Real Man

Chapter 73:

Chapter 73

As he turned his head, he saw that everyone had similar thoughts, licking their lips.

Their eyes conveyed their intention to tear him apart as soon as it was over.

Yet, Yoo-hyun’s expression was only calm as he gave the presentation.

The atmosphere felt like it wouldn’t end like this.

‘What is he planning to do?’

Choi Min Hee, the Manager, looked at Yoo-hyun with a curious gaze.

‘A little more loosely.’

Yoo-hyun adjusted his breathing moderately and slowed down the flow.

His hand gestures became slower and the gaps between words also widened.

It was only a slight decrease in speed that would go unnoticed without a timer, but the tension eased considerably.

When the tension eased, critical thinking tended to increase.

At the same time, the interest in his eyes changed to curiosity.

Usually, he would give a presentation that could lead to the opposite direction, but Yoo-hyun was different.

He rather pushed people into a more negative direction.

The effect was immediate.

Everyone was twitching their bodies, wanting to ask questions.

‘Just wait a moment. The real thing is coming next.’

Yoo-hyun checked the time and narrowed down the scope to the details of the HPDA3 panel.

The development progress was shown, and there were some problems, but they were well improved.

If it stayed like this for a little longer, the HPDA3 panel would be released on time without any trouble, and the HPDA3 would cause a huge hit in the market. 

That was the nuance.

At that moment, Yoo-hyun saw Park Seung Woo, the assistant manager who was tilting his head.

He thought that his usual companion would know that it was difficult to mass-produce PDA panels.

He hoped he wouldn’t misunderstand.

The purpose of this presentation was not to realistically represent the current situation of PDA panels.

Rather, making it look like it was really possible was the key point.

Making it look like a project he really wanted to get.

When the presentation was nearing its end, Yoo-hyun looked at Shin Chan Yong, the Manager.

He had his legs crossed and nodded his head as if he was interested.

He didn’t forget to give a sneering smile either.

Yoo-hyun met his eyes and left his last remark.

“That’s all for my presentation. Do you have any questions?”

As soon as Yoo-hyun finished speaking, hands were raised here and there.

It was no exaggeration to say that more than half of the people in the room raised their hands.

Of course, Shin Chan Yong, the Manager, was also among them.

“Yes, Manager Shin Chan Yong .”

Yoo-hyun reached out his hand and Shin Chan Yong turned on the microphone on the table and spoke.

“It seems like everyone has a lot of questions because it’s so flimsy.”

“Ha ha.”

As soon as he said that, laughter came from here and there.

Yoo-hyun sneered inwardly at the sight.

It wasn’t the calm Shin Chan Yong Manager he knew.

In other words, it meant that he was shaken enough by a mere newcomer seminar.

Finally, Shin Chan Yong’s attack began.

“The premise is wrong. What’s your basis for saying that mobile computers will surpass computer sales in four years? Don’t tell me you’re just saying what you think. If you’re not an amateur, you should speak with data.”

The source of the graph was already left on Yoo-hyun’s presentation material.

Shin Chan Yong wasn’t asking about that.

He just said that anyone could use data if they left a source and brought it up.

Rather, he asked if the data was really reliable.

Tap.

At that moment, Yoo-hyun pressed the number key on his laptop on the podium.

Then the screen changed and a material that wasn’t shown during the presentation popped up.

“Of course I don’t think that experts’ predictions are correct either. But as you can see here, when I intersected data from seven large research firms in the US and Europe, I don’t think four years is too much.”

“…”

The room became quiet for a moment.

It looked like he had done a detailed research.

Even Manager Shin Chan Yong  who was calm was shaken by the sudden reversal.

He brought his pupils back to their place and continued his speech.

“The research seems to be done well enough, but that’s just data. You need to be able to look at the field with a practitioner’s eye.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Yoo-hyun lifted his lips slightly at Shin Chan Yong’s forced argument.

He could see that he was embarrassed inside even if he pretended not to be.

It was because it was data from the research firms that he always trusted.

Soon after, Jo Soon Chul, the Assistant Manager of the first part, asked a question.

“What is the basis for the expected sales volume of HPDA3? Is it just what HP’s president said?”

“No.”

As soon as he answered, he pressed the number key and the evidence material appeared.

There were predictions of HPDA3’s sales volume from famous IT review sites.

This was also a cross-validated statement, not from one place.

A few questions followed and Yoo-hyun pressed the button immediately and showed the screen with his answer.

The people murmured as they saw it.

“What is this? Did he make all the Q&A materials?”

“He not only made them, but he also memorized the order.”

It was at the moment when Hwang Dong Sik, the assistant manager of the second part, muttered to himself and Choi Min Hee, the Manager, answered.

Yoo-hyun pressed the number again as usual.

And the page that unfolded matched exactly with the content.

To Choi Min Hee’s eyes, it was a clumsy method that looked foolish.

But there was no denying that he had put in a lot of effort.

“Is that really true, Manager Choi?”

“Check it out.”

As Choi Min Hee gestured with his chin, Hwang Dong Sik raised his hand.

He asked a specific question about the profit and loss of the company when selling HPDA3.

‘There’s no way he has this.’

He was shocked at the moment he saw the data on the screen.

It showed the calculation including various material costs.

At the same time, Yoo-hyun’s answer continued.

