Real Man

Chapter 409:

The next afternoon.

There was no sign of any movement in the media yet, but there were people who did not miss the hint and acted accordingly.

They were the members of the Group Strategy Office.

They had set up a 24-hour situation room in the conference room and they were in a state of emergency.

Song Hyun-seung, the executive director, burst into the room and untied his tie roughly.

A press conference? What the hell is going on?

We got a direct notification from Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook.

Kwon Sung-hoe, the director in charge of the emergency situation room, answered immediately, and Song Hyun-seung snapped.

He couldnt have done it alone. Whos behind this?

It seems that there are some employees who are moving secretly. They seem to have formed a temporary organization.

What? Seem? They seem? Are you kidding me? Is that all you found out after staying up all night?

Im s-sorry.

Song Hyun-seung scolded the director who bowed his head.

Find out quickly. How big they are, what kind of organization they have. Whats the content of the press conference. What is Vice Chairman Shin Myung-ho doing right now. How is the reaction from the Royal Family. Check it out as soon as possible.

Yes. I understand.

Kwon Sung-hoe bowed his waist at Song Hyun-seungs words.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.

At that moment.

Inside the LCD business directors office on the 14th floor.

Vice President Lim Jun-pyo was having a confrontation with Executive Director Heo Min-gang, the TV group leader.

Heo Min-gang, who had joined the LCD business division and rose to the position of group leader, ranted.

Vice President, do you think Im satisfied with just sticking a logo on the panel as an idea from TF? I gave up all my core personnel for that TF.Visit novelbin(.)c𝒐m for updates

Heo, calm down. Im listening.

The Home Appliances Division is also laughing at us. They say it doesnt make sense to stick a logo on TV. Honestly, weve done well with TV sales so far. But a woman who knows nothing about TV situation says something absurd

Vice President Lim Jun-pyo drank his coffee while ignoring Heo Min-gangs words.

It was hard to argue right now, because he was not wrong.

He knew that better than anyone else as a former member of the Home Appliances Division.

What is Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook thinking?

He trusted his words and supported him as much as possible, but it was reaching its limit.

What if the Home Appliances Division rises up because of this?

Vice President Shin Cheon-sik might turn over the LCD business division once.

As he pondered for a moment, his phone rang.

He checked the content and picked up the remote control.

Heo, wait a minute. Lets turn on TV.

Huh? Whats on TV?

Yeah. Something very important seems to be coming up.

A glint appeared in Vice President Lim Jun-pyos eyes, which had been dead until then.

Meanwhile.

Yoo-hyun was on the phone with Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook in the office hallway.

So, you have time to call me.

-Of course I do.

Arent you nervous? There must be a lot of reporters there.

At Yoo-hyuns question, Shin Kyung-wook answered with a playful voice.

-Well, Im less nervous than standing in front of the people of Yeontae Village.

Thats because you drank too much then.

-Haha. Yeah. It was something Ive never experienced before.

They exchanged jokes that were out of place in a serious situation.

Then, a calm and serious voice came from the phone.

-This is where the real game begins."

Please shoot a nice flare for us.

-Learn from me.

Yoo-hyun smiled at his precious colleague.

-Of course. Ill stick with you till the end, even if Im clumsy.

-Haha. I cant show such an ugly sight. Ill contact you later.

The phone was cut off with Shin Kyung-wooks refreshing laugh.

You look like youre doing well.

Yoo-hyun smiled and returned to the conference room.

A meeting led by Director Kim Hyun-min was in progress in the middle conference room on the 13th floor.

He explained the current situation to the mobile team members who attended.

I met with Group Leader Yu. He said everything will be fine, so dont worry.

Group Leader Yu seems to have already moved by looking at what TV Team Leader said, right? Is it really okay?

Director Kim Hyun-min calmly answered Choi Min-hee Team Leaders question.

Group Leader Yu said so, what can we do? We have to trust him.

Isnt it too vague? It would be nice if he could tell us something more clearly.

Thats right. He looked so mysterious. He was like Han Daeri.

Kim Hyun-min suddenly pointed at Yoo-hyun, who was surprised.

Why are you suddenly biting me?

Cant you get promoted right away? How does it work?

Im a person who just returned from Yeontae Business Site.

Yoo-hyun dodged the question and Kim Hyun-min pressed him further.

Youre the one who came back and started to stir things up. Youve changed too much.

Well, Han Daeri suddenly got promoted. Its a bit strange.

Choi Min-hee Team Leader added a word and Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager joined in.

Han Daeri, do you really have some amazing backer who pulled you up?

Does this guy have some kind of miracle?

Yoo-hyun looked at Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager with disbelief.

Then he added more.

If its someone who can pull you up from Yeontae Business Site, it must be the president.

Hey, Kwon Assistant Manager, youve gone too far. Why would the president come out of there?

If it wasnt for Jo Mi-ran Assistant Manager, who was on the same team as him, he would have caught a mouse with a backward step.

Yoo-hyun sighed with relief and Choi Min-hee Team Leader wrapped it up for Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager.

