Chapter 213
A moment later.
Director Kim Hyun-min of the Preceding Product Team entered the office.
Yoo-hyun was standing next to his seat, and Senior Kim Ho-geol was in front of him.
It was the first time that the team leader of the Product Planning Team had come to the office himself.
There was a strong feeling that something was about to explode.
The team members all looked at them sneakily from their seats.
Director Kim Hyun-min looked around the office and said to Yoo-hyun in a fairly loud voice.
“Hey, you have a nice spot here.”
“Yes. Everyone is doing well.”
“Heh heh. They should. You are our core talent.”
“Why do you say that?”
“…”
The expressions of the people changed subtly at Director Kim Hyun-min’s words.
They expected him to apologize or make a negative remark, but he unexpectedly praised him.
And his expression was bright.
Director Kim Hyun-min didn’t stop there and boasted more.
“By the way, Vice President Shin Myung-ho wanted to see your face.”
“Really?”
“I think it’s because of the group research and development award you received. Call him later and thank him.”
“Yes, I will.”
“…”
It was the moment when Yoo-hyun naturally accepted his words.
The faces of the people were shocked.
The words that filled the conversation between the two were unbearable.
Especially, the expression of Senior Kim Ho-geol in front of him turned yellow.
Director Kim Hyun-min suddenly grabbed his hand.
And then he changed his attitude and spoke politely.
“Team leader, please take good care of Yoo-hyun.”
“Ha ha… Yes, of course.”
Director Kim Hyun-min emphasized to the startled Senior Kim Ho-geol.
“The most important thing we taught in our department is ‘to speak frankly’. That’s why Yoo-hyun might seem a bit rude.”
“Is… that so?”
“But please understand that. He is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.”
“…”
Senior Kim Ho-geol couldn’t grasp the sudden change of Director Kim Hyun-min’s attitude.
Regardless, Director Kim Hyun-min spoke loudly as if to let the people hear.
It was a kind of declaration that they shouldn’t mess with him.
“I trust Yoo-hyun unconditionally. I will take care of him no matter what he does.”
“…”
“Then I’ll go and see Director Go Jun-ho.”
“Yes? Oh, yes. Right. Okay.”
Senior Kim Ho-geol’s soul was sucked out by the successive attacks.
He couldn’t handle Director Kim Hyun-min, who had experienced all kinds of battles, from the ground to the air, with his low status and academic background.
Director Kim Hyun-min laughed heartily and said.
“Ha ha ha ha. I’m relieved that you’ll take care of him.”
“I will…”
Then he suddenly spread his arms and looked at Yoo-hyun.
“Hey, Yoo-hyun, good luck.”
“Thank you for coming here.”
Wham.
Yoo-hyun would have avoided him normally, but he responded this time.
It was because he felt his heart that cared for his distant son.
Director Kim Hyun-min patted Yoo-hyun’s back and said.
“Heh heh heh. I’ll come by often.”
“Yes. I’ll contact you.”
“Check every day. Ha ha ha.”
“You don’t have to do that.”
Many moments that he had spent with him flashed through Yoo-hyun’s mind.
He was a really good leader.
Director Kim Hyun-min moved and Senior Kim Ho-geol followed him.
It was to make him say good things to Director Go Jun-ho somehow.
Yoo-hyun watched the backs of the two and snorted.
“He’s such an amazing person.”
Director Kim Hyun-min had a good position.
He knew how to use the power relations well, and how to set the mood.
Thanks to him, the office atmosphere changed strangely.
It was when Yoo-hyun turned his head.
Whoosh.
The people all turned their heads and avoided Yoo-hyun.
It looked no different from the situation before, just by looking at this scene.
But it wasn’t.
They were not ignoring him, but conscious of him.
It was not a bad situation, so Yoo-hyun smiled inwardly.
Thanks to Director Kim Hyun-min, he seemed to be able to go back faster.
Swoosh.
Yoo-hyun turned his head again and saw Director Kim Hyun-min leaving.
The thought of being together, not alone, filled his heart.
“Thank you.”
There were people who felt a sense of crisis in the changed atmosphere.
They were the ones who played politics poorly in the company.
The two part leaders who didn’t get along well gathered and plotted.
Yoo-hyun looked at them and shook his head.
He wished they didn’t show their intentions so much, but their blatant awareness was very funny.
There was a limit to what they could do here.
They couldn’t force anything, so they only had to assign work.
What problem would come up?
Yoo-hyun had prepared enough, but he couldn’t help but look forward to it.
The more he studied hard, the more he waited for the exam.
A moment later.
Senior Lee Jin-mok, who received the order from the first part leader, approached Yoo-hyun.
He opened his mouth cautiously, as if he was bothered by the bitter words he spat out yesterday.
“Yoo-hyun, we need to clean up the material warehouse.”
“Yes, I’ll help you.”
“Okay…”
As soon as Yoo-hyun answered, he looked somewhat apologetic.
Trudging.
Yoo-hyun followed Senior Lee Jin-mok to the material warehouse in the hallway.
Senior Lee Jin-mok pressed the password of the material warehouse and said.
Beep beep beep beep.
“The number is 7642. Remember it.”
“Yes, I got it.”
Clang.
When he opened the door, there were square plastic parts boxes filled on the wall.
There were small parts attached to the PCB and various ICs.
