Chairman Yu’s pupils quietly shifted. His gaze, which seemed to wander through the empty air, turned sharply towards Hwang Gyeong-ok.
“Why bring up that topic out of the blue?”
Hwang Gyeong-ok showed interest in the current affairs, and Chairman Yu, who threw an unnecessary barb, couldn’t help but be concerned.
Hwang Gyeong-ok was the one who initially planned the entertainment business.
She had intended to take charge of cultural projects, including film investments, but Chairman Yu had put a stop to it.
It was to prevent the separation of affiliate companies in case of a divorce.
As a countermeasure, Hwang Gyeong-ok had placed Jinhan in GN Entertainment.
“I’ve been hearing some unusual rumors lately.”
“Is Jinhan here crying or something?”
“You’re still underestimating that child of yours.”
“He’s just doing what he does. Spending money recklessly and falling for a woman. What’s so special about it?”
“It’s not like you didn’t expect it.”
“I don’t know how the world is these days, so I’m saying things like that.”
Chairman Yu clicked his tongue, seemingly frustrated with Hwang Gyeong-ok. Avoiding a direct confrontation, he turned away.
After washing up, when Hwang Gyeong-ok came out, she was sipping tea while looking at the darkened garden.
As she was about to remain silent, she took out a beer and sat facing him.
“Jinhan has a soft spot.”
“It’s just a matter of not matching your taste.”
“In a market where swindlers are thriving, behaving like him is hopeless.”
“I won’t say anything else.”
Hwang Gyeong-ok pushed the empty teacup aside.
“Don’t forget that GN Entertainment is Jinhan’s domain.”
Standing up first, Hwang Gyeong-ok left Chairman Yu alone.
Alone, he recalled the conversation he had with Han Jintae after Jinhan’s visit at noon.
“Chairman, how about Kim Young-jae, the manager, for the CEO position at GN Entertainment?”
“You mean Kim Young-jae?”
He had heard through Han Jintae that Jinhan had arranged for Haeju to stay in his name’s apartment.
Specifically, he reported it to Chairman Yu, emphasizing that he devoted his attention only to Haeju.
At that time, it seemed reasonable. He was at the age of boiling blood, and he thought it was just right to enjoy it.
However, the scandal about Haeju’s marriage broke out.
While Jinhan was wavering, a situation occurred where GN’s reputation plummeted.
Han Jintae insisted that directing Kwak’s film would be the solution to all the disgrace. As a result, it reached a point where the candidacy for the CEO of GN Entertainment had to be changed.
“Manager Kim Young-jae is good at controlling and managing people.”
“Is that so?”
“He won’t resist Chairman’s orders.”
There were many clashes between Jinhan and him.
He had trusted Jinhan’s stubbornness to try anything alone, but it ended up like this.
However, it wasn’t entirely without results. With excellent planning skills, Jinhan led major events each time, leading to the birth of globally recognized idol groups and actors.
When reversed, Han Jintae’s words meant that Young-jae lacked creative planning skills. If he focused only on management, his perspective would inevitably narrow.
This method might ensure control, but in the end, it would become stagnant and rot.
“What’s the real reason for recommending Kim Young-jae?”
The moment he asked, Han Jintae’s eyes narrowed with suspicion.
He couldn’t answer right away but eventually spoke up.
“I haven’t seen such talent recently.”
Han Jintae had the talent to turn the targeted person into his own. It was because he knew how to skillfully manipulate people’s psychology.
However, he couldn’t deceive Chairman Yu so easily.
Currently, he was hiding his intention to take control even of GN’s subsidiaries.
To Han Jintae, Young-jae was just a usable pawn.
“Pretend if you must.”
“What?”
“We can’t hand GN Entertainment over to such an unqualified manager.”
“But, Chairman.”
“Don’t let someone like that be used too much and then discard them.”
“…I understand.”
Han Jintae looked down on Jinhan with ease.
Therefore, he would unabashedly criticize Jinhan in front of him, his father.
The words he had thrown when he arrived home a while ago must have confused Han Jintae.
What he meant by telling Jinhan to properly assert himself in front of others like him was…
“That’s why you shouldn’t throw prey to the lower ones.”
Han Jintae was nothing more than a tool to be used and then discarded, even in front of his father.
Of course, Jinhan wasn’t 100% innocent.
So, there was deep contemplation.
For Haeju, stepping on the scale every morning had become a routine.
When she first became pregnant, she lost weight due to morning sickness, dropping 5kg below her usual weight. But recently, she was trying to exceed her original weight.
Yesterday, in front of beef, she lost control and ended up eating a lot. After that, not only her face but also her hands were swollen when she woke up.
“What do I do?”
Even her double eyelids seemed to have disappeared.
At that moment, Dojun came out of the bedroom.
