Real Man

Chapter 397:

The team leaders, Yoon Byung-kwan and Na Han-eul, joined hands.

They immediately made a counter-proposal to Yoo-hyun after reaching an agreement.

They suggested to proceed with the second working-level meeting right away.

It was a situation that put a lot of pressure on him, but surprisingly, Yoo-hyun readily agreed.

Sure. Lets meet tomorrow. I hope you have everything sorted out by then.

You should withdraw this ridiculous proposal as soon as possible.

Yoon Byung-kwan glared at him fiercely when the end-of-work song played.

Yoo-hyun, who was packing his stuff, said.

Okay. Lets talk about it tomorrow.

What?

I have something important to do today. Se-jung, lets go.

Huh? Oh.

In front of the two team leaders, Kwon Se-jung quietly got up.

He was going to see a play for the first time since he joined the company.

As he walked down the office corridor, Kwon Se-jungs face was full of worry.

Yoo-hyun, are you sure this will work out as you said?

If it doesnt, well make it work.

Those people are skilled, even if they have bad personalities.

As Kwon Se-jung said, they were not team leaders for nothing.

If they had to argue about the correct answer with them?

Yoo-hyun, who lacked expertise in TV, would have a hard time beating them.

But they didnt want the correct answer.

They just wanted to oppose for the sake of opposing.

Yoo-hyun couldnt lose in such an office politics fight.

He said with confidence.

Dont worry. Things will work out as they should. By the way, whats the title of the play were going to see?

Liar.

I guess its about deceiving others. Thats not good. Tsk tsk.

Kwon Se-jung shook his head as he listened.

Yoon Byung-kwan clenched his fist as he watched Yoo-hyun walk away.

Ill crush him completely.

All he could think of was teaching the rookie a lesson.

He was an expert in destroying his opponents in meetings.

The next day, afternoon, 13th floor conference room.

At the second working-level meeting that was hastily arranged, he could see the result.

On one side of the two rows of tables were the mobile team, and on the other side were the other two teams.

Whether it was by number of people, rank, or work position, it was obvious that Yoo-hyuns side was at a disadvantage.

But the atmosphere was flowing strangely.

Yoo-hyun looked very relaxed, and the people sitting on the opposite side looked impatient.

Hmph.

Yoon Byung-kwan clenched his teeth and prepared for battle again before charging in.

Ultra-high resolution, wide viewing angle, ultra-slim, narrow bezel. Yeah, theyre all good. But if you want to do as you say, you have to make a premium product that applies all four technologies. Isnt that right?

Yes. Thats right.

As Yoo-hyun nodded his head, Yoon Byung-kwan shouted and attacked him.

Is that even possible? Does that make any sense?

Whats so difficult about it?

Yoo-hyun unraveled Yoon Byung-kwans trick with one question.

He was the one who proposed it, but he had been answering all along since earlier.

He didnt even know what situation he was in now.

Dont you know that to meet the retina condition you proposed, the TV has to be at least 4K resolution?

No. I know that and I told you.

Geez. The client cant send us 4K video. Whats the point of that? Is this a joke?

Swoosh.

But that too was completely cleared by Yoo-hyuns gesture.

Jang Joon-sik pressed a button on his laptop and displayed a screen.

There was exactly what contradicted Yoon Byung-kwans words.

First of all, this is the opinion of the pre-production TV team at Gimpo factory that came out in the newsletter. The technology to upscale FHD input video to 4K has already been developed and has at least twice the resolution effect compared to the original video in this case.

But thats not real 4K. Are you going to sell fake products to customers?

Yoo-hyun lightly dismissed his blatant provocation and snapped his fingers again.

Then a report came out that matched his question.

The client wants to preempt 4K with premium products. There is also a price advantage in this case, and this is what customers want first. By the way, this data is from the TV product planning team.

Thats different. And more importantly, this is technically

Yoon Byung-kwan stuttered at the clear source.

Kwon Se-jung, who was watching him, stuck out his tongue.

He deliberately led him to show this data.

No matter how good Yoo-hyun was, he couldnt possibly know everything about TV.

He found a weak point that would make the other side flustered and guided the conversation with that.

The fact that he covered all the contents with a few data was proof of that.

And then hell show this data next.

Kwon Se-jung predicted the next move accurately by watching Yoo-hyuns actions.

He had learned Yoo-hyuns series of actions by body rather than by head, as he had been following him around.

As expected, a page that would shut up Yoon Byung-kwans mouth came up.

Technology? The technology to make ultra-high resolution panels in LCD factories has been secured by the ultra-high resolution TF. It is currently being expanded and deployed to IT and TV. You should know this, since you planned it yourself, right?

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, and eyes of confusion were fixed on Yoo-hyun.

Na Han-eul, the IT team leader who had been stubbornly making a face even after being crushed once, was no exception.

Yoo-hyun leaned back slightly as if inviting him in.

Swoosh.

The fish named Na Han-eul bit the bait that Yoo-hyun threw.

I admit that retina and SLC (wide viewing angle) are possible since they are already existing technologies. Slim type is also possible if you give up some brightness. But its hard to combine narrow bezel with them.

Suddenly, the logo issue was taken for granted and only technical issues were discussed.

In order to catch a fish properly, timing was the most important thing.

Hmm.

Yoo-hyun hesitated for the first time, and Yoon Byung-kwan, who was waiting for an opportunity, rushed in again.

Yeah. Narrow bezel is impossible. You have to put the circuit part into the panel to make it slim. But then the bezel (border part) inevitably becomes thicker. How are you going to apply all these?

