Chapter 631:

Meanwhile, the conference room was buzzing with the remark that Yoo-hyun had made.

If it was just a word, they might have dismissed it as nonsense.

But when Team Leader Na Do Yeon showed the data, another big wave occurred.

-JK Communications New LTE Modem Chip Test Results

It was the data that Yoo-hyun had obtained from JK Communications two days ago.

Since Team Leader Na Do Yeon had asked Yoo-hyun to keep it secret, it was also something he couldn’t tell.

As soon as they saw the results, even Assistant Manager Hong Seung Jae, who had experienced all kinds of hardships, was tongue-tied.

“That’s impossible.”

The others didn’t even have anything to say.

A game changer that made the impossible possible had fallen from the sky, and it would have been abnormal if their eyes didn’t roll back.

Whispering.

The noise didn’t stop until the meeting was over.

The noise continued even after Yoo-hyun left the conference room.

Assistant Manager Kim Sung Deuk, who quickly approached him, asked with an excited look.

“Are they really going to supply us with that modem chip exclusively?”

It was a question he had heard several times already, but Yoo-hyun calmly answered.

“We have to make it happen. And we have to pay the price for it.”

“Of course. As long as we can get the supply without any problems, we can do anything.”

“But we still have to do a thorough field test.”

At Yoo-hyun’s request, Assistant Manager Kim Sung Deuk gave an unexpected answer.

“That’s not a problem. It’s JK Communications.”

“Why?”

“When they prepared for the Google reference phone, I saw what they had and I thought we wouldn’t have to do anything.”

“They did well?”

“It wasn’t just well. From what I saw, they fed everything to the development team.”

“That much?”

“Yes. Anyway, thank you. I think we found the way.”

Assistant Manager Kim Sung Deuk winked and turned around.

He looked very excited just by the fact that a possibility had arisen.

Was it that good?

As he quietly watched his back, a man came to Yoo-hyun’s mind.

The friend who made all this possible, Hyun Jin Gun.

-Do you want to do smartphones properly? Then trust me and push it. This chip, at least it doesn’t seem like it will fail.

Hyun Jin Gun had assured him when Yoo-hyun turned his eyes from the acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor to the success of the mobile phone business.

Thanks to his reliable friend backing him up, Yoo-hyun was able to form a team with confidence.

He was able to persuade Vice President Shin Kyung-wook thanks to his one word.

And now, Hyun Jin Gun had proven it with the results.

Just like when he handed over the 5G chip to Yoo-hyun in the past.

‘He’s such an amazing guy.’

Yoo-hyun thought he should call him and took out his phone.

It was then that Kwon Se-jung, who had approached him, spat out a low voice.

His expression looked quite angry.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I told you. I only got that data two days ago.”

“You should have told me anyway.”

“Team Leader told me not to tell. If you had heard that, you would have been able to focus on the presentation, right?”

Team Leader Na Do Yeon had asked for secrecy in order to get the best results in a situation where there was no alternative.

As she expected, everyone worked hard to create a better outcome.

Thanks to that, a fierce debate was possible, and the team’s challenges were concretely organized in the process.

It was a bonus that people’s perspectives were aligned.

He knew this, but he still seemed unhappy.

“So you deliberately put it up at that point?”

“It wasn’t me, it was Team Leader.”

“Fine. I’ll give you a hundred times the benefit of the doubt. But you knew about it before. You should have told me before you moved to the Innovation Strategy Office.”

“Who said it was too much to analyze the internal structure of the mobile phone division?”

“That’s... No, that’s different.”

Kwon Se-jung stumbled at Yoo-hyun’s sudden attack.

He could have argued more logically here, but Yoo-hyun compromised.

“Okay, okay. I’ll buy you coffee.”

When Yoo-hyun pointed out the flaw in his logic, Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung quickly agreed and lowered his voice.

“That’s... Yes. That’s true. But I think you called me for some reason.”

“For some reason.”

“That’s just my feeling. I hope I’m not talking nonsense.”

Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung seemed very cautious, as if he wasn’t convinced himself.

What should he say?

He could just say no and brush it off.

He didn’t have to confide in Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung.

But Yoo-hyun decided to make a different choice.

-Director, no matter what the chairman says, you have to look at the long term. This is not a matter of losing one subsidiary. It will blow a storm over the whole group.

He didn’t want to repeat the past, when he ignored the sincere advice of his colleague for his personal gain.

He didn’t want to lose his precious colleague because of his greed.

Yoo-hyun opened up and approached Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung, who had once been called Han Yoo-hyun’s right arm, sincerely.

“No. Although there are some parts where the cause and effect are strange, the result is correct.”

“Then...”

“Yes. I recommended you too.”

“Really?”

He didn’t expect that, and Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung’s eyes widened.

It was surprising even from the opposite perspective.

He suddenly recommended someone who had no connection or foundation.

But Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung had a tremendous potential.

“If you’re curious about the reason, I can tell you.”

Yoo-hyun reminded him of that fact and offered, but Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung shook his head.

“I don’t need to hear that. That’s not the important thing.”

“Then what’s the important thing?”

“The important thing is that I have a reliable supporter who will support my way of thinking.”

“A supporter?”

“Yes. I think there’s nothing I can’t do with someone who has connections with Vice President Shin Kyung-wook and Laura Parker.”

Was it because he felt confident that he could change things?

Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung looked genuinely excited.

Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung, who had been unsealed, was different.

He didn’t drink his favorite tea until it was cold, but he talked excitedly.

And it was all about the company, which would be boring to others.

“In order for our team to do well in the future...”

“Yes?”

“Yes. We need to divide the team into groups and assign tasks at the same time...”

There were some ideas that caught Yoo-hyun’s ears.

It was about division of labor.

He listened intently and asked.

“But why did you compose the group members like that?”

“Oh, the two-person pairs?”

“Yes. It doesn’t seem like they are divided by rank or experience.”

Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung divided the work area into five large parts, and each pair was in charge of one task.

It seemed obvious at first glance, but the group composition was very unusual.

Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung seemed unsure and scratched his head.

“That’s a bit... Actually, I don’t think I’m qualified to judge by skill, so I excluded that part. Instead, I considered personal preferences a lot.”

“Preferences?”

“Yes. For example, Assistant Manager Kim Sung Deuk is a style that digs deep into one place, unlike what he looks like. He needs a diplomatic type with a wide view to match this analytical style.”

“Is that Kwon Se-jung?”

“I knew it when I saw him present. Kwon has a wide view and a good sense, but he lacks experience. In that sense, he goes well with Assistant Manager Kim Sung Deuk.”

It all made sense when he thought about it.

Yoo-hyun nodded.

“They would have synergy if they work together.”

“That’s right.”

“But Assistant Manager Hong Seung Jae and Assistant Manager Choi Kyu Tae don’t seem to have any synergy, do they?”

“The reason I paired them up is, first of all, because of Assistant Manager Hong Seung Jae’s style...”

It seemed that Section Chief Ahn Jae Kyung had arranged the staff only by their personalities.

There was no work involved at all.
