Episode 30.

After sending the text message, Lee Jong-suk thought quietly.

‘Given the president’s personality, he will definitely go even if I tell him not to. The country needs to move too.’

The action was quick. I picked up the phone that I had put down again.

I found someone in my address book. He was the most dependable person at times like this. I pressed the call button. Soon a heavy bass sound rang out.

– Is it Jongseok?

It was Lee Kang-seok.

“Yes, brother.”

– What’s going on again?

“Rather than something to do······. I’m calling you at this late hour because I feel like I need to ask you a small favor again. Is that okay?”

His voice was shaking slightly.

The navigation guided my Aventador deep into Cheongdam-dong.

“Are you CEO Kang Si-Hyeon?”

I didn’t even have to reveal my name. I was guided right away. It felt more like a hotel than a bar.

It’s a great place for little ones to play.

After walking down the long hallway, I stood in front of a private room with the number 1 written on it. The staff member knocked cautiously on the door.

“Guests have arrived.”

There wasn’t even a word telling me to come in.

As I entered, three unfamiliar faces were sitting across a table with bottles of alcohol scattered about.

“Oh my, CEO Cocoa Kang is so handsome.”

These were Isora’s first words.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Park Na-jin. I’m in charge of investment distribution at Ticket Box.”

“This is Sharon E&M’s Choi Jeong-Hyeon.”

“You know what I mean, right? My name is Seo Lee. I’m in charge of the film division at JD Entertainment. What are you doing? Hurry up and take a seat.”

He didn’t even listen to my introduction. He just sat down.

“Hey, it definitely looks better in person than in the picture.”

“I think I’m much better than you.”

“What’s wrong, Inma?”

He started a conversation with an unexpected criticism, and then they both started giggling as if he had said something funny.

I asked.

“What’s the matter······.”

I planned to first confirm their business and then tell them mine.

Even though I was in a hurry, I did some research before coming.

All three were involved in the , which I was once upset about because they didn’t embrace me. They were special friends from the beginning.

That’s not all.

Park Na-jin has a history of squandering billions of won of company money over the years through Korean-style historical horror fantasy film festivals. Lee Seo-ra and Choi Jung-hyun were mostly similar. These guys are real. They are geniuses at spending money.

You can tell just by looking at the clothes they are wearing. They are all luxury brands, but they all look cheap. This is not an easy feat.

‘I’m sure I’ll learn a lot here.’

There is no end to learning. I was burning with hope.

“What’s so urgent?”

Isera Lee handed me the glass. I shook my head.

“I have to drive.”

“You can’t drink because you have to drive?”

This time, all three of them burst out laughing at something funny. It seems like their sense of humor is also quite different from others.

Park Na-jin smiled.

“Okay. That’s good.”

Opened his mouth.

“Since you’re curious about my business, I’ll start with what I want to say. I saw the article about . It was good, wasn’t it? Would you like to do it with us?”

“Together? What?”

It was an unexpected remark.

“Investment. Investment.”

Park Na-jin raised her voice as if she was frustrated.

“It looks like it will cost hundreds of billions. Can Cocoa handle it alone? As a large corporation, we will jointly invest and provide turnkey services from production to distribution and screening. Do you still not have the input?”

What is this sudden, dog-eat-dog talk? Joint investment? What? Public investment, huh?

“Just a moment.”

This is crossing the line. Learning is learning, and what needs to be discussed needs to be discussed.

“Why are you doing that?”

“First of all, there is no need for investment. Not at all. We have already decided to invest. The contract has been concluded.”

“This guy really doesn’t understand what I’m saying.”

This time it was Isera.

“We’re telling you that we’ll help you out? We’ll take all the money and put the rest neatly in your account.”

“Stop slacking off and just accept it. Don’t you know that if we put in the effort, it’s not a big deal to ruin a movie?”

Even Choi Jeong-hyeon, who had been quiet, stepped forward and intervened. It was threatening.

Anyway, I don’t know about anything else, but I heard one thing clearly. ‘I’ll put the money in your account.’ That means I’ll give you the money.

That’s ridiculous.

I came here to learn how to spend money, but these guys are telling me they’ll teach me how to make money. These guys are useless. The word genius is taken off the table. Hope is gone.

“I think I came to the wrong place.”

Cut it off decisively.

“yes?”

