I Only Play Villains - I only play villains chapter 164
Old soldiers don’t retire (1)
“As expected, whether it’s a drama or life, it’s fun when there’s a proper twist. However, it would be difficult to go to space alone to become too novel.”
-Oh, manager, you’re concentrating, right?
“I told you from the first time I contacted you. I’m running out of senses, but I wonder if I can handle it.”
-Are you deliberately matching the rhythm to the rhyme?
“Come on, let’s shoot.”
Oh Tae-woo set the angle so that the micro-camera disguised as a button on his jacket could take good pictures.
To broadcast high-definition live broadcasts to former co-workers waiting nearby.
-It’s a face that isn’t in the database. weird. If you are an executive of Hwasung Group, you should be in the database.
“What did you say your name was?”
-Before installing the directional sensor, the two exchanged greetings, so I don’t know yet.
Jeong Seo-hoon suddenly went out and did not cooperate with the company. Everything can’t be perfect from the point of view that hastily and belatedly followed.
That’s why he put Oh Tae-woo in the vicinity in advance to serve as a close guard.
In order to perfect security and counterintelligence through seamless information acquisition.
– Go a little closer. Even if you get caught, naturally, you know? Manager Oh is set to go on a blind date at a nice place today and get winded by a woman and feel depressed… … .
“Chief, you should mix clichés in moderation. I know what to do.”
Oh Tae-woo calmly adjusted his expression and naturally closed the distance.
If possible, it is better not to be caught by Jeong Seo-hoon, or even if he is caught, as late as possible.
I’ve already thought out what to say if I get caught.
As the table gets closer, the conversation between the two is now clearly audible.
“I naturally thought it was a proposal from the Hwaseong Group. Could it be that the business card the executive gave me is wrong?”
“hehehe, of course we met because of Hwaseong Group work.”
– Son of a b*tch. that’s a lie Among the managing directors of Hwaseong Group, there is no face like that.
I was about to tell him to stay still, but Oh Tae-woo shut his mouth.
It reminded me of how Jeong Seo-hoon often showed his exceptionally sensitive senses.
There’s no way he’d catch someone talking quietly at this distance, but it would be right to be cautious.
The two continued to talk.
“It is difficult to understand. After all, companies invest to make money, not just for prestige.”
“well. On the contrary, the larger the company, the greater the obligation to spend money and the greater the honor.”
The lobbyist, who seemed to be in his mid-50s, had a friendly smile that suited him perfectly.
An image that can bring deep trust to most people from the first meeting.
“Typically, there is a charitable fund. The Hwaseong Group spends tens of billions of dollars annually on social responsibility demands.”
“Do you think the commercialization of room temperature nuclear fusion will be solved with that much money?”
“Of course not. We are willing to continuously invest 10 trillion won in the first round and 1 trillion won annually thereafter.”
Oh Tae-woo pretended to be admiring the statue in the center of the hall, keeping the button-type camera at a good angle for the lobbyist.

Now, instead of the communicator in my ear, I could clearly hear the conversation between the two through human voice.
– Our professor, aren’t you too complacent? It’s a sensitive conversation in a public place like this.
-That heart beats. Just how high-quality information is going around right now. The restaurant servers probably have no idea how much the two of them are talking.
Oh Tae-woo laughed silently.
Complacent, it can’t be
I do that because it doesn’t matter if I can talk about it in a place like this. This is possible because they are wrapped around the confidence that is harder than titanium alloy.
‘I have already published a thesis, and the most important equation is still undisclosed because it has not been sorted out. What kind of information is meeting with companies? Ah, Sanghyeon said he was stocking these days.’
It may be information that has astronomical value for stock investors.
Depending on which company Jeong Seo-hoon raises his hand, that company as well as the domestic stock market will fluctuate here and there.
-But if it’s 10 trillion won first and 1 trillion won every year, it’s too salty. It’s a big blood loss even if it’s the number one in the business world, but it’s still far short of room temperature nuclear fusion.
-The Crown Prince of Oil presented a swan check that is scarier than a blank check.
“There is no deadline. We will not stop investing capital until we succeed in commercialization.”
“How many shares do you want? Saudi Arabia called 49% for $100 billion.”
“It is not an equity investment. It is a bond.”
“bond?”
“Yes. The results of the research are 100% owned by the professor. We intend to take only a small amount of interest.”
“If it’s a loan, I can think about it more seriously. In fact, in the meantime, you and I both wanted to invest in equity, so we put everything off.”
