The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 158

‘Shinhwa Group Enters the Entertainment Business.’

– Yoon Jeong-hoon, the M&A wizard, finally enters the entertainment business.

– Related companies on high alert.

– Will his investments, which have never failed, succeed in the content industry?

Lee Seok bit his lip as he read the newspaper.

‘Damn it!’

Cha Boa, who rejected his secret offer.

Yoo Doo-sik, the CEO of Siren, who boasted he would persuade her to accept a sponsor, disappeared.

The investigation revealed he had fled to the Philippines.

‘I invested a billion won, damn it!’

What hurt his pride even more was her rejection.

He wanted to find an opportunity to subdue her with his money and fame.

But everything fell through.

Lee Seok slammed his fist on the desk. With a loud bang, the teacup on the desk clattered.

Of all things, Shinhwa Group had to acquire Siren.

‘Could it be that Cha Boa and Yoon Jeong-hoon are…? No way. I can’t lose her.’

If they were involved, he couldn’t give up even more.

He would have her by any means necessary.

Lee Seok recalled Cha Boa’s face once again.

Unlike the sophisticated and elegant Ha In-sun, she was like an innocent and lively college student.

Cha Boa’s face flickered before Lee Seok’s eyes.

Lee Seok rolled up the newspaper he was holding.

He stood up and asked the man who was banging his head against the back of the sofa.

“Hey, what are you going to do?”

-Thwack

He hit the back of his head hard with the rolled-up newspaper.

“I will bring her no matter what it takes.”

“How can I trust you?”

“I have the kids ready. I will make her compliant and bring her before you, Chairman.”

Lee Seok kicked the man in the stomach.

-Thwack

“Bring her here quietly without laying a finger on her, got it?”

“Yes. Don’t worry. I have prepared experts.”

“Really?”

Lee Seok’s bitter smile filled his face.

“This is your last chance, understand?”

“Yes, Chairman.”

The intercom rang.

“Madam has arrived.”

Before the words were even finished, the door to the chairman’s office opened and she entered.

“Mother, you’ve arrived?”

She wore a white silk dress and a large-brimmed capeline hat [a wide-brimmed hat] favored by Audrey Hepburn.

She entered with an elegant demeanor.

She went straight to the sofa and sat on the left side of the head seat.

She crossed her legs gracefully and looked up at Lee Seok, the chairman.

“Our Chairman seems to be in a bad mood. No matter what, you shouldn’t lay hands on the help. Maintain your dignity.”

“I’m sorry, Mother.”

Lee Seok nudged the man lying on the floor with his foot.

“Get out.”

After the man left and they were alone, Ha In-sun took off her hat and placed it on the seat next to her.

“Sit down, Chairman Lee.”

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“I heard you were going to acquire an entertainment company… but you hesitated and things went wrong?”

“Yes.”

“Timing is important. If you think it’s the right thing, you have to snatch it up right away, even if it costs more.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“Where is it? This mother has some connections in that area, so I’ll look into it.”

“No, Mother.”

“You should know how to accept when your mother speaks. Tell me.”

Lee Seok hesitated and answered quietly.

“It’s a very small company called Siren. But the Shinhwa Group guys snatched it up.”

Ha In-sun’s eyebrows shot up for a moment.

But she soon regained her composure.

“Shinhwa acquired Siren?”

Ha In-sun was puzzled.

Why would they acquire an agency that was involved in sexual favors and sponsor mediation?

She was curious, but she couldn’t think of an answer.

She looked at her beloved son.

Why did he try to acquire that company?

She wanted to think it wasn’t true, but the rumors and reports she heard suggested otherwise.

Should she thank Yoon Jeong-hoon for this?

“Has our Chairman stopped taking the nutritional supplements your father gave you? Chief Choi of Star Hospital said it’s best to stop for a while.”

“Of course. I haven’t taken them since the day you told me to stop, Mother.”

“Good job.”

Lee Seok looked relieved as she showed a pleased smile.

“Anyway, it seems like we really need to put an end to it now. I’m preparing a party with Minister Chun Seong-han. I’ll tear that bastard limb from limb soon, so don’t worry too much.”

