Real Man

Chapter 468:

Kim Hyun-soo gave a confident answer to Han Yoo-hyun’s question.

-They’re doing well enough that you don’t have to worry. Hyun-shik is about to graduate from college.

“I’m glad they’re healthy.”

-Didn’t you say you were working on something related to G20?

“I came to COEX to exhibit.”

Han Yoo-hyun replied as he walked toward the conference room on the second floor where the exhibition would be held.

The area in front of the conference room was already busy with preparations.

-That’s amazing. You’re exhibiting in front of some very important people, aren’t you?

“I don’t have to talk to them. I just show them the product.”

As Han Yoo-hyun was about to answer Kim Hyun-soo’s question, he saw two men arguing in front of the conference room.

He recognized one of them, so he quickly ended the call.

“I’ll be there soon. Hyun-soo, wait a minute. I’ll call you back.”

-Okay. Take care.

Han Yoo-hyun put his phone in his pocket and approached the two men.

Soon, he heard their voices one by one.

“What are you doing? We have to hurry up and change this. The schedule has been moved up.”

The man who was scolding had a G20 preparation committee badge around his neck.

His name was Song Chang-yeop, and he seemed to be a new recruit who joined after the G20 was secured.

“How many times do I have to tell you? We’re doing as planned.”

The man who stood up to him was Ahn Hyung-yoon, a senior engineer from TV Circuit 4 Team, who had helped with the G20 exhibition.

His face was flushed, indicating that the argument had been going on for a while.

It was clear that it was a reckless abuse of power by a novice in charge who had no experience in exhibitions.

Of course, Ahn Hyung-yoon was resisting.

The conversation was not going anywhere.

Han Yoo-hyun sent a message to someone who could solve the problem, and then called out to Ahn Hyung-yoon.

“Senior Ahn.”

Ahn Hyung-yoon turned his head and brightened up.

“Han, you’re here. I thought I was going to die of frustration.”

“What’s going on?”

“Well, this guy keeps changing the route, so we can’t organize it.”

As Ahn Hyung-yoon spoke, Song Chang-yeop protested.

“Here you go again. If you want to exhibit the way Han Sung wants, you have to stick to it.”

“Are you kidding me? If you asked us to help, you should let us help. Why are you tripping us up?”

“I’m the person in charge here. Don’t you know that I can overturn everything here with one word?”

Song Chang-yeop pushed his belly out and insisted.

It reminded Han Yoo-hyun of Shin Kwang-se, who used to pick on everything at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Is this a place where pushing your belly out is a tradition?

“No, right now…”

“Senior, hold on a second.”

Han Yoo-hyun, who had a ridiculous thought and chuckled, stopped Ahn Hyung-yoon with his hand.

Then he asked Song Chang-yeop politely.

“I understand what you’re saying, sir. Why don’t you talk to Shin Kwang-se when he comes?”

“Who are you to mention our manager?”

“I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Han Yoo-hyun, an assistant manager at Han Sung Electronics.”

Han Yoo-hyun showed his badge, and Song Chang-yeop sneered.

“Assistant manager? What do you have to say to the manager?”

“It’s not me who has something to say, it’s him who asked me to come.”

There was no one here who could handle both the exhibition planning and support like Jeong Da-hye did in the past.

Shin Kwang-se was supposed to do that, but he seemed unsure, so he asked Han Yoo-hyun for help.

That was why Han Yoo-hyun visited the exhibition hall on the first day.

Song Chang-yeop misunderstood Han Yoo-hyun’s intention and twisted his face.

“Huh. What? You have to make sense. Where do you think this is, that a mere assistant manager can bluff? Do you know how high the people who will visit this exhibition are?”

Ignorance is bliss, Song Chang-yeop used some amazing logic that he learned somewhere.

Han Yoo-hyun pointed to the other side.

“Wow. Oh, he’s coming.”

“What?”

Song Chang-yeop, who was talking back to Han Yoo-hyun, was startled to see the man who came next to him.

“Gasp. Manager.”

Shin Kwang-se ignored Song Chang-yeop and came up to Han Yoo-hyun and grabbed his hand.

“Oh, Han, long time no see.”

“How have you been?”

“How can I be? Jung Team Leader left, and we have no manpower, but they want us to speed up the schedule. I’m dying.”

“…”

Shin Kwang-se, who used to be scary, was complaining to the young assistant manager.

Song Chang-yeop was speechless at the situation he couldn’t understand.

“You have David instead of Jung Team Leader. He’s good at planning, right?”

“Don’t even mention it. That rude foreigner says exhibition support is not his business.”

“That’s right. It was Jung Team Leader who went out of his way to do that.”

“Anyway. Please help us out. You said you have a way, right?”

The exhibition schedule was moved up by two days because the president decided to visit.

Shin Kwang-se, who was in charge of customer reception, was in a panic.

Han Yoo-hyun had already considered this, but he pretended to be reluctant to make the preparation easier.

“To be honest, the schedule is too tight for us.”

“What are you talking about? You did it in three days last time. You said you could do it this time too.”

“That’s when you trusted us and supported us fully.”

“Of course I’ll support you fully. Why? Is there a problem?”

Shin Kwang-se asked as if he was desperate, and Han Yoo-hyun gestured to the side.

“I think Song Sir has a different opinion.”

“Huh? Oh, I just thought the exhibition support was too weak…”

Song Chang-yeop hesitated, and Shin Kwang-se pushed his belly out and snapped.

