Real Man-Chapter 824

A few days later.

Yoo-hyun and Jeong Da-hye went to work together at Future Tower after spending the weekend.

They felt excited in the elevator going up to the office, as it had been a long time.

Jeong Da-hye asked.

“You look so eager, don’t you?”

“It’s been a really long time.”

“I know. I wonder how everyone has changed.”

Yoo-hyun was also very curious.

Creak.

As they opened the door to the 20th floor office, they saw no sign of the employees.

They must have not arrived yet.

Did they come too early?

Yoo-hyun was about to hide his disappointment and turn on the office lights when it happened.

Bang! Pop! Pop! Pop!

He was startled by the sudden sound of fireworks.

“Wow.”

“Wha, what is this…”

Jeong Da-hye looked at the colorful confetti flying in the air with a bewildered expression.

Then they heard a familiar chorus of voices.

“Welcome back, our two CEOs!”

Jang Manbok, Won Gijun, Gong Hyunjun, Lee Jiyeon.

The four team leaders and the employees who filled the third floor cheered.

“Woohoo!”

Where did they come from?

There must have been at least a hundred of them.

The employees from the 19th and 18th floors also seemed to have come up.

There was also a banner fluttering.

-Han Yoo-hyun, Jeong Da-hye CEOs, thank you for your hard work. We love you.

“Thank… you, really.”

With moist eyes, Jeong Da-hye stepped back and Yoo-hyun looked around.

He felt like there was someone missing.

That’s when it happened.

Rumble.

They heard the sound of wheels rolling and a clinking voice.

“CEO Han, who are you looking for?”

“Team leader Yoon.”

Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes when he saw Yoon Bomi.

She was pulling a metal cart with a five-tier cake that he had only seen at weddings.

He could feel the sincerity from the welcome messages and the cute decorations on each tier.

“That’s quite a scale.”

Yoon Bomi winked at the surprised Yoo-hyun.

“You gave us a generous bonus, didn’t you? This is the least we can do.”

“Ehehe, I wish I could have given you a hundred-tier cake.”

“Hahaha!”

Jang Manbok joined in and the employees laughed loudly.

They could feel the lively atmosphere of the employees in the laughter.

Gong Hyunjun, who had been responsible and leading this place in the meantime, pointed at the cake and said.

“What are you two doing? You have to blow out the candles.”

The candles were flickering on top of the five-tier cake.

This is something.

Yoo-hyun scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Jeong Da-hye.

She looked up at the sky with a grateful expression and blinked her eyes.

He felt like he knew how she felt.

Thankful, proud, and touched.

He also felt the warm emotions from his precious people.

‘It’s been a while, my people.’

Squeeze.

He held her hand and Jeong Da-hye nodded at him.

They blew the wind towards the candles.

“Whew!”

Clap clap clap clap clap clap.

The office was filled with applause.

Yoo-hyun and Jeong Da-hye had happy smiles on their faces.

Yoo-hyun greeted the employees who had worked hard in Korea.

He exchanged a few words with the unfamiliar employees as well, making eye contact.

He didn’t just ask how they were, but also gave them gifts one by one.

As he did so, time flew by, and soon it was time for his appointment.

“It’s already 3 o’clock.”

Yoo-hyun muttered as he looked at the clock in the CEO’s office, where he had changed into a white shirt.

Jeong Da-hye approached him in front of the full-length mirror and asked.

“Do you look reluctant?”

“I am. We should have had a dinner party on a day like this.”

“We can do it next time. We can’t help it today.”

Swoosh.

She looked into his eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Yoo-hyun closed his eyes as he felt the strong scent of lavender.

He offered his lips to Jeong Da-hye, who looked incredulous.

“This is the office.”

“I just closed my eyes.”

“Liar.”

She pouted her lips and tied his navy tie.

At first, her touch was awkward, but now he could feel the love from her skillful fingers.

‘I used to push her away carelessly.’

He had refused when Jeong Da-hye tried to tie his tie.

He didn’t know that there was love in such small gestures.

What if he had appreciated her feelings?

Instead of making a useless regret, Yoo-hyun gently stroked her hair.

“I’ll do well and come back.”

“Don’t be nervous in front of those great people.”

“They are the ones who should be nervous. A lot of things will change from now on.”

He was talking about the CEOs of the conglomerates who would attend the Federation of Korean Industries.

His eyes sparkled.

Yoo-hyun left the Future Tower and got into the luxury car that was waiting for him in front of the building.

It wasn’t far from Gwanghwamun to Yeouido, but he had no reason to refuse the other’s favor.

He felt like he had gone back to the past as he sat on the soft back seat.

‘He was so excited when he got his first car with a driver.’

That was when he became an executive, something he had always dreamed of.

He felt like he had everything in the world, but his joy was short-lived.

His life became miserable in the fierce competition where he could fall at any moment if he couldn’t endure.

He stepped on his colleagues to climb up, and bowed his head to the chairman as his master.

What was he so desperate for back then?

Beep.

Yoo-hyun, who was briefly lost in his thoughts, picked up his phone.

He felt the change in his position as he saw the name of Shin Hyun-ho, the former chairman, on the screen.

He was someone he couldn’t even touch his shadow in the past, but now he was a comfortable acquaintance.

Yoo-hyun answered the phone cheerfully.

“Yes, chairman. What made you call me?”

-I’m curious what you’re thinking of going to the Korea Business Leaders Association.

“As I told you, I’m just visiting to greet the senior businessmen.”

-Greet? You should have come to me first, why are you going to Chairman Choi? And don’t you think I don’t know that you and Kyung-wook are preparing something behind the scenes?

