Real Man

Chapter 507:

Yoo-hyun recalled his past encounter with him from his casual words.

-You don’t have to be so nervous in front of the president, deputy. Just relax and act naturally. What if you make a mistake? Do you think he will fire you?

Lee Jun-il, the director, or rather the president, was a more familiar title for Yoo-hyun.

He was the one who handed over the baton of Han Electronics to Yoo-hyun and was the closest aide of Shin Kyung-soo, the big data expert who had no match in Han Group.

If he was behind Yoo-hyun, everything would make sense, but there was a big error.

He was not supposed to be here at this point.

He should have appeared at least five years later.

Yoo-hyun’s mind was confused by the thought that something was twisted.

Director Lee Jun-il quietly approached and whispered.

Yoo-hyun snapped out of it and replied.

“Yes. Please tell me.”

“Is that Channel Watch on the central stand of the IT exhibition hall?”

“Yes. It is.”

“I saw the Narutal Power logo on the watch screen.”

“Do you mean the small logo instead of the number 12?”

How did he see that?

Yoo-hyun asked in case, and Director Lee Jun-il gave an unexpected answer.

“Yes. The small logo. I guess Laura Parker designed it herself. The details are alive.”

“…”

“Was Maria Carlos a fan of Laura Parker? It would be perfect as a gift.”

It was a plan that he had not told anyone yet.

But Director Lee Jun-il rummaged through everything as if he had entered Yoo-hyun’s head.

Yoo-hyun smiled awkwardly at him, who showed curiosity like a child.

“That would be nice. Thank you for your advice.”

“You look good being humble. I like you.”

“…”

Director Lee Jun-il lightly tapped Yoo-hyun’s shoulder, and Ju Jae-o, the executive director next to him, said.

“Why are you so shy?”

“I just told him to work hard. Let’s go now.”

“No, I still have something to say…”

“You can say it later. Director Han, see you later.”

Director Lee Jun-il winked at Yoo-hyun and dragged Ju Jae-o away.

Yoo-hyun, who pretended to be calm, went out, suppressing his throbbing chest.

He moved to the customer reception room on the first floor of Han Tower and sat quietly, taking a breath.

After closing his eyes and breathing for a while, his panicked mind calmed down.

The fog in his head cleared and things were sorted out.

“It was Director Lee Jun-il.”

He came to the group strategy room earlier than in the past and was hiding himself now.

Judging from the conversation, his direct boss, Executive Director Ju Jae-o, did not know his identity either.

All this situation pointed to one thing.

Shin Kyung-soo was behind him.

Not just behind him, but working to weed out people to come back.

He was at the forefront, and Yoo-hyun caught his eye.

In that sense, it explained why he handled the corruption at the Wonju factory in one breath.

Director Lee Jun-il was not trying to threaten Yoo-hyun, but to prevent him from making any mistakes.

‘He must have seen me as inexperienced.’

And Shin Kyung-soo would not have missed this choice.

He was likely to have ordered it himself, which meant he had chosen Yoo-hyun.

Maybe he could meet him much sooner than expected.

What should he do?

He frowned and pondered, then shook his head.

It was a done deal anyway, and there was no point in being anxious.

Rather, it might be a good thing.

He might be able to settle it sooner.

Clack.

Yoo-hyun clenched his fist and got up from his seat.

It was time to face him head-on.

Soon after, a black limousine parked smoothly on the first floor lobby of Han Tower.

Starting with Maria Carlos, the Spanish princess and vice president of Narutal Power, her royal siblings who were engaged in economic activities in various parts of Spain followed.

They were royals, but they were all figures who were active in the Spanish state-owned company Narutal Power.

This showed that the purpose of this visit was not a simple tour, but a business exchange.

Baek Jae-chan, the team leader, brought them to the lobby, where Yun Ju-tak, the vice president, escorted them personally.

There was no one passing by in the lobby due to the control.

Click clack.

Maria Carlos’s heel sound echoed on the quiet marble floor.

She had blond hair, deep eyes and a high nose, and even the wrinkles on her face looked elegant.

Anyone could see that she had a refined appearance that shone with confidence and a relaxed gaze.

Standing in front of the entrance of the exhibition hall, Yoo-hyun greeted her as he took in her appearance.

He was flanked by the key executives of Hansung Group, as well as Lee Jun-il, the head of the strategy department, and two team leaders in charge of the strategy.

Yoo-hyun smiled and reached out his hand, greeting her in Spanish.

“Hello. I’m Steve Han, the person in charge of the exhibition.”

Lee Jun-il, who saw this, looked interested, while Bae Jae-chan and Shim Byeong-jik, the team leaders, frowned.

‘How dare he greet the royalty like that.’

‘He must have prepared some Spanish greetings, but that’s ridiculous.’

On the other hand, Maria Carlos, who was more suited for business than royalty, shook his hand pleasantly and returned the greeting.

She was as casual as ever.

“Maria. Your Spanish pronunciation is not bad, unlike what Anna said.”

“Spanish pronunciation is not bad…”

As Seok Ji-sung, the director, tried to interpret, Yoo-hyun raised his hand and stopped him.

There was no need to beat around the bush with someone who already knew the whole story.

“It’s because I shouldn’t kiss the wrong person. So I prepared a bit.”

