Episode 29

Cheon Si-eun’s appearance was reminiscent of a horror movie.

Jang Man-cheol said, swallowing hard.

“It was meant as a kind of warning… … that if you continued to act like that, you might be completely buried in this world. You also really wanted to do that piece back then.”

“Isn’t that still the case? I really want to do that project. The script is really good, and I think I can properly establish my image as the lead actor through this opportunity. You said that, oppa, you’ll definitely succeed, so don’t worry about anything. Don’t worry about anything and just take care of yourself. Right?”

“Yeah, that’s true, but… … .”

“But what kind of situation is this? Aren’t you trying to make me look like shit? Rumors will spread that I got trampled by a rookie and got slammed by the broadcasting station. Is that what you wanted? You’re trying to force me to take a break and practice my acting more. Right? Is that right?”

Jang Man-cheol jumped at those words.

“How could that be! I came running all this way just for you. You are like my alter ego! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even thought about becoming independent like this! How can you say something like that when you know everything?”

“Well? I used to believe that, but now I can’t trust that. I guess I’ll have to think carefully about it the next time I renew my contract. I’m thinking of looking for an agency that will take better care of me and prevent me from experiencing such humiliating things.”

Jang Min-cheol’s heart sank at the mention of contract renewal.

Jang Man-cheol has not hesitated to do anything to bring Cheon Si-eun to this position.

But, the effort and time put in so far cannot be denied for something like this.

Jang Man-cheol looked at Cheon Si-eun with a completely different look in his eyes.

“Just trust me and wait a little longer. I’ll somehow turn this situation around. Do you think I could just sit back and do nothing after being humiliated like this? Even if you don’t say anything, I’ve already taken all the measures.”

“Action? What action?”

“It’s strange, how a nobody with no background suddenly appeared and rose to stardom in no time. He didn’t have an agency, and his family wasn’t wealthy, and he didn’t even seem to have been in a theater company for that long. And then he suddenly got a big company commercial and that advertiser paid the entire cost of the drama production? Is that realistic?”

“I heard that the manager there is quite capable. Isn’t that because he lobbied here and there?”

“That’s ridiculous. He’s a nobody. He’s not a manager, he’s just someone who goes around with him. He drives him around and buys him food and stuff. How can someone like that lobby advertisers? In the first place, there’s no way a telecommunications company CEO would meet someone like that.”

There were a few things he heard, but Jang Man-cheol turned a deaf ear.

This is because he is a person who does not believe the rumors floating around in this world and is very stubborn about his own opinions.

That is, making judgments based only on what you have seen, heard, and experienced.

In this case too, the answer had already been decided and the action was underway.

“So, what are you trying to say? What measures have you taken?”

“Just wait a moment. The answer will come soon.”

A few minutes after those words, Jang Man-cheol’s cell phone started ringing.

Jang Man-cheol, who confirmed the caller, immediately connected the call.

“Oh, it’s me. Did you find out what I asked you to find out?”

-Yes, bro. I searched all over Gangnam to find out about this. The cost of the project is higher than I thought, so I think you should pay more than what I initially said.

“This kid. When have I ever taken care of you in a disappointing way? If you do a good job, you should naturally pay the price. Stop talking nonsense and tell me the results right away. Has anyone seen that girl?”

In response to Jang Man-cheol’s question, his detective brother, who had been asked to run an errand, answered with force in his voice.

– Yes. It was just as my brother said. Since the kid was half and half, I don’t think he was the type to work there, but he remembered someone clearly. He recorded everything and came out with a hefty reward. How about I send you the file right away?

Jang Man-cheol clenched his fist after receiving the other party’s report.

As expected, this floor never goes off the rails.

If you suspect something, it will definitely be true, and the scenario you draw in your head will always come true.

This time it’s the same.

Jang Man-cheol spoke into the receiver with a bitter smile, thinking that everything was over.

“Oh, attach it to a message and send it right now. And as soon as I hang up the phone, I’ll put some voice modulation on it and send another one. Do you know what I mean?”

-Kuuuuu. Yes, I understand. You mean to spread it to the reporters as usual?

“We can’t just give this number to reporters. Most people don’t read articles. These days, YouTube is the trend, right?”

-Are you going to upload it to YouTube? Where?

“There’s a really crappy collection of stuff that only deals with this kind of stuff. If you throw it on that channel, they’ll say it’s really good. The reporters will see it and spread it around, haha.”

-As expected of you, brother! Then I will do as you say. I will send it to you right now.

“okay.”

Jang Man-cheol takes a leisurely breath after hanging up the phone.

He smiled and raised the corners of his lips at Cheon Si-eun, who was staring at him, asking what he was talking about.

