Chapter 195: Stop at Nothing, By Any Means (1)
TL: emptycube / ED: Isleidir
I felt like cold water had been poured onknow that I received an investment proposal in China?
“… Team leader, how did you know?”
I for one wasn't the type to chat about that
“Lee Lyang”
The Teauy seeuessed ent for drinks”
He was a representative of a Chinese agency company I recalled his neat and urban face His voice in which he proposed I leave W&U and go independent with Chinese investo”
“I know”
“I refused his proposal then”
“I heard that too”
Thinking back, I didn't regretW&U any tiht I had seen at the ti on business trips to China, he would bring the proposal up in the passing, but talks never progressed He even stoppedI had tossed in the corner of my mind until recently
The Teaht up any talks about invest to advise you to save yourself if the CEO happened to know about it I orried that sparks would fly to you because the Tea Chinese investments If the CEO doesn't know, then that's that”
If CEO Baek Hansung doesn't know…
Can I say for certain that he doesn't?
“But if you've noticed, then the CEO ht it up only because he ith me He won't say a word in front of the CEO If the CEO knew that such talks were ongoing beneath the surface, he would iency ith”
The Tea with a serious expression, joined in,
“Wouldn't it be better to tell the CEO that so like this happened and that he refused? It just makes me feel uneasy”
“I don't know about that There's no need to bother the CEO about so that's already in the past Especially at a tiood time”
Ki My phone on the table began to ring I flinched when I saw the caller The Team 3 Leader and Kim Hyunjo flinched in shock at the sa was this?
“… hello?”
-I heard that you've arrived
He spoke slowly It was difficult to gauge his o”
-Shall weI want to ask
What would it be? That he would want to ask?
Was it about the Team 2 Leader? I probably had a lot to do with hio independent
Don't tell me it's about the Chinese investment matter?
That bothered me too because of what the Team 3 Leader said
Even as I opened the door to the CEO's office, ure out what the CEO'salone in front of a wall The as full of profile pictures of celebrities at W&U CEO Baek Hansung's finger lightly brushed past theha, Nam Joyoon, Pretty Girls, and even the actors the Tea? Sit Youback from your business trip to China”
My shoulders reflexively stiffened when he mentioned China
When I sat at an e so the weekend and with the Tea a ruckus, I had expected hiine CEO Baek Hansung's red face spouting curses as he juht his mood would be fiercer He was the sa behind his calst the scenarios, right?”
“Pardon?”
“Aha The one with Director Cha Jaeho and Heo Kakyung as the lead Don't you re through my memories to keep up with this sudden topic
“It was a project we rejected because feha”
I re and the director beforewas save hi about for Lee Songha's next project?”
“There are a few decent ones, but we are looking through them with an open mind”
“H ti an unexpected direction
“I met Director Cha because he said he wanted to have a ha He even said that they illing to adjust a significant portion of the ferees to do it”
Mythe Team 2 Leader and Chinese invest he wanted us to go with that project for Lee Songha?
I quickly recalled the scenario and female lead The scenario was fine It was a well-structured action thriller I had considered this project for a good while because Heo Kakyung, faned on it However, this wasn't a project where the female lead shi+ned
The female lead was simply someone with a pretty face and body as the male lead's love interest Even if it was a box-office success, all the attention would be focused on Heo Kakyung How h adjustments? It left a bitter taste in my mouth
“If you don't have any projects you are seriously considering, why not listen to theo well…”
“Then don't do it”
I i calmly said,
“A favor is a favor, but if there's a better project, then, of course, we should do that”
“It feels like we're at the wrong party”
I looked around with an aard expression
“It is the wrong party Since it's the closing ceremony at a short fil at us Like, 'why are they here?'”
“Guess they are fascinated”
