Genius Manager Who Hears Voices - Chapter 94

Episode 94

The surrounding noise suddenly disappears and you feel as if you are submerged in water.

For Heesung, this was a phenomenon that could not help but make him feel a great sense of awkwardness.

Because this is what happens when you hear the voice of the future.

At the same time, my heart started beating faster.

I thought it was a skill I had lost after experiencing it in the US a few months ago.

‘What are you trying to tell me all of a sudden at this timing… …?’

I had a feeling that the fact that he appeared at this timing wasn’t simply related to Kim Ji-yu.

If that were the case, it would have ended with counseling, but based on my experience so far, the voice has always told me something more complex and bigger.

At that moment, the voices of strangers were heard.

[I’ve been working as an entertainment reporter for 20 years, but this is the first time I’ve seen something like this. No, is it really going to get this big?]

[Whew, that’s right. Right now, the whole country is in chaos because of this. People from each country are fighting over who will kill who over some kind of competition show. There’s even talk of World War 4 on the Internet.]

Competition? World War 4?

Heeseong couldn’t help but feel puzzled by the two words that didn’t match at all.

At this point in time, the only program that comes to mind that has the word competition in it is that one program.

[These days, you could say that fighting on the Internet is the real war. It’s not that it isn’t, but because of anti-Chinese and anti-Korean sentiments, the economy is taking a huge hit due to the boycott. It must be so bad that even politicians are getting involved.]

[That makes sense, the two countries started out as collaborators on a variety show and ended up becoming bitter enemies. If this doesn’t end well soon, a real 4th world war could break out.]

[But then, isn’t that putting us at an absolute disadvantage? First of all, they committed assault without any concrete evidence that it was our idea. And because of that, the PD in charge is about to be imprisoned.]

[Yes, PD Hong Min-joong. The Chinese person in charge on the other side just so happens to be the son of a Communist Party leader. He is said to be a very powerful person in that country. Even if it is our court, they can’t not give him a prison sentence after beating him up like that.]

I couldn’t understand what this was talking about.

Even if we put the above stories aside, it’s surprising that Hong Min-joong PD is about to be imprisoned.

And that too for assaulting a Chinese person.

As he was talking with Kim Ji-yu about the program, Hee-sung’s feelings couldn’t help but become more serious.

[Let’s just do our own thing. No matter how much we hear criticism, shouldn’t we show our patriotism at times like this?]

[Yes, of course, Chief. I think it would be a good idea to start with a timeline. In order to get at least one more person interested in this kind of thing, we should report on it by organizing the incident from the beginning to the progress. Of course, the assault was wrong, but there was a reason why Hong Min-joong PD had no choice.]

[Yes, he was already plagiarized once when he was at MBS, so this time he tried to do a simultaneous broadcast, but he ended up getting stabbed in the back again. The public needs to know that so they can fully understand this incident.]

[Yes, they say they first conceived the program and proposed it to us, but that’s just ridiculous. How many of our country’s programs have they plagiarized? They don’t even try to adapt it, do they? They just blatantly copy everything, from the sets and costumes to the format and even the number of cast members.]

[Let’s organize that separately and upload it. There is evidence that cannot be omitted or excluded. Even if we don’t know how the situation will change, let’s at least make sure that we make the objective facts known so that no one misunderstands. Shouldn’t there be no situations where people curse and criticize each other over things like this?]

[Yes! Of course, Manager.]

[By the way, why on earth did you start committing violence out of nowhere? I’m talking about PD Hong Min-joong. From what I’ve seen in interviews, it seems like you’ve already proposed a program collaboration with China two years ago. What happened back then? You’re saying that you started throwing punches? If it weren’t for that, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.]

While listening to their conversation, Heesung could also understand that this issue was related to program plagiarism.

However, I had the same question: why did the problem become so big in the first place?

According to Joo Seung-ik, the head of GEM Entertainment, Hong Min-joong had been planning a collaboration with China for two years.

That’s what happened this time, so naturally, the history of what was exchanged would have remained.

That would have made it easier to prove who the original planner of this program was and which country first proposed collaboration.

I couldn’t understand why he had to respond in such an emotional way when there was such an easy way.

‘They say you have a weird style, but are you perhaps someone who can’t control your emotions?’

If that were the case, it would be truly regrettable.

If we had thought a little more rationally, this wouldn’t have developed into a national fight.

No matter how things turn out, isn’t it inevitable that a red line will be drawn in your life?

If it is to the extent of being imprisoned in a detention center, it means that a prison sentence is expected in the first trial, and if it is to that extent of punishment, it means that the degree of assault is by no means small.

