[223]Should be caught 3
“Chief. I heard that people from the broadcasting station came in droves, but they already promised… is that right?”
Deputy manager Kim Yoon-seok, holding a mobile phone, looked at me unexpectedly and said,
“Was that today?”
“yes?”
“Oh right. Let them do whatever they want.”
The three people in the car on their way to work couldn’t speak, but they seemed to want me to tell them why the people at the broadcasting company were flocking to them.
In particular, Kim Yoon-seok, who was sitting next to him, had his own job as an assistant secretary, but he didn’t know what it was about, so he looked embarrassed.
“It’s not a big deal. I couldn’t refuse because it was my father’s request. I’ll just do a brief interview and finish.”
However, my room on the 24th floor of the main building in Sunyang was full of people.
It doesn’t seem like a simple interview. Because it was a variety show, there were only four cameras.
In particular, the young staff were busy looking around the offices of presidents of large corporations, which they had only seen in dramas.
Of course, it was the first time for the 3rd generation chaebol, so they started whispering while looking at me.
“nice to see you.”
The PD, who seemed a bit nervous, smiled brightly and held out his business card.
“I hope you get a good screen shot. Will the picture turn out well? haha.”
“Ah yes. I hope you do well.”
“Don’t worry. It will pull it off nicely.”
While setting up the lighting and camera, I also started doing makeup.
Thanks to my father, I even powdered my face.
I don’t know where I prepared it, but a pretty female reporter wearing makeup that looked two or three times thicker than me smiled and bowed her head.
It looks like I’ve seen it somewhere, but I don’t know who it is.
Maybe it’s because it’s still a weak cable TV show, so I think we cast celebrities who aren’t very well-known.
“Now shall we begin?”
The PD’s cue sign dropped and the camera rolled.
* * *
The interview, which was said to take three or four hours, was over in less than an hour.
All the people at the broadcasting company packed up and left with five rounds of mouths coming out of their mouths.
“Are you okay? You said it was at your father’s request?”
Assistant manager Kim Yoon-seok also had a better expression than a broadcasting station employee, but not a lesser one.
“Did Assistant Manager Kim look a little like that?”
“yes. Even to me, who doesn’t know much about broadcasting, I could see that he was passionate about promoting the Sunyang Group.”
“I’m going to hear what my father said about this…”
Sure enough, about two hours after the broadcasters left, the cell phone rang loudly.
– hey! what are you interviewing for today?
My father’s voice broke out at once.
“yes?”
―Are you an employee of the public relations department of Sunyang Group?
“What are you talking about…?”
Pretending not to know why, he let go of his pretense.
– I just watched the filming. After all, our Sunyang Group, Sunyang Life Insurance, and Sunyang Securities. Where does this bastard sell drugs?
“Actually, that’s…”
– Noisy! For some reason, I was suspicious when I said there was no need to look at the contents of the pre-interview. Hey man, is this broadcast a billboard?
“That’s it. The interview was too much for questions about personal life.”
– It’s done. Let’s finish editing and talk again. It’s obvious that the quantity won’t come out, so be prepared. I’ll take a picture again if I have to!
After ending the call, Assistant Manager Kim Yoon-seok said worriedly.
“You look very angry, are you okay?”
“are you okay. Even my father is condescending because of the crying PD next to him. The PD who came today is probably going to be fired.”
Assistant Manager Kim widened her eyes at me as I smiled and said.
“yes?”
“You don’t know what will happen when you work, don’t you? The person in charge must show wisdom to overcome such difficulties. If I say something different from the PD’s intention, the script should have been corrected on the spot. Didn’t he give up and go back because it didn’t flow in the direction he wanted? That’s not what a leader looks like.”
A dozen staff members moved and made a fuss. My father’s broadcasting company is proof that talents of the public broadcasting level have not yet gathered.
My father leads the best production team in Korea and produces films with first-class actors. I can guess who was more angry with the PD, me and the father, who went through more bloody scenes every day.
But there were also things I hadn’t guessed.
This is the father’s quick-wittedness, which has been rolling over for over ten years at the film production site, where unexpected things always happen.
About an hour after the phone call ended, my father called again.
― You got 6 minutes, man.
“That would be enough for a teaser trailer, right?”
Also my prediction was right.
Instead of the father who was angry just a moment ago, he has returned to his original father who always smiles and speaks.
– trailer? Originally, it should have been 20 minutes. 14 more minutes to fill!
“You’re not saying you’re going to do another interview, are you?”
– Are you crazy? I’m pretty sure you know what your guy is thinking. I have to fill that gap with interviews with other people. Recruitment has already been done. The production team also left to follow the interview hehe.
A smirk of laughter.
something was won
“Who did you recruit? Anyone I know…?”
– huh. It will be a very hot topic. A new judge who was promoted to the Seoul Central District Court, an important position in the judiciary, with excellent grades at the training institute while attending school.
huh? This? no way?
“Oh father!”
I screamed in surprise, but my father held back his laughter and continued talking.
― A woman with good looks that anyone can recognize, especially a lucky woman who has a third-generation conglomerate as her boyfriend. Would this be more talked about than you? Oh, maybe her name is Seo Min-young?
“Wouldn’t the Burr court allow it? How does an incumbent judge go on a variety show?”
