Deputi Kwon Se-jung tergantung di dinding miring 110 derajat seperti jangkrik. Ia mengulurkan tangannya dengan ekspresi sedih.
“Membantu!”
“Ambil saja kalau kau mau. Kenapa kau tidak bisa?”
Wakil Kim Young-shin membentaknya, meskipun dia sudah berusaha sekuat tenaga.
Dia pikir dia orang baik, tapi dia sebenarnya setan yang menyamar.
Gedebuk.
Wakil Kwon Se-jung akhirnya berguling di atas matras.
Di sebelahnya, Jang Joon-shik sudah kelelahan.
Sementara itu, Yoo-hyun telah melewati satu tembok dan memanjat tembok berikutnya.
Langit-langitnya rendah karena berada di dalam ruangan, tetapi lintasannya memiliki berbagai kemiringan, jadi tidak ada ruang untuk kebosanan.
Ketak.
Yoo-hyun menginjak pegangan dan menurunkan pusat gravitasinya. Kemudian, ia mengangkat tubuhnya dan mengulurkan tangannya.
Tangannya mendarat di pegangan kuning yang cukup tinggi.
Ia mulai terbiasa dengan sensasi pegangan yang kasar dan keras.
Wakil Kim Young-shin berteriak dari bawah.
“Baiklah. Terus saja seperti itu.”
Didorong oleh sorakannya, Yoo-hyun mempercepat larinya.
Dia memiliki kekuatan tubuh bagian bawah yang baik karena dia banyak berlari, dan keseimbangan tubuhnya juga meningkat pesat dengan berlatih bela diri.
Kekuatan tubuh bagian atasnya juga baik berkat latihan teratur, jadi memanjat tembok bukan masalah besar baginya.
Desir. Desir.
Apakah karena dia memanjat tempat-tempat yang biasanya tidak bisa dia panjat?
Dia merasakan sensasi penaklukan setiap kali dia meraih pegangan baru.
Dia merasakan suatu pencapaian setiap kali dia berhasil dalam kursus yang sulit.
Dia merasa seperti telah menjadi Spider-Man atau semacamnya.
Degup. Degup.
Dadanya berdebar-debar menyenangkan.
Dia tersenyum lebar ketika mendengar suara dari bawah.
“Wakil Han, itu bukan arah yang benar. Tidak ada tempat untuk meraih di sana karena pegangannya rendah.”
Yoo-hyun menegaskan bahwa tidak ada tempat untuk meraih dan mengingat instruksi Wakil Kim Young-shin.
-Cukup dorong kakimu dan regangkan bahumu. Itu saja yang perlu kamu lakukan. Gampang, kan?
Dia pikir dia bisa meraih pegangan merah di belakang pegangan rendah jika dia melakukan apa yang dikatakannya.
Dia memutuskan untuk menindaklanjuti resolusinya.
“Kamu nggak bisa ke arah sana. Apa kamu mau ambil sesuatu yang jauh? Kamu bisa jatuh kalau begitu. Bahkan aku pun nggak bisa…”
Yoo-hyun mengabaikan kata-kata Wakil Kim Young-shin dan mengangkat tubuh bagian bawahnya.
Desir.
Dia melontarkan tubuhnya mengikuti momentum dan merentangkan bahunya untuk meraih pegangan itu.
Pegangan merah itu nyaris tak menyentuh ujung jarinya.
“Uracha!”
Yoo-hyun mengerahkan seluruh tenaganya dan menarik tubuhnya dengan satu tangan. Kemudian, ia meletakkan tangan dan kakinya yang lain pada pegangan yang tersisa.
Percikan.
Tubuhnya yang tampak hendak jatuh, menempel di dinding seperti jangkrik dan menjadi stabil.
“Hah? Berhasil?”
Wakil Kim Young-shin terkejut dan Yoo-hyun menyeringai padanya.
“Wah. Aku jago semua hal kecuali pakai kaki.”
“Itu benar.”
Wakil Kim Young-shin tidak punya apa-apa lagi untuk dikatakan kepadanya.
Sebaliknya, dia menendang kedua orang itu hingga tergeletak dan berkata.
“Kau lihat apa yang dilakukan Deputi Han? Setidaknya kau harus melakukan sebanyak itu. Ayo, bangun.”
“Hah? Lenganku tak bertenaga.”
“You have to do it with guts if you have no strength. Come on, get up. Hurry up.”
