The Youngest Son of Sunyang

I hesitated a little while touching my phone. I wasn't sure if it was right for him.

But I changed my mind. Secret work was thought to be the most fundamental of his work.

The signal rang when I pressed the phone's shortcut key. My heart is pounding.

- Yes, sir. This is Woo Byung-jun.

You still hear a single voice.

“Senior Vice President Wu. I'm Jindo Jun.”

- Yes, go ahead.

“I called you for a favor. ”

- It's not a request, it's an order, sir.

“I see. I'll give you an order then. There's an entertainment agency in Gangnam called Time Music. It's where they train the singers.

- Yes.

“Investigate the company's financial position with the president. ”

― What specifically should you be investigating?

“There are a lot of con artists in this place. You can investigate whether you're running a celebrity sponsorship business, picking up money from an investor, or an ex-con. ”

It is easy to find rich people who want to connect with celebrities in some way. Among the president of celebrity companies, there are many who focus solely on attracting these stupid rich people to invest.

It is also unusual to introduce a young woman who is reasonably packing a new group when she gets a favor and to deduct the cost of producing a record or music video.

If Sang-jun's brother works in a place like this, we have to get him out quickly.

- Do you have any further instructions?

“Yes, that's enough. ”

- Okay, it'll take about four days.

After finishing the call, I came out with a sigh of relief.

When will I get used to Wu's dry voice?

We met at a cafe near the company with Executive Director Woo Byeong-jun on the third day ahead of four days.

He pulls out a chunk of paperwork and puts it on the table.

“I couldn't find any particular reason to investigate, but it turns out that your older brother, Jin Sang-jun, used to work there. ”

“Yes. That's why I thought I might find out. ”

“There was nothing special about it. I'm not a fraud. I'm not a bully. ”

“What is your company's financial status? ”

“You're an expert on that part, so you'd better take a look. We've pulled financial transactions from the company and its president for the last five years. ”

As soon as I saw a couple of documents, I laughed. I already know it's small, but my income and expenses are low.

A typical self-satisfying business.

An amateur who takes what he likes for a living, spends less and makes a happy life, just like that.

“Not a bad reputation. who really understands the possibilities of new people and works on music for them. ”

If so, you should have succeeded already. The world of Idol has not come yet. Many idols and girl groups have succeeded, but solos are as strong as that number.

Then there's only one reason...

“This company, it's going underground. ”

Woo Byung-jun's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his original grave face.

“Yes. I don't know the exact meaning of the Underground, but I've been told I'm only looking for non-popular genres. ”

That's all I needed to know. After taking the documents, Woo Byung-jun asked.

“Is there anything else you need? ”

“Yes, this should do it. Well done."

“You're welcome. I'll get up first. ”

I got up and lowered my head a little. Uncle Wu, who was about to move his feet, must have forgotten something.

“Oh, how are the new employees? Please let me know if you're uncomfortable. ”

“No, I like it because it's all silent. ”

“That's good. Then... ”

When I saw Yoo Byung-jun's wide back leaving the cafe, I sighed.

When can I talk to him with a smile? No, is there ever a day like that?

* * *

Time Music Cho Hwang-gyu continued to move his shoulders because the suit that he had taken out for a very long time was awkward. You try to relax, but your shaky fingers don't stop at all.

“I'm here to see President Oh Se-hyun. The promise is already.... ”

“Are you the owner of Time Music? ”

The woman at the company entrance glanced at the notepad and checked.

“Yes.”

“He's waiting. This way..."

Cho Hwang-Gyu crossed the luxurious office in a tense manner. I knocked on the representative board room, and the middle-aged man smiled brightly and greeted him.

“Nice to meet you. It's a tribute.”

“Oh Se-hyun. Come, sit over here. ”

I'm starting to get more anxious with my butt on the leather couch. I'm sure Miracle was the one who contacted me first, but I don't know why I was more nervous...

Cho Hwang-Gyu thought that in order to get rid of this anxiety, he needed to confirm his curiosity first.

“Oh, Jules. Honestly, I'm speechless. I knew that Miracle Investments was a huge investment company through a post-call Internet search with you. ”

“Oh my, you don't know an investor who runs an entertainment company? ”

I asked again with a surprised expression that President Oh Se-hyun.

“Oh, because I thought investing wouldn't have anything to do with me. ”

“You're not even thinking about getting invested? ”

I was stabbed to death with nothing to say. Oh Se-hyun smiled and began to talk as soon as Cho Hwan shut his mouth.

“Let me cut to the chase and get this straight. ”

“Yes.”

“Miracle is going to invest in time music. ”

“Yes? Our company? ”

“Yes, let's meet your industry rules. So Joe, you might want to take a look around your local promoter and figure out the universal investment terms. because you need to make sure that the terms we propose are in line with your industry rules. Do you understand?”