– What does he see me as? dude are you ignoring me? If you are the 3rd generation chaebol, I am the 2nd generation. Do you think I don’t have that kind of connections? The chief of the court also said that I wish you well. He said that he wanted to publicize it as a friendly judiciary that is close to the citizens. Anyway, the production team hurrayed that the picture was good. Couples always attract viewers haha.
I never imagined that the time would come when my father would stab me in the back.
* * *
“I enjoyed the broadcast. hey! My nephew is a broadcast face. Celebrity halo is just… awesome? And are you a lover? that judge? My nephew and couple are all in a frenzy because they chose the wrong job.”
“I’m already embarrassed to be teased these days, so what if my uncle does that too? Shall we just go?”
As I lifted myself up with a smile, Daehyun Group Chairman Joo Kwang-sik grabbed my wrist.
“Where are you going? Save me and go.”
We exchanged jokes, but Chairman Joo Kwang-shik’s face showed that he was burning up right now. It was as if I was looking at dry fallen leaves, probably not sleeping well.
“Does it seem difficult to recover? Didn’t you get a blood transfusion?”
“I don’t have rich nephews. Even the financial sector is looking for a way to live, so the name Daehyun doesn’t even come through.”
“Isn’t that what the brothers blocked?”
“The impact is great. My big brother is not going to miss this opportunity.”
Rumors that Daehyeon Motors Chairman Joo Tae-shik is making all-out efforts to drive out all his younger siblings have already spread in the business world.
“By the way, how did your nephew foresee?”
“What do you mean?”
“Card crisis. Then my nephew sold the company and I bought it. It is clear whose choice was right.”
“It was a matter of taste, not foresight.”
I pretended to pretend, but the suspicious look did not disappear.
“I heard that I had all kinds of fun, but is it true? I heard that the uncle of the two of you got into trouble?”
“no. All I did was get the bonds. Miracle saw the fun.”
“Isn’t that your work? Did it go that way?”
“no. I only intervened.”
For a moment, Chairman Joo Kwang-shik’s eyes twinkled.
“Can you intervene one more time?”
I can hear this man screaming vividly. I kept my lips firmly shut for a moment and looked at Chairman Joo’s expression.
How far have you driven? The closer you are pushed to the edge of the cliff, the better conditions you can get.
“well. Miracle also took over the cruiser card, so you won’t regret it. And investing a lot of money in the card business is not an easy decision. CEO Oh Se-hyun is the type to build internal stability rather than expand the external appearance. Aren’t you a professional manager of an investment company? He believes that the interests of investors come first.”
“Investors are people who expand as long as the output is good. So is my nephew? Wouldn’t you buy endlessly if you were sure the stock price would go up?”
“Yeah, that’s right. However, everything about Daehyeon Card is uncertain. No, I am not afraid.”
“Instead, there will be less input, so it will be a good condition. Just settle the debt.”
“Only the debt?”
This is a good condition. The value of Daehyeon Card, which will be retained when the economy recovers, is not included in the acquisition price.
“okay. I poured a lot of affiliate money into Daehyun Card. If you just solve that, I think I’ll be able to breathe a little bit.
“How much is the affiliate’s debt?”
“Isn’t that what you need to know? I want to tell CEO Oh Se-hyun directly. Showing my private parts to my nephew hurts my pride.”
Oops, you have to be careful.
On the surface, I am not the owner of Miracle. It should only play the role of mediator.
“But don’t you want to throw words at least if you know the approximate amount? Do you want me to meet you unconditionally? To be honest, isn’t that difficult for you, too? If Daehyeon Group Chairman Joo Kwang-sik asks for a cup of tea, who will refuse?”
“Is that so? Still, it’s more comfortable for someone I know to let go.”
He suddenly showed a look of bewilderment.
Was this something to be embarrassed about?
I looked at his expression and eyes carefully again. There seems to be something to hide.
“Anyway, I understand. I will convey your wishes to CEO Oh. But my guess would be to start by checking the debt amount. If it is not an appropriate amount, CEO Oh will not even think about meeting him. Why bother blushing in person for a deal that will break anyway?”
“That I promise. Representative Oh, there will be no blushing. haha.”
The face brightens again.
This man must have other plans.
* * *
“I inquired with the Blue House and related ministries, and they are favorable.”
Vice President Jang Do-hyung tilted his head and unfolded the papers.
“You mean there is no direct intervention, like issuing compulsory orders?”
“yes. Daehyun Card has already submitted a self-rescue plan and is faithfully implementing the plan. New members are not the same as they used to be, not only through the removal of bad members, but also through strengthened screening.”
“How is your finances?”
“Financial debt has not yet been settled. No one knows the details of the subsidiaries’ funding. It seems to have been exchanged between top executives.”
“Or there is no such fact…”
“Yes?”
“no. Thank you for your effort Oh, please continue the investigation. I need to know everything about Daehyeon Card.”
“yes. But, chief. If the conditions are right, do you plan to take over Daehyun Card?”
“What do you think, Vice President?”
“I feel uneasy because I feel like I am carrying a stale lump.”
“yes. Let’s decide carefully.”
something suspicious It’s definitely not a situation where you’re going to crumple your pride and cling to me.
As long as the doubts were not resolved, I ignored Chairman Joo Kwang-shik’s request. I didn’t make an appointment with Oh Se-hyun and didn’t contact him.
As long as my doubts do not disappear, I have to make Chairman Joo Kwang-sik nervous.
That way, when we meet again, there will be no difference in how we look at each other.
