The Famous Millionaire Chapter 206

The moment he witnessed some students absorbed in computer games, Hyunwoo's eyes sparkled with anger.

Of course, he didn't regard computer games as bad. It was permissible to enjoy them as one way to get rid of stress, but the thing was that they should know when and where to play computer games.

Right now, they were in the office during the official working hours.

All of them came here after quitting school to devote themselves to animation work.

Hyunwoo was well aware of the negative effects of game addiction. Once they were addicted, it would be more difficult for them to get their hands off it than narcotics.

Hyunwoo could not give them a pass. He had to punish them in order to set an example for other students. If he was lenient with them this time, this problem would crop up again.

Controlling his anger, Hyunwoo put his hand on a student lost in a computer game.

“What the heck are you doing?”

The students right beside the student turned their heads after they heard Hyunwoo's voice. Most of them were analyzing the story for their animation ideas, but the student in question didn't get wind of the situation at all. As he was wearing headphones, he could hardly hear Hyunwoo's voice.

The student even threw a tantrum because he was disturbed by somebody.

After all, another student explained to him in an urgent voice. Only then did the student turned back to find Hyunwoo standing behind him, watching him playing computer games.

Stunned, he sprang to his feet. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

In a calm voice Hyunwoo told him, “Just turn off the monitor.”

Hyunwoo called him to the conference table. Two other students who were also caught playing computer games were also called in.

Hyunwoo was speechless for a while, pondering over how to punish them.

The students cast a glance at him, with their heads lowered as if they were guilty.

Finally, Hyunwoo made a decision and said, “You guys, go home now.”

They raised their heads suddenly at his shocking declaration.

They looked at each other as if they were double-checking what they had just heard.

Hyunwoo reconfirmed his decision, “Don't you think you're doing harm to other students by disturbing the atmosphere? Pack your stuff today.”

Hyunwoo cut off their excuses coldly and stood up as if he didn't need to hear their excuses.

“We're so sorry. Please forgive us just once.”

One of the students dropped to his knees on the floor, so did the other two, asking for forgiveness, but Hyunwoo didn't relent at all.

“I don't change my decision easily once I have made it. And you guys should take responsibility for your behavior.”

“I won't do it again. I'm serious.”

“Please forgive me this time only!”

They asked for his forgiveness earnestly, but Hyunwoo didn't budge a bit.

Without even looking at them, he went upstairs.

Other students who watched the scene quickly erased the downloaded games from their computers. They were also playing the games, but fortunately, they were not caught.

The atmosphere of the first floor turned cold instantly.

As soon as he went upstairs, Hyunwoo announced that he would expel the three students caught playing games downstairs.

Surprised by Hyunwoos' bombshell announcement, Kyungsu asked him in detail.

“What are you talking about?”

Hyunwoo explained to him what had happened downstairs, adding that he wanted to set the example by punishing them.

Scratching his head for a moment, Kyungsu asked for a sole meeting with Hyunwoo.

They entered the president's office, namely Hyunwoo's exclusive room on the second floor.

“Don't you think that's too harsh a measure for their behavior? Why don't you think twice about it?” asked Kyungsu.

“Other students can be contaminated by such students.”

“But you have to think about their future. They quit school to come here. Where should they go if they are expelled?”

Of course, Hyunwoo was aware of that. But if he can't punish them for that reason, he would see the same thing happening again and again.

At that moment, somebody knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

It was the students in question who knocked on the door.

Given that their eyes were bloodshot, obviously, they cried and repented.

As soon as they entered the office, they sank to their knees and bowed to them.

“Please forgive us!”

“There is nowhere we can go once we are expelled from here.”

Still, Hyunwoo didn't show any reaction.

They kept repeating they were sorry, showing tears to prove they were serious, but Hyunwoo's reaction was icy.

“Don't show me your ugly gesturing. Just pack up your stuff and go home. I can give you a ride back home.”

Kyungsu looked at them with a regretful look, but at that moment Hyunwoo winked at him without them knowing it, suggesting he had a good idea for taking care of this matter.