“I think you owe me an apology for the contract renewal thing earlier, Si-eun. As always, I never disappoint you.”

“What are you talking about? What was that phone call just now? What are you going to give to the reporters?”

“Bait. It’s a huge bait that you can’t help but bite. You just watch. Sooner or later, the broadcasting station will come calling and beg for more.”

Jang Man-cheol added again while looking at the recorded file sent by the detective agency employee.

“Please redo this piece, tell them it was all their fault.”

At the same time, Hee-sung and Ye-seul Kim, who had just left the drama department, were walking through the MBS lobby.

As the production company PD was also present, the contract was signed very quickly, and now he has truly been confirmed as the lead actor.

Kim Ye-seul, who came out of the building instead of going straight to the parking lot, said while taking Hee-seong’s arm.

“Manager, I’ll buy you a meal today! To celebrate our contract, I’ll buy you something really, really delicious!”

“Suddenly?”

“Hey, all of a sudden? I’ve always wanted to buy you something. I’ve never done anything for you, but you always give me things. And all of that is with your own money. Now that I’ve started earning real money, I want to repay you first.”

Heeseong said with a smile.

“That’s right. Each advertisement and drama brought in a huge amount of money, right? It was much more than the money I had earned and saved up until this day. That’s why everyone thinks of celebrities as celebrities.”

“Hey, where is all that money? Have you forgotten the terms of our contract? We will strictly pay in advance and distribute as much as we earn! If I earn a lot, you earn as much too. Until we both become rich!”

Kim Ye-seul said, pointing with her finger beyond the large statue.

“I’ve already found a good restaurant. It’s a Chinese restaurant with private rooms, so the atmosphere is really fancy. Let’s go and have a course meal, a course meal.”

“In a place like that, the prices seem to be quite expensive. Is that okay?”

“Hey, I checked, but I guess you don’t know the price range? It’s our first contract anniversary, so I should treat you to something fancy! Let’s go quickly. I was so nervous during the meeting earlier that my stomach was growling. Hurry up, hurry up.”

Kim Ye-seul, who was holding Hee-sung’s arm, was urging him to walk with an excited look on her face.

There were occasional glances recognizing her, but not to a great extent yet.

The two people who were stopped at the traffic light and chatting about this and that thought that it was a good idea to walk rather than drive because the weather was nice.

at that time.

“Mr. Heesung!”

Suddenly, a black van stopped in front of the two, its window opened, and a startling face appeared.

After calling out to Heeseong, she immediately waved her arms vigorously to Kim Ye-seul, who was standing next to her.

“Yesul, how have you been? You’ve gotten prettier since I last saw you. You seem to have lost a lot of weight, too!”

“Huh? Sister! Where are you going? Wow, I didn’t expect to see you here like this!”

“Haha, that’s right. I’m on my way to eat with the CEO. How about you two? Have you eaten, Heesung?”

The two of them nodded slightly as they were on their way to eat.

“No, we were just going to get some food. Over there, across the street.”

“Across the street? Is there a good place to eat?”

At that moment, seeing that there wasn’t much time left on the traffic light, Kang Se-ra opened the back seat door wide and spoke to the two people.

“Would you like to go out for a ride? It’s nice to meet you like this, so let’s eat together and say hello to our CEO.”

At that moment, a man poked his head out through the wide open door.

He was Jeong Won-ho, the CEO of Kang Se-ra’s agency.

“Okay. Let’s eat together.”

***

The four people who met by chance went to a Chinese restaurant recommended by Kim Ye-seul for a meal.

This is because a place with a separate room would be more comfortable for them than an open space.

Kang Se-ra smiled as she looked at the food spread out on the turntable.

“Yesul, isn’t this too much? I’ll buy it today, so you buy it next time. We suddenly got involved, so the size has gotten too big.”

“Hey, no, sis. You helped me out last time, and because of that, I was able to do well in the audition, so of course I should repay you. Rather, I think it was a good thing that we met by chance. Hehe.”

“But don’t you think it’s too much?”

Jeong Won-ho waved his hand to Kang Se-ra, who was worried, and told her to leave him alone.

“Let it be. It’s a nice day. At times like this, you should let out your feelings and do whatever you want. I’ll eat well, Yesul.”

“Oh, yes, sir! Enjoy your meal!”

Although it was a long time ago, Kang Se-ra must have had a time like that, so she picked up her spoon with a happy heart.

While they were continuing their meal, Kang Se-ra suddenly remembered something and looked back and forth between CEO Jeong Won-ho and Hee-sung.

“Oh, that’s right! The CEO said he wanted to meet Heesung once? He said he had something he wanted to ask you about this matter.”

At those words, the two people’s eyes met.
