Real Man-Chapter 610:

It was when Yoo-hyun was looking at the schedule on the monitor.

Swoosh.

Kwon Se-jung, the deputy who touched the monitor with his finger, suddenly asked.

“Yoo-hyun, is this our internal schedule?”

“Yes.”

“Do you think the direction will be decided after the executive meeting?”

“Well, I don’t think the result will come out, but the outline will be clear.”

The executive meeting was a place to announce the route, not a place to decide the result.

The final result was likely to depend on the negotiation between the group operation director and vice president Shin Kyung-wook.

Kwon Se-jung, who understood Yoo-hyun’s answer, looked ahead.

“Then we should start preparing for the recruitment soon.”

“The recruitment of personnel for the Future Technology TF?”

“Yeah. We have to prepare in advance.”

“What if the result is not good?”

Yoo-hyun glanced at his colleague who gave a confident answer.

“I think they will recruit anyway, regardless of the result. The scope may change, though.”

“Why?”

“Do you think the group leader or the president will leave our vacancy alone? They will try to attract good talents somehow.”

“Kid, you have a good sense.”

Kwon Se-jung waved his hand at Yoo-hyun’s compliment.

“Do you say I have a good sense whenever I say something?”

“It’s true. It’s not easy to think and say that right away.”

“Whatever. What should we do first? I was going to contact Kim Young-gil, the manager, first.”

“Is the response to the short-term TF of the Innovation Strategy Office over?”

“They are doing well there, Hyun-woo and Jun-sik. I don’t think I have anything to do there anymore.”

Yoo-hyun asked incredulously at Kwon Se-jung, who shrugged his shoulders.

“If you have some free time, you should think about resting, why do you think about working first?”

“This is my hometown, after all.”

“What does that mean?”

“Just. I have a feeling that I want to contribute something before I leave. Don’t you feel the same way?”

“Well… I can’t deny that.”

The Future Technology TF was the first organization that Yoo-hyun, who was living a new life, led.

It was a temporary organization called TF, but the work was very diverse.

He planted the semiconductor display he wanted in the company, and now he is leading the internal innovation as he wants.

As he had been in sync for a long time, his affection for his colleagues grew deeper.

It was bitter and sweet to send away such an organization, even for a bigger cause.

Maybe because the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, Kwon Se-jung changed the subject.

“What should we consider when preparing for the recruitment?”

“Confidentiality should be the first priority, and we also need to get the consent of the organization. We also need to pay attention to the post-processing and personnel evaluation coordination issues.” ȓ

“It’s not easy.”

“But we’re better off because we’re a new organization. The incoming personnel won’t have to fight with the existing ones.”

“Fight? Is there an organization that does that?”

Kwon Se-jung, who was surprised and asked, was evaded by Yoo-hyun.

“Of course. There is.”

“Where?”

“A place you know well.”

Yoo-hyun, who left a meaningful answer, recalled what Park Doo-sik, the deputy manager, had said a while ago.

-I’ve given some hints to some of the people in the Group Strategy Office within the Group Operation Headquarters. The vice president will take action himself.

Now that the news had reached the people, it was time for a reaction.

Just as he was thinking about it, his phone rang as if it was a lie.

Ring.

As soon as he saw the name he had been waiting for, Yoo-hyun’s mouth curled up.

What if the know-how of the Group Strategy Office was added to the Innovation Strategy Office?

It was not just a matter of solving various problems within the Innovation Strategy Office, or accelerating the implementation of internal innovation proposals.

Through this, he could raise the level of the Innovation Strategy Office itself.

There were many excellent talents in the Group Strategy Office.

Yoo-hyun, who had just contacted him, was also one of those talents.

He was eager to contact him, so Yoo-hyun made an appointment right away.

And the next day came.

Yoo-hyun met Na Do-yeon, the deputy manager of the strategy department, at the customer service center on the first floor of Yeouido Center.

He could tell by the date and place of the appointment that she was in a hurry.

He met her cold eyes behind the round glasses and opened his mouth.

“I could have gone to Hansung Tower.”

“I just came out with an excuse for a business trip. I wanted to get some fresh air in Yeouido.”

“Then let’s walk along the Han River together.”

“No need. We’re not that close, are we?”

Na Do-yeon, the deputy manager, spoke coldly as if she had a prickly personality.

They weren’t close, but they had cheered for each other when they parted from the Group Strategy Office.

Yoo-hyun, who remembered the old memories, acted kindly.

“I’m sorry to hear that. We were on the same team once. We helped each other.”

“Then we became enemies.”

“Enemies? I’m in the display department. I had nothing to do with the Group Strategy Office.”

“I know, you supported the Innovation Strategy Office from behind.”

“…”

Lee Jun-il, the manager, only found out that Yoo-hyun was behind him at the end.

How did Na Do-yeon, the deputy manager, know that?

He swallowed his words for a moment and drank his coffee.

“There’s no need to hide it. No one knows except me.”

“It’s not hiding, I really don’t know.”

“Well, think what you want. I didn’t come here to argue with you.”

Na Do-yeon, the deputy manager, said something ominous.

“If you moved Ju Jae-o, the executive director, and threw out the entire Group Strategy Office, I might have thought differently.”

At that moment, Yoo-hyun spat out his coffee.

“Pfft!”

He almost caused a big disaster if he hadn’t bowed his head.

Swoosh.

Yoo-hyun wiped the coffee on his hand with a handkerchief and said.