And then Hyunwoo stood up and left the office.

When he left, Kyungsu clicked his tongue, “Tut, tut. How come you guys are playing games in the office? Don't you know how much he hates that?”

Hyunwoo left the office and quickly headed for the construction site.

Originally, he planned to install a computer in each room of the dormitory, but he was worried the whole dormitory would change into a game room. At the same time, he didn't want to force them to focus on studying only. He felt there needed to be some kind of mechanism for the students to relieve their stress.

When he arrived at the construction site near his house, he saw that the farming ground for grasshoppers was filled with grasshoppers already.

Right beside the farming ground was the processing facility, still under construction.

On a low hill adjacent to a street, various construction projects were underway such as the research center, a dormitory and the third factory of Hyunwoo's Mom. It looked like all the buildings would be completed within one month.

Sanggon Ahn, the builder who was responsible for the construction, was seen hopping here and there to supervise the construction.

“Brother!”

Sanggon turned his head at Hyunwoo's call.

“Oh, what's up? Why are you coming here every day? Are you monitoring me? Hahaha.”

“Of course, I'm. What if you run away without paying me back?” said Hyunwoo, making fun of him.

“Hahaha. Why don't you bind me with chains?” said Sanggon, laughing heartily.

Laughing with him, Hyunwoo brought up the topic, “Well, I want an annex right next to the dormitory, so that the students can walk around in slippers.”

“I think I have to make a passage to that building then. Why are you suddenly asking me to do so? Do you have a blueprint?”

“Not yet. I just thought about it today.”

Hyunwoo explained to him about the use of the new annex.

There should be no computer or TV set in the dormitory, let alone desks. Only beds and wardrobes will be installed.

Instead, the annex will be equipped with not only computers and TV sets but also table tennis or fitness rooms for the students' welfare.

Hearing his briefing, Sanggon nodded and said, “There is enough space right next to the dormitory. I can break the wall between the first and second floor to make the hallway.”

“I hope you can make the blueprint for that and go ahead, brother. Let me write down the list of the necessary rooms for specific purposes and let you know.”

“Got it.”

At the construction site, Hyunwoo was mulling over the various uses of the new dormitory from the standpoint of the students.

At that moment, he had a call from his advisor, Hwasik Kang.

“Our application for the bonded warehouse was approved. I just stopped by the customs office and received the official approval letter and certificate.”

“Really? Let me come to the office right now.”

When he arrived at the KOVE DREAM office, they already had the approval letter framed and hung on the wall.

The atmosphere of the office was pretty good. Hwasik spent the whole day in the office, saying he felt much better there than at home. Yenam was also getting along well with the staff. In particular, Yenam handled his work very well.

In the meantime, it was already getting dark.

Let me go back to the office of Ani & Funny. On this occasion, let me give them a harsh lesson and make them come to their senses.

He went back to the office.

After packing their stuff, the students were waiting for Hyunwoo.

Their faces were a mess of tears and a snot, but Hyunwoo was calm. As soon as he arrived at the office, he called them and opened the rear door of his van for them to get in.

“Hey, get in. Let me give you a ride back home.”

His voice was sharp, and it was evident that they could make him take back his decision.

They also gave up and exchanged parting words with their remaining friends.

“Sorry. Do your best, man”

“Don't give up even if you're out. Let's meet again after we make a success.”

Hyunwoo pressed, “Hey, enough is enough. Just get in quickly!”

When they got in, Hyunwoo started right away.

The students in the back seats began to shed tears again but didn't ask for him to change his mind again as if they were resigned to the situation.

Hyunwoo felt the right time came. Their repenting all day long took the same effect as expelling them from Ani & Funny.

Actually, he didn't have any intention to expel them.

Like Kyungsu said, they gave up school to come to Ani & Funny. Hyunwoo had no right to ruin the future of such students for their one-time mistake.

That's why he reacted so coldly today to establish a firm discipline by punishing them.

Hyunwoo thought of a plan in advance. He felt that method would bring about the intended effect.
