12 Hours After Chapter 69

Five boys with yellow and brown hair said with open hands at once, “Hello! We're… Hearts Hunter's!”

This was the so-called “idol-like greeting . ” It was amazing to see what I'd only seen on television in front of my eyes .

“I'm Sungjin, the leader . I'm in charge of dancing and singing in the team . ”

“I'm Franz . I'm in charge of rapping on the team . ”

“I'm Maha . I'm in charge of dancing on the team . ”

To be honest, I wasn't interested in boy bands at all . Maybe that was why it was the first time I'd seen them .

“Yes, it's nice to meet you . ”

The group of boys passed by, bright-looking girls came up and said hello, “Please take a good look! Uptown Girls . ”

I was greeted again by idols . Unlike boy bands, I was familiar with famous girl groups, but these girls were also my first time . Nevertheless, like any girl's group, their beauty was outstanding . Walking along Gangnam Boulevard, men's eyes were sure to follow automatically . Each of them had a separate pose and self-introduction .

“Venus Serin!”

“Jupiter Sujin!”

“Mercury Ha Young!”

'Isn't this the concept of Sailor Moon? I shook hands with them even AS I thought about it .

“Yes, it's nice to meet you, please have a good performance . ”

I looked around after being greeted for a long time .

Heh… Secretary Seo was looking at the Uptown Girls with his mouth open slightly . “Secretary Seo!”

When I called his name, he looked at me in surprise, “Yes, boss?”

“After this is over, I want you to look into all the names of the trainees, actors, singers, group entertainers from OH Entertainment, and report to me . ”

“Yes, I see . ”

Just in case I said one more thing, “Not their stage names, but their real names . Okay?”

“Yes, I see . ”

Many actors, singers, entertainers, and trainees shook hands with me . Everyone said they were celebrities, but it was my first time seeing them . There were so many people I couldn't remember seeing anywhere .

'But television only shines on successful entertainers… There are more than 100 new girl groups a year, right? Celebrities on television are handsome, pretty and colorful, but there are very few people, really . The public is only seeing the good side of the entertainment industry . '

At the end of the handshake, I could hear a murmur in the distance .

'What is it?' As soon as I glanced over, a handsome young man walked over, looking at me .

Kwon, who had been quiet, said, “CEO Han, this is Kim Jun-hyung . ”

'Oh, this man . ' Before the merger, Kim Jun-hyung was a CKD ace . I'd seen him many times in the movies, or in the dramas .

He came up to me, bowed his head and offered me a handshake . “Thank you, CEO . I'm Kim Jun-hyung . I look forward to your kind cooperation . ”

He was a handsome man, and he looked good and bright . His smile was a good thing for women .

'I heard that the work he had taken in China was blocked by Hanhanlyeong and was unable to come out . ' I shook hands with him and said, “Did you act in a recent historical movie?”

“Oh, yes . You mean the Wind and the Waves?”

“Yes, the Wind and the Waves . I watched you play the role of the prince . ”

“Thank you . I will continue to work hard . ”

At the end of my greeting with Kim Jun-hyung, I got a sense of who was coming to me .

Clump clump . The owner of the heavy shoes was none other than Oh Hyun-joo, the best actress of OH Entertainment .

“Good to see you, Mr . President . ”

“Glad to see you, Ms . Oh . ”

We exchanged greetings only briefly . It was supposed to be something that didn't exist . When others were looking at us, we should be first acquaintances . Like this, after finishing greetings with all the celebrities, I entered the president's office of OH Entertainment with President Kwon .

“You did a good job, boss . ”

“It was nothing . You did a good job, President Kwon . Anyway, we've got a rough arrangement . As I said before, I'm not going to interfere with the company's affairs directly . President Kwon, I want you to do well on your own . ”

“Yes, boss . ”

“But sometimes, I may recommend people or not recommend them . ”

“Recommend or not recommend?”

“Yes, I don't know anything else, but I've always been pretty good at judging people . I'm confident . So, if I think someone from the company is going to be fine, I'll contact you sometimes if I want to . Not often but sometimes… At that time, please review my opinion carefully . ”

Kwon quickly blinked his eyes and bowed his head, “Yes, I see, boss . I'm sure of what you're saying . ”

He was looking at me as a bit of a mystery . I deserved it . At the age of 29, I was the head of a thirty million dollar investment company . When we met at the tuna restaurant, he had asked me, “Excuse me… May I ask what your father does?”

That was how he asked me .

