novelBecoming a mid-sized company
| ← Ch.086 | Ch.088 → |
Daeyang's CEO Choi Gunwon and his oldest son Choi Taemin were watching the news. Choi Gunwon threw the newspaper at Choi Taemin.
"We can't stop their phone release in Korea anymore. The earliest we can launch our own phone is at the end of this year. KND is planning to release the newer version Blue S+ around September. Is this really the best you can do?"
Choi Taemin answered quickly, "I have ordered our team to make sure we finish before September."
"You better make it happen. If it doesn't work out, stop KND from releasing their phone. Use whatever you can to delay it. Use your wife's connection too. Why do you think I got you married to LK CEO's daughter?"
Choi Taemin nodded. Choi Gunwon ordered, "Now, get Gichul to come back to Korea."
"He is not ready."
"I will be the judge of that."
Choi Taemin lowered his face to hide his frown.
Choi Gunwon continued, "Gitae is doing fine with his own company. Why can't you be more like him?"
Second son Choi Gitae. He was responsible for Daeyang's DS sector.
"The best of my sons will get the Daeyang System. The other two losers will get whatever is leftover."
Choi Gunwon threatened his three sons like this every day.
Competition among the brothers was intense.
"What would you like Gichul to do?"
"Get him to take care of CE."
"Alright."
"And get the media to drop any KND related news. I can't stand it anymore."
Choi Taemin told his assistant, "Get the media to drop the news."
The assistant understood immediately, "I will take care of it, and we were able to poach three developers from the Korean office and one from the American office."
"And how about Tel-Tech?"
"We stole the best developers from that company too, so KND is not getting their money's worth."
"Check it again to make sure."
"Yes, sir."
When Choi Taemin took out a cigarette, his assistant lighted it quickly.
As he smoked, Choi Taemin ordered, "Get Gichul back to Korea."
"Yes, sir."
Choi Taemin continued to frown.
"And I will be going to Nonhyun today.
The assistant wet his lips nervously and replied, "We were unable to hire Lee Ari, but we got Yoo Sona instead. She is an up and coming new star. She'll be even bigger than Lee Ari very soon with our help."
"Fine."
The assistant bowed and left.
---------------------------------------------------------------
At Lee Ari's TV commercial studio, Woosung and Jung Jinsup stood and watched.
Jung Jinsup said excitedly, "I was right about how hot she is! I am so excited! She makes me crazy."
Woosung agreed, "You have good eyes, sir."
"Haha, I know. We are all going for drinks after, right?"
"Yes, her boss will be coming too, so it will be the four of us."
"Sure, why not."
Jung Jinsup tapped Woosung's shoulder. Woosung felt goosebumps as he restrained himself from punching him. Woosung hid his anger and smiled.
"I will try to leave with her boss, so it could be just two of you. Good luck."
"Haha, alright."
"By the way, everyone wants to know about you and your success, Woosung."
"Well, I've been lucky."
"Come on. Be honest. We both know things don't work out this well because of luck."
"Haha, I guess you're right. It's actually all thanks to my data analysis."
"Just how good are you?"
Woosung lowered his voice."As you know, CP data analysis can be very informative."
"It is only if you use it correctly. I know better than anyone how hard it is to do that."
"It's hard, but it's possible."
"Is that so?"
Woosung nodded knowingly. Jung Jinsup's eyes sharpened.
Woosung continued, "It's not something I can talk to you about here. Maybe later in private. Now, I think the filming is almost over so shall we go first?"
"Great."
"Cut! Ok! We're done." The director signaled the end of the day.
Lee Ari got into her car and asked her manager, "Do I really have to go?"
Her CEO, who was already in the car, answered, "Come on, we went over this already. We have to do this. Please, Ari."
"This is the last time."
"Haha, I know, I know. This is the first and the last time. Just like we agreed."
"Alright. Let's go."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hotel private room.
Woosung made sure the table was ready with expensive food and bottles of 30-year-old Ballantine, which was Jung Jinsup's favorite.
There was one more thing Woosung prepared.
"Please come in."
Three beautiful women walked into the room. Jung Jinsup looked at Woosung in confusion.
Woosung explained, "Haha, we can't drink without beautiful women."
"But what about Lee Ari?"
"It will be a while till they arrive, so why don't you have a few drinks with these ladies? Lee Ari and her CEO will call me before they come."
The women sat close to Jung Jinsup and asked seductively, "Could you pour us some drinks?"
Jung Jinsup grinned as the women smiled at him."Hahaha. I really like you, Woosung."
"I made sure to find your type."
Jung Jinsup filled Woosung's glass, and Woosung did the same for him.
"I love it! Let's drink!"
Jung Jinsup emptied his glass without a second thought.
Lee Ari and her boss arrived at the private room, but other than the table full of food, the room was empty. They looked at each other.
"What's this?"
"Did we come to the right place?"
"Yes. I checked it a few times to make sure."
The CEO called Woosung, but there was no answer.
"What's happening?"
5 minutes.
Even after 10 minutes of waiting, no one showed up. Lee Ari got fed up of waiting and stood up.
"Maybe they got caught up."
"But that can't be."
The manager looked at the food.
"Maybe they want us to start without them?"
"R...really?"
The CEO called, but Woosung again didn't answer his phone. After another 10 minutes, the CEO called a hotel staff.
"Did someone leave a message for us by chance?"
"Oh, he said to go ahead without him if he doesn't come on time."
"Oh!"
They were all starving. Without another word, they feast.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Haha, you are so hot, oppa! Are you serious?"
"Totally! I make a few million dollars a day."
"Wow! I want to spend the night with you, Jinsup. I want to kiss you!"
Jung Jinsup was already drunk. He was having a grand time with the women. He looked excited and it seemed like he forgot about Lee Ari.
Woosung looked at him sharply.
'What a douchebag. '
Woosung hired the best professional escorts in Gangnam. He paid tens of thousands of dollars for the night and it was going according to his plan.
"Woosung, get me a room."
Woosung answered quickly.
"I already prepared a room for you just in case."
"You..."
For a second, Woosung worried that Jung Jinsup figured out his plan, but he smiled and continued.
"You are so well prepared! I love it! I just need a little time with these ladies, then I'll be back."
"I think Lee Ari and her boss are caught up, but they will be here soon."
"Perfect. I'll be back."
Jung Jinsup and the women left, and Woosung went out to the lobby for a walk.
After a few minutes, Woosung tipped a bellboy a hundred dollars and asked him to bring a bag from the entrance bench.
The bellboy moved quickly and brought Woosung a black bag. After checking within the bag, an unpleasant grin covered Woosung's face.
Inside was Jung Jinsup's sex tape.
