I looked at the monitor, my chin on my desk .

[The opening of Fantasy War Ground with Sapphire TV is successfully completed . ]

[Sapphire TV will support Idol Management 108]

I had read so many articles over a year, I didn't need to click them; I could grasp the contents in my mind . Then I changed the search terms to 'Blue E&M'

Soon there were a few more articles .

[In the era of one-person media, European TV and Blue E&M are skyrocketing in antic.i.p.ation of a growing market . ]

[Blue E&M hit a new 52-week high . How far can it go up?]

They were about Blue E&M stock about to go well . There was no problem on the surface . No, to be precise, there was no problem at present .

'But why …? Why? Really personal? Does he need $15,000,000 for personal reasons? Or just for profit? Or is he afraid that it will go lower than now?'

Blue E&M's shares had nearly doubled since I had invested in it . Although there was a connection between Kai Games and OH Entertainment, Blue E&M rose because European TV, the frontrunner, went up . I checked the latest short stock sale through HTS . Certainly, the number of short stock sales had increased slightly in recent days . It might be said that it was simply betting on overheating, but it seemed that the timing was something strange .

'Well, if there's a good reason, he'll report to the major shareholder, our company first; but if he doesn't report… I'll find it out myself, faster than he does . '

I have drawn up a list of names of the major directors of Blue E&M, including President Ahn Yong-kyun . Now, these people would all go up to my People Search and be searched for a few days .

'Okay, so from this evening…'

It was then that the phone rang . It was Secretary Seo .

“Yes, why?”

“Well… boss . ” By the way, Secretary Seo's voice sounded a little strange .

“Why? Is something wrong?”

“No, I have a visitor . His name is Park Jang Geun . ”

I spoke in a good tone, “Oh, let him in . ”

Soon the door opened and a 190-centimeter tall man came in . I looked up at him . The two of us, eye-to-eye, grinned .

I said with my arms open, “Wow, Jang Geun! How long has it been?” I approached him and hugged him . But because he was so big, it was like hugging a statue . I patted him on the back a couple of times . His whole body was like steel . “How are you?”

He looked down at me and said, “Yes . How have you been?”

“Yes, it's as you can see . ” I beckoned to the inside of the president's office, especially the front window, which had a good view outside . Beyond that, we could see the scenery of Gangnam district at a glance . It was a symbol of success, and I turned my head and looked at him . I was not short, as my height was nearly 180 centimeters, but I needed to look up this guy .

“By the way, when did you grow up like this? When you were a middle school student, I thought you were similar or a little small…”

“Well, since I was in the third grade in middle school… after you stopped coming to the training center . I've been growing ever since . ”

“So… I remember you… when you were in elementary school, you fought with Sujin . ” In elementary school, he was also on the list of who my sister used to beat . Now he weighed more than twice as much as my younger sister . That was as it had happened .

Jang Geun smiled at the same time . “I did . Back then . ”

Looking at his smiling face, he looked just like he did when he was in elementary and middle school .

“But it's nice to see you after such a long time . ”

“So am I, brother . I really envy you being so successful like this . ”

“Haha…”

“No . Every time I drink with my friends back home, we talk about you . You are the richest man in town . Everybody is saying that you bought a building for your dad . The coach, your dad, bragged and talked a lot . ”

“Ah, yes . It was a filial duty . Sit down . ” I offered him a seat .

In the meantime, the door to the president's office was closed . It looked like Secretary Seo was watching us secretly . 'Ah, a muscular man over 190 centimeters came in… he might wonder who this is . '

I opened the door he had closed, and called Secretary Seo, who was about to sit down . “Secretary Seo . ”

“Yes?”

“Come in, you too . ”

He was going back to his original position, but he listened to me and came into the office . “Yes, boss . ”

“Secretary Seo, sit down . ”

Secretary Seo stood uncomfortably, perhaps because of Jang Geun's presence, and then sat down slightly away from him .

I introduced him to Jang Geun . “This is Park Jang Geun, my hometown junior, who used to go to my father's training center . And… What year was it? The champions.h.i.+p?”

“It was 2011 . ”

“Oh yeah . He was the silver medalist at the World Judo Champions.h.i.+p . He's working as a bodyguard now, and this is…”

I then introduced Secretary Seo . “He is my colleague . We were in the same club in college, and we were trying to start a business, and… then, this is Seo Ji Hoon, who came in as my secretary . ”

They had been close to me for a long time, but each of them had a different time zone . According to my introductions, both of them greeted one another .

“Good to see you . ”

“Good to see you . ”

They shook hands with a short greeting . It was a perfect contrast between the two now . One was a study bug who had never missed being at the top of the cla.s.s from college admission to graduation . The other was an athlete who has been evaluated as a promising athlete since middle school and had reached the world's top level .

