The bitterness was brief, as Kim Hoseong, the deputy, expressed his concern.
“I’m not sure if I should go, since the project is shaky.”
“Is it because of your transfer to the Future Product Strategy Planning Team?”
“Yeah. You know the result, right?”
“Yes. I saw the list. But did they announce the date of the transfer?”
“It will be out next week. The team leader will also find out then. Well, he won’t be happy. There will be disappointed colleagues too.”
Kim Hoseong, the deputy, seemed more worried about the remaining colleagues than the team leader.
Especially since he was leaving behind someone like Park Geunha, the section chief, who had been a comfort to him.
But he couldn’t cling to a job that didn’t suit him.
Yoo-hyun spoke honestly.“They will fill the gap. They will also adjust the work.”
“Do you think so?”
“Just think about yourself for now. If it collapses that easily, it’s not a big company.”
“Only me…”
Kim Hoseong, the deputy, had a thoughtful expression for a moment.
There was nothing more Yoo-hyun could say.
It was up to him to find the answer.
Kim Hoseong, the deputy, asked Yoo-hyun, who was waiting while drinking coffee.
“Can I ask you one question?”
“Yes. Of course.”
“Well… Can I do well there?”
He wondered what he was hesitating for, but it was something Yoo-hyun could answer objectively.
“Yes. Definitely.”
“Really. Thank you.”
Kim Hoseong, the deputy’s, lips curled up at Yoo-hyun’s confident answer.
Was it because he saw his changed appearance?
The process of change that started from his meeting with him passed by like a zoetrope.
A feeling that suddenly came to him came out of Yoo-hyun’s mouth.
“He changed a lot in a short time. Right?”
“Yeah. I could see the difference when I listened to the training today.”
Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, who was standing next to him, nodded.
“At least I feel like I’m leaving a good mark on the company.”
“Yeah. It was worth the hard work.”
“Now it’s the last time for the company I’ve grown fond of.”
“Yeah. The time has come.”
“From now on, a completely new thing will unfold.”
Yoo-hyun added one more thing, and Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, who had been answering routinely, called him.
“Yeah. That’s true too. But Yoo-hyun.”
“Huh?”
“You, when are you going down?”
“…”
Yoo-hyun silently looked down at the ski resort.
It didn’t seem like much when he saw it from below, but it looked very high from above.
The same scenery looked different just by changing the perspective.
He realized something anew, and Jeong Hyeonwoo hit Yoo-hyun’s weak point.
“Bro, you’re not scared, are you?”
“No, not that. How could I be?”
“Just do what you learned. I’ll go first, so come down.”
Shik. Shik.
How could he ski so well when he had been staying in Ulsan all this time? He looked like a pro from behind.
Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, who started after him, was the same.
Only Jang Junsik was at the same level as Yoo-hyun.
“Uhohohok!”
The novice was waving his arms and slowly going down.
He was not impressive, but Yoo-hyun was no different.
He should have learned earlier, but he only played golf and didn’t think of coming to the ski resort.
“Hoo.”
Yoo-hyun caught his breath and repeated the instructor’s teachings he had met at the beginner’s course a while ago.
‘He told me to lift my front foot and put pressure on my heel.’
Yoo-hyun followed the movement he had repeated several times.
He was good at following what he saw.
Ssssk.
The moment he stepped on the snowboard on the slope, the so-called leaf technique unfolded.
He stretched out his arms straight to balance himself, and put his center of gravity back to add stability.
Whooong.
Yoo-hyun slowly went down the intermediate course while facing the wind.
The slope was higher, but the movement was flawless.
Rather, the scenery was more beautiful.
“Wow! This is great.”
He couldn’t help but exclaim.
He felt like he understood why people recommended snowboarding so much.
He slowly went down the side, and suddenly a red safety fence appeared next to Yoo-hyun.
Now it was time to turn and change direction.
‘Just turn your arm naturally.’
Yoo-hyun stretched out his left arm in the direction he wanted to go.
His waist turned and his lower body naturally followed.
So far, it was textbook.
The problem was that he gained speed when he turned halfway.
The place he was in was steeper than the beginner’s course.
Shiiik!
“Uh? Uh?”
He had to brake, but his lower body didn’t listen.
It felt like kicking a soccer ball.
That’s right. Yoo-hyun was not good at anything with his feet except running.
The thrill was brief.
The snowboard became vertical.
That’s when Yoo-hyun’s rapid run began.
Meanwhile, Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, who was waiting in the middle of the course, spat out a curse.
“Why is he not coming?”
“I know. I have to say hello and go down quickly.”
Jin Seonmi, the deputy, who was next to him, chimed in, and Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, pointed to the camera around her neck.
“Is it because of the magazine shoot?”