“Actually, I can’t accurately calculate the cost. I made this based on the material cost and sales revenue of other models. I think you should just refer to this as a minimum.”

“How did you make this? This is not a job you can do alone…”

“I modified it based on the data I received from my mentor, Assistant Manager Park Seung Woo. Please let me know if there is anything wrong.”

“Huh…”

Exclamations came from here and there.

It wasn’t something that could be done easily with just data.

Of course, no one here knew if the content was accurate.

The important thing was whether he did it or not.

Didn’t he have to do this from the beginning?

That was nonsense.

It was a result that was in Yoo-hyun’s calculation.

He showed his weakness first.

People were focused on wanting to poke at that weakness, so a dramatic reversal effect was achieved.

Yoo-hyun didn’t prepare this much just to pass the seminar.

Rather, his goal was to shake Assistant Manager Shin Chan Yong and blur his judgment.

Manager Shin Chan Yong was someone who hated losing as much as dying.

He wasn’t someone who would stay still after being hit by a counterpunch from a newcomer.

As expected, Manager Shin Chan Yong  attacked him with his teeth clenched.

“You said it was all done earlier, but you know that problems are popping up one after another in the development event, right?”

He even added the problems of the HPDA3 panel that were not publicized.

He showed his passion for it.

He thought he had hit the mark and Shin Chan Yong section chief smiled triumphantly.

How childish.

As if he had been waiting for it, Yoo-hyun calmly showed the data he had received from visiting the production line himself.

He also added a message to it.

“Of course, there are problems. But if we fix them, we can meet the schedule without any problem.”

“What if it doesn’t work at once?”

“I don’t know much about that since I’m not an engineer. But I heard from my mentor that there was never a risk-free project that we did.”

“You heard?”

“Yes. I learned a lot from helping Mr. Park Seung Woo, who is working harder than anyone else for the success of HPDA3 panel. That’s why I’m more attached to this project.”

“Success doesn’t come from being attached.”

“I know that. But I also learn a lot from seeing him enjoy his work even in difficult situations. I heard that we never failed to do anything we did. No matter what difficulties we face, I’m confident that HPDA3 will succeed.”

The first thing was to create an image that Park Seung Woo, whom he ignored, was doing very well.

The second thing was to show that the newcomer he wanted to trample on wanted to do it really badly.

He hated losing something, so the more he did that, the more he had to dive deeper into this PDA project.

Making him choose emotionally was Yoo-hyun’s goal.

As expected, Shin Chan Yong section chief didn’t back down easily.

“You need to manage the risk properly. If you go on like this, you’ll never meet the deadline for HPDA3 panel. Don’t you know that as a person in charge?”

It wasn’t a question for Yoo-hyun.

Manager Shin Chan Yong words were nothing but a slap in the face for Park Seung Woo, who was in charge of it.

Yoo-hyun dodged the answer.

“I’ve seen Mr. Park Seung Woo working hard for HPDA3 panel more than anyone else. I learned a lot from helping him out, even though I’m not much of a help. That’s why I’m more attached to this project.”

Everyone wondered why Manager  Shin Chan Yong was so persistent.

He was pressuring Yoo-hyun as if he was the person in charge of PDA panel.

‘Isn’t that too much?’

‘It’s like he has some grudge against him.’

Even those who had doubts about Yoo-hyun’s presentation felt sympathy for him.

Eventually, Manager Shin Chan Yong couldn’t land a proper blow on Yoo-hyun and reached the end of the presentation time.

“Then I’ll end my presentation here. Thank you very much for listening for a long time.”

As Yoo-hyun bowed his head, applause erupted from here and there.

Clap clap clap.

Manager Shin Chan Yong bit his lower lip and moved his hand slowly.

It was then that he felt the burning eyes around him.

After the presentation, everyone quickly filled out the evaluation form in front of them.

They didn’t know about other items, but most of them circled ‘very well done’ in preparation.

Those who saw Yoo-hyun’s Q&A session had no choice but to do so.

Regardless of whether he did well or not, he was a junior who tried his best and did his best.

He had to look cute.

“Wow, Park Seung Woo. Your mentee is amazing. I saw 130 pages of preparation. Did you make an encyclopedia?”

“He’s just clueless. Sigh.”

He said that, but Park Seung Woo felt good inside.

“assistant manage Parkr, good job. A newcomer has to roll around and grow like that. Hahaha.”

“He did it all by himself.”

Everyone who passed by praised assistant manager Park Seung Woo.

Of course, there were some exceptions.

Oh Jae Hwan team leader came over with a frown on his forehead and the people who were gathered scattered one by one.

They didn’t want to be next to him when they didn’t know when sparks would fly out.

As expected, nothing nice came out of Oh Jae Hwan team leader’s mouth.

“assistant manager Park, you should have taught him properly.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“The font size is all different. Don’t you know it’s inconvenient for the viewer if the head title position changes?”

“Oh…”

“Also, why did you use different colors for the saturation? If you’re going to do that, just use gray.”

“I’ll warn him.”

“That’s right. Everything else is good, but that’s what’s lacking. That’s what I’m saying.”

Assistant Manager Park Seung Woo  sighed inwardly.

If a newcomer showed that much effort, the normal thing would be to praise him first.

He always picked on something trivial.
