It was after the meeting.
As Yoo-hyun came out of the meeting room, Manager Ahn Jae Kyung approached him.
“Manager, I was very impressed by what you said today.”
“Did I make the atmosphere too sharp?”
“Not at all. On the contrary, I felt better about it.”
“Really?”
Yoo-hyun felt doubtful, as it was clearly a tense atmosphere.
Manager Ahn Jae Kyung, who was more sensitive than anyone to the discord around him, answered with a confident voice.
“Yes. At first, everyone was confused, but later, they seemed to mostly accept your words. Especially the team leader, he was very pleased.”
Yoo-hyun could tell from the team leader’s bright smile after the meeting.
-What kind of wind blew that made you come back to the rebellious Han Yoo-hyun manager from the group strategy room?
She was very excited by Yoo-hyun’s change.
It seemed like there was some misunderstanding, but it was definitely a positive reaction.
“Then I’m glad.”
He chuckled and replied, and Manager Ahn Jae Kyung suddenly asked.
“Are you preparing for a long vacation now?”
“Did it look like that?”
“Yes. There’s no other reason for you to suddenly step up like this.”
Yoo-hyun and Manager Ahn Jae Kyung had talked about this before.
Yoo-hyun was secretly amazed by his intuition and nodded.
“That might be the case.”
“I hope you have a good trip. I’ll support you well in the meantime, so you don’t feel the absence of the manager.”
But Manager Ahn Jae Kyung didn’t know that Yoo-hyun was quitting.
Yoo-hyun reached out his hand to Manager Ahn Jae Kyung, who smiled brightly.
He wanted to shake hands firmly, as it might be the last time.
“Just as a way of saying, please take good care of the team.”
“Of course. Don’t worry.”
Clap.
Yoo-hyun conveyed his sincerity with a faint smile and a handshake.
“Manager, thank you for everything.”
He felt like he could leave with ease because of him.
The company work went better with just a little touch from Yoo-hyun.
The team members were well settled in their positions.
There were many other things to sort out, but he postponed them for later.
There was a place he had to worry about more than the company right now.
It was when Yoo-hyun had just left the company.
The With messenger window flashed.
-Interview bot: Two more interviewees added today, total of seven in progress. No time distinction for interviews.
At first, it distinguished the time and characteristics of each interviewee, but now there was no time distinction.
At this rate, he wouldn’t even know who was interviewing when.
What the hell was going on?
Yoo-hyun moved his steps to Double Y with curiosity.
Soon after, he arrived at Double Y and faced a strange sight.
First, the office layout had changed.
The long table that was in the conference room was moved to the window side, and it was full of people.
Na Do-ha was in the center of it.
He was explaining something on the big TV that was placed on the table.
Everyone listened with their ears perked up, and then they started a heated debate.
Buzzing.
But the atmosphere was very relaxed.
They laughed and chatted, and they also raised their voices and confronted each other.
Yoo-hyun couldn’t figure out what they were doing.
Yoon Bo Mi came up to Yoo-hyun, who was blinking his eyes.
“Director, hello.”
“Yes, Bo Mi. Hello. But what are they doing over there?”
“Oh, the manager is interviewing them.”
“Interviewing?”
It didn’t look like an interview scene at all.
Yoo-hyun tilted his head, and Yoon Bo Mi added an explanation.
“It’s a technical interview. The manager said he would only let the director interview the ones he passed.”
“Why separately?”
“The director said he had a headache.”
“What?”
Yoo-hyun was surprised, and Yoon Bo Mi covered her mouth with her hand and whispered.
“At first, the director interviewed them together. But there are a lot of excessive people.”
He wondered what she meant by that.
A loud voice came from the conference table.
“That’s not it! With is not used so simply. The bots of With are not just for information delivery, they can also be personal AI assistants.”
The man who stood up was very excited.
His fashion caught Yoo-hyun’s eye more than his curiosity.
The bulky three-button jacket and the pants with very wide legs looked like he borrowed his father’s clothes.
The dark checkered shirt inside the jacket and the red tie on top of it were the epitome of unbalance.
He seemed to care about something else, but he had a rustic vibe.
He kept emphasizing the excellence of With and competed with other interviewees.
Anyone who saw him would think he was a Double Y employee.
“…”
Yoo-hyun looked at him with amazement and lost his words.
Yoon Bo Mi spoke to him as if she noticed his gaze.
“I know it’s not nice to say this, but he’s very weird. His outfit is one thing, but he’s been excited since a while ago.”
“He does look like that.”
“But the manager seems to like him. He kept siding with him when he interviewed with the director.”
“I see.”
Yoo-hyun turned his head and looked at the side.
There was a man in a monk-like outfit sitting in a devout posture.
He only said what was necessary, unlike the man next to him who was spitting and raising his voice.
Yoon Bo Mi noticed Yoo-hyun’s gaze and said.
“He only shaved his head like a monk, but he’s actually not religious. And what he’s wearing is a hanbok for everyday life.”
“He’s very unique.”
“He’s a KAIST graduate, by the way. He must have dropped out because he didn’t like school.”
“Ah, I see…”
He thought it was possible, but he didn’t really feel it.
Yoon Bo Mi’s explanation continued.
“The one with the lion’s mane is…”
The more he listened, the more he was stunned.
There were so many unusual people that he wondered how they gathered them.
