I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

36 – Suspicious Article (4)

The manager in charge of Afternoon Sweets—Ha Sang-ah—visited the house where Afternoon Sweets member—Jo Minjoo originally lived.

Old hallway-style apartment.

She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.

It was an older model that did not have a camera on the doorbell.

But there was no response.

Is there no one inside?

I pressed it two or three more times, but there was no change.

When I looked down, I saw that it was not an electronic door lock, but an analog lock that you turn with a key.

Will it ever be opened?

I held his hand and turned it clockwise.

Squeak—.

I really didn’t lock the door.

Why do I live like this? It’s dangerous….

Thinking like that, I carefully opened the door.

It could be that I just went out and forgot to lock the door.

“Ugh… !”

Manager Ha Sang-ah covered his nose with his hand.

The smell of alcohol and trash mixed together created a stench that made it hard to believe that this was a place where people lived.

It was almost like a garbage dump would be more fragrant.

“Are you there…?” ?”

There was a tattered pair of shoes on the floor.

It didn’t look like he had gone out since there were no other shoes in the shoe cabinet.

Still, other people might misunderstand it, so I closed the front door and went in.

The floor was too dirty for her to take off her shoes and step on them, so she just left them on and headed into the house.

Soju bottles, used sanitary pads, clothes we don’t know when were washed, and pieces of toilet paper we don’t know what we wiped with decorated the floor.

The bathroom door was open, and it stayed there even though the toilet water backed up.

Manager Ha Sang-ah looked away and urgently looked for Jo Min-joo’s mother.

“Is there anyone…?” ?”

It felt like the beginning of a story in a horror movie where the main characters enter a haunted house and become angry.

After finding out, I even thought that Jo Min-joo’s mother may have already passed away.

According to what she heard, she was already a ruined alcoholic, and after her husband’s death, instead of working, she committed the outrageous act of asking her daughter to pay for her alcohol.

Tap!

Something caught Manager Ha Sang-ah’s ankle.

Goosebumps appeared all over her body and she broke into a cold sweat.

“Kyaaak, kyaak!!”

“Shut up… , Head hurts… ….”

I rolled my eyes in the direction the voice came from, to the point where I wondered if my hair hadn’t been washed in days, or even months.

A musty old lady was lying face down on the floor.

Manager Ha Sang-ah doesn’t even want to touch the floor.

She thought she had managed to put her whole body on this floor.

This person must be Jo Min-joo’s mother.

Manager Ha Sang-ah took two or three deep breaths to calm her startled heart.

“Hey, there, that…” . “Are you Jo Min-ju’s mother?”

“Democracy… ? Ji Ji-bae, where on earth did he run away from home? . “Why, did that Jijibae fall?”

I can’t believe you used the expression that you were upset when you saw your own child.

I pitied Jo Min-joo for having such a woman as her mother.

It seemed like they could take advantage of the fact that Jo Min-joo thought he had run away from home.

In any case, according to producer Lim Boo-gil’s instructions, it must not be revealed that Ha Sang-ah is a manager at Lucky Seven Entertainment.

“Hello, I am the person in charge of protecting Minjoo, who ran away from home.”

“Oh, yes…” . Hello… …. So where is Minju? I’m tired of begging….”

She is not looking for Jo Min-joo because she is worried about her daughter.

She didn’t want to make money on her own, so she talked about looking for someone to make money instead of her.

Manager Ha Sang-ah once again understood why Jo Min-ju quickly fell in love with producer Im Bu-gil.

She couldn’t help but like that she lived in this kind of home environment and was rescued by producer Gil when she was pregnant.

She will at least think of him as the benefactor of her life.

“Mother, Minjoo is living like this now.”

Manager Ha Sang-ah played a video of Jo Min-ju dancing and singing on Music On on her smartphone.

Jo Min-joo’s mother opened her closed eyes slightly.

“This is Minjoo… ? Was she this pretty? ?”

“She became a very popular idol. So she said she was sweeping the money into sacks.”

“Wow, that much money…” ? Why don’t you give me, the mother, even a penny…… ?”

“That’s right. “My mother is having a hard time begging every day.”

Jo Min-joo’s mother clenched her teeth.

The corners of her eyes rose, as if she was hating.

Manager Ha Sang-ah said it with his own intention, but

I really felt Jo Min-joo’s mother was pathetic.

She would not be able to bless her child if he made a lot of money.

On the contrary, you are angry.

“But actually, there is a legal problem with this. “If Minju wants to sign a contract with an agency and make money, he needs his mother’s consent.”

“There was nothing like that… ….”

“Yes, that means it is illegal. “Don’t you think there’s a need to scold Minjoo, who abandoned her single mother and lives on her own?”

“That’s right, what our teacher said… ! That rotten b*tch… , You are so ungrateful, not knowing that I have raised you all this time…….”

Manager Ha Sang-ah took out the content certification document that she had received from producer Lim Boo-gil in advance from her backpack.

And he pointed to Jo Min-joo’s mother at the (seal) at the bottom of the document.

“The seal is in the drawer over there… ….”

“Yes, I understand.”

