I need answers! Why am I enrolled in a Daegu High school and not in a Seoul boardroom? Something is off. According to Wiki, Vice President Suk Lee has been taking care of me since my parents' accident. Maybe I should call him?

I take out my cell phone and start scrolling through my contacts; I say scrolling but I only have 5 and they all seem like people I pay: Dentist , Doctor , Driver, VP and Maid. Seems like I don't have any friends. I know I'm anti-social, but even in my past life I had a few good acquaintances numbers. I never used them, but I at least had them; just in case. Who am I trying to kid? Those definitely don't count.

*Ding*

*New Quest*

*Make one genuine friend*

*Mission Reward: None because you don't have a system*

*Mission Failure: Penalty, Novel will be renamed to the Handsome loser*

I dial the VP and wait....

---------------------------VP Suk Lee POV----------------------------

"Okay, so next on the agenda is the merger with K industrial"

"We plan on getting their VR technology by the end of the year; with it being in operation by the year 2012"

"Looking at a relative market a.n.a.lysis , the earliest our compet.i.tors will step into the field will be 2013. So, we will have 1 year to establish market dominance"

"That 1 years worth of its effect on our stock and profit is estimated to range between $ 200 million and $350 million dollars. As such, we will begin negotiations with K in 2 weeks: with our opening bid of $75 million dollars and a 5 years non-compete clause"

" At the next ..."

*Bzzzzzt* Bzzzzzt*

"Hold on for a moment, Anso. I got a call"

"Yes , Mr.Lee"

"Dylan, why are you calling me. Shouldn't you be at school? It's your first day"

"Ah! Uh... uhm...I woke up feeling bad so I stayed home. I just called to ask something..."

"What is it? You know I'm always here for you, but I'm in a very important meeting Okay?"

"Uh, you ... why ... Why am I in Daegu and not Seoul?"

"Dylan, we spoke about this. We agreed you take a year off after what happened at the company, and then come back once everything has settled"

"I'm taking a year off?"

"Yeah, after the incident you were almost removed from the board. It was lucky enough that I could settle it without your removal"

"Now, go see a doctor and go to school." *click*

"Yeah, okay..."

Mr.Lee puts the phone down and enters the room once again.

"Sorry about the delay. Anso, as for instructions: Instead of trying to have those from K not work; offer them 25 million, but give them full control of development as long as we have rights of exclusivity and first purchase. While our profit margins may be lower over the short term. As long as K industries stay ahead of the field we won't only have one year of dominance, but complete control of the market."

"Yes, sir!"

*Voices clamouring*

"Mr.Lee is just so, you know charismatic."

"I know right? Nothing like that brat who always makes a big mess!"

"Don't let anyone hear you, he's the owner."

"He's just a puppet."

"A handsome puppet, but unfortunately unlike Pinocchio: his nose didn't grow every time he lied and blamed us staff. Hahaha!"

Back at the boardroom, Mr.Lee is sitting alone. He has a smile on his face, but something is eating on his mind. He takes out his phone and calls someone.

"Is the deal through?"

"Yes, Mr.Lee."

"How many shares do I hold now?"

"30% Mr.Lee."

"And the brat?"

"51% and the other 19% is in public shares."

"His still majority shareholder , but his voting rights have been transferred to the public shares right?"

"Yes, he only has 32% voting rights. You hold 30% and the board now holds 38%."

"Good, by next year I will make it impossible for him to have any say in this company, and in 10 years the ruling family of this Chaebol will change from Park to Lee"

"Very good sir."

*beep* *beep* *beep*

So, I caused an incident and had to take a year off? This feels like what they do to corrupt politicians.

"I did not have s.e.xual relations with that woman."

"Mr.President! You have been impeached!"

Hmmm... Is it because I don't know anyone in this life, so I just can't seem to trust anyone? Or am I just being too suspicious, but this seems like some kind of plot development?
