Chapter 38

* * *

After polishing in the sauna, Jong-hyuk, who bought a suit at a department store, stood in front of the building Sun-ah told him to scratch his head.

A sign named Sidus hung in a two-story building.

“Was it this name? Well, I don’t think it was this name.….”

JYK, who will later be called one of the top 3 agencies in Korea.

“Isn’t Sidus the actor’s agency?”

It’s a company that later got involved in quite a rowdy affair.

I remember swearing with detectives of the gang at that time.

Feeling strange, Jong-hyuk called Kwon A-young and asked about Sidus.

-Sydas…… Sidus……I’ve heard of it somewhere. Wait a moment.

A song that stimulated memories came out through the cell phone that seemed to have been put down, saying, “I waited for today, clap clap.”

Jong-hyuk quietly listened to the music.

Oh, that’s right. This is it. As a result, Taehwan Jonggeum Co., Ltd., which collapsed due to our put option, was forced to withdraw the loan and collapsed. You know what? The handsome guy in the movie beat.

Jong-hyuk’s eyes shook greatly.

“It was because of me?”

IF’s story was engraved in his head.

What would have happened if Taehwan Jonggeumsa Temple had not been destroyed?

Wouldn’t he have signed a contract last year and ready to release an album by now?

“The victim I made…….”

What Jong-hyuk himself did was push Jonggeumsa Temple, which is endangered by reckless money play, but he has no choice but to think like this.

“It’s driving me crazy.”

Suddenly, I thought of cigarettes very much.

Having lost his head, he decided to break the law only for today.

Shake shake!

Boss?

“Oh, the actor. ……but do you investigate that, too?”

The boss here came to borrow money from my father early last year.

“Oh, the father.”

I heard that you are in your 70s.

Ring!

“Here’s the Esse Chain…”…there’s nothing. Dipple, there’s nothing else. Please give me a diss.”

Whoosh!

Smoky cigarette smoke spreads toward the heartless city.

It’s flying like you don’t know how frustrated you are.

Boss, do you smoke?!

It was PB who was dealing with the most wealthy people.However, she used too much money as a seed money. Of course, interrogation was inevitable.

The name that I heard was unknown to Jong-hyuk. No wonder Jong-hyuk was a retired detective at the time.

“Didn’t you say you pulled out of the private loan business?”

And when he retired, he returned a lot of money to society.

That’s why Jong-hyuk accepted the investment.

If I were on active duty, I would never have received it.

Oh, I guess I was in a hurry. That’s why I remember it because I heard something.

“You heard a word?”

– We’ve been so bad that even this kind of person is coming.

“…I heard you were a loan shark.”

I know. It’s funny.

Are you worried about your daughter?’

For some reason, I thought so.

Jong-hyuk, who laughed, asked something else.

“Then can I know if JYK, or Gam Jin-young, works here at Sidus?”

Gam Jin Young? JYK? Oh, that plastic outfit? He would have set up a separate company. I didn’t belong to Sidus in the first place.

“What?”

Jong-hyuk’s expression hardened.

What happened to this?’

Realizing that he had misunderstood, Jong-hyuk raised his hand reflexively and muttered back down.

Hardened hair due to gel.

“Hu! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!”

The last cigarette smoke blew out long.

I tried to spit out the guilt I had found in my heart, but only my mouth became bitter.

” Jong-hyuk아!”

“Bro!”

The corners of Jong-hyuk’s mouth wobbled as he looked to the left.

The five men who come running, waving brightly over their heads.



-……Boss, it’s not the boss’ fault. Their closing remarks are…….

‘Yes, I’ve just turned a blind eye to it.’

You would have known that there would be such a good-will victim in the back of your mind, but you would have turned a blind eye.

He would have masturbated that he was just riding on the original history.

But it had to be changed as soon as it was recognized.

“Do your research.”

You don’t have to catch the criminal, so don’t make a single victim.