Yoo-hyun understood why Park Young-hoon said he had a headache.
Squeak.
As he opened the door to the director’s office, Park Young-hoon was still holding his forehead.
The sound of fierce debate seeped through the closed door.
He looked tired as he spoke to Yoo-hyun.
“You saw the atmosphere, right?”
“They brought a lot of interesting people, didn’t they?”
“Interesting?”
“They’re unique, aren’t they? At least, they’ll make you laugh.”
Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders as he sat on the sofa, and Park Young-hoon gave a hollow laugh.
“Have you ever interviewed a monk? Have you ever experienced the spiritual world of a monk?”
“He’s not a monk, you said.”
“That’s what he says, that’s what he says. And the lion’s mane is worse. Anyway, if you had interviewed them, you wouldn’t have said it was fun.”
To be honest, Yoo-hyun couldn’t imagine it either.
But there was one thing he believed in.
“That’s your perspective. Do Ha seems very passionate. Isn’t he?”
Yoo-hyun asked, and Park Young-hoon sighed.
“I know. That’s why I’m worried.”
“What are you worried about?”
“Look at this.”
Swipe.
Park Young-hoon showed him the documents on the desk and explained the backgrounds of the interviewees.
“First, the red tie guy has been mastering all kinds of programming since he was young, and he has more than five programs that he made and distributed…”
He could tell how much he cared by looking at the comments and crossed-out parts on the documents.
Yoo-hyun chuckled as he listened.
“What, you sighed, so I thought you gave up, but you were very diligent.”
“Of course. I can’t just hire anyone as my employee.”
“So you’re not bad either, right?”
“I’ll just hire whoever Do Ha likes. But I can’t hire them all, so I’m worried.”
It turned out that Park Young-hoon had already finished interviewing the people who came today.
But he still had a hard time deciding, so he tried to look at the technical interview results of Do Ha.
Yoo-hyun asked why.
“Why can’t you hire them all?”
“The personnel costs are too high. And you never know when more good people will come.”
“I say. If that’s the case, just hire them.”
“No, man. No matter how low their education and experience are, I have to treat them well. They’re the ones who make the best products.”
Park Young-hoon was a bit mistaken by Yoo-hyun’s words, but his mind was very admirable.
Yoo-hyun, who was worried about him as a novice director, was surprised again.
“You sound like a real director when you say that.”
“Don’t be silly. Don’t talk nonsense and pay attention.”
“Just hire whoever Do Ha likes. I’ll take responsibility.”
Yoo-hyun declared, and Park Young-hoon tilted his head in confusion.
It was different from Yoo-hyun’s usual style of watching.
“Huh? Why are you suddenly so proactive?”
“I want to finish the interview quickly and have a drink in the afternoon.”
“A drink? Now?”
“Yeah. I’m a bit thirsty.”
“Cool!”
Clack.
Park Young-hoon smiled and closed the documents.
Then he went out of the office and immediately cleared the traffic.
Yoo-hyun stuck out his tongue at him.
“He became so straightforward after becoming a director.”
Park Young-hoon, who had finished the interview, dragged Yoo-hyun to a nearby craft beer place.
It was a place with a cafe vibe, and the atmosphere was soft and nice.
Clang.
Yoo-hyun raised his glass and casually asked.
“Hyung, how do you think Double Y will do?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you think it will do well?”
He gulped down his beer and Park Young-hoon answered coolly.
“Do Ha made such an amazing thing. If it doesn’t work, it’s the director’s fault.”
“Do you think you’ll do well?”
Yoo-hyun pressed on, and Park Young-hoon shrugged.
“Me? What can’t I do? Even if I can’t, you and Do Ha are here.”
“What if I’m not here?”
“Well, I might try hard and fail. So what, I have a building. I can prepare again and revive it later.”
He didn’t seem to care much, and Yoo-hyun smiled and clicked his tongue.
“Right. You’re right.”
“But why do you ask?”
“Just. I wonder if Double Y is worth investing in.”
“Suddenly, what investment?”
“I think it will do well, so I want to invest more.”
“Your money is all tied up in this building. How?”
Park Young-hoon was Yoo-hyun’s asset manager, so he knew Yoo-hyun’s financial situation.
That’s why he looked more puzzled, but there were quite a few things he didn’t know.
Yoo-hyun revealed a little bit of his financial situation that he hadn’t told him.
“I have some money. More than you think.”
“Huh? How much? Why?”
“I have about 10 billion won.”
Yoo-hyun answered, and Park Young-hoon spat out the beer he was drinking.
“Pfft! What, what did you say?”
Yoo-hyun handed him a tissue and calmly said.
“I was thinking of investing about 10 billion won. You can run it however you want with that money.”
“What? Are you serious?”
“Why would I joke with you at this point?”
“You crazy! How much do you have?”
Park Young-hoon was so surprised that he swore.
It’s 10 billion won, but there aren’t many people in Korea who can use that much cash.
Yoo-hyun took a sip of his beer and answered calmly.
“I just have that much to spare.”
“Wow… Where did you get all that money? And why didn’t I, your asset manager, know about it?”
“I had a stake in Airbnb.”
“Airbnb? You mean the people Do Ha met in the US…”
“Right. They’re my friends who I helped start up.”
“…”
Park Young-hoon rolled his eyes and lost his words.
He couldn’t believe it even if he did some calculations.
