Real Man

Chapter 695

As she recalled those moments, Jeong Da-hye smiled softly in front of the children who were playing around.

“Kyahahaha!”

They looked very happy as they held their mom and dad’s hands and smiled brightly.

It was a scene of everyday life that she once thought would never be given to her.

But not anymore.

Before she knew it, her empty heart was filled with happy emotions.

That’s why she could smile so radiantly.

How could she change so much?

She was very grateful to Yoo-hyun, who taught her the happiness of everyday life.

But now, in this time they spent together, she had to pause for a moment.

She had a longing in her heart that she couldn’t settle for this.

Swoosh.

She took out the ticket she had secretly prepared.

-Ferris wheel for two.

‘I have to tell him before it’s too late.’

She wanted to stay with Yoo-hyun, but she couldn’t lie to herself anymore.

As she made up her mind, a child came up to her and blinked his big eyes.

She asked the child, who had a pale face.

“What is it?”

“Please take this.”

The child, who had been smiling bashfully, brought out five caras that he had hidden behind his back.

Then he said the meaning of the five caras.

“Miss Ellis, there is no one like you in the world.”

“...”

As Jeong Da-hye took the flowers blankly, the child disappeared with a smile.

And after that, Yoo-hyun walked over.

Trudge trudge.

He had a smile that seemed to know that today was the last day.

He was always like that.

He always understood her feelings first.

She was thankful, and thankful again.

With a surge of emotion, Jeong Da-hye got up from her seat.

Then she ran to Yoo-hyun and hugged him.

Wham.

They didn’t need any words right now.

Yoo-hyun embraced her in his arms.

Soon, the night fell, and the amusement park was lit up with beautiful lights.

The light spread to the beach that touched it.

Yoo-hyun looked down at the scenery from the slowly rotating giant Ferris wheel.

Jeong Da-hye, who held his hand in their own space, asked.

“How did you know, Yoo-hyun?”

“Know what?”

“That I have something to say to you today.”

“I didn’t know.”

“Liar. Then why did you give me this? As if it’s the last confession?”

Jeong Da-hye showed him the five caras.

Yoo-hyun asked instead of answering.

“Da-hye, have you decided what you want to do yet?”

“You knew it, didn’t you?”

“You’re not the type to settle for less. Do you have anything you want to do?”

“Well, I haven’t decided yet. I’m just going to stay in New York by myself for a while and look for it.”

New York was like her hometown.

It was natural that she needed to sort out her thoughts before leaving this place.

She also had family issues in Korea, so it would take more time to move there.

Since he had expected that, Yoo-hyun decided not to be pushy.

Instead, he sincerely wished for her future.

“Da-hye, you’ll surely find it.”

“I hope so. It won’t take that long. I’ll be there soon.”

“Then I’ll have to get ready in Korea as soon as possible.”

“Yes, please do. Make it comfortable for me.”

“Of course. That’s my specialty.”

Jeong Da-hye chuckled at Yoo-hyun’s easygoing manner.

He was always a man who gave her laughter.

“Why are there so many obstacles to putting one chip in your company’s phone?”

“It’s not our company anymore.”

“Anyway. Ilsung said they would buy our chip and sign a contract, but the Japanese companies said they would pay twice as much as Hansung. Even Qualcomm pressured us.” ŕÂNȱᛒĘS

Shin Kyung-soo’s meddling didn’t stop even after Choi Jae-ki left.

The success of the next Hansung smartphone meant the success of Shin Kyung-wook, the vice president, so he tried to stop it by any means.

But would that be easy?

Yoo-hyun imagined Shin Kyung-soo’s frustrated face and asked.

“What did Qualcomm say?”

“They wanted us to sell our technology. When we refused, they said they wouldn’t give their AP to Hansung.”

“What? Why did they say that to JK Communications?”

“They probably think that if Hansung can’t use their latest AP, they won’t use our modem either, I guess.”

“That’s funny.”

Yoo-hyun laughed and Hyun Jin-geon asked in surprise.

“Aren’t you worried? Hansung is more of a problem than us.”

“They must have handled it well.”

“Anyway, you’ve cut off your feelings.”

He didn’t cut off his feelings, he just stepped back and watched.

Of course, he already knew the internal situation through the report from Jang Jun-sik, the assistant manager.

-We renegotiated with the purchasing team about the Qualcomm AP contract. Qualcomm said they would raise the price, but we concluded that there was no problem as we had already signed a pre-contract as the manager suggested.

There was a decisive reason why he didn’t care much.

No matter how hard Shin Kyung-soo tried, Yoo-hyun was the major shareholder of JK Communications.

It meant that he could stop any method the other side used.

Of course, he didn’t say that outright.

“I didn’t cut off my feelings, I just trust them to do well.”

“Yeah. Hansung must have put a lot of penalties on the pre-contract. Thanks to that, Qualcomm finally backed down.”

“Good for them.”

Yoo-hyun pretended not to know and Hyun Jin-geon nodded.

“They did a good job of responding first. But they might disadvantage you in the next version.”

“Do you mean they’ll retaliate?”

“Probably. Hansung doesn’t have much power yet.”

“They just need to sell well and gain strength. Even if they don’t, they can use what you guys developed later.”

“Making an AP is not easy.”

In fact, making an AP, which is the brain of a smartphone, is a difficult task.

It was a fact that could be seen by the fact that there were only a few companies that had AP design technology.

But what if they could make a proper AP?

They could become a major semiconductor design company in an instant.

Especially for JK Communications, which had modem technology, the synergy would be tremendous.

Hyun Jin-geon was trying to challenge something he had never done before.

“Didn’t you bring in the core AP design staff from ARM?”

When Yoo-hyun pointed that out, Hyun Jin-geon was dumbfounded.

“Where did you hear that? It’s not an open story yet.”

“Who do you think?”

“It must be Paul. He talks a lot even though he said it was a secret.”

“He must have been happy that his efforts paid off.”

Hyun Jin-geon chuckled and nodded.

“I guess so. That’s why he talked a lot about you to me.”

“What did he say?”

“He said he helped you by calling Lucasfilm.”

Yoo-hyun smirked, remembering the conversation he had with Paul Graham a while ago.

“What? He made a big deal out of nothing, really.”

“But Paul seems to care a lot about you. He talks about you a lot. He’s not usually the type to talk about others.”

“I’m supposed to meet him tomorrow. He said he had something to tell me.”

“What does he want to tell you?”

It was when Hyun Jin-geon asked.

Sliding.

The sliding door opened and Hyun Jin-geon’s younger brother Hyun Jin-soo stuck his head out.

He was currently in charge of accounting and sales at JK Communications.

“Brother, sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I got another call from the Huawei M&A department head.”

“He called me earlier too. Why is he doing that again?”

“It’s the same thing as last time, you know. They said they would buy our company for 20 billion dollars without any conditions, what should we do?”

Huawei? 20 billion dollars?

Yoo-hyun perked up his ears at the unexpected appearance of the Chinese giant and the huge amount.
