Real Man-Chapter 757

Besides Jang Man-bok, there was another person who impressed him.

It was Lee Ji-hyun, who used the Reverb ID ‘Flora’.

She was a famous faceless star on Instagram, attracting popularity with her witty memes (images to prevent cropping) and funny daily life.

She didn’t post much on Reverb, but every time she did, her SNS shares and comments easily surpassed the top rankers, showing her absolute influence online.

She was fidgeting with her big round glasses, looking nervous.

She had long straight hair, a slender face, and elongated eyes behind her glasses. She seemed like someone who would be popular offline too, but she was so tense that she couldn’t look the interviewers in the eye.

Yoo-hyun asked her.

“Do you want some water?”

“Ah, no. I’m fine.”

“You don’t have to be so nervous.”

“Yes. Well, actually, I’m not good at speaking in front of people…”

He could tell from her walk and gaze when she came in that she had trouble with social relationships.

She looked like she had social anxiety disorder.

She was very different from her online persona, but Yoo-hyun didn’t ask her why.

Instead, he made another suggestion.

“Then, how about we chat on With Messenger?”

“Huh? You don’t have to…”

“I just made a group chat room.”

Ding.

Yun Bo-mi sent a clever group message, and Lee Ji-hyun had no choice but to grab her phone.

Tudududuk.

She wasn’t just typing with her fingers.

She moved her fingers around the screen as if she was drawing something.

She fixed her shaky eyes and focused, and soon sent an image she made.

-My state is melon. (picture)

A picture of a fruit melon with a sad expression drawn on it popped up.

Yun Bo-mi laughed and held her stomach.

“Puhahaha! Totally my taste.”

“Kkkk! Wow, how do you make this so fast?”

I also enjoyed it and shrugged my shoulders.

Are they weak to dad jokes?

While Yoo-hyun was puzzled, Lee Ji-hyun sent another message.

-Pull yourselves together, cherries. (picture)

A stern emoticon was added to the cherry, and the two people burst into laughter again.

This time, even Yoo-hyun chuckled.

Lee Ji-hyun seemed to relax a bit as the people reacted well.

She kept sending funny images and words without being asked.

They were full of her unique wit and playful ideas.

Yoo-hyun was amazed as he watched.

‘A few words convey the emotion well.’

She could catch and send what people could empathize with in the current situation, so people had to like it.

She must have been popular online because of this sense.

Yoo-hyun wondered.

Does the review have to be formal?

If people’s opinions are added under the short words, it can increase the credibility itself.

The comments themselves are the reviews.

Yoo-hyun saw another future of Reverb in it.

SNS linked with With Messenger.

Maybe Reverb will compete with Facebook or Twitter in the near future.

This was not something that could be done by thinking.

To avoid becoming like Google’s failed SNS, he needed a person who could catch the needs of the public instantly.

Like Lee Ji-hyun in front of him.

After the interview, Yoo-hyun was left alone in the interview room.

The sunset was setting outside the window.

Yoo-hyun looked at the beautiful sky through the window and recalled the interview he had today.

He met many people and found the ones he wanted.

Thump thump.

They were all people he wanted to work with so much that his heart beat.

As he was thinking of their faces, the phone rang.

Ding. Ding.

Yoo-hyun checked the caller and pressed the call button happily.

“Da-hye, I was just about to call you.”

-You always say that.

“No, really. I just finished the interview and couldn’t contact you.”

-I got the preliminary results from Bo-mi earlier, you know?

“Hmm! I needed some time to sort things out.”

He had been with her every day for the past six months, so Yoo-hyun became comfortable talking to Jeong Da-hye.

-Do you feel uncomfortable with me? You keep using honorifics to me, and I feel so distant. I’m sad.

It was because of what Jeong Da-hye had blurted out when she was drunk.

Jeong Da-hye, who had no idea what memory Yoo-hyun was recalling, asked with a giggle.

-How was it? Your first official interview?

“It was good. They were better than I expected.”

-As you expected?

“No, more than that. They had everything we lacked.”

-Really? I’m so curious.

“I’m more curious about what you brought from Europe.”

Yoo-hyun asked abruptly, and Jeong Da-hye casually answered.

-Well, I’m still in the exploration stage for fashion reviews, so what.

“But you’ve made some progress with the posts you put on the other reviews section, right?

-Yeah, I’m getting a lot of help.

When they opened the Reverb site in the early days, Yoo-hyun and Jeong Da-hye decided to choose one category and use it as a basis to gradually expand to other areas.

The first category they selected after analyzing the search volume, accessibility, and interest was ‘IT devices’.

But there was an unexpected twist.

-Channel 100th anniversary new floral handbag review.

The review that Jeong Da-hye posted as a trial went viral on various communities.

Her post still has the most views and likes on the Reverb site.

Luxury fashion review.

It was a difficult field to secure reviewers, but it had excellent rarity.

Seeing a new possibility, Jeong Da-hye went back to Europe to expand the ‘fashion’ review, and she was seeing some results.

Yoo-hyun asked.

“Did you get help from Perez?”

-Yes. Thanks to him, I’m meeting all the people in the fashion industry. You have good connections, Yoo-hyun.

