Chapter 5：Call From Home (2/2)

”Okay, seriously! Noona will not be angry if I suddenly start dating,” said Ethan happily. Not that he is currently close or dating someone, but who would have guessed when he would fall in love.

Mi Sun just nodded. She thought it was okay as long as Ethan wasn't caught.

”Hello, papa,” Ethan said when the call had been picked up.

”Hello, Ethan, come home now! Mama had a heart attack earlier,” Baek Hyeon said without preamble.

”What?! Then what is the current state of mama?!” asked Ethan, really worried. Even though his relationship with his mother was not very good, it was still that person who gave birth to him.

”At this time mama's condition is stable, but still not conscious, can you go home then ... become company interim CEO here?” Baek Hyeon asked, who paused for a moment, hesitating a little. He wasn't doubtful about Ethan's leadership, but doubted whether the man would accept the offer.

”I might be able to go home but to become an interim CEO ... it looks like it will be difficult, can't you be CEO of the company to replace mama?” Ethan asked back. Currently their company, NamTech, is indeed led by its mother, even so, her father, who is the founder of the company, has the second largest share, of course the first is his mother.

”What are you talking about?! Your mama is sick, then you asked me to lead the company?! Of course papa must accompany your mama!” Baek Hyeon snapped.

Ethan patted his forehead. How could he forget how much his father loved his mother, his father gave his shares to his mother so that his mother became the highest shareholder and became the leader of the company. It was solely because his mother wanted to lead the company.

”How about noona?” Ethan asked again, trying to find an alternative. With his current condition, it seems that it will be difficult to become CEO of the company.

”Elena still can't be contacted. Her secretary told me she is in Paris to launch the latest product of Wang's company. After all, you are currently the third highest shareholder, so you are a suitable candidate,” Baek Hyeon explained.

”Hah?! Isn't noona's stock higher than mine?” Ethan asked, confused. As far as he remembers, he owns 17%, his noona owns 20%, his papa owns 25%, his mama owns 28%, and 10% is sold to the public.

”Elena sold 5% of her shares to buy your mama's share in Wang, it looks like your grandfather is starting to suppress her. So how? When will you come? Next Monday you have to show up at the office, okay!” said Baek Hyeon.

”But ... will the other boards of directors agree with this decision?” Ethan asked again, doing his best to find fault with so as not to become CEO of the company.

”If they don't agree then they are ready to give a resignation letter! From the very beginning it is a family company! Papa was ready to let go but your mama would rather lead NamTech than Wang. Papa knows you don't really like getting into business, Ethan. But at least you have the qualifications to become a interim CEO of NamTech, mama definitely don't like it if someone else is replacing her temporarily,”

Ethan sighed for a moment.

”Yes, but… can you bear the transportation money? My finances are not very good here,” Ethan said bluntly.

Since the scandal at Colors and finally disbanded, his mother was furious and told him to study business to become the successor of their company. Ethan, who felt he didn't fit in there, of course was furious. Finally, the relationship between mother and child became a little apart.

Finally, with the persuasion of his father who will let him in the entertainment world, but he must build his own career, without financial support from his parents, and must not interfere with the privacy of his family. Ethan finally agreed to major in business. That is the reason why he had no news for 4 years and no one knew that he was actually the young master of the NamTech company.

”Alright, papa secretary will call you,” said Baek Hyeon then closed the conversation.

Ethan could only sigh when he finished talking to his papa. With his current state, is it possible for him to return home? What's more, being the company's interim CEO?

Just thinking about that made Ethan sigh once again.
