Chapter 555:

Kwon Se-jung and Jang Jun-sik were still working hard to clear the piled-up tasks.

-Thank you for your hard work today. Let’s be loyal to our families and leave on time.

Yoo-hyun approached Kwon Se-jung, who was still focused even after the end-of-work notification rang.

“Take it easy and go home. You don’t have to stick to the schedule too tightly.”

“I’m having fun, so mind your own business.”

“What’s so fun about it?”

Yoo-hyun was incredulous, but Kwon Se-jung was calm.

“It’s not easy to get a chance to control not only the executives, but also the clients and the parts companies.”

“That’s true. I feel like I’m learning a lot more than when I was in the Innovation Strategy Office.”

Jang Jun-sik, who was sending an email next to him, chimed in.

Weird guys.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and put his hand on Kwon Se-jung’s shoulder.

“Hyun-woo will be here soon, so please pay a little more attention.”

“It’s nothing, so stop worrying. Go ahead. You said you had something to do today.”

“I’ve been worried about you since you mentioned being a single household. And Jun-sik has a favor from Park, so I’m worried about him too.”

When Yoo-hyun revealed his honest feelings, Kwon Se-jung shrugged his shoulders.

“Enough. Go ahead. We’ll finish up soon.”

“Okay. I’ll go home after a little more work.”

“Alright. Then I’ll go first.”

Yoo-hyun waved his hand to his reliable colleagues and turned around.

His destination was the gym, where he was going to meet Park Young-hoon.

The gym was different from before, as the electricity was back on.

Maybe because of the remodeling, the lighting seemed unusually bright.

Yoo-hyun looked around the changed scenery one by one and stopped in front of a large cabinet on the wall.

The cabinet was filled with various trophies and certificates, with the champion belt in the center.

Kim Tae-soo, Oh Jung-wook, Kang Dong-ho, and so on.

Many of his colleagues, excluding the champion Lee Jang-woo, had achieved results.

The results that they had built up step by step showed the history of the gym.

Yoo-hyun admired each one of them.

“It’s amazing when you look at it like this.”

The gym owner had been running the gym without any profit.

Even when he was in the red, he treated the old members like family and didn’t take any money from them.

He didn’t use the champion Lee Jang-woo as a money-maker, but supported him to focus on his training.

In this situation, it would be normal to go bankrupt, but it wasn’t.

He not only survived, but also grew bigger and bigger.

Bang. Bapang. Bang.

“Okay, one-two. One-two. When you hit, make sure to shout.”

“Yes, sir.”

Yoo-hyun found the reason for that in the sight of people exercising busily.

First of all, many new members came in because of the halo effect of the champion.

This could be seen as a coincidence, but the important thing was the next.

When the gym owner was having a hard time managing alone, the old members rolled up their sleeves and stepped up.

They each took on the role of the gym owner and conducted the training, which increased the exercise effect twice as much.

Thanks to that, positive word-of-mouth spread and more people flocked in.

The gym owner’s heart of treating the members like family paid off greatly.

Such a great gym owner came to Yoo-hyun and sighed deeply.

“Haa. Did you come, Yoo-hyun?”

“Yes. Is something wrong? You look pale.”

“What’s wrong is. I can’t sleep because I’m in pain from paying the electricity bill.”

The landlord took the electricity bill and didn’t pay it, so the gym owner had to cover it all.

He followed Yoo-hyun’s advice and got the electricity back on for now, but his wounded pride didn’t recover.

Yoo-hyun, who already knew the situation, asked to confirm.

“Have you not reached an agreement with the landlord yet?”

“What agreement? That bastard pushed a recorder at me. He said he was threatened.”

“Did you listen to the content?”

“He only recorded a few curses I said. Anyway, I’ll kill him if I see him.”

The gym owner gritted his teeth, and Yoo-hyun stopped him.

“What’s the point of fighting? Just hold on a little longer.”

“He keeps telling me to get out.”

“You still have some time left on the contract. It’s okay.”