Deputy Kwon Se-jung felt like dying, and Jang Joon-shik pretended to be dead.
Then they heard Yoo-hyun’s voice from afar.
“Se-jung, come up here. The view is nice.”
Yoo-hyun was sitting on a spot where his head almost touched the ceiling and waving his hand.
He looked very innocent.
“Sigh. What should I do with that kid?”
Deputy Kwon Se-jung covered his face with his palm and sighed deeply.
The next morning.
The office was unusually quiet.
It was because the staff above the team leader level from each team were summoned for an organizational restructuring issue.
In the silent atmosphere, Deputy Kwon Se-jung groaned softly.
“I’m dying.”
Yoo-hyun, who was sitting next to him, shook his head.
“You’re good at chin-ups and you’re whining.”
“Hey, that was when I was young.”
“Whatever, where should we go next? There must be other fun leisure activities.”
Indoor rock climbing was a new fun for Yoo-hyun.
He wanted to try real rock climbing someday if he had a chance.
He thought he couldn’t find any other fun, and he wanted to find more.
Deputy Kwon Se-jung looked at him with a sour face.
“Let’s live a little first. I can’t move right now because of the muscle pain.”
“Huh? Swimming is supposed to be good for muscle pain, right? Is there anyone who likes swimming?”
“…”
Deputy Kwon Se-jung was speechless for a moment and called out to Jang Joon-shik, who was sitting next to him.
He also had patches all over his neck and back.
“Joon-shik, don’t you just want to rest?”
“I’ll follow Deputy Han.”
But Jang Joon-shik was still loyal.
Deputy Kwon Se-jung gave up and pointed at Jang Joon-shik’s monitor.
“What’s that on the screen? A CEO?”
“We just got an email from the CEO.”
“The vice president himself?”
Deputy Kwon Se-jung was surprised and leaned in.
Yoo-hyun, who was wondering what other fun things to do, also came closer.
There was a message sent to all employees with the title CEO Note on the screen.
What was the reason for Vice President Shin Myung-ho to send an email at this point?
-To create a first-class Hansung Electronics through innovation, the mobile phone division will adopt an all-in strategy for smartphones…
Yoo-hyun quickly skimmed through the fairly long content.
It was about the direction of the three major divisions: mobile phone, home appliance, and LCD division.
The summary was as follows:
Mobile phone division – innovation strategy through smartphones.
Home appliance division – differentiation strategy through Internet of Things.
LCD division – first-class strategy through synergy creation.
Deputy Kwon Se-jung immediately grasped Vice President Shin Myung-ho’s intention after reading the text.
“Wow, it looks like the vice president is pushing for it.”
“What?”
“I’m talking about the Innovation Strategy Office. Isn’t this giving them legitimacy? The Group Strategy Office must be in a bind.”
As Deputy Kwon Se-jung said, Vice President Shin Myung-ho had quoted most of what Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook had said.
Even if Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook’s name or the Innovation Strategy Office were not mentioned, it was obvious that he was behind it.
Yoo-hyun asked curiously.
“Why would the Group Strategy Office be in a bind?”
“They must feel like their rice bowl is being taken away.”
“They each have their roles, right? The Innovation Strategy Office handles the internal affairs of Hansung Electronics, and the Group Strategy Office handles the whole group.”
“Come on, the ones who are already there are better at taking care of their rice bowl.”
Deputy Kwon Se-jung’s realistic answer made Yoo-hyun chuckle.
“Haha. That’s true, that’s right.”
He laughed suddenly, and Deputy Kwon Se-jung looked at him with a baffled expression.
“What? Is this something to laugh about?”
“No. I just think you’re amazing.”
Yoo-hyun was not just saying that.
He had a good sense and a three-dimensional analytical ability.
He also had a leader’s vision.
He had a lot of potential to shine if he was well polished.
“What are you talking about?”
Yoo-hyun smiled at his colleague who was scratching his head awkwardly.
For some reason, he felt like he would work with him for a long time.
Like he did with Hyun Jin-gun.
This was also an unexpected development that he had never anticipated before.
At that moment, in the main office of the Group Strategy Office.
Executive Director Yoon Joo-tak combed his white hair and adjusted his glasses.
“It seems that the chairman tacitly agreed to it, since Vice President Shin Myung-ho stepped up.”
Communication Director Lim Dong-chan nodded his head.
“Yes. He said he wouldn’t care. It seems that Executive Director Shin Kyung-wook’s gamble paid off.”