“Yes? I understand.”

His pride was hurt by his mother’s words.

But he was secretly pleased that she was eliminating a political enemy.

He liked that the situation was being resolved without him having to step in.

“Our Chairman should just focus on managing the group. This mother will sweep away anything that blocks the path of our Chairman Lee Seok.”

For a moment, a crazy murderous intent flashed across Ha In-sun’s face.

Lee Seok was taken aback by her eerie expression.

“By the way, what brings you here today?”

“I just stopped by on the way.”

“Is Father doing well?”

“Don’t worry about him. He’s a stubborn old man.”

“Yes, Mother.”

His father had become noticeably quieter since returning from Japan.

He was just drinking alone.

He had many days of hysterics.

“Then get back to work. Stay at the hotel for the time being. That fellow Abi is not doing well. I don’t like what he’s been doing lately.”

“I understand.”

When he went home, he was treated like a rat being caught.

So, he had been taking refuge in a hotel at his mother’s recommendation.

Ha In-sun slowly got up from the plush sofa.

She had to say what she couldn’t say when she heard about Siren Productions now.

‘Siren.’

It was embarrassing to even call it an entertainment company.

A gangster company that tricked rookies into signing contracts by offering high contract fees and then used the contracts as an excuse for blackmail.

The goal was sponsors and sexual favors.

Making money easily was what they did.

Now was not the time to be distracted by women.

Ha In-sun looked at Lee Seok with a determined expression.

“And our Chairman. Don’t ignore what this mother said earlier. It’s not just men. Don’t lay hands on women carelessly either. You must maintain your dignity. Haven’t you forgotten your past mistakes?”

“Yes?”

Lee Seok’s face turned ashen at Ha In-sun’s words.

He stood up hastily and stammered.

“Ah, I understand. M-Mother, don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten. I’ll be careful.”

“I see. Then forget about vixens like Cha Boa.”

His heart shrank.

Lee Seok was so surprised that he couldn’t answer.

He just nodded his head hastily in a polite manner, as if to say he understood.

After his mother left, he had to calm his surprised heart.

‘How did she know?’

After taking a moment to catch his breath, he locked the door.

Then, he carefully opened the safe behind the desk.

He opened the heavy door and took out a white pill bottle.

After checking the door once again, he wore a relieved expression.

He took out a pill and swallowed it.

He sat in the plush chair and leaned his whole body against the backrest.

The backrest was completely reclined, and a peaceful rest was rushing towards him.

Lee Seok reacted to the drug.

A grotesque smile of pleasure began to fill his face.

Ha In-sun, who had left the chairman’s office, went to the underground parking lot and got into her car.

The driver and secretary handed her the documents.

“Here it is.”

She tore open the documents roughly and took out the photos inside.

“Is this that bitch Cha Boa?”

“Yes.”

“She looks a lot like Madam.”

Ha In-sun’s face completely crumpled.

It was the face of a man who was photographed with Ha In-sun.

“That man is named Jung Eun-soo, and he seems to be her lover or friend.”

Ha In-sun did not answer.

The two who came out of her womb are fighting over one woman.

She had an ominous feeling.

‘A dangerous bitch.’

Ha In-sun took out her phone from her Hermes bag.

She dialed a familiar number.

“It’s me.”

“Yes, Madam.”

“Get rid of Cha Boa completely. Make it impossible for her to recover.”

“Yes…?”

It was a flustered voice.

“Really… do we have to go that far?”

“Do I have to say it twice?”

It was an icy cold voice.

“P-Please forgive me. I will take action and report back.”

Even she thought she was an attractive and innocent woman.

Long, thick eyelashes, white skin.

She exuded innocence.

She felt strangely similar to herself.

The son she was protecting with everything and the son she had completely abandoned were looking at one woman.

They would never meet, but the seeds of misfortune had to be crushed.

And our beloved Chairman Lee Seok must not be distracted now.

Ha In-sun shook her head with an eerie smile.

***

Cha Boa woke up with a start at the loud alarm clock sound that announced the morning.

Cha Boa checked the clock and screamed.

