Real Man C.558:

Yoo-hyun pushed the negotiation table back without hesitation.

“Then I’ll take off 750 million won. If you don’t like it, we can cancel the contract.”

“…”

“Brother, just close your eyes and end it.”

Byun Il-hong, who had to get the commission somehow, urged him. Seo Wang-sik pounded his chest in frustration.

“Ah.”

Squeak.

Yoo-hyun’s mouth curled up long.

Everything was decided the moment Yoo-hyun took the contract in his hand.

Seo Wang-sik had to meet the director to get the signature, even if it was for that.

It was not just going to the gym and seeing his face.

“Hey, you son of a bitch.”

“Grr. I’m sorry, I can’t do it anymore.”

He had to endure being cursed in front of the director.

After paying back the electricity bill and interest, he also supported the facility construction cost that he had promised when remodeling.

That was not the end.

Seo Wang-sik, who was looking around the empty second floor building, burst into anger.

“What, why do I have to do the construction for the first and second floors? If you’re going to do that, give me more money.”

“You clearly said in the contract that you would do all the repairs. President Byun, isn’t that right?”

Byun Il-hong, who received Yoo-hyun’s gaze, pulled Seo Wang-sik’s arm.

“Brother, he’s not wrong. There’s no reason to make a fuss.”

“Do you know how much money is going out? This is really…”

“Let’s finish it quickly, I don’t have time either.”

“…”

Seo Wang-sik could not say anything, looking at Yoo-hyun who waved his hand.

He had apologized to the bastard and gave him money, but he could not do anything now.

This process was repeated several times.

The more it happened, the darker Seo Wang-sik’s face became.

When Yoo-hyun finished all the work and came out, it was dark.

Park Young-hoon, who had sunglasses on his head, shrugged his shoulders and laughed loudly.

“Hahaha.”

“What’s so funny?”

“Don’t you like seeing the shit-faced expression of the building owner? I felt so good.”

“The highlight was when he bowed his head to the director.”

Yoo-hyun recalled the director’s expression when he got the money from Seo Wang-sik.

It was the first time since Lee Jang-woo became a champion that the director smiled so brightly.

Park Young-hoon, who remembered the same scene, asked with a shrug.

“Haha. But is 50 million won really an apology fee?”

“Of course not. Thanks to that, I got the repairs done neatly. I think it’s worth the investment.”

“Do you really think this place will go up?”

“Maybe? Well, I’m not going to sell it for a while, so it doesn’t matter.”

Yoo-hyun was not an expert on real estate, but he knew that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy a building in Seoul at this price.

He also guessed that in the near future, a research complex of Ilsung Group would come in and redevelopment would take place.

How much would the building value increase then?

Yoo-hyun smiled, thinking of a fun hypothesis.

Park Young-hoon, who followed his smile, suddenly opened his mouth.

“By the way, the office is really nice.”

“Right. It’s spacious, and the windows are big.”

“And it’s right under the gym.”

“There won’t be a dull moment.”

“Right? I can’t believe it.”

He looked up at the sky and walked with a nostalgic expression.

Yoo-hyun looked at him as if he was ridiculous.

“What can’t you believe? You’re the one who wrote your resignation letter as soon as you heard my words.”

“That’s different. This is something I have to take full responsibility for.”

“Don’t be so serious. It’s okay to lose money and go bankrupt.”

“No way. How could that happen?”

Yoo-hyun gave him some advice based on his experience.

“I’m not saying that it won’t happen. I’m saying that you should relax.”

“I relaxed.”

“Relax more. You don’t want to be a stiff and boring company like your previous one, do you?”

He seemed to have thought about it, and Park Young-hoon answered vigorously.

“Of course. I’m going to have a lot of fun. Playing and eating is my goal.”

“That’s a good ambition.”

“Oh, when is that friend you told me coming?”

Yoo-hyun thought of the time he met Nadoha a few days ago.

He came to the vicinity of Yoo-hyun’s company and argued against Yoo-hyun’s proposal.

-An interview? Why me? I’m expensive, you know. I’m a person who deserves at least 3,000 a year.

He didn’t like being dragged around, and he didn’t make an appointment.

But he looked very reluctant to hear Yoo-hyun’s offer to match his salary.

Yoo-hyun recalled Nadoha’s wavering eyes and answered.

“He’ll contact me soon.”

“That’ll be fun. I wanted to try an interview once.”

“You have a lot of office worker fantasies, don’t you?”

“Who doesn’t?”

Yoo-hyun, who had experienced countless interviews, had no reason to have such fantasies.

But his words were different.

“Well, I think it’ll be fun too.”

“See? I knew you’d like it.”

“That’s not the reason.”

How would the innocent Nadoha say and do?

Yoo-hyun was looking forward to Nadoha’s interview for a different reason.

Yoo-hyun, who spent the weekend, took a vacation until Monday as planned.

He paid the balance and settled the building issue cleanly, and stopped by the bank to sort out the money.

It was not his company, but he had some stake in it, so he felt obliged to care.

Building interior, electrical work, communication network installation, sign work, furniture selection work, etc.

He had one thing to feel while working on various things.

