Chapter 146
But it was Hyongbok's big miscalculation .
In fact, there was no reason whatsoever that Hyunwoo had to listen to Hyongbok's annoying complaint . Given the situation, it was Hyunwoo, not Hyongbok, who had the upper hand here .
Hyunwoo said in a chilly manner, “It looks like you have misunderstood . The reason I made KOVE Dream was because I wanted to make sales activities more convenient . So, I made some regulations and standards . What's wrong with that?”
“Oh, what I mean is not whether you are wrong or not, but it is not fair . Some companies are included, but others aren't . ”
“Do you think I am a philanthropist? Why are you taking issue with fairness because I have made KOVE Dream for my own? If you want to be included in the list, pa.s.s the standards I set . As I have to go now, let me hang up the phone,” said Hyunwoo .
After the call, he quickly headed home .
Seungwoo Paek was already waiting for him there . Before he left for the United States, he stopped by to say goodbye to Hyunwoo .
Seungwoo took Sungrak Sohn with him, who was learning on-the-job training from him .
When Hyunwoo arrived home, he found Seungwoo and Sungrak speaking with his parents .
They were escorted into Hyunwoo's room .
Seungwoo looked carefree . Though he might feel a bit scared to set foot in a strange place, he didn't .
“Originally I was planning to make an American dream with empty hands, but I've earned enough money thanks to you . Thanks, man,” he said to Hyunwoo .
“Oh, it's me who has to thank you . Thanks to your excellent sales activities I'm making lots of money here . Hope you can be a millionaire in America . By the way, the ratio of profits division is 8 to 2, as I told you . ”
As soon as Seungwoo had lunch, he left Ansan quickly . Sungrak also followed him, saying he would see Seungwoo off .
Seoul Broadcasting is one of the three major broadcasting networks in Korea, along with Korea Broadcasting and World Broadcasting .
The director of the cultural department of Seoul Broadcasting gave the staff a hard time every day . In terms of entertainment programs, Seoul Broadcasting was performing as well as Korea Broadcasting and World Broadcasting, but it lagged far behind in cultural programs .
“Hey, do you want to see me fired? If I am fired, do you think you can survive?”
His increasing pressure was killing the writer and the main producer, in particular . They had to find an item that could hit gold .
Then, someone in Vietnam called the cultural department, and said, “I run a toy company called DAS Toy in Vietnam . I called you to tip you off a big unprecedented scam that's happening here . Korea Broadcasting is involved here . ”
The female employee who received the call opened her eyes wide at the caller's mention of a big fraud involving Korea Broadcasting, but she was not excited . It could be a prank call or a disinformation call .
“Did you mention a fraud? What is it?”
“Have you heard about KOVE Dream?”
She heard of it for the first time . While he was explaining to her, she faintly remembered she heard of it before . She recalled watching a TV program related to a castor dream team .
“KOVE DREAM is the work of swindlers . They are deceiving the people as if they have excellent technology . The real dream team is 'Dream Korea' here in Vietnam . I hope Seoul Broadcasting can reveal the truth to the whole world . ”
After the call, she wrote down the gist of what the caller argued and gave it to the producer .
The producer looked very surprised, “KOVE DREAM? In fact, we tried to cover it some time ago, but Korea Broadcasting stole our thunder . ”
“The caller argues KOVE DREAM is a fake dream team . ”
The producer gave her a doubtful look .
“Isn't it possible that somebody made the call to slander KOVE DREAM because he was not included in it?”
Other producers were of the same opinion .
“Just ignore the call . We don't have to meddle in their fighting . ”
But there was one producer who raised an objection . Though he was not as experienced as other producers and younger than them, he was on his way up with the blessings of the director .
And he was pretty greedy about promotion, so he bent over backward to get results once he got wind of something . That's why everybody called him a “bulldog . ”
“I don't think our hasty conclusion is correct . The caller's tip-off could be true . Why don't we dig into it first?” he said .
“Hey, it only wastes time and money . ”
“Yea, this can't be true . I think it is sheer slandering . ”
But the young producer was not persuaded . “Let me report it to the director . ”
Then, he ran to the director's office .
The director had the same mentality as him . Keeping his position and getting a promotion, not chasing the truth, was more important to him .
“Hey, just go ahead with digging into it . You have to pick holes in Korea Broadcasting by all means, so this time we have to beat them . ”
“It might be a false tip-off . ”
“Doesn't matter . We just relay what the caller argues . Then, it is not us, but the caller who is making lies . The thing is we should get a higher rating with this reporting . ”
The bulldog producer could figure out the director's intention . Namely, Seoul Broadcasting can only represent their voice, while the judgment of the tip-off belongs to the viewers, who should also bear the responsibility .
Back to the office, the bulldog producer conveyed the director's firm resolve, and then called Hyongbok, the caller .
“Hi, our Seoul Broadcasting intends to cover it . I'm seeking your cooperation . ”
After the call, Hyongbok curled up one of his lips and murmured, “Yah, Hyunwoo, did you think I would sit idle? No way! Let's see who will lose more here . How dare you look down on me?”
Hyunwoo's mobile phone buzzed noisily .
