Chapter 180: Chapter 177

Deep inside, Hyunwoo wanted to have Zuung work right beside him. He could see her beautiful face every day if she worked in his office, but that was his personal matter, and he had to keep his private and public life separate. He had to focus only on her ability and the atmosphere of her possible joining the staff here.

Her joining had both merits and demerits.

The staff here might not be able to focus on their work. There was a real possibility that the male staff would compete to win her heart.

On the other hand, the opposite situation could be created. For example, they might work harder to get on her good side.

Hyunwoo felt like he would be conscious of her if she worked in the same office. And he would try to gain her attention by doing what she liked and avoiding what she didn't like.

Certainly, her presence in the office would change the atmosphere a lot.

Hyunwoo was satisfied with the current atmosphere of the office. He didn't feel it would be any better no matter how hard he tried.

And it's not just in Korea alone that she could display her ability. She could create animation characters in the Vietnamese branch of Ani & Funny.

In that respect her joining the headquarters here would be unnecessary for now.

Phew…if a woman is too beautiful, it can be a problem…

Taesu's eyes glittered sharply.

“What did you say? Failed to scout her? What the heck are you talking about?” he yelled.

“Sorry, sir. No matter how good an offer I made, she rejected it. Oops!”

The manager was stunned to see him throw an ashtray at him and shrunk. Fortunately, it missed his head narrowly and hit the wall behind him.

The manager's heart sank. If he had not avoided it in time, he would have been injured badly enough to have several sutures put in his head.

“I don't want to hear your excuses. Go and scout her! If he is not satisfied with 100 million won, offer him 200 million!”

“It's all useless, sir. Jinyoung Paek is behind all this stuff,” the manager revealed Jinyoung when Taesu was trying to throw something at him again.

Taesu stopped and asked, “What the heck? Jinyoung Paek?”

“Besides, the president of Ani & Funny that manages Angela is Hyunwoo Jang. Actually, he is the guy that you told me to do a background check on.”

“Ah… Hyunwoo Jang and Nami Yu!”

Taesu suddenly sprang to his feet.

He now could understand the situation clearly. The moment he heard Hyunwoo and Nami, Taesu realized why Angela rejected his offer.

Obviously, they persuaded Angela. Showing her Nami's s.e.x video and related articles as an example, they must have told her that someday she would suffer the same disgrace.

Taesu's face was distorted.

“Son of a b.i.t.c.h!”

What was more disappointing to him was Jinyoung Paek. Taesu gave him such a grave warning, but Jinyoung made an enemy of him.

Taesu vowed he would get even with Jinyoung by all means. He would have Jinyoung learn the lesson what kind of consequences he would face for his betrayal.

With a stunned look, Jinyoung asked, “What are you talking about? Our performance schedule has been canceled?”

“Sorry. We have decided to put another new singer in that slot. Let's talk about ‘Duckling Fly' at some other time.”

It was a unilateral notice. The music producer involved left without explaining to Jinyoung about the reason in detail.

Other music programs involving Duckling Fly were no exception. Jinhon and Angela had been on a tight schedule on TV, but it was all cancelled.

One of the producers close to Jinyoung tipped him off cautiously, “Did you make an enemy of the president of AT Entertainment?”

Hearing that, Jinyoung's jaws dropped.

In fact, Jinyoung expected Taesu would take revenge against him. He knew that Taesu tried to scout Angela with a huge amount of money, and he guessed that when all the TV programs involving Duckling Fly were canceled, Taesu was behind it.

But he was now freaking out as he confirmed Taesu was the mastermind of all this mean stuff.

The music producer hit the nail on the head when he pointed out Taesu's act.

He said, “Actually, Taesu threatened he would not send any entertainer of his company to the programs where Jinhon and Angela were supposed to appear. I had no idea what happened, but he is really determined to go after you. Don't tell anybody I tipped you off on this.”

“Of course, brother. Thanks for letting me know.”

Jinyoung came back to the waiting room, where Jinhon and Angela were busy preparing for the performance without knowing anything. He couldn't tell him their schedule was canceled.

With a sigh, he went out and called Hyunwoo.

Fortunately, he was staying in Seoul to prepare for the trade fair that would be opened in three days.
