Chapter 708
Andrea Gurski stepped forward.
Yoo-hyun, who heard his intention, blocked the two people he was confronting.
“Wait a minute.”
Yoo-hyun pointed at Andrea Gurski without caring about the many people’s eyes.
“This gentleman will officially conduct an environmental safety inspection for us.”
“Who the hell is he?”
“His name is Andrea Gurski.”
Yoo-hyun answered, and Andrea Gurski took off his hat.
Swish.
Director Seo Jong-sik, who saw his face, could not hide his excitement.
“He’s crazy and stupid. Where did you get this foreign worker to mess with us? Huh?”
Andrea Gurski blinked his eyes after being hit by his words.
“Foreign worker?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Yoo-hyun translated for him again.
It was a situation that could be easily doubted by his appearance.
Even if he was a world-renowned architect, his face was not widely known to the public.
Director Seo Jong-sik completely ignored Andrea Gurski and warned his father.
“President Han, this is war from today. Let’s see how you do. I’ll make sure you can’t make bricks again.”
“Don’t even think about using ours.”
“Hah! You’re really clueless until the end. Let’s go.”
“Yes, sir.”
Director Seo Jong-sik turned around sharply, and the employees who came with him followed him.
It was after the people from Ami Construction had all left.
His father put his hand on his forehead.
“Ah! Damn. This bastard’s temper.”
Director Ahn Se-hoon, who was next to him, handed him a cigarette.
“Smoke it.”
“No. I quit.”
“You want to smoke, don’t you?”
His father looked conflicted, but he didn’t smoke.
He looked more anxious because he was forcing himself to endure.
“Those bastards, they won’t come out with the law, will they?”
“No way. They violated the subcontracting law more than us. We have all the evidence.”
“But they’ll cut off the trade, won’t they? We had a lot of supplies this time.”
“Your wife said she would support us.”
“Yeah. There’s no woman like my wife.”
The conversation flowed without any context.
Yoo-hyun chuckled.
“Dad, don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried.”
“It’s not that, Andrea will help us.”
Yoo-hyun pointed at Andrea Gurski, and his father waved his hand.
“Help us? What can he help us with? It’s okay.”
“Seungwon Han, I will repay you for the meal I had.”
“Dad, Andrea said he will pay you back for the meal.”
Yoo-hyun translated Andrea Gurski’s words to his father.
But his father rather took care of Andrea Gurski.
“Don’t talk nonsense about paying back, just take the leftover sweet and sour pork. You’ll be hungry if you go far.”
“Andrea, that’s what he said.”
Yoo-hyun looked at him, and Andrea Gurski scratched his head.
“This is something.”
He was in a dilemma because no matter what he said, they wouldn’t believe him.
A few days later, in the president’s office of Ami Construction.
President Hwang Un-ki, who was listening to Director Seo Jong-sik’s report, asked.
“You blocked the additional loan for Yujae Brick, and cut off their funding source?”
“Yes. I blocked the extension of the existing loan through the bank manager, and I’m going to cut off the trade by colluding with other construction companies.”
“You’re going to tie their hands and feet completely. President Han won’t be able to stand it.”
“I’ll show him the bitter price of his petty pride.”
“Right. Let’s take everything from him after we beat him up this time.”
President Hwang Un-ki lifted one corner of his mouth.
Bang!
The door opened and the secretary manager came in, and Director Seo Jong-sik frowned.
“Manager Choi, don’t you see that I’m talking to the president right now?”
“I’m sorry. It’s too urgent.”
“What is it?”
President Hwang Un-ki nodded, and the secretary manager quickly approached and said.
“A German environmental assessment agency has announced that they will evaluate our community center building.”
“What? Why are the Germans suddenly? Who requested it?”
“The requester is this person.”
Swish.
The secretary manager handed out a color-printed photo on A4 paper, and Director Seo Jong-sik narrowed his eyes.
“This looks like the foreign worker I saw at Yujae Brick…”
“Who is he?”
The secretary manager answered President Hwang Un-ki’s question.
“He’s Andrea Gurski, the designer of the eco-friendly village project.”
“Gasp!”
Director Seo Jong-sik’s mouth opened wide.
Before Ami Construction could panic, the matter progressed quickly.
Since the Gyeonggi Province government officially supported Andrea Gurski, there was no obstacle in the procedure.
The results appeared one by one through the news.
“Tsk tsk. Ami Construction guys were so busy.”
Yoo-hyun clicked his tongue as he looked at the newspaper.
The place was Kim Hyun-soo’s car center outdoor lounge, where friends gathered on a large platform.
Kim Hyun-soo, who was looking at the same article next to Yoo-hyun, asked.
“Then, are you suing your father’s company too?”
“I don’t know. Wonseok would know better.”
Park Wonseok, who received Yoo-hyun’s gaze, immediately raised his hand.
“I don’t have any mind to do that right now.”
“Why?”
“Andrea’s interview came out again. Look at this.”
Park Won-seok turned his phone screen to Yoo-hyun.
It was a news that just came out, but it was not much different from the last time.
The master of architecture praised the domestic company publicly again.
The reaction of the article was hot, and ‘Yu-jae bricks’ rose to the real-time search terms.
Yoo-hyun chuckled.
“It seems like it’s more of a fuss than last time.”
“I think it’s because of the news of Ami Construction. When we go to the office, the phone will be pouring in. I bet Mr. Ahn’s phone is already in trouble.”
As Park Won-seok explained the expected situation, Park Won-young, who was holding a camera, chimed in.
“Even now, inquiries are constantly coming up on the company’s website. YouTube channel is also flooded with comments.”
