Chapter 505:

Yoo-hyun finished organizing the exhibition content and went outside.

He still didn’t know who was tracking his movements, but he had to be careful.

He had bought an iPhone 4 with Kwon Se-jung last year, and he stopped by the same phone store with a precautionary mind.

There was a banner fluttering in front of the store.

-Hansung Google Reference Phone NextH Launch. Huge Sale.

It said huge sale, but the price was quite high.

It was not popular because it had no outstanding features compared to competing products.

This was all because of the useless internal politics.

Yoo-hyun thought of Shin Kyung-wook, the vice president who was still fighting with the foreign executives, and grabbed the NextH.

Apart from the price, it was meaningful to Yoo-hyun in many ways because it was the first phone to have JK Communication’s modem chip.

‘Jin-geon, you did a great job.’

He called Hyun Jin-geon, who was still working hard in the US, with his new phone.

He called the US, but it was not Hyun Jin-geon.

He called a more meaningful place for the first call.

Ding-dong-ding-dong.

The call was connected and a familiar voice came out.

-Hello, this is Jeong Da-hye.

“Have you been well? This is Yoo-hyun.”

-Oh? Yoo-hyun? Did you change your number?

“Yes. That’s why I’m making a special first call. You should feel honored.”

-Thank you very much for calling me right before you go to bed.

He imagined Jeong Da-hye’s face with a walnut wrinkle on her chin at her grumbling voice.

It was a friendly face that made him smile just by thinking about it.

‘I should have taken a picture of it.’

He vowed to take a picture of her next time he met her and joked.

“Then, since it’s right before you go to bed, tell me some stories.”

-Don’t you usually tell stories to people who are asleep?

“If I fall asleep listening to your story, I won’t be able to hear it. So, please go ahead.”

He had been holding back to consider her struggles, but he wanted to talk to her for a long time today.

She felt the same way and opened her mouth without arguing with his coercion.

Most of her daily life was work, so she started with her work story.

-Well, I’m at the Exxon Mobil construction site in Texas…

She was still working on the Sail Oil consulting project for Exxon Mobil.

The amount was interesting because of the large scale, but the negotiations with the US government caught Yoo-hyun’s attention more.

He listened with interest for a while and then told her a story that would interest her.

“It’s my turn. I’m doing a project in Spain and…”

He left out the royal family part, so the stimulating factor was reduced, but the meeting content with Narutal Power and the reception part aroused interest.

She empathized with the various negotiation situations and laughed when she heard Yoo-hyun’s plan to entertain them in Spanish for a twist.

-That’s fun.

“It’s not as big as your work.”

-It’s not easy either, what are you talking about. And I think it would be fun to work with you.

“There are only bright parts, but there are also many difficult parts.”

Especially when there was someone behind him who was playing tricks like this time.

It was a problem because he didn’t know who the other person was, so he had to be careful.

It was a subtle stress.

He softened his words and Jeong Da-hye trailed off.

-But…

“Yes?”

She smiled as if nothing happened at his question.

-No. I also have a lot of difficulties. But I have to do well, right?

“Of course. You can do it.”

-Yes. Thank you.

“I’m more grateful. Fighting.”

He hung up the phone with a good mood and looked at her name still on the screen.

She must have been having a hard time because of the pressure of the project, but her voice was brighter than he thought.

“I’m glad you’re doing well.”

He felt better just by imagining her moving forward toward her dream.

On the other hand, Jeong Da-hye also felt the same way.

“He’s doing well. I’m glad.”

She was worried when he said he was moving to a new department, but he was more cheerful and fun than anyone else.

He felt better just by imagining his face.

Before that feeling faded away, a video came in on her phone.

When she clicked it, the news she saw this afternoon came out.

-The environmental group is protesting that the Texas earthquake and groundwater contamination are caused by Sail Oil drilling. Exxon Mobil’s position on this is…

It was obvious what the boss meant by sending a video without text at bedtime.

She had to prioritize the customer, and the line was already set.

This was too far from what she had dreamed of.

“But I have to do well, right?”

She asked Yoo-hyun the question she had asked him earlier and clenched her phone.

Her values were shaken, but she decided to go as far as she could.

Yoo-hyun’s proposal for the reception went up to Vice President Yoon Ju-tak through Director Song Hyun-seung.

He also heard that Vice President Yoon Ju-tak personally reported the related content to Madame Hong Jin-hee.

It was an important matter, but thanks to Yoo-hyun’s expansion, this reception attracted the attention of the royal family.

Especially, the importance of the exhibition, which was the main reception, was needless to say.

The two presidents of Hansung Electronics and Hansung Display rolled up their sleeves under the pressure of the royal family.

Yoo-hyun heard about this urgent situation from his colleague Kwon Se-jung.

The place was a corner seat of the VIP lounge where there were few people, and he used his new phone for the call.

-How can the presidents come out for one exhibition?

“It’s that important.”

-Honestly, I don’t understand. It’s not like they’re going to sell anything to the royal family.

“Some people think they become equal if they hang out with the royal family. They are childish.”

Kwon Se-jung asked back at Yoo-hyun’s sharp words.

-Are you talking about the royal family?

“I’ll pass on that.”

