Chapter 337
Meanwhile, Yoo-hyun met with Vice President Yeo Tae-sik.
Inside the office of the mobile group leader on the 14th floor.
Vice President Yeo Tae-sik, who offered tea to Yoo-hyun, did not look very happy.
After a brief silence, he opened his closed mouth.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t protect you.”
“Didn’t I say I would go? It’s not something you should feel sorry about, group leader.”
“You didn’t have to sacrifice yourself.”
It was obvious that the group strategy office would stop tackling him if Yoo-hyun left from here.
It was a wise choice for the future.
But the fact that he had to sacrifice the small for the big, and that it had to be done by personal sacrifice, touched Vice President Yeo Tae-sik’s values.
Still, Yoo-hyun said with a very light expression.
“It’s not a sacrifice. I’m actually happy. Thanks to this, I can rest well.”
“It won’t be easy. No one has lasted long at the Yeontae branch.”
“You said it was a condition for coming back.”
“Of course. And of course, Vice President Shin Kyung-wook will pull you up faster when he comes.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
Yoo-hyun asked casually, and Vice President Yeo Tae-sik lost his words.
“…”
“Just relax. I’ll be having fun.”
Yoo-hyun was sincere, but Vice President Yeo Tae-sik did not think so.
“Do you need anything?”
“What do I need to go to another place? I just need to keep my body healthy.”
As always, Yoo-hyun looked at the world with a much bigger heart than himself.
Vice President Yeo Tae-sik felt infinitely small and worried.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked as he thought of something.
“Hmm… Ah, do you have a car?”
“No. I don’t.”
“I see. The transportation there is not good, so you’ll need a car. I’ll provide you with a company car.”
“That’s okay. I don’t have any reason to accept it.”
Yoo-hyun refused once, but Vice President Yeo Tae-sik was determined.
His eyes conveyed his strong will to give him this at least.
“No. There’s a spare car for business trips. You’re going to support our business unit with your staff, so it’s only right that we also provide you with a car.”
“Thank you. I was going to get a car anyway, so you saved me some trouble.”
It wasn’t just a casual remark.
He was actually looking for a car based on the information that Jang Jun-sik had researched for him.
It was just a matter of fact, but Vice President Yeo Tae-sik looked pleased.
“I’m glad this can help you. And the group will also support you. Don’t you need more money?”
“This is really generous for being sidelined.”
Yoo-hyun said cheerfully, and Vice President Yeo Tae-sik waved his hand.
His butt was shaking too, which didn’t match his calm demeanor.
“Sidelined? Don’t say such nonsense.”
“Haha. Thank you for your words.”
Yoo-hyun greeted him with a good mood.
Vice President Yeo Tae-sik conveyed his will to him.
“I’m grateful. I’ll do my best as much as you trust me.”
“Don’t worry too much. What will be will be anyway.”
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly.
The next afternoon.
Squeak.
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min and Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee came out of the mobile group leader’s office on the 14th floor.
Vice President Yeo Tae-sik and Senior Manager Jo Chan-young were still talking inside.
The two walked silently down the hallway.
The first one to open his mouth was Team Leader Kim Hyun-min.
“Why is Yoo-hyun so unlucky in his company life?”
“…”
“I mean, that’s one thing, but the personnel team is too much. Why didn’t they tell us until it was right in front of us?”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min muttered to himself while Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee walked silently.
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min spoke to Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee.
“Deputy Manager Choi, I’m angry too. But the group leader said he would take care of him so much. It can’t be bad.”
“Do you know what kind of place Yeontae branch is, team leader?”
Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee stopped walking and looked at Team Leader Kim Hyun-min with a sharp gaze.
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min said with an aggrieved expression.
“Why are you doing this to me? I don’t like sending Han Daeri away either. But there’s no way.”
“Sigh.”
“Don’t worry too much. Yoo-hyun is the kind of guy who can have fun and still have some left over there.”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min tried to comfort the very agitated Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee.
But his voice did not reach her ears.
“I should have looked into it when Han Daeri said he would raise Junsik.”
She closed her eyes tightly, recalling the strange memory of the past.
She didn’t feel very comfortable.
At that moment.
Jang Jun-sik was standing in front of Yoo-hyun with a nervous expression.
He looked like a college student waiting for his grades.
Yoo-hyun looked at him with a very serious expression.
Gulp.
Jang Jun-sik swallowed his saliva and Yoo-hyun said to him.
“This report is 90 points.”
“Is that, really?”
“Yes. You can go now.”
Yoo-hyun nodded his head and Jang Jun-sik bowed his waist with joy.
“Thank you. Thank you.”
He looked like he had everything in the world.
“Enough. Print this and distribute it to the part-timers. The other seniors will like it too.”
“Yes. I got it.”
Jang Jun-sik moved quickly as he heard Yoo-hyun’s words.
Yoo-hyun smiled as he watched him.
“What’s so good about that?”
Jang Jun-sik hummed a tune as he reached the printer in the middle of the hallway.
He didn’t know that working and being recognized was such a good thing.
He was very grateful to the team members who accepted him as he was.
As he was thinking about that, the cleaning lady passed by him.
Jang Jun-sik greeted her loudly.
“Hello.”
“Oh my. Junsik, thank you for greeting me again.”
“Of course, I have to. Thank you always.”
The cleaning lady smiled at Jang Jun-sik’s greeting.
Jang Jun-sik had changed since he decided to emulate everything about Yoo-hyun.
He followed every action of his senior, observing him closely.
Then, the scenery around him changed.
He felt like he was learning the joy of getting along with people.
Thanks to that, he wanted to come to work every day.