He had a blank expression. It was a face that said he hadn’t expected this kind of reaction.

“Thank you for the offer (I wasn’t grateful at all), but joint investment was never in the plan from the beginning and there won’t be any in the future. I had some questions, but I think you’ve already heard the answers. Let’s pretend our meeting never happened. It was nice to meet you.”

Park Na-jin muttered helplessly as she looked at the closed door.

“What is that kid?”

“What the heck? It’s our little brat.”

Isera Lee pointed it out.

Laughter erupted. It was a hollow laugh. It was the first time in her life that she had ever been cheated on for money. Park Na-jin forced herself to laugh.

“I feel like shit.”

“You too? Me too.”

“Let’s get out and go somewhere else. This place seems to be occupied.”

“Okay, let’s do that.”

The three of them got up. The employees saw them off as if they were their superiors.

“You have finished calculating.”

The problem came after meeting the manager.

“what?”

“The person who left first finished paying and left.”

“Who left first? Who is that?”

As Park Na-jin repeated what he had said, Kang Si-hyeon’s name came to mind.

“How much did it cost?”

“The total is 123,213,398 won. He calculated it all and left. He told me not to tell you, but I thought you should know, so I’m telling you.”

what?

“That kid fucking emptied all our ledgers?”

What kind of action is this? Park Na-jin’s dumbfounded voice rang in the two men’s ears.

***

For Heo Young-do of the Cheongdam-dong private club , today was the first day like this.

‘I emptied 100 million won of my receivables at once.’

I saw it in the newspaper. It was Cocoa Kang Si-hyeon. He robbed three troublesome scoundrels of their outstanding debts.

I should be feeling good, but strangely I wasn’t.

I got to this point because of this one tip. It’s not always good to have money. This kind of uneasy feeling is definitely not something I feel often. I felt like something was going to happen.

“Wow, this is awesome. This is awesome.”

Only Jeongpal was talking without knowing the speed.

“what.”

“I appreciate that those bastards are leaving at this hour without saying a word, but they’ve already taken out all the outstanding balance. Shouldn’t we have a company dinner?”

“It’s pointless. I got the money I was owed, so why are we having a company dinner?”

“That’s what they say. That’s what they say.”

The guy was mumbling and then went outside.

It’s not that it wasn’t, but it was good that the three bastards, Heo Yeong-do and Mangna, left nicely.

They were a bunch of guys with a lot of trouble.

Every time I came here, they would always ask me to buy more, saying things like, “They watered down the alcohol, the food was tasteless, and the service was crap.” Since they were children of large corporations, there was nothing I could do. I had to go along with their wishes, crying and eating mustard.

‘I hope it never happens again, right?’

He thought to himself.

That was when.

“Boss! Boss!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance. Jeongpal, who had gone out, ran inside.

“We’re in trouble, boss.”

“What the big deal.”

“Shoulders are crowding outside. Why on earth are you suddenly······.”

The answer came from somewhere else.

“This is very rude. My name is Lee Kang-seok. I have something to talk about.”

Lee Kang-seok.

It was a name I had heard many times. As expected, my intuition was right. Heo Yeong-do’s face turned pale.

Fortunately, he really only came to talk. Lee Kang-seok and Heo Young-do met in a secret room.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t come here to eat Mr. Heo today.”

Lee Kang-seok comforted him.

“Then what happened?”

“It’s nothing. Are there any kids who come here often?”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Three guys who are talking about investing in and distributing movies, they’re all hanging around together. Don’t you know? Or are you pretending not to know?”

I know, but I can’t say it.

‘If we touch it for no reason, our karma will only go away. We should keep our mouths shut.’

But Lee Kang-seok already knew everything.

“Park Na-jin, Lee Seo-ra, and who else?”

“This is Choi Jeong-Hyeon.”

“Yes, Choi Jung-hyun. Anyway, those three. I know that. I’m not saying I’m going to do anything. I’m also afraid of conglomerates. I’m only going to touch them enough to handle the consequences.”

“······.”

“You must have taken a picture of something. Just give me one. It’s not that hard to ask, is it?”

It’s not that there weren’t any, there were a few.

“There are definitely a few things you’re holding onto, right?”

There was no answer.

“Don’t bother calculating. Just give me a few. Of course, I’m not asking for it for free, so don’t worry. I’ll take care of the aftermath. Mr. Heo, just worry about your business going forward with my name on it.”

