I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

34 – Suspicious article (2)

I relayed it to Manager Ko Kang-tae.

Jeil Entertainment, a competitor, is trying to recruit me by offering me double the salary.

“You too are amazing.”

… Manager Go Kang-tae heard me and gave me a double slap.

Well, if you don’t want to send me somewhere else, you were telling me outright that you should treat me properly.

For me, it would be easy to refuse a job change offer if Lucky Seven Entertainment showed that much sincerity.

In an era where the concept of lifelong employment has disappeared, it seems a bit strange to leave one’s bones with one company without any good reason.

As far as I know, most of the producers who recently achieved good results at Lucky Seven Entertainment have moved to Jeil Entertainment.

“Actually, we already discussed it with the CEO and decided to increase your salary significantly.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“I don’t know the specific amount, but I think it’s roughly 1.5 Times the amount.”

Lucky Seven Entertainment paid more attention to entertainment than I thought.

Well, first of all, it recorded 3 consecutive hits.

“You haven’t exactly negotiated the scouting conditions yet, right?”

“Yes. Honestly, I would like to continue working at Lucky Seven Entertainment.”

“But I guess that’s because the conditions presented by Jeil Entertainment are so good, right?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, then first meet with the entertainment company and tell me all the conditions presented there. I will talk to the CEO and adjust as much as possible. “We, no, I have expectations from you.”

“Thank you. “Then I will go to Gangnam for a while.”

I politely greeted Manager Go Kang-tae and left the manager’s office.

Things turned out better than expected.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m currently the only successful project at Lucky Seven Entertainment, but

I thought I could at least double my salary.

In fact, there was no need for other welfare services.

The best welfare for office workers is salary.

… I would have liked to work less overtime, but that was unavoidable since I was hosting three idol groups at the same time.

I called a taxi using a smartphone app.

I couldn’t take the company car, and I couldn’t walk from Mapo, where Lucky Seven Entertainment’s headquarters were located, to Gangnam.

I think public transportation will take a while.

If I get a salary increase this time, should I buy a domestic car? .

[Jeil Entertainment]

As expected, Jeil Entertainment, like a large entertainment agency, had a tall headquarters building.

I called the CEO’s secretary again and he came out to meet me.

After receiving polite guidance, I entered the CEO’s office on the top floor.

The black nameplate was immediately visible.

[CEO Dae-yeop Han]

After the executive director level, will we meet face to face with the president level? .

I feel nervous even when I meet the CEO, but he is the CEO of such a large company.

If you measure your blood pressure now, your internist may tell you that you need to take high blood pressure medication right away.

“Oh, are you here?”

“Hello.”

The person who carries out dirty sabotage, the representative of Jeil Entertainment.

In the [Idol Producing] Game, he only appeared as a black silhouette, so it was my first time seeing his appearance.

… But he was a very friendly-looking guy.

He did not feel like the CEO of such a large company, but rather the owner of a friendly local bakery who seemed to be sure to give him an extra bonus.

Honestly, Manager Ko Kang-tae and Executive Director Yeom Chang-ho had a sharper impression, so they seemed more like villains.

I realized once again that you shouldn’t judge people just by looking at their appearance.

Is this kind-looking guy working hard behind the scenes?

“Please sit down, not stand.”

“Yes.”

CEO Dae-yeop Han put his butt on the sofa pointed by his hand.

I knew it right away as soon as I sat down.

Wow, this seating feeling.

It’s not an average priced sofa.

I asked where it was and wanted to put it in my office.

“Don’t young people these days hate talking about things that don’t matter?”

“Well, I think it varies from person to person, even young people.”

“hehehe, I see. Anyway, I’ll go in anyway. “Is it true that our Im Producer planned Cursed Dolls, Berries, and Afternoon Sweets?”

Is Jeil Entertainment short for producer, called Producer?

The culture is strangely different in this place.

In the game, it was replaced with the player’s name, so it was an unknown element.

“Yes, that’s right. In the case of Berries, there were some twists and turns, so they went to another producer and then came back to me.”

“Ah, you mean that scandalous Produce that was on the news? “I was touched when I saw how well our Im Producer saved the lives of those poor kids.”

“Thank you.”

Someone would think that I really sympathized with the Berryz members.

CEO Dae-yeop Han is also quite the moneymaker.

As someone who knows this person’s true intentions, I felt like I was going to vomit at his unique pretense.

No matter how good the sofa feels, the people facing each other like this seem like sh*t.

