Chapter 218

Director Jung . Ive been waiting for quite a while, you know?

Director Jung HyunTae didnt know what Richards intentions were .

Originally, they agreed that Richard was not going to do much here, but he stepped up now This wasnt within his plans .

No matter how incompetent he was though, he did have some discerning eyes .

Richard smiled and urged Director Jung HyunTae .

Hahaha . It looks like you were caught up in talking about past events . Wont you introduce him to me?

The flow of the conversation was interrupted thanks to Richards interruption .

KangYoon and Lee HyunJi whispered to each other .

Looks like he isnt ordinary .

I think so too .

Just as the two whispered to each other, Director Jung HyunTae cleared his throat and introduced Richard to the two .

This person is Richard Tracson, and hes the greatest investor to our company . Branch president, this is

Along with Director Jung HyunTaes introduction, KangYoon and Lee HyunJi shook hands with Richard .

h.e.l.lo, Im Lee KangYoon .

h.e.l.lo there . You can call me Richard . I heard a lot about you . Although the relations.h.i.+p between MG and World is complicated, Ive always wanted to meet you .

Richard smiled .

His expression, though, contained a hint of coldness .

Regardless, KangYoon smiled as he replied .

Your Korean is really good . Although MG and World have different goals, I hope we can continue to be in a good relations.h.i.+p .

I tried my best to learn . I hope we get along . Ill invite you out sometime .

Although they both had smiles on their faces, sparks could be seen between the two .

Turning around, KangYoon and Lee HyunJi discussed the impression they got from Richard .

This man named Richard, I can feel somethings cold about him . I personally find him scary .

KangYoon agreed to Lee HyunJis words .

I think so too . I got the impression that theres something hidden behind that smile of his .

Maybe Im biased since hes an investor in MG but I dont think hes an easy person to deal with . Director Jung HyunTae was easy to deal with since I could basically read what hes up to but that Richard guy doesnt show what hes thinking at all I think we need to be careful of him . We dont know what hes up to by investing in MG either .

KangYoon nodded in agreement .

The party continued after that .

Lee HyunJi and KangYoon greeted various people .

Many people that were invited to the party wished to meet KangYoon and KangYoon did not reject anyone . Thanks to that, he was able to get to know a lot of people and he gained a lot of information as well .

Not long later, KangYoon was able to find President Kang s.h.i.+Myoung in one corner .

He, unlike everyone else, brought Jin HyeYoung of Wincle, a new group, rather than someone from their most famous group, Cranbugs .

Oh, President Lee . Its been a long time .

President Kang s.h.i.+Myoung extended his right hand out as he greeted KangYoon .

No matter how much of an eyesore KangYoon was, he couldnt show that here .

Next to him, Jin HyeYoung, who was eating some vegetables, also took a deep bow .

KangYoon replied with a smile and talked about China, a hot topic for everyone here .

I heard that you were going to China .

Haha, youre quick to the news . We are moving around quite busily . Oh, does World have any plans to go to China as well?

President Kang s.h.i.+Myoungs eyes gleamed .

President Choo ManJi alone was a strong compet.i.tor . If KangYoon decided to step in as well

Fortunately, KangYoon shook his head .

It would be a lie to say that I dont have any plans, but it wont be happening for the foreseeable future . Hm .

You dont have any plans right now? Right now seems like the biggest opportunity .

Of course, he was just probing him out .

KangYoon replied with a smile .

Even if its the biggest opportunity, it will be the worst opportunity if I decide to jump in without any preparations .

Hahaha . I learned something new today .

KangYoon had no foreseeable plan to go to China .

Now I just have to push YoonSeul out of the picture .

He had heard that MG had no plans to go to China either .

As long as DiaTeen was out of the picture, he would be able to monopolize the huge Chinese market .

Just as he was fantasizing, KangYoons gaze turned around to where JooAh and Jung MinAh were .

But it didnt seem that normal there .

Heheheheh . Unni~ .

Wh, whats wrong with you? Hey .

KangYoon could see that a lady wearing a black dress was trying to hug the lady with the white dress .

Those girls?

Jung MinAh, with a rather flushed face, was trying to hug JooAh, while JooAh was trying her best to break away from her .

It was clear that some alcohol had a role in this .

He apologized to President Kang s.h.i.+Myoung and headed towards the two .

JooAh, MinAh . What are you two doing?

Oppa, youre here! This girls completely out of her mind .

Whoaaa? Ajji, its the ajji I like . (T/N: Ajji shes basically slurring ahjussi . )

Jung MinAh, who was in JooAhs arms, ran into KangYoons arms immediately after she saw him .

He wasnt able to hide his shock in this situation .

MinAh? Whats wrong with you? Are you drunk?

Druuuunk? Nooo, Im completely fiiiiine . Hehehe .