“There must have been a deal behind it. He must have gritted his teeth too.”
He had to admit it.
Anyone could see that the Group Strategy Office was the one who got hit in the back of the head.
“Report on the progress of the electronics side.”
Executive Director Yoon Joo-tak straightened his posture and gestured with his chin. The heads of each department sitting on the sofa opened their mouths one by one.
“The home appliance division and Han Kyung-hoe line…”
“Considering the management situation of the mobile phone division…”
Executive Director Yoon Joo-tak stopped listening to Business Support Director Choi Sang-hyun’s report.
“Simple pressure won’t work. There will be inevitable losses in the short term while switching to smartphones. Aim for that.”
“Yes. I understand.”
“The strategic direction of the LCD division…”
Strategy Director Song Hyun-seung reported, and Executive Director Yoon Joo-tak pointed out the key point.
“Simple is best. Target Messenger Vice President Lim Joon-pyo. He tends to make mistakes when he gets excited.”
“Yes. I’ll get him recorded through you, Executive Director.”
After sorting out the business divisions to some extent, Communication Director Lim Dong-chan asked carefully.
“Executive Director, what about the Innovation Strategy Office?”
“We can’t let them go easily. Let’s see how long they can hold on.”
Executive Director Yoon Joo-tak flashed his eyes.
The effect of the CEO email was immediate.
The movement that seemed to take a long time happened in the afternoon.
The first thing was that Vice President Lim Joon-pyo brought all the group development planning team leaders down to the 13th floor.
“Hello.”
The people who were surprised by his sudden appearance got up and greeted him.
Vice President Lim Joon-pyo nodded his head and accepted their greetings. Then he pointed at one side of the office where the Innovative Product TF was located with his hand.
“Clear this side out and tidy up the partitions. Don’t let me hear any excuses about being delayed by the organization.”
“Yes. We understand.”
The development planning team leaders who answered immediately cleared their seats.
Soon after, contractors came running and started working on the partitions.
Drill drill drill.
It wasn’t just clearing out office space.
Inside a small meeting room on the 13th floor.
The mobile team was staying in the meeting room for a while to avoid the partition work.
Deputy Lee Chan Ho, who was fiddling with his laptop on the table, exclaimed in surprise.
“Huh? Our organization changed. We went directly under the division.”
“How many people are there?”
When Team Leader Choi Min-hee asked, Deputy Lee Chan Ho connected his laptop to the TV screen and answered.
“There are a total of 36 people.”
“The other teams must have moved too.”
“Yes. There’s one more part each.”
Yoo-hyun, who was leaning against the wall, looked at the organizational chart on the TV screen.
One part that was assigned to the TV, IT team as a non-resident was moved to a resident member.
Three more people were added to the mobile team.
Team Leader Choi Min-hee pointed out that part.
“Deputy Han, please take care of the new members. Deputy Han has a good personality, so you can easily help them adapt, right?”
“I’ll try.”
Yoo-hyun answered right away, but Deputy Hwang Dong-sik’s opinion was completely different.
“Team Leader, are you serious? I heard that Kim Jin-yeol Manager from the sales team has a pretty cold personality. And Na Guk-do Deputy is also like that.”
“The manager who was appointed to the marketing team also has a strong personality. I don’t know if they can handle Deputy Han.”
Deputy Lee Chan Ho also sided with Deputy Hwang Dong-sik.
Yoo-hyun asked with a bewildered expression.
“What do you mean? So what if they have a cold or strong personality?”
Deputy Hwang Dong-sik glanced at Yoo-hyun and tried to justify himself.
“No, I mean, it’s not our team’s business, but Vice President Yoon Byung-kwan is also grinding his teeth at Deputy Han.”
“Really? I even got a meal from Vice President Yoon.”
“What? Really?”
Deputy Hwang Dong-sik asked incredulously and Yoo-hyun confidently answered.
“Of course. Right, Joon-shik?”
Jang Joon-shik, yang menganggukkan kepalanya, berkata dengan tegas.
“Ya. Benar. Dan Wakil Kim Young-shin dari tim TV juga mengakui bahwa Wakil Han punya kepribadian yang baik.”
“Mengakui kepribadiannya?”
“Jadi, Wakil Kim Young-shin membayar biaya panjat tebing dalam ruangan.”
Agak berlebihan mengingat situasinya, tetapi itulah yang dikatakan dan dilakukannya.
Jang Joon-shik tidak akan berbohong sejak awal.