“Oh, yes. ”

“The first investment is two billion. ”

“Two billion…? ”

Cho Hwang-gyu momentarily doubted his ears. An unbelievable amount. Then another suspicion creeps up the Smell.

What's the matter with you?

“Yes. Is it small? ”

“Oh, no, that's not... ”

“You need to focus on the first one rather than the second two billion. because if it works out, you can invest 20 billion dollars. ”

Cho Hwang-gyu tried to recall the dream he had last night. I can't remember, but it must have been a dream to go up to heaven with a pig farm or dragon owner.

“There is only one additional condition that I offer. ”

Cho Hwan Kyu woke up and listened to the conditions that would flow from Oh Se-hyun's mouth.

“Never feed an indie band, an underground singer, with our two billion dollars. That's for you to take care of. ”

“Well, then? ”

“They say it costs 500 to a billion to raise a new girl group. Is that correct?"

“I don't know... But I heard a lot of money broke down. ”

“Build two teams with 2 billion. It's a girl group. If you run an event right now, you make a lot of money. Right? So we need to raise new people to make money. ”

“But I don't intend to expand my business there. It's not my vision. ”

As he continued to stutter, his face became stiff and his polite tone began to change.

“Mr. Jo. ”

“Yes.”

“Why don't you think about it and answer? You just missed it. I picked up a pile of gold along the way! ”

Cho Hwang-Gyu was tensed again by the look of Oh Se-hyun staring intensely.

“I make a lot of money doing good business with that gold. And with that money, you can build your favorite indie band or underground musician. You need to know how to keep your hobbies and business separate. Isn't that right?”

Hobby.

Joe was frustrated to see his business as just a hobby, but it was also hard to refute, given the size of the company Miracle.

“Our Miracle US headquarters invests heavily in movies. Did you know?”

“Oh, no. ”

“I invest mostly in Hollywood blockbuster movies, but I also invest a lot in independent films and art films. This one blows up most of the money he invests. And you know why you keep investing? ”

“ ……. ”

“That's how the whole movie gets better. New actors in independent films, young directors in art films. These people go into commercial films. This keeps going, and Hollywood's getting better. ”

Oh Se-hyun's voice softened a little.

“I looked into Joe's reputation. I can see it. I can see it. I can use it to find kids with commercial and stars. And raise an idol, a girl group, a ballad singer, a star. I'll give you as much money as you want. Don't worry. Can't you just do art with the money that a star raised like that makes? Is this really that hard to figure out? ”

Cho Hwang-Gyu was unable to speak for a long time. While he was keeping silence, Oh Se-hyun was also silently waiting.

Finally, the condolences opened their mouths.

“Can I ask you a question? ”

“Whatever.”

“Why are you investing in me? There are a lot of idol promoters in Gangnam. You could invest in one of those, and I'm curious as to why you chose our company in a completely different direction. ”

“I told you, you're fired. ”

“So why did I get caught up? ”

“Did you hire a new recruit for your company? It's Sang-jun Jin.”

“Yes. I'm from study abroad... ”

“He's my best friend's son. ”

“Ah…! ”

It wasn't because of last night's dream. The dragon for the door was the new PD.

“I went to study abroad in a household without living, and it turned out that I had booked a life that was not so bad. But what can I do? I can't stop him from doing what he wants to do. ”

“Is that why you're investing? Because of your friend's son? ”

“Why is it important? To throw away the best chance you've ever had? ”

“That's not it. ”

“So it's more important that you think about how to grow your business in the future than why. ”

After thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth carefully.

“If I accept the investment.... ”

Even before I finished speaking, I heard the sound of the pain of Oh Se-hyun.

“Do you really think I'd leave my friend's son under a stupid boss who would throw away a thousandfold opportunity like this? I'm gonna grab him by the collar and drag him out. I'd better start a company! ”

I meant it.

Even now, Sang-jun was eager to grab hold of my neck and pull me out of this company.

Amateurs...!

Sang-jun's curiosity about standing alone was that he wanted to actively help his brother, so he decided to invest a precious time for someone like Joe.

“Oh, one more thing. ”

He was bowing his head to the pain of Oh Se-hyun, and slowly lifted his face.

“It's no secret to Sang-jun that I'm investing. If she finds out about this, she might resign right now. Sang-jun's pride is the same as the master of the chaebol house. ”

Cho Hwang-gyu, who had a firm mind, suddenly got up.

“Thank you for your opportunity for any reason. Jules, I will do my best not to let this opportunity go to waste. ”

“That's good thinking. Time Music will be curated by our company experts. Joe will be able to devote himself to discovering talented newcomers and making good music. Trust me."

“Yes. Teach me a lot. ”

Seeing Joe's boss leavin 'his elongated head, Oh Se-hyun secretly shook his tongue.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. My father, my brother. Poor bastard. ”

Oh Se-hyun momentarily forgot about Jindo Jun's birth as the grandson of Korea's wealthiest.