Senior Lee Jin-mok pointed to a pile of plastic boxes full of one side of the wall and said.
“This is the part that our circuit team uses.”
“Do other teams use this warehouse too?”
“Yes. You can assume that all the circuit departments in charge use it.”
He nodded at Yoo-hyun’s question.
Yoo-hyun went further.
“Got it. I just need to check if there are any mixed parts, right?”
“Huh? Yeah. They get mixed up when you use them. Look at the cycle here…”
“Yes, I got it. I’ll sort it out.”
Yoo-hyun readily agreed as he listened to the explanation.
Senior Lee Jin-mok looked at him unexpectedly.
Then he spat out a word.
“Let me know if there’s anything you can’t do.”
“Yes. I’ll contact you.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly, and Senior Lee Jin-mok scratched the back of his head and left the warehouse.
He knew better than anyone that it was a lot of work.
Yoo-hyun looked around the warehouse alone.
He remembered the old memories as he saw the old scenery for a long time.
-How to clean up the material warehouse…
At that time, Senior Lee Jin-mok had a prickly side like now.
But he was also a kind of person who took care of him subtly.
He felt sorry for giving him work, but he taught him everything.
There was a lot to sort out in the warehouse, so the period was quite long.
Thanks to that, Yoo-hyun, who kept his distance from people, had a lot of conversations with him.
Not that they became close personally, though.
Yoo-hyun chuckled and opened a small plastic box.
Rattle.
Inside, there were white reels that were a little bigger than a finger.
There were hundreds of tiny parts wrapped around the reel.
The plastic box was marked as a resistor, but the reel was a capacitor.
Yoo-hyun opened another plastic box.
There were parts of different sizes and parts that didn’t match the values.
In a word, they were all mixed up.
He roughly knew it, but the situation was serious.
“How did they find the parts here?”
Yoo-hyun snickered and loosened his hands.
It was obvious why he got this job.
He was determined to do it properly.
That afternoon.
A man came up to Senior Lee Jin-mok sitting in his seat.
It was Senior Jin Moon-han of the Circuit 4 team next to him.
He was in charge of the material warehouse with Senior Lee Jin-mok.
He asked with a flush.
“Senior Lee, you’re really amazing, aren’t you?”
“Ah, Senior Jin, what are you talking about…”
“The material warehouse, the material warehouse. Heh heh heh.”
Senior Lee Jin-mok’s spine chilled for a moment.
He remembered that he had given Yoo-hyun the job.
He jumped up from his seat and bowed.
“I’m, I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry for? You did a great job.”
“Really?”
“Heh heh heh. A hundred praises are not enough. I’ll count on you from now on.”
“…”
The scary Senior Jin Moon-han left with a smile.
Senior Lee Jin-mok came to his senses and ran to the material warehouse.
He couldn’t understand what was going on.
He opened the door of the material warehouse and looked around, but there was no one there.
He looked around and blinked his eyes.
“What the hell…”
He couldn’t speak properly.
The cycle on the surface of the plastic box had changed completely.
The letters were much bigger and neater.
The arrangement was also accurately divided by parts.
Rattle.
Not only that, but the cycle on the surface of the reel inside the box also changed.
There was a new printed paper on the rice-sized letters.
In large letters, it matched the font on the box surface and looked nice.
The part name was marked in parentheses before the part number and size.
Unless he was a fool, he wouldn’t put it in another box.
It was a long time to just sort it out.
But he also came up with alternatives?
Senior Lee Jin-mok couldn’t believe it even as he looked.
Clang.
Then the door opened, and Yoo-hyun appeared in Senior Lee Jin-mok’s sight.
Yoo-hyun smiled and handed him a can of coffee.
“I’m glad I bought one more. Senior Lee, is the coffee okay?”
“Huh? Oh…”
Senior Lee Jin-mok took the can of coffee and glanced around.
“It must have taken a lot of time.”
“It’s not over yet. I think we need a sorting ledger.”
“…”
“And…”
Yoo-hyun pointed out the problems of the material warehouse one by one.
The more he did, the more confused Senior Lee Jin-mok’s face was.
Yoo-hyun asked casually.
“Is there a problem?”
“No, no. It’s fine.”
“It would be easier to separate the parts from other teams and take them out this way.”
“That’s right…”
“Yes. Then I’ll proceed like this.”
“…”
In the end, Senior Lee Jin-mok lost his words.
The next afternoon.
Yoo-hyun was sitting at the inspection stand in the corner of the team laboratory.
There were stacks of touch PCBs that the Preceding Product Team had developed before.
Yoo-hyun said to Senior Kim Sun-dong, who didn’t know what to do next to him.
“Senior Kim, can I just remove this resistor and replace it with something else?”
“Yeah. That’s right, but…”
“It’s okay. I’ll do it.”
“Hey, have you ever soldered?”
“Yes. I know how to do it.”
Yoo-hyun answered cheerfully, but Senior Kim Sun-dong’s complexion was still pale.
Then Senior Maeng Gi-yong, who was passing by behind him, said.
“Senior Kim, just leave him alone. He’ll do it himself. Senior Kim, leave that and come over here.”
“Yes… Okay.”
“Don’t worry.”
Senior Kim Sun-dong kept glancing at Yoo-hyun anxiously.
