Real Man-Chapter 733

He must have had a desired answer behind his question.

‘Is it because of Vice President Shin Kyung-wook?’

As he was about to reach the conclusion, Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s voice pierced through sharply.

“Did you bring Kyung-wook to the headquarters?”

“That’s…”

“I know what you’re going to say, so don’t beat around the bush.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I see. Have some tea.”

Yoo-hyun nodded politely, and then Chairman Shin Hyun-ho offered him some tea.

His tone was somewhat softened, but his eyes sparkled like a beast that had its prey in front of it.

Yoo-hyun sipped his tea slowly and recalled what Chairman Shin Hyun-ho had pointed out.

They were all related to Vice President Shin Kyung-wook’s actions.

And he used the expression ‘brought him in’.

That meant he thought Yoo-hyun had approached Vice President Shin Kyung-wook deliberately.

What should he do?

If he couldn’t clear this misunderstanding, Vice President Shin Kyung-wook’s plans might be hindered.

He wouldn’t hand over the chairman’s seat to his son who was being dragged around.

Thud.

Yoo-hyun put down his teacup and chose to remain silent for now.

Instead, he calmly met Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s sharp gaze.

He smiled and looked at Yoo-hyun.

“Kyung-wook was a kid who knew how to endure, but never stepped up. He didn’t seem to care about his position at all, but suddenly he changed his mind. I was very curious about that.”

“…”

“How amazing is it that there was a young employee behind him. Don’t you think?”

Vice President Shin Kyung-wook wasn’t someone who never stepped up, he was just waiting for the right time.

When the company was shaken in the past, he rolled up his sleeves and came out as a relief pitcher.

Since it wasn’t something he could convince him by saying, Yoo-hyun changed the direction.

“Chairman, you have misunderstood something.”

“Tell me.”

“I just followed Vice President Shin Kyung-wook’s conviction, I was never his background. He wouldn’t be swayed by the words of a mere new employee.”

“A mere new employee. I see, what was the conviction that the new employee thought was right?”

Chairman Shin Hyun-ho shot at him as if he was testing Yoo-hyun.

There was an opportunity behind the crisis.

If he could turn this situation around, he could lead the big game.

Yoo-hyun calmly wrote down his answer.

“I think the power of the employees is what makes the company stand up in times of crisis. I believe that the company can grow more when the leader values those employees.”

“Is that what you saw in Kyung-wook?”

“He treated me sincerely even though I was a new employee. He was the same to all the employees.”

“Then Kyung-wook has the qualities of a good manager.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Yoo-hyun felt relieved by the somewhat positive reaction.

But a twist came out of Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s mouth.

“But, he’s not fit to be an owner.”

“…”

“An owner is a position where you have to lead a bloody war. You have to be feared rather than led by petty emotions. That’s how Hansung has grown.”

-Are you afraid of the resentment of the employees? Then you just have to change that resentment into fear. Then every decision will be easy. That’s how I lead Hansung.

The words that Shin Kyung-soo had said flashed through Yoo-hyun’s mind.

He had spat out the same words and Yoo-hyun had watched closely what kind of management he had done.

He treated the employees like parts and filled his selfish desires.

Was Chairman Shin Hyun-ho still the same?

No.

If he was, there would be no reason to have this discussion.

Yoo-hyun didn’t choose the answer given to him, but pushed his opinion.

“I think Hansung needs to change in the future. That’s the only way to leap forward.”

“So you sided with Kyung-wook?”

“I just wanted to see the company that I hoped for.”

“You have a habit of talking in circles. Well, why would you, a mere employee who is neither an owner nor a manager, hope for that?”

Yoo-hyun didn’t want to repeat his regrets.

That’s why he came back to Hansung and tried to change it.

He recalled his deep wish in his heart and said calmly.

“Hansung is the company that gave me the first dream and let me meet wonderful colleagues. It’s natural to hope that such a company will get better.”

“A dream…”

Chairman Shin Hyun-ho looked lost in thought for a moment.

He didn’t know what he was thinking.

He could only catch a glimpse of regret in his eyes that were fixed on the air.

After a brief silence, Chairman Shin Hyun-ho looked straight ahead.

His eyes were much softer than before and they reached Yoo-hyun.

“You’re leaving the company now, aren’t you?”

“…”

“You’re going to quit when the smartphone is successfully launched?”

He already knew everything.

Why did he ask him when he knew he was leaving?

He didn’t know what his purpose was, but he was sure he was provoking him on purpose.

Yoo-hyun felt his changed emotions and answered honestly.

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Why are you leaving? The company hasn’t become what you want yet, has it?”

“Hansung has already changed a lot. And it will do better in the future.”

“Then you should stay even more, shouldn’t you?”

What if Vice President Shin Kyung-wook became the chairman?

Yoo-hyun might be able to do everything he wanted in the company.

But that wasn’t what Yoo-hyun wanted.

“I’ve done my part. And I’m satisfied with my life at Hansung so far.”

“I see… You might be able to do that.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

Swoosh.

Chairman Shin Hyun-ho took a sip of his tea and called Yoo-hyun.

“Manager Han.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“Of course.”

Yoo-hyun nodded and he spoke sincerely.

“I don’t know where you’ll be in the future. But whatever you do, I hope you don’t forget Hansung.”

Was he saying this as an employer or as a personal favor?

Although he was taken aback by the sudden request, Yoo-hyun saw the seriousness in Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s eyes.

In front of the giant who had grown Hansung into a global company, Yoo-hyun answered sincerely.

“I will never leave Hansung in my heart.”

“Good. That’s enough for me.”

Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s lips slightly but clearly curved up.

It was after Yoo-hyun left.

Chairman Shin Hyun-ho spoke to Vice Chairman Lim Hyuk-soo of the Group Operations Headquarters, who he faced.

“I now understand why Kyung-wook was able to grow.”

“It seems that Han Manager impressed you a lot.”

“More than that. If I had such an employee by my side, I could have made a different choice… Hmm.”

As Chairman Shin Hyun-ho uttered a regretful remark, he clutched his chest. Vice Chairman Lim Hyuk-soo said with a worried expression.

“Don’t push yourself. You did your best, Chairman.”

“I’ve held on for a long time with this foolish body. I think it’s time to wrap things up.”

“Have you decided?”

“Yes. This way, I can also test Kyung-soo’s capacity.”

Chairman Shin Hyun-ho nodded his head.

A few days later, Chairman Shin Hyun-ho approved the acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor through the Hansung Group board of directors.

The news was soon reported.

Yoo-hyun didn’t need to use many of the things he had prepared, as the matter was resolved too easily.

Thanks to that, the Infrastructure Strategy Manager achieved his desired goal without Yoo-hyun’s help.

Was it all thanks to the lucky coin?

Or was it thanks to Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s health?

Ting.

The answer was in his hand, but he decided not to check it as it was not very important.

Instead, Yoo-hyun received a call from a very welcome person and headed to the meeting place.

Yoo-hyun met Manager Park Seung-woo at a pub in Sinchon.

He was already there and sprang up to hug Yoo-hyun as he saw him.

“Oh! My mentee. I finally see your face. Haha!”

“Did you drink a lot?”

“I did drink a lot. Today’s main event is spending time with my beloved mentee, so there’s no way I wouldn’t. Sit down, sit down.”

He could feel the drunkenness from his flushed face and excited voice.

He had a good reason to drink a lot, as the previous drinking party was with the people who had worked hard for the Shinwa Semiconductor acquisition.

They all enjoyed themselves as they put down the heavy burden on their shoulders.

Yoo-hyun sat down and looked at his senior who had found him even in the midst of that.

“We could have met tomorrow.”

“No. On such a good day like today, I really wanted to drink with you. Well, it’s not over yet, but still.”

“Don’t you think the atmosphere here is a bit off?”

As Yoo-hyun looked around, Manager Park Seung-woo raised his voice.

“What’s wrong with this place? Everyone is a couple, but we’re the only men?”

“Lower your voice, please.”

“It’s a lonely world. I don’t need any women.”

“Did you give up?”

“I did. Come on, let’s drink.”

With a self-deprecating remark, Manager Park Seung-woo handed him a glass.

Yoo-hyun clinked glasses and listened to his hardships.

“Do you know what I went through in the acquisition process…”

As he listened, he realized that there were many strange incidents and accidents.

Yoo-hyun felt both amused and bitter.

He was joking about it now, but he could clearly see how much Manager Park Seung-woo, who was at the forefront, had suffered.

There was a person who kept appearing in his stories.

Yoo-hyun pointed out that person.

“Manager Kang Hye-jin is the one you fought with before, right? The one from Shinwa Semiconductor.”

“When was that?”

“When I was on the phone with you. You hung up because you were bickering with her.”

“Oh, that? Let me tell you. We didn’t fight, she just attacked me unilaterally.”

“Anyway. It seems that you and Manager Kang have some connection.”

Yoo-hyun threw a casual remark, and Manager Park Seung-woo flared up.

“Connection? You’re making a big fuss.”

“That makes me more curious.”

“You wouldn’t say that if you knew her personality… Ah, never mind. There’s no need to talk about something that will upset me.”

“Why? It’s fun.”

“I don’t find it fun. Let’s hear your story instead. What did you do in America?”

Chirp.

Yoo-hyun filled his empty glass and asked playfully.

“Is it okay to talk about love?”

“Sure, why not. I’m enlightened.”

Manager Park Seung-woo pretended not to care, but he drank every time he heard a ticklish story.

Before long, empty bottles piled up, and they had a lot of conversations.

The conversation continued even as they walked along the bustling street after finishing the first round.

“Do you know how mad Manager Kim Hyun-min was when you ran away to America without telling anyone?”

“Haha! Really? He didn’t say anything like that when he called me.”

“He was subtly looking out for you.”

“Why would he look out for me?”

“Remember when you almost lost your apartment because of you?”

“Hey, that was a long time ago.”

“Haha! Just kidding. Oh, and…”

Manager Park Seung-woo was in a good mood and laughed even as he made silly remarks.

Yoo-hyun also enjoyed the conversation with his favorite mentor for the first time in a long time.

It was while they were talking about this and that.

Manager Park Seung-woo stopped as he passed by a karaoke building.

“Huh?”

He narrowed his brows and looked at the TV hanging next to the karaoke sign on the second floor.

There was a karaoke room inside the TV.

Yoo-hyun, who was looking at the same place, asked him why.

“Why? Do you know someone?”

“No, I heard a familiar voice. I must have heard it wrong.”

“A singing voice?”

“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

As Manager Park Seung-woo turned around, the TV screen changed.

He pointed his finger at the screen and muttered in surprise.

“Huh? Manager Kang?”

Kang Hye-jin Manager?

He wondered if it was her and looked closely. He saw a woman singing alone in the screen.

“Yoo-hyun, wait here for a moment.”

“Are you going up?”

Before Yoo-hyun finished his sentence, Manager Park Seung-woo quickly climbed up the stairs of the building.

Yoo-hyun followed him swiftly.
