Chapter 367
Yoo-hyun quickly snapped out of it and denied it firmly.
“Hey, don’t get me wrong. I have nothing to do with Hyunji. I’m not interested in her at all.”
“But doesn’t Hyunji like you, hyung?”
“Sigh.”
How was he supposed to carry on this conversation?
He wanted to be patient and deal with him, but the kid was too young.
He couldn’t ignore his bloodshot eyes either.
Yoo-hyun straightened his posture and called his name.
“Junggu, I’ll just call you by your name.”
“Yes, hyung.”
And then he asked him bluntly.
“Dude, have you ever confessed to Hyunji?”
“Well…”
“What did Hyunji say?”
“Actually, I haven’t asked her yet. I can tell by the way she looks at me.”
Yoo-hyun snorted in disbelief.
“Man, what kind of man lacks guts like that?”
“No, I don’t. I’m a manly man, Junggu. I only shrink in front of Hyunji, but I never cower.”
“Why do you shrink in front of Hyunji?”
“Because my heart beats so fast when I see her.”
Yoo-hyun paused for a moment at his innocent answer.
He wanted to lash out at him, but he couldn’t say anything more.
Yoo-hyun calmly asked him one by one.
“Do you know what kind of food Hyunji likes?”
“Uh… what was it?”
“Never mind. What does she study at school?”
“I didn’t go to college.”
Junggu shook his head and Yoo-hyun chuckled sarcastically.
“Don’t make excuses. Then do you know what her hobby is?”
“I know that. She likes golf.”
“Yeah. You know that? Do you know anything about it? Have you ever studied it?”
“…”
Yoo-hyun gave him some advice as he ran out of words.
“If you like someone and really want to date them, you have to make an effort to find out that much. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”
“Hyung, everyone likes you even if you just sit there. The girls from the next village, the ladies in the neighborhood too.”
“Hey, that’s nonsense…”
Yoo-hyun was about to retort when a passing lady greeted him warmly.
“Oh, Yoo-hyun, nice to see you.”
“Yes. Hello.”
“Ho ho. I’ll pack you some side dishes later.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Have a good time.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and nodded at her and then looked at Junggu again.
There was a brief silence between them.
Yoo-hyun regained his composure and spoke again.
He sounded a bit deflated, but he still meant what he said.
“You have to carve out your own life. Why compare yourself to me? Do you want to live my life? Can you do that?”
“…”
He could see that he was still not convinced by his rolling eyes.
Yoo-hyun changed direction instead of pushing further and provoked his pride.
“Hey, just give up. What kind of man freezes to death? Just follow behind others for the rest of your life.”
“Huh, hyung.”
“I’ve said all I have to say, so the rest is up to you whether you live or die.”
Yoo-hyun left his seat after saying his last words and Junggu reached out to stop him.
“I didn’t mean not to do it.”
“This kid, making excuses again while dragging on the conversation. Hey, don’t talk to me again if you’re going to do this next time.”
Yoo-hyun lowered his head and tied the knot more harshly.
What if he failed here?
He didn’t want to see him at all.
In the end, one had to claim their own life for themselves.
Yoo-hyun made up his mind and walked away without looking back.
A few days later.
After finishing his work, Yoo-hyun headed to the golf practice range behind the Chinese restaurant as usual.
The road along the edge of the circular path had been fixed up.
Thanks to that, Yoo-hyun could ride his bike on the road next to the white fence.
Clack. Clack.
Inside the circular path, the villagers were playing golf.
The number of people had increased noticeably since the renovation was done.
Even though there could be conflicts when many people gathered in a limited space, the villagers took turns to manage it.
They showed their dedication by taking reservations and operating it the day before.
Shim Hyun Ji was at the center of it.
She led the villagers and established a system of her own.
She was young, but smart and confident, and everyone followed her words.
Both Bae Yong Seok and Shim Hyun Ji.
The selfless spirit of their family was admirable.
It wasn’t just the people who played golf.
The circular path was so neatly arranged that many people came to see it.
Now, it became a culture to gather here every evening.
The busier it got, the busier someone became.
Vroom.
The delivery man Jung Han Sik, who rode a motorcycle, stopped in front of Yoo-hyun and waved his hand.
“Brother Yoo-hyun.”
“Going for another delivery?”
“Yes. I’m dying. People order too much.”
“It’s good if the Chinese restaurant does well, right?”
“There’s no one I like. The boss complains that he doesn’t have time to play golf.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled at the thought that Nam Hee Woong would do that.
“He’s busy now. He’ll take care of you later.”
“Yes. I hope so.”
“You come back later too. There’s a meat party tonight.”
“See you later.”
Jung Han Sik put on his helmet and drove his motorcycle again.
When Yoo-hyun turned his head, he saw people eating jajangmyeon on a mat.
Chicken, pork belly, and other foods were also delivered to this forest path now.
Change was in an instant.
He felt that again.
When he arrived at the golf practice range, he saw Choi Jung Bok sitting on a bench and reading a newspaper.
Yoo-hyun sat down next to him and asked him.
“What’s with the newspaper?”
“Just. Seeing how the world is going. Oh, I got a call from the military office. They’re reviewing the application.”
