Real Man

Chapter 149:

Chapter 149

Yoo-hyun spoke in the warm atmosphere.

“Thank you for your proposal, Senior Jang, but Jaehee is still young. I hope you can give us some more time.”

“What? Oh… I was too selfish. I understand that Jaehee might feel that way.”

Senior Jang Hyemin nodded as if she understood.

Then, Han Jaehee hastily passed the food and answered.

“No, no. I really want to do it.”

“Jaehee, it’s okay. I think I’ve been putting too much pressure on you. Ugh…”

Yoo-hyun barely dodged Han Jaehee’s heel stomping on his foot with his quick reflexes.

But he couldn’t avoid the following kicks.

He barely suppressed the scream that came out involuntarily.

Han Jaehee, who raised his head, growled at Yoo-hyun in a low voice.

“Oppa, what are you doing? Are you trying to ruin my future?”

“You said you hated it yesterday?”

“I was crazy. Crazy. I always become a different woman when I drink.”

“…”

Yoo-hyun’s face turned blank and he closed his mouth.

On the other hand, Han Jaehee smiled brightly and looked at Senior Jang Hyemin.

“I really want to try it. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.”

“Yes. Your license will also be included in this product, so you won’t lose anything.”

“Of course. Of course. That was my dream.”

What are you talking about?

Dream my ass.

When did you whine that you didn’t want to do it?

Yoo-hyun looked at Han Jaehee with a dumbfounded expression.

He was quick-witted, but he had no clue about women’s hearts.

Especially Han Jaehee’s mind was impossible to read.

Senior Jang Hyemin looked at Han Jaehee with a pleased smile.

“As I said before, I will also recommend you for the Hansung scholarship. As soon as you graduate from college, I will pull you in.”

“Graduate?”

“Yes. You have to graduate. You are good enough for that, aren’t you?”

Han Jaehee nodded vigorously at Senior Jang Hyemin’s question.

“…Of course. Of course.”

“Actually, I also worked while I was in college. I know it’s not easy.”

“As expected…Senior Jang, you have been through a lot.”

“Well, it’s all laughable after it’s over.”

“I want to be like that too.”

Yoo-hyun felt annoyed as he listened.

He had to add one more person to the list of those he couldn’t understand.

How far was Senior Jang Hyemin going to cosplay as a commoner?

If she was going to do that, she shouldn’t have come to this expensive restaurant in the first place.

He felt something was off and tilted his head.

But Han Jaehee was different.

She didn’t care at all.

His sister was smitten by the elegance that she felt from Senior Jang Hyemin.

Seeing Han Jaehee like that, Senior Jang Hyemin spoke with a tender expression.

“I think of the past a lot when I see you, Jaehee.”

“Me too. I felt like Senior Jang was my sister somehow.”

“Really? Call me sister then.”

“Then, sister, please call me Jaehee too.”

Senior Jang Hyemin smiled broadly at Han Jaehee’s words.

“Yes? Oh…It’s awkward, but I’ll try. Jaehee.”

“Sister.”

“Hahaha, good. Are we sisters now?”

“Yes.”

The conversation went in a ridiculous direction when the two met.

Yoo-hyun remembered Senior Jang Hyemin’s personality as someone who was not easy to get close to.

She hated revealing her status as the niece of the chairman.

She kept a distance from people while trying to maintain a friendly relationship for the same reason.

She was extremely loyal to her position.

She never drank with others at company dinners.

And she said.

“How about a drink for that reason?”

“What? Oh, I can’t drink…”

“I thought so. You can’t just study all the time. Come on, just one drink.”

“Yes, sister. But isn’t this expensive wine?”

Han Jaehee hesitated and Senior Jang Hyemin gave a simple answer.

“No. This is just a service.”

“Oh, I see. This is a really nice place.”

Damn it.

Han Jaehee who couldn’t drink, or Senior Jang Hyemin who said a bottle of wine worth hundreds of thousands of won was a service.

They were both incomprehensible.

“…”

Yoo-hyun emptied his glass without a word.

As the alcohol kicked in, Senior Jang Hyemin became more talkative.

“Jaehee…”

“Yes, that…”

Han Jaehee also kept talking about this and that, trying not to lose.

Among them, the behind story of this design caught Senior Jang Hyemin’s interest.

“Really? Yoo-hyun told you to do all that?”

“Yes. It’s hilarious, right? He told me to produce the result when I didn’t even know how to walk. You have no idea how absurd I felt…”

“Wow. Jaehee, you have a really good brother.”

At her words, Han Jaehee quickly changed her attitude.

“…Yes. Of course. I think so too.”

“Really? Wow, Yoo-hyun doesn’t belong there, does he? Should I tell him? There are many vacancies in the design center.”

Senior Jang Hyemin was sincere.

And she was someone who had the ability to execute what she thought.

Yoo-hyun, who was startled, cut off her words at a reasonable point.

“No. I’m satisfied with my position now.”

“That’s too bad. Yoo-hyun would do really well…Oh, are you going to Germany this time?”

“Yes.”

“That’s good. See you there. I’ll show you the product design. You’ll definitely be interested in it.”

Senior Jang Hyemin was trying to lure Yoo-hyun out somehow.

As she was doing that, she clapped her hands as if she remembered something when she met Han Jaehee’s eyes.

“Ah. Jaehee, do you want to go to Germany too?”

“What? Germany?”

“Yeah. The phone that your design will go into will be exhibited there. The original creator should go, right?”

Han Jaehee blinked at the sudden proposal.