'It's amazing . The email which comes every day is amazing . '

This was the end of all the official work . I was about to call in Secretary Seo, but I remembered the last thing I had to do . “Oh, by the way . That… manager . ”

“Manager?”

“Please call the manager of Oh Hyun-joo in here . I have something to talk about with him . ”

Kwon didn't know what the situation was, but he replied without a word, “Yes, I see, boss . ”

The door opened, and the man came in without a word . It was none other than Oh Hyun-joo's manager .

I pointed to a seat . “Sit down . ”

He sat down at my order, but his hands were trembling on the armrest . He was a little nervous . It seemed that a guilty conscience needed no accuser .

I asked him, “I wanted to ask you something, didn't I hand you my business card for Oh Hyun-joo back then?”

When I said that, he came out of his chair and suddenly knelt down . “I'm sorry . I received the business card at the time, but…”

I didn't keep him down on his knees . I raised him up, but he kept begging . “But I didn't expect you to be this big . I'm sorry…”

He was right . I wasn't a rich man with authority then . I said, easing his mind, “It's okay . I didn't call you to blame you . ”

“Yes? Then…”

“Please take a seat . I'd like to ask you a few questions . ”

At my words, he sat in a chair with his head down . I asked him, “Usually, it's a manager's job to block the approach of the public, right?”

“Yes . First of all, I limit people's personal contact with a star . I don't know what Oh Hyun-joo is doing . ”

He just tried to stick to the manager's duty . I couldn't say anything about that . “Then what did you do with my business card? What did you say to Oh Hyun-joo?”

“I threw away the business card and gave her another phone number . ”

“Really? What did Oh Hyun-joo say?”

“She said that she sent you a text message, but you didn't reply… She's said it many times because it's weird . So, I was making excuses . ”

She must have sent me a text message, a number of times . 'She texted me as she asked me my number . '

I changed the subject around and asked, “Did Oh Hyun-joo not read the countenance of her boyfriend?”

“Oh Hyun-joo has never been in love with a man since her debut . The company itself has been managed well, but she is so passionate about her work . ”

I was happy, but deliberately hardened my face . If I was happy to hear that, the manager might have a weird imagination .

Funnily enough, the manager looked at my stiff face and apologized again, “I'm sorry . Oh Hyun-joo was scheduled to shoot the CF, and she had to audition for the movie…”

I dissuaded him, “Ah, that's all right . I understand everything . I've been at work in a company . First, you had to do your job, no matter what the situation was . ”

At my words, the manager stayed still with his head down .

I asked him something else, “How old are you anyway?”

“I'm 34 . ”

More than I thought . He was five years older than me . “Are you married?”

“Yes . I have two sons and a daughter . ” He seemed to say, “I have a wife and children, so please take good care of me . ” He looked at me with that kind of expression .

'That's not why I asked you . ' “Oh, yes, I see… So what happened last time was just… Let's consider it as having happened . Instead, bring it well this time…”

I took my wallet out as I spoke my words ambiguously, and I handed it to him .

'Han Sang-hoon, CEO of the Invictus Investment . '

The new business card changed its name and my position . As the business card changed hands, the attitude of the recipient also changed . This time, he politely took my business card with both hands . “Yes, I see, Mr . President . ”

“And please tell Oh Hyun-joo that you memorized the wrong number, so the text message went wrong… I don't want to be a person who ignored the message even after I got it from a superstar . ”

“Yes, I see . I'll explain that actively . ”

I laughed and tapped him on the shoulder . “Yes, then, please continue to do your job well . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

“Oh, and don't change the company's policy because of this . I don't want you to . ”

“Yes?” said the manager, lifting his eyebrows .

“I want you to stop the public from approaching her from now on . Oh Hyun-joo is the top saleswoman of our company . ”

He finally understood me . “Oh, yes! I see . ”

On the way home . I got a text message on my cell phone .

-CEO Han Sang Hoon . This is Oh Hyun-joo . My manager forgot your phone number, so I couldn't send a thank-you message . So I want to say “thank you” again . Thank you for saving me then!-

I sent her a reply with a smile… and I saved her number under her name Oh Hyun-joo in my phone list .

About that time, Secretary Seo asked, “Where would you like to go, boss?”

'Company? Or home?'

“Home . Let's go home,” I said to him .

“Yes, boss . ” Secretary Seo picked me up and headed to my studio . I didn't go home to rest; rather, it was going to work . OH Entertainment's acquisition ended in success this time . What I had to do now was to make money again .

'Five companies ruled by a parent company are needed to reach the Master Class . To achieve that, I need much more money than I have now . '