MinAh was creating an embarra.s.sing scene in front of many eyes .

Although not many people had seen them yet, KangYoon was worried .

KangYoon called out to Lee HyunJi who wasnt far away .

She was surprised to see what was happening and hurried towards them .

I think Ill have to take MinAh home first . Please take care of the aftermath so that no one talks about this in the future .

Lee HyunJi nodded at KangYoons request .

Okay . But there arent any drinks here with high alcohol content, but shes turned into a koala now . No, maybe a panda suits her better? Pfft .

Lee HyunJi giggled as Jung MinAh had locked her hands around KangYoon as to never let him go .

While JooAh and Lee HyunJi were giggling, KangYoon was not in a good mood .

MinAh, MinAh? Let go of me first and . .

Hehehehehehe . Dis ish good . Itsh the ajji I like .

Seeing KangYoon sweating profusely, JooAh was laughing out loud .

Hahahaha . Oh man . My stomach hurts .

KangYoon sighed a little before lifting Jung MinAh . It was the so-called princess carry .

Oooh, youre quite strong, oppa .

JooAh joked with KangYoon .

KangYoon-oppa .

What is it?

Dont do something indecent .

Hey .

KangYoon frowned and hurried to the parking lot .

Some people looked at him and Lee HyunJi immediately went up to them and started talking .

***

FinesTok, located in a building in Geumcheon digital district, was getting bigger and bigger .

As the number of users increased, the companys scale was getting larger and larger as well .

In this situation, FinesTok was putting its effort into launching its music service .

So were being stopped at the final moment .

President Ha SeYeon clutched her head while reading the report in her office .

Senior chief Jeon HyungTaek, who was responsible for business related to the music service, continued his report with a grim voice .

The existing music distributors, that is, the telecommunication companies, are objecting to our launch . All of those companies are saying that they will not provide their services if someone works with FinesToks music service .

Isnt that considered collusion? If we went into a lawsuit oh .

She was almost reckless, but she soon calmed down .

A lawsuit was a long process . Although FinesTok was getting bigger, they were still lacking compared to bigger companies .

If we raise the ratio of our shares to 40%, then wed be no more compet.i.tive than others the distribution is holding us back at the last moment . Alright . Looks like I should talk with World first . Okay, Senior chief Jeon, you can do what you were doing .

Understood . Ill first tell the developer team to keep programming per the original design .

Yes .

After Senior chief Jeon HyungTaek left, President Ha SeYeon fell back on her chair .

Just whats so good about this music business? Sheesh, it isnt easy to break the norms .

Her sighs filled the office .

***

Even during his manager days, where everything was a war with time, KangYoon rarely drove past the speed limit .

He never made a situation where he needed to drive fast, and if such things happened, he tried to look for faster routes . KangYoon put a lot of effort into providing a safe and fast service for the celebrity he was in charge of .

Thanks to that, his driving habits were very gentle .

However, today was an exception .

Vrooooom!

Hehehehehe! Go, go!~~ I love you~ I love you my president~ I love youuu~~

Ugh .

KangYoon was barely calm while listening to the screeches coming from Jung MinAh .

His GPS navigation repeatedly told him to slow down, but KangYoon ignored all of them .

My ahjussi, ah, youre so pretty

MinAh, Im driving!

Ah~n Lets go somewhere good . Who cares~ .

Speaking some scary words, Jung MinAh, who was on the back seat, tried to hug KangYoon .

Even though her eyes were practically out of focus, she didnt seem like she would go to sleep anytime soon with all her energy .

Thanks to that, KangYoon had to stop midway several times and take her off him .

Heheheheh .

*Sigh* .

Jung MinAh clung to him like a child .

The faint smell of alcohol as well as the faint smell of shampoo tickled his nose, but that all didnt matter to him .

Thankfully, there was an end to his agony .

After wrestling with her for over two hours, KangYoon was able to take her to her residence .

MinAh, lets get off .

Hehehehehe .

Jung MinAh jumped right into his arms .

Fine, sheesh .

KangYoon carried Jung MinAh into the residence .

There!

Having made it to Jung MinAhs room, KangYoon practically threw her on the bed like he was throwing luggage .

His throw contained his frustration towards her .

She fell asleep as soon as she was in bed, as though nothing had happened .

KangYoon powerlessly walked out of her room and sat on the sofa .

Fuu, there just had to be no one at the residence at a time like this

KangYoon sighed as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead .

Murphys law said that there was no one at the residence today

Krrrhhhhh .

KangYoon laughed hearing the rough(?) breath noise coming from the room .

Alcohol turned that girl strange . Just what did she drink? Phew .

It wasnt that Jung MinAh was bad with alcohol .

Moreover, she was aware that todays event was an important one, so she should have been careful .

Just why did she cause such a disturbance?

