Real Man-Chapter 820
Chapter 820
“What do you think you’re doing?”
The young woman with sunglasses snapped back at Yoo-hyun, who questioned her in English.
“How dare you do this to our Alex? He’s in pain. Apologize right now!”
“What are you talking about? Your dog bit someone because you let go of his leash!”
“What nonsense? Our Alex never bites anyone.”
Yoo-hyun was incredulous at the shameless sight.
‘They say they train their pets well in Sweden.’
He sarcastically held out the torn collar.
“Look what your dog did. Are you going to keep making excuses?”
“What, are you raising your voice at me? Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t care. You should apologize right now.”
“Whatever.”
The woman snorted and took out her phone, but Jeong Da-hye stopped Yoo-hyun.
“Yoo-hyun, it’s okay. You’re not hurt. Don’t waste your time on someone who won’t listen.”
“Wait a minute. I still want an apology.”
How could he let this go?
If it was his own safety, he might have done so.
But this was about the person he loved.
He couldn’t just back down.
Whoosh.
As he turned around, men in black suits rushed towards him.
They heard the woman’s words and approached Yoo-hyun threateningly.
“You hit the dog unprovoked.”
“What are you talking about? The dog bit someone first.”
“Do you have any proof? There’s always a cause for an effect. If you keep insisting, we’ll have to take legal action.”
“Ha! Are you kidding me?”
What? Legal action?
He couldn’t believe the audacity of the man.
They were asking for it.
Yoo-hyun was about to swing his arm when it happened.
“What’s going on here?”
A police officer who was patrolling the park intervened, and witnesses came forward.
The woman who was holding the child with the pinwheel spoke up.
“That lady was just standing there, and the dog attacked her. I saw it clearly.”
“That’s right. It’s also recorded on the camcorder.”
Her husband showed the camcorder.
As the clear evidence came out, the crowd buzzed.
“No wonder. Look at her torn clothes. She could have been seriously hurt.”
“The dog owner is too much. She should apologize no matter what.”
“Check the dog’s history. This might not be the first time.”
In an instant, all the arrows pointed at the woman with sunglasses.
The burly men who looked like her bodyguards were embarrassed by the public opinion.
They realized the situation was getting out of hand.
The woman who was stroking the dog’s head stood up.
“Let’s just settle this here.”
“Settle what? You should apologize sincerely.”
“Sigh.”
The woman sighed and took out some bills from her wallet.
“This should be more than enough to compensate for your torn clothes. Are we done?”
Thwack.
He slapped her hand away and glared at her.
“You’ve got to be kidding me. You think money can solve everything?”
“Is it not enough for you? Then take some more. Gereiro.”
“Yes, madam.”
The woman nodded and the man who was talking to the police took out a thick envelope of money from his pocket.
He seemed to be used to this kind of thing.
But unfortunately for him, the other party was Yoo-hyun.
He refused the money in one stroke and gestured to the woman.
“That’s enough. You, the dog owner, apologize yourself.”
“What did you say?”
“This is your last chance. Or do you want to try your luck with the law?”
Yoo-hyun’s ultimatum and the eyes of everyone were on the woman.
Why wouldn’t he back down?
He should have compromised by now, after receiving the money.
She was flustered by Yoo-hyun’s hardline attitude, something she had never experienced before.
She couldn’t avoid the situation now, even with her connections in the police.
There were too many witnesses.
And she couldn’t hold on any longer.
If this turned into a legal issue?
Alex, who had already been labeled as a ‘potentially dangerous dog’, might be euthanized.
She couldn’t let that happen to Alex, who was more precious to her than family.
That’s why.
“So…rry.”
She had no choice but to spit out the word of apology.
The owner of Alex and the heiress of Europe’s largest investment company bowed her pride for the first time in her life in front of a stranger.
But Yoo-hyun wasn’t satisfied with that.
“If you’re going to apologize, do it properly. And promise to prevent this from happening again.”
“…”
That bastard!
She trembled with rage and clenched her eyes.
A moment later.
The woman who had settled the situation shivered with humiliation.
‘How dare he touch my pride.’
Crack.
She clenched her fists and bit her lip, then spoke to the butler in a black suit.
“Do you have the business card of that man?”
“Yes.”
“Make him pay dearly for his insolence. I can’t stand it.”
Her eyes glowed coldly.
She was determined to get back at him.
Yoo-hyun, who had finished his schedule in Sweden, returned to France and took care of his precious connections.
The first place he visited was the Chanel headquarters.
He had met many people through Laura Parker, who had helped him a lot with his expansion into Europe.
Yoo-hyun wanted to express his gratitude sincerely.
But what was this?
She thanked him first when they met in the vice president’s office.
“What did I do?”
Yoo-hyun was flustered and waved his hand, but she was determined.
“Steve, thanks to your choice, we successfully launched the Chanel 100th anniversary design. If it weren’t for you, we would have hesitated to transform.”