Chiiing.
Jang Jun-sik smiled as he looked at the printed materials.
“The seniors will really like this, right?”
He was having a pleasant imagination when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
“Director Han must have trained Jun-sik knowing that he would be transferred soon. It’s obvious that he prepared in advance.”
He even heard his own name, so he turned his head and saw Deputy Director Choi Min-hee and Team Leader Kim Hyun-min.
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min stopped Deputy Director Choi Min-hee, who was walking, and said.
“So what? What’s wrong with that?”
“Team Leader, aren’t you sorry? A team member who just came back from Ulsan dispatch is stepping up for the team.”
“I’m sorry too. I’m so sorry that I could die. So what do you want me to do? Go to that backwater instead?”
“Yes. I wish you did.”
Jang Jun-sik, who was watching the two bickering, felt a thunderbolt strike his head.
Thud.
He dropped the paper he was holding and staggered.
He stood in front of the two and asked with a trembling voice.
“D-Deputy Director, what did you just say?”
At that moment, Deputy Director Choi Min-hee and Team Leader Kim Hyun-min turned around at the same time.
“…”
The two faces were full of embarrassment as they looked at each other.
A few days later.
Yoo-hyun was sitting in the driver’s seat of a fairly luxurious medium-sized sedan.
Vroom.
The car engine sound was very quiet, but the people in the car were not.
In the noisy atmosphere, Team Leader Kim Hyun-min, who was sitting in the passenger seat, exclaimed.
“Wow, executive cars are really nice.”
“Isn’t this the first time a deputy-level gets an executive car?”
Deputy Lee Chan Ho, who was sitting in the back seat, intervened, and Deputy Kim Young-gil, who was on the right side, poked his side.
“If you’re jealous, you can go to transfer.”
“I’m just saying.”
Deputy Lee Chan Ho said with a flinch, and Deputy Hwang Dong-sik, who was on his left side, pulled his butt to the center and said.
“Deputy Lee, you said it was tempting earlier.”
“It is tempting, but I don’t think they’ll take care of me like this.”
While a playful atmosphere continued, Deputy Director Choi Min-hee, who was sitting in the left corner of the back seat, silently looked out the window.
-Deputy Director, come and have fun. It’s near the sea.
She recalled Yoo-hyun’s innocent smile.
Yoo-hyun was always like that.
He smiled even in difficult situations.
The mood of the part members was cheerful thanks to him.
“I don’t know who’s the leader anymore.”
She muttered to herself and soothed her bitter heart.
Then, Yoo-hyun, who was holding the steering wheel, asked casually.
“But why did Jun-sik skip this? He said he really wanted to test drive.”
“There’s no room for Jun-sik anyway.”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min answered his question.
“That doesn’t mean he should skip it.”
“True. That gum stuck to you wouldn’t leave you. But where did he really go?”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min turned his head and asked. Deputy Lee Chan Ho answered.
“He said he went to the restaurant first. He said he had a lot to prepare.”
“What’s there to prepare for going to a pig feet restaurant?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know either.”
Deputy Lee Chan Ho shook his head. Team Leader Kim Hyun-min asked him.
“But whose idea was it to hold a ritual at a pig feet restaurant?”
“It was Jun-sik’s.”
“Man, that inflexible guy is holding a ritual because his senior got a car.”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min chuckled. Deputy Kim Young-gil joined in.
“This is the first time we’re holding a ritual since you bought your car.”
“Puhaha. I remember. Back then, we put pig feet bones on your car and sprayed makgeolli on your tires.”
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min laughed as he recalled the past. Deputy Hwang Dong-sik said.
“Didn’t you have a car accident after that?”
“Oh. That’s right. I think it was a useless thing to do now.”
Deputy Kim Young-gil nodded. Team Leader Kim Hyun-min waved his hand.
“Hey, it’s because of the ritual that I only had a minor accident.”
“Hahaha.”
The conversation atmosphere was light with the old ritual story.
While laughing together, Yoo-hyun suddenly blurted out his thought.
“But how did Jun-sik know about holding a ritual at a pig feet restaurant?”
“I don’t know. Maybe he heard it somewhere?”
Deputy Lee Chan Ho answered. Question marks popped up in everyone’s heads.
No matter how they thought about it, there was no one who would tell Jun-sik such a thing.
A little later.
While Yoo-hyun parked the car, the part members arrived at the restaurant first.
But their expressions were strange.
They all opened their mouths as if they had made a promise.
It was because a large pig head was placed in the center of the plastic table in front of the restaurant.
Not only that, but there were also rice cakes and fruits on the plates.
It was clearly a real ritual table.
“…”
The speechless people were greeted by the restaurant owner.
He had seen them a few times before, so he knew their faces roughly.
“Oh, Team Leader, you’re here.”
“Ah, yes. But this is…”
Even Team Leader Kim Hyun-min, who was famous for his big mouth, trailed off.
The restaurant owner also smiled with curiosity as he glanced at the ritual table.
“Haha. He said he was going to hold a ritual, so I thought he would just imitate it with pig feet bones, but I didn’t know he would bring a pig head too. Oh, there he is.”
Then, the restaurant owner pointed to Jang Jun-sik, who appeared.
“He prepared all this. All I did was give him a seat.”
“Ah, yes…”
While the people were quickly scanning the atmosphere, Yoo-hyun approached them.
“What are you doing here?”
“Look over there.”
Deputy Kim Young-gil gestured to him. Yoo-hyun turned his head and saw Jang Jun-sik sticking incense in front of the ritual table with a pig head.
A curse came out of Yoo-hyun’s mouth.
“Damn it, crazy.”
