Real Man-Chapter 764
“Mr. Kijun, I heard that you are out of the top 100 in the ranking, aren’t you?”
Yoon Bomi, who was in charge of managing the ranking, answered.
“Exactly, I’m at 172nd place.”
“To be honest, it’s very hard to even enter the top 50 with that rank.”
The Reverb ranking was based on the monthly accumulation.
It was not easy for Won Kijun, who rarely posted articles in the IT review category, to overcome this.
Won Kijun smiled as he saw Gong Hyunjun reaching out his hand.
“Mr. Hyunjun, you are currently ranked third, right?”
“Yes. Why?”
“I’ll show you that I’ll catch up soon.”
Gong Hyunjun chuckled.
“You’re trying to challenge something that’s not easy.”
“You’ll see the result.”
Crack.
The moment their eyes clashed fiercely, Yoo-hyun smiled inwardly.
The competition that would unfold soon would surely unleash their potential.
And a day passed.
Won Kijun’s presentation was clearly a stimulant.
Gong Hyunjun, who usually tried to mingle with people, was nowhere to be seen in the break room.
As Yoo-hyun approached the people gathered in the break room, Yoon Bomi exclaimed.
“Director, what should we do? Both Mr. Hyunjun and Mr. Kijun are on fire right now.”
“On fire?”
“They just sit at their desks and work. They don’t even go to the bathroom. Actually, they don’t have much to do…”
Yoon Bomi said frankly, and Jang Manbok waved his hand.
“Hey! You can’t say that in front of the director. We work so hard.”
“It’s okay. Taking a break is also part of the work.”
“Director, you say that, but we know you’re pressuring us.”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you start the mind game between the Jun brothers?”
“Oh, really?”
Yoon Bomi was surprised, and Jang Manbok raised his voice.
“That’s right. Our old theater director was just like you, a master of mind games.”
“What is a master of mind games?”
“Didn’t you show me Mr. Kijun’s presentation yesterday and make me realize my shortcomings painfully? I reflected a lot.”
Yoo-hyun snorted as he saw Jang Manbok creating a solemn atmosphere out of nowhere.
“Are you acting right now?”
“Probably.”
Yoon Bomi nodded, and Jang Manbok pounded his chest and appealed.
“Acting? That’s absurd. This is a man’s sincerity.”
“I got it.”
“In that sense, director, what should I focus on? I don’t have any expertise like the Jun brothers.”
“Why don’t you have any expertise? You have something you’re good at.”
“Eating? Of course, I’m good at that.”
Yoo-hyun gave him a sincere advice, seeing Jang Manbok showing a rare confidence.
“It’s not just that. Manbok, you have the ability to make good use of your experience. If you dig deeper into the meaningful experiences you had, you will surely create a great outcome.”
“You’re really a master of mind games. My heart is shaking a lot. Ji-hyeon, you too, right?”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
Lee Ji-hyeon, who was suddenly asked, nodded.
She was blinking her eyes in this chaotic atmosphere.
As Yoo-hyun was about to say something, Yoon Bomi’s phone on the table rang.
Beep.
She was startled as she checked the content.
“Hey, look at this. Mr. Kijun posted an article.”
-Reverb Notification Bot: An article by StandardOne has been posted on the Improvement Board.
Jang Manbok was also surprised to see the message.
“What? Does With have that feature?”
“I’ll tell you later. Let’s check the article first.”
Yoon Bomi opened the laptop she had left aside and logged into the site.
Yoo-hyun was also curious, so he sat next to her and looked at the screen.
The title at the top of the improvement board caught his eye.
Click.
Yoon Bomi’s eyes widened as she clicked on the article.
“Huh? He summarized all the questions from yesterday.”
Won Kijun answered each question based on the meeting minutes that Lee Ji-hyeon left in the comments.
He attached images and explained in detail the parts where the response was lacking.
He seemed to have felt a lot from yesterday’s meeting, as he reviewed the past stories.
What caught Yoo-hyun’s attention was the attached file.
-Review Exclusive Video Frame Production Technique
It contained the alternative he had promised to Yoo-hyun.
It was an idea to support the frame for making review videos, which was different from YouTube, which only uploaded simple videos.
If it was realized, ordinary people could easily upload video reviews.
The quality was not bad for an idea that was concretized in a day.
Although it was a bit crude, the core was clearly conveyed.
It was more than expected.
‘Not bad.’
Yoo-hyun accessed his phone and sent the link of the article to Nadoha.
He would judge whether it was feasible or not.
Meanwhile, Jang Manbok, who had carefully examined the content, was flustered.
“Who is this guy? A robot?”
“He worked late yesterday.”
“Wow, his fighting spirit is amazing. Ah, I’m stimulated.”
Jang Manbok, who seemed to regain his senses, slapped his cheeks and Yoon Bomi asked.
“But who will win this battle?”
“What rank is Mr. Kijun?”
“172nd. The gap between him and Mr. Hyunjun is much bigger in terms of revenue.”
“Third versus 172nd.”
The deadline that Gong Hyunjun and Won Kijun set was a month.
It didn’t seem easy to reverse the huge gap within that time.
