Chapter 132: Chapter 132
”Are you sure? Thanks so much.Thanks a million.”
Not only Hyunwoo but also Youngsu bowed to Producer Kim without caring about saving their face.
Reporter Jaeyol Song said to Hyunwoo with a satisfactory look, ”Shall we move to a conference room over there? I'd like to ask a lot about you, Hyunwoo. You can join us, too, Youngsu.”
”Got it.”
Both of them followed Jaeyol to the conference room.
Before he accepted Jaeyol's interview request, Hyunwoo called his mother, just in case.
”I'm fine. Just do what you want,” she said.
Only then did he okay Jaeyol's request.
Hyunwoo expected Jaeyol and Producer Mansoo Kim to become his bridgehead to the people in the broadcasting business. It was important for him to have a good relations.h.i.+p with Jaeyol and Mansoo first.
After the interview, Hyunwoo called Kw.a.n.gsoo Han of Real Film.
”Brother, do I have to wait further before you can complete the a.s.signed program about us?”
”Almost done. I'm doing a final review of it. I think I can show you the finished production tomorrow. By the way, why did you suddenly call me? Did the broadcasting guys contact you?”
”Well, we never know when the opportunity comes along. When we're ready, we can make use of it at any time.”
”You're right. Let me finish it as soon as possible and show it to you.”
Back at his office Hyunwoo and Youngsu high-fived again.
Minhye Park acted as CEO at least during her business hours. She never showed any private feelings.
”Do you have any good news?”
”Finally, we obtained a sponsors.h.i.+p,” said Youngsu confidently.
Instantly Minhye's face brightened. She sprang to her feet and shouted, ”Yay! Great job. I think we're already halfway there.”
”Soon they will send us the script. All we have to do is pick the studio set that we like most and make a design based on that. They also agreed to connect us to other producers. Looks like everything is going smoothly from the beginning.”
”What a good job! I thought you could make it,” said Minhye.
However, Youngsu shook his head at her praise, and said, ”It's not my credit. Totally Hyunwoo's credit. Thanks to the sudden appearance of an ”angel without a face” we easily won their hearts.”
”Angel without a face?”
When Minhye showed curiosity, Youngsu began to tell her about everything boastfully.
Minhye was really stunned. She was aware of how difficult it was to put sharing and donation into practice as she sometimes did it with her father Daebong Park.
Though it was a credit to Hyunwoo's mother, Minhye still felt Hyunwoo was really cool.
She confirmed recently that there was little room for her to wiggle into his heart but still felt attracted to him. Her eyes looked at him and trembled like the morning star.
A bit embarra.s.sed, Hyunwoo laughed loudly to ease his awkwardness, ”Hahaha. I think that's a good sign of business.”
Now Hyunwoo felt his heart lightened a bit. He felt as if he repaid a bit what he owed Aurum, but this was only the beginning of business in the field.
Coming to her senses quickly, Minhye went back to her CEO demeanor.
”Hey, you have to be ready to work through the night the moment we receive the script. Got it, designers? You have to finish the work as soon as possible to get the contract.”
Late that evening after they were done for the day, Minhye offered to have a get-together dinner.
”We got the sponsors.h.i.+p right at the end of the day. How can we pa.s.s the day without wining and dining?”
”Of course. You should treat us to a drink,” said Youngsu, who enjoyed drinking.
Though Hyunwoo wanted to bow out, not only Youngsu but also his friend Yonggu stopped him.
So, he agreed to join their first drinking session only.
However, even before the first session was over, his cell phone buzzed.
It was a call from Dukwoo Jang, Nami Yu's boyfriend.
Hyunwoo quickly picked up the phone as he felt there was something wrong.
Though it was still early evening, Dukwoo was already drunk.
”Hey, brother. Nami is really making me crazy.”
Hyunwoo had a feeling of sinking in the pit of his stomach. He thought everything was going smoothly between Dukwoo and Nami, but apparently, it was not.
”Where are you now? Let me come to you right now.”
After the call, Hyunwoo got out of the get-together dinner. Though everybody wanted to stop him, n.o.body could do so.
It was quite a long distance away and cost more than 30,000 won by taxi to get there.
When Hyunwoo arrived at the bar, Dukwoo had bloodshot eyes and was much drunker than when he first called.
”What's wrong, man? Did Nami do something mean to you?”
Dukwoo let out a long sigh before answering, ”Phew. It looks like she is getting closer to the president of the entertainment company she is affiliated with. I am afraid I'll lose her.”
”As you know, any entertainer should curry favor with the president of their company, right? Don't you think so?”
Instead of replying, Dukwoo presented an envelope.
When Hyunwoo looked into it, there was a picture of Nami seemingly on a date with a man.