“I feel like I can’t live with this humiliation. I just want to rip him apart whenever I think of him.”

He didn’t seem to have much hair to lose, but Yoo-hyun didn’t bother to mention that fact.

Instead, he tried to comfort the gym owner in another way.

“I’m looking into it, by the way.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’ll take care of it with Young-hoon.”

“That kid Young-hoon, I haven’t seen him much lately. What’s going on with him?”

The gym owner muttered with a worried expression.

It was then.

Yoo-hyun pointed to the open door.

“There he is.”

There was Park Young-hoon, who looked even paler than the gym owner.

A moment later, Yoo-hyun sat on the sofa in the gym owner’s office.

Park Young-hoon sat across from him, and the door was tightly locked.

It was thanks to the gym owner’s consideration, who told them to talk.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“…”

Sip.

Yoo-hyun asked first, but Park Young-hoon took a moment to sip his soy milk with a straw.

His face was dark and his expression was very serious, so Yoo-hyun couldn’t bring up the main topic.

He was about to talk about the building when Park Young-hoon opened his mouth at the same time.

“The building…”

“What I wanted to say is…”

When Park Young-hoon, who had been hesitating, spoke at the same timing, Yoo-hyun gestured first.

“You go ahead.”

“Actually…no. To put it simply, I feel a bit sorry for you.”

“Sorry for what? The profit was good.”

It was more than good.

Park Young-hoon had increased Yoo-hyun’s account by more than twice in a short period of time.

Thanks to that, the amount of money changed not only in units, but also in the first digit.

In a situation where he could shrug his shoulders, Park Young-hoon still spoke in a troubled voice.

“It’s not about the money.”

“Then what?”

“I’m thinking of quitting the company.”

“Quitting?”

Bak Yeong-hun answered in a low voice to the surprised Yu Hyun.

“Yeah. That’s why I don’t think I can manage your money anymore.”

“…”

As soon as he heard Bak Yeong-hun’s words, Yu Hyun’s mind flashed with what he wanted to ask.

He wanted to create a proper job for Na Do-ha through Bak Yeong-hun, who had IT companies as his main clients.

He was sure that Na Do-ha would soar if he had the right environment.

Tsk tsk.

‘But this is not the time.’

His intention was good, but it was not something he could say in front of Bak Yeong-hun, who looked exhausted.

Yu Hyun turned his head and straightened his posture, and Bak Yeong-hun gave a bitter smile.

“Are you disappointed that I can’t take responsibility until the end?”

“No. Don’t tell me. Is it because of your team leader?”

“Well, I can’t deny that. That bastard was calling me a son of a bitch and a bastard today, so I had a fight with him.”

“You’re the top performer in your team. Why is he like that?”

“He’s a trash with no character. Anyway, I’ve made up my mind. I wanted to tell you sooner, but I’m telling you now.”

Yu Hyun looked at Bak Yeong-hun, who seemed to have cleared his mind, and asked a realistic question.

“Are you going to quit?”

“No. I invested your money in the same direction as my personal money. Thanks to that, I made a lot of profit. I’m thinking of doing some personal investment for a while.”

“So you’re still working?”

“It suits my personality. If I make some profit, I might start a company.”

Bak Yeong-hun was emotional, but he was very cold when it came to investing.

His skills were proven by Yu Hyun’s account returns.

“Do you have an item?”

“Just a securities investment company. I have a vague idea that people would flock to it if I make it convenient to use on mobile.”

“You know a lot of IT companies. Did you look into it?”

“I did, but it costs a lot of money. It’s not easy.”

“Hmm… Ah.”

Yu Hyun clapped his hands as he imagined the situation in his head.

He had a brilliant idea that pierced his brain.

“What? What’s going on?”

Yu Hyun said bluntly, looking at Bak Yeong-hun, who blinked his eyes.

“Hyung, let’s start a company. Right now.”

“What about the money?”

“I’ll invest all my money. That should be enough for the capital, right?”

“Huh? Why? Can you trust me?”

