Real Man

As the person who led the contract, Director Ahn Se-hoon felt responsible for wrapping it up well.

While he was lost in thought, he received a message from President Han Seung-won.

-I left my phone in the car. I heard the details from another employee. I’ll be back soon, so wait a bit.

‘I have to solve this before the president arrives.’

Director Ahn Se-hoon hardened his resolve after checking the message.

He walked quickly towards the president’s office and whispered to Yoo-hyun, who was on his way.

“Yoo-hyun, I know why you stepped in, but we’re not a big company.”

“You mean I shouldn’t have done that?”

Yoo-hyun answered tactfully, and Director Ahn Se-hoon nodded.

To be honest, Yoo-hyun felt dissatisfied from his perspective.

He was annoyed to see the precious people being ignored by the insignificant ones.

But Yoo-hyun was not a narrow-minded person who couldn’t understand the situation around him.

He stepped back, having already grasped the situation.

“I understand. I just thought it would be better to talk in a quiet place, so I cut it off.”

“Good. Thank you for understanding.”

Director Ahn Se-hoon patted Yoo-hyun’s shoulder and bowed to the Ami Construction employees who followed him.

Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

His appearance showed the hardship of a salesperson in a small and medium-sized company.

The president’s office was very different from when Yoo-hyun first saw it.

The sofa was Yoo-hyun’s gift, and the desk and curtains were his mother’s gift.

The atmosphere was quite luxurious, and a small refrigerator was also placed.

Knock. Knock.

Yoo-hyun took out drinks and water from the refrigerator and put them on the table.

Then he sat in the corner sofa and swallowed his words.

Director Jang Man-kyu, who was watching Yoo-hyun, soon lost interest.

He pressed Director Ahn Se-hoon after drinking water.

“Director Ahn, you checked the contract when we signed the joint venture, right? If there is anything wrong with the quality inspection, we won’t give you the investment money.”

“Quality inspection?”

“Yes. There is no reason to make bricks with defects, even if you have to expand the factory.”

“You keep talking about quality, but there is nothing wrong with our bricks. You know that they passed the KS quality standard, right?”

“That’s Yu Jae Brick’s story. We haven’t checked it, have we?”

Director Jang Man-kyu, who was sitting cross-legged, rubbed his ears.

His attitude towards Yu Jae Brick was clearly revealed.

Naturally, Yoo-hyun saw the end of this conversation.

‘He will pressure them and then take it away.’

It was an obvious trick to Yoo-hyun, but not to the other party.

Director Ahn Se-hoon, who led the contract, looked serious.

“How do you do the quality inspection?”

“Why? Are you not confident?”

“Of course not. I am confident. But I don’t know the standard.”

“Well, our quality department will take care of it. They will check everything from one to ten thoroughly.”

“Does the quality department come directly?”

Ami Construction’s quality department was famous for being meticulous and persistent.

Director Ahn Se-hoon asked in surprise, and Director Jang Man-kyu smirked.

“Are you nervous? We already ordered the equipment for the new factory, what if there is a problem and you can’t get the investment money?”

“…”

As Director Jang Man-kyu said, Yu Jae Brick had already ordered the automated equipment according to the factory construction schedule.

Of course, Yu Jae Brick paid in advance.

What if they can’t get the investment money in this situation?

He would have to take over the equipment that was ordered, and also compensate for the loss of the equipment company.

Director Ahn Se-hoon closed his eyes tightly at the dizzying thought.

That’s when it happened.

Director Jang Man-kyu, who had been pressuring him, suddenly spat out a word.

“Well, I can also make you not take the quality inspection.”

“What? How, how do I do that?”

“Geez, you’re so clueless. Ah, I’m thirsty.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled at Director Jang Man-kyu’s blatant attitude.

He poured water into his empty cup, leaving behind Director Ahn Se-hoon, who couldn’t catch on.

Splash.

They were trying to take personal advantage under the pretext of the company’s profit.

What would they ask for?

Yoo-hyun guessed, recalling various cases he had experienced directly or indirectly in the past.

The answer was given by Deputy Yu Gwan-min next to him.

“By the way, you may not know this, but Director Jang’s younger brother is getting married.”

“Ah… Is that so?”

“Remember that.”

“Of course. We’ll definitely go.”

Director Ahn Se-hoon nodded as if he finally understood, and Director Jang Man-kyu put out his hand.

“You don’t have to come, you must be busy.”

“Of course, I will show my sincerity.”

“That would be troublesome. There are so many legal problems these days.”

“Don’t worry. I understand exactly what you mean.”

Yoo-hyun snorted at the more brazen request than he expected.

‘What a bunch of scumbags.’

He was fed up with the current situation of being dragged around by these low-level guys.

No matter how generously he looked at it, this was not right.

Just as Yoo-hyun was about to say something, the door opened with a bang.

Everyone turned their heads at the appearance of Yoo-hyun’s father, President Han Seung-won.

Director Jang Man-kyu uncrossed his legs and stood up.

“President, hello.”

“Director Jang, I heard you suddenly came for an inspection?”

The president narrowed his eyes, and Director Jang Man-kyu shrugged his shoulders.

“Not an inspection. I just told them that the quality inspection might come.”

“Really?”

“Yes, sir. Director Jang is right. We got help.”

Director Ahn Se-hoon nodded, and Director Jang Man-kyu laughed casually.

“Haha! Yu Jae Brick and us are not ordinary acquaintances, are we? We have to help when we can.”

“Thank you for your care.”

“You’re welcome. I’ll get up now. I think I’m done here.”

Director Jang Man-kyu winked at Deputy Yu Gwan-min and left the president’s office after greeting him.

President Han Seung-won sighed as he met Yoo-hyun’s eyes.

“Phew.”

Director Ahn Se-hoon, who led the contract, felt responsible for wrapping it up well.

While he was lost in thought, he received a message from President Han Seung-won.

-I left my phone in the car. I heard the details from another employee. I’ll be back soon, so wait a bit.

“Yoo-hyun, I know why you stepped in, but we’re not a big company.”

“You mean I shouldn’t have done that?”

Yoo-hyun answered tactfully, and Director Ahn nodded.

“Yes. I know we look unsatisfactory to you, but we have no choice. This contract is that important.”

To be honest, Yoo-hyun felt dissatisfied from his perspective.

He was annoyed to see the precious people being ignored by the insignificant ones.

But Yoo-hyun was not a narrow-minded person who couldn’t understand the situation around him.

He stepped back, having already grasped the situation.
