Real Man

Chapter 388:

He had worked so hard, but it seemed like everything was ruined at the last minute. He felt like dying.

And Yoo-hyun was also a problem.

He wanted to stay in Yeontae for a long time, but he didnt have any desire to live a life of ruining his leisure.

Especially, he didnt want to see the arrogant expression of Director Kwon Seong-hoe.

Sigh.

Yoo-hyun clenched his teeth and copied the words he had written on the notepad and pasted them into the email body.

Then he pressed the send button right away.

One minute left.

The time bar that appeared on the window increased slowly like a turtle.

At this speed, it seemed like it would take not one minute, but two minutes.

Please, hang in there.

A desperate voice came out of Yoo-hyuns mouth involuntarily.

This moment was more tense than the negotiation with Apple.

30 seconds.

20 seconds.

10 seconds.

They said that if you wish hard enough, it will come true.

Yoo-hyun didnt believe that, but he saw it right before his eyes now.

The time bar that hadnt even reached half suddenly sped up and filled up 100% in an instant.

At the same time, a message of email completion popped up.

I did it.

An exclamation burst out of Yoo-hyuns mouth.

Yoo-hyun clenched his fist and Kim Seung-mis palm stretched out in front of him.

Congratulations.

Its all thanks to you, sister-in-law.

Yoo-hyun gave her a bright smile and shook her hand without hesitation.

Clap.

The two exchanged happy smiles.

At that moment. Mokpo factory situation room.

The atmosphere that had been reversed was reversed again as the set time approached.

Why arent they sending the audit report?

Well

The factory manager growled, and the Yeontae factory staff who attended to get the final confirmation shivered.

Tick tock.

In the meantime, the clock passed 5 p.m.

Director Kwon Seong-hoe, who got up from his seat, shrugged his shoulders with a smile of a winner.

So this is how it ends.

They already finished reassembling. Isnt it too harsh to make a fuss over a slightly late report?

The factory manager argued, but Director Kwon Seong-hoe just shook his head.

Its unfortunate, but theres nothing we can do. Rules are rules, arent they?

This means that the audit teams evaluation was wrong. And the Mokpo factory that participated in this

Director Kwon Seong-hoe walked around the table and pressured them.

The factory managers expression twisted and the atmosphere became more hostile.

Then it happened.

Park Seung-gyun, the deputy manager of the audit team who was checking the email, shouted.

The audit report just arrived.

Its already late.

Director Kwon Seong-hoe hid his bitter feelings and lowered his head.

He didnt know how they sent it, but the promised time had passed.

But Park Seung-gyuns mouth opened and the situation reversed again.

The email receipt time is 4:59:55 p.m.

What, what did you say?

Director Kwon Seong-hoe was shocked at that moment.

Thump thump.

Even though quite some time had passed since he sent the email, Yoo-hyuns chest still vibrated.

He checked the sending time and receipt confirmation of the email again.

As if to prove that it went well, he got a message from Mindalgi.

-The mail just came in and totally flipped the board. You really worked hard.

The situation that couldnt be expressed in text was conveyed vividly from the calm words.

Kim Seung-mi handed him a glass of sikhye with a pleasant smile on her face.

Sir, youll be returning to the company now.

Why do you think that?

You love your work so much. Dont you have to go? No?

He had felt an immense sense of accomplishment in a short time.

His whole body was tingling with pleasure.

But Yoo-hyun shook his head.

I want to enjoy this leisurely life more.

Why? You can enjoy yourself in Seoul too.

Its different. Its too crowded there. And the living is tight.

As he tried to explain his reason, he naturally linked it to the cramped city life.

It wasnt something that bothered him, but the context was the same.

Yoo-hyun didnt want to lose this relaxed life.

Kim Seung Mi, who sat down next to him, asked him a question.

Sir, have you seen a play?

A play? No.

What about a concert? Have you been on a cruise on the Han River?

No. I havent done that either.

Why was she asking him such things out of the blue?

He shook his head at her and Kim Seung Mi said.

Look. You can live there as well and enjoy yourself if you want to. But you didnt, did you?

Is that so?

Of course. You dont know until you try. Those men never understand womens hearts. Hoho.

Kim Seung Mis words, uttered with a laugh, pierced Yoo-hyuns heart.

-Sir. Have you ever seen a play? Id like to go sometime when I have time.

When he met Jeong Da-hye again.

He wanted to do many things for her that he couldnt do in the past.

But Yoo-hyun had no experience.

He realized that his life had been like that until now.

Running, working, fighting.

He had become more relaxed than before, but he couldnt get out of the mold.

Thats true.

Why dont you try different things when youre younger? You never know. Maybe its more relaxing and better than here?

Kim Seung Mi blinked one round eye.

Considering his life span, Yoo-hyun wasnt young at all.

But he had to admit it.

Her words, born from experience, swept away his last hesitation.

His feelings were expressed naturally.

I dont think it would be better without my sister-in-law there.

Hohoho. Well, thats true.

Kim Seung Mi clapped and laughed for a long time.

The emergency audit at the yeontae factory was successful as expected.

The work was done according to the prepared quantity and matched 100% with the report content.

Did they try to pull a trick in front of the audit team and the factory manager?

That was impossible even for the group strategy room.

