Real Man-Chapter 748

There was a reason for that.

Kwon Se-jung, the manager who had posted the top-ranked article on the IT news section, exclaimed in an excited voice.

-Really, the atmosphere inside is no joke. Everyone is working hard.

“Kid, you look happy after getting promoted.”

-It’s not just me. Well, that’s the best part.

“Congratulations, Manager Kwon.”

-You would have been promoted too if you were there… No, never mind. What happened to the Royal Family?

“Why?”

-They’re just too quiet.

Lately, the Royal Family, including Mrs. Hong Jin-hee, had been silent.

They had been quiet since Shin Kyung-soo was pushed back, and when former chairman Shin Hyun-ho woke up, they completely hid their traces.

It was a strange situation for anyone to see, but former chairman Shin Hyun-ho did not say a word.

The media also seemed to keep quiet about this issue.

“Maybe…”

Yoo-hyun was about to answer, recalling his past memories.

-Ladies and gentlemen, please check your seat belts once again, and refrain from using the lavatories and other places in the plane…

As the announcement came from the plane, Manager Kwon said.

-It looks like we’re taking off. It’s not a very important story, so let’s talk about it next time.

“Okay. Let’s have a drink when you come back.”

-Have fun, my friend.

Friend.

Yoo-hyun smiled at that word.

“Call me if you miss me.”

-International calls are expensive.

“Just use With Messenger.”

-Forget it. I don’t have a speck of intention to bother you when you’re dating, so I’ll hang up.

Click.

“Kid. You’re acting nice for no reason.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled as he looked at his turned-off phone, and Jeong Da-hye, who was sitting next to him, asked.

“Did Mr. Se-jung get promoted?”

“Yes. He’s a manager now. He was very excited.”

“Of course. Promotion is a matter of pride. That’s the only thing I regret about Double Y having unified ranks.”

“But you got a lot of bonuses, so it’s okay. Nothing is more effective than boosting morale than money.”

Double Y and Mirinae Securities employees received bonuses that were more than their salaries.

Jeong Da-hye nodded her head as she recalled the recent situation.

She also received a compensation that was more than what she had at Sprint Company.

“That’s true.”

“But why are you looking at that?”

Yoo-hyun leaned his head forward, and Jeong Da-hye covered the paper on the table and answered.

“I’m looking for items that we can work on in the future.”

“We’re going to have fun, not work.”

“I know. But it’s good to look ahead when you have time. That’s the attitude of a pro, I guess.”

Jeong Da-hye smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

The paper under her hand fluttered and fell in front of Yoo-hyun.

“Mr. Hyun! Wait a minute.”

“What is it?”

Swoosh.

-Paris, France, local restaurant reviews.

He picked up the paper and saw that there were tiny and dense restaurant reviews under the big title.

She printed out the content that she could see on her phone, and even analyzed it with a red pen.

Yoo-hyun grinned.

“Aha! You were looking at the food industry.”

“Hmm! The food industry is also an item, you know.”

“Sure. It’s a good item. Have you decided where to eat?”

“Of course. We’re going to go with the backpacking concept, and go to places where only locals go. As soon as we arrive, we’ll go to a pasta place behind Montmartre hill and have lunch…”

Jeong Da-hye, who was coughing, quickly whispered her travel course with an excited expression.

She looked very cute.

Yoo-hyun’s sharp gaze made her embarrassed, and she changed the subject.

“Well, that’s it. But you’re meeting your friend in France, right?”

“Friend?”

“Yes. You said you were going to meet him. I was wondering if the schedule changed.”

“Oh.”

As Yoo-hyun was about to answer, a message came in on his phone.

Beep.

-Steve, I’ll send someone to the airport according to your arrival time. I’ve also booked a place for you, so you don’t have to worry about anything.

The sender was Laura Parker.

He appreciated her kindness, but he wanted to give the first day to Jeong Da-hye’s wishes.

She had prepared for a long time.

Yoo-hyun sent a polite refusal message and opened his mouth.

“No. It’s the same. I’m going to see him on the second day.”

“I see. Oh, it’s going to be fun.”

The plane took off with Jeong Da-hye’s smile full of anticipation.

9,500 kilometers west of Incheon.

They arrived in France after a 12-hour and 30-minute flight.

Yoo-hyun and Jeong Da-hye got off the airport and took a tram to the 18th district of Paris.

When they got off the tram and climbed up Montmartre hill, the sun was in the middle of the sky.

Trudge trudge.

Jeong Da-hye, who was wearing jeans, sneakers, a white jumper, and a backpack, exclaimed.

“Wow, it’s amazing. That’s the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, one of the world’s architectural wonders that you have to see before you die.”

“Really?”

“Yes. It was built by Catholic believers in 1871, after France lost the Franco-Prussian War, for the future of their country. And…”

She must have studied French hard, and even memorized the travel guide.

Yoo-hyun, who was listening to her explanation, pointed to the building.

“Do you want to go inside?”

“No, no. We have to eat first. We can see and enjoy it anytime.”

“Something seems to have changed, don’t you think?”

“No way. But doesn’t this place look like Insadong?”

The street was full of street vendors selling various souvenirs and street artists.

The tourists were immersed in the artistic atmosphere of the street.

