Chapter 832
Shiver.
Seeing his panicked face, Yoo-hyun’s face also showed worry.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
“This is…”
“What is it?”
“Two lines… two lines.”
On the pregnancy test, two red lines were clearly drawn.
The meaning of this picture?
Yoo-hyun knew what it meant.
“Mentor… don’t tell me…”
“I… I’m going to be a dad? Really?”
“Are you okay?”
He quickly grabbed the shoulder of Park Seung-woo, the manager who was staggering.
He had a blank expression on his face and pushed away Yoo-hyun’s hand and stood up.
“Mentee, I have to go now.”
“You should tell Da-hye first. She’ll be here soon.”
“No, I can’t. Hyejin has been feeling unwell lately. I have to get her something good to eat.”
“…”
He was the one who wanted to drink all night.
Park Seung-woo, the manager, hesitated as if he had something to say.
Chin.
He put his hand on Yoo-hyun’s shoulder and said seriously.
“Mentee, you should get married. There’s no happiness like this.”
“Ah… yes.”
“I mean it. That’s the end of my mentor’s teachings.”
With that, Park Seung-woo, the manager, turned around and ran.
“That’s not the exit.”
He was about to open the door to the rooftop storage room, but he changed his direction and ran away.
His voice echoed in the hallway.
“Yahoo!”
Was it that great?
Yoo-hyun folded his absurd feelings for a moment and muttered.
“Marriage…”
Before that, he had to propose.
How should he do it?
Yoo-hyun continued his worries as he went to the president’s office.
Da-hye, who was sitting across from him, asked.
“What are you thinking about so hard?”
“Just… Da-hye, don’t you want anything?”
“I don’t need anything like that.”
“Still, there must be something you wish for.”
“I already have enough.”
He knew her heart, but he couldn’t just let it go.
“Then, where do you want to go? You used to write a bucket list.”
“I don’t write that anymore. I’ve achieved most of them, so I have nothing to write.”
“I see.”
“Why? Do you want to go somewhere, Yoo-hyun? I’ll look it up for you.”
“No, not that.”
Ugh.
It would be nice if she told him.
He knew that she would be happy with whatever he gave her or wherever he took her.
But he didn’t want to spend such a meaningful moment as usual.
Should he just confess at Namsan as he planned?
No.
Even without Park Young-hoon’s words, it was a bit bland.
‘I need something new…’
Da-hye said to Yoo-hyun, who was hesitating.
“Don’t do that and talk about Doha.”
“Why Doha?”
“I met him earlier and he still seems to want to go to Huawei.”
“Kid, don’t think about useless things.”
“At first, I thought he was joking, but he seems serious. He also talked to Jingun.”
Huawei offered Doha a huge salary.
They even offered him a powerful position as the chief technology officer.
But that wasn’t Doha’s interest.
He had a completely different reason for wanting to go to Huawei.
“What, is he a justice warrior or something? What is he going to do with the evidence of information leakage?”
“He seemed to be on drugs. You know that China has been hacking a lot lately. That’s why voice phishing has increased.”
“Still, that’s too dangerous. What did Jingun say?”
“He said it was a good idea. JK Communications also got an offer from Huawei, so they seem to want to go together.”
They were two people who had nothing to be frustrated about in the world.
They met a problem that even the two geniuses couldn’t solve when they put their heads together.
He couldn’t just leave them alone to go to China.
What would they do with the evidence they found?
If they got caught by mistake, it could become a political issue between the countries.
Many domestic companies were related to China, so they could suffer damage at the national level.
More than that, Yoo-hyun was worried about their safety.
“Ugh, I’ll take care of it.”
“What happened to the Hansung Communications executive who went to China?”
“The result will be out soon. Then you don’t have to look for evidence.”
It was at that moment.
Beep.
His phone rang and Kwon Se-jung, the manager’s name popped up.
“…”
Yoo-hyun frowned as he checked the content, and Da-hye asked cautiously.
“What? Is the result bad?”
“Yeah. It’s twisted, twisted.”
Yoo-hyun scratched his head hard at the unexpected development.
He already knew about Woo Jung-cheol, the vice president of Hansung Communications.
He received a huge amount of money from Huawei in the process of ordering a lot of Huawei equipment, and then he moved to a Huawei subsidiary and became a technical advisor for Huawei.
He then used his connections to force Hansung Communications to buy 5G communication equipment.
Yoo-hyun stepped in to stop this incident, which would later become a big problem.
He didn’t mention it directly, but the US had already warned Huawei, and with the guidance of Shin Kyung-wook, the chairman, the staff of the Innovation Strategy Office got involved.
Yoo-hyun knew that some of the best members had participated in the investigation.
If they could reveal the truth?
They would have a reason to get rid of the Huawei equipment that had been imported into the country.
They might not be able to interfere with other countries’ affairs, but at least they could stabilize the area around the domestic data centers.
That alone would be a great achievement.
Yoo-hyun intended to start with the first button and do it right.
But what was this?
-It was concluded that there was no suspicion. No matter how much they dug, they couldn’t find any evidence that Vice President Woo Jungcheol had committed any illegal acts.
They couldn’t even find any connection with Huawei, let alone reveal the problem.
‘Surely the Chinese company he was transferring to was a subsidiary of Huawei.’
There was no way his memory was wrong.
