Chapter 159: Chapter 159 There was one more decisive thing. Yoo-hyun remembered the reporter’s face. He had seen him yesterday at the Ilsung Electronics booth, lurking around Nam Yoon-jin, the person in charge. Of course, he didn’t have a camera then. Instead, he had a name tag with the Ilsung Electronics logo on his neck. Snicker. Yoo-hyun smiled coldly. It was interesting. He could clearly see why he was hiding his identity and pretending to be a reporter. He wanted to find any weakness in the Hanseong Electronics panel and make it into a news story. It was a common trick among companies, so Yoo-hyun didn’t bother to stop him. But there was something he wanted to check. How would Lee Kyung-hoon, the director, react? He hadn’t finished what he was preparing behind the scenes. He was in a hurry, but he was tied to the exhibition hall because of the nerve war between Hanseong and Ilsung. And he had drifted away from the center because of the color phone incident. He wanted to make a splash and get some attention, but he had nothing to do, so he was frustrated. He had to set the stage. He had to give him a one-way ticket to hell. Yoo-hyun approached Lee Kyung-hoon, the director, without hesitation. “Team leader.” “Tell me.” Yoo-hyun spoke under the cold gaze of Lee Kyung-hoon, the director. “Sir, the Taiwanese reporter in front of the large slim panel, he’s an Ilsung Electronics employee.” “... Ilsung Electronics? Are you sure?” “Yes. I saw him at the exhibition hall yesterday.” Lee Kyung-hoon, the director, asked with a cold expression. “What if you’re wrong?” “I’ll have to apologize.” “How do you know?” “It looks like he has two name tags stacked on his neck. You need to take off the front one or check his ID.” For a moment, a trace of doubt crossed Lee Kyung-hoon’s face. It wasn’t because he didn’t like Yoo-hyun’s words. It was because he was calculating whether this would benefit him or not. After a brief thought, he glanced at the reporters who were gathered and said. “Do you realize how risky this is?” “Yes. That’s why I was wondering if I should tell the exhibition manager.” “Then why did you tell me?” At Lee Kyung-hoon’s suspicious question, Yoo-hyun moistened his mouth and said. “I thought it would be better to go through you first.” “Haha, yes. There’s a procedure. That was not a bad choice.” “Thank you.” Lee Kyung-hoon put his hand on Yoo-hyun’s shoulder. Yoo-hyun felt a chill. It was the feeling of a hypocrite. He looked like a good boss who wanted to take responsibility for his subordinate. But he knew too well that it wasn’t. Yoo-hyun laughed inwardly at his unchanged appearance. Lee Kyung-hoon called the general affairs team member who was in charge of the exhibition. Then he wrapped up Yoo-hyun’s opinion as if it was his own. “Actually...” “Wow, is that true?” “Check it out quickly.” “Okay.” The general affairs team member’s expression hardened as he listened. It was a sensitive situation, so he seemed to take it very seriously. He got the consent of the TV sales marketing manager who was in charge of the large slim panel, and approached the Taiwanese reporter. Yoo-hyun and Lee Kyung-hoon followed him. Click, click. The reporters were taking pictures of the product while being guided. They didn’t care who was behind them. The general affairs team member took advantage of the gap and leaned in to check the Taiwanese reporter’s name tag. He saw the corner of the one on top sticking out and nodded to Lee Kyung-hoon. “I was lucky.” “Luck is also a skill. You did well. Very well.” Director Lee Kyung-hoon’s intention was simple. He knew that Choi Kang-won, the senior executive, was close to Yoo-hyun because of their connection from the new employee training. He did this because he calculated that it would benefit him in the end. Just as he expected. Yoo-hyun smiled inwardly and gave the credit back to Director Lee Kyung-hoon. “I didn’t do anything well. It was all thanks to you, team leader.” “No, it was you, Yoo-hyun.” “No, team leader. Thank you.” “Haha. You two, you look so good together. I envy the mobile group when I see this. The TV people have no feelings, no feelings.” “Haha! You’re too kind.” A hearty laughter filled the exhibition hall. Can human emotions last forever? It was very common for yesterday’s enemies to become today’s allies. Especially when they have a big interest in front of them, the concept becomes blurry. Especially for someone like Director Lee Kyung-hoon who was quick at calculating? He could flip his feelings like a coin, as if he never had any petty emotions. After Choi Kang-won, the senior executive, left, Director Lee Kyung-hoon and Yoo-hyun faced each other. Yoo-hyun greeted him first. “Team leader, thank you.” “Thank you. We have to rely on each other even in Germany.” “Of course.” Yoo-hyun skillfully delivered a polite remark. Director Lee Kyung-hoon also wore a mask of hypocrisy. At least for now, it was a sign that they were on the same side. “But the color phone exhibitors, they’ll have a hard time. The criticism from Ilsung is so harsh.” “Is that so?” “Well, does it matter? Maybe it’s better to push back the schedule because of this. Haha.” He guessed from that remark. Director Lee Kyung-hoon still had some grudges left. Every time he spoke, he dropped some dirty crumbs of resentment. It was a fitting behavior for his level. It was obvious that Director Lee Kyung-hoon was the one who leaked the color phone internal information to Ilsung Electronics and made it into an article. He was meticulous in this area more than anyone else. He didn’t care about arguing or explaining. Now, he had to gain his trust more urgently. He had to push him off the cliff for sure. “It’ll be fine. There was a lot of criticism, so maybe there will be some good articles too?” “Hahaha! Yeah. I hope so.” “Thank you. Haha.” Yoo-hyun laughed while hiding his true feelings. The eyes of the two masked men crossed in the air. Anyone could see that they were a friendly boss and subordinate. Thanks to the internet, the time for new articles to be uploaded was definitely shortened. In less than two hours, an article edited and uploaded. <Breaking news. Ilsung Electronics employee A, the story behind sneaking into Hanseong Electronics’ private exhibition?> People tend to react more to small news that touches their emotions than to news of billions of embezzlement. The result was as expected. -Wow! How can they do such a thing between domestic companies? -It was also on the Japanese news. What is this? -A childish mistake by the employee, they’ll probably respond like that. “Wow, it became a ranking news in no time.” Oh Eun-bi, the reporter, smiled at the rising views. It wasn’t as much as the Ilsung Electronics TV theft news, but she still got a good counterattack. “I should have uploaded the video of Park, the reporter, being chased by the security guard. Tsk tsk.” She felt sorry, but she couldn’t help it. The industry practice held her back. If she persisted and nagged, she could make Park Wan-yong, the reporter, look worse, but there was something more important. It was the next article. Oh Eun-bi, the reporter, waited eagerly for the reply to her email. A minute after the email was read, she got the phone call she wanted. Ring. It was the phone call from the editor-in-chief.