“That’s why our Im Producer called us to see if he could help us out.”

“No.”

“Well, of course, we wouldn’t ask a talented person like Im Produce to do it bare-handed. “As you may have heard, I will give you twice your current salary as standard.”

For a representative’s words, he came out in a fairly low-key manner.

This is probably a tactic to use one’s warm appearance to catch the opponent off guard as much as possible.

They say that the bigger the fraudster, the more sane he is.

“Thank you for giving me such a great suggestion.”

“hehehe, don’t be so humble.”

“But my house is in Mapo and I don’t have a car….”

“Oh, then how about 2.5 Times your annual salary including all such expenses?”

2.5 Times annual salary….

Wait a minute.

Your annual salary is in the hundreds of millions, right?

“I’ll even match your position. To the level of manager. However, since you are still a bit young, if you succeed in just one project, I will immediately raise you based on that.”

Manager level at 30?

Well, 2.5 Times the annual salary was equivalent to a manager level salary.

… But anyway, I think it’s too early.

I thought it would be more difficult to lead someone older than me as a subordinate.

And honestly, as a producer, I still wanted to meet idols in person and nurture them.

I couldn’t tell if it was the same at Jeil Entertainment, but looking at Manager Go Kang-tae, it seemed like he met idols less often.

“I understand. “Can I think about it for a bit and then contact you?”

“Since you are a young person, why not make a quick decision here? If there’s anything you want, tell me more. Oh, do you like cars? Since he’s a young guy, I could pick up a BNW car for him. “I know someone.”

It’s not BMW, it’s BNW here….

CEO Dae-yeop Han somehow showed his will to scout me.

For some reason, they tried to treat me much better than what was shown in the [Idol Producing] Game event story.

Probably because I had a huge hit with Cursed Dolls, Berries, and Afternoon Sweets.

“I’m sorry, I can’t decide company issues on my own. “I’m a little embarrassed at this age, but I need to discuss it with my parents.”

CEO Dae-yeop Han licked his lips with regret.

No matter how much of a person I am, I can’t talk about my parents carelessly.

He’s trying to scout me, but he’s probably being even more careful about what he says.

“I understand. If you have any further questions or need help, please contact me at any time through the secretary.”

“Thank you.”

I got up from the comfortable sofa and left Jeil Entertainment’s headquarters.

And then I went straight back to Lucky Seven Entertainment and relayed everything to Manager Ko Kang-tae.

… I didn’t want to be a manager, so I left that out.

The most important thing, 2.5 Times annual salary, was emphasized.

“I don’t know your current salary exactly, but…. I think 2.5 Times would be similar to me or more than me…. Would you like to be the manager?”

“No.”

I flatly refused.

I don’t need the position of manager, just give me the money.

Knock knock.

Afternoon Suites Accommodation.

Jo Min-ju knocked on Gu Ga-eun’s door.

“Ga-eun, come on… ?”

“No… ? Why… ?”

Goo Ga-eun opened the door and answered Jo Min-joo, who was holding her pillow.

“…… “Do you want to sleep with me?”

“Ugh… ? Wow… ! Minjoo is surprisingly childlike… !!”

“Wow, it’s really done!”

“Child, don’t get upset… !!”

Gu Ga-eun grabbed Jo Min-joo’s arm as he was about to close the door.

Gu Ga-eun noticed Jo Min-joo’s face right away.

She says why she wants to sleep with him.

“I’m anxious… ?”

“…… Huh. I believe you will solve it well…. I’m afraid that something will go wrong and I’ll go back home…….”

“Why am I anxious about returning home… ?”

Gu Ga-eun, whose parents were still alive and well and who gave affection to her child, could not understand Jo Min-joo’s words.

Jo Min-ju also thought that Gu Ga-eun would have gone through an ordinary childhood like herself.

If the worst happens and she is unable to continue being an idol and has to return home, Goo Ga-eun will also be left with great regret.

She will not feel anxious about returning to her original home.

“I didn’t tell you about my house…” . Let me tell you… ….”

Jo Min-ju went to Gu Ga-eun’s bed first and lay down.

Goo Ga-eun also lay in bed, covering herself with the blanket with Jo Min-joo.

“You have a mom and a dad, Ga-eun…. “My dad was a gambling addict and my mom is an alcoholic.”

Jo Min-joo begins to talk little by little about her family environment.

This was the first time Goo Ga-eun had actually heard her story like that.

She said that what she saw in movies and dramas really existed?

Gu Ga-eun couldn’t say anything.