“I’d love to, but…”

“Let’s go. The company will pay for it.”

“That, that was my dream.”

She was really abusing the word dream today.

Yoo-hyun made a ridiculous expression and Han Jaehee pinched his thigh as if she was embarrassed.

It stung.

She was a ridiculous sister.

‘Why are you doing this? What did I do wrong?’

‘Just let it go, oppa. Are you mocking me again?’

Senior Jang Hyemin, who had no idea of the siblings’ feelings, clapped by herself.

Clap clap.

“Good. It’s going to be so fun.”

Did she have this side to her?

He had never seen this side of her before when they worked together.

He felt like this meeting and the unexpected trip to Germany would be like that.

Meanwhile, in the US, in the conference room of Sprint Company.

At the place where the consulting team members in charge of the Asian region gathered, the team leader said.

“Ellis’s opinion has been finalized for the last Cosmo Cosmetics consulting case.”

Clap clap clap clap clap.

The applause rang out and Jeong Dahye stood up and greeted the team members.

“Ellis, Cosmo Cosmetics wants you to move quickly. What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to Germany first.”

“Did you contact JSJ, the one you mentioned last time?”

“Yes. I’ve arranged the schedule. I’ll notify Cosmo Cosmetics.”

“As expected, you’re amazing.”

“Thank you.”

After the meeting.

The team members came up to Jeong Dahye one by one and greeted her.

“Ellis, you did well. I was inspired a lot by you.”

“How about working on a project together next time?”

“I didn’t know you could conquer cosmetics too. You’re incredible.”

“Thank you.”

Jeong Dahye politely answered each greeting.

Then the team leader came over and smiled, showing his white teeth that contrasted with his black skin.

“The team members have changed a lot, haven’t they?”

“Yes, sir.”

“I told you. All you need here is skill.”

“Thank you.”

Jeong Dahye bowed.

Her heart was pounding.

She felt like she was rewarded for her hard work.

A bright smile appeared on her lips.

A few days later.

Yoo-hyun was standing in the office hallway, answering a phone call.

It was a call from Lim Hanseop, an assistant manager at Semi Electronics.

“Really? Senior. That’s great.”

-It’s all thanks to you. Thank you.

“Hey, it has nothing to do with me. I’m just going to demo the Semi Electronics product.”

-No, the president was stimulated by Hansung’s participation in the exhibition and ordered it. Our president is like that.

“Okay. I understand. Then I’ll see you in Germany if I can.

Semi Electronics is also going to the European exhibition.

According to a phone call from the president of Navitime a while ago, Navitime is also going to the European exhibition.

Navitime will showcase the next-generation built-in navigation system with Hyunil Motors there.

Not only that, but Kim Sungdeok, Senior Jang Hyemin, and my sister are also going to Germany.

The future has changed.

In the past, none of Yoo-hyun and the 3rd part members participated in the European exhibition.

Semi Electronics and Navitime were the same.

Han Jaehee was out of the question.

Everything changed because of Yoo-hyun’s different choice.

And the center of that change was the color phone.

“Yoo-hyun, look at this.”

Park Seungwoo, an assistant manager, gestured to Yoo-hyun, who returned to his seat.

When he approached, he saw a familiar-looking phone on Park Seungwoo’s desk.

“It’s already out. It’s awesome.”

“Let me see.”

The color phone had changed.

It was not the mockup that Yoo-hyun and Lee Chanho made, but the design that Hansung Electronics made.

Park Seungwoo, who picked it up, showed a sparkling look.

“Wow…Isn’t it amazing? How did they make this? The color is so pretty.”

“Do you like it?”

“Of course. It’s a real phone.”

Yoo-hyun smiled lightly and looked at the sky-blue phone that Park Seungwoo handed him.

As it was a low-end model, the mass production aspect was emphasized, and the luxuriousness was definitely lower than the original mockup.

The material itself was cheaper, and the thickness was thicker, considering the changeable circuit board and battery.

It had the Hansung Electronics logo and a camera, and it felt like a phone, but it was inevitable that it looked crude.

It was clearly a poor level compared to the latest phones that Yoo-hyun had experienced.

But Yoo-hyun smiled with satisfaction.

Why?

Not only the external design, but also the internal design was refined.

And the price was much cheaper.

There was no reason not to sell.

Seeing this, Senior Jang Hyemin was definitely capable.

She must have worked hard in the next-generation product development team, but it was not an easy task to produce a design in such a short time.

But Senior Jang Hyemin did it.

She captured the feeling that Yoo-hyun wanted as if she had planned it from the beginning.

Park Seungwoo’s excitement was still there.

“Yoo-hyun, the feeling when you press this is really good. Try pressing it. Doesn’t the image change so cutely?”

“Yes. It’s neat and nice.”

“Your sister made this, right? It’s so cute. She must have a personality like that too.”

“That…yes.”

Yoo-hyun barely mumbled.

While Park Seungwoo was talking to Yoo-hyun proudly, the part people who had gone to work came one by one.

And they touched the phone and exclaimed in wonder.

“It’s awesome. How did they make it so fast?”

“The quality is good too. It will get a lot of attention, right?”

“It’s finally the day when we make phones to match the LCD panel.”

“That’s right.”

Everyone nodded in agreement at the words that Kim Younggil, an assistant manager, muttered.

It was true.

The start of this product was the low-end full-touch panel.

If you go a little further, it was an idea that came out of trying to make a backup for the HPDA3 panel.

That idea moved the people in the phone business unit and made this product.

It was a completely different process from the past days when they worked like subcontractors for the phone business unit.