“Yes. I’ve been taking pictures, but there’s nothing worth it. I wish it was more active and cheerful, and had a feeling that caught the eye…”
“Wow, that’s also an art field.”
“Rather than art, I need a picture that gets a good reaction from the employees.”
Jin Seonmi, the deputy, tapped the camera and shrugged her shoulders.
She had a professional vibe.
That’s when it happened.
Shaaak!
Someone was coming down from above at a terrifying speed.
The people who saw it murmured.
“He’s riding the board like a ski.”
“Isn’t he too fast? Isn’t that dangerous?”
“His expression is calm. He must be doing it on purpose.”
Whik.
Suddenly, the snowboard that was coming down fast hit the chin and bounced up.
Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, who was startled, shouted.
“Yoo-hyun!”
Sometimes the surroundings look like slow motion.
This phenomenon usually occurred when he raised his concentration to the extreme.
When was it?
It was like that when he had his first sparring with Kim Taesu in the gym, and when he threw his body to block a goal in the soccer match at the Ulsan factory.
And now, Yoo-hyun felt the same way.
He was flying in the air and his body was spinning big, but the surroundings were clearly visible.
Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, Jin Seonmi, the deputy, and the people around them.
Even the people who were riding the lift up.
Everyone had their mouths open.
Fortunately, he had turned the direction at the last moment.
At least he wouldn’t fall on the people.
Instead, the direction was toward the safety fence.
He couldn’t stop in the air because he was going fast.
He couldn’t land on the ground either because he had jumped so high.
He was bound to hit something.
It wouldn’t hurt much because it was a safety net, but he didn’t want to hit his head first.
Wouldn’t it be better to hit the bottom of the snowboard if possible?
It seemed better for his safety and dignity.
All this judgment was done in an instant.
If he made a decision, he had to act.
Yoo-hyun lifted his upper body and stretched his legs.
“Urachacha!”
He tried so hard that his calm face also showed some strain.
But he was flying faster than he thought.
He hit the safety net before he could fully stretch his legs.
Wobble.
Luckily, the sharp side of the snowboard touched first, so he wasn’t injured.
But why did the world look upside down?
Thud.
Yoo-hyun grabbed the safety net with his hand and barely lifted his head.
He saw the snowboard that had pierced through the safety net and sunk in.
It looked like it was completely stuck.
At the same time, he made eye contact with the people who were going up on the lift.
They were the secretaries, including Lee Ae-rin, the deputy.
“Oh my, Han, the section chief!”
“What should we do! He’s hanging upside down.”
“Are you hurt?”
Chiiing.
Before Yoo-hyun could answer awkwardly, the lift went up.
This time, Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, came over and held his stomach.
“Puhahaha! Hey, you’re awesome.”
‘This bastard!’
This is why well-raised colleagues are useless.
He was choked for a moment, but Jin Seonmi, the deputy, appeared with the camera among the crowd.
Click. Click.
“Oppa, can you lift your face a little? I can’t see you well.”
“What are you doing?”
“Magazine shoot. I’m going to use this picture as the main one.”
“…”
Let me say it again, colleagues are not needed.
A while later, the magazine that was published had a huge picture of Yoo-hyun on it.
A picture of the fruitful training scene, a group picture with the snowfield as the background, a picture of eating barbecue, a picture of having a campfire at night, etc.
There were too many good pictures, but in the center was a picture of Yoo-hyun hanging backwards.
The people who saw it called Yoo-hyun from here and there.
-Puhahaha! You have to come down when you ride a board, why are you sticking to it? Even cicadas don’t stick to the wall upside down.
The one who laughed the most was Kim Hyun-min, the senior manager.
Yoo-hyun was choked, but he had to pay him back later, so he endured it for now.
The humiliation was brief.
The good news that followed soon brightened Yoo-hyun’s mood.
In 2011, Hansung Display achieved the best performance ever, and the company paid a huge bonus accordingly.
They differentiated the performance by department, but the basic amount itself was incomparable to the previous one.
It was 1,000% of the salary.
If you add the special contribution and encouragement money, it was close to 1,500%.
It was impossible to pay such an amount even if the performance was excellent before.
Why?
Because they had to watch out for other affiliates.
Especially, Shin Nyeongwook, the vice president, broke the limit that Hansung Electronics could not have a higher amount.
Through this, Hansung Display paid the money to the employees up to the upper limit.
Of course, Yoo-hyun thought it was still not enough, but it had meaning.
Because Hansung Electronics and Hansung Technic couldn’t just sit still, thanks to Hansung Display’s move.
They had to open the standards transparently to appease the employees’ complaints.
That meant the money that should go back to the employees found its place.
This would soon affect the whole group.