It’s 12 o’clock….

This is a disaster.

I have an acting class from 1 p.m.

She hurriedly washed her hair and couldn’t even dry it.

She couldn’t even put on makeup and hurriedly applied lipstick.

Cha Boa looked at the hanger next to the mirror and chose her clothes.

She had to hurry, but she had to pay attention to her clothes.

She chose a white shirt.

The child who said that white suited her best.

A faint smile crossed her face as she thought of the child who always praised her.

A face and height that seemed to have jumped out of a romance comic.

His talent as an actor was also outstanding.

Her face flushed as she thought of the face that smiled brightly at her.

But she knew.

He and she are good friends….

After the company was acquired by Shinhwa Group, many things changed.

Everyone who used to leer at her disappeared in an instant.

Real entertainment experts filled their place.

Experts with sharp eyes and intuition who had produced numerous stars began to intensively manage the actors under their agency.

Cha Boa looked out the window on the subway crossing the Han River.

Cha Boa liked the sunlight sparkling on the river waves.

A life that was like a boring black and white movie had become an exciting musical movie.

It was the happiest moment in her life right now.

She opened the door to Shinhwa Entertainment and greeted everyone loudly and energetically.

“Hello.”

“Hello.”

Everyone greeted her with kind faces.

Eun-soo was in the hallway leading to the practice room.

“Eun-soo!”

“Oh, Boa, you’re here early.”

Cha Boa stood next to Eun-soo, neither too far nor too close.

“Here, this.”

Eun-soo handed her a bottle of water.

She hurriedly hid the smile on her face, afraid it would be noticed.

“What? Why the sudden water? Are you giving it to me because you’re thinking of me? Heh.”

She spoke playfully on purpose.

Eun-soo shook his head from side to side and sighed.

“Oh, I had money left over, so I got another one. Drink it later when you’re thirsty.”

“Tch, thanks.”

“White suits you well.”

“Oh… ah. Thank you. I can’t really pay attention to my clothes these days, so I only wear white.”

“I know. You’ve been wearing white all week. Heh, are you an angel? Hehehe.”

Cha Boa’s foot automatically kicked Eun-soo’s shin.

She didn’t like him, but she felt bad.

She had chosen it for a long time.

“Hey, don’t tease me.”

She kicked his shin on the other side again.

-Ouch!

Eun-soo, who was hopping around with his legs crossed with a short scream.

She entered the practice room and saw her empty spot that had already disappeared.

‘Or is it not?’

She had been wearing the perfume he said he liked for a week,

She only used the shampoo he praised for its good scent,

She only wore the colors he said were pretty.

He was secretly happy.

It was better this way.

Eun-soo couldn’t be sure of his feelings.

Whether he liked her because she resembled Ha In-sun, or whether he liked her as she was.

Whether she was approaching and liking him, or whether he was liking her first.

The confusing emotions made his head hurt.

Eun-soo shook his head violently.

He took several breaths and calmed his excited heart.

Then, he opened the door to the practice room.

Acting hopefuls were gathered in the new practice room prepared by Shinhwa Entertainment.

There was nothing special about the wood-smelling floor.

But the actors who belonged to Siren couldn’t help but be moved.

They had never received proper training since signing a contract with only a high contract fee in mind.

Instead of training, they only arranged drinking parties with tycoons and politicians.

Some abandoned their dreams by falling for sweet candy.

“Ah, ah, has everyone gathered? I’m Deputy Manager Go Chang-hoon.”

“Oh, did you get promoted?”

“Ha, yes! Thank you.”

He subtly showed off his promotion, and the sensible Cha Boa caught on and showed it off in front of everyone.

“Congratulations, Deputy Manager Go.”

Yoon Soo-ah, whose handsome face was attractive, also chimed in.

Go Chang-hoon’s mouth stretched long.

“Thank you. Acting classes will begin in earnest from today. We have a hard-to-get person. Don’t be surprised.”

Go Chang-hoon opened the glass door and stuck his head out.

“Teacher, come in.”

A moment later, an old gentleman came in.

-Oh, oh, huh,

The eyes of the actors in the practice room widened.