“hahahaha, I have no intention of occupying great knowledge that will change the world with commonplace money. It’s not even greed, it’s stupid greed.”
-Aren’t you just asking for interest rates of 10% and 20%? If the commercialization succeeds and profits come in, I will receive the principal and interest, and if it fails, even if I say that I will bury it, even if it is Professor Jeong Seo-hoon, I will be tempted… … .
“We will not claim reimbursement until we succeed in commercialization and generate meaningful profits. It’s unlikely, but if commercialization fails, you only have to return the remaining amount. It’s okay even if it’s 0 won.”
-Also. am i right?
“Oh, and the interest rate is -0.058%.”
-what? minus? No, then whether you succeed or fail, you lose money, right?
– Even a negative interest rate is not necessarily a loss. The par value is a safe asset that will never lose, so if the distribution rate goes down later, the bond price goes up, so you can realize trading profits.
– Chief, that’s not it. In any case, it will be the only company that has provided money for Professor Jeong Seo-hoon’s nuclear fusion research, and its intangible value will be much greater than the interest it loses.
-No, that’s why he’s not even the executive director of the Hwaseong Group. A face that doesn’t even appear in the database?
-If you are an ordinary person who is not registered in the database, but is suddenly nominated as an executive director, then we made a big mistake.
“Professor Jeong Seo-hoon chose our Hwaseong Group as a partner for practical use of room temperature nuclear fusion. It is a valuable credit that cannot be exchanged for gold. That is the return on investment we really want.”
– Dude, you speak well. Did you grease your mouth? Listening to it, I feel like I’m going to pass over the hollardang.
-Sigh… … How would you feel if an executive of a large company came to you with an unconventional card like that and asked for some money?
-But I still don’t know what the real identity is.
– Still can’t find out what car you came in?
-The parking lot CCTV video has not come over yet. The police don’t cooperate.
I keep my ears open on the table pretending to be looking at the sculpture, but it suddenly goes quiet.
I wondered what was going on, but Oh Tae-woo struggled to keep his head turned to the side in case our eyes met.
– Chief, move! You can’t stand still!
– Oh exaggeration!
As soon as he heard that, Oh Tae-woo naturally turned around and headed for the bathroom.
But at that moment, I heard a sound right next to me that I couldn’t feel anything.
“Oh Detective, this is how I see you. Who are you coming to see?”
“Ah, Mr. Seohun. Wow, this is how we meet.”
Oh Tae-woo naturally turned his head and made a moderately surprised and moderately pleased expression.
I’m trying hard not to find out that I want to be eaten properly.
“I came to meet a female member through matchmaking at a marriage information company, but there was no contact and it was just late.”
– Hey, you bastard. It would have been much better if I did as I said.
– Rather, it’s a realistic setting, so I don’t think S1 will doubt it. These days, the number of registered members of marriage companies is rapidly increasing.
“I think this is the eight cup that I will not be able to get married this year. Seo Hoon, who are you also here to meet?”
“I’m going to have a little business meeting.”
“In terms of business, are you courting companies that want to do nuclear fusion again?”
“I asked to meet you on Mars.”
“Yes? Oh, is that the one over there?”
Oh Tae-woo naturally looked behind Jeong Seo-hoon, and the man who met his eyes greeted him lightly with a friendly smile.
“Then have a good time.”
“It’s a windy angle. hehehe, if it’s okay, would you like to have a drink after the meeting?”
“Good. It will be over soon.”
Oh Tae-woo naturally returned to his original position.
-Oh, manager, your sense is good.
-What is Sense Good?
“Come on, wait a while and turn off all local broadcasting. Do you remember how we were scared when he asked if we were using low-end hearing aids?”
Jeong Seo-hoon talked to the man for about 10 more minutes and then broke up. The man greeted politely until the end and left the Loop Cafe.
The agent on standby would have followed immediately.
“Is the woman still not in touch?”
“I think it was windy. I have to complain to the manager. I was in vain, so please add three more arrangements.”
The two called the staff and simply ordered beer.
“I didn’t look like a tall person. Seeing you go around without an attendant.”
“They say it’s the managing director. It was the first face I had ever seen.”
“hit. Seo Hoon said he knew all the faces of chaebol families, right?”
“I don’t know when and where I will receive industry-academia support. I was familiar with it.”
“Anyway, it’s not the owner’s family.”
