t stay still. Or maybe they already contacted you.”
“Yes. You’re right. But that doesn’t mean I have to back down. What’s the point of being a leader who can’t protect one subordinate?”
He appreciated his thoughtfulness, but he regretted his emotional response.
It didn’t match his usual calm style.
“Didn’t I tell you I’m fine? I can handle a little rain. I have nothing to lose.”
“No. I’m not fine. Do you know why I’m trying to push Vice President Shin as a leader?”
“Yes. I heard it last time.”
“Right. I believe that if Vice President Shin becomes a leader, he will create a fair company culture that I want.”
Did he recall the time when he was pushed aside by Han Kyung-hoe and his ability was not recognized?
Or did he recall the time when he met Vice President Shin and set a new goal?
His eyes sparkled behind his thin silver glasses.
Yoo-hyun nodded at his words for now.
“I agree with you on that part.”
“Then why do I have to accept such unreasonable demands?”
“You said you value results over processes.”
“I know. But that doesn’t mean I want to destroy my values. I don’t want to go to my destination like that.”
Yoo-hyun was surprised to see Yeo Tae-sik’s burning look.
He saw the strong ideal that was hidden behind him.