“Pfft.”

Hugo Gonzalez, who remembered what Yoo-hyun had said at the last meeting, ‘Quiero besarte (I want to kiss you)’, covered his mouth.

Anna Allen, who accompanied him, also suppressed her laughter.

Leaving behind the people who didn’t understand the situation, Maria Carlos smiled.

“You’re witty as I heard. You also seem to have business skills, since you hid your Spanish skills on purpose.”

“Among them, my exhibition introduction skills are the best.”

“Can I expect it?”

“Of course.”

Yoo-hyun spoke in fluent Spanish and gestured.

Ching.

The entrance door opened and the displays inside the exhibition hall shone brightly.

Maria Carlos exclaimed, skipping the greetings with the other executives.

“Wow, it’s splendid.”

“Wow…”

The other Spanish royals also opened their mouths.

Not only them, but also the many executives who followed them looked quite surprised.

The exhibition that made even the US president raise his thumb at the G20 was that high-level.

Yoo-hyun didn’t just stop at the display show, but also linked it to the Narutal Power and the kingdom business.

A large video wall made of 16 50-inch TVs became Yoo-hyun’s presentation screen.

The content that he had prepared with Nado Yeon, the deputy manager, flowed out of his mouth.

“To automate the power system of Narutal Power, we expanded the smart control technology further…”

At an unexpected moment, the impact of the new item that popped out with the flashy background was quite big.

It made the simple concept-oriented content seem like it was realized, and exaggerated it.

Click. Click.

Thanks to that, the Narutal Power employees, who would have only shown moderate interest if they had only seen the documents, changed their expressions. They pressed the camera shutter continuously and took pictures of the screen.

The Spanish royals, who were also business people, showed considerable interest.

Maria Carlos was no exception.

She was different from the others, as she fixed her eyes on the round stand in the center.

There was a watch on the stand, and a 50-inch TV above it showed a video of the watch production with the channel logo.

She looked at the watch as if she was fascinated and opened her mouth.

“You said it was a channel product, was it a watch?”

“Yes. That’s right. It’s an unreleased product. Would you like to try it on?”

“It’s an honor.”

At Yoo-hyun’s suggestion, Maria Carlos wrapped a chain around her wrist.

On her wrist, there was a screen with rounded corners.

The watch, which was made of OLED panels and minimized components, was thin and light enough to compare with a regular analog watch.

The elegant design on the screen was enough to captivate Maria Carlos’s eyes.

It was definitely different from the electronic watches that had come out before.

She blinked as she stared at it.

“Amazing.”

The Spanish royals exclaimed.

The most surprised one was Maria Carlos.

She asked him a question with a meaningful look.

“Is that possible?”

“Of course. There is a demo prepared in the IT exhibition hall.”

“Will there be the thing I was looking forward to there?”

“Of course.”

Yoo-hyun answered with a smile.

Inside the IT exhibition hall, there were Hansung Electronics’ cutting-edge electronic products.

Home theater, refrigerator, laptop, vacuum cleaner, smartphone, tablet, etc.

The latest products were arranged, and they could be connected with a smartphone.

It was the result of investing in the Internet of Things in advance by the Hansung Electronics appliance division.

This was connected to Yoo-hyun’s smart control system that he had mentioned earlier.

Factory automation, power automation, transportation automation including buses.

Yoo-hyun proved that there was endless potential for collaboration between Hansung and Narutal Power with this exhibition.

“Ah? There is a Narutal Power logo instead of the number 12.”

“Yes. This was designed by Laura Parker herself.”

“Laura Parker?”

Maria Carlos was astonished, proving that she was a huge fan of Laura Parker.

It was a fact that could be found by looking at her past interviews, but it was a completely different matter to link it to the channel watch.

Lee Jun-il, who was behind her, saw through it at once.

He had a broad and meticulous perspective.

But to Yoo-hyun, that was all.

No matter how good his analytical skills were, he couldn’t know the parts without data.

Yoo-hyun checked the prepared remark.

“Yes. This is what Laura Parker prepared only for you.”

“Really? Laura Parker never gives out unreleased products to anyone.”

Her remark, which was in line with Lee Jun-il’s advice, narrowed Maria Carlos’s eyes.

The atmosphere became tense.

She relaxed her face, but Ju Jae-o, the vice president who was full of expectations for the smooth flow, bit his lower lip.

The smile disappeared from Lee Jun-il’s face, who was standing next to the anxious Ju Jae-o.

He looked thoughtful in the unexpected situation.

‘So that was it.’

Lee Jun-il knew that Maria Carlos was a fan of Laura Parker, but he didn’t know what that meant.

He saw through Yoo-hyun with the same words, but he couldn’t see inside him.

All he could know was the part that was revealed by the data.

On the contrary, Yoo-hyun knew him.

He gained confidence and smiled at Maria Carlos.

It was time to teach Lee Jun-il a lesson.

“Laura Parker doesn’t give out unreleased products to ordinary people. But you are special.”

“No. Laura Parker doesn’t care about royalty…”

It was when Maria Carlos was about to object.

Tick.

Yoo-hyun pressed the button next to the round stand, and the TV screen that had the image of the channel watch reversed.

On the screen, there was a woman sitting on a sofa.