Heo Yeong-do’s choice was already decided. If it was going to be the same whether he died today or tomorrow, he had to live today.

***

The next day, Park Na-jin received a strange text message. It was accompanied by several photos taken at .

– I’d like to talk quietly.

I called Lee Seo-ra and Choi Jeong-hyeon in a hurry.

“Have you ever received something like this?”

“Hey, you too?”

They both nodded.

“What? It seems like you know everything.”

“What should I do? If Dad finds out, he’ll come after me.”

“Are you the only one who’s falling behind? If I get caught this time, I’m out. I’ll be kicked out to the US without any choice and won’t be able to set foot on Korean soil until I get my MBA.”

Being a conglomerate or whatever is of no use now. These kids are blinded by worry about their mom and dad. There was no way I could not go.

“Why aren’t you coming?”

“Don’t you know?”

After a long time, Lee Jong-suk showed up at the meeting place.

“What kind of person are you? How did you get the photo?”

As soon as she saw it, Park Na-jin got angry.

“It won’t be too late for you to listen to what I have to say and then get angry.”

The story he told along with his self-introduction was simple.

I have a recording of the Argon Chronicles that I ate in collusion with Jo Wang-beom. The audio quality is perfect. I can play it to you as much as you want. If you don’t do as I say, I will release it on YouTube.

It was just four sentences. All three became dumb after eating honey.

It was a dead end.

Even if you snatch the USB dangling in front of you, it’s useless if you have a copy. It’ll just be a waste of time and cause trouble.

“What should we do? Let’s go well.”

The voice became more refined.

“You should have come out like this from the beginning.”

“Let me start with the words.”

“If only the three of you would cooperate, we won’t make a big deal out of it. Our leader doesn’t want it either.”

“Your representative? Kang Si-Hyeon?”

Isera Lee had a seizure.

“Is a dog like a dog -like threat? Is that baby told me? Is this illegal recording?

Lee Jong-suk responded calmly.

“You were the one who made the threats first.”

“I?”

“You said it wasn’t a big deal to kill someone? How could you stay still after hearing something like that?”

At those words, the two glared at her. It meant to be quiet. If they got noisy, they had nothing to lose. Isora, who was startled, finally became quiet.

Lee Jong-suk smiled coldly.

“I don’t have any wishes. Just don’t disturb the path the representative is taking. That’s all.”

“Is that really all I need?”

Park Na-jin asked.

“Of course.”

“I always keep my promises.”

“Do you think we are like you? Don’t worry about that. We will keep our promises.”

“······.”

“Oh, I have one more thing to say.”

Park Na-jin was about to shout, “One is enough.”

“After listening to the recording, it seems like you’re offering a full turnkey service?”

“Oh, yeah. What.”

“Oh, that’s right. We have money, but we don’t have a movie theater, right? The three of you happen to have a movie theater. When the time comes, please pull the theaters to capacity so that our movie can do well. ‘Turnkey’.”

“······.”

“Of course you won’t charge me for it, right? Isn’t that the level of service that you should provide?”

Lee Jong-suk, who had been pretending to be considerate, ended up taking advantage. Park Na-jin’s breathing became ragged at the absurd request.

“another.”

It was a voice completely devoid of emotion.

“I’ll send you the account number, so please add the 123,213,398 won for the drinks that our CEO Kang paid for you. If there’s even 1 won left, you know that, right? Then you’ll hear my answer on YouTube, not through my voice.”

– Thank you, Brother Kang Seok. I’ve taken care of everything.

On the way back, Lee Jong-suk sent a text message. But there was one more place he had to send it to.

[Me (Lee Jong-suk)] Mr. Song, I am Lee Jong-suk.

The reply came quickly.

[Song Yu-hwa] What’s going on?

[Me (Lee Jong-suk)] Whirlwind of the Sea, Sharon Cinema, JDV, and Kinobox are offering full screenings at a very low price. I just signed the contract. Production hasn’t even started yet, but what do you think? Haha, it’s good news, so I’m telling you in advance. I’ll tell you the details tomorrow at the company.

It was a rewarding and busy day.

‘Is assisting Kang Si-hyeon this difficult?’

If he had remained just another PB team leader at Future Asset, he wouldn’t have felt that way. He was feeling alive these days.
