Chapter 260 – Part 2. 1993

That evening, when Mi-young Kim went to her office, the store manager called Mi-young Kim to her office.

“Miyoung. See me for a second.”

“Yes. Manager. What are you doing?”

Kim Mi-young was depressed at school, but she was a bit bright because she was working.

“Huh. That’s because our Mi-yeong is bright and works hard, so I thought I’d give you one piece of information..”

“Information?”

“Huh. Our Kim Hee-kyung Food headquarters has a scholarship student recommendation system. There is a scholarship system that supports college tuition and living expenses for hardworking and diligent students. So, I’m thinking of recommending our Mi-yeong to the head office, so what do you think?”

“Really? Is there such a system?”

“Huh. There is.”

“Wow, that’s nice. But why are you suddenly recommending me? I’ve only been working for a week now.”

“Uh? That… That’s it. Miyoung is also sincere.. Um.. Ah~ Jo.. I think it fits the conditions perfectly.”

“Conditions?”

“Huh. Condition. It’s only my freshman year of college…”

“Yes? Only freshman year of college? Is there a scholarship system like that?”

“Yes. There is. It’s a system that only exists in our head office. Only a small number of people are selected and passionately supported. Why don’t you like it?”

“No. I don’t hate it, but it was too sudden.”

“What’s so sudden? And you can’t get everything by applying. They are selected only after they are screened at the head office and meet the criteria.”

“Ah, I guess. It may not be enough to apply. But what if I quit my job after receiving a scholarship? So do I have to vomit it all up again?”

“No. It’s a scholarship funded by college students, so are you really going to make me vomit it?”

“Huh~ Then, isn’t the company too much of a loss? What did you believe in giving me such a scholarship?”

The store manager was afraid of Kim Mi-young now.
This she was too smart even if she was smart.
Now, a girl who was only 20 years old and a first grader was clear about her reasoning, and it was not usually a straight line to clearly argue about this and that.

When she offered a scholarship, she said she was impressed or liked it and thought she would receive it immediately, but Kim Mi-young continued to express doubts as if she was suspicious of something.

“That… That. It probably doesn’t matter. It seems like the company is doing it for the welfare of helping students in need.”

“Wow. Then, if you are selected, you are completely blessed.”

“That… That’s right. So should I apply or not?”

The manager wanted to quickly hear the answer and send Kim Mi-young out.
She was as good as a person who lied, but when she tried to invent stupid words, she felt cold sweat running down her back.

This was exactly what Sung-jin asked the store manager for when he came in the morning.
In the name of a scholarship, Seong-jin was supporting Kim Mi-young, and the manager was used as a strategy.

“Now the manager is saying that even if I apply, there is nothing to lose to me. It will be absolutely awesome.”

“Yes. So, can I apply?”

“But why does the store manager act like he has to apply? Are you planning on doing something bad?”

“What.. What not.. Bad thing? There is no such thing.”

“Hmm. It’s kind of suspicious.”

The store manager said that Kim Mi-young, who was watching her with her eyes narrowed, now felt like Wen-su.

“Miyoung. So why don’t you apply?”

“What. I have nothing to lose, so please apply.”

“Hey~ Yeah, I got it. I’ll apply. But you are still a child, why do you have so many doubts?”

“Oh. The store manager also thinks how scary the world is, is that so? Of course you should be suspicious. I thought the store manager would ask for my body as a scholarship application.”

Kim Mi-young then hugged her body with both arms.

“What… What? Do I look like that person? It’s all because there’s a reason.”

“Why? Why?”

“Large. Oh no. You don’t have to know I’ll apply to the head office, so you can go out now. And bring a copy of your bankbook by tomorrow.”

“Yes. All right.”

When Kim Mi-yeong greeted her and left her office, she was the store manager who sighed and wiped away her cold sweat.
And she picked up the phone and she called Sungjin.

“Yes. President. She was allowed to apply by Miyoung. He told me to bring a copy of my bankbook tomorrow… Yes… I see.”

Seong-jin was thinking of sending Kim Mi-yeong her 4 years worth of tuition and living expenses in the name of her scholarship.

Kim Mi-young submitted a copy of her bankbook to her manager the next day, and three days later she received a deposit of 20 million in her bankbook from Kim Hee-kyung Food.

Miyoung Kim was so happy that she quit her part-time job that day, and she was able to follow Sungjin around and laugh at her school again.

——————————–

In the parking lot of a station.

Jin So-ra, who had just finished filming a drama, picked up an envelope lying in the back seat of her car as she got into her car.

“Manager Kang. Is this the research data on Kim Soo-young that I mentioned last time?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Jin So-ra took out several A4 sheets from her briefcase and began to read them.

“Hmm. She’s 21 this year.. She’s definitely young and pretty. A future entertainment agency? Where are you? It’s the first name I’ve heard…”

“Yes. This is a company recently founded by a man named Kim Doo-shik.”

“Kim Doo-shik. Are you Doo-shik Kim? Ah~ Yeah~ The representative of the agency that used to follow me around as a senior?”

“Yes. That’s right sir. Did you go to the founding ceremony there a while ago?”

“I? Aaaaah~ The place where I went to meet Director Kim the other day? I think it was pretty big there… Hoh. This guy has skills If you fail once on this floor, it’s hard to recover, but to set up an agency again.. So, what are the kids’ sizes?”

“Yes. It’s a new company, so it’s still small. There are also a few celebrities who belong to it. If you look at the back, there are photos and profiles of celebrities.”