“Good job. When is the announcement?”
“Well. I have to see what other villages have too. It’ll be fine.”
It was easy to say, but it wasn’t easy to let go of his obsession.
He worked hard to prepare the report.
But he looked relaxed as if he had really let go of his mind.
He could let go of it without regret when he let go of it like that.
Wasn’t that why he could always enjoy living in the present?
Yoo-hyun suddenly gave him a thumbs up at that thought.
“You’re awesome, brother.”
“Awesome? You’re much more awesome. Hey, do you know what an Apple phone is?”
He pointed to the newspaper with his finger as he lifted Yoo-hyun up with him.
There was a huge special article on Apple phones there.
“Yes. I know well.”
“Oh, good. Well, the head office is releasing Apple phone 3 stocks, but there’s a limit. They’re asking for quantity requests. I’m wondering if I should take it or not.”
“Why? Is there a reason not to take it?”
“It’s the first release in Korea, so the subsidy is too low. The price is high too. It’s too much of a burden if it becomes inventory.”
Apple phones were still unfamiliar in Korea.
There were many people who welcomed it on the internet, but no one knew how much impact it would have on the offline market.
Yoo-hyun couldn’t predict the atmosphere at the first release either.
But he knew for sure that it wouldn’t fail.
“Just take it. Pull in as much quantity as possible.”
“Okay. Got it.”
Yoo-hyun smirked as he nodded his head at Choi Jung Bok’s answer.
“Is that all? Don’t you want to ask more?”
“Nah. I’ll go warm up at the practice range first.”
Choi Jung Bok smiled and got up from his seat after putting down the newspaper.
He was a person who lived comfortably in any way.
Here is the translation of your text:
“Do that. I’ll read the newspaper.”
Yoo-hyun nodded with a smirk.
Swish.
He turned the page of the newspaper he was holding.
There was one news that caught his eye.
-Hansung Electronics received a huge amount of consulting from a famous foreign consulting firm, and as a result, an internal document that said they should focus their efforts on feature phones instead of smartphones was leaked and caused a stir. This is…
The same thing that happened in the past was repeating itself.
But this article, which did not come out in the past, came out to the world.
It was evidence that there was some internal resistance going on.
Yoo-hyun saw through the urgent situation that was going on inside Hansung Electronics through this short article.
Chairman Shin Myung-ho, Vice President Hyun Ki-joong, and the head of the development center and other key executives.
Each group company and group strategy room.
In a situation where they were barely keeping up with the changing trends of the times, they were fiercely engaged in internal politics as their interests clashed.
As they pushed each other into a situation where they would slip if they didn’t make money right away, the choice for the future was pushed back.
This was the result of dragging on with various excuses.
“Tsk tsk.”
Yoo-hyun stepped back and looked at them.
From a distance, they looked like a comedy, or rather a farce.
By the way, what would Director Shin Kyung-wook be doing now?
He thought he should call him later and turned the page.
There was another news that stood out among the others.
The same thing that connected him with Jeong Da-hye in the past was happening again.
Even though he expected it, Yoo-hyun’s lips kept curling up.
“He’ll be coming to Korea soon.”
At that moment, New York.
Even though it was early in the morning, Jeong Da-hye got up earlier than usual.
To be honest, she barely slept.
It was because of what her team leader said that kept spinning in her head.
-Alice. The G20 Preparation Committee seems to like you because you’re Korean. They probably picked you because you’re easy to handle and manipulate. Show them your real skills this time.
Because she was Korean, easy-going, and looked easy.
That’s how he summarized the reason why she was chosen for such an important project.
Not only him, but also others.
Even though she had successfully completed many projects, her position in the company was not high due to her young age, gender, and skin color.
That’s why she had more pride and wanted to succeed in this project no matter what.
If she succeeded in a national-level project, no one would be able to ignore her.
“Hoo.”
She took a breath and grabbed the plane ticket to Korea on her desk.
-Please contact me when you come to Korea. I’ll guide you for sure.
Why did his voice come to mind at this time?
She shook her head vigorously and looked at herself in front of the mirror.
“I’ll show you I can succeed.”
Her eyes were filled with determination and glowed strongly.
Yoo-hyun was imagining various things while thinking of Jeong Da-hye.
He felt someone’s gaze from behind him since a while ago and turned his head.
Then someone hid behind a tree quickly.
Why is he doing that again?
Yoo-hyun sighed and gestured with his hand.
“Jung-gu, I can see you, so just come out.”
He came out with an awkward expression and saluted loudly.
“Yes. Manly Moon Jung-gu, I greet you after a long time.”
“Huh?”
Choi Jeong-bok, who was swinging his club at the golf practice range, recognized Moon Jung-gu and stopped his posture.
Then he came over and acted friendly.
“Hey, aren’t you the son of the hardware store? Thanks for taking care of the grill.”
“That’s nothing. You can take them all.”
“Haha. You’re so generous. Hey, if you have any questions about park golf clubs, just ask me. I’ll tell you everything.”
Choi Jeong-bok spoke coolly and went back to the tee.
Moon Jung-gu, who was watching him, glanced at Yoo-hyun.
He was a guy with a weird side.