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
Kang Jun-ki, who was diligently grilling meat in front of a large fire pit, exclaimed.
He had come down from Seoul and knew the rough situation.
Then, Ha Jun-seok, who raised his head sharply, handed over a file with a confident remark.
“The more amazing news is this.”
Swish.
There was a news that he had carefully scrapped.
That guy, is he that happy?
Yoo-hyun, who had heard it twice already, snickered.
“Jun-seok, just one verse.”
“Yoo-hyun, you thanked me, so it’s Won-seok’s turn now. Won-seok, thank you.”
As Ha Jun-seok greeted him bluntly, Park Won-seok pushed his hand away.
“What did I do? You took the initiative and it went well.”
“No. If you hadn’t called me, our company wouldn’t have been on the list now.”
“No, you say that. Rather, we got help.”
Park Won-seok had made an investment inquiry to other construction companies in case of a conflict with Ami Construction.
They all had lukewarm responses, but only Ha Jun-seok responded actively.
Thanks to that, Baekdo Construction absorbed some of the supplies from Ami Construction, and Yu-jae bricks were able to breathe.
Yu-jae bricks should be grateful, but Ha Jun-seok’s position was different.
“We just easily got the supplies we needed, what. But it’s because Andrea wanted your bricks that we got lucky.”
“Still.”
“Hey, Won-seok, it’s thanks to you. It’s also thanks to Yoo-hyun.”
Between the two people who were giving and taking, Yoo-hyun summed up the situation.
“Just think it was the right time. We both won, so it’s good, right?”
“Haha! Yeah. Thank you. Thanks to having good friends, I’m getting promoted.”
Kang Jun-ki, who saw Ha Jun-seok laughing heartily, widened his eyes.
“Huh? You’re getting promoted? It’s not the promotion season.”
“The president told me personally. Otherwise, why would I buy meat for nothing?”
“Hey! Then you should buy beef, why did you buy pork neck?”
“That’s for later when the bonus comes out. I’ll buy liquor with it.”
“You’re getting a bonus too?”
As Kang Jun-ki was surprised again, Park Won-young, who was eating meat next to him, smiled brightly.
“My brother and I are getting it too.”
“Already? You’ve only been working for a few days.”
“Our president is very generous.”
“Hey, I know his style well, what. Aren’t you too flattering him because Yoo-hyun is in front?”
“Hmm.”
As Yoo-hyun coughed behind him, Park Won-seok retorted.
“No, Jun-ki. Do you know what the president said when Mr. Hwang from Ami Construction came the other day?”
“Huh? Mr. Hwang came?”
This time, Ha Jun-seok perked up his ears.
“He came? He even knelt in front of our president.”
“Really? He’s famous for his pride.”
“He’s doomed, what can he do. Anyway, the president said this. Don’t do this to me, and get the compensation you deserve.”
As Park Won-seok imitated his father’s solemn voice, Park Won-young joined in with an immersed expression.
“That’s right. He was very calm and not excited at all. The president is really a great person.”
A great person?
Suddenly, in Yoo-hyun’s mind, the image of his father who was drunk and making a fuss at home came to mind.
-Wow! I never thought this day would come in my life. I was so angry when I thought of what Mr. Hwang’s son did to me, but now I feel so relieved. Hahaha!
His father laughed loudly and was scolded by his mother for a long time after being hit on the back several times.
It was a sad reality that he couldn’t say.
As Yoo-hyun closed his mouth, his friends chatted while eating meat.
The glasses went back and forth and the pleasant conversation continued.
As Yoo-hyun was drinking happily, Park Won-seok approached him.
Chirp.
He filled Yoo-hyun’s glass with alcohol and said with a new feeling.
“It’s amazing.”
“What is?”
“Just. We’re all gathered here and having fun. I couldn’t even imagine it before.”
“That’s right. It’s so nice.”
They met again in a good way with their precious friends from childhood and had a happy time.
This moment was as meaningful to Yoo-hyun as fixing the company.
He looked at his friends with a gentle smile and Park Won-seok said bluntly.
“Yoo-hyun, thank you.”
“You’re saying that again.”
“Just. I feel like saying it again because I’m a bit drunk.”
“You’ve paid off the surgery fee, what are you talking about.”
Park Won-seok had paid off the hospital fee that Yoo-hyun had lent him with the security deposit of his Seoul house.
He had no debt left, but Park Won-seok’s heart seemed to be something else.
His eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Yoo-hyun.
“Not money, I know you’ve been caring for me behind the scenes. Thanks to you, Won-young also got a good position.”
“What are you talking about. It’s thanks to Won-young and you that the company is doing well. My father is so grateful.”
“I never thought this moment would come in my life…”
As Park Won-seok uttered a choked voice, Yoo-hyun cut him off.
“This kid. You’re drunk. Stop it and drink.”
“Yeah. Let’s have a drink.”
“Not just the two of us.”
“Huh?”
As Park Won-seok blinked his eyes behind him, Yoo-hyun said loudly.
“Guys, Won-seok wants to toast.”
“Oh, then we have to accept it. Let’s celebrate getting the bonus.”
“Yeah. Won-seok, say something cool.”
“What, are you nervous?”
Kang Jun-ki and Kim Hyun-soo urged him, and Ha Jun-seok playfully poked his side.
Park Won-seok lowered his head and looked at his friends with his eyes wide open and opened his mouth.
His voice trembled unlike his large body.
“Yoo-hyun, Hyun-soo, Jun-ki, Jun-seok, and my sister Won-young… I hope we can live happily like this forever. Thank you so much for being by my side.”
With his warm words, his eyes moistened.
His friend’s tears, which he shed because he was so happy, fell into Yoo-hyun’s heart.