After taking out the stamp with Jo Min-ju’s mother’s name engraved on it from the drawer,

Apply inju well,

Hold on—.

I put my seal on the content certification document.

“We will file a lawsuit against this agency on your behalf. “Minju, please be very scolded.”

“Yes, thank you sir…” !”

Manager Ha Sang-ah left the house in a hurry after that.

I wouldn’t have done something like this if Lucky Seven Entertainment hadn’t paid me a generous salary.

‘… ‘Shall I buy Minju a meal?’

Like cheap virgins,

Manager Ha Sang-ah walked to the post office.

“This bastard!!”

Clink—.

Jeil Entertainment CEO—Han Dae-yeop threw the ashtray to the floor.

Lucky Seven Entertainment suddenly sent a strange proposal asking me to take charge of the afternoon Sweets audition.

Of course, the practitioner refused.

But as if he had been waiting for that,

[Jeil Entertainment refuses to proceed with the afternoon Sweets re-election audition… Gu Ga-eun’s dad’s chance again?]

An article was posted as if Jeil Entertainment had accepted a bribe from Afternoon Sweets member Koo Ga-eun’s father and refused.

As soon as the article was posted, the parent company requested an accurate explanation of the circumstances.

If you leave this as is, Jeil’s entertainment will go down along with Lucky Seven’s entertainment.

Could not take first place in the industry.

On the contrary, it could have damaged the corporate image and contributed to a decline in sales.

This water ghost operation,

When I thought about Amman, there was only producer Lim Boo-gil.

“Representative, what do you want to do?”

The secretary picked up the ashtray that had fallen on the floor and spoke to CEO Dae-yeop Han.

“How do I do something? “If we complain that we’re not doing it here, we’ll only be ruining our image.”

“Then, we will direct you to conduct the afternoon sweets audition.”

CEO Dae-yeop Han sighed deeply.

It was written in the proposal that all costs for the audition would be borne by Lucky Seven Entertainment.

Being in charge of conducting auditions for idols from other companies is already beyond the pale.

This audition will definitely be in the spotlight of the public and media, so if there is a problem with the audition process,

Jeil Entertainment had to take responsibility.

Should we manipulate it?

The audition method, which is conducted through 100% viewer voting, was able to sufficiently modify the data values in the middle.

If you select a less skilled trainee instead of Gu Ga-eun,

Naturally, the popularity of afternoon sweets will cool down.

‘There’s no way that bastard didn’t think of that….’

If Koo Ga-eun really shows outstanding skills compared to other trainees, but falls short,

Jeil Entertainment could have been suspected of manipulation.

In that case, all that needed to be done was to focus on areas where Koo Ga-eun did not excel.

If Gu Ga-eun is seen falling behind other trainees in Lucky Seven Entertainment,

From noble mtl dot com

Of course, there was nothing strange about Gu Ga-eun falling.

Vote manipulation is not suspected when the public’s votes are divided to some extent.

It was said that the majority of the public voted for Goo Ga-eun, but if a trainee other than Koo Ga-eun is selected, suspicions of vote manipulation arise.

‘You probably thought you were counterattacking me, but you’re clumsy, Im Produce.’

Now that it is like this,

Be sure to bring down the afternoon sweets,

I will also give producer Lim Boo-gil a scary experience.

I treated him personally as kindly as possible,

You stab people in the back like this?

A bastard who doesn’t even know business ethics.

The more I thought about it, the more my head heated up.

CEO Dae-yeop Han took out his smart phone and made a call.

-Yes, boss.

“Is business going well these days?”

-Thanks to you, things are going well. Is there anyone else you don’t like?

“I heard that it’s good that our Director Kim is quick-witted.”

-Thank you.

Press the home button on your smartphone to briefly leave the phone screen,

I sent the saved information about Producer Lim Boo-gil as a text message to the person on the other end of the phone.

“There is this bastard named Imbu-gil.”

-Yes, boss.

“Just scare me so I don’t come forward.”

-Okay.

“I’ll pass on the dinner expenses through my secretary, so you can feed the kids well.”

-Thank you. Well, I’ll leave it at that later today or tomorrow.

“Okay, okay. Thanks for your effort.”

Let’s see how much longer I can be a producer.

CEO Dae-yeop Han thought to himself.

***

It went as expected.

Jo Min-joo’s mother sent her proof of contents to Lucky Seven Entertainment,

Jeil Entertainment contacted me again to conduct the afternoon Sweets audition.

“Producer~ Would you like to have a quick drink after work today?”

“Yes, it’s Song.”

Office 302.

Manager Jeong Song-i snuggled up next to me and said.

… No, you say you like men taking the lead, so why do you suggest it?

She wished she could see her status window as well.

If I produce her as her idol, will her status window appear? ?

“Manager and producer, you’re hot! “If you’re a girlfriend, you should be considerate of your boyfriend!”

Cursed Dolls member—Gong Si-on grabbed manager Jeong Song-i.

Manager Jeong Song-i fell away from my side.

“Mr. Shion, aren’t you meddling too much between me and the producer?”

