Success Story of a Master Level Mercenary Chaebol

296: commit again (5)

At Cheol-woo’s words, the atmosphere in the dining room became heavy. His cell phone rang through the suffocating air.

“Why?”

“Chief Zhang. Where are you, let’s eat!”

It was the director’s phone call. A yangban, who never skips meals, was eagerly looking for him while eating a buffet-style hotel breakfast.

“I have already eaten…”

“Since I sit at the same table with the second boss, I don’t know whether the rice goes into my mouth or my nose. Even with the chili crab in front of you, what kind of clean-up is this? Damn it!”

“I’m going down right now.”

Chili crab was on Cheolwoo’s mukbang list. I haven’t tried it yet due to busy work, but I couldn’t turn my eyes away from the fact that it came on my own feet like this.

“Everyone is getting ready to go out. Zahar and Irina remain in the hotel…”

“I will accompany you.”

She looked at him with strong eyes. Now he seemed to have made a clear choice.

“Then who sees Zahar?”

“Tonight…. They’re supposed to attack. It seems like you already know…”

“What do I mean by saying that now?”

“If I fail this time, I will also be chased by them for the rest of my life. Until I die.”

“ね! sister-!”

Zahar wept helplessly. After all, it’s only been a few days since we’ve been together, but I couldn’t figure out why they reacted like that.

“Hmm! If you are determined to do that, there is nothing you can do. It’s polite to believe in yourself once you set your attitude.”

Cheol-woo nodded at her actions. In fact, from his point of view, there was no reason to take her to Korea.

Then, here she and Zahar would part, and what she would experience after that was obvious. It was because there was no way the Red Mafia would take care of a minion who had failed her mission by patting her on the back.

Rather, she will feel burdened by being photographed by the US government, the CIA, and other intelligence agencies. Their choice was as obvious as seeing fire.

In fact, she had no choice. Either you die, or you run away from them for the rest of your life…

Fortunately, following Cheolwoo had a higher chance of escaping safely. Looking at the characters he killed, we could guess what his abilities were.

“Then let’s try to find someone to take care of Zahar. See you in an hour.”

“Aren’t we going to eat again?”

“What are you talking about…! I’m going to find someone to take care of Zahar.”

Mighty got up without a word and followed Cheol-woo. Cheol-woo looked up at him at his sudden reaction.

“Chilli crab. I want to eat too.”

“Hey hey! What are these guys…”

“older brother! If I follow you…”

Zahar also slipped behind them. He had a look that relieved a lot of the tension he had felt as he continued to run away.

“I can’t. Then let’s go together.”

“Oh yeah! Let’s Go!”

Zahar nodded excitedly. Irina gave a slightly startled look at his unfamiliar appearance.

Crazy! Crazy!

The reporters’ flashlights went off without a hitch. Other newspapers had to pick up other prey to cover up the job of the CEO of ○○ Newspaper, which is making a lot of public opinion these days.

Surprisingly, the ○○ newspaper went through the process of being closed in just a few days. This is because a small incident that started with the son of a newspaper company boss has finally turned into a power-type corruption.

The president’s son, who was harassing his junior, had a history of being expelled from the entertainment industry due to a drunken accident. However, he returned to the entertainment industry with the help of someone.

But as soon as I returned because I couldn’t give my dog ​​my habit, I had another accident. The public opinion turned against him was hardened by his complete departure from the entertainment industry.

And the very next day. An astonishing news was reported in the online edition of NYT Korea.

It uncovered the suspicion that the son of the CEO of the ○○ newspaper, who was about to leave the entertainment industry, was not drunk driving in the past.

The article that started with the circumstance that he had been habitually administering psychotropic medicines since he was studying abroad has spread to make matters worse, to the suspicion that the president of the ○○ newspaper exerted external pressure on the prosecution through his acquaintances.

He also raised suspicions about the circumstances in which the sentence was given a lighter-than-average sentence and the actions of the president’s son during the self-isolation period.

If this had flowed from the government or political circles, the major media outlets could have united and led to media oppression. However, since it started with a report by the same media company, NYT, I could not recite the repertoire I had always used.

Even Internet newspapers that had been hearing about the suspicions that started like that were added. As soon as the laid-off journalists or independent media outlets saw the weaknesses of the existing media, they began to bite them fiercely.

What was even more surprising was the cold reaction of the politicians. Opposition lawmakers, who had been living with the major media in the meantime, showed no reaction as if they were watching cows and chickens.

They could not have known that the ○○ newspaper was a disguised affiliate of △△ Ilbo. Still, not firing any support fire meant that there was something serious inside.

One more drink was added, and corporate boycotts of advertisements followed. Nearly 80% of advertisements were removed on the pretext that the national petition posted on the Blue House bulletin board exceeded 200,000 in just two days.

At that time, △△ Ilbo, who felt the seriousness of the situation, eventually fired the president of ○○ newspaper. However, the public opinion that once stirred was not easily quenched, and as soon as a sharp wind began to blow in the splattered prosecutor’s office, it hurriedly declared its abolition.

“Damn, what’s going on with this in the midst of anxiety about being cut off?”

“I know yeah···! Where would you go and roll a pen and eat 100 million won a year?”

Reporters from famous media outlets who were covering the fire scene of Kangho Chemical gathered together and talked about their rice bowls. Although they were ripped off by swearing, they survived only seeing a high salary, but these days, it seems that their positions are not going to last long.

“The manager said that because there was an investigation going on. I beg you to get a little bit of advertising money by biting me off.”

