Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 316

316. Yeonwoo Effect (1)

2022.09.12.

Whether Yeonwoo’s words were stimulating or not, the pig squealed.

“Let’s see! Just because you’re a little famous now, are you looking down on people?! Threatening people with weird noises! Huh?! The whole world needs to know that you’re secretly trying to steal other people’s kids and make dirty deals behind their backs……!”

“Let’s get the facts straight. Since when has UTT been your kids?”

There’s no need to listen for long.

When Yeonwoo cut him off, the pig grabbed the back of his neck.

“They are my kids! I discovered them! I fed them with my money! I housed them! I clothed them and raised them, so they are my kids! How much effort did I put into them! I even went into debt raising those guys!”

Whatever.

Yeonwoo calmly continued.

“That’s very different from what I know. As far as I know, that debt doesn’t seem to have been used for UTT, at least.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think it’ll all become the truth if you insist like that? Are you allowed to frame an innocent person like this to steal someone else’s idol……!”

“A Capital.”

The pig, who was about to jump up and down, claiming he was being framed, froze at Yeonwoo’s words.

Squeak.

Like a machine that hadn’t been oiled, the pig barely turned his head towards Yeonwoo.

Yeonwoo watched him leisurely.

“N Capital. Let’s see. There’s more. R Finance. K Pawnshop.”

There are many company names that are easy to grasp just by hearing them.

It was a fact that he already knew, but he felt a sense of disgust.

Yeonwoo, who listed several names, stared at the pig.

“Aren’t these very familiar names?”

The pig’s eyes swelled as if they were about to pop out.

“You frequented those places often. They’re all gathered together in Gangwon-do, where the mountains are good and the air is fresh. Did you go there for recuperation? But why did you need the money?”

Yeonwoo’s smile shone brightly.

In inverse proportion to that, the pig’s light died darkly.

“H Loan, P Money, T Cash. Are these names familiar too? They lent a lot of money to you because you were the CEO of an agency, right? This place……. You had a close relationship with them even before you went to Gangwon-do, where the mountains are good and the water is fresh.”

Murmur, murmur.

The murmuring in the back grew louder as Yeonwoo continued to speak.

“How many places did he get loans from……?”

“Isn’t he crazy? What did he believe in to borrow so much money?”

“He’s the head of the agency, so they trusted that, I guess. This industry is good at recovering the principal, so they trusted that…….”

“Wow……. So that’s why UTT……?”

They knew that the agency’s CEO was a mess, but they didn’t know he was this much of a mess, so the way they looked at him was cold.

“That’s……. How did you know that……!”

“What did you use all that money for? You said you invested it? Ah. Now that you mention investment, I thought of something. I heard you also received money from the members.”

It’s a typical scam.

It’s a training cost, a very good name to extort money, whether you put it on your nose or your ears.

Fortunately, it has been revealed that collecting training costs from trainees is very malicious, but I heard that such crazy things used to happen often.

Typically, the company doesn’t spend any money and passes all the risks and financial burdens onto the trainees, a real black among blacks.

“What did you use that money for?”

“That’s……. Of course! I used it for their practice……!”

“You know that the fact that the item is included in the first place is an unfair contract, right?”

“It was a normal contract back then!”

He shouts confidently, but his eyes look uneasy.

For now, Yeonwoo decided to take a step back.

That way, the CEO will blow himself up even more.

“So, I heard that you also collected investment money after that. What did you use that for?”

“That, of course, I used it to raise the kids! Do you think broadcasting is done haphazardly? I ran around in all directions to raise those untalented guys!”

There is no persuasiveness in the pig’s shouting voice.

‘Investment, my ass.’

Yeonwoo’s attitude also became naturally crooked.

‘I thought he was hopeless, but I didn’t know he was this hopeless.’

[Yeonwoo. Can’t we just deal with him within our capabilities? I’m getting so angry just listening to him. Ah. Just thinking that my favorite kids might have gone through this makes my blood boil…….]

Donggaryeong doesn’t have blood to boil, but Yeonwoo agreed.

‘But it’s not too early to deal with it that easily.’

Even now, with just a snap of his fingers, he can easily show the pig a terrible hell.

But Yeonwoo didn’t want such an easy punishment.

‘This is how we can minimize the noise……. Sigh. Kang Yeonwoo, your patience has increased a lot.’

So this is a well-organized ‘show’.

And the show cannot be stopped in the middle.

Yeonwoo had a duty to spread the word about this pig’s atrocities as widely as possible.

That was the only way to repay the 100 percent trust.

“Ah. I see.”

“……That’s right! If a person speaks, you’ll finally start listening……!”

“So, the person who invested didn’t even provide proper accommodation or food expenses, and couldn’t even get songs or choreography, so you made them do it themselves?”

“Wow. Did you hear that just now? He really didn’t do anything?”

“Wow…… It wasn’t an exaggeration on the show?”

Murmur, murmur.

The more the pig’s atrocities were revealed, the louder the whispering became.

“Ah. That’s right. Let’s say UTT is living in a monthly rental house that they found themselves. But you didn’t even pay the utility bills separately? I mentioned the food expenses earlier. Well, let’s say that’s okay too. But wasn’t it too much not to give the choreography design fee? How are they supposed to do it without choreography or songs?”

“That…….”

“Still, they released an album.”

“Yes. I used all of it to release that album…….”

“You used all the loans and investments you received from so many places to print a few thousand copies?”