“That’s right. If you hadn’t chosen me, my design would never have seen the light of day.”
Alexander Lima, who decorated the Chanel 100th anniversary with his floral design, agreed.
What did Yoo-hyun do?
‘All I did was choose what they told me to…’
He had seen the floral design on the Chanel bag before.
But he didn’t know if it would suit the 100th anniversary design.
He just relied on his experience and chose what he liked.
Yoo-hyun admitted honestly.
“I have no talent for design. I was just lucky.”
“Even so, no one would choose the work with the lowest internal evaluation. And even more so, no one would confidently stake their eye for art.”
“Eye for art? Oh…”
-I will stake my eye for art on this artistic work that connects the 100 years of history and the future of Chanel.
How did he say that with such confidence?
He thought that the choice would ultimately be up to Laura Parker, so he answered without any pressure.
Ironically, that one sentence changed everything.
“Steve, thank you for making the right choice at the crucial moment.”
“I’m really grateful too. As I promised, I will never forget this favor.”
“…”
Laura Parker’s warm words and Alexander’s grateful eyes sank deep into Yoo-hyun’s heart.
Yoo-hyun, who had nothing to do with design, was praised for his eye for art.
And that too, by the superstars of the design world.
“I should be the one thanking you. Sincerely.”
Yoo-hyun smiled warmly at the two people who regarded his trivial opinion as an eye for art and shared the credit of success with him.
Laura Parker was not just a talker.
She promised to support Reverb continuously.
Alexander Lima also came up with various ways to collaborate with Reverb.
Was that why?
Perez Bago greeted Yoo-hyun with a big smile in the Reverb European branch office.
“You are amazing. You came to Europe to give us this surprise gift.”
“Ah, yes. Well…”
“Haha. I was so excited when I got a call from Laura. Reverb reviews linked to the Chanel official website. Wow! No other company could do that.”
With a round face, thin-framed glasses, a big nose, and squinty eyes.
Perez Bago, who dressed himself in luxury as the CEO of the world’s best fashion magazine, had a very pleasant personality.
The arrogance of a noble family that he felt when he first saw him now felt like a refreshing confidence.
“Perez, you’ve been very good to us.”
“That’s right. It’s not easy to lead both Bago and Reverb. But if I can grow the European fashion market, I’m willing to devote myself. That’s why I…”
He did well enough to brag.
But the problem was that he talked too much.
It felt like it would be quite noisy to work with him.
‘Da-hye, you must have had a hard time.’
Jeong Da-hye, who received Yoo-hyun’s sympathetic gaze, chuckled.
The atmosphere, which was friendly, froze at Perez Bago’s next remark.
“Perez, what do you mean by that? Zalando rejected our proposal?”
Jeong Da-hye, who was confused, asked Perez Bago to confirm.
“That’s right. They said they wouldn’t link with Reverb’s reviews.”
“You should have told us sooner.”
“It didn’t seem like a done deal just by meeting them. I’m talking to their CEO now.”
Zalando was the largest online shopping mall in Europe, holding 50 percent of the European market.
Since their main sales were clothing, they had a close relationship with Perez Bago.
Perez Bago’s words were trustworthy enough, but he didn’t want to stop like this.
Jeong Da-hye pressed on.
“Still, that’s not right. You give up without even trying?”
“Elise, that’s not what I mean. It means there’s no answer in a head-on confrontation.”
“Then what?”
“Hmm… Steve, I’m going to have a business party in a few days. Can you attend?”
Perez Bago, who was thinking hard, suddenly looked at Yoo-hyun.
“Attending is no problem. But why?”
“There’s a very important person coming there.”
“An important person?”
“The biggest investor of Zalando. If we can change his mind, this matter will be settled in a big way.”
Perez Bago’s eyes became serious.
Clang.
Jeong Da-hye, who came out of the office, said to Yoo-hyun.
“I’m sorry. I thought everything was settled.”
“Why are you sorry? Things can get tangled up suddenly.”
“Still. This delayed your return to Korea.”
“I’m happy to be with you quietly. It’ll be noisy again when we go to Korea.”
He had already been exposed to the media, and he had also achieved a big success in Japan.
As the representative of the first Korean internet company to influence the US and Europe, the media wouldn’t leave him alone.
They were counting the days until Yoo-hyun’s return and contacting him.
“There are a lot of people looking for you. By the way, are you okay with this?” freewebnoveℓ.com
“Attending the business party?”
“Not that. The Merzon AB that Perez mentioned earlier.”
Merzon AB.
A European investment company founded by the Merzon family, which owns 30 percent of Zalando’s shares.
The company, which has a huge influence on IT companies in Europe, runs on an owner-centric management like the Korean chaebols, and has a principle of succession of management rights.
It was a natural thing in Sweden, where there was no inheritance tax.
