The Chaebol Who Flies From Space - Chapter 62

62. Going to America (3)

It’s not for nothing that it’s one of the top black companies in the United States.

I’ve experienced this myself, and they don’t hide the fact that they treat customers like rip-offs.

It takes a long time to sign up for internet and get it set up, but canceling it is even more of a hassle.

If you want to cancel while moving, you have to call the customer service center that doesn’t answer the phone, but it’s as hard as trying to reach a star in the sky to make a single call.

They sell internet and cable together, but the installation equipment is poor and breaks down easily. It takes a long time to fix it.

What can you do? When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

No matter how angry you get, it only makes your head hurt.

After taking a quick look around the house, I returned to the hotel.

Jeongyeon was back at the hotel.

“Are you here already?”

“Tina won’t take you to the afterparty.”

“Huh? Why?”

“The water there isn’t good. He said that someone he doesn’t like will come and ruin the mood. He grumbled a lot as he left, saying that he came without being invited.”

“There are a lot of eels who muddy the waters in Hollywood.”

Hollywood is where women and money meet. It has been involved with the mafia since its inception and has been plagued with scandals until recently.

This would be the same in Korea.

I started to worry when I saw my younger sister.

“You too, be careful.”

“Huh? What are you careful about?”

“There are a lot of brainless punks in the film industry who try to get a pretty woman to do something, but on the other hand, there are also a lot of guys who try to hook up a rich man or woman and try to make a fortune. Don’t be fooled by a handsome guy who’s trying to seduce you.”

Jeongyeon laughed at my words.

“Heh, you know how many times I’ve had people look at me here and there and rush in just because of my face? I’ve already had a lot of experiences in college.”

“Those guys are crazy. Their eyes are wide open.”

“It’s because I’m pretty that my eyes are dazzling. And being the daughter of a rich father is also a bit of a plus.”

“Probably, it’s bigger for a daughter to have a rich father.”

“I admit that too.”

It was strange that he accepted it so obediently.

“What’s so strange about it? My mother always says something. Don’t get married early like your aunt, but try everything while you’re young and then meet a man.”

“Somehow, what you’re saying is a little strange.”

“Anyway, I don’t want to meet a man until I’m 30. I’m going to do what I want, travel, and live that way.”

This is an extremely personal opinion, so I have no reason to comment.

“Live however you want. Who came that Valentina didn’t take you?”

“There’s a notorious film producer named Harvey Weinstein. He’s talented, but he has a messy personal life and a dog-like personality.”

“I think it was a good idea not to take him with you. I couldn’t just leave someone who does strange things with your personality alone.”

He’s a good person when dealing with people, but he can also be fiery-tempered and if he attacks you and threatens to break your head… Ugh, it seemed like Valentina made a good decision.

If you’re going to break your head, you should do it in a place where no one else is around.

“You said you were going to see the house, so how was it when you went to see it?”

“It felt empty because there was no furniture.”

“That’s why I said the house is too big. Please find me an apartment right now.”

“I told you to think about the bodyguards. If the house is small, do you know how uncomfortable it will be to live together?”

“Ugh, my heart feels heavy when I think about living alone in that big house.”

“That’s funny. If you live there, you’ll understand those words. If you live in an apartment, do you think you’ll do housework? You’ll have to hire people anyway. This boss said he’ll find people to work at home, so you can eat home-cooked meals and live.”

“Oh! So I eat Korean food at home?”

“Isn’t that obvious? I should eat Korean food at home.”

“I thought I had to eat American food in America.”

“You can’t eat American food, it’s salty, sweet, and greasy. It doesn’t suit your taste, and you’ll die after eating it for a month. I had a really hard time when I lived in New York.”

“I like that.”

“And I asked you to find someone to accompany you. This CEO recommended that his eldest daughter work at a film company.”

“Ugh, I still can’t get used to it. Even when I had people working at home before, no one followed me around.”

“You should get used to it. Blame me for getting so rich. In the past, you were just a rich kid, but now you’re the younger sister of a chaebol brother. There must be more than one or two guys who think that kidnapping you will earn them more than winning the lottery.”

Besides, this is America, a country full of people who carry guns and set up shop.

Living in expensive places is also due to safety concerns.

While I was talking to my younger sister, Team Leader Oh came to my hotel room.

“This curator came to see me.”

Why did this CEO, who had returned to the office for work, come to the hotel?

A young woman appeared behind the president who had come in. This person also has quite an impatient personality.

“You went back to the office because of an urgent matter. Did you take care of the work?”

“That’s it. There’s something wrong with my daughter.”

“Dad! Let me tell you.”

The daughter stepped forward to speak on behalf of the president who was unable to speak and was hesitant.

“Did something come up at the company you were working for?”

“Yes, there was a problem and it was chaos.”

“What’s the problem?”

“It’s a mix of issues, including racism from superiors and sexual harassment of women.”

Just hearing it made my head hurt, so I rubbed my forehead. It was obvious who was at fault without me having to ask.

This person is an Asian minority, a woman, and a lower-ranking person at that.

“So?”

“Thanks to you, I was able to quit my job because my dad said he had a job available.”

