Real Man-Chapter 499:

Yoo-hyun smiled and said that it was not something that could be easily understood by just telling him.

“If you’re curious, you can see for yourself. Let’s get up.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll clear the way for you.”

Deputy Gong Jinhwan quickly got up and made some space at the entrance of the lounge where people were passing by.

Even though it was an unnecessary action, his face was full of a sense of mission.

He was a funny guy who had an interesting side to him, as Yoo-hyun had felt at the drinking party.

Soon, the time came for Deputy Gong Jinhwan to confirm the answer to his curiosity.

As soon as the lunch break was over, an emergency assembly announcement flowed through the speakers attached to the entire factory.

-All factory operations will be stopped for one hour from 2 p.m. All personnel, please gather at the auditorium on the first floor of Factory A.

The people who were confused by the unprecedented event gathered at the auditorium one by one.

They took the coffee and cookies that were handed out at the entrance and sat down in order from the front row, following the guidance of the production management team members.

The auditorium was already full five minutes before the start time, with all the production workers except for the shift workers and vacationers.

This included subcontractor employees, contract workers such as secretaries, and union members.

Yoo-hyun, who was sitting in the center of the front row, nodded his head, and Deputy Yoon Junwoo, who was standing in the corner of the stage, pressed the live video transmission button on the camcorder he was holding.

The screen in front of the stage showed the people who filled the auditorium tightly.

Buzz buzz.

The somewhat noisy atmosphere subsided as the figure of Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan, who came up on the stage, was captured on the screen.

As Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan stood in the middle of the stage, the pinpoint lighting turned on and the screen switched to presentation mode.

-Hansung Precision Corporate Presentation

It was normal to do a corporate presentation in front of the group executives, but this time it was different.

The main audience was the production workers who had never experienced a corporate presentation before.

Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan, who made eye contact with Yoo-hyun, held the presenter with a resigned expression.

His presentation began as the page turned.

“First of all, Hansung Precision is…”

He had a clear voice and a neat eye contact, as befitting a person who had experienced countless presentations.

He quickly touched on the current status of the company, and then mentioned the current situation that the company was facing with specific numbers.

“Hansung Precision’s sales in the first quarter decreased by 12 percent compared to last year, net profit decreased by 22 percent, and it has been decreasing for four consecutive quarters…”

This naturally led to the reason why the company could only raise the salary by 3.8 percent.

The employees, who were grateful that they received a 150 percent bonus, realized that it was a very difficult situation.

“It must be hard. Is the company going to go bankrupt?”

“No way. They can fix the production line and set the direction, then they can make a profit.”

“I like that they promise to give it back when they perform well. And I like that they do this kind of presentation every time.”

“I can see that he’s sincere, since he even said that he would step down if he couldn’t keep his promise.”

“But why is he acting like that all of a sudden? He’s usually so stiff.”

Voices came from here and there, but Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan’s presentation was uninterrupted.

Thirty minutes passed, and the presentation was heading towards the end.

Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth with a complicated expression.

“The reason why Hansung Precision is in a difficult situation and the union pushed it to the brink of a strike is largely due to the fault of the management, especially me, the person in charge.”

Then, his trembling voice was heard through the microphone.

“Therefore, I want to take responsibility and donate 50 percent of my salary last year to the factory. I will also use 50 percent of my salary in the future for the development of the factory.”

Buzz buzz.

The audience was shocked by the radical statement.

Among the people who couldn’t close their mouths, there was a person who was shaking his legs.

He, who was sitting in the front row, got up from his seat as soon as he made eye contact with Yoo-hyun.

Yoo-hyun gestured with his chin, and he hurriedly went up to the stage without even fixing his clothes.

Deputy Yoon Junwoo, who was holding the camera, followed him, and the man’s appearance was broadcast live on the entire screen.

The union team members who saw the screen were startled.

“Huh? Isn’t that the chairman?”

“It looks like the chairman went up there. Yeah, look at the screen.”

“Wow. What’s going on? Are they fighting?”

It was an unprecedented situation where the union chairman appeared at the management presentation.

The impact spread quickly throughout the audience.

The surprise was only for a moment, and a more shocking voice came out of the mouth of Jang Seok-joon, the union chairman, who stood next to Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan.

“It’s not only the management’s fault that the company is in crisis. It’s also the fault of the union side, especially me, the person in charge, who encouraged the strike even though there was a good solution.”

“…”

The people who opened their mouths in disbelief heard a word from Jang Seok-joon, the union chairman.

“I will also set an example and give up half of my salary last year and this year for the welfare of the employees.”

“Chairman.”

Then, a man who stood up from the audience shouted.

He, who had admired Jang Seok-joon, the union chairman, without knowing that Yoo-hyun was behind him, teared up.

“I will also join the chairman’s sacrifice.”

“I feel the same way.”

The voices of the union executives who were moved by emotion spread.

He was a good person in front of others.

Yoo-hyun chuckled behind the people who didn’t know the truth.

As soon as he saw his smile, Jang Seok-joon, the union chairman, who misunderstood it as a signal, stretched out his arms to Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan.

Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan smiled awkwardly and hugged Jang Seok-joon, the union chairman.

The audience applauded with a standing ovation in response to the tearful scene of harmony between the management and the union.

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap.

The applause lasted quite long.

The touching corporate presentation scene was featured on the front page of the Hanseil Daily the next day.

It didn’t end with a newspaper article.

Yoo-hyun sent additional information to reporter Nam Min-sik through Deputy Gong Jinhwan, who organized the content.

The news, which included the additional salary cut of the factory manager, decorated the internet news column.

The article, which had a provocative title from the beginning, also contained the video that Deputy Yoon Junwoo filmed.

