Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Yoo-hyun turned off the monitor after quickly browsing through the data. “Why...” He looked at Jang Jun-sik, who flinched, and said. “Do you want to go out for a bit?” “It’s working hours.” “An outside visit is fine.” “An outside visit? Okay.” Jang Jun-sik seemed to think that he was going to do some proper work for the first time and hurriedly grabbed his laptop. Yoo-hyun said to him. “You don’t need that. Just bring yourself.” “What kind of...” Jang Jun-sik blinked his eyes. Yoo-hyun did not explain the reason and walked out first. Soon after, Jang Jun-sik followed him, adjusting his clothes. A little later. Yoo-hyun sat down at a cafe in Insa-dong. He leaned back on the soft chair and drank his tea leisurely. Jang Jun-sik, who was sitting across from him, asked with a dumbfounded expression. His table had a cup of tea that he had not touched, steaming hot. “Deputy, what are you doing right now?” “Why?” “It’s working hours. This is a violation of the rules.” “We came for an outside visit. It’s fine.” “What kind of outside visit is this? This is just playing around.” Yoo-hyun left a remark that sounded like Park Seung-woo, the deputy. “No. I’m looking at the future of display right now. Look over there.” He turned his head and pointed his chin. Next to him, a young couple was watching a movie on a small phone. The couple shared one earphone each and laughed at the scenes on the poor screen. “...” Yoo-hyun said to Jang Jun-sik, who was silent. “Do you see why we need ultra-high resolution?” “That’s a word play.” “There’s an answer in the field. This is all mentoring. Drink your tea.” “No, thank you.” Jang Jun-sik shook his head with a stiff expression. Yoo-hyun asked jokingly. “Why? Is the tea too expensive for you?” “No. That’s not it. It’s just that this is too...” Jang Jun-sik was about to pour out his complaints. He thought that if he left him alone, he would make a fuss again, so Yoo-hyun picked up his phone. “Don’t worry. I’ll call someone to pay for your tea.” “What do you mean...” He pressed the call button right away. The other person was Kim Young-gil, the section chief who told him to contact him if he was bored on an outside visit. “Section chief, I’m at a cafe in Insa-dong right now. Buy me a cup of tea. Yes, yes.” “...” Jang Jun-sik looked at Yoo-hyun, who was on the phone, with a dumbfounded expression. Yoo-hyun finished the call and asked him. “Why? Do you want to go back to the office?” “Yes. I want to go back.” “Tsk tsk. I see. But you can’t skip lunch, so wait a little bit.” At Yoo-hyun’s words, Jang Jun-sik took out his wallet. He seemed to be in a hurry as he lifted his butt off the chair and took a half-standing posture. “I’ll just pay for it myself.” “No. That won’t do. Are you saying you don’t respect me as your senior?” “That’s not what I meant.” “Then just stay there.” Yoo-hyun pressed Jang Jun-sik down and enjoyed his leisure for a while. On the other hand, Jang Jun-sik’s expression looked very complicated. That’s how an awkward time passed between them. Suddenly, Lee Chan-ho’s voice came from behind him. “Does Han deputy have no money?” “Huh? Deputy.” Yoo-hyun was surprised and turned his head. Choi Min-hee, the assistant manager, pushed her wallet forward. “You can’t have no money. I’ll pay for it.” “How did you get here...” Yoo-hyun was surprised by the unexpected story. There was no need to mention Jang Jun-sik. That wasn’t the end of it. This time, Kim Hyun-min, the team leader, stepped forward and said. “Hey hey, what’s this? A Hanseong employee can’t even pay for tea?” “Team leader, hello.” “Do you have someone you’re dating?” Choi Minhee asked in surprise. It was then that Kim Hyunmin’s loud voice came from the front. “Hey. Let’s take a picture. Gather quickly.” The part members were already lined up in front of the traditional scenery. Jang Junsik was still wrapped around Kim Hyunmin’s arm. His half-resigned expression looked very funny. “Let’s go, deputy manager.” Yoo-hyun gestured forward, and Choi Minhee looked disappointed. “I want to hear more.” “I’ll tell you later.” Yoo-hyun smiled brightly and raised his hand in reply. “Yes. Let’s go.” Yoo-hyun ran ahead first, and Choi Minhee followed him. Half a day after Yoo-hyun and his group left Insadong. The office of New York Spirit Company was filled with applause. Clap clap clap clap clap. There were also cheers from everywhere. “Alice, congratulations on completing the project.” “Thank you.” After finishing the pleasant greeting, Jeong Dahye returned to her seat. Her colleague asked her as she looked around her seat. “Alice, why? What are you looking for?” “Nothing. There was no visitor who came looking for me, right?” “No. There wasn’t. Why? Do you have someone coming?” “No. Just wondering.” Was it because of the memory of the roses delivered at the last project completion? She thought maybe roses would come again this time. “Crazy. Why am I thinking that?” Jeong Dahye muttered to herself. Swoosh. A man approached and handed her a rose. “You’re Alice, right? Congratulations on completing the project.” “Huh? Oh, yes.” It was the same delivery company and the same message. Jeong Dahye was not even surprised anymore. She picked up her phone right away and sent him a warning message. At that moment. Yoo-hyun received a delivery confirmation message at home. It meant that the flower had been delivered to Jeong Dahye properly. What would her reaction be this time? There was a subtle thrill of anticipation. Yoo-hyun leaned back on his computer desk chair and picked up his phone. It seemed like it was time for him to contact him again. Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring Sure enough, his phone rang right away. He chuckled and pressed the call button. At the same time, Jeong Dahye’s voice echoed through the receiver. She skipped the greetings as if showing her current mood. -I told you not to send me things like this last time, didn’t I? “What are you talking about?” -Don’t pretend you don’t know. She spat out her words sharply, and Yoo-hyun pretended not to know. “Oh, the thing you’re holding in your hand?” -No. Her voice was clearly angry, but why did it feel so familiar? Yoo-hyun recalled the memory of meeting her in San Francisco and spoke casually. “I bought you coffee last time. I don’t like free stuff.” -Then let’s end it here. Let’s not have anything to do with each other from now on. “Hey, you even made an international call for me. How can I do that?” -Stop joking. I’m hanging up. She pressed her voice down and checked his patience. She must have been frowning right now. It was obvious that she had a walnut wrinkle on her chin. Yoo-hyun smiled and asked casually. “Are you not coming to Korea? I should at least treat you to a car.” -I don’t have to see you even if I go. “Still, if you ever think of me, please contact me. I’ll guide you for sure.” -I won’t. Anyway, don’t send me things like this anymore. I’m hanging up. As always, Jeong Dahye announced before hanging up the phone. People’s personalities don’t change easily, they say. That phrase came to him anew. “Okay. Congratulations again. See you soon.” Click. The call was cut off only after Yoo-hyun finished his words.