“I’m sorry. I was distracted for a moment.”

“I’ve never seen you flustered before.”

“That’s because. I was surprised by the absurdity of what you said.”

As Yoo-hyun dodged, Na Do-yeon shrugged her shoulders.

“You don’t have to hide it. I’m the only one who knows.”

“Yes. I understand.”

He didn’t know how she knew, but there was no point in making the story bigger.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head, intending to end it here.

But Na Do-yeon, the deputy manager, was not done.

She vented out her frustration, even though she said she didn’t come here to argue.

“I don’t blame you for the dissolution of the Group Strategy Office. I suffered a lot because of it, but I won’t say anything about it.”

“…”

“I lost the automated system project that I was doing well, and the SG Bio project also failed, so all my hard work went down the drain, but it wasn’t your fault.”

Ouch.

Every word she spat out had thorns in it.

It felt more harsh because she said it with a calm expression.

She was different from the image he knew, she had a lot of grudges.

“It doesn’t seem like it’s not your fault.”

“It’s not. It’s not your fault, it’s because the higher-ups are stupid and made this mess. I don’t know why they made such ridiculous choices because of their greed.”

“I see…”

As Yoo-hyun trailed off, Na Do-yeon waved her hand.

“Don’t mind it. They only make me do useless analysis work at the Group Operation Headquarters, so I’m a bit sensitive.”

“You must be having a hard time there.”

“The team leader and the staff all flew away. I have to please the new people, how easy do you think that is?”

“It’s not easy…”

“Hey, don’t worry about it. I don’t blame you.”

She said she didn’t blame him, but she let out a lot of things.

‘Is this really the Na Do-yeon I knew before?’

Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes at her unusual appearance.

Maybe because she had released a lot of things inside her?

Na Do-yeon’s expression became much lighter.

She finally got to the point, after beating around the bush.

“I got a contact from the Innovation Strategy Office.”

“Did you?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. It’s your work.”

“You know everything.”

Yoo-hyun admitted the truth, and Na Do-yeon chuckled and nodded.

“I’ve been around for a while in this field. What’s the reason?”

“What reason?”

“The reason why you called us to the Innovation Strategy Office. Is it sympathy?”

“Of course not. It would be nice to work together.”

Yoo-hyun, who waved his hand, was pressed further by Na Do-yeon.

She knew a lot, so she had a broad perspective.

“Weren’t you dissatisfied? You didn’t like our team.”

“It was a matter of direction, I never doubted your abilities.”

“Abilities…”

The Group Strategy Office’s strategy department was not a very good memory for Yoo-hyun.

He had been discriminated against and ignored.

Not only personal problems, but also chronic organizational problems prevented them from producing productive results.

Nevertheless, Yoo-hyun trusted the individual abilities of the Group Strategy Office’s staff.

That was proven by the history of Hansung’s development so far.

“It was thanks to the strategy department that Hansung Electronics’ phones could enter the global market. And you were the one who worked there.”

“That’s old news.”

“Anyone who hears that would think you’re very old.”

“Very old… I’m not. Ahem. I’m young.” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Na Do-yeon, who answered awkwardly, coughed.

This was also a new side of Na Do-yeon.

“You look very young.”

Yoo-hyun held back his laughter and acted kindly, and Na Do-yeon changed the subject, embarrassed.

“Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, I’m frustrated with what I’m doing right now.”

“In what way?”

“First of all, the phone naming strategy is a mess. They keep changing it, and there’s no consistency, so it looks behind. It’s also not good that the numbering is lower than the model.”

“That’s true.”

“Channel Watch was okay, but it was bad that they used a crude OS. I think the scalability is low, so they have to completely flip the next version.”

Na Do-yeon pointed out some very important details that seemed trivial.

It was because of this lack of detail that Hansung Electronics couldn’t make it in the smartphone market.

They were the global third, but the gap with Apple and Ilsung, the first and second, was too big.

Even worse, they were losing money, so there were rumors everywhere that Hansung would go bankrupt because of smartphones.

Of course, there was room for excuses.

“That’s because the foreign executives pushed for it. We opposed it at the Innovation Strategy Office.”

“Really? If you had suggested a profitable direction, would you have stuck to it until the end?”

“Do you think you could have changed it?”

“Of course. Isn’t that our role? They’re not the owners, how can they force a business that doesn’t make money.”

“That’s right.”

It was such a clear answer that his head nodded involuntarily.

Vice President Shin Kyung-wook suggested the direction well, but in the end, he had to execute it with the support from below.

The Innovation Strategy Office still lacked the experience to do that.

Without experience, it was hard to convince the other party, no matter how right he was.

What if someone like Na Do-yeon joined?

There might be some clashes, but the synergy would be much greater.

Yoo-hyun was more and more attracted by her insight and experience.

As the atmosphere was ripe, Yoo-hyun made an honest proposal.

“I think it would be great if you could come to the Innovation Strategy Office and change it.”

“Me? Do you have someone to back me up?”

“Of course. We will support you for sure.”

“The organization is not made by the vice president alone. Do you think the people below will clap and like it?”

Yoo-hyun answered honestly to Na Do-yeon’s question.

“Probably not.”

“Right. There will be a lot of discrimination. There will be a lot of conflicts, as much as we fought as enemies.”

Na Do-yeon saw the part that Yoo-hyun had expected.

On the contrary, it meant that she had thought about it enough.

In other words, if she had no intention at all, she wouldn’t have contacted Yoo-hyun in the first place.