Bak Yeong-hun looked at him with a dumbfounded expression, but Yu Hyun retorted.

“Who else can I trust with my money? The team leader who has no character? Or the deputy manager who has no performance?”

“That’s true, but.”

“Let’s do it properly while we’re at it.”

“What?”

Bak Yeong-hun asked, and Yu Hyun answered passionately.

“Let’s do what you said. Make a mobile app, set up a system, and do a proper business.”

“It’s not just money, but it’s hard to find a company that can support a proper system for a small company. It’s not an easy task.”

Korea had a high smartphone penetration rate, but it was still vulnerable to software.

In a situation where even large banks had difficulty building a proper mobile app, it was hard for a new company to get a higher level of support.

It was impossible to handle all this by themselves.

But Yu Hyun had an alternative: Na Do-ha.

-I wish I had made an app when I was young. It’s not a big deal when I try it.

Na Do-ha was not just talking.

He quit Hansung and proved his skills in the venture industry, focusing on fintech.

Of course, it could be different at the present time, but he had enough potential.

Only those who had experienced it could say it with confidence, and it came out of Yu Hyun’s mouth.

“We can hire employees.”

“That’s easier said than done. Those skilled employees are very expensive.”

“I have a really good person in mind.”

“What? Are you serious?”

Bak Yeong-hun’s eyes widened, but Yu Hyun was calm.

“I’m serious. Let’s set up an office.”

“Where?”

“Here, on the second floor.”

Bak Yeong-hun, who was dragged by Yu Hyun without a break, put a brake on for a moment.

“Wait. This building?”

“Yeah. It’s vacant.”

“The landlord kicked them out. And he’s going to give it to us?”

“Then. We can buy the building.”

Bak Yeong-hun was shocked by Yu Hyun’s casual words.

“What? You’re really thinking of buying the building?”

“Honestly, I was thinking about it. But now I have to.”

He originally planned to meet the landlord once for investment purposes, and solve the problem related to the gym.

It was an area that would be developed greatly in the future, so he thought of buying it if the price was right.

But his mind changed after hearing Bak Yeong-hun’s troubles.

There was no reason to hesitate any more, considering the building information he learned from the investigation and the current situation.

Yu Hyun made a confident expression, and Bak Yeong-hun was dumbfounded.

“Hey, the building price is not cheap.”

“Real estate is also an asset. We can buy it in the name of the company. Then we can get more investment money.”

“Wow.”

Yu Hyun threw another punch at Bak Yeong-hun, who was speechless.

“You said it, right? There’s a time for investment. I think this is the time.”

“…”

“What’s there to hesitate? Let’s just do it. Even if the company goes bankrupt and we lose all the money.”

Yu Hyun was pushing him like this not only because of Na Do-ha.

It was the conclusion he made by trusting Bak Yeong-hun’s investment skills.

To be honest, he thought it would be fun.

Sip.

Bak Yeong-hun, who was drinking soy milk with a blank face, slowly opened his mouth.

“Then you should be a co-CEO too. Then I’ll do it.”

“You can decide that, but let’s think about buying the building first.”

“Wait a minute. What’s the name of the company?”

Bak Yeong-hun raised his palm to stop Yu Hyun, who was talking without hesitation.

He had a playful smile on his face.

“You can decide that too.”

“How about Double Y Invests? It’s from the first letters of Yeong-hun and Yoo-hyun.”

“Let’s go with Double Y. It’s cleaner.”

Bak Yeong-hun readily agreed to Yu Hyun’s suggestion.

“Cool.”

“Let’s start with cleaning up the office.”

“Kid, you’re in a hurry. Okay.”

It was the start from the moment Bak Yeong-hun agreed.

The two began to discuss the building acquisition in earnest.

“Let me tell you what I found out first…”

“There’s something you need to check more…”

Was it because of the meeting of Yu Hyun, who had a lot of negotiation experience, and Bak Yeong-hun, who was confident in money?

As soon as they started running for a common goal, they had a deep and diverse conversation.

The heat of the debate made the gym manager’s room hot.
