Chapter 344
Kim Ok-kyung, a deputy with a band on his shoulder, approached him and extended both hands with a gentle smile.
Next to him was Yoo-hyun, who was led by him.
“Wow, are you the village head?”
“Is that so?”
“Haha. I’m Kim Ok-kyung, a deputy from Hansung Electronics. We’re here to run a love food truck in the village today. Is that okay with you?”
“Huh? Love what?”
The village head stepped back and tried to pull out his hand.
Kim Ok-kyung skillfully moved his hand to Yoo-hyun and said.
He looked relaxed, as if he had a lot of experience.
“This is an important place for Hansung Electronics to send out excellent employees from the LCD division. That’s why we came to support you.”
“Excellent employees?”
The village head blinked and looked at Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun sighed inwardly and reached out his hand with his eyes closed.
It would be rude to refuse after he had set up the stage like this.
“Village head, I’m Han Yoo-hyun. The company is supporting us like this.”
“What kind of support is this?”
“Don’t you care a lot about us in the village? I guess the company prepared a small gift as a token of appreciation.”
Yoo-hyun led the atmosphere naturally, and Kim Ok-kyung whispered in a playful expression.
“Deputy Han, you should join our team with your eloquence.”
“No way.”
Yoo-hyun shook his head at Kim Ok-kyung, who winked at him.
In the meantime, Kim Ok-kyung, who had hooked his arm around the village head, said cheerfully.
“Village head, then which course should we go? Just guide us.”
“Hehe. This is something.”
The village head scratched his head, still bewildered.
The LCD division manager and staff were still not fully aware of the situation and looked around.
The Hansung Electronics love food truck headed to the village.
There wasn’t much food, but it was enough to give each villager a bite.
Kim Ok-kyung, who had a loudspeaker, spoke loudly to the residents below the truck.
“We prepared this with all our hearts. Please enjoy and cheer up.”
“Hansung Electronics fighting.”
A woman in line raised her fist and shouted, and Kim Ok-kyung lifted the mood.
“Yeon-tae village is the best. We’ll give you extra service.”
“Hahaha.”
As people laughed, Kim Ok-kyung and two other members of the social contribution team handed out food.
They might have found it annoying, but they didn’t show any irritation at all.
They smiled brightly and treated the villagers well.
“Here’s one tteokbokki and one sundae.”
“It’s nice to get it from Hansung Electronics employees. I’ll enjoy it. Hohoho.”
Thanks to that, the villagers’ faces brightened up.
On top of the trunk, on the opposite side of where the food was being distributed, Yoo-hyun lowered a box that had been stacked on one side.
He then peeled off the tape that was attached to the box one by one.
Squeak. Squeak.
Inside were gifts with Hansung Electronics logo on them, such as t-shirts, notebooks, pens, diaries, etc.
Kim Ok-kyung, who was guiding him, whispered to Yoo-hyun.
“It’s also supported by the LCD division. Did you hear that the group leader was very generous?”
“Yes. I guess so.”
It was a strange conversation.
He remembered that something similar had happened during the interview lecture a while ago.
He also gave out gifts from group leader Ji-won then, and the students loved them very much.
Yoo-hyun recalled his absurd experience at that time and asked Kim Ok-kyung.
“So do we just hand these out now?”
“Yes. I’ll start with the announcement.”
Kim Ok-kyung nodded his head and spoke with a loudspeaker.
“Those who have eaten food, please come and get your gifts. We sincerely thank you for supporting Hansung Electronics.”
Buzzing.
Then another line formed on the opposite side of the food line for the gifts.
Yoo-hyun handed out gifts one by one to people.
“Here’s a size 95 t-shirt.”
“Wow. It’s so pretty. Thank you very much.”
People were delighted by the unexpected gifts.
It made even the giver feel good for no reason.
While Yoo-hyun was busy handing out gifts, Kim Ok-kyung whispered to him.
“It’s the first time an employee helps us like this.”
“How can I just watch when you came all this way for me?”
It was exactly as Yoo-hyun said.
He couldn’t just stand by and watch when they came to support him for his sake.
He didn’t have much to do even if he stayed at the factory, and it wasn’t hard to help.
And it was rewarding in its own way.
“Here, a pen and a diary.”
Yoo-hyun handed the gift, and a child greeted him brightly.
“Wow. Thank you.”
“Sure. Study hard.”
“Yes, bro. I’ll go to Hansung with this pen.”
“Here, take one more.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and gave him another notebook and pen.
Yoo-hyun, who was pleased by him, was watched fondly by Kim Ok-kyung, who spoke loudly with a loudspeaker.
“You may not know this, but these gifts were fully supported by the group of Deputy Han Yoo-hyun, who came here as a transfer.”
“Really?”
A woman asked Yoo-hyun curiously, and Kim Ok-kyung hyped him up more.
He was a bit talkative, maybe because he was in the mood.
“Of course. He is a talent that Hansung Electronics is pushing for. Please take good care of him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who received the gifts surrounded Yoo-hyun.
“Oh my, I thought he looked good.”
“I was envious of the Hansung t-shirt anyway. I’ll wear it well.”
“Thank you. I’ll have to treat you to a meal later.”
“Haha. Thank you.”
Yoo-hyun tried to shake off his embarrassment while more people came.
The gifts were not that big, but the name of Hansung Electronics made the village lively for once.
“Hahaha.”
“Hohoho.”
Thanks to that, laughter never stopped.
After the Hansung Electronics love food truck left.
The rumor about the new transfer who came to the warm village spread.
Women who received a bunch of gifts gathered at the flat in front of the supermarket and chatted.