Director Kwon Sung Hoi had no choice but to stamp his approval for the yeontae factory as the best factory.

He heard the news first from Min Dal Ki.

-So the group strategy room selected the yeontae factory this time

Yes. Thats right. Good job.

After finishing the call, Yoo-hyun reminisced about Director Kwon Sung Hoi.

Thanks to him, he had gained enlightenment after being transferred, and he was able to make a decision without hesitation because of his audit.

His past enmity became fate in his new life.

-Thank you sincerely for the great gift.

Yoo-hyun expressed his gratitude in a message.

It was a basic courtesy (?) to his former boss who came all this way for him.

Ding.

Yoo-hyun opened his received message box after sending the message.

The text from Shin Kyung-wook, the director, was at the top.

Yoo-hyun pressed the call button next to his name without hesitation.

It was time to act on his decision.

He conveyed his thoughts clearly in his words.

The next afternoon. Haenam CC

Waiting for his turn, Yoo-hyun looked at the distant scenery and Choi Jung Bok asked him.

Brother. You look very happy. Did things go well?

Yes. I feel good. And thanks to my sister-in-law, I feel even better.

Why? What did he do? Did he make another mistake?

Mistake? No. He gave me a big help. You really married well, brother.

He got a modem and drank delicious sikhye (sweet rice drink).

But more than that, the few words of advice he gave after it was over freed Yoo-hyuns choice.

Yoo-hyun left Choi Jung Bok, who was bewildered, behind and stood on the teeing ground.

Swish.

He turned his head and took in the scenery of the 18th hole one more time.

Maybe it was because he wouldnt see it for a while.

The familiar view seemed new to him.

He felt a pleasant thrill in his chest, just like when he first enjoyed golf here.

He stood in front of the ball and swung his club softly, feeling the breeze.

His body was light, but his impact was as powerful as ever.

Clang.

The ball flew far away with a loud sound.

It didnt follow the trajectory he expected, but the result was not bad.

There were thousands of ways to reach the same goal.

He had to try different paths to find out which one was better.

Just like Yeontae-ri became meaningful to him.

Clap clap clap clap.

Nice shot!

He heard applause from everywhere and shouted loudly.

Guys, lets go to the sea after this. Ill treat you well today.

What are you talking about? Of course Ill pay.

Jeon Il-ho got angry and Nam Hee-woong joined him.

Ive been doing well in business lately. I have a lot of money. Lets go anywhere.

He suggested to the excited people.

Then lets decide based on the result of this hole.

Sounds good.

They all smiled happily.

At that moment, in the meeting room of Baekje Hotel.

Two men who rarely met faced each other across a luxurious wooden table.

Shin Myung-ho, the vice chairman, asked his nephew Shin Kyung-wook, the director, bluntly.

Shin Cheon-sik has already taken over more than half of the group. He must be trying to make Kyung-soo the next chairman. Can you handle that?

I wouldnt have come in if I didnt have confidence.

Shin Myung-hos eyebrows twitched at Shin Kyung-wooks firm answer.

He didnt see the kind-hearted fool who always gave in and backed off.

Rather, he saw a fierce beast that showed its teeth boldly.

You really hardened your heart.

Yes. Youll be on my side, right?

You have to show me your worth first.

As long as you keep your promise to me.

The beast in front of him was confident and relaxed.

His deep and clear eyes were impressive with charisma.

Shin Myung-ho said with a calm look.

Is the transfer return of a mere deputy that important?

Yes. Whether its a deputy or an employee, Ill take responsibility for anyone who works with me.

Ill only push you that far. But you have to prove yourself what you said.

Ill meet your expectations.

Shin Myung-ho smiled slightly as he saw Shin Kyung-wook smiling leisurely.

Itll be fun from now on.

It was when Shin Kyung-wook, who returned to Korea, was about to move actively.

A different movement was happening in the eastern US.

Yoo-hyun heard the news from an unexpected persons mouth.

-Its true. He came to the gathering of MBA degree dispatchers from the US. Hes Shin Kyung-soo, the director and a strong candidate for Hansungs chairman.

Park Seung-woo, who was spitting saliva as he spoke, nodded at Yoo-hyun.

Is that so?

-Huh? Your answer is not very satisfying. Is something wrong?

No. Im just thinking.

Shin Kyung-soo was in charge of corporate M&A and corporate restructuring at an American financial company.

He had established his position in that field with his bold and ruthless work.

He was also introduced several times by Korean media as a talent who dominated Wall Street.

-Yeah. Director Shin Kyung-soo looked like my age, but his charisma was no joke. The executives were all intimidated by his eyes.

He seems cold.

-Cold? He said we should get rid of all the unnecessary trash so that Hansung can become a top-class company and proposed a toast. What did he say?

Lets make a world ruled by 1% elites.

Yoo-hyun said bluntly and Park Seung-woo agreed vehemently.

-Yeah, yeah. How did you know?

I just thought of it because he sounded cold.

-Anyway, he seemed like an amazing person, but I didnt get along with him. I had goosebumps all over my arm while listening to him.

Why?

-It felt like he was going to cut me off. Haha.

He might have meant that.

Shin Kyung-soo was more sensitive than anyone else when it came to reading people.
