Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Yoo-hyun matched his pace with his serious expression. “If things go wrong, you might have to leave the company.” “It’s not over with that. This industry is small and the rumors will spread to other sectors.” “Did you do it, sir?” “Of course not. Why would I?” “...” When Yoo-hyun tried to probe him subtly, Director Lee Tae-ryong stepped back. He was aware of the fact that he could be exposed at any moment. He was always meticulous in this regard, whether in the past or present. Director Lee Tae-ryong smiled smugly as he saw Yoo-hyun’s troubled face. He really treated Yoo-hyun as a mere rookie. Yoo-hyun nodded and supported him. “That’s interesting. You’re really experienced.” “What do you mean?” “You seem to have more expertise than other managers.” “Huhu. I’m not comparable to those mere business managers.” Yoo-hyun crossed his legs and smirked at his arrogant words. It was time to wrap things up. As Director Lee Tae-ryong slowly sipped his tea, Yoo-hyun pinpointed his weakness. “So you leaked the information to Japan?” “What did you say?” Then he threw a name that would completely shake him up. A name that should never be uttered by anyone else. “Tanaka Yoshihiro.” “Gasp.” As soon as that name came out, Director Lee Tae-ryong dropped his teacup. Clang. Glass shards scattered on the floor. Clack. After a brief silence, the office door opened. The manager’s secretary looked flustered and asked. “Sir, are you okay?” “Uh, uh. I’m fine, just go out.” “I’ll clean it up for you.” “I said go out.” Director Lee Tae-ryong snapped angrily and clenched his lips. He felt his legs trembling under the table. Yoo-hyun pulled his chair closer and whispered. “There’s always a trace when you take money.” “You, you...” “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you check it yourself? Oh, right. Tanaka won’t answer your call right now.” “...” As Yoo-hyun revealed his secrets one by one, Director Lee Tae-ryong’s face turned pale. His quivering lips were quite amusing. Was there any more information to get from him? No. Director Lee Tae-ryong would never confess his crimes. He was still keeping his mouth shut for fear of being caught. Grunt. Yoo-hyun got up from his seat without hesitation and said. “I enjoyed the tea. But the flavor was not so good.” “...” “Take care of the aftermath. Goodbye.” “...” Even though Yoo-hyun bowed slightly, he said nothing. His eyes were still shaking, showing his state of mind. Clack.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only Yoo-hyun opened the door and looked into his office window. His face was still drained of color, which was quite impressive. He would live like this for a while. At least until Tanaka answered his call. How would the seed of anxiety that Yoo-hyun planted deep in his heart grow in the meantime? He was looking forward to the process because he knew the outcome. “Let him suffer a bit.” Yoo-hyun walked away with a cold smile on his face. Director Lee Tae-ryong withered day by day. “Haha. How long has it been?” “Yes, sir. How have you been?” Yoo-hyun greeted him politely, and Mr. Yoon Min-han held his hands tightly and said. “I really liked the idea you gave me in Europe.” “That was something Semi Electronics was already doing.” “No. It was thanks to the color phone mockup you made. That’s how we made the full-touch MP3 player.” “Even if I didn’t do it, the engineers here would have come up with the idea.” “You’re so modest. That makes me happy.” He looked at Yoo-hyun with affection in his eyes. Manager Lee Jin-mok was astonished to see the president treating an employee like this. Semi Electronics was a fairly large company. Mr. Yoon Min-han’s reputation was also impressive. How could he care for a mere employee like that? He had never seen such a case before. His surprise didn’t end there. Soon after, they entered the meeting room where the demo equipment was set up. Yoo-hyun took out a panel from the box he brought. “Here’s the panel.” “Okay. Let me try it on.” Kang Jun-ki, who had been in frequent contact with Manager Lee Jin-mok, took the panel and connected it to the mockup. His playful expression was gone and he looked serious. Snap. The messy FPCB and video board fit perfectly into the mockup. The video board that protruded from the mockup edge covered it neatly. That made the panel look smaller than when it was alone. It was a marvelous combination. Even though they had tested the panel before, it was rare to fit it in one go. And the design was also sleek like a high-end phone. Manager Lee Jin-mok exclaimed involuntarily. “Wow, this is amazing.” “...” But the reaction around him was strange. Everyone opened their eyes wide and focused on it. Yoo-hyun pointed out a flaw in that atmosphere. “The seam here seems a bit loose.” “Yoo-hyun, this is fine...” It was a rude response to the people who worked hard, so Manager Lee Jin-mok tried to stop him. But the Semi Electronics staff agreed with him. “We need to change this part. How’s the schedule?” “How long will it take?” “It will take at least three days since we have to send it to the vendor.” “Then let’s reflect it in the revision. And...” Yoo-hyun skillfully went over the progress and changes of the mockup. The engineers who looked experienced took notes of what he said. He had never seen such a scene in any mockup company before. -Yoo-hyun is really tough. He’s so picky that our engineers are scared of him. Manager Lee Jin-mok recalled what Kang Jun-ki had said on the phone. He thought it was just a joke at that time. But it wasn’t. Yoo-hyun, who wasn’t even an engineer, was doing real ‘work’ here. Rather, what he had done so far felt like a mere imitation. His pride wasn’t hurt, but his fist clenched tightly. Then, as Yoo-hyun finished talking about the first phase of changes, an engineer asked him. “So we’ll change the paint and button parts for the first phase. How about the touch part for the second phase?” “Oh, our manager knows about that part well.” Yoo-hyun passed the baton naturally, and Manager Lee Jin-mok started explaining. “Yes. The touch part is...” His eyes were different from before. They sparkled brightly. He didn’t take the mockup lightly anymore. Yoo-hyun smiled slightly at his change. He could tell that he was stimulated by him. As Manager Lee Jin-mok led the discussion vigorously, Kang Jun-ki sneaked up next to Yoo-hyun and whispered to him. “He sounded so casual on the phone, but he’s different now.” “Yeah. He has a lot of experience and skill.” Yoo-hyun’s words were not a lie. In terms of expertise, he could never match Manager Lee Jin-mok. He just had a narrow vision because he was bound by conventions, and Yoo-hyun made him realize that.