“Chang-yeop, do you think I made you in charge to do this? Without Han Sung, the exhibition won’t happen. Do you want to cancel it?”

“No, no.”

“From now on, follow whoever is helping with the exhibition. Got it?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Don’t just say yes, apologize. Apologize.”

At Shin Kwang-se’s scolding, Song Chang-yeop bowed immediately.

“I’m sorry. I made a mistake because I was too eager.”

“Senior.”

Han Yoo-hyun poked Ahn Hyung-yoon’s side, and Ahn Hyung-yoon, who was scratching his head, accepted the apology instead.

“No, it’s okay. Just help us from now on.”

“Thank you.”

Song Chang-yeop, the secretary, bowed his head once again.

He looked so pitiful compared to his previous attitude.

Yoo-hyun felt a bit sorry for him, but he had no reason to care too much.

“Is this enough? You can do this, right?”

Shin Kwang-se, the manager, asked impatiently, and Yoo-hyun pretended to be confident until the end.

“It’s not something that I can do alone. All the staff who came here to support the exhibition have to work together. And they have to be comfortable too.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on them. You heard that, right, Chang-yeop? Support them whenever they move or eat.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Song Chang-yeop, the secretary, answered firmly, and Yoo-hyun nodded his head.

“Yes. If you do that, I’ll try my best to make the G20 a success, even though it’s really hard.”

“Good. I’m counting on you.”

“Of course. It’s a national matter. I’ll do my best.”

Yoo-hyun smiled brightly and replied.

Ahn Hyung-yoon, the senior, looked at Yoo-hyun with a dumbfounded expression.

The exhibition was prepared smoothly with the active support of the G20 preparation committee.

Yoo-hyun walked leisurely and looked at the preparation scene.

The exhibition space was about three times bigger than the previous one for the G20 bid.

As the scale was bigger, there were more panels and various productions were attempted.

The exhibition concept was different from what they had done before, so the experienced development team members also had a hard time.

Jang Jun-sik took care of that part well.

Jang Jun-sik, who was on a ladder, gestured to him.

“Senior, you can come this way. Yes. That’s right.”

“Okay. Jun-sik, how are you going to do the power line? Drill the wall?”

A development team member asked, and Jang Jun-sik came down from the ladder and ran to him.

“Just a moment. I’ll check with the company.”

He communicated with the exhibition support company staff who were working behind the wall and came back with the result.

He had the whole exhibition plan that Yoo-hyun gave him in his head.

It seemed like he only needed a little help from the middle.

Yoo-hyun smiled with satisfaction and Jeong Saet-byul approached him and whispered.

“If Mr. Jeong was here, your smile would have been brighter.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You miss him, don’t you? He was such a nice person.”

“Who would think that you worked with him for a long time?”

“Does the time matter? It’s the heart that matters.”

Jeong Saet-byul answered Yoo-hyun’s question.

He couldn’t argue with that, so Yoo-hyun agreed.

“Well, that’s true.”

“See? I’m not a love expert for nothing. I know people’s hearts well.”

“I don’t think that’s the case.”

Yoo-hyun backed off, but Jeong Saet-byul didn’t give up easily.

“Hey, I can tell. Mr. Jeong must miss you a lot right now.”

“How do you know that?”

“We’re both Jeongs. We have a subtle connection.”

“Really?”

Yoo-hyun laughed at the absurd remark, and Jeong Saet-byul went further.

She was a junior who wasn’t annoying even when she said useless things.

“So don’t leave him alone and contact him whenever you have time. Send him some hearts and stuff.”

“Do your work, do your work.”

Yoo-hyun waved his hand and Jeong Saet-byul stepped back.

“Mr. Yu, please? You got it, right? Remember that love is as much as you express it.”

She said everything she wanted to say until the end.

Yoo-hyun, who was shaking his head, took out his phone and opened the internet window.

On the bookmarked page, there was an interview with Jeong Da-hye.

-The United States will become an exporter, not an importer, in the global oil market. To achieve this, our Sprint Company proposed to ExxonMobil to focus on shale oil, and…

Jeong Da-hye, who became a manager, joined the main project of Sprint Company.

She surpassed the people who wanted her position and did an interview with CNN. It was easy to tell her status in the project.

She was busy and it was an important time, so Yoo-hyun didn’t bother to contact her first.

He only replied with words of encouragement when she contacted him once in a while.

He finally sent her a message first.

-Fighting for today. (Heart)

What would she reply?

It was a meaningless message, so he was curious.

He got the answer in less than a minute.

-Da-hye: Thank you. I’ll call you when I have time. (Heart)

In front of the first heart emoticon he received from her, Yoo-hyun had to admit it.

“Saet-byul is right. She is a love expert.”

A faint smile appeared on Yoo-hyun’s lips.

There were many problems during the exhibition setting period, but Song Chang-yeop, the secretary, sorted them out well.

Maybe it was because of Shin Kwang-se, the manager’s pressure, but he stayed late and worked with the exhibition staff, and solved their problems right away.

Thanks to that, they were able to finish the pre-exhibition successfully.

And finally, the day of the exhibition came.

Today, the G20 Seoul Summit was held, and there was a two-day car ban in Seoul.

The roads around COEX were completely blocked, and no one was allowed to enter the COEX conference hall.

Yoo-hyun was there, where only those who had their identity verified could enter.
