About a minute had passed?

Park Young-hoon, who had gulped down his drink, asked bluntly.

“Why did you work at a company when you have so much money?”

“That’s why I’m quitting.”

“What did you say?”

“I’m thinking of leaving for the US for a while.”

“Hey, what’s going on?”

Seeing the sincerity in Yoo-hyun’s words, Park Young-hoon straightened his posture and sat up.

He should have been stunned by the huge amount of money, but he pushed it aside as if it was not important.

Looking at him like this, Park Young-hoon was also a person with a strange side.

Yoo-hyun told him the honest story about Jeong Da-hye.

“Actually…”

The short content contained the whole process of Yoo-hyun’s change of heart.

After listening to the end, Park Young-hoon exclaimed.

“Wow, our Yoo-hyun has grown up a lot.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It seems like yesterday when you cried in the army because you had no money, and now you’ve become a huge rich man.”

“Did I do that?”

“Yes. You showed a lot of ugly sides while resenting your father.”

He remembered the red stickers that were attached to his house.

He had shaken them off now, but he still felt ashamed of his life when he thought about it.

The senior who had comforted him at his side at that time was Park Young-hoon.

Yoo-hyun suddenly asked him a question that came to his mind.

“Why did you take care of me so much back then? What did you like about me?”

“I guess I thought you would be my benefactor.”

“You’ve become more talkative since you became the CEO.”

Yoo-hyun was incredulous, and Park Young-hoon shrugged his shoulders.

“What does the past matter, when my beloved brother is trying to live a new life?”

“Thanks for your support.”

“Yoo-hyun, you needed to be more free anyway. You’ve been too tied up to the company lately.”

“I guess so.”

Yoo-hyun had lived comfortably, but he had focused quite a bit under the goal of surpassing Shin Kyung-soo.

Especially after moving to the Innovation Strategy Office, he paid more attention.

Park Young-hoon said to Yoo-hyun, who nodded his head.

“When I first quit the company, it was very awkward. It felt like I was naked. I actually didn’t wear a suit after that.”

“You looked comfortable.”

Park Young-hoon had come dragging his slippers as if he was going out for a drink.

His outfit was completely different from Yoo-hyun’s.

“Now I’m totally used to it. When I shook it off completely, I saw things I couldn’t see before.”

“What did you see?”

“Yeah. I think I lived without much leisure.”

“But you left work early. And you exercised regularly.”

Park Young-hoon didn’t have much overtime work because of the nature of his financial company.

He was stressed at work, but he had a relaxed style outside of work.

If he had to compare, his pattern was similar to Yoo-hyun’s.

Park Young-hoon shook his head.

“No, not that kind of leisure, but the leisure of thought.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Yoo-hyun, did you think about going to see Jang-woo’s match in the US?”

“That…”

As he fumbled for his thoughts, Park Young-hoon explained the reason.

“I couldn’t either. But I could have gone, you know? You and I had enough money for that.”

“I guess so.”

“See? But we couldn’t because we were tied up to the company. Our frame of mind was perfectly matched to the company.”

“You’re right.”

Yoo-hyun had no choice but to admit it.

He thought he had plenty of time, but he was actually obsessed with the company.

That was why he couldn’t see Jeong Da-hye properly.

Park Young-hoon lifted his glass and said.

“Let’s go this time. That kind of experience, you won’t have it again in your life.”

“What if Double Y is busy?”

“Doha will do well.”

Yoo-hyun laughed and clinked glasses.

Clang.

“Yeah. Let’s live differently now.”

After that, Yoo-hyun’s changed determination was conveyed.

He had a candid conversation with Park Young-hoon and briefly told his plan to Na Do-ha.

Na Do-ha’s eyes widened as soon as he heard that he was going to the US.

“Wow! Bro! Are you going to meet the Airbnb guys again?”

“Yeah. I’m going to see them too.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and answered.

He also planned to stop by San Francisco, though he didn’t know when.

He had something to talk about with them, not only about the shares he had sold, but also about their future moves.

Na Do-ha clenched his fist and expressed his will.

“Please say hello to them for me. I’ll come and visit them with something amazing.”

“Okay. They’ll like it.”

“That’s my goal. I want to change the world with what I’ve made, just like them.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled at the very Na Do-ha-like appearance.

“I’ll be gone for a long time, are you okay?”

“Of course. I’ll make a great result while you’re gone.”

“Okay, just don’t overdo it. If you’re having trouble, use your colleagues.”

“Of course. Thanks to you, I got to work with good colleagues. I’ll do that.”

Na Do-ha smiled brightly.

Park Young-hoon had picked out all the unusual people he liked.

Thanks to that, the genius who had always worked alone had found like-minded colleagues.

There weren’t many of them now, but they would soon increase.

What kind of results would they create when they gathered together, away from the eyes of others?

He was curious for a moment, but Yoo-hyun looked into Na Do-ha’s sparkling eyes.

He didn’t care about the results as much as he saw how much he enjoyed it.

He just hoped he would have fun.

Tap tap.

“That’s good enough.”

Yoo-hyun tapped his shoulder, and Na Do-ha smiled brightly.

Yoo-hyun also stopped by the gym on the third floor and said hello.