Who are you calling an idiot?

Yeonwoo also knows that it costs money to make an album.

But think about it.

All the songs in the track were made by UTT themselves.

That means there was no composition cost at all.

Album cover?

‘It’s terrible.’

To put it nicely, it’s retro-tic to see it as an idol cover released in the 21st century.

To tell the truth, it was just old-fashioned and analog.

I don’t know who did it, but the most basic Photoshop effect and that old-fashioned typography.

‘That Gulim font……. It was so shocking.’

“Yes! Because they weren’t popular, it all became debt! If it weren’t for me, those guys would have been disbanded by now and working part-time! They don’t even have a good education, so it’s obvious what they would be doing!”

“I see…….”

“So, I can’t cancel the contract until I recover the investment costs, no, I won’t!”

[In my opinion, I bet that CEO completely forgot about UTT until UTT took first place.]

‘I agree.’

“I see.”

“That……that’s right!”

The pig looked at Yeonwoo’s calm answer.

‘He’s not the type to answer so obediently?’

That’s how it felt.

The pig’s prediction was correct.

The moment Yeonwoo’s gaze turned to him and curved, the pig felt an unknown chill run down his spine.

“But it’s strange. As far as I know, UTT signed a contract with you in X year. And the Fair Trade Commission ordered the deletion of unfair contract clauses in X year. You can tell just by the numbers, right? It was a few years before UTT signed a contract with you.”

The most basic of the basics.

There are always revisions to any law.

So, to avoid being disadvantaged, the obvious order is to check what has changed.

‘That pig didn’t do that. He wouldn’t have even thought about revising the contract even if he knew.’

Trainees who are not ordinary people.

Moreover, minors who don’t know the ways of the world.

There is no better condition to rip them off.

“With this alone, the contract can be invalidated without saying anything, right?”

“No……, wait a minute.”

“And let’s see. Did you say that you can’t terminate the contract because you haven’t recovered the investment?”

“How much loss have I……!”

“That’s strange. When I calculated it, you should have already recovered the investment and more.”

The CEO has consistently claimed that he has not recovered the investment costs.

He always told UTT that they were in the red because of them, that money wasn’t being collected, and that they had no ability.

But that was a blatant lie.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Are you saying I’m lying right now?!”

“Yes.”

Flutter.

Yeonwoo fluttered the paper in his hand.

“I’m not the type to rush in recklessly without any preparation like you. I have solid evidence.”

It is not easy to find out the flow of other people’s funds.

However, there was someone around Yeonwoo who made that difficult task easy.

-So. Does that mean we can *털다 [teolda – fleece/shake down]* that pig now?’

The start of that title, which is more suitable for the explanation than anyone else, was none other than Woo Do-gyeom.

“I’m so happy that the military needs me this much.”

In fact, he didn’t intend to entrust it to Woo Do-gyeom from the beginning.

He had already asked him to find the pig.

‘The flow of funds can be calculated in reverse.’

But the problem was that UTT really didn’t know anything.

They really didn’t know anything about revenue details such as event costs or appearance fees.

That means they trusted the president and the former manager that much.

‘They’re frustratingly pitiful guys.’

It’s frustrating, but it’s not wrong to trust people.

It’s just that the target was wrong.

“I’m more of an expert than *도련님 [doryeonnim – young master]* in that kind of thing. You came to the right place.”

Woo Do-gyeom, who was listening to Yeonwoo’s story, showed a very active appearance as if he was interested.

Of course, the story that followed was not welcome.

“By the way, when are you going to stop by?”

“Yes? Are the data being prepared that quickly?”

“Ah. The data is data, but. My kids like the military so much. They want to see you.”

“Ah…….”

Somehow, the data and the kids feel like an excuse.

‘Strangely, that gentleman knows where I’m weak.’

I wonder if all the people who subtly dig into weaknesses are like that.

[Yeonwoo. I’m against it. I’m against it. Isn’t our actor better? Huh? That kind of guy is so black inside! Well, he was born with the pulse of a *타귀 [tagwi – other ghost/evil spirit]*, so it’s good to cover your eyes……. Anyway, I’m against it!]

“What nonsense are you talking about……?”

Is he doing this now because he can’t spy?

Donggaryeong tended to dislike Woo Do-gyeom because he was born with a constitution that did not allow the approach of the dead.

He played well with those kids, but he hated Woo Do-gyeom.

It looks like that tantrum has started again.

[Anyway, I’m against it!]

Whether he was against it or not, Woo Do-gyeom was competent anyway.

Not long after he asked, he really dismantled the funds flow of the former agency’s president to the level of excavation and brought it.

“He did everything from private loans to gambling, gambling, and embezzlement.”

Woo Do-gyeom added refreshingly that he had confirmed the details of the loan from his company.

“What part does the military like?”

It was a question that would have increased the probability that his body would not be healthy if the pig appeared even a day later.

According to the data handed over by Woo Do-gyeom, it was certain that the pig had worked hard to eat it.

“Investment recovery? There wasn’t even any investment to recover from the beginning? There were no items supported by the company…… Album? It was enough to pay for it with the money taken from UTT.”

“I think there’s a misunderstanding. Wait a minute, let me tell you properly…….”

“All the items in the contract were not fulfilled, and investment money was illegally extorted, and settlement was not paid…….”

Yeonwoo laughed coldly.

“Even with this alone, there are enough reasons to terminate the contract, right?”
