Real Man-Chapter 787

Chapter 787

After meeting with Yoo-hyun, Jeong Da-hye also met with Lee Ji Hyun.

She spoke to her in the lounge on the first floor.

“Ji Hyun, you must have had a hard time.”

“...”

“I think everyone has a pain they want to hide.”

“Not you, President. You’re always perfect and...”

“No. I’m not a great person like you think, Ji Hyun. I’m rather a person who is afraid of showing my weak side and hides it tightly.”

“No way. You never look like that.”

Lee Ji Hyun waved her hand, and Jeong Da-hye glanced behind her.

Her father, whom she wanted to avoid and hesitated to contact, was training the A1 employees.

Jeong Da-hye shook her head.

“No. I’m a coward. But I changed my mind a little after seeing you, Ji Hyun.”

“What did I do?”

“Ji Hyun, let’s overcome this together.”

Squeeze.

Jeong Da-hye held Lee Ji Hyun’s hand on the table with both hands.

“Let’s grow together, me, you, and Reverb. Let’s do that, we.”

“...”

There was a glint in Lee Ji Hyun’s trembling eyes.

That evening.

Lee Ji Hyun, who came home, held her mother’s hand, which looked thin.

“Mom.”

“Why, Ji Hyun. What happened at work?”

“Yes. Something happened.”

“What? Did you...”

Looking at her mother, who was worried that her daughter might have been hurt outside again, Lee Ji Hyun shook her head.

“No, it’s not that.”

“Then?”

Wham.

Lee Ji Hyun hugged her mother and showed her strong will for the first time.

“Mom, I really like our company. So I’m going to do it right from now on.”

“Yes, Ji Hyun. You can do it. You can do it. My pretty daughter.”

Her mother’s lips, which stroked her daughter’s back, had a brighter smile than ever.

A month passed from then.

At the point when the year changed and winter was ending, some good news came.

Reverb grew rapidly enough to be an internet service similar to Auction and YouTube in Korea.

It was an amazing figure for the results achieved in a short period of time.

Why was this possible?

First, Yoo-hyun’s counterattack against Yurim Fashion’s media play was effective.

Unlike Yurim Fashion, which was a simple shopping mall, Reverb was an expandable service with a well-made mobile app, a stable revenue distribution system, and reliable reviews in various categories.

As the media war became more intense, it became a publicity and people flocked to Reverb.

There was also an explosive response to the fashion review.

Swish.

Yoo-hyun, who was sitting on the sofa in the president’s office, handed the newspaper to Na Do-ha, who was facing him.

“Do Ha, you’ve worked really hard.”

“What are you talking about? We all did it together. And Ji Hyun’s idea was really good.”

“You implemented it, though.”

“Well, yes, but if Ji Hyun hadn’t pointed out the details, it would have been hard to speed up.”

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and recalled what happened a month ago.

-President, I think we need to change the fashion review format to suit the mobile app.

After breaking away from Yurim Fashion completely, Lee Ji Hyun spoke up actively.

She didn’t just go along with Jeong Da-hye’s opinion, but suggested a new format of idea and made a detailed plan to concretize it. She even led the meeting with Double Y.

That’s how the photo format review optimized for the mobile app was born.

It wasn’t like a blog with long texts and photos in between, but like an SNS that showed photos mainly, and added a function to tag inside the photos.

The style description and price information on the clothes in the photo were intuitively visible, attracting people’s attention.

Lee Ji Hyun didn’t stop there and made the lowest price purchase button automatically linked, so that one touch led to purchase.

As a result, the sales of the products posted on the fashion review increased sharply, and the companies encouraged them to post reviews of their products on Reverb.

It was a virtuous cycle structure that incorporated a new purchasing method.

Yoo-hyun, who was caught in a moment of thought, was asked by Na Do-ha.

“Brother, did you see the With Hot Issue bot?”

“Hot Issue bot?”

“Yes. It shows you what’s been shared a lot on SNS, and Ji Hyun’s Instagram post is up there. Take a look.”

Swish.

Yoo-hyun looked at the phone that Na Do-ha handed him.

There was Lee Ji Hyun’s post that he had already seen.

-Patriotic companies that took the lead in protecting Dokdo.

#LJ Trade #Patriotic company #Dokdo

The content neatly organized in a card news format and the word patriotic company touched people’s emotions.

Moreover, the writer was Flora, a power influencer on Instagram.

This post was shared on various SNS and communities, and LJ Trade, which had donated a lot to Dokdo, received a great benefit.

As LJ Trade became more prominent, Yurim Fashion, which had imported clothes from Japanese war criminal companies, was criticized.

With this positive atmosphere and the publicity effect of Reverb fashion review, LJ Trade’s sales increased significantly.

Thanks to that, they became the top of the industry in one breath.

It was a great achievement considering the gap with Yurim Fashion.

“I saw it before. The comments have increased a lot since then.”

When Yoo-hyun returned the phone, Na Do-ha was curious.

“That means the reaction is good. Brother, what happened to Yurim Fashion?”

“Why them?”

“They failed to follow Reverb, right? I would have been really angry if I were their president.”

As Yoo-hyun expected, Yurim Fashion’s review system, which followed Reverb, failed.

They underestimated Reverb’s system and rushed in hastily, and they got a lot of complaints from the users due to the online system instability and the fairness issue of the revenue distribution. They collapsed on their own.

The damage caused by this spread to the entire online store, and they suffered a big blow to their sales.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head, recalling the whole process.

“Probably.”

Yoo-hyun remembered that the CEO of Yurim Fashion was a person who had a lot of anger.

He must have been even more angry with LJ Trade.