“So, will you pay some for the interview expenses?”

“Don’t talk! This has nothing to do with rice. It seems that the money line at the company is completely dry these days. Damn it!”

“Isn’t this really cutting our food line? I still have a lot of debt left to pay off…”

Regardless of the number of casualties, whether there was a fire or not, the condition of their throats was the most important law. Even at this moment, the reporters were contemplating how to rip off entertainment expenses from the owner of the Kangho group.

“Ahh! Kangho Construction CEO Kang Min-seok will conduct a media interview on behalf of the Chairman. We would appreciate it if the press and reporters should follow the photo line and ask a question after raising their hand before asking a question.”

With Mike’s howling, Min-seok entered the temporary press room. As a company that always has to pay attention to public opinion, no matter how chaotic it was, they had to put the convenience of reporters first.

Kangho Group also had a press team in charge of this kind of work. They were the first to come down to the scene of the accident and take care of the reporters who snoop around.

I didn’t know what kind of hard work they would do if they accidentally touched the hearts of journalists. For companies, what was scarier than a knife or a gun was the tip of a reporter’s pen.

Therefore, even in this chaos, the reporters had to pay attention to detail.

“Everyone is suffering. This is Kang Min-seok, the representative of Kangho Construction.”

“Aren’t Chairman Kang going to not appear in public in the future? Or have you completely finished the succession process internally?”

“There is still the issue of property inheritance. Are the legal issues with the dead or disappeared brothers completely resolved?”

“Hey, you bastard! to keep order. Why did a bastard who doesn’t know the rules of the field come here?”

“What kid! How much did you eat jjambap, you’re fucking here. Do you know how much I ate on site?”

The reporters started making a fuss among themselves before anyone could stop them. The amount of their year-end bonuses was determined by first asking provocative questions to get some views.

Noisy! Right king!

It was 180 degrees different from the press conference I saw on TV. Concessions to wild dogs running around the scene were a luxury.

“Sibel! There’s no such thing as a bitch.”

Minseok looked around the crowd and muttered lowly. The reality of fighting a fire outside a temporary building was a completely different story from theirs.

“What else is that image?”

“We met on the way. Just ignore it.”

Whoops, whoops!

Director Yang asked, looking at Mighty with a puzzled expression. The mighty, who had piled up chili crabs like a mountain on a large plate, was devouring the skins and making a loud noise.

Oh dodok, oh dodok!

Beside him, a boy of mixed race Caucasian appearance in a wheelchair was ravenously filming a mukbang. I was really putting my phone on the table and trying my best to taste it.

“Are you filming it in real time?”

“no! I’m also taking pictures as a test to see if it’s possible to do mukbang.”

When you’re being chased, posting a mukbang on You Tube was no different than saying, ‘Catch me!’ The only thing that bothered me was that Cheol-woo, a disliked person, had no choice but to worry.

Zahar, who had been controlling his diet so far, was stimulated by the eating habits of Cheolwoo and Mighty. However, no matter how much he used his dragon, it was difficult to film a good looking mukbang because of his weak jaw muscles.

“Hey! But is this too salty?”

“It’s fried with salt, so there’s no choice but to squeeze it. However, the salty salt soaked into the crab meat and deep-fried until the skin was crispy, so it was delicious. It’s okay if you eat it with rice or stir-fried clams.”

Even in front of Cheol-woo who said that, a chili crab tower that was no less than Mighty was erected. So, the two of them were harpooning the crabs militantly like those who ate for the first time today.

“What do you mean?”

“ah! I even dealt with what was in my mouth for a while… 👌👌👌👌👌”

Mingyu was sitting next to both directors. The thin appearance at first sight had disappeared to some extent, but the unique atmosphere of being far away as if looking down on people was deepened.

Director Yang was more embarrassed by his atmosphere. If it were safe outside, I would have wandered around late into the night, but now there was no excuse to stay away from him.

“I’m a little tired now. Okay, are you ready now?”

“Well? I don’t know what to do tomorrow, so can the anxiety go away?”

Cheol-woo crushed the food in his mouth one last time and asked Mingyu. Unlike Director Yang, he did not take any formality into consideration when calling him.

“After all, isn’t life itself a life that does not know tomorrow? I didn’t even think of anyone giving me rice cakes, but I had a life where I drank kimchi soup and wasted water.”

Director Yang, who had been quietly listening, was nervous at once. Cheol-woo quarreled with Chairman Kang and the two brothers and sarcastically.

Hearing his words, Mingyu gave strength to the corners of his eyes that had been loosened and looked at him. But soon he relaxed again and agreed to his words.

“ね! Damn, I can’t argue with anything. Catch it!”

“That’s one hundred percent true!”

When Cheol-woo summed up his life in one line, Mingyu felt frustrated once again. He couldn’t even remember what he was running so wildly for.

“So, why do you need to touch other people’s sore spots? Do you mean to look back on your own life before you kill it?”

Director Yang swallowed his saliva again. He knew that Cheol-woo had come to find Mingyu on a special mission from Chairman Kang.

Like he said, he might have asked him to kill Mingyu for Minseok’s sake. He didn’t even know what choice he would make if he said it would allow him to live his life without worrying about money.

“It’s the end of life anyway. How about living here playing with money?”

“Do…don’t play, here in Hong Kong?”

“Yes, the main focus is illegal remittances. That’s a lot of money too. Huh!”

Mingyu and both directors were bewildered by the unexpected suggestion. Seeing the two of them, Cheol-woo gave a mischievous smile.
