After the weekly meeting, Youngjun Choi waited for guests in his office.
48th floor.
It was the top floor, excluding the rooftop.
He didn’t like this top floor, which was physically above everyone’s heads and symbolically represented the highest position.
Since becoming president, with the exception of a few, there have been fewer people who share their honest feelings.
Choi Youngjun tried not to change, but the people around him changed too easily.
‘It’s a high and lonely place. ‘How much longer will my father’s position be?’
Looking at myself reflected in the window, I forced the corners of my mouth to droop slightly, practicing a confident expression.
You should never show Jo Yoon-jeong a discouraged look.
If he feels he has the slightest advantage, he will definitely try to win.
Jo Yoon-jeong had value only as a person who worked under him.
When Park Jun-hyung said he would bring Jo Yoon-jeong into this direction, I was actually skeptical.
To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations.
‘Anyway, I never expected things to progress this quickly. And it’s surprising that Park Jun-hyung and Kim Cheol-soo moved together. When did we become so close? No, did we join hands strategically?’
How long were you looking out the window?
-smart.
“president. “A guest has arrived.”
The secretary knocked on the door and spoke quietly.
“Ask them to come in.”
“Yes, boss.”
– Ttogak ttogak.
Jo Yoon-jeong, wearing high heels and stylish clothes, came in with a confident expression.
“hi. See you again soon?”
“I know. “Sit over there.”
“I won’t call you boss yet. “Because I wasn’t officially hired.”
“I heard you were suspended?”
“Yesterday, I handed in my resignation to the secretary in the office of the President of Hanyoung Electronics and took out all my belongings. “Now I’m unemployed.”
“Gyeongjun will be angry?”
“What if we split up anyway? “What do I know if I get angry or not?”
“coffee?”
“no. Um… orange juice?”
Choi Young-jun called his secretary and asked for orange juice, then looked at Jo Yoon-jeong and asked.
“What about your maternal grandfather?”
“Well, you know? You were furious. But what should I do? “I’m not going to answer the phone for a while.”
“Don’t you hate coming here?”
“At best, the only thing I can do is ask them to leave the officetel I’m currently staying in. Then you can rent a house and stay somewhere else.”
“Well, I live comfortably.”
“That’s what they’re trying to look like. “I’m trying.”
Even though he was a bit of an uncomfortable person to meet since he was young, Choi Young-jun was not that wary of him because he was the kind of person who would easily reveal his true feelings.
“Can you really solve the smartphone project?”
“Do you guys have a solution? Manager Kim Cheol-soo, he got about half of it right.”
“huh? “Did you?”
Choi Young-jun tilted his head when Jo Yoon-jeong said that Kim Cheol-soo knew half of it, and Jo Yoon-jeong answered by shaking her head slightly.
“Other than Manager Kim, no one knows. Manager Kim either pretended not to know, or found out while talking to me. Well, it doesn’t matter. “It’s a bit difficult, but I already have the answer.”
The secretary brought refreshments, and Jo Yoon-jeong quenched her thirst with orange juice.
“Let’s briefly listen to the story.”
“okay. You see, there are no low-power CPUs out there right now that can run such a small phone.”
“hmm. “Are you saying we have to make it?”
“yes. To do that, we need to gather some people.”
“Is there someone else I need to gather?”
“then.”
“If they come together, will they definitely achieve results?”
“I’m not sure because we haven’t worked together yet, but we need to coordinate things. “That’s what I’m good at.”
Jo Yoon-jeong spoke with a confident voice, and Choi Young-jun continued the conversation with her, conscious of his voice and facial expressions every second.
While talking for a while, Jo Yoon-jeong suddenly burst into laughter.
“This is really unexpected. Where on earth did Yeongjun, who was silent, quiet, and always resentful, go? The person has completely changed? Maternal grandfather…”
Jo Yoon-jeong then tried to talk about Jo Young-hwan but stopped.
This was because I did not know how the situation would change in the future.
Although it is highly unlikely, Cho Young-hwan could reach out to Choi Young-jun.
‘Keep it a secret for now.’
“After starting a family, I calmed down a bit.”
“It’s all thanks to Eugene. Well, you won’t be able to change on your own. Anyway, it’s nice to see. So what do you plan to do now?”
Youngjun Choi didn’t worry much.
“come here. “The position of planning director is vacant.”
“Director of planning?”
“Yesterday, the planning director moved to the Hanyoung Electronics planning office.”
Jo Yoon-jeong, who was staring intently at Choi Young-jun, burst out laughing.
“ha ha ha. Do you smell something? It stinks too. “I thought he was a softie, but he wasn’t.”

