Real Man-Chapter 761

There was a reason why Yoo-hyun paid his employees in advance on their first day of work.

He wanted them to go home early and spend some quality time with their families.

But Jang Manbok wouldn’t let him.

“Boss, when are we going to have a welcome party if not on the first day of work?”

He persuaded the others with his strong logic and led them to a pub behind the building.

Yoo-hyun wondered why they had to go to a pub, but it turned out to be bigger and fancier than he expected.

The atmosphere was nice and the food looked promising.

-The outside is a pub, the inside is a restaurant that rivals the best! ★★★★

Jang Manbok, who was picky about food, gave four stars to the place in his review.

It seemed to be a popular spot, as Yoo-hyun saw many familiar faces from the same building.

Jang Manbok introduced the food on the table.

“This is a fusion Chinese-style chicken, the epitome of crispy and moist.”

“Crispy and moist?”

Yoon Bomi tilted her head and Jang Manbok explained.

“It means the outside is crispy and the inside is moist. The thin batter makes it crispy, and the meat soaked in milk makes it moist. And the sweet and salty sauce adds to the flavor. You can’t go wrong with it.”

“Sweet and salty? What’s that?”

“It’s a food that’s both sweet and salty. Try it. It stimulates your taste buds and relieves your stress.”

“Haha! Crispy and moist and sweet and salty! I learned a lot today.”

Yoon Bomi laughed and Jang Manbok shouted confidently.

“Please remember! This style of food will be the trend in the future.”

Was he really speaking from knowledge?

Yoo-hyun didn’t know for sure, but the two words he uttered became so popular that Yoo-hyun had heard them somewhere.

As far as Yoo-hyun remembered, it was not too far in the future.

‘He has a good sense.’

No wonder Jang Manbok’s writing resonated with many people.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and picked up the bottle.

“The food is all here, so let’s have a drink.”

“Oh, boss, I don’t know what to do with myself.”

“Manbok, don’t overdo it.”

“It’s not overdoing it, it’s my dream to have a drink with the boss of the company I joined. Haha!” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

The 10-year-old unknown actor who had always suffered in the job market smiled brightly.

Behind his cheerful expression, there was a glimpse of a father who supported his family.

-It wasn’t hard. It was a great happiness to eat delicious food with my wife with the little money I earned.

Yoo-hyun recalled his words from the interview and poured him a drink.

Chirp.

He put his wish for Jang Manbok’s life to be more prosperous through Reverb in the drink.

Yoo-hyun filled the empty glass of Gong Hyunjun and then looked at Won Gijun.

They had a lot of conversations, but he still had a stiff expression.

Yoo-hyun tilted the bottle and said.

“Gijun, I’m really glad to meet you.”

“Thank you, boss.”

Won Gijun took the glass with a sharp posture.

His appearance in a suit and his rigid tone reminded Yoo-hyun of his junior, Jang Junshik.

But Won Gijun was not an inflexible person.

His career so far showed that he was rather very progressive.

But why did he feel like he was deliberately drawing a line?

Yoo-hyun decided to wait and see for a while.

Next, Yoo-hyun filled Lee Jihyun’s glass.

She kept looking around as if she was uncomfortable.

“You don’t have to drink if you can’t.”

“No, no. I like alcohol.”

She lowered her hand and emptied the glass right away.

Jang Manbok laughed loudly.

“Haha! You really do like it. You drank it all before we even toasted.”

“Ah… I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry. Drink as much as you want.”

She received another glass and her face turned red.

She looked helpless and timid.

The online star ‘Flora’ who was famous for her witty words and cute pictures and the offline Lee Jihyun who was very bad at socializing were very different.

Yoo-hyun also poured a drink for Yoon Bomi and raised his glass.

He turned his head and looked at the faces of his employees.

Jang Manbok, Gong Hyunjun, Won Gijun, Lee Jihyun, Yoon Bomi.

They were different in appearance, age, and personality, but they all shared the same love for Reverb.

Looking at them, Yoo-hyun remembered what Park Young-hoon, the boss of two companies, had said to him a while ago.

-It’s different when you’re in a well-established company and when you’re starting from the bottom. You’re basically having your own people for the first time.

‘My people.’

They were still raw stones who didn’t even know what they had in their hearts.

Depending on what Yoo-hyun did, their potential could blossom or be buried.

His shoulders felt heavy, but why did his heart beat?

Thump thump.

Maybe he was looking forward to the new future he would create with them.

And that was something Yoo-hyun couldn’t do alone.

Each and every one of them had to shine brightly for Reverb to reach the world.

Yoo-hyun lowered his posture and said with his heart.

“Please take good care of me.”

“Please take good care of me!”

The glasses clinked with a loud voice.

Was it because of the delicious food and alcohol?

The awkward air gradually loosened and even the silent ones spoke a word or two.

Won Gijun let go of his stiff demeanor and Yoon Bomi was impressed.

“Oh, your voice is exactly the same as the one I saw on YouTube.”

“Would it be different from my mouth?”

“I thought it would be. Right, Manbok?”

“Haha! Yeah. I thought he dubbed everything. Even the interviews.”

“Manbok, just sing one verse.”

Won Gijun gave him a look, but Jang Manbok was relaxed.

He didn’t lose his social skills.

“Don’t be so grumpy. You don’t have to put me down. No one here looks down on you, Gijun.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“But why did you apply to our company? You didn’t make much money, did you?”

