Real Man

The people who took charge of the work were grateful to him for giving them authority and praise.

As if to prove this fact, Team Leader Kwon Soon-geon smiled at Jung Hyun-woo.

“Do you think you’ve paid off some of your debt?”

“Debt? That’s not true.”

“You did receive help. And that’s not all. You’ve been a great asset to our group. Especially in the strategic product planning department, you’ve been highly praised.”

“I’m lacking in technical skills, so I always owe people favors.”

Team Leader Kwon Soon-geon comforted Jung Hyun-woo’s modesty with a pleased expression.

“Don’t be silly. Everyone likes you for greeting them every morning and taking care of them whenever you have a question. Thanks to you, our team members also got a lot of motivation.”

“Is that so?”

Team Leader Kwon Soon-geon patted Jung Hyun-woo’s shoulder and turned around.

Maybe his words were a big stimulus, but Jung Hyun-woo’s face looked very encouraged.

He bowed deeply to Team Leader Kwon Soon-geon, who had turned away.

“Thank you, Team Leader!”

Jang Joon-sik, who was next to him, also bowed his head.

He knew Jung Hyun-woo’s efforts better than anyone else.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung looked at them with curiosity.

“Hyun-woo, that guy, he must be exhausted from running every morning, but as soon as he comes to work, he goes around greeting people.”

“I know. He also remembers the group members’ anniversaries and names. He also mentions the people he thinks of when he meets the seniors.”

“I wondered why he did that, but it all came back to him. He’s amazing.”

“I agree. I learned a lot from him.”

Yoo-hyun was not just saying that.

Jung Hyun-woo approached even the unfriendly people who had no connections with him warmly.

Thanks to that, he was able to win over their hearts in a short time and make his name known in the strategic product group, despite being only a staff member.

It was not easy, but it was the best way to adapt to the company life if he could do it.

That was why Yoo-hyun told Han Jae-hee about Jung Hyun-woo’s method.

“Jae-hee will be recognized soon too.”

Yoo-hyun smiled as he thought of his younger sister, who would be working hard as he had told her.

At that moment.

A greeting sound echoed loudly in the design center office at Sindorim Campus.

“Team Leader Lee, welcome back from your business trip. You must have worked hard.”

“Jae-hee, why are you suddenly acting so friendly? Why don’t you act as aloof as usual?”

Lee Ji-eun, the team leader, reacted coldly, and Han Jae-hee approached her more kindly.

“Don’t misunderstand. I respect you so much, Team Leader.”

“Really. Now that you’ve lost your backer, you’re trying to survive somehow, but it won’t work on me. Go away, you’re bothering me.”

“I’ll work hard. Please watch me!”

Han Jae-hee came closer with a brighter smile, and Lee Ji-eun, the team leader, snapped at her.

“Really! Why do you keep acting friendly, you incompetent parachute! Do you think I’m funny?”

She had also received stress from the business trip, and she lost her temper at the moment.

Before she could fix it, the design center director happened to pass by.

“Team Leader Lee, you should take care of your subordinates if they are lacking, not get angry at them. Is that something to be annoyed about?”

“Di, Director, that’s…”

“Of course. That’s why your team’s performance has been poor lately. Tsk tsk.”

Before Han Jae-hee could say anything to defend her, the director shook his head and walked away.

Lee Ji-eun, the team leader, blushed and glared at Han Jae-hee, who looked dumbfounded.

“Jae-hee, did you deliberately greet me loudly to screw me over?”

“Of course not. Absolutely not.”

Han Jae-hee waved her hands, but the team leader’s expression did not soften.

“Get out of my sight. Don’t you dare greet me again.”

That’s how Han Jae-hee’s company life was getting more twisted, contrary to Yoo-hyun’s thoughts.

These things, which were hard to happen even by coincidence, repeated for Han Jae-hee for a few days.

Ring.

Yoo-hyun received a message from Han Jae-hee a little later after that.

He checked the message at the customer service desk on the first floor of Yeouido Center and chuckled.

-Brother, is it really true that you just have to approach them first and greet them loudly? It only gets worse.

-It’s normal to have some pain at first. Trust me and try hard. I guarantee it.

He sent a reply and put down his phone.

Park Doo-sik, the deputy manager, asked him, looking at the name on the screen.

“Your sister?”

“Yes. She said she’s working hard at the company, so I sent her a message of encouragement.”

“You’re a good brother.”

“I have to help her a little bit. How’s the atmosphere at the Innovation Strategy Office?”

Yoo-hyun naturally turned the topic to the Innovation Strategy Office with a smile.

The small things that Yoo-hyun had done were triggers that shook the whole.

The aftermath was bound to affect the Innovation Strategy Office.

Deputy Park Doo-sik explained that part.

“It’s been so busy that the internal factions have quieted down. Everyone is busy defending against the group strategy office’s attack.”

“It’s good to be united when you have a common enemy.”

“You could say that. The Shinwa Semiconductor acquisition team is also going well. It’s all thanks to you guys.”

“What are you talking about?”

“This time, the article played a big role. Look at this.”

Deputy Park Doo-sik showed him a report on the laptop screen.

There were three articles summarized in chronological order.

The first one was Google’s article.

The group strategy office was supporting Hansung Electronics’ move.

As the key component company actively stepped forward, Google also quickly revealed its smart glasses project through a video.

It was a new product from Google, which was considered the world’s best innovation company.

The announcement alone raised a lot of interest, and it also created an unexpected ripple effect.

Yoo-hyun naturally looked at the articles that led to the acquisition war and gave Deputy Park Doo-sik a thumbs up.

“Good story, natural flow. The timing of the article was also appropriate.”