If you’re a police officer, that’s a word you have in mind.

“Everyone except those who participated in the money game, those who were blinded by big money and failed to recognize them properly. Really good victims. This is the first order I make privately.”

You know it’s impossible, right?

It is a matter of losing all 40 million people in South Korea.

But I like it. Yes, boss, I’ll do everything I can.

“Thank you for being my compulsion.”

I’m so proud you’re my boss. I love you, boss.

“I’ll hang up.”

After hanging up, Jong-hyuk saw five men just around the corner.

“Holly! Bro, isn’t it so nice today? I’m wearing a cocka dress!”

“Oh. The smell of cigarettes. Jong-hyuk, do you smoke, too?”

“Hey, if you have a cigarette, just one.”

Five men smiling clearly without knowing the circumstances.

Jong-hyuk grabbed his chest.

I’ll put it back the way it was. Where you’re supposed to be.’

Jong-hyuk, who wrote this, saw them.

“Hey, do you trust me? Can you believe me no matter what I do today?”

The five of us saw each other. Then he smiled broadly and nodded.

Junhyung looked warmly.

“I don’t trust everyone in the world, but I trust you. Bro.”

Choked up?

Jong-hyuk spits out insults inside.

My heart was beating so hard.

“Okay, then let’s go to a nearby cafe.”

“Huh?”

“Tell your company you’re about an hour late. I need to prepare something.”

Jong-hyuk pushed them into a nearby cafe with a credit card and picked up their cell phones again. Jong-hyuk, who tried to help them and invest in the company, decided to scrap all the plans he had made the other day.

Their success comes before my gain.

Boss?

“A lawyer’s fee of 3,000 per hour. How long will it take?”

-……I’ll send it to you in an hour.

“I’ll be waiting.”

Jong-hyuk asked for a cigarette again, looking at the five mumbling in front of the counter, perhaps for the first time at a cafe.

His eyes shone fiercely.

* * *

“Guys!”

“Good Morning, Manager Park!”

Sidus was a small office.

Fifteen desks, a sofa, several bonsai, and three separate rooms.

It seemed to use the entire second floor.

The employees’ eyes were tired, and there were many cases where they slept while working overtime, seeing that there were towels on partitions and chairs.

Three celebrities. One of them is the star of Beat.’

A picture of a celebrity hanging in the hallway told me.

‘Cathy Cow didn’t let go until the end, but she’’

Jong-hyuk wondered what type of manager he was.

“But on this side……Huh? Choi Jong-hyuk from Judo?”

“Is Choi in our company?” After the hidden camera prank, Jong-hyuk became a national star.

My mouth was watering automatically.

But there was someone more concerned.

A thin, middle-aged man in his 50s with a golden badge on his chest.

“Who are you?”

A middle-aged man in his 50s raised his glasses and took out his business card.

“Here’s lawyer Hyun Seung-yeop, who will sign Choi Jong-hyuk to help them sign the contract. It’s a pleasure.”

“A lawyer?”

Park’s eyes shook in his mid-40s with thin cheeks.

“Kim & Chang?! High Court Chief Judge?!”

a former High Court chief judge

Jun-hyung shrugged his shoulders when he was surprised by what happened.

Manager Park, who had a hard-faced face, saw Jong-hyuk.

“I don’t know what’s going on here. In what capacity is Choi Jong-hyuk meddling in our contracts with our children?”

Park’s tone, which became uncomfortable with the lawyer’s appearance, was sharp.

Jong-hyuk’s eyes sank coldly.

“Two years and months for you to abandon them.”

Flinch!

“I’m meddling in the capacity of a guardian who’s been protecting me.”

“What do you mean, throw it away?”

“Have you notified the trainee of termination of the contract?”

“…….”

“Yeah, I don’t think so. This is a crime of abuse for now. And it’s a matter of course to have a lawyer in a contract, but I don’t know why you’re setting up such a date. Are you feeling guilty?”