Kwon Assistant Manager has a good imagination. Its a big advantage.

Thank you, Team Leader.

Kwon Se-jung Assistant Managers expression brightened in an instant.

He seemed to have adapted to the team by now.

Then, Lee Chan Ho Assistant Manager, who was fiddling with his laptop, shouted.

It says on the news flash that Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook is holding an emergency press conference. Whats that about?

Youre not focusing on the meeting, are you? Our prince?

Director Kim Hyun-min was startled and sat up straight, and Team Leader Choi Min-hee asked urgently.

Wasnt there any announcement in the company? But hes holding a press conference?

I dont know either.

Lee Chan Ho Assistant Manager shook his head with a bewildered expression at the sudden question.

Not only the director and the team leader, but everyone who attended here pricked up their ears.

Executive Director Shin Kyung-wooks story was a hot issue among the employees as well.

It was because there had been a lot of negative news about him lately.

Is he holding a press conference to explain the rumors? Or is he revealing his new ambition?

Kwon Se-jung Assistant Manager hit the nail on the head again with his random remark.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and said to the bewildered people.

Im curious too. Lets watch it.

Lets do that. How do we turn it on?

Lee Chan Ho Assistant Manager answered Director Kim Hyun-mins question.

Its on the internet channel. Junsik, Ill send you the link, so open it.

Okay.

Jang Junsik opened the link he received via messenger.

Soon, a webcast window appeared on the screen instead of the presentation material.

It was a channel that broadcasted simultaneously with TV, but since it was a sudden news, there were not many concurrent viewers.

But that number was increasing rapidly.

Ding.

Yoo-hyuns phone rang at the perfect timing.

He checked the message from Director Park Doo-sik, whom he had been waiting for.

The press conference is starting. Ive spread it to all the key executives. Its also been delivered to the TV business director as you said.

Thank you. Ill watch it with a light heart.

As soon as Yoo-hyun replied, another message came.

It was no joke to prepare for this. Yeah. You can expect a lot. Executive Director Shin prepared a lot for this.

Yoo-hyun, who had worked closely with Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook, knew his thorough preparation well.

Director Park Doo-sik was also meticulous and careful as much as him.

Yoo-hyun did not know the details of the content either.

That made him look forward to the synergy they would show more.

Lets see how much they prepared.

Yoo-hyun smiled lightly and focused on the screen as a spectator.

-Hansung Group, Hansung Electronics, Crown Prince, Next Generation Chairman, Third Generation Management, Eldest Son.

Words that stimulated curiosity filled the caption box along with the reporters words.

The screen only showed an empty table and chairs, but the number of cameras that flocked in amplified the anticipation.

Soon after.

Flash flash flash flash bang.

Executive Director Shin Kyung-wooks figure appeared between the flashes.

His tall stature and neat outfit, his neatly arranged hairstyle were the first things that caught his eye.

His dark eyes and high nose bridge, his clean skin were extra.

He was rated as having the best appearance among the third generation chaebols.

Moreover, this was the first time he officially showed his face to the media.

He couldnt help but attract peoples attention from the moment he appeared.

He sat on a chair on the podium and put his hands on the table.

The camera zoomed in on his confident face.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

It looked like a scene from a movie and Hwang Dong-sik Assistant Manager exclaimed.

I envy him. He has a good appearance, he is tall, he is a diamond spoon.

Really, what would it feel like to work with someone like him?

Lee Chan Ho Assistant Manager chimed in with excitement and Kim Young-gil Section Chief flinched.

He met Yoo-hyuns eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

Only two of them knew the secret that they had spent quite a long time with Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook.

Its good, but I heard he doesnt get recognition from his family.

Director Kim Hyun-min answered Hwang Dong-sik Assistant Manager who had been listening quietly.

Hes the only son of his former wife in his family. His current stepmother hates him so much that she sent him abroad early.

Where did you hear that from?

Hwang Dong-sik Assistant Manager eagerly told various stories.

Its all over the internet. He has a lot of stories. When he was in America

People listened with interest to the gossip that was fun to hear.

It seemed silly to talk about such trivial things, but Yoo-hyun used to be like that too.

When Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook came to Korea first because of the Chinese technology leak case, he judged him based on the internet rumors.

He thought at first that he might not have a chance to become chairman because of the information he got from the media and internet.

Looking back, it was just manipulated information by someone, but he didnt know that then.

He trusted those damn letters more than his colleague next to him.

The public would be no less than that, if not more so.

To break through the wrong image that was imposed on him and to reverse the situation, it was best to use the media in reverse.

Executive Director Shin Kyung-wooks hand stopped scanning the table and his index and middle fingers snapped in turn.

His habit of speaking before was still the same.

Yoo-hyun smiled and tapped the table.

Thump.

At that moment, as if it was timed, his mouth opened.

A deep voice spread through the microphone.

-Hello. Im Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director of Hansung Electronics.

His stable posture and confident tone, his neat eye contact.

It was a gesture worthy of Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook and Yoo-hyun smiled at the corner of his mouth.