The video, which came out at the end of the corporate presentation, was enough to make people ecstatic.

The Hanseil Daily unusually posted the article on the ranking news, and the real-time search term number one was ‘Hansung Precision’.

The number of comments was also huge.

-That’s the attitude of a manager. The executive director puts 50 percent of his salary for the company.

-Don’t they usually cut the employees’ salaries? Here, the executive director and the union chairman are stepping up.

-The employees are totally moved. Look at their expressions.

-My mom was there, and she wrote a letter to the president to thank him. freēwēbnovel.com

-But are the other executives also voluntarily cutting their salaries?

-Of course they must have agreed. Who would make such a decision on their own?

There was such a crazy person here.

That evening, in the hotel, Yoo-hyun chuckled as he looked at the comments on his laptop.

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

“The reaction is quite hot.”

The media was making such a fuss that the group strategy office had to step in.

Wouldn’t the management support team be moving by now?

It was when Yoo-hyun was guessing the situation behind him.

Ring ring.

His phone rang, and the name he had been waiting for appeared on the screen.

He must have been very urgent to call him personally at this late hour.

Yoo-hyun answered the phone, and before he could even greet him, he heard the excited voice of Director Song Hyun-seung.

-Director Han, what kind of magic did you use?

“Magic?”

-The union chairman and all the union executives are voluntarily cutting their salaries, and it’s a mess. If this is not magic, what is it?

“I didn’t do anything. It was the management who did well.”

-You made them do well without spending much budget, right? Haha. That’s even more like magic.

Yoo-hyun paid attention to the part where he mentioned the budget.

‘Director Choi Sang-hyun must have been here.’

The head of the management support team and the suspicious person would not have easily believed Yoo-hyun’s surprise performance.

He must have investigated through Director Song Hyun-seung, and if there was no problem, he would have acted right away.

Yoo-hyun beat around the bush to confirm his guess.

“It seems that the management’s sincerity worked. It would be nice if Hansung Precision’s headquarters also joined in.”

-That’s what I’m doing. I’ve already spread the guidelines. I’m going to cut the salaries of the executives who are responsible for the strike, and send out a follow-up article.

“Are you doing it, sir?”

-Of course not. Why should I do such a dirty work? This is something that the low-ranking management support team does.

He seemed to want to show off his power for once, after being ignored all the time, but Yoo-hyun had no interest in that.

He was satisfied enough with the confirmation that the management support team was involved.

Yoo-hyun expressed his satisfaction with a calm smile and replied.

“I see. It would be helpful for me to clean up the mess if the other departments support me.”

-Clean up the mess? Aren’t you coming up?

“I’m going to stay here a little longer and see how things change. I feel sorry to end it like this.”

Director Song Hyun-seung, who was surprised and asked, heard Yoo-hyun’s plan.

His voice rose by a tone.

-You have more to show here, right?

“Of course. I’ve started it, so I want to make a solid result.”

-Haha. You’re reliable. Go ahead. Use the money as much as you want.

“Yes. I’ll repay you with a sure result for your support.”

After laughing with a laugh, Yoo-hyun left a confident word and hung up the phone.

But he didn’t intend to finish it here.

Executive Director Choo Jung-hwan.

Union Chairman Jang Seok-joon.

The end of the two men was not here.

“A little later.”

Before Yoo-hyun could express his happy feelings, his phone rang again.

-Director, we got a response from Narutal Power. Maria Carlos might visit us. Should we proceed with the next task?

It was a message from Deputy Shin Nak-kyun, who was working hard under the water.

Yoo-hyun smiled and sent a reply.

-Send the exhibition plan that I uploaded to the shared folder. Make sure to emphasize that we prepared it for Maria Carlos’s visit.

-Yes. I got it.

After confirming the reply, Yoo-hyun lay down on the bed.

The results of the strike at the Wonju factory and the Maria Carlos case passed by one by one on the ceiling.

Who could have predicted that the end of them would be connected to Chairman Shin Hyun-ho and the Royal Family?

“Never.”

It was not a casual word.

Neither Director Song Hyun-seung, who received the report, nor Deputy Shin Nak-kyun, who was in charge of the work, had any clue about it.

The two team leaders who couldn’t get their minds together, or Vice President Yoon Joo-tak, who hadn’t grasped the situation yet, were the same.

Shin Kyung-soo, who was not interested in him, would be able to see the scenery that Yoo-hyun saw.

Yoo-hyun smiled confidently as he envisioned the future ahead.

On the other hand, contrary to Yoo-hyun’s thoughts, there was a man who was moving behind him.

The man reported the situation he had figured out so far to Shin Kyung-soo, who was in the US.

“Director Han is in Wonju right now…”

-You’ve caught his weakness, but you’re making the work quite troublesome.

Shin Kyung-soo replied sharply, but the man quietly repeated his thoughts.

“It may seem clumsy, but it may be a good way to look at it from the perspective of growing the work. If it goes well, he might catch the chairman’s eye.”

-Hmm, the chairman, huh. Did he think that far?

“He also expanded the Spain case and connected it to Maria Carlos’s visit. It’s a plausible story.”

It was a rather bold statement, but the man had no hesitation in expressing his opinion.

Shin Kyung-soo did not challenge the man’s words at all, but rather showed his trust.

-You know what I don’t know after a little investigation, but Vice President Yoon Joo-tak can’t even sense it.

“He’s doing his work quietly.”

-No. It’s because the group strategy office is incompetent.

“…”

The man agreed with silence, and Shin Kyung-soo sneered.

-They should all be thrown away. In that sense, investigate Director Han more. I might be able to use him sooner than expected.

“Yes. I understand.”

The eyes of the man who received Shin Kyung-soo’s trust, Director Lee Joon-il, sparkled.