But they couldn’t ignore Won Kijun’s strength either.
As Yoo-hyun was pondering, Jang Manbok cut in.
“Director, should we bet too?”
“Who will win?”
“Let’s bet on the outcome of the match. The loser pays for the drinks,” Jang Manbok suggested, rolling his eyes.
“But the match is between those two. We should pay to cheer them up, even if we lose,” Yoon Bomi said.
“That’s exactly what I think. Isn’t alcohol for sharing consolation with the loser and joy with the winner? Of course, giving a gift of encouragement is also an option.” Jang Manbok changed his words subtly.
Yoo-hyun chuckled, and Yoon Bomi spoke up.
“Come to think of it, I don’t think this is the time for you to worry about that, Manbok.”
“What do you mean?”
“I think you should join the match too. You should use this opportunity to post some reviews and aim for the top 50.”
Jang Manbok immediately whined.
“I want to do that. But who will manage the site? Who will handle the inquiries and the advertising?”
“I do that. Ji-hyeon helps too.”
“Haha. Bomi, you’re funny. Let’s talk about that later. I’ll buy the drinks, so how about a drink today?”
As he asked, Yoo-hyun’s phone rang.
Beep.
-Bro, you said you’re going to A-One today, right? I have some work to do there too, so let’s talk there.
“Sorry, maybe next time. I have an important appointment today.”
Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders and got up from his seat.
He had someone to meet after a long time.
A-One was a security company located on the outskirts of Seoul, which Yoo-hyun acquired a year ago.
It was a company on the verge of bankruptcy at the time, but now it occupied a whole floor of the building.
The building was small, so it was still cramped.
It was time to expand further.
A man in a black suit greeted Yoo-hyun as he arrived at his destination.
Snap.
‘He’s doing this again, making me uncomfortable.’
Yoo-hyun nodded slightly as he received the greeting, and the man bowed.
“Hello, chairman.”
“Mr. Park, don’t call me chairman.”
“Director Shim ordered me to do so. Please allow me.”
“Goodness.”
He had asked to remove his title since he decided not to interfere with the management, but it was still the same.
He felt like he had to talk to them again.
Yoo-hyun sighed inwardly and entered the building.
The situation inside was not much different.
Men in neat suits greeted Yoo-hyun.
“Welcome, chairman.”
“How have you been?”
The oldest-looking man approached Yoo-hyun and spoke politely.
“Thanks to your generous support, we are doing well. We are always grateful to you.”
The man, who combed his hair neatly, was named Shim Jong-sik.
He was the director of A-One and one of the few employees who remained when Yoo-hyun took over.
He looked very clumsy back then, but now he had grown confident.
A lot had changed, but his special affection for Yoo-hyun was still the same.
-Chairman, thanks to you paying the overdue salary, my daughter was able to have surgery safely. Thank you very much.
The financial measures that Yoo-hyun took when he acquired A-One were the reason.
What he thought was obvious, was very big for the people who received it.
Thanks to that, Yoo-hyun was able to blend into A-One easily.
Yoo-hyun waved his hand as he recalled the memory.
“I didn’t do anything special.”
“You also got the security contract from Hansung…”
“Hansung?”
“Oh, right! The CEO hasn’t arrived yet. Should I call him?”
Director Shim Jong-sik pretended not to know and beat around the bush, and Yoo-hyun waved his hand.
“No. I came early on purpose.”
“You want to see the manager, right? He’s waiting for you in the office.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Yoo-hyun thanked him and headed to the office.
Creak.
As he opened the door and entered, he saw Nadoha sitting on the sofa table and working.
Yoo-hyun sat across from him and pointed to his laptop.
“Why are you working here uncomfortably?”
“It’s more uncomfortable to work in the office.”
“Why?”
“The uncles keep calling me manager. They say I have to establish a clear system after taking over the Hansung project. They even use honorifics.”
Nadoha was the cute youngest until he made the smart CCTV system.
But after the fact that he had a stake in A-One spread, and he took charge of building Hansung’s security system, the atmosphere changed completely.
Yoo-hyun snickered.
“Call me chairman.”
“That’s what Uncle Jong-sik always did.”
“Not the others. They didn’t even greet me in advance.”
“Greeting? Haha. That’s a bit much.”
“Whatever. What are you doing?”
Yoo-hyun asked as he sighed, and Nadoha turned his laptop screen.
“I was checking the security system upgrade request from Hansung.”
“Didn’t you finish it?”
“I did the major stuff, but they keep worrying. They want me to handle all kinds of situations and exceptions. Look at this.”
Nadoha pointed to Hansung’s request.
“ID card selection check security method? What’s that?”
“They decided to randomly select the security inspection targets to reduce the gate pass time during commuting.”
“That was in the additional request items.”
“Yes. But they say simple random selection is too risky for security, and they want me to reflect the ID card history in the selection criteria. For example, at the Gimpo factory…”
The initial agreement was just to support the security work, but the work grew bigger.
They wanted to use the smart security system that Nadoha developed, and now they wanted to expand it to the subsidiary factories.
Would they end up taking charge of Hansung’s security system entirely?
The story that started with security naturally led to Won Kijun’s idea.