“The Vice Chairman of Hwaseong Group said that he was a messenger sent on his behalf. He said that he was worried about the world’s gaze when he moved himself, so he sent someone he could trust instead.”
“Oh yeah?”
It’s a messenger sent directly from the owner’s family.
That’s why it doesn’t seem to have been in the database, but somehow I’m not relieved.
“The conditions were the best of those offered so far.”
“Yes?”
“I am attracted to Professor Jeong Seo-hoon. But not so much for actor Jeong Seo-hoon. Research done with other people’s money eventually puts pressure on performance, and I don’t think I’ll be able to focus on acting properly because I’m not paying attention.”
“hahahaha, between the business world and the political world, you must have a chimney-like desire to suppress the media and prevent Seo-hoon from appearing and retire him.”
As the beer came out, the atmosphere became more natural.
Jeong Seo-hun didn’t seem to find it strange at all why Oh Tae-woo was here.
However, Oh Tae-woo was not vigilant until the end.
“But don’t you feel a sense of deja vu?”
“Yes? What?”
Jeong Seo-hoon looked around and met Oh Tae-woo’s eyes. A lower voice came out.
“Chief, did I follow you?”
For a moment, there was an uproar over the earphones.
Incomprehensible urgent words pour out, mixed like pig food. Everyone was shocked that the tail was stepped on, raising suspicion.
Oh Tae-woo accepted it calmly.
“I told you. A female member cheated on me. I think the marriage agency used the part-time job.”
“How far should I believe that?”
“If you don’t believe me, why don’t you go and tell the president?”
“Did your father tell you to do this?”
“My father, I don’t even know what I am doing. I only pamper my hanged daughter.”
Their eyes met tensely, and then both burst into laughter at the same time.
“I didn’t think it was possible when you talked about the wedding company earlier, but you still remember all the lines from the filming a few days ago.”
“You are a rookie. I cried out to die. So I guess it’s still in my head.”
-what? Were the two of you talking to each other? Oh, I was surprised to hear you were caught.
-I think there was a situation similar to this during the filming of the script.
– It almost caused an arrhythmia.
“It’s really similar to the one I filmed three days ago. The interior also feels like it was stripped down.”
“Seeing that you are naturally well received, I think Detective Oh also has a calling as an actor. Are you going to work this way at all?”
“What do you miss about Seo Hoon, someone like me?”
“Acting is not something you do alone. Oh detective, you are a good actor. I want to make many works together in the future. I am serious.”
After lightly bumping the toast again, swallowing the beer, Jeong Seo-hoon said like a joke.
“Actually, it turns out that I imagined for a moment what it would have been like if Detective Oh had really been Agent Black.”
“hahahaha, Mr. Seo Hoon is also true. When I drink, I imagine all sorts of things.”
“I am worried these days. Drama and reality flow in a similar flow, so sometimes I get the illusion that I am Hwang Kun-wook and not Jeong Seo-hoon.”
“Actually, I also saw a case similar to what Seo Hoon went through at my previous job. So I know what it means.”
“Anything similar to me?”
“Intellectual property… … I saw an unfair person who was taken away because he had no strength to protect it.”
Oh Tae-woo felt a strange heat cling to his throat.
I only drank beer lightly and was far from drunk.
But my heart is strangely dizzy and fluctuating.
“How was the ending?”
“It was a bad ending. What is reality like? So I hope this drama has a happy ending. I’m not going like an ill girl. The reality is harsh, so you should be happy at least in a drama.”
Jeong Seo-hoon laughed silently.
It is a laugh that seems to have experienced the bitter futility of the world, which is not the same as one’s age. It’s to the point where I wonder if I’m still acting.
“Isn’t there a lot of hard work in the power world in many ways?”
“Yes. I saw a lot of bad things. Actually, acting relieved a lot of stress.”
“By the way, did Homicide deal with white-collar crime?”
Hiccup!
Oh Tae-woo, whose mask was momentarily broken, calmly wiped his lips and spoke.
“Here is the beer carbonation zone. aww, count Is there even a Guinness Brewery Tapster?”
Jeong Seo-hun said nothing and brought the new beer to his mouth. Without taking his eyes off Oh Tae-woo, he drank all the way through without stopping and set the glass down.
It felt like I was hearing gulp and swallowing sounds in my earphones.
“It’s probably a pilsner, not a Guinness.”
“Oh right. Guinness is master quality, indeed.”
Sighs of relief were heard through the earphones, but only Oh Tae-woo could not smile.