“It’s not just my network. We met them together, remember?”

Perez Bago, the CEO of the famous fashion magazine ‘Bago’, had made a lot of connections at the Channel VVIP invitation event.

The people he had met awkwardly back then were surprisingly helpful in unexpected places.

-Anyway. Oh, Jae-hee asked me to say hello to you.

“What? Brother? Did you just call me brother?”

-No, Jae-hee said that.

“Come on, don’t do that. Call me brother, from today on.”

Yoo-hyun said, and Jeong Da-hye countered.

-What are you talking about? Then I’ll speak casually too.

“How about speaking casually and calling me brother?”

-Ugh, I don’t know. Stop it, please.

“What a pity. But tell Jae-hee to stop teasing him. He followed me on a long vacation, pretending to help me, but he’s just going around fashion shows.”

Yoo-hyun’s bitter words didn’t make Jeong Da-hye nod.

-But he’s actually helpful.

“Isn’t he bothering you?”

-No. He points out the key points every time I meet the designers, so it’s much easier. He also finds items that can be applied to reviews in the editing shops. And…

Jeong Da-hye seemed to have learned how to use Han Jae-hee.

She had managed to persuade her brother, who rarely moved, and made good use of him.

She talked excitedly for a while, and then her voice lowered a tone.

-Now that I’ve hired the staff, the work will start in earnest.

“I have to clean up the office first.”

-Oh, you just moved in, right?

“Yeah. The rest of the desks and drawers will be coming soon. I have to do some electrical work too.”

-I wish I could help you if I were in Korea.

“Don’t worry. I have an office cleaning expert.”

-Who?

It was when Jeong Da-hye asked.

Bang.

The door opened and a hearty voice came in.

“Hey, rookie CEO, are you doing okay?”

Swoosh.

Yoo-hyun raised his hand to greet him and said into the phone.

“The tiger came as soon as I mentioned him.”

-The expert you’re talking about is Young-hoon, right?

“That’s right. He’s seen a lot of offices as the CEO of two companies.”

-Haha! I see. Have a good time. And don’t forget to eat dinner.

“Got it. I’ll call you later.”

-Okay, bye, brother.

Click.

Brother?

Yoo-hyun’s mouth curled up slightly.

Park Young-hoon, who was watching, chuckled.

“What’s wrong? Did you lose your mind?”

“No, no. Sit down.”

“Before I sit down, let me take care of this first.”

Park Young-hoon put down the box he brought.

“What’s this?”

“What do you mean? I bought it because I knew I wouldn’t get a cup of coffee in this empty office.”

“Coffee machine?”

“Yeah. I bought a capsule type that fits in a small space. Look. I’ll make it for you quickly.”

Park Young-hoon tore the box and plugged in the coffee machine.

He also brought water and paper cups, knowing that there was no water purifier.

He filled the water, put in a capsule, and pressed the button. The machine started working.

Zing.

Yoo-hyun snickered as he watched.

“It’s an honor to be treated by the star CEO.”

“You should be grateful if you know.”

“What’s with that? You know I’m the one who got my face on the front page of the newspaper.”

“Who arranged that interview for you?”

“Never mind, just take it.”

Swoosh.

Park Young-hoon waved his hand and handed Yoo-hyun a coffee.

Yoo-hyun sat down on the office chair and faced Park Young-hoon.

He took a sip of coffee and asked.

“Did you go to the Hansung Electronics board meeting?”

“I just filled the seat, you know. They’re all doing well, so I had nothing to say.”

“They’re showing you only the good things because you’re the major shareholder.”

“What does it matter? The stock price is soaring, the profit is good, and they pay dividends well. The money I’ve piled up is already over 30 billion.”

He spoke casually, but Park Young-hoon must have grasped the cash flow of Hansung Electronics.

The internal situation seemed to be fine as it appeared.

“That’s good. Did you meet the chairman?”

“That’s what I was going to say. The new chairman wanted to see you.”

“Me?”

“He said, what are you going to do if the vice chairman keeps missing the board meetings?”

“He’s something. He said he just put my name as a registered director…”

Rattle.

Yoo-hyun shook his head and Park Young-hoon snickered.

“The chairman seems to miss you a bit. Say hello to him.”

“How many times have I seen him?”

“Maybe that’s not enough, you know. He cares a lot about you.”

Chairman Shin Kyung-wook took care of Yoo-hyun more because he was the major shareholder of Hansung Electronics.

He was not only kind to him as a person, but also tried to help him from behind.

-A1 Workbot: Security business agreement with Hansung Group.

Yoo-hyun sighed inwardly, recalling the notification he had received a while ago.

“It’s a problem because he cares too much.”

“Ha ha! The chairman is really special. He probably knows that you moved into this office.”

“Did you tell him?”

Yoo-hyun glared at him and Park Young-hoon quickly raised his hand.

“No way. I’m not that kind of guy who blabs.”

“Don’t ever do that. He’ll try to take care of me too much if he finds out.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“I’ve just hired the staff. I want to start quietly.”

No matter how comfortable Chairman Shin Kyung-wook looked, he was the head of the second-ranked group in the business world.

His friendship alone was enough to shake the employees.