“This is what Park Manager summarized. I just connected him with the reporter.”

“It’s thanks to you for teaching him the know-how.”

“It’s thanks to your TF. It was easier because the foreign executives came forward.”

As Deputy Park Doo-sik said, there was no opposition when the foreign executives came forward.

The actions they had taken to weaken the power of the Innovation Strategy Office had become a boomerang and returned to the group strategy office.

Maybe Lee Joon-il, the manager, was rolling his eyes by now?

Yoo-hyun imagined it with amusement and answered.

“I guess the group strategy office is in trouble. They can’t back out now.”

“Looks like Micron can’t hold on any longer. Shinwa Semiconductor must be playing hardball.”

“Maybe Manager Park is fanning the flames in the middle.”

“Okay. That part is settled. Now let’s hear the real reason why you called me.”

Deputy Park Doo-sik changed the topic and Yoo-hyun told him what he was thinking without hesitation.

“I’m going to wrap up the backup plan.”

“You mean the bomb that Deputy Oh Jae-oh is going to drop on the group strategy office?”

“Yes. It’s time to light it up.”

“We’ve detected some urgent movements from Director Song Hyun-seung in Russia. We’re keeping an eye on Vice President Yoon Joo-tak’s actions. But will this really explode?”

They had already discussed this part in depth, but Deputy Park Doo-sik was still skeptical.

It was because the situation was so complicated.

“What’s bothering you?”

“It’s a suicide mission. The royal family won’t sit still either.”

“People’s greed is not that flexible. Deputy Oh Jae-oh will definitely push it.”

“Then the question is. What about Manager Lee Joon-il? He must have noticed by now.”

Deputy Oh Jae-oh must be frantically searching the server data by now.

There was no way that Manager Lee Joon-il wouldn’t notice that.

Yoo-hyun had planned the board with this in mind from the beginning.

“I guess so. He’s in a situation where he has to block this too, while he’s out of his mind.”

“If he’s the one who manages all the data, he should be able to stop it, right? He just has to manipulate it.”

“He won’t be able to stop it.”

And now, the added plan was delivered through Yoo-hyun’s hands.

Swish.

Deputy Park Doo-sik received the USB and blinked.

“What is this?”

“It’s a bomb to blow up Manager Lee Joon-il’s data center.”

“Huh? There’s such a thing?”

“Yes. It didn’t exist, but it appeared. Thanks to a very smart person.”

Deputy Park Doo-sik tilted his head as he looked at Yoo-hyun’s smile.

Deputy Park Doo-sik returned to his office and took out the USB that Yoo-hyun had given him.

“Is the data center destroyed so easily?”

He muttered incredulously and acted as Yoo-hyun had told him.

First, he opened the report that Manager Lee Joon-il would be most interested in.

Click.

The information about Michael, the real owner of SG Bio, was displayed on the screen.

He couldn’t find the contact point with Shin Kyung-soo, but the estimated content was in there.

“After running the USB file, attach this data…”

Deputy Park Doo-sik clicked a few times and a compressed file was created.

There were several files with unknown extensions in it.

-Never click on any other files.

Deputy Park Doo-sik remembered Yoo-hyun’s words and uploaded the file to the server without unzipping it.

He also updated it in his mail box.

Both were actions that Yoo-hyun had told him not to do because of the data center’s automatic surveillance.

“This will automatically open it, right? And the history will remain?”

Deputy Park Doo-sik was still doubtful as he finished the job too easily.

The day Deputy Park Doo-sik updated the data was the 12th.

It was the day when Heo Jeong-ro, a member of the National Assembly, supported the Seoul mayor by-election campaign, and as Yoo-hyun expected, an article came out.

When Yoo-hyun was watching the news live in his office, there was someone else who was watching the same news.

It was Manager Lee Joon-il.

He sneered as he watched the news through the multi-vision installed on the wall of his office.

“At this point, when I have to move Heo Jeong-ro, a member of the National Assembly, Deputy Oh Jae-oh is running wild?”

The answer was from Deputy Wi Soo-hyuk, who was sitting across from him.

“Yes. I removed the bug installed in his office. He’s moving the personnel 1 and 2 teams to chase after Vice President Yoon Joo-tak’s corruption.”

“Damn it. The Shinwa Semiconductor acquisition deal was messed up because of him, why is he making such a fuss?”

“I have something to tell you about that. The person Deputy Oh Jae-oh met in Gwacheon was…”

As Deputy Wi Soo-hyuk was reporting what he had followed behind Deputy Oh Jae-oh, a red alert appeared on the TV in the lower right corner of the multi-vision.

It was an alert that only appeared when a serious keyword was detected among the automatically collected data.

Manager Lee Joon-il’s eyes widened as he checked the summary on the screen.

“Why are the bastards from the Innovation Strategy Office investigating the real owner of SG Bio?”

“I’ll, I’ll find out right away!”

Deputy Wi Soo-hyuk ran out and Manager Lee Joon-il grabbed the back of his neck.

What if the information about SG Bio leaked out?

Director Shin Kyung-soo would never forgive him.

Just at that moment, his phone rang.

“I’m going crazy.”

He closed his eyes tightly in front of the name Shin Kyung-soo.

While Deputy Wi Soo-hyuk was checking the data uploaded to the data center, someone was looking at the contents inside from a place where he could never access.

It was Na Do-ha, who was sitting in the Double Y office.

He checked the details through the new computer and sighed.

“They really did everything.”

On the monitor, there were all kinds of personal information, surveillance videos, audio files, etc. of Hansung Electronics employees.

A virus that had penetrated deep into the internal network acted as a gate, allowing him to look at the files from outside.

Of course, he didn’t tell Yoo-hyun about this.