'I wonder how the king in old times used to feel when he saw a warrior and a civil servant . ' I thought that in my mind, and spoke out to my secretary, “I've already told Jang Geun… I called in Jang Geun as a bodyguard . I don't know what's going to happen, but just for a month . ”

Secretary Seo asked me, “A bodyguard?” he asked me, with a glance at Jang Geun . “Why…? You've never said you needed a guard before?”

“Oh, well, I was just wondering if I needed something, just to protect myself . ” I didn't say anything specific . It was just my conviction, and I didn't need to make Secretary Seo nervous .

I turned my head and said, “So… Jang Geun . I want you to guard Secretary Seo and me for a month . ”

As I said, Jang Geun said in a loud voice, “Don't worry about it . ”

At the same time, Sed pointed to himself with his fingers, “Me too?”

I nodded, “Well, you're all following me all the time . If danger threatens me, it could threaten you, too . ”

'In fact, if something is threatening us, this guy will be in more danger . To be honest, I have the confidence that I could protect myself . It's been a while since I put on my Judo suit, but I still have the skills that were drummed into me . The reason I hired Jang Geun is that it's a more sure card . By breathing for ten seconds, I can earn enough to pay his salary . '

Secretary Seo scratched his forehead with his mouth closed for a moment and might be thinking, 'I could be in danger?'

I said with my hands crossed, “That's what happened anyway . I hope you two get to know each other . I think… you're about the same age?”

The two looked at each other and exchanged words .

“I'm 29 . ”

“Oh, me too . ”

“You're just the same age . Have a good relations.h.i.+p as friends . ”

“Yes, brother . ”

“… yes, boss . ”

“I'll start working today . Brother, how should I call you from now on?”

“Boss or CEO… call me one of the two . ”

“Yes, boss . ” Jang Geun had seen me since he had been very young, so the t.i.tle seemed to be a little awkward, but he soon got used to it . “What's the traffic like on your way to work? What about the car? What about the number of cars? What about your car?”

“Porsche, Lamborghini, and Bentley . ”

“Yes . ” He'd started to take full charge of security .

'There's an old saying, “If a man loses his money, there is no good person . ” If it is a money-obsessed person like Tak Joon-gi, he might have a strong grudge against me, strong enough to do something illegal . Jang Geun will protect me from him and be a good s.h.i.+eld . '

Two more days had pa.s.sed since then . Jang Geun naturally melted into the role of my bodyguard . He followed me wherever I went, and he guarded me unseen . I felt much more comfortable in his presence . Jang Geun was powerful from practicing judo, but I also liked that he was reliable, because he was my hometown junior .

I had known Jang Geun since I had been in elementary school, and his parents too . Likewise, with the opposition, Chang Geun showed a similar loyalty to me, as he regarded my father as a master and spiritual leader . I thought he was a little awkward with Seo .

And, sometimes he talked with Secretary Seo, “What's your major then?”

“I'm in economics . So Jang Geun hasn't competed again since the accident?”

Later, I saw them talking .

“It's better to eat with the boss anyway . It's mostly expensive and delicious . ”

“Oh, I see . ”

“Yes, but the boss doesn't save any money on that, so don't feel pressured . ”

“The boss may feel a little burdened if I decide to eat fully . ”

I'd even seen them talking like friends . That was good . In the past, I was sorry about leaving Secretary Seo alone, but it would be nice if the two of them got together and got to know each other .

In addition, I got a call from Ah-young from abroad .

“Oppa, I didn't think much of it, but now I'm on Wall Street in New York, and I'm thinking of you . I'm renting a car from here to Los Angeles tomorrow . ”

And I got a contact from my family . “Son, it's mom . I am very happy . Rome has so much to see . Even if I stayed here for a month, I would not see everything . It's fun to see everything and the food is so good . Thank you, son . ”

This ensured the safety of those offline . What was left now was an online fight .

'It's August 25… when the blue E&M shareholder's sale is announced…' The second-largest shareholder was required to issue a public notice within five days of the change in his stake . That meant he could sell his shares Tuesday . The 20th was not far away .

'What the h.e.l.l is his reason to sell?' I went on to track down President Ahn Yong-kyun and the directors of Blue E&M through People Search on the future news . Sometimes I wrote down my name, and on the off chance, I wrote down the name Tak Joon-gi . I was in the process of doing so when an article was caught in my hand .

“Aha, this is it!”

It was Season Two of spider hunting . Last time he cut the tail and ran away, but this time I would really be putting an end to him…