While he thought about many things the empty residence entered his eyes .

It feels rather cold here, maybe because theres no one here?

Eddioss residence was always bustling .

Now that everyone was given leave after the traffic accident, it was rather empty right now .

Thanks to that, Jung MinAh was all alone .

KangYoon went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator .

Theres some food at least . I guess its enough for one meal .

KangYoon then had a look at Jung MinAhs room again .

Shes had it hard being all alone in a place like this .

Of course, that didnt mean that she wasnt in the wrong for todays incident . This and that was separate .

After thinking for a while, KangYoon took out his phone .

Looks like I should have HeeYoon help out .

***

The next day .

Jung MinAh twitched due to the sunlight s.h.i.+ning through her window and opened her eyes .

Ugh

Her head started aching .

I remember drinking with JooAh-unni yesterday did the party go well? Huh?

She was remembering what happened yesterday until she heard the sound of chopping outside her room .

Today wasnt the day where the caretaker would visit, so Jung MinAh opened her door while rubbing her eyes .

The person she saw in the kitchen was someone completely unexpected .

HeeYoon-unni?

You woke up?

Jung MinAhs eyes widened, but HeeYoon, wearing an ap.r.o.n, continued chopping vegetables as though nothing happened .

Unni, what brings you here so early in the morning?

Well, lets talk about that later, shall we? Why dont you go wash up? Ill have breakfast ready .

HeeYoon made doenjang-jjigae and some side dishes .

As Jung MinAh rarely had home-made meals, she was touched .

Unni youre the best . Im touched .

Jung MinAh ate greedily .

The jangjorim and the doenjang-jjigae were fantastic .

She was happy .

Unni, seconds .

Jung MinAh kept on eating without a word .

A while later .

Feeling full, she made a smile of satisfaction .

Fuah . Thanks for the meal! Thank you, unni .

Youre welcome . Here, give me the dishes .

What? No . Ill wash the dishes

Jung MinAh said she would do the dishes, but HeeYoon pointed at the table .

You see that laptop over there? Theres a video on it .

A video? About what?

Watch it and visit my brother .

Jung MinAh, who was rather worried because parts of her memories from last night were missing, nodded her head and went to see the video .

Is this it?

She played the file that was t.i.tled Jung MinAh video, which was the only file on the desktop .

When she did, the video about how she clung on to KangYoon while he was still driving, started being played .

Wh, wh, wh what is THIS!?

Jung MinAhs eyes turned into that of shock .

Her own self was clinging onto KangYoon while uttering nonsensical gibberish .

All filmed .

Did, did I make a mistake yesterday?

The sky suddenly turned yellow .

She was supposed to be representing the company at the part!

Jung MinAh quickly got ready to get out and headed to World Entertainment .

When she arrived at the office, Lee HyunJi told him that KangYoon was on the rooftop and she hastily walked up to the rooftop .

Ah, ahjussi!

Slamming open the door, she called out to KangYoon who was looking down from the rooftop .

KangYoon waved at her and she hastily walked towards him .

As soon as she walked up to him, she immediately bowed .

Im so sorry! You had to go through much because of me

It was clear that an important event was ruined thanks to her .

Alcohol! The alcohol was the problem .

Then, KangYoon sighed before speaking .

Yeah, you should be .

. .

Just how much did you drink yesterday?

It was just four gla.s.ses of c.o.c.ktail I, Im sure of it .

What c.o.c.ktail?

Jung MinAh then spoke with a whisper-like voice .

Uhm Blue something? It was some kinda jewel it was so tasty so I heheh .

Jung MinAh stuck out her tongue in embarra.s.sment .

Blue Sapphire? The drinks that appeared yesterday were all expensive . I think they all had high alcohol content

Is that so? Maybe thats why I started feeling good and my memories stop there .

KangYoon sighed .

Thankfully, Lee HyunJi managed to take care of the aftermath so that no one talked about it . If Jung MinAh accidentally did something?

KangYoon glared at Jung MinAh .

MinAh . Although nothing bad happened this time . Yesterday is a mistake, right?

Yes . Im reflecting .

Jung MinAh became dejected, but KangYoon shook his head as he continued .

Although nothing much happened, I dont want to see this happening again . We were representing our company there . I hope you understand the significance of it .

Yes . Im sorry .

Okay . Thats enough .

KangYoon no longer told her off .

He had faith that Jung MinAh would not do such a thing again .

He smiled and switched topics .

Was breakfast good?

What? Yes . HeeYoon-unnis cooking was the best .

Come around next time for a meal . It must be boring for you to be all alone at the residence .

Yes .

Jung MinAh looked down . She felt sorry and embarra.s.sed by KangYoons consideration .

Was he even aware that his actions were stirring even more feelings in her heart?

She smiled while feeling the hand rubbing her head .