A hoarse voice rang out from the other side of the phone without a pause.

Yoo-hyun took the phone away from his ear for a moment and chuckled.

“Chairman, you seem to have become very generous.”

-Generous? What are you talking about? Just tell me the reason.

“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.”

-I’ll send you a car, so come right after it’s over.

“I’ll contact you after checking the situation of the other chairmen.”

-Hmph.

You want me to wait more?

Shin Hyun-ho, the former chairman, hung up the phone in disbelief, but he couldn’t force him.

Yoo-hyun kept his promise to help Hansung’s success in Japan.

Thanks to him, his chronic illness improved and his health got better.

He had to endure his frustration even if it was as big as a chimney.

But would he be okay among those old bastards with bad temper?

He felt worried as he saw Yoo-hyun’s name on the screen.

“He’ll get a lot of nagging.”

Shin Hyun-ho, the former chairman, scrolled through his contacts and saw the names of the Korea Business Leaders Association members.

He called the most picky man among them.

At that time.

Yoo-hyun, who had just crossed the Han River, looked at the Korea Business Leaders Association event guide.

His name was also on the paper that only the attendees could see.

-Keynote speaker: Yoo-hyun Han, CEO of River

Yoo-hyun was invited as a keynote speaker before the start of the Korea Business Leaders Association meeting.

This was thanks to the recommendation of Chairman Shin Kyung-wook.

Thanks to him, Yoo-hyun got to stand in a place where economic research institute directors or famous consulting firm CEOs would take.

However, he didn’t mention to the media why he came or what he was going to say.

He only announced that he would attend.

Was that why?

Clank.

Reporters swarmed in front of Yoo-hyun as he got out of the car.

“Mr. Yoo-hyun Han, what is the topic of your keynote speech today?”

“Why did you come to the Korea Business Leaders Association event?”

“Is it true that River is more on the side of large corporations than venture companies?”

Buzz.

The Korea Business Leaders Association event, which was always quiet, became noisy because of Yoo-hyun.

He made his presence felt even before it started.

It was as good as achieving his goal.

Yoo-hyun smiled and answered them as he entered the 50th floor of the Korea Business Leaders Association building with the guidance of the security guards.

The speakers usually stayed in the waiting room until the time of the speech, and showed their faces according to the schedule.

It was unprecedented for an outsider to sit in a place where the top 10 domestic company chairmen chatted.

But this time was different.

The chairmen, who were curious, came to Yoo-hyun first.

Thanks to that, Yoo-hyun was able to enter the VIP meeting room on the 40th floor without any special effort.

Creak.

A man greeted Yoo-hyun as he opened the door and entered.

“Who is this? The protagonist who got a camera baptism out of nowhere?”

“Hello, Chairman Kang Bongseok.”

The man with a wide face, small eyes, and a fairly large build was Kang Bongseok, the chairman of Hyunil Automobile Group.

He was the third in the business hierarchy, and he winked at Shin Kyung-wook, the chairman who sat next to him. freēwēbnovel.com

“Chairman Shin, this is the friend you cherish so much, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Haha. He looks even better in person. He reminds me of my younger days.”

Kang Bongseok, who laughed loudly, was rebuked by a woman who sat across the table.

“Aren’t you exaggerating too much? Where do you see that?”

“It’s true. My grandson looks just like this.”

“Oh really? That’s because of your daughter-in-law’s genes.”

The woman who showed her sharp tongue was Jang Yeonkyung.

She was the first female CEO in the country, and the chairman of Yurim Group, which dominated the domestic fashion and cosmetics market.

She was the fifth in the business hierarchy.

The two people who bickered like siblings were calmed down by Seo Jae-hwan, the chairman of LJ Distribution Group, which had the dominance of the domestic offline and online distribution network.

“You two seem to be excited because a young friend came, but please restrain yourselves.”

“Hmm.”

The two chairmen didn’t flinch because of his words, who was the fourth in the business hierarchy.

There was one person who sat at the top seat.

Choi Jincheol, the chairman of the Korea Business Leaders Association and the first in the business hierarchy, the chairman of Ilsung Group, was staring at Yoo-hyun quietly.

The atmosphere became tense because of his weight.

He was short, but his body looked solid, and his eyes were very sharp.

He had a strong charisma that suited a person who had ruled at the top for a long time.

If it was before?

He would have shrunk in front of Chairman Choi’s dignified expression.

But strangely enough, Yoo-hyun’s heart wasn’t shaken much.

‘I’m not here as a subordinate, what.’

He even felt comfortable.

Yoo-hyun smiled calmly and greeted him with his eyes.

“…”

Oh, look at him.

Chairman Choi’s lips twitched slightly for a moment.

He had never met Yoo-hyun, but he knew a lot about him.

Was it when Hansung’s succession structure was suddenly overturned?

He heard about the background of Shin Kyungsoo’s sinking and Shin Kyung-wook’s rise, and he first encountered the name of that young friend.

He was just a section chief at that time.

The more he heard, the more absurd his career was, so he told his son, Chairman Choi Minyong, to meet him once.

But his son got rejected when he offered to recruit him.

The old man who retired because of that, how much he teased him…

Since then, every time he met that stiff old man, he mentioned Yoo-hyun, and he invested 500 billion won in the venture foundation, not to mention, and now he asked him to take a good look at him.

-Don’t be angry and step on the young sprout with passion, and listen to his story. It will help you too.

How dare you try to teach me!

Honestly, he was annoyed, but on the other hand, he was curious.