No one seemed to mind his sudden departure, as they were used to it.

The director also said with a nonchalant expression.

“Ulsan, Yeontae-ri, and now the US?”

“Yes. I’m thinking of going to Texas.”

“You go to all kinds of places.”

“I know, right?”

Yoo-hyun chuckled, and the director suddenly grimaced as if he remembered something.

“But what about this?”

“What?”

“I think Jang-woo will be sorry that he couldn’t say goodbye to you.”

“I was going to call him anyway.”

“He’ll want to come up from his hometown right away, won’t he? If you don’t see him this time, another year or two will pass by.”

It would have been a long time before he saw him again, but not anymore.

Yoo-hyun told him what he had promised with Park Young-hoon.

“I’m going to see him every time he has a match, so it’s okay.”

“How do you know where he’ll be?”

“I’ll go anywhere. That’s what I’m going to do now.”

Yoo-hyun conveyed his determination, and the director drew a line with a mischievous expression.

“I can’t pay for your plane tickets.”

“Don’t worry. I can go with the rent I got from the gym.”

“What? You’re lucky to be a landlord.”

The director was incredulous, and Yoo-hyun added more.

“Then please run the gym well.”

“What are you talking about? Do you think I’m a dancing bear?”

“Hey. How can you compare a bear to the best director in the world?”

“You’re getting more talkative. Tsk tsk.”

The director clicked his tongue at Yoo-hyun’s witty words.

He didn’t seem to be in a bad mood, as his mouth was full of smiles.

It was not a big burden to say goodbye to Double Y and the gym people.

As long as he wasn’t leaving forever, he would see them again someday.

But it was hard to tell his colleagues at the company.

It wasn’t just a temporary departure, but a plan to quit, so the impact would be huge.

Besides, it wasn’t a slack situation right now.

As if the news was changing every day, the successor battle was in full swing.

From the takeover battle to the mobile phone business, there were sharp attacks from the other side on the major issues.

To block them and seek a reversal, the Innovation Strategy Office moved very busy.

The subsidiaries under it also tightened their reins.

To disrupt the atmosphere in this situation?

No matter how important the last farewell was, he couldn’t do that.

It was a different matter to trust his colleagues to do well and to lose his strength.

So Yoo-hyun planned to leave quietly.

Of course, he prepared the last thing so that his absence would not be a problem at all.

He didn’t take long to finish the preparation, as he sped up.

He put a thick report on his desk and picked up his phone.

On the screen was the name of the person he had to meet.

It was Shin Kyung-wook, the vice president.

What was his mood right now?

He was the leader who led the war, and he had a lot to worry about.

Regardless of the outcome, he must have felt a lot of pressure, as many colleagues were devoted to him.

It was a situation where he couldn’t be comfortable.

Yoo-hyun imagined Shin Kyung-wook’s stern expression and opened the door to his office.

Creak.

But Shin Kyung-wook, who he met on the sofa, was smiling.

It wasn’t a pretense of being relaxed.

He looked genuinely happy, so Yoo-hyun asked.

“Did something good happen?”

“Yeah. Not bad. Just wait a minute.”

He got up from his seat and brought a large basket from his desk.

Thud.

Inside, there were colorful letters piled up.

There were also booklets and scrolls.

“Take a look at this. I got it today.”

“Okay.”

Yoo-hyun wondered what it was and opened the booklet he handed him.

It was a rolling paper filled with handwritten words, and there were also photos of Hansung Technic employees.

One of the words caught Yoo-hyun’s eye.

-Vice president, the organizational innovation made the company so much better to work for. Thank you for caring for us so carefully, even though you must be busy. We are on your side, no matter what the media says! ŗаNО₿ÈŜ

He smiled as he read the content.

“It seems like the employees like the change.”

“They reacted well. Especially the grievance handling team. They did a great job. The HM (Help Member) system was also good.”

“It’s thanks to you, vice president.”

“What did I do? Yu team leader did a lot of work.”

Yu Seok-won, the team leader in charge of management strategy, had promoted the organizational innovation of Shin Kyung-wook’s regime, in addition to the integrated organization.

Thanks to that, the wind of change that Yoo-hyun had raised at Hansung Display could spread quickly to all the subsidiaries under the Innovation Strategy Office.

He had worked hard, indeed.

But still, the biggest credit went to Shin Kyung-wook, who had looked after his employees at this crucial time.

Yoo-hyun pointed out that part with a good-natured tone.

“The employees seem to know who cared more, don’t they?”

“They don’t know the whole story. And maybe they were told to write like that by the people around them.”

“Doesn’t matter. It’s good that they appreciate you anyway.”

“That’s right. It’s a grateful thing. Thanks to that, I gained an important insight.”

Shin Kyung-wook nodded his head and revealed his inner thoughts.

It was a bit embarrassing, so Yoo-hyun waved his hand right away.

“What did I do? I really stayed behind this time.”

“You always say that. Well, I’m grateful anyway.”

Shin Kyung-wook held out his palm as if to say no more, and drank his tea.

“…”

Yoo-hyun also silently sipped his tea.

He felt Shin Kyung-wook’s consideration along with the warm heat.

That’s why he felt more awkward, but he couldn’t just say nice things forever.