When asked to come to the position of planning director, Jo Yoon-jeong did not respond.
Rather, Choi Young-jun also grinned, remembering that he had changed the topic once.
“There is no way Sundung would get involved in the succession battle in such an unfavorable situation, right?”
“You’ve grown a lot, Youngjun Choi.”
“Do you want to go to the emergency management team of SKY Teletech instead of the head of the planning office?”
Jo Yoon-jeong said, looking at Choi Young-jun with a slightly surprised look.
“Hey, you’ve become more perceptive, haven’t you?”
Choi Young-jun recalled Kim Cheol-soo’s instructions.
– Perhaps Managing Director Cho Yoon-jeong would like to come to SKY Teletech. When I talked to him, he seemed like a field commander who liked leading from the front.
“I’ll appoint you as team leader there.”
“Hahaha, good. “Then can I go to work starting tomorrow?”
“Don’t you think we need more time?”
Jo Yoon-jeong burst into laughter again and poured out the remaining orange juice in one mouthful.
“Where is the time to rest? “I don’t know who will make this first!”
“There are still personnel procedures left, so take a two-day break and then go to work. “You’re not officially employed, so don’t go and cause trouble starting tomorrow.”
**
“Nice to meet you. Director Park.”
“Nice to meet you. president!”
Seeing Park Jun-hyung’s bright appearance, Choi Gyeong-jun smiled and shook his hand.
“I heard it from Executive Director Jang. “If it weren’t for Managing Director Park this time, Jo Yoon-jeong, she would have become that bitch’s scarecrow.”
“I was also so shocked that I quickly reported it.”
“okay. Moreover, there were a lot of complaints from employees because the company had to go through a lot of trouble, but now it seems like things are back to normal. “You did a pretty good job at Hanyoung Trading Company.”
“That’s too much praise. Would you have done as well as President Choi or Executive Director Jang?”
Executive Director Jang, who was next to him, openly smiled as Park Jun-hyung praised him.
“Haha, people are really nice. “You worked in the planning office at Hanyoung Corporation?”
“yes. president.”
“At the moment, there’s an empty space in the planning department, so you can do it well, right?”
“I will sacrifice my life to work.”
“I wish I could do as much as Director Chu.”
Park Jun-hyung felt bad after being compared to Choo Seong-tae, who left after greatly damaging the group’s image, but he never showed it on his face.
“I will do better than Director Chu.”
“ha ha ha! Good good.”
Choi Kyung-jun burst into laughter and tapped Park Jun-hyung on the shoulder.
“I heard that Youngjun had a huge fight with that guy during the meeting? “I heard that your relationship wasn’t good even when Yoo Ji-hoon was president?”
Park Jun-hyung shook his head slightly.
“It doesn’t seem like a good match at all.”
“yes! Compatibility, that’s really important. Would you like to have a drink today? Do you want to check whether Director Park and I are compatible or not?”
“How could I refuse!”
Executive Director Jang, who was next to him, also smiled and said.
“This guy drinks a little. He doesn’t get drunk easily and has a good sense of humor. “You can’t compare to Director Chu, who becomes hell when he drinks even a little.”
“Ohh! I’m looking forward to it since Executive Director Jang praises it so much. Go right away. “I need to drink it now to get in the right mood, right?”
Choi Gyeong-jun got up and took his suit jacket, and Park Jun-hyung sighed as he looked at the sun in the sky through the window.
‘Wow, it’s been a while since I drank during work hours.’
**
Jo Yoon-jeong was appointed to Hanyoung General Trading Company, and Park Joon-hyung was appointed to Hanyoung Electronics.
There were some rumors floating around the company, but they soon quieted down.
Since Jo Yoon-jeong took the position of managing director and immediately went to head the emergency management team at SKY Teletech, there was nothing much to say at the Korea-English general trading company, and Park Joon-hyung had Choi Kyeong-jun on his back and showed outstanding performance in many positions.
Two weeks passed like that.
Jo Yun-jeong quietly watched the situation unfold with self-respect, not showing off as before, as if she felt something.
And the second week of May, Monday.
Jo Yoon-jeong gathered the emergency management team in the conference room.
Jun-hak Lee, Hae-seong Park, Cheol-soo Kim, and Park Dong-gyu.
There were only four people, but after watching them for two weeks, they were all doing more than their share.
Lee Jun-hak established good relationships with several team leaders and executives at SKY Teletech, which enabled smooth work cooperation.
Hae-seong Park had a very good understanding of the situation and was also trusted by SKY Teletek management.
Employee Park Dong-gyu was carrying out the hard work of the emergency management team without a single complaint.