“I said that with the producer in mind, right? “Isn’t the manager being a little selfish?”

“We’re lovers, so it doesn’t matter if I act a little selfish, right?”

“It’s a nuisance to the producer, that is.”

The manager got into a fight with the idol he was in charge of….

I also thought that it was my mistake to decide to pretend that Jeongsong was dating her manager.

Jo Min-joo didn’t care at all whether I had a girlfriend or not.

Gong Si-ion deliberately started a fight one by one.

“Both of you, I’m fine, so calm down.”

Hearing my words, Gong Shi-on glared harshly at Manager Jeong Song-i,

“You know you can’t throw away your job as a manager just because we broke up later, right?”

And turned around.

Manager Jeong Song-i distorted her face for a moment, but she quickly returned to her usual smile.

In any case, given her position as the Cursed Dolls manager, she probably knows not to fight too much with the idol in charge.

… You know, right?

[Name: Gong Si-on]

[Current Thoughts: Why is it that you are the manager…? ….]

Manager Jeong Song-i was quite capable as a manager.

I think that’s why the Cursed Dolls members were in a bit of a mixed mood.

If she wants to continue being an idol, she needs to have a competent manager.

Her words were harsh, but that doesn’t mean they would want Manager Jeong Song-i to quit her job as a manager altogether.

Cursed Dolls member—Choi Ju-yoon pulled my sleeve weakly.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hey, but…. Why did she break up with her original girlfriend…… ?”

[Name: Joo-yoon Choi]

[Current thought: I shouldn’t follow the same path as the producer’s ex-girlfriend….]

… I’m assuming that you’ll date me someday.

How should I answer?

Because it was a virtual girlfriend, I just pressed the delete button and it disappeared.

I needed to give an answer that would make me look like trash as much as possible.

Finding out that the guy I liked was a piece of trash is enough to cool my heart.

“I’m sick of it.”

“I’m sick of it… ?”

“You’ve dated a lot in two years, right? “Honestly, what’s the point in continuing to eat fish that I’ve already tasted?”

Now, how disappointed are you?

I looked at the status window.

… I was worried that I may have said it too harshly.

If you go to the level of hatred and say you won’t receive any more productions from me and shout for a producer change like Berryz, that won’t work.

[Name: Joo-yoon Choi]

[Current thought: There are three of us, so we won’t get tired of it… !!]

Isn’t the bean pod too harsh, Jooyun?

Do you want to date a man who treats women like they are his property?

By the way, are you really planning on sharing me with the Cursed Dolls members? ?

Cursed Dolls who want to share me, and Afternoon Sweets member who says it’s okay to be second—Jo Min-joo.

I don’t know why everyone is so extreme….

Have a normal relationship, guys.

Jeongsong slowly turned her head towards her manager.

Perhaps she already knew the purpose of what I said,

There was no disturbance.

What I just said was that if my current girlfriend gets tired of me, I will abandon her.

“Uh, um… …. Professor Lim, I finished my work today, but can I leave work first? ?”

Producer Cho Hyun-ho, who was quietly sitting next to me, asked me carefully.

“Yes, that’s right. “I’m going to leave work soon.”

“Then let’s go first. Thank you for your effort.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

Producer Cho Hyun-ho hurriedly left office 302 with his bag and jacket in hand.

… Maybe it was because the Cursed Dolls were there that it felt uncomfortable to stay in office 302.

“Producer, let’s go quickly.”

“Yes, it’s Song.”

Was Manager Jeong Song-i always this charming?

Well, they say that there are some people who show a different side to their boyfriend than to other people.

I don’t know because I have no experience….

“You guys, go back to your dorm and get some rest. “I have to go to bed early because I have to run to an event in Busan tomorrow.”

“Yes!” “… ….” “Yes… !!”

Cursed Dolls members—Gong Shi-on, Kang Eva, Choi Ju-yoon, and manager Jeong Song-i locked the office door together.

Then, Manager Jeong Song-i and her walked towards an izakaya near the company, linking arms.

Jump, jump, jump.

I kept hearing footsteps coming from behind me.

… No matter how much I think about this, are you following me?

Jung Song whispered into the manager’s ear.

“Song, when I give the signal, run immediately. “To the police station.”

“Yes, yes…” ? Wow, suddenly that’s—.”

I hit her hard on the shoulder.

Although she had an incomprehensible expression, she listened to me carefully.

She sprinted straight away.

“f*ck you, bastard, are you showing off in front of your own woman?”

“You’re very sweet, huh?”

Immediately after that, five strong men behind me pushed my shoulders.

The Irezumi tattoo revealed from the sleeveless shirt was noticeable.

Ah, these are them.

A gangster with ties to CEO Han Dae-yeop.

This also appeared in the [Idol Producing] Event story,

I didn’t know it would come out at this point.

The events definitely came out a little earlier than in the game story.

I hope this doesn’t happen too early.

Even manager Jeong Song-i was almost in danger.

“Aren’t you guys from the Octopus Tangtang group?”

“… What? “No f*cking way, how do you know that name?”

The gangsters blushed.

After… ….

I’m going to get beat up like a dog for this, right?