“Do I have to answer that?”

“Of course. If you don’t, it’s a one-shot, one-shot. Hahaha!”

It was when Jang Man-bok laughed loudly.

A group of men approached from the next table.

Their faces were flushed from drinking.

A middle-aged man in the lead sneered.

“Oh, this table has a very good atmosphere.”

“Huh? Mr. President. Hello.”

Tap tap.

The man tapped Jang Man-bok’s back, who recognized him, and glanced at Yoo-hyun.

“This kid is so friendly, even when he gave us rice cakes. Unlike his boss.”

“Ha ha. No, I told you, the rice cakes were ordered by our president.”

“Aha. The rice cakes were delicious.”

The man’s eyes, which were slit like buttonholes, turned to Yoo-hyun.

Yun Bo-mi, who was next to him, whispered.

“That’s the president of Nice Media on our floor.”

“Really?”

Yoo-hyun thought he had seen him somewhere, but it turned out they were on the same floor.

Since he came all the way here, it was polite to greet him.

Grrr.

As Yoo-hyun was about to open his mouth, the man leaned his face in.

“Now, what does our young president think of the situation just now?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, just now. Just now. It was a bit noisy, wasn’t it?”

What was he up to?

Before Yoo-hyun could narrow his eyes, Jang Man-bok jumped up and apologized.

“I’m sorry, I have a loud voice. I’ll be careful.”

“Hey, what’s the point of being careful now? Our employees have already lost their appetite for drinking.”

“I’m sorry for ruining the mood. I’ll apologize a hundred times.”

Jang Man-bok bowed very politely, and the man waved his hand smugly.

“That’s enough. I don’t want an apology from you. It’s not like that. Right, Kim Manager?”

“Yes. Our president is not someone who accepts apologies from anyone.”

“Then what should we do…”

“Ha ha! Look at this kid, he’s so quick to give in. How can a man have such a small stomach?”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

The men who followed him also laughed along.

Yoo-hyun watched them and realized what Gong Hyun-joon meant by ‘ignoring’.

He must have suffered a similar humiliation from these people when he gave them rice cakes.

What should he do?

He wanted to crush them right away, but it was not good to create an awkward relationship.

It was not a good direction for the River employees who shared the same floor with them.

More than anything, there was another reason why Yoo-hyun did not stand up strongly.

‘After all, they are tenants.’

The president of the building management company, who he met after signing the building contract, had said.

-Mr. President, here is the list of companies whose contracts are expiring soon in the building. Please let me know if you want to renew or not, and I’ll sort it out right away.

Since they were companies whose contracts were about to expire, he had to send them off with a smile.

It was out of the question to cause trouble by acting like a bully landlord.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and apologized instead.

“I’m sorry if we disturbed you.”

“Hey, you’re a young president, so you don’t know, but an apology is not something you say with words. If you disturbed us, you should at least buy us a drink.”

“Sure. I’ll buy you a drink.”

Yoo-hyun agreed readily, and the man laughed.

“Ha ha! I’m kidding, kidding. Why are you so angry?”

“Angry? I just want to buy you a drink. We just moved in, so I want to greet you.”

“Greeting is another story. How much do you think our table’s drinks cost?”

“What can I do for you?”

Look at this guy.

The man looked at Yoo-hyun leisurely and looked around.

“I can see that half of the people here are from our building. If you want to greet them, you have to do it to everyone.”

“Yes. Then that’s what I should do. Thank you for letting me know.”

“What did you say?”

“Mr. President, this is my fault…”

Jang Man-bok lowered his head, not knowing what to do.

As Yoo-hyun made him sit down, the Nice Media president raised his hand.

He called the pub owner and smirked at Yoo-hyun.

“Let’s see how far you can bluff.”

“I’m not bluffing, I’m greeting.”

Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders and spoke to the pub owner who came over.

Whisper whisper.

The pub owner’s eyes widened as he heard Yoo-hyun’s whisper.

He checked again and waved his hand, looking troubled.

The Nice Media president snickered.

‘He’s playing.’

He must have been shocked by the price and tried to bargain.

It was understandable, since paying for all the drinks in the pub would cost millions of won.

That was not an amount that a president of a tiny company could easily afford.

He would eventually lower his tail after bluffing.

Then he would give him a proper humiliation.

The Nice Media president lifted one corner of his mouth.

It was then.

The pub owner went to the entrance and grabbed the microphone.

The Nice Media president was puzzled, and then his voice came through the speaker.

-The president of River on the 20th floor of Gwanghwamun Future Tower has rung the Golden Bell. It’s a celebration of his move-in, so you can enjoy the food and drinks for free without any burden.

The whole pub was stirred up.

Whoo!

“Wow! Golden Bell!”

“The whole place? That’s awesome.”

Some people came over and greeted him.

“We also work at Future Tower. Nice to meet you.”

“River is cool.”

“Congratulations on your move-in. I’ll buy you a coffee next time.”

“Please take good care of us.”

They even clapped.

Clap clap clap clap clap.

In this atmosphere, the Nice Media president had nothing to say.

His face turned red, and Yoo-hyun said to him.

“I’ll pay for it, so enjoy yourself.”

“…”

“If you need anything else, please let me know. I’ll pay for the extra food as well.”

In front of Yoo-hyun’s kind smile, the Nice Media president finally lowered his tail.