At the center was the lady who provided lunch at the factory.
“He’s very nice. He eats well and cleans up.”
“Really? I saw him the other day and he greeted me well.”
“Don’t say that. That’s not all. They say the factory atmosphere changed completely after he came. Well…”
“Those lazy people worked all night? It’s different when a talented person comes.”
The women nodded their heads as if they had made a promise at the words of the restaurant lady.
The men sitting on the sofa in the bokdeokbang drinking coffee had serious expressions.
It was because of the story of the Chinese restaurant delivery man who came.
“I went to deliver and saw it clearly. He even set up a tent at the fishing spot.”
The men clicked their tongues at his words.
“He said he was an excellent employee of the company, but what’s with fishing?”
“I told you. There’s no way someone who’s doing so well would come here.”
“Well, you never know. Maybe Hansung really wants to grow our village.”
“That’s true. Now that I think about it, he runs around the village every morning and scouts.”
It was at that moment when the bokdeokbang owner’s brother finished speaking.
The village head blinked his eyes and said.
“Yong-seok, check him out a bit. He’s suspicious.”
“Yes, I got it.”
Bokdeokbang owner’s brother, no, village bum Bae Yong-seok nodded his head.
That day, Yoo-hyun finished his work as usual and headed to the reservoir.
It was no different from yesterday to sit on a chair in front of the tent and throw a fishing rod.
Of course, there was something different.
Instead of ordering jajangmyeon, Yoo-hyun took out a vinyl bag he had brought.
It was pork belly he bought from the village butcher shop yesterday.
The meat was thick and fresh enough to grill and eat.
He boiled water on a burner first before that.
It was for cup noodles.
He couldn’t grill pork belly at the same time because he had only one burner.
“It would be perfect if there was electricity.”
He consoled himself for not being able to use an electric kettle while pouring boiling water into cup noodles.
Then he put a frying pan on top of the burner and grilled pork belly.
Sizzle sizzle.
The sound of meat cooking on oil spread faintly.
He didn’t care about his fishing rod bobber at this moment.
It didn’t matter whether he caught fish or not.
Yoo-hyun swallowed his saliva when he was feeling his own happiness.
Zing zing.
A weed that had been pressed under the tent popped out.
Yoo-hyun snapped off the weed that came up over the frying pan and grumbled.
“This place is great except for too many weeds.”
He felt a little annoyed for a moment, but the smell of ramen rising with smoke made him feel better.
The timing was good as the meat was cooked, so Yoo-hyun ate pork belly and ramen together.
It couldn’t be better than eating dinner alone on a cloudy afternoon.
When Yoo-hyun was feeling his own happiness,
Ring ring ring ring.
The phone rang and when he checked, it was the name of Vice President Yeo Tae-sik.
He said he would call after the meeting, but the meeting must have been late.
Yoo-hyun put his cheerful mood into his voice.
“Ha ha. How have you been, group leader?”
Meanwhile, behind Yoo-hyun’s tent, a man was crouching.
It was Bae Yong Seok, the younger brother of the president of Bokdeokbang.
He held his breath and listened to Yoo-hyun’s voice.
Yoo-hyun’s loud and hearty voice pierced his ears.
-Vice president? Ha ha. At this rate, the president might come down to the factory too.
‘The president is coming down to the factory?’
Yoo-hyun was talking about the new factory in Ulsan, but Bae Yong Seok only heard what he needed.
The titles of executive director, vice president, and president came out incessantly in the long conversation.
He didn’t know the details, but he was sure that this person was casually and happily talking about something very important.
Bae Yong Seok, who had been listening with a serious expression, came to one conclusion.
It’s more than just a rumor.
Swoosh.
He quietly backed away after confirming everything he needed.
He still muttered to himself as he did so.
“No electricity, lots of weeds, no electricity, lots of weeds…”
He repeated the same words several times as if trying to remember them.
Yoo-hyun’s mouth curled up in a big smile after finishing his call with Executive Director Yeotae Sik.
It wasn’t because he could finally eat properly.
He was more grateful for Yeotae Sik’s care for him.
No matter how close they were, it wasn’t easy for an executive director to take care of a dispatched employee like this.
And there were other people he was thankful for.
-You should thank the team more than me. I just stamped it because the team requested it.
As Yeotae Sik had said, this food truck of love was requested by the team.
To be precise, Jang Jun Sik collected signatures from all the team members and delivered them to the social contribution team.
Thanks to his efforts, the social contribution team moved quickly and Yeotae Sik’s support followed.
He smiled as he recalled the process.
“I’ll have to grill some meat for them when they come over.”
He suddenly felt sorry for the small burner in front of him.
It was fine for him alone, but it would be insufficient for many people.
It would be nice to have some charcoal and a large grill plate.
A large table and chairs would be icing on the cake.
If he could also rent fishing rods while he was at it…
Yoo-hyun shook his head as he thought.
“It’s not like it’s a reservoir camping site.”
This place was nothing but an abandoned fishing spot.
Unless the whole village moved, such a change was impossible.
Yoo-hyun shook off his vain thoughts and sat still, looking at the float on his fishing rod.
There was some movement for once, so he lifted his fishing rod with a flick.
As expected, only the bait was gone from the hook.
“…”
They didn’t even show themselves most of the time, but once in a while they just took the bait like this.
It seemed that these reservoir fish were quite smart.
Yoo-hyun silently put on another bait and threw his fishing rod again.
Then he drank a cup of coffee and gazed quietly at the water’s edge.
The sun had set before he knew it.
But for a long time, the float didn’t move.