Jin So-ra flipped through her paper and quickly scanned the picture of her attached to the paper.
And she opened her eyes wide as she looked at one picture.

“Hoo. Kyungmi Kim? This kid is a very good thing. She must be like Hee-seon because of her looks. No, Doo-sik Kim, where did this guy get these kids? Like this kid named Soo-young, this kid named Kyung-mi will be an incredible product…”

Jin So-ra was reading her profile carefully, staring at her picture of Kyung-mi.
He is now 19 years old, and his body is flawless, and his face is flawless.

Even in the eyes of Jin So-ra, who has seen numerous celebrities on this floor, Park Hee-sun and this Kim Kyung-mi had great beauty that could really stand out.

“Manager Kang. Make an appointment with Doosik Kim. If I ask to see you, you won’t be able to refuse.”

Jin So-ra looked at the picture of Soo-young and Kyung-mi once again and smiled happily.

If only these high-quality products were continued, he could continue to exert his influence among the people of this floor, no, the government and the business world.

‘Joy. Are you saying you want me to be nice? If you fall into the eyes of your superiors, your life will be in full bloom. Hehe. Am I lucky these days? I keep seeing these guys.’

It was Jin So-ra who felt better after a long time.

A few days later, Seong-jin received a sudden phone call from Kim Doo-shik.

“Older brother. Jin So-ra contacted me to meet her.”

“What? Jin So-ra?”

“Yes. Could it be that you sensed something?”

“Did something happen that caught your eye?”

“No. The kids who put surveillance on Jin So-ra are also veterans and have never even come close.”

“Okay? But why did you suddenly contact me?”

“I don’t know either. Could it be that among our children, there is a child who caught Jin So-ra’s eyes?”

“What? So, Sora Jin is trying to prostitute one of our kids?”

“Otherwise, wouldn’t there be a reason to contact you so suddenly?”

Sungjin was in a bad mood for nothing.
He thought that Jin So-ra might be targeting Soo-yeong’s older sister or her Kyung-mi.

“Hmm. Let’s meet once When I go to meet him, I bring a tape recorder and record the whole conversation..”

“Yes. All right.”

“Ah~ And don’t say that I am involved with the agency.”

Sungjin could feel a sudden pain in her back.

Two days later, Kim Doo-sik was able to meet Jean So-ra at a hotel coffee shop, where she was separated from the outside world by a partition.

“Doo-shik, it’s been a while. I heard you set up an agency this time.. Congratulations. You shouldn’t have contacted me Then she would have sent me a wreath…”

Dushik was dumbfounded.
Apparently, he had come that day, said hello, and left, but he had no memory of it at all.
To Jin So-ra, Kim Doo-sik had no presence.

“Oh my. No. Seniors. Even if you contacted me like this, where are you?”

Kim Doo-sik tried to keep his posture as low as possible and look foolish.

“Doo-sik seems to be doing well these days. There seem to be a lot of good kids down there.”

“Yes. Lucky for you. It’s all thanks to seniors for worrying about me.”

Kim Doo-sik held back a sigh inside.
After all, that was the purpose.
Then, I wondered who Jin So-ra wanted.

“Since Dusik rolled and ate once, I have to do well this time and succeed.”

“Sure. I have to work hard. Senior, please help me a lot.”

“So that’s what I mean…”

Jin So-ra paused her words for a moment and took a sip of her coffee cup.

“Would you like me to raise the kids under you?”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

When it seemed like the main topic was finally coming out, Kim Doo-sik nervously touched the inside pocket of his suit.
A mini recorder was running in the inside pocket of his suit.

“Doo-shik. Do you know what it takes to succeed on this floor?”

“That… That’s it. Shouldn’t the kids with you have a good time?”

“Yes. The kids below should float well. And as the president, you have to properly support such kids so that they can rise well.”

“Yes. That… That’s right.”

“Then what does it mean for you to support me well?”

“Yeah. You have to come up with a good project, make casting work, schedule a lot, and do good marketing so that you can do a lot of advertising.”

“Yes. You have to do that. But isn’t that easy? Like you said, even if you try to cast well, if the casting doesn’t work, the kids have to play. Likewise, even if you try to schedule a lot, if there is no place to schedule, you have to play again, and even if you try to make money by filming a lot of advertisements, if the advertiser doesn’t find it, it’s a joke. But I can make that very easy.”

“Yes? How do you say Seniors.”

“You. You know that I have a lot of connections, right?”

“Sure. Seniors’ connections on this floor aren’t they known by everyone?”

“Okay. I know a lot of people in broadcasting, politics, and business. So if it catches my eye, I can connect you with everything, whether it’s casting, schedules, or advertisements. But on the other hand, if you get out of my eyes, you can get rid of all the casting and advertisements. How is it? Can our Dusik get in my eyes and push the kids under me? That’s how you succeed.”

“I want to be successful too. However, it seems that seniors are not going to do that for me for free.”

“Ho-ho-ho. Now that I see my Dushik, he’s very smart. That’s right. Where in the world is there anything for free? Of course, you have to pay a price for that kind of success.”

Doo-shik took a sip of coffee and waited for Jin So-ra’s next words.

“The method is very simple. And it’s a good way for everyone. Dushik, there are kids under you named Kim Sooyoung and Kim Kyungmi, right? Leave them both to me.”

“Yes? Who?”

For a moment, Kim Doo-sik almost spit out the coffee he was drinking.
He was talking about Kyung-mi and Su-yeong’s sister, who are none other than the older brother and the lover of the president, Seong-jin.

‘This bitch is trying very hard to die.’
