Real Man

Her love for Messenger With, beyond just an idea, was conveyed through her heart.

At that moment, Yoo-hyun recalled what Nadoha had said a while ago.

-Bomi is much better than those with a lot of development experience. I think it would be better to teach her programming instead.

He thought it was just an excuse for sending away the interviewees, but it seemed not.

Yoon Bomi had something different about her.

Yoo-hyun listened carefully to her words.

That’s when a lot of conversations piled up.

As Park Young-hoon and Nadoha came in, Yoon Bomi jumped up from her seat and greeted them loudly.

“Director, you’re here?”

“The company needs to have a system. Just a moment. I’ll bring you some coffee. Both of you want iced, right?”

Yoon Bomi quickly moved to the kitchen.

Park Young-hoon felt guilty and explained to Yoo-hyun.

“I didn’t tell her to make coffee. I’m not that kind of director.”

“I know, sit down. Doha too.”

“Hyung, when did you come?”

“A little while ago. But you look bad.”

Nadoha, who pulled out a chair and sat down, scratched his head.

“I’m worried about it. I wonder if we can’t hire anyone because of me today.”

“Don’t feel pressured. I’ll help you today.”

Yoo-hyun’s words were echoed by Park Young-hoon.

“That’s right. Yoo-hyun, you make a precise judgment. That will help Doha too.”

“Okay. The documents?”

“Just a moment.”

Yoo-hyun looked over the documents that Park Young-hoon handed over.

It was somewhat poor in content, so Park Young-hoon added an explanation.

“He’s a guy who made apps for a large portal company. He moved to a venture and made apps for a famous shopping mall and a bank. His experience and skills are solid. And his academic background…” 𝘳𝖆ＮꝊBƐṤ

As Park Young-hoon said, there was nothing to complain about his resume.

It was enough to be grateful that he came to see this small company for an interview.

Yoo-hyun imagined as he took in the documents.

What kind of person is he?

Why did he apply to Double Y?

What does he want to do here?

He tried his best to draw out as much as possible from the few clues.

His long interview experience and the skills he accumulated in the company helped him in this process.

Soon after, Yoo-hyun met the person he imagined in the director’s office.

His name was Shin Chang-hee, a veteran with 12 years of IT development experience.

As he saw in the picture, his eyes were slightly upturned and he had a sharp impression.

His voice was somewhat thin, but his tone was rough.

“As you know, there aren’t many people with my experience in this field.”

“Yes. You’ve done a lot of work.”

As Yoo-hyun agreed, Shin Chang-hee shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that there aren’t many skilled developers in Korea, so I got a lot of work. Of course, I suffered a lot because of it.”

“What was the most difficult part?”

“Actually, there are too many people who are only eager in this field. They want to do something that doesn’t make money without a system, and then they get blown away by the wind…”

Shin Chang-hee harshly spoke about what he felt while working in the domestic IT industry for a long time.

From this, he pointed out what he wanted from Double Y.

He also didn’t miss the demand for a stake as an initial member.

Since it was something that had been discussed with Park Young-hoon, Yoo-hyun nodded.

“If you deliver the results properly, it’s possible.”

“Of course, you have to give me full authority as Park Director promised. Work is not something that can be done recklessly.”

“What do you want to do at Double Y?”

“Of course, I have to make a proper mobile securities platform. There is no decent app in the market yet, so we have to produce a good product. As I have done so far.”

Shin Chang-hee showed a confident look.

He sounded like he was the best developer in the world.

There might be some exaggeration, but Yoo-hyun didn’t look down on his confidence.

He rather thought it was necessary, and he considered it acceptable.

But why did he feel so uneasy?

He thought he should hire this person, but his heart didn’t follow.

It was a strange feeling that he had never felt when he was an interviewer.

“Is that so? Then can I check your work a little?”

“How are you going to check?”

Yoo-hyun passed the baton to Nadoha for now.

“A simple Q&A. We have an expert on our side. Na Manager.”

“Yes, Director.”

As Nadoha answered, Shin Chang-hee laughed.

“Ha ha! This young kid? That’s funny.”

“He’s our core developer. Everything we’ve made so far came from his hands.”

“Really? The apps you sent me before the interview were his work too.”

“That’s right.”

“I see. It was free-spirited. Let’s try it.”

Shin Chang-hee gestured with a relaxed expression.

Just by looking at him, he could tell that he was confident in his skills.

Yoo-hyun glanced at Nadoha, who went straight in.

“You wrote that you mainly did backend development in Java…”

“That’s because I pulled data from the framework…”

Was it because Nadoha’s questions were deep?

Shin Chang-hee tried to overpower him with technical terms.

Nadoha also didn’t back down.

As the windows clashed, the atmosphere heated up.

Behind them, Park Young-hoon whispered to Yoo-hyun.

“How is it?”

“Not bad.”

“He’s really famous in this field. Look. Even Doha can’t beat him easily today.”

He didn’t know if he was doing it on purpose, but Nadoha’s attacks were blocked.

“Right.”

“But you don’t look happy? Is it because he’s a bit overbearing?”

“No. Why would I? He’s fine.”

Compared to Nadoha’s interview, Shin Chang-hee was almost perfect.

Even if he was arrogant, it didn’t matter.

It meant that he had experience and skills, and he had to acknowledge that.

“But why?”

“Hmm. I don’t feel drawn to it for some reason.”