‘Jin-gun, you must have had a hard time.’

It was hard enough to move into his own building in Korea, but Hyun Jin-gun did this process alone in the United States.

All Yoo-hyun did for him was a few phone calls.

Yoo-hyun hid his embarrassed feelings and thought he should call him once in a while.

It was then.

Ring.

A message from Vice President Shin Kyung-wook popped up on the phone screen.

-I’m on my way back from Geoje. I felt like having comic cafe kongguksu after a long time, so I contacted you.

Already?

It was only an hour ago that he received a message from Manager Park Doo-sik that he was carrying out the operation.

Yoo-hyun quickly replied to Shin Kyung-wook, who had done everything in a short time.

-It looks like you wrapped it up well. You really worked hard.

-What did I do? I just showed my face.

-That’s enough. You’re not a handsome guy, after all.

-Enough with the nonsense. Can I go to the comic cafe with ease now?

He stopped going to the comic cafe that he used to go with him as soon as Yoo-hyun entered the group strategy room.

Even now, Yoo-hyun avoided going near Hansung Tower as much as possible.

He didn’t want to get caught by Lee Joon-il’s radar.

But the situation was changing rapidly.

-Of course. It’s not long left.

He confidently answered and imagined the future.

A huge flow that fit perfectly unfolded before Yoo-hyun’s eyes.

The effect of Shin Kyung-wook’s visit to Geoje was evident the next day.

Vroom.

Yoo-hyun sat in the back seat of the bus on his way to work and looked at the results with a relaxed expression.

On the phone screen that Yoo-hyun was holding, there was an article.

-A US biosimilar company, SG Bio, declared to establish a research complex base in Geoje, Korea. The Korean political circles are…(omitted)…

What caught his eye more than anything was the surprise appearance of Shin Kyung-wook, the crown prince of Hansung Group.

The SG Bio executives seemed to be surprised by the unexpected visit.

An industry insider said that Shin Kyung-wook’s appearance was…

As he skimmed through the content, Yoo-hyun chuckled at the picture in the middle of the article.

“He must be happy that he took a good picture this time.”

It was not a joke, Shin Kyung-wook’s face came out quite dignified.

It was very contrasted with the startled look of the SG Bio executives.

If you only look at this picture, wouldn’t everyone think that Shin Kyung-wook is the protagonist?

It was not only Yoo-hyun who felt this way.

Thanks to that, Shin Kyung-wook erased the background of the day with just his appearance.

Even the part that Lee Joon-il had deliberately set up for the SG Bio’s Korea entry ceremony was buried by one picture.

Articles that proved this fact poured out.

Of course, they were all speculative contents, and there was no substance.

But they all had one thing in common: Shin Kyung-wook was at the center.

Thanks to that, the comments on this news, which was nothing but gossip, increased rapidly.

It was too much attention for a foreign company’s entry into Korea.

Tick.

Yoo-hyun pressed the button and opened the comments.

-SG Bio my ass. Hansung should buy Shinwa Semiconductor.

-Why acquire a US company? They don’t even have sales yet.

-They are famous for their biosimilar technology. It’s perfect for Hansung Life Science, which has no bio.

-Stop talking nonsense. Bio still has more than 10 years left. Hansung needs to prepare for the immediate future.

Shinwa Semiconductor shareholders, Hansung Electronics shareholders, they all joined the war and the comments were all about the acquisition.

There was nothing about why SG Bio entered Korea and what they would do.

From the perspective of Lee Joon-il, who planned this from behind, it would have been a crazy situation.

He imagined that scene and Yoo-hyun’s mouth curled up.

It was then.

Ring. Ring.

The phone rang and Manager Park Doo-sik’s name popped up on the screen.

As the bus stopped, Yoo-hyun got off the bus and answered the phone.

“I was expecting you to call.”

-Did you check the article?

“Yes. You wrote it amazingly, didn’t you?”

-Haha. I had a hard time writing the script while watching the vice president’s mood. To get ahead of the Hansung Life Science executives there…

Manager Park Doo-sik’s voice, full of excitement, revealed Lee Joon-il’s strategy.

Lee Joon-il planned to acquire SG Bio through Hansung Life Science.

It was a reasonable choice for Hansung Life Science, a pharmaceutical company, to swallow SG Bio, which had no bio.

He also brought the Hansung Life Science executives to the SG Bio’s Korea entry ceremony for that reason.

But what?

Shin Kyung-wook’s surprise appearance completely ruined Lee Joon-il’s strategy.

Instead of connecting Hansung Life Science and SG Bio, Shin Kyung-wook took the initiative.

Manager Park Doo-sik’s efforts were hidden behind that.

Yoo-hyun said with a very happy face.

“You did well. Thanks to you, the Hansung Life Science story was completely buried.”

-Is this a success for the first operation?

Manager Park Doo-sik’s voice was pleased and Yoo-hyun quickly replied.

“Yes. More than expected.”

-I’m glad. It’s not just being pushed.

“Pushed?”

-As expected, the group strategy room started to pressure us from last week. They said they would audit us. It’s like saying let’s go to war.

Despite the serious situation, Manager Park Doo-sik’s voice was relaxed.