Yoo-hyun looked around and answered.

“Yeah, it does have a similar vibe.”

“I knew this would happen.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, the domestic reviews said that the 18th district of Paris is a crime-ridden area and we should avoid it. But it doesn’t look that bad, does it?”

Yoo-hyun had been here before on a business trip, so he knew that the reviews were exaggerated.

He recalled what the local staff had told him back then.

“It might be fine during the day, but it could be dangerous at night, right?”

“They said we just have to be careful of the northern outskirts at night. I checked out the local reviews thoroughly.”

“Local reviews?”

“Yes. You have to listen to the authentic voices of the locals, right? Just follow me. I’ll take you to a pasta place that’s rated as the best by the people here.”

Jeong Da-hye said confidently and loudly.

As they descended from the Montmartre hill to the east, a quiet alleyway appeared.

In this place where tourists rarely visited, there was a pasta place that Jeong Da-hye had recommended.

She was full of confidence until they entered the quaint-looking building.

It was fine until the food came out after a long wait.

“The food must be delicious since it took so long. Please try it.”

“Thank you for introducing me to this nice place.”

“You’re welcome.”

But as soon as she took a bite, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She started to glance at Yoo-hyun as she took the second forkful.

Clank.

When she ate the cake that came out as a dessert, Jeong Da-hye closed her eyes tightly.

“Sigh…”

Her sigh with her hand on her forehead echoed in the store.

She came out with her shoulders drooping and said.

“I’m sorry. The local reviews were not right.”

“No, it was fine.”

“Don’t lie. Honestly, it was worse than what Jaehui made, right?”

“He’s a bit of a jerk, but he can cook decently.”

“That’s not comforting. I can’t stand it. I have to post a truthful review.”

Jeong Da-hye was determined, but Yoo-hyun pointed out a realistic constraint.

“They’ll claim it and delete it as soon as you post it, right?”

“Then I’ll make it so they can’t delete it.”

“How?”

“Just wait a second.”

Tick tick tick.

-먓히 햐냐도 엄써용.졀때 빗츄.My Best Pasta Place!

“Like this.”

Yoo-hyun laughed when he saw the review that Jeong Da-hye posted.

“Haha! The translation won’t work, so the owner won’t be able to understand it.”

“Ha! But I’m still angry. I had high expectations.”

“But the scenery here is beautiful, right? Let’s take a picture.”

“Shall we?”

Jeong Da-hye seemed to cheer up quickly, and Yoo-hyun put down his backpack.

“Stay there. I’ll get the sunglasses.”

Rummage rummage.

As he rummaged through his backpack, fluent French came from behind him.

“Can I take a picture for you?”

He turned his head and saw a man with yellow curly hair and neat clothes pointing at Jeong Da-hye’s phone and making a gesture of taking a picture.

Jeong Da-hye smiled and spat out the French she had studied hard.

“Merci, monsieur.”

She handed him the phone and whispered to Yoo-hyun.

“He’s offering to take a picture for us. The locals are so kind, right?”

“Yeah. Just a second.”

He had quite a lot of stuff in his backpack, so it took him some time to find the sunglasses.

As soon as Yoo-hyun grabbed the sunglasses case, he heard a running sound.

Thud thud thud.

“Hey, stop!”

Immediately after the scream, Jeong Da-hye started running.

The curly-haired man was running ahead of her.

“Damn.”

Yoo-hyun quickly strapped on his backpack and chased after them.

He couldn’t believe it as he ran.

‘How can I get hit in the back of the head from the start?’

He knew well that there were many pickpockets and scammers in Europe, but it was the first time he had been a victim.

Jeong Da-hye was furious and ran with gritted teeth.

She was pretty fast, even with the backpack on, thanks to her morning runs.

Yoo-hyun caught up with her when they entered a dead-end alley.

“Huff. Huff. Huff.”

The curly-haired man was standing in front of Jeong Da-hye, who was panting.

He leaned his back against the wall and smiled.

Thump. Thump.

“Hey, yellow monkey, you have guests behind you.”

He slapped Jeong Da-hye’s phone with his palm and smirked.

Three big men came up behind Yoo-hyun and waved their hands.

“Bonjour, monsieur and madame.”

“…”

It was not a friendly atmosphere, to say the least.

Sure enough, the three guys who faced Yoo-hyun sneered one by one.

“What now? You’re rats in a trap.”

“Give us everything you have that’s worth money.”

“Let’s take off all the clothes you’re wearing too. Hehe.”

They were having fun.

Yoo-hyun was speechless and Jeong Da-hye whispered to him.

“We’re surrounded, right?”

“Probably.”

“Sigh… The local reviews were all wrong. This place is no good.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll get out of here soon. I’ll take care of it.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and reassured her, and Jeong Da-hye put down her backpack and said.

Thud.

“No. It’s dangerous, so I’ll take the back.”

She clenched her fist and took an attacking stance.

Shuffle shuffle.

“Huh? The girl has no fear? You want to fight?”

“Kukukuku!”

The big thugs closed in on her, but Jeong Da-hye’s eyes were alive.

She straightened her posture that she had practiced at the gym.

She had courage, but reality was different.

Even if the opponents didn’t have weapons, the difference in size was too big.