She felt sorry for herself that she had no one to talk to at times like this.

She just lightly hugged Jo Min-joo, who was in tears, to her chest.

From noble mtl dot com

“I don’t know much about that…. I’m sorry…….”

“No, I just wanted you to know…” . “But it’s getting better now that I’m doing it like this.”

“Okay… ?”

With the intention of helping her close friend Jo Min-joo feel better,

Goo Ga-eun hugged her Jo Min-joo tighter.

“…… I envy you.”

“What…?” ?”

“Big breasts.”

Jo Min-joo placed her face on Ga-eun’s chest and cupped her.

The ends of Jo Min-joo’s hair touched her skin and it tickled.

She was usually more mature than Gu Ga-eun, but Gu Ga-eun never expected to see her weak like this.

“As expected, Ga-eun needs to eat well to have big breasts….”

“I heard her breasts are hereditary, like her height… !”

“…… “Ga-eun, please don’t suddenly attack me while I’m on my way.”

Jo Min-ju lifted her face from her former Ga-eun’s chest.

She then placed her head on the pillow she had brought with her.

Her self put her hand on her chest once.

It’s not that she doesn’t exist at all, but she doesn’t have the soft and innocent feel of Goo Ga-eun.

I felt like the sky was a little unfair.

If she gave Goo Ga-eun her good family, she did not give herself big breasts, but even gave Goo Ga-eun her big breasts.

“Starting tomorrow, I’m going to visit the kids interviewed for that article.”

“The producer didn’t just tell me to stay still…” ?”

“Yes, but…” , I want to do something too. I don’t want to just wait for you like this. It’s my life. “I have to try.”

“Wow, that’s cool…” !”

“… That’s sarcastic. “You big-breasted idiot.”

Jo Min-joo put her hand in Ga-eun’s armpit and moved her fingers wildly.

Gu Ga-eun said, “Ah… ! hahahaha… !” And she was tickled.

“…… “Are you making dirty noises on purpose?”

“Hey, that sounds dirty…” ?”

“This pervert.”

“Perverted girl… ?! I’m not an idiot anymore, I’m a pervert now… ?!”

Jo Min-ju exclaimed and burst into laughter.

Gu Ga-eun also laughed.

“I will also help you with democracy… ! It’s better than doing it alone… ?”

“Okay. Please, Ga-eun.”

“Yes… !!”

At first, her relationship was just uncomfortable and awkward;

I’m glad I formed a duo with him now.

It made both Jo Min-joo and Gu Ga-eun think.

***

That’s a f*cking annual salary in the hundreds of millions!

It is said that the CEO of Lucky Seven Entertainment promised to give him 2.5 Times his current annual salary.

… None of the afternoon sweets suspicions have been resolved yet, but I was the only one who benefited.

As I expected, Jo Min-ju made the move himself.

Even though he had a busy schedule, he seemed to be calling all the kids at school to see if they had agreed to be interviewed.

In fact, the student who was interviewed by the media seemed to have complained that he, too, had been unfairly treated.

Of course, I didn’t find out by secretly following Jo Min-ju.

I heard it through manager Ha Sang-ah.

Perhaps Jo Min-joo is acting with the mindset that she is hiding something from me.

To manager Ha Sang-ah in advance,

“You said you would help me in secret, so you follow what Minju is doing.”

I told you so.

Of course, everything was reported to me.

Students and teachers who realized that the interview had been sent maliciously spread the word on the Internet through SNS and communities that they had been deceived by the reporter.

I didn’t want that article to just be buried, so I asked a reporter with connections to Lucky Seven Entertainment to write an article by mentioning the SNS article.

Are you the only ones at Jeil Entertainment who know how to play the media?

Of course, I knew that suspicions of Jo Min-ju’s school violence would not go away.

It’s just a bit of a counterargument.

The four female students who had been harassing Goo Ga-eun were still making false complaints to the media that they had been harmed by Jo Min-joo.

If I were to say that I was just playing around with salary negotiations, that wasn’t the case.

In order to resolve suspicions about Goo Ga-eun’s father’s chance, we first looked for an in-house trainee who was interviewed by the media.

Of course, I’m not trying to track them down and send them out.

If you feel so wronged, they will give you a chance.

Prove that you guys really have better skills than Goo Ga-eun.

“Hey, Pro Lim….”

Producer Cho Hyun-ho looked at me and asked.

“Are you really going to let Jeil Entertainment handle this audition?”

I am resolute,

“Yes.”

I answered with a grin.