Then suddenly a strong question occurred to me.

‘But why are you telling me this future scene at this time…? It has nothing to do with me.’

planned by Hong Min-jung was a program that had no connection with Heesung.

Not only do I not know PD Hong Min-joong at all, but the only connection I can find is that one of the participants in the program is Yoo Jae-wook.

It was Hee-sung who helped Yoo Jae-wook overcome his slump and get back on track, and since then, they have developed a relationship like brothers and still maintain a good relationship.

One more thing to mention is that it was Heesung who recommended him for .

‘But that future has already come true, right? All I saw was Yoo Jae-wook being selected for the final 4 teams.’

I don’t know when this conversation took place, but Yoo Jae-wook wouldn’t have suffered any loss if the program stopped here.

Just the fact that they made it to the final four out of 12 teams and advanced to the national competition was a success in itself, and they could then continue on as singers.

Excluding Yoo Jae-wook, there really is no connection between the program and Hee-sung.

But why did he suddenly show me this future at this time when I was listening to Kim Ji-yu’s story?

As the reporters’ conversation seemed to be coming to an end, Heesung was preparing to return to reality.

Whatever it was, it seemed like I had to meet Joo Seung-ik as originally planned.

Whether it’s Kim Ji-yu, Yoo Jae-wook, or PD Hong Min-joong, they’re all connected to Joo Seung-ik.

‘after.’

But then, it was then.

As Heeseong waited to hear the surrounding noise again, he heard someone else’s voice through his ear.

The words that came out of his mouth were so shocking.

[Boss, boss! We’re in big trouble now! He committed suicide, he committed suicide!]

[What? Suicide? What are you talking about all of a sudden?]

[Who? Who committed suicide? Where did you hear that?]

[Kim Ji-yu! A breaking news article just came out! Shouldn’t we also quickly investigate it?]

A man who brings up the topic of reporting even though someone died.

After hearing the shocking news from his mouth, Heesung began to regain his hearing as if he had come back to the surface.

“What are you doing, Heesung? Weren’t you trying to call someone? Why are you suddenly making such a face as if you heard something you shouldn’t have heard… .”

Chae So-won asked cautiously, looking at Hee-seong, who was absent-mindedly staring at her phone screen.

Heeseong’s gaze could not help but turn straight to Kim Jiyu.

‘Even though you’re taking antidepressants, it doesn’t seem like you’re in a state to make such an extreme choice… … Besides, this problem and that thing are completely different, right?’

What Kim Ji-yu was having a hard time with was whether or not the competition would continue.

The program was just getting started, but I was in a situation where I had to deceive everyone and leave the program.

However, the future that Heesung saw was one in which the program could no longer continue.

Because Hong Min-joong, the producer of the program and not a participant, was in danger of being imprisoned for other reasons.

But why did Kim Ji-yu suddenly make that choice there…?

Jiying.

Jiying.

As I was staring at Kim Ji-yu without saying anything, the cell phone I was holding in my hand began to vibrate for a long time.

When I finally took my eyes off the screen, I saw the three letters of Joo Seung-ik’s name displayed.

‘What? How could you call me first at this time… … .’

Hee-sung was already looking for Joo Seung-ik’s number, but before he could, he got a call from him first.

Heeseong got up from his seat, took a few steps, and then connected the call.

“Yes, Chief. This is Jeong Hee-seong.”

-Manager, this is Seungik Joo. How have you been?

“Of course. I was thinking of coming to Korea and meeting the director. Why did you call me first?”

-Oh, right. I was going to call you with good news and treat you to a nice meal. Unfortunately, that call didn’t work out today.

“Why, is something wrong?”

Joo Seung-ik’s deep sigh could be heard over the phone.

A few seconds later, Joo Seung-ik opened his mouth and spoke to Hee-sung.

-Excuse me, Manager, but can I see you right now? There’s someone who really needs to see you urgently.

“Now? Where are you?”

-This is JNBC. Actually, I met with the PD here and we talked about this and that, and I mentioned you, Manager. I thought it wasn’t an ordinary problem, so I thought I could ask you for some help.

“What about me…?”

-Whew, well. I didn’t think that far ahead, but the manager came to mind first. I guess it’s because the manager was the one who first connected me with this program…

At those words, Heeseong’s expression changed and he asked.

“By any chance, what is the name of the PD who is with you right now…?”

– This is PD Hong Min-joong. You know, right? He’s the CP in charge of the competition show that Jae-wook is appearing in. We’ll talk about the details when we meet, but the program is about to be completely turned upside down.