It wasn’t the president who came to see me in a hurry, but my daughter.

“Aren’t you going to sue?”

“What’s the point of trying? It’s obvious whose side the company will take. If you don’t want your reputation to go down the drain, you should keep your mouth shut.”

“If you want to do it, do it. If you need a lawyer, I will support you.”

“Really? I still don’t want to do it.”

“why?”

“I heard that you have to take care of your younger sister. I can’t just think about my position since I might get involved with the company in the future.”

If you think so, then there’s nothing you can do. After all, litigation is usually not a very tiring affair.

So only those who want to sue do so.

“Talk to me anytime you want. I will support you with the best lawyer.”

Once you’re inside me, you’re mine.

I can’t stand seeing my people suffer.

First of all, I passed.

After talking with him, I liked it.

“Jeongyeon, go to your room and talk to this person here.”

I sent Jeongyeon off, who was hesitating, and looked at President Lee.

“I guess you and your daughter are on good terms. You asked for my help when you had a difficult time at work.”

“Yes, my daughter has been very obedient to me since she was little.”

“It’s not easy to do that even when you get older. I like your personality. You’re calm, but you say what you want to say.”

“How do you know my daughter’s personality so well without even exchanging a few words?”

“I am good at reading people.”

This is what experience is, man.

“I’ve had problems with my boss before. I’ve heard that the American film industry is a mess. Even though we make animated films for children, the inside of the company is a total mess.”

“Does your daughter go to Disney?”

“Yes, when I graduated from college and entered Disney, I was happy because it was my dream come true, but after I entered, I had a hard time. I thought a lot about changing jobs.”

Well, isn’t that the case with all companies? If you don’t like it, you can start your own company like me.

“If I talk to my younger sister and she likes it, I’ll get the job right away. We’ll discuss the salary and decide on it.”

“Thank you. I think my daughter will like it.”

“It’s too early to thank you. My sister hasn’t made up her mind yet, but looking at her, I think she’s already made up her mind.”

When I saw the two of them walking back inside, smiling affectionately, I thought I knew the outcome.

I informed the president’s daughter that she had passed the exam and told her to come here starting tomorrow.

As the two people left, Jeongyeon started to fuss.

“Oppa! Oppa! I really like Sooji.”

It seemed like the president’s eldest daughter’s name was Suzy.

“Why do you like it?”

“We communicate well and, above all, he says he’s a Hollywood insider. He also says he knows Tina. They’re not close, but they just know each other by face.”

“How come a Disney employee knows the president of a small production company?”

“I see that Disney doesn’t just make animated films, but also invests a lot here and there. By the way, Suzy told me about Harvey.”

“Harvey? Who is that?”

“Harvey Weinstein, that asshole Tina told me not to go to the after-party.”

“so?”

“That author doesn’t get along well with Soo-ji. Her boss is on her side.”

“Is that author connected to Disney?”

“I heard that Disney is the largest shareholder of Miramax, the film production company run by Harvey Weinstein? They also produced Pulp Fiction. I enjoyed that movie, but I had a lot of problems with my boss because of the author. My sister reported to the Disney board that Harvey should be kicked out, but my boss blocked it.”

“He has excellent production skills, so you’re kicking him out?”

“I heard that guy has a serious sexual harassment problem. There was a lot of talk among actresses, so my sister checked and found out that it was true. He also has a crazy personality, so much so that one of his subordinates even received psychiatric treatment.”

I thought so. There are few sane people among successful CEOs.

“So this time, I had a huge fight with my boss and was going to report to the board that Harvey needed to be dealt with, but my boss stopped me and that’s how the problem came to light.”

“You probably didn’t have much time, but you had a lot to talk to Suji about.”

“They were just badmouthing each other. As soon as I said that it was Harvey’s fault that I couldn’t go to the after-party, Suzy unnie started swearing at that little brat.”

“Is Suzy older than you?”

“Of course it’s my older sister, since she’s older than me. And I heard that my older sister Suzy was the deputy head of the investment team for Disney’s live-action films. She got to that position in just five years after graduating from college, so she’s really amazing.”

I don’t run Disney, so I don’t know much about their corporate structure.

When I said that, he seemed to agree.

“So, I know most of the Hollywood film studios in detail. I think it will be very helpful for me when I work.”

“Well then, that’s good. When I told Valentina that I was going to buy her shares in the company, she didn’t say anything, did she?”

“Acquisition of shares? You didn’t tell me anything. What are you going to do with the Blue Rabbit shares you bought? You said you weren’t going to invest in American films.”

“I think the movie will be a hit. Once I get my money back, I plan to buy shares.”

It is unknown how successful the film will be, but it is also possible that the money invested to help it be recovered.

They continue to invest under the pretext of acquiring shares.

“It hasn’t even been released yet, so why do you think it’ll be a box office hit?”

My sister hit me in the forehead for asking such a stupid question.

“A leech like Harvey is attracted to the movie because it seems like it will be a success. He wouldn’t be attracted to someone who has nothing better to do. Even if his personality is a bit of a slob, he’s capable.”

“Even Soo-ji unnie admits that. She has an eye for movies that will be a hit.”