‘It’s Manager Kim, there’s nothing to argue with.’
Above all, I liked that none of the four of us were too concerned about work time.
Although their numbers were small, they were elite members.
Since the emergency management team was not a place where actual work was done, as the number of people increased, there would be conflicts of opinion and the work would only slow down.
Other than the fact that CEO Lee Jang-hoon looked at him with annoyance, he was satisfied with everything.
‘Is there only time left to run now?’
Jo Yoon-jeong stood at the podium in front of the conference room.
Then, he glanced at the project screen and brought the microphone closer to his mouth.
“ruler! “I think the time has come to solve the fundamental challenges of smartphones.”
There’s a lot at stake here.
“To solve this challenge, we need three things. First, a low-power CPU schematic, second, a good CPU designer, and finally, the best CPU process designer.”
The low-power CPU blueprint is already in possession of a company called ARM.
Jo Yoon-jeong used this low-power CPU blueprint and mentioned a person named Jim Keller as the person who would be in charge of designing the new CPU.
And they pointed to IBM as the company that would manufacture the CPU they designed.
“No matter what happens, we must attack these three points.”
Jo Yoon-jeong spoke with almost certainty.
“So, the idea is not to find a low-power CPU, but to create a new one. “The time it takes is also a problem, but will it be successful?”
Park Hae-seong asked a question, and Jo Yoon-jeong shook her head.
“There is no room or time to worry. Please think about what you can do during that time. “Our competitors may have already started making them.”
“But if it really fails, shouldn’t there be an alternative?”
Jo Yoon-jeong stared at Park Hae-seong quietly and then opened her mouth.
“I see. From what I found out, Samsung Semiconductor is already working on a low-power CPU development project under the name Exynos. “In a factory in the United States.”
She did not take her eyes off Park Hae-seong.
“Also, a company called ARM is a RISC CPU company that Apple invested in. If Samsung is already making it, there is a chance that Apple is also interested. Therefore, alternatives are not very important.”
Jo Yun-jeong turned and continued speaking while pointing to the project screen.
“We are standing at a crossroads between whether we can make it to the next page of history or not. This is not a discussion about whether to develop a smartphone or not. “If we can’t develop a CPU, we can just use the CPU they developed in the future.”
“···.”
“But you will lose all initiative. “It was planned in a pioneering way, but in the end, it will remain as a company that makes ordinary mobile phones.”
Jo Yoon-jeong saw Park Hae-seong again.
“I didn’t come here to build that kind of company. They want the world to pay attention to this small company in the East. “I will decline to ask similar questions in the future.”
This time, Lee Jun-hak asked a question.
“The explanation feels a little vague. “If you want to attack them, you will need to narrow the scope and select a target.”
“That’s a very aggressive question. “I love questions like that.”
Jo Yoon-jeong turned the next page.
The face of a handsome American man appeared.
“James Reese. I am 39 years old this year. He is a senior development researcher at the American ARM company. “He’s my ex-husband.”
At those words, everyone looked at Jo Yoon-jeong with a shocked expression.
“I don’t want to reveal my personal life. “It’s work-related…”
After a brief pause, she opened her mouth.
“During the divorce process, we hurt each other quite a bit. “You probably still have bad feelings towards me.”
Lee Jun-hak sighed and answered.
“It must be difficult.”
“of course. “I can’t come forward myself, so someone here has to meet this person and convince him.”
“Is there anyone else?”
“Currently, among the designers at ARM, there is no one more skilled than him. “I can absolutely guarantee that.”
Jo Yoon-jeong seemed not to want to look at the face on the screen for too long, so she quickly turned to the next page.
“ruler! Next, as I explained earlier, is a man named Jim Keller. He is the person who really kicked the ass of Intel, the world’s best CPU company. Now I quit AMD and am working at PA Semiconductor in Silicon Valley. “He’s working on high-speed network-related CPU development.”
Jo Yoon-jeong cleared her throat and opened her mouth again.
“There is also information that Apple is making a bid to recruit this person.”
Park Hae-seong and Lee Jun-hak burst into laughter.
“I don’t think the game will work…”
“Still, you have to catch it no matter what. If I had been able to take on this project sooner, it would have been easier, but that’s in the past. From now on, don’t say no out of your mouth. finally.”
The face of an Asian woman appeared on the screen.
“My name is Lisa Su, and I am a senior researcher in semiconductor process and CPU development at IBM. “If the two people mentioned earlier design the CPU, this person will build it.”
Jo Yoon-jeong grinned.
“The project they are currently working on is almost finished, so they will join hands with us next time. I’ll leave this matter to you. “Please decide who will take care of the rest and share it with us.”
