Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Yoo-hyun walked past the booths where TVs, appliances, monitors, laptops, and media players were displayed, and reached the opposite side of the booth. There, he saw a row of next-generation phones from Hansung Electronics. A UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) with a QWERTY keyboard. A dual-screen phone that lets you see the screen without opening the folder. A watch phone that you wear on your wrist. These three phones were products that won innovation awards at the European exhibition. The gold-plated innovation marks on each product were proof of that. But the people were actually gathered on the side. Buzzing. And there were colorful phones there. Park Seungwoo, who approached Yoo-hyun, exclaimed in a voice mixed with admiration. “Isn’t it amazing? It really looks different when you see it like this.” “Do the designers just play and eat? They should do well with something like this.” As they talked, Kim Hyunmin, who put both hands on their shoulders, tackled them. Of course, Park Seungwoo didn’t shrink back like before. “This is amazing. Look.” “What?” “They didn’t just drop the phones, they also drew the characters on the wall nicely.” “Yeah, anyone would think it’s an animation poster.” “That’s right. They must be able to drive a Benz with this quality.” As Park Seungwoo said, it was clear that they put a lot of effort into the color phone display. On the wall where the color phones were placed, there were seven different colors of paper, and on top of them, the main characters inside the color phones were drawn. It was a distinctly different look from the other phones that were placed with the spec sheets. Kim Hyunmin, who was listening quietly, threw a punch. “This kid is really full of vanity. What Benz. He should just walk. Right, Yoo-hyun?” “I’m going to take the subway.” Kim Hyunmin didn’t have time to answer Yoo-hyun’s words. It was because Park Seungwoo came out. “I’ll follow Yoo-hyun. You just walk, chief.” “Ahem.” “Haha.”Visitt (.)co/m for the latest updates Kim Hyunmin, who coughed, changed the subject. “By the way, didn’t they say they would engrave our names on the color phones?” “I heard that they don’t engrave it on the outside of the phone, but on the screen that you can see when you enter the expert mode. Ordinary people can’t see it.” “Oh, well. That’s fine. Just capture it. Anyway, you’re so vain. Right, Yoo-hyun?” “I don’t know.” Yoo-hyun barely held back his laughter and avoided talking about the interview. He preferred a surprise. He smiled as he thought of the 3rd part sitting down with excitement in front of the reporter. That’s when it happened. Someone called Kim Hyunmin. “Hey? Hey. Kim Hyunmin.” A man with a raised hand came through the crowd. “Ah, that bastard.” Kim Hyunmin’s expression crumpled. Park Seungwoo asked quietly. “Do you know him?” Park Seungwoo asked. “He’s just a jerk. They call him Jebin,” Kim Hyunmin answered curtly. Park Seungwoo muttered to himself, “Is it because he looks like a mole...” Was it? To Yoo-hyun’s eyes, he did have a mole-like vibe, with his narrow eyes and face. He couldn’t see his name tag, but the badge on his suit jacket showed that he was from Hansung. He was probably a former colleague of Kim Hyunmin from the appliance division. He could tell by the way he spoke rudely. The man came closer and put his arm around Kim Hyunmin’s shoulder, taunting him. “Hyunmin, what’s up? You’re still working at the company?” “How did you survive without getting fired?” Kim Hyunmin shrugged off his arm with a calm expression. “Hey, I’m a team leader. And I have a very strong chance of being promoted to the next position.” “Oh, lucky you?” His tone was as annoying as his appearance. He was fidgeting with his upper body, looking very unpleasant. At that moment, his name tag flipped over. Yoo-hyun saw the name written on it. Jebin Cho in English, Cho Jebin in Korean. If you pronounce it fast, it sounds like mole. That’s why Hyun Gijung asked him with a softer expression. “Is that so? Is that right?” “Huh? Oh, yes. Ye, yes.” “Good. You should rely on each other as colleagues.” “Thank you.” When Hyun Gijung patted Cho Jebin’s shoulder, he bent his waist again. Kim Hyunmin casually put his hand on the back of Cho Jebin’s head and rubbed it. Thump. Thump. It seemed like he put some force into his hand. Then Hyun Gijung reached out and picked out the names of the people. “Ah, Kim Hyunmin. Park Seungwoo. Han Yoo-hyun.” “Yes, vice president.” “Thanks to you, the exhibition went well. Thank you.” What followed was a sign of gratitude. The vice president came in person and called their names and thanked them. Cho Jebin should have been flustered as his mouth opened wide. But Kim Hyunmin responded with his usual ease. “No, it’s all thanks to the support of the phone division.” Yoo-hyun stuck out his tongue. ‘Is he really the same person?’ He wondered how the person who was talking nonsense until yesterday could change so much. His reaction was so neat that Yoo-hyun admitted it. Hyun Gijung smiled at his words. “Hehe, it’s nice of you to think so. Ah, Kim. You’re going to talk about the color phone in the media?” “Yes. I’m going to interview as an excellent case of the internal contest.” “Good. Then do well on behalf of the company.” Hyun Gijung left with a smile. Kim Sungdeuk hesitated for a moment and said. “I’ll let you know when the interview time comes.” “Thank you.” Yoo-hyun greeted him and Kim Sungdeuk quickly moved on. After the phone division staff left. Cho Jebin was sweating profusely and looked restless as he crossed his legs. Kim Hyunmin reached out with a relaxed expression. “Colleague, it was nice to see you.” “Huh? Uh...” “Bastard, straighten up. You’re a team leader.” He slapped Cho Jebin’s back with his other hand. “Ye, yeah.” “Have a good life at work. Fighting.” He smiled and left. Yoo-hyun and Park Seungwoo followed him. Kim Hyunmin’s back looked bigger than usual today. As Yoo-hyun moved his steps, he heard Kim Hyunmin’s voice. “Interview? What are you talking about?” “Our team members did it.” “Really?” “Yes.” “Good. Very good.” Kim Hyunmin smiled meaningfully. Oh Eunbi, the reporter who watched the whole process, blinked. ‘Did he plan it?’ She saw it clearly. The young employee raised his hand and called Kim Sungdeuk. He conveyed the situation with his eyes, so Kim Sungdeuk could bring Hyun Gijung, who was next to him. Thanks to that, he naturally led the boss’s pride fight to victory. How could he do that in that situation? Oh Eunbi tilted her head. At first, it was just curiosity. She was curious about the identity of the subtle feeling he gave off when their eyes met. But the more she looked, the more amazing it felt. That’s when it happened. He turned his head and met Yoo-hyun’s eyes. ‘Did he smile?’ He smiled lightly and left the Hansung Electronics booth with his colleague. His pace was like telling her to follow him. It was a reporter’s instinct.