Why dont we just do what were good at instead of unifying these

Na Han-eul was about to follow up on his words when Yoo-hyun lifted his fishing rod.

So youre saying that ultra-high resolution, SLC, and ultra-slim are possible?

Huh?

Didnt you two say that everything was done except for the narrow bezel? Lets just stick to the first plan with three technologies. Ill take care of the report.

Thud, thud.

Manager Yoon Byung-kwan, who realized he was hooked too late, rushed in.

No, no, thats not what I meant. Then why did you bring up the narrow bezel?

I thought we were not paying enough attention to it. By the way, Ilsung is developing a large TV panel with a 5-millimeter bezel.

Yoo-hyun threw a bigger bait, feeling unsatisfied with ending it like this.

Manager Yoon Byung-kwan, who came from the product planning team, would not miss this.

Sure enough, his eyes widened.

What? Ilsung? Are you sure?

Just for your reference. Ill propose a unified plan with the first three items, and report that the narrow bezel is impossible for TV and IT due to technical limitations.

It was the moment when Yoo-hyun tried to get up.

The people who should have gotten up first and left immediately grabbed Yoo-hyun.

Hey, wait. You have to sort out the narrow bezel part too.

Then shall we make it short? Theres not much time left until the end of work.

Yoo-hyun smiled and sat down again.

After the meeting, there was a loud noise in the office of the Innovative Product TF.

The source of the noise was the TV team leader and IT team leader seats, each with an independent table by the window.

Hey, how can you say that? What the hell did you do in the meeting?

He couldnt hear the details from afar, but it was clear that the team leaders were very angry.

Team leader Choi Min-hee, who tilted her head, approached Yoo-hyun, who was walking in from afar.

What happened in the working-level meeting that made them so angry?

I dont know. Is there a problem?

No, its just that the other team leaders are mad.

As team leader Choi Min-hee turned her head toward the team leader seats, the timing was perfect and the music for leaving work rang.

Jang Jun-sik, who had just arrived and put his laptop on his seat, ran over to Yoo-hyun as soon as he saw him standing.

Yoo-hyun smiled and put his hand on his shoulder.

Team leader, dont be like that. How about some tripe today?

Tripe?

He worked hard to prepare the data.

Yoo-hyun winked and Jang Jun-sik blinked his eyes.

Huh? Oh, yes.

He looked completely out of it, unlike his usual self.

Two steps behind him, assistant manager Kwon Se-jung, who was standing in front of his seat, was the same.

Why are you like that again? And why are you like that again?

Team leader Choi Min-hee asked assistant manager Kwon Se-jung, who came to his senses late.

Oh, nothing. Im just too busy.

Why? Did Han make a mistake in the meeting?

He made a mistake.

Assistant manager Kwon Se-jung looked at Yoo-hyun with mixed feelings.

Team leader Choi Min-hee was a leader who still knew how to listen well.

She could tell by the fact that she put everything aside and headed to the tripe restaurant at Yoo-hyuns suggestion.

Inside a tripe restaurant near the company after work.

She showed her listening skills at that place where she had all the members of Part 1 in front of her.

Really? Assistant manager Kwon, youre really good at telling stories. So? What happened next?

Team leader Choi Min-hees active attitude made assistant manager Kwon Se-jung talk faster.

When Han said that

Did he really do that there?

Thats not all. Well, he blocked what Manager Yoon said and

It really sounded realistic.

Team leader Choi Min-hee opened her eyes wide and section chief Kim Young-gil also leaned forward.

Wow. Amazing.

As an exclamation burst out of their mouths, assistant manager Kwon Se-jung became more excited and talked more.

It was exactly like Yoo-hyun knew him as a talkative colleague.

He looked good with his shoulders down, but it was too absurd to go on like this, so Yoo-hyun intervened.

Hey, when did I do that?

You did. Ive never seen those two annoying managers lower their tails like that.

It was amazing, assistant manager.

Jang Jun-sik also joined in with his ears flapping.

It was already a foregone conclusion.

When Manager Yoon and Na got up impatiently, Han said one thing.

What did he say?

He stretched out his hand like this and said, Then lets make it short.

He even acted and imitated his voice, leaving out Yoo-hyun, who was right next to him.

Hahaha. Really? The atmosphere must have been crazy.

Team leader Choi Min-hee slapped Yoo-hyuns back and liked it.

She seemed to have asked assistant manager Kwon to talk at first, but now she seemed to enjoy it more.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and ate some tripe.

Assistant manager Kwon Se-jung naturally blended in with the team.

He poured drinks first and actively participated in the conversation.

By the way, whats the story about the pigs head that comes up every time Jun-sik talks?

Oh, you dont know, assistant manager Kwon. Actually

Assistant manager Kwon Se-jung burst into laughter after hearing the details from section chief Kim Young-gil.

Puhahaha. Jun-sik is amazing.

Im sorry. Ill drink a lot of penalty drinks.

Jang Jun-sik tried to overdo it again, and Yoo-hyun tackled him.

Are you trying to get drunk and cause trouble again? I think it was right here last time?

Ah. Assistant manager, please forget about that.

Jang Jun-sik buried his head on the table as assistant manager Kwon Se-jung asked again.

What happened then?

When I first drank with Jun-sik

Puhahaha.

Assistant manager Kwon Se-jung laughed again as he heard the story.

He looked much happier than usual, and the atmosphere of the drinking party became more lively.