He still remembered vividly how he had been hit hard in the back of his head and investigated it afterwards.
Of course, it was much earlier than the time Yoo-hyun had experienced.
The situation then and now could have been different.
Let’s leave it at that.
‘Why couldn’t they find out the traces of the money he received?’
The money that went into installing Huawei’s 4G communication equipment was tens of billions of won.
It was a time when there should have been plenty of evidence, but there was no trace of it.
According to Kwon Se-jung, the manager of the strategic planning department who was in charge of the communication part, there was no sign of any wrongdoing.
What the hell happened?
A week later, in the office of the branch manager of Hansung Communication in Gwanghwamun.
Woo Jungcheol, the vice president and branch manager of Gwanghwamun, who was also the head of the next-generation network, said.
“At that time, the price of Huawei’s 4G communication equipment was more than 30 percent cheaper than the competitors, including Ericsson. It’s not for nothing that 25 percent of the companies in the world chose Huawei’s equipment.”
“Didn’t you know that the US had recommended banning its use, since you were the person in charge?”
Woo Jungcheol calmly answered the question of Kwon Se-jung, who was sitting across from him.
“If that was the problem, the Hansung Communication representative, the Hansung Group executives, and the board of directors who made the final decision should be responsible.”
“They didn’t have enough information as much as the field workers, did they?”
“I was the same. It was just a simple recommendation. No one had any problem when we said we would buy it.”
“…”
“Don’t talk about things that are already over, and have some coffee. A rare guest has come. Hehehe!”
Woo Jungcheol looked at Yoo-hyun, who was sitting next to him, and smiled slyly.
His bald head, his nose that drooped down, and his wrinkled face that looked like a mask whenever he smiled were exactly as Yoo-hyun remembered.
He felt nauseous as he looked at his oily face.
‘Because of that bastard!’
Woo Jungcheol didn’t directly harm Yoo-hyun.
But he had suffered a lot trying to clean up the mess he had made.
He wanted to put him in jail for industrial espionage if he could.
Squeeze!
He tried to calm down, but his past memories kept coming back and his hand holding the coffee cup tightened.
Yoo-hyun forced a smile and opened his mouth.
“A rare guest? I’m just a junior from Hansung.”
“Don’t be so modest. Who doesn’t know the CEO of River in Gwanghwamun? You’re someone who has done amazing things.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Hmm, but why did you come with the innovation strategy team? It doesn’t seem like a very compatible combination.”
His thin eyebrows twitched and his eyes had a playful wrinkle.
He was so relaxed, as if he had sold the country and the company and still enjoyed it.
“Manager Kwon is my classmate. I asked him to bridge the gap and came with him.”
“A bridge. What do you need from someone like me, a noble person?”
He asked sarcastically, and Yoo-hyun answered calmly.
“I’m just a face in the Hansung board of directors. And I’m here for personal business, not Hansung.”
“Business?”
“Yes. I want to borrow your experience.”
“Ha ha! What experience do I have?”
“Aren’t you the one who has won the most orders for communication equipment at Hansung Communication? I’ve been building a data center recently, and I can’t help but be interested.”
For a moment, he flinched, and Yoo-hyun caught it with his sharp eyes.
It was tempting.
‘He deliberately excluded Huawei’s communication equipment.’
The base station communication equipment that connects the terminals, the router that transmits data through the optimal communication path, the switch that controls multiple servers, etc.
Yoo-hyun did not use Huawei’s communication equipment, which was inevitable when a data center was established.
If more data centers like this were built?
It would disrupt Huawei’s strategy of stealing information from all over the world to the Chinese Communist Party.
Yoo-hyun was convinced by this small hint that he was related to Huawei.
Sip.
He pretended to drink coffee and glanced at Kwon Se-jung.
“Hmm, is this something that a Hansung employee can hear?”
“I’m…”
“Se-jung.”
Tap tap.
Yoo-hyun tapped his shoulder, and Kwon Se-jung, who had a worried look, nodded.
There was no reason to stay in the seat by force, as they had already agreed on what to say.
As Kwon Se-jung got up, Yoo-hyun sorted out his thoughts.
He came here to check the atmosphere of Vice President Woo Jungcheol.
The choice was one of two.
Should he dig deeper? Or should he use him?
Even if he had a memory of the future, it didn’t match perfectly with the present.
Even if Yoo-hyun investigated himself, there was no guarantee that he would get a better result.
There was a risk, and he might lose the connection he had caught.
Then?
He recalled what Hyun Jin-geon Gun, who had come to Korea a few days ago, had said.
-Yoo-hyun, there’s a vice president of Hansung Communication who’s in charge of Huawei. If you just use him, you don’t have to transfer Do Ha, and you can go inside Huawei, right? Then you’ll be relieved too.
The method was simple.
When they received an order for communication equipment, they would go to the headquarters and take an inspection, and then connect the equipment they had prepared to infiltrate the internal network. That was his scenario.
He said there was no problem, and he even showed a demo with Nadoha.
It was absurd, but if it was possible, it was the best.
If he could get the hot key as planned, he could make the backdoor of Huawei’s communication equipment useless.
He could also destroy Huawei’s data center, which was a hotbed of illegality.
“Hmm.”
Of course, there was a risk factor.
But he couldn’t just send Hyun Jin-geon Gun and Nadoha, who were already hooked.