“Hey, don’t say that in front of Do-ha. We barely got this opportunity, we can’t let it slip away.”

“I don’t intend to.”

Yoo-hyun understood Park Young-hoon’s concern.

He didn’t want to miss this chance for such an abstract reason.

But he couldn’t deny the fact that he felt uneasy.

It was strange, because there was nothing objectively lacking.

He was pondering for a moment, when Shin Chang-hee’s voice rose.

“I’m sure I explained the database access earlier, didn’t I?”

"The AWS cloud and database integration method is different from what you explained. It won’t work if we follow that. "

“What do you mean it won’t work? That’s the standard way. Everyone does it like that, why are you the only one who says it doesn’t work?”

“We should improve it if there is a better way. It’s more than twice as efficient, why do you stick to an unnecessary method?”

“Do you have more experience than me? You have to be humble in this field. You don’t know that, so you’re making an app like a messenger that no one knows where to use.”

When the messenger was mentioned in the heated confrontation, Do-ha’s face turned red.

He was angry because his app, which he poured his love into, was ignored.

“Stop it, you guys…”

As Park Young-hoon tried to intervene, Yoo-hyun grabbed his arm.

Then he shook his head and whispered.

“Just leave it for now.”

“Do-ha is temperamental, you know. Will he just let it go?”

“This is part of the process.”

“It’s not the first or second time.”

“That’s why, just let it be. Let’s see how far he goes.”

Yoo-hyun, who stopped Park Young-hoon, looked at Do-ha.

He had a very angry expression, but he didn’t lash out like he used to.

He seemed to be trying to suppress his anger, even if it was hard.

After a brief silence, Do-ha spoke with a strained voice.

“What exactly do you mean by saying that no one knows where to use it?”

“I admit that the concept is fresh. But does it make money?”

“People will come if it makes money.”

“You’re so naive because you have no experience. Well, I guess you had fun. But you can never survive in the market with something that only maniacs would like.”

“This is not something that only maniacs would like…”

As he listened to Do-ha’s rebuttal, Yoo-hyun remembered a scene.

It was the image of Yun Bo-mi, who was talking excitedly with an innocent expression.

-I’ve been hooked on With since before the interview. There are so many things that can be connected with it.

Was it because she was a maniac that she liked it?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

No. She wasn’t the only one who was special.

Park Young-hoon was amazed when he first saw With.

-This is innovation. Imagine connecting this with a mobile stock platform. It would be a huge hit if it supports automatic buying and selling for premium customers.

Yoo-hyun, who had experienced the future, was also surprised.

That meant that the messenger that Do-ha made had a special edge.

‘That’s right.’

Yoo-hyun finally realized why he felt uneasy about Shin Chang-hee.

If he had seen Do-ha’s app before the interview, he would have been excited, but he didn’t show any sign of that.

He even disparaged it for not making money.

He was blinded by prejudice, and he didn’t recognize the innovation in front of him.

Would it have been different if it was someone else who interviewed?

Considering that they were all people with good academic backgrounds and a lot of experience in the IT industry, it wouldn’t have been much different.

‘I see why Do-ha said he was worse than Bo-mi.’

Yoo-hyun chuckled and decided to change his mind.

This way wouldn’t work.

With that in mind, he intervened in the argument between the two.

“Mr. Shin, that’s enough.”

“Huh? Oh, yes, sir.”

As Yoo-hyun pulled back the furious Do-ha, Shin Chang-hee grumbled.

“This is going to take more work than I thought. The kid has skills, but he lacks experience, so he thinks the job is too easy. He can never succeed if he works like this without a system.”

“Thank you for your good feedback.”

“Huh! You’re even saying that because he’s so good.”

“Of course. Thanks to you, I learned a lot. I also gained some new insights.”

“Well, then it wasn’t a waste of time.”

It was far from a waste of time.

He was sure that people like Shin Chang-hee didn’t fit in with Double Y.

He didn’t need to show any negative signs.

Yoo-hyun smiled and wrapped up the interview.

He handed over a generous interview fee to Shin Chang-hee, who had come a long way.

That was a bonus.

After seeing off Shin Chang-hee.

Park Young-hoon, Do-ha, and Yoo-hyun gathered again in the CEO’s office.

Do-ha, who had a stiff expression, bowed his head.

“Hyung, I’m sorry. I got excited again for no reason.”

Yoo-hyun was about to answer, when Park Young-hoon waved his hand.

“It’s okay. I was annoyed too, listening to him.”

“Really? You were against it? You said you brought him here with difficulty.”

“I didn’t know he would ignore With like that. I wanted to accommodate him as much as possible, but he seemed like he wouldn’t do what I asked him to.”

“That’s a realistic reason. So you’re not going to hire him?”

Yoo-hyun asked jokingly, and Park Young-hoon looked incredulous.

“Did I not hire him? You stopped the interview because you didn’t like him.”

“You can’t fool the CEO’s eyes.”

“Stop talking nonsense, and what are you going to do now? You don’t seem to be able to hire people easily either.”

Yoo-hyun admitted it right away, since it was true.

“True. I don’t think this way will work.”

“What way?”

“You stepping up and bringing in people from the IT industry.”

“You told me to bring in people with experience and proven skills. That’s the only way to match Do-ha’s level.”

“I did. But I think that was my mistake.”

Yoo-hyun thought that he needed verified people to match Do-ha.
