After 12 Hours

True or False (2)

“Almost there. Ms. Grant”

In Jihoon's voice, I raised my head.

“Hmm?"

Outside, you see a luxury car standing in a row. This is our parking lot. I didn't even know what I was thinking.

“Ah... you're here. ”

“You're all close in the beginning. With the company and the house."

“Yes... I suppose...”

I nodded, but I didn't want to come down, and sat still for a while. It's been about a decade. Ji-hoon asked me.

“Mr. moon?”

He said, "I'm home, aren't you getting off? ’It seems that the words are omitted. I told him.

“Ji-hoon. ”

“Yes, sir."

“Today... you have a meeting. ”

“Yes, sir."

“It's a little... weird, isn't it? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“You know, back then, When I asked the chairman. Why did I sell this company? ”

“Ah... you mean back then? Well, I had a couple of ideas. ”

“What?”

“First of all, I'm going to ask you about buying 20 billion things. Second, knowing why, it was a little too much to ask. ”

That said, I laughed bloody.

‘The rumour was devastating to the entertainment community. ’

That was the message you gave me. However, Ji-hoon was reading my feelings correctly.

“But you were the one who threw the first punch. Hahaha. Let's see if you can do it well. Hahaha. ”

I said with a fucking smile.

“Did you hear that, too? ”

“Yes, 100%. Maybe that's what Jean heard. He pretended to be polite, but then he was a little snake. ”

I was right. ‘It looks like a snake.’ Then I am even more questionable.

“Of course. At that time. Did you hear my voice tremble when I asked and answered that question? ”

“Oh, yeah. I was surprised, too. I didn't know it when I heard it, but it must have been quite a shock. ”

I asked him a key question.

“But that voice was trembling. Was it real?”

“Yes?”

Ji-hoon didn't seem to think it was a fake at all.

“No, I was a little sad when I heard it, but now that I think about it... should I say it was weird? Think about it. At that age, I felt like... expressing myself... in front of my subordinates... was impossible for me. ”

Ji-hoon nods with his lips together.

“Well... is that so? ”

Ji-hoon didn't quite understand my story. I had just heard the sound of the boss, but the company's president was not so light.

“Yes. I don't think I can do that in front of the rest of the staff unless I'm alone with you. ”

“Well, that's what I thought. By the way, that's what I thought. He's got a trembling voice, but he's got a really thick voice. ”

I was like that, too.

“Oh, right. Come to think of it, he's a singer. You know, manipulating your voice...”

I said that and then I suddenly thought to him.

“Wait. Did the owner of the pottery ever play? ”

“I don't know, maybe you did? ”

We both don't know. We were middle school students in the '90s when he was active. We both searched for "Chopsticks" by lifting our phones without first having to do anything. The profile shows that he was acting once. He was not a chapter, he was a short lead, and he played both roles in the miniseries. I did a search using the name' North of Eden ’as the lead fragment.

North of Eden.

News coming soon. News from 10 years ago.

"North of Eden, in the smoke."

‘Director Kim Sung-kyung, Chan-ki Ho-pyeong. I like all the smoke. "

A full-time actor challenge? Validate Great Skills’

Before I said anything, Ji-hoon said first.

“Oh, you've been acting. And the accent?”

“Yeah. He was pretty talented at acting, too. ”

“I looked up the article... and I tried to act, but I guess I just stopped blabbing about how I was going to set up the planner." ”

“Well... you're good at acting... Ji-hoon. If what he said back then was a lie, wouldn't there be something fatal going on inside the company? ”

Then it's a big problem. Maintaining the rank of Diamonds requires controlling one listed company. If something goes wrong inside, you may be forced to be demoted.

“Maybe... but you said it was clean in accounting. Vice President Jang has checked too many times because he seems to be selling too fast. ”

“Well...”

I stroked my chin for a moment and thought about it.

"If it's an entertainment company... it could be about people, not accounting. ’

I think so. I decided to start an entertainment company in the first place, because it was all about people talking. But when I think about it, I have a natural idea.

Is it possible that he's gay? ’

*

When I returned home, I turned on my computer and typed "Chopsticks" into the portal site. Most rise is when he was in the '90s. These are the songwriters who sang during their heyday. I went to the news. The knight I was looking for was then.