-What? You have a lot of secrets since you joined the group strategy room?

“Just do me a favor this time. I have something to worry about.”

Yoo-hyun cut it off.

He didn’t bother to tell his colleague about it.

This was not the kind of thing that would make him feel better if he confided in someone.

He had to solve it by himself, even though it was frustrating.

Kwon Se-jung, who had no idea of Yoo-hyun’s feelings, looked at him with a hurtful look.

-So you told the kids to pretend they don’t know you, right?

“Yes. You too.”

-I know. I did, but they’re all disappointed. They were all looking forward to seeing you at the exhibition.

“Well, it’s not like the work won’t go on without me.”

Yoo-hyun’s words were immediately countered by Kwon Se-jung.

-No. It’s because of the guy who came instead of you. He even had a fight with Director Park.

“Shin?”

-Yeah. He’s so rude, he even clashed with Director Park.

“What happened?”

-What do you think? We can’t do anything without us. He had to follow us in the end.

No wonder Shin Nak-kyun was bragging about finding faults in the Innovation Strategy Room.

The progress was not bad, so Yoo-hyun joked.

“Then it’s fine. I only care about the results.”

-Hehe. Yeah. Let me finish this and then let’s hear your story.

“We’ll have time for that soon.”

-You’re such a complicated kid.

“You know that. Bye.”

He hung up the phone with a smirk and thought of the invisible opponent.

If he was connected to Shin Kyung-soo, he must be watching Yoo-hyun right now.

He must have known that he had raised the stakes.

In this situation, he wouldn’t miss the exhibition.

He had to come out, even if he was curious about what Yoo-hyun was doing.

“Let’s see your face.”

He lifted one corner of his mouth, imagining his face that he would confirm soon.

Time passed and the exhibition preparation proceeded smoothly.

Yoo-hyun, who was behind, also moved busily to handle the remaining important tasks.

Especially, he paid attention to using the contract that Director Yeo Tae-sik had made for him.

The result was in a personal email that arrived a while ago.

He checked it using his computer at home.

-I’ll take the exclusive contract. But I hope you know that I’m doing this not because of the contract, but because of the connection with Maria.

‘Thank you.’

He thanked the ‘person’ who made the key to this exhibition reception and moved the attached data to a USB.

He didn’t intend to transfer the data on the USB to his company laptop.

It was not enough to just make the exhibition satisfactory.

He needed a plausible item to attract not only Narutal Power but also the Spanish royal family.

He had to connect the smart control app made by Hansung SI and the IoT-applied appliances made by Hansung Electronics and demonstrate them.

He was thinking about that part in his office.

Na Do-yeon, the director in charge of the South American bus system, approached him.

She had raised her voice when Yoo-hyun had gambled her project at the meeting with Narutal Power.

She asked him in a tone lower than usual in the same situation.

“Are you going to touch my project again?”

“To be precise, I’m trying to revive the smart control project that you raised and got rejected for being premature.”

He answered leisurely and Na Do-yeon narrowed her eyes.

“Revive something that hasn’t even started? And at the exhibition where the Spanish royal family will see?”

“That’s right.”

“What are you going to show? There’s nothing ready.”

“Hansung SI has a smart control app, and Hansung Electronics has IoT-applied appliances. I’m going to connect them and do a demo.”

“What about the factory automation and traffic automation parts?”

She asked and Yoo-hyun gave a cheeky answer.

“I have to use the materials that you made. It’s all doable, right?”

“But there’s nothing made.”

“There’s no chance to convince the customer, who is a vice president and a royal, with just a concept.”

“…”

“If you don’t like it, I won’t do it.”

He drew the line and Na Do-yeon shook her head.

She made a sensible choice as expected.

“No. There’s no reason to refuse if you make the results.”

“If you help me with the preparation process, I think I can make the results.”

“Am I being used instead of Shin?”

“You’ll get rewarded for your hard work.”

He pointed out the reason to her, who laughed bitterly.

She snapped her fingers.

“Let me see what you have. There’s no time.”

“That’s a wise choice.”

He got up from his seat and reached out his hand, and she shook it with a smirk.

While he was approaching his goal.

Team leaders Shim Byeong-jik and Bae Jae-chan did their assigned tasks reluctantly.

It was just bringing the royal family to Yoo-hyun, but there were a lot of things to worry about.

They had to research everything from the Spanish etiquette to their habits, eating habits, and interests, and arrange the detailed itinerary accordingly.

They also had to deal with the media in front of unpredictable people.

It was a lot of work.

If they did well, they would break even, but if they did poorly, it would be obvious.

They wanted to order their subordinates, but Director Song Hyun-seung was watching them with fire in his eyes, so they had to do their best.

A few days later, the time came to check the results of their efforts.

<Spanish Princess Maria, royal family visit Korea. “I want to experience Korean IT technology.”

He saw the news of the arrival press conference and clicked his tongue.

“They should have mentioned Hansung in the interview.”

Maria Carlos, who prioritized the meeting with the government, did not mention Hansung.

She probably wanted to avoid political factors, but this was fatal for Hansung, who was hosting her.

To be exact, there was someone who was sensitive to such trivial details.

It was Director Song Hyun-seung.