At that moment, in the main office of Yurim Fashion.

The main manager, who returned after reporting to the CEO, was furious.

“Who came up with this plan? Why did they do such a useless thing?”

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

Kim Mikyung, the team leader, and Ahn Seohee, the MD, trembled in front of the furious head of the department, but his anger did not subside.

“LJ, who didn’t invest a single penny, increased their sales by 100 percent. But what about us? We wasted money on useless things and lost our existing online customers!”

“We will correct it.”

“Don’t correct it, just make a contract with Reverb or whatever it is! Don’t make any more trouble and just follow their lead!”

The head of the department shouted like fire, and Kim Mikyung mumbled.

“That’s, well...”

“What? You can’t do that either?”

“We made an offer, but Reverb rejected it. We are looking for another way...”

“Are you kidding me? If you can’t, beg them or do whatever it takes! Right now!”

“Ah, okay.”

Kim Mikyung and Ahn Seohee were chased out of the head of the department’s office.

Their faces were pale.

A few days later.

Kim Mikyung and Ahn Seohee entered the Reverb office.

They looked around and were bewildered by the changed office scene.

The office space, which had been modest, was now so large that it took up half of the 20th floor.

Buzzing.

The number of employees had also increased significantly.

While the two were flustered, a young employee who guided them bowed to a woman who was walking towards them.

“Team leader, I brought the guests.”

“Thank you. You did a good job.”

The woman in a neat outfit greeted them with a haughty expression.

“Hello. I’m Lee Ji-hyun, the team leader.”

“T-team leader?”

Ahn Seohee blinked her eyes, and Lee Ji-hyun smiled slightly and gestured.

“Please follow me. I’ll take you to the conference room.”

“...”

Click clack.

Lee Ji-hyun walked confidently, leaving the two behind.

Inside the conference room, which had a spacious and luxurious atmosphere.

Yoo-hyun, who joined late, faced Kim Mikyung and Ahn Seohee.

Next to him were Jeong Da-hye and Lee Ji-hyun.

In a serious atmosphere, Ahn Seohee stood next to the large screen for the presentation.

Unlike the last meeting, this time it was Yurim Fashion who asked for their favor.

“Mr. Han, what Yurim Fashion proposes to Reverb is...”

Was it because they had already been rejected once?

Ahn Seohee, who was in charge of the presentation, looked very tense.

She kept looking around, and Yoo-hyun raised his hand.

“Excuse me.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Not me, but please tell Lee Ji-hyun, the team leader. She is the person in charge of fashion reviews.”

Lee Ji-hyun, who received Yoo-hyun’s gesture, spoke bluntly.

“Ms. Seohee, skip the lengthy explanation and just tell me the conditions again.”

“What? Oh, yes. Okay...”

Ahn Seohee, who was momentarily confused, dropped the presenter.

Thud.

“M-my hand slipped. I’ll start the presentation again.”

Ahn Seohee quickly picked it up, and her face turned red.

Yoo-hyun smiled at Lee Ji-hyun, who was calm in the meantime.

‘The results of the practice are now natural.’

A month ago, Lee Ji-hyun, who changed her mind and actively suggested ideas, tried to overcome her lack of interpersonal skills.

-I want to show a more confident appearance in front of people, but I don’t know how to manage my expressions. Please help me.

Reaching out to her colleagues was the start of the change.

Everyone helped her in their own way, but Jang Man-bok was the most realistic.

He argued that ‘interpersonal relationships are also part of acting’ and taught Lee Ji-hyun how to act.

He carefully guided her on how to adjust her eyes, expressions, and gestures according to the situation, and deliberately created situations where she faced strangers to practice in real life.

-Ms. Ji-hyun, do you think it’s easy for people to change? So think of it as acting. Then it will be easier.

Jang Man-bok, who always laughed bitterly, was very delicate and serious when it came to acting.

It was annoying, but Lee Ji-hyun gritted her teeth and endured it, and the results began to show little by little.

When the new employees first came in, she was awkward, but since she became the team leader, she didn’t hesitate to stand in front of people.

She even reached the point where she didn’t blink an eye in front of the enemy who gave her a trauma in the past.

Lee Ji-hyun, who was listening to the presentation, drew a line.

“Ms. Seohee, we can’t work with you with that kind of offer.”

“What? You removed the condition of excluding competitors and the review censorship part. Why do you say it’s not possible?”

Ahn Seohee flared up, and Lee Ji-hyun nodded at Yoo-hyun and Jeong Da-hye, then spoke coldly.

“That’s obvious. You have to at least match the level of LJ Trade.”

“What do you mean...”

“LJ Trade has a Reverb link on their own shopping mall. And there is also a phrase that encourages reviews on Reverb. Don’t tell me you didn’t even check that.”

It was a statement that Yurim Fashion, who was pushed by LJ Trade, had to admit defeat.

Ahn Seohee couldn’t hide her excitement, thinking it was a humiliating request.

“Ms. Ji-hyun, no matter what...”

Suddenly, Kim Mikyung snapped at Ahn Seohee.

“Ms. Seohee! How dare you act so rudely!”

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

Then she bowed to Lee Ji-hyun.

She knew how to read the atmosphere, unlike someone who came to the team leader position for nothing.

“Team leader Lee, I apologize on her behalf. And we will follow the LJ Trade conditions as you said.”

“Thank you. We will discuss the details with the person in charge.”

“If you are uncomfortable, we will change the person in charge.”

“No. I’ll do it with Ms. Seohee. I think we’ll get along well.”

Lee Ji-hyun smiled, and Ahn Seohee’s eyes shook violently.
