Chapter 131: Chapter 131
At that moment Hyunwoo's eyes opened wide.
Why did he mention Hyunwoo's Mom suddenly?
Youngsu was as much surprised, but he was surprised for a different reason.
It was a pleasant surprise, of course.
”How do you know about 'Hyunwoo's Mom'?” asked Youngsu.
Jaeyol Song's face brightened because Youngsu's reply implied he knew very well.
”It's not a restaurant but a food factory. They supply breakfast boxes to our sister company Aurum. It's like a breakfast box factory,” said Youngsu, touching Hyunwoo on the shoulder.
Hyunwoo wished he wouldn't do so, but it was wishful thinking.
Youngsu introduced Hyunwoo proudly, ”This guy's name is Hyunwoo Jang.”
Jaeyol's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Hyunwoo as if he was a treasure.
Then, he changed his speaking manner, ”Do you mean Mr. Hyunwoo Jang's mother is running that factory?”
”Yes, she started doing it since Aurum entrusted her with supplying the breakfast boxes.”
”Oh, I see. Then, the 'angel without a face' related to Ansan High School is Mr. Hyunwoo Jang's mother.”
Youngsu tilted his head a bit. Of course, he was aware that there were many things happening with respect to the food poisoning incident and the angel without a face played a big role.
Little did he think, however, that the angel without a face was Hyunwoo's mother.
He then looked at Hyunwoo as if he wanted to ask what really happened.
Hyunwoo let out a very brief sigh. It was only a matter of time before people found out the whole truth. And even if it was revealed, there would be nothing more to add. His mother promised she would supply food to several schools in Ansan without making any profits.
”Yes, that's right. She is my mother,” said Hyunwoo.
”Oh, what a coincidence! I'm so glad to meet you like this. Actually, I was going to inquire here and there to find it out. If you are available now, can I talk with you for a minute?”
Hyunwoo said, smiling brightly, ”How about this? Let's do give and take on each side.”
”Oh, you mean a deal? Sure. What can I do for you? Ah! You said you're here to see this producer. Hey, Producer Kim, can you help this man?” said Jaeyol, turning to Producer Kim. Jaeyol's idle informal speech suggested they were close friends.
Youngsu's face brightened at that moment, but Hyunwoo murmured 'Oh my goodness!' in his heart. In fact, there were many things he wanted to ask for in return of revealing the ident.i.ty of the angel without a face like airing the KO.VE. dream feature production that Kw.a.n.gsoo Han of Real Film was currently making in Vietnam or covering of the convention of trade exhibition both in Vietnam and Korea.
Without knowing Hyunwoo's intention, however, Youngsoo focused on securing the sponsors.h.i.+p of the upcoming soap opera studio set.
What if Hyunwoo brought up other topics? Jaeyol might wash his hands of it. In Hyunwoo's mind, the KO.VE. dream project and the trade exhibition deal was too big for a producer to handle.
Alright. Let's focus on the sponsors.h.i.+p for s.p.a.ce Design for now. I can take care of other projects when I get to cultivate a network in this field.
While Hyunwoo was thinking, Jaeyol kept nudging Producer Kim in the ribs.
Eventually, Producer Kim replied favorably, with a hearty laugh, ”Hahaha. Got it, man. All reporters like you are crooked anyway.”
”Did you just realize that? I really think you should help these men. Do you think just anyone can earn the t.i.tle of an ”angel without a face?”
Jaeyol persuaded Producer Kim, who also seemed to be interested in the words ”angel without a face.”
”You keep talking about the angel without a face. What is it?”
Jaeyol told him about the incident related to Ansan High School. It had already been a month since the story first broke out, so it was out of the public attention now.
Jaeyol came to hear about it by chance and immediately found out it was a big scoop, so he began to look into it quickly so that he could report about it before the winter vacation was over.
Youngsu, who was listening to Jaeyol quietly, smacked Hyunwoo's back with his open hand.
”Yea, I was right. I already knew it when the inspection team of the general affairs department of Aurum returned empty-handed after thoroughly inspecting the factory of Hyunwoo's Mom.”
”Inspection team of the general affairs?” asked Jaeyol, keenly interested.
Youngsu didn't hide anything. He even said that the real purpose of the inspection team was to find Hyunwoo's weakness to use it as a pretext to send him to the Seoul headquarters of s.p.a.ce Design.
Only then did Hyunwoo express regret about it.
”To be honest, you went too far, didn't you?” demanded Hyunwoo.
”Well, that was inevitable at the time. Don't feel so bad about it,” said Youngsu.
Jaeyol cut in, taking side with Youngsu, as if he found it an interesting occurrence, ”Yea, I agree with him. Please try to understand him. It's happening everywhere. I think that's very interesting.”