"CKD Entertainment Ceremony Representative, he is gay."

But the article was gone.

I heard you filed a lawsuit, so you dropped it? ’

I searched for 'cold presses’. But there was no news that he filed a complaint.

Um...

There's something fishy about it.

"What if he's a homosexual? ’

I tried the scenario under the premise.

‘It's only a matter of time before the story blows up and the press don't talk about it. Then you can't retain your position as CEO anyway. Then before that. Selling to beginner investors who are new to entertainment. It's a lie to say that the entertainment industry is humiliating. No, you can't stay in the entertainment industry. ’

When I opened my eyes, I thought a little more.

‘Then why did President Kwon Oh Hyuk do it? ’

I searched for 'Kwon Oh Hyuk Choon Ki’. There's news again.

"Found OH entertainment, President Kwon Oh Hyuk."

I clicked on the article. There I could see the relationship between the two.

"Kim Oh Hyuk, who used to be the manager of a famous singer, Tochangi..."

“Ah…”

Then it all makes sense. If President Kwon Oh Hyuk was the manager of the dinner, he would also know that he was gay. So he's...

‘Even my old fans turned around and insulted me. I was then... wounded beyond words. ’

When he lied, his conscience condemned him and he bent his head and slapped his fingers. Then it all makes sense.

‘The chef is right. That article wasn't wrong. ’

But when I think of it that way, the president of Chongqi Province

"I'm not a gay guy for CKD's luncheon.

Tricking the public.

"I've... been close to the entertainment industry for 30 years, but I've never been so shocked. ’

I was lying, too.

Is he for real? ’

If the hypothesis is true, the contract may need to be reviewed fundamentally. CKD is a company named after itself. Homosexuality is not a big mistake, but it is a big lie for 30 years in a disguise marriage. To shake the whole company. But I don't want to break the deal.

Once this CKD enterprise was a good company on the surface. Oh Hyun-Su's OH entertainment was performing well. Plus, I've been working on it for three months, but if you give up now, your promotion to Diama will be too far away. I don't know when other entertainment companies will come out as property

‘So how do we do this? ’

I suddenly thought of the news company that wrote that article. It is famous for its celebrity sniper knights, Keystone Media.

‘You'd know the truth if you were there...' I don't know how to get in touch with Keystone Media. ’

No matter what I thought, I called my assistant right away.

“Yes, boss."

“Ji-hoon, you know that keystone media? ”

“I know. Isn't that the sportsman or the celebrity gossip company? ”

Ji-hoon doesn't seem to know that he shot the first torch there. Well, that was three months ago.

“Yes. Tell them to call and talk to our company. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“Oh, right. If you just tell me, I can't understand you. Plus, our company is about to make an investment of KRW 21 billion, and that's CKD entertainment. ”

“Yes, sir. Ms. Grant”

If my scenario is real, Keystone Media will be in touch. Otherwise, I got a call from my assistant shortly after 10 minutes.

“Ms. Grant, that's weird. I was just saying what my boss said... and he's coming to my company tomorrow. It's 10: 00 a.m.”

I'm stuck.

“Oh, yeah? Who's the reporter? ”

“No, I'm not a journalist... I didn't tell you about the position, but what... decision maker is coming?" ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

If you are a decision maker, a high ranking person will come in any position.

“Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at 10: 00. ”

“Yes, sir."

*

I looked up at the clock. 9: 50. You have 10 minutes with Keystone Media today. When I met him, I was going to buy definite proof that Chongqi was gay. I live and renegotiate with it. Waving the weaknesses around was a little despicable, but he also tried to hide them and hand them over to me.

Knock, knock.

With a knock outside, you hear the secretary's voice.

“Ms. Grant, this is the guest you promised. ”

“Yes, let me in. ”

I got up from my seat and prepared for guests. The door opens, someone walks in, and I...

Uh...

I almost screamed. The person who came in had sharp, big eyes and a sharp nose with a ruler in it. He also stared at me for a while. It was because he was the ‘Kaiji’ I saw in Garden Envy. The two of us knew each other for a moment, but the secretary was watching. I shook his hand first and said,

“Nice to meet you. This is Han Sang-hoon, President of Envictus Investments. ”

Then he took my hand and said,

“Nice to meet you. I'm Lee Won-Jae, Director of the crew. ”