The office became quiet, and Park’s face hardened.

He looked at five people, asking if this was what you meant, and the five who were stiffened avoided his eyes.

Park’s mouth is loose.

“This…… I was going to release an album because I thought it was a bit too much, but I don’t want it to come out like this.”

Jong-hyuk’s eyes got colder.

“I don’t know why it’s so difficult to have a lawyer with me, but I can’t help saying that.”

“Ha ha. That’s right. Now I understand…….”

“Let’s go, brothers. He can’t sign a contract. The entertainment agency isn’t the only one here.”

When Jong-hyuk turned around, Park was stunned.

“Hey, Choi!”

Emotions disappeared from Jong-hyuk’s eyes.

“Hey.”

“What? Uh, hey?”

“No matter how bad things are, why are you pretending to be so nice when you haven’t called? Don’t flatter yourself. You didn’t choose these brothers. These guys chose your company. Even though these talented brothers were treated like that, they chose your company to repay the favor that they had chosen as trainees.”

“This guy! Hey! How old are you?”

“I’m sorry, lawyer. You’ve come a long way, so you should hang out with me today.”

“……huh. I don’t care if I get a high fee.”

Ring! Ring!

“Wait a minute.”

Jong-hyuk answered the phone.

Boss. Sidus is in a bad financial situation. I think a billion will bring in a 13 percent stake.

Jong-hyuk laughed in vain.

“You’re acting like a tongue in my mouth. How did you know that?”

I’ve called a lawyer, and I can’t miss this.

“What about JYK?”

I’ll bring about 7 percent there. There’s a star here.

“JYK. One billion and seven percent. Okay.”

‘One billion won?’ Park and people’s bodies shook greatly.

That money is a year’s sales of Jeon Woo-sung, the star of Sidus.

Jong-hyuk saw five older brothers.

“Let’s go. Any company can succeed with 1 billion won.”

“What?”

“It’s okay. It’s an investment. You can pay it back if you succeed.”

“Now, wait a minute!”

Oh my god.

Jong-hyuk glanced at the hand that held him on the shoulder and looked at Park, the owner of the hand.

Park, who hurriedly pulled out, was restless.

At that moment, someone rushed out of the inside and bowed their head.

“There seems to be a small mistake in our staff’s delivery. I’m sorry.”

“Boss!”

“I’m Jung Young-joo, CEO of Sidus.”

Jong-hyuk managed to hold back his laughter.

You’ve got an estimate.’

A lawyer from the High Court, accompanied by a former senior judge, said one billion won.

Jong-hyuk It may be questionable how he has a billion won, but the lawyer sitting with him would have given him faith.

Perhaps it would have come out at the end of the contract if it hadn’t been heard from the inside.

This is the type of business.’

A prudent, but indecisive manager.

I am sorry that I left it unattended for two years due to this poor situation, and I have enough compassion and conscience to release the album.

“I also felt like I was ignoring my brothers who had a hard time. This is Choi Jong-hyuk.”

“Now that I’ve said hello, can I take it as a contract?”

‘Nucksal.’ Jong-hyuk felt a little relieved.

“I’ll look at the contract first.”

“Ha ha. You should. This way. Miss Kim! Coffee, by the number of people!

They entered the president’s office inside.

an office full of bonsai Jun-hyung and five others looked around the first place, amazed.

Jung Young-joo took the contract from her desk and bowed her head to the five.

“I’ll apologize first. I’ve been sorry.”

“No, no, don’t worry! I’m glad you’re here now.”

“Oh, no, sir!”

“No matter how you explain the situation, it sounds like an excuse to you. It’s an excuse. No matter how hard the company was, I should have protected you.”

Jun-hyung and four others shook their hands, shaking their hips, and Jong-hyuk squinted.

You know how to use weakness as a weapon.’

I should apologize, but I didn’t have to do it at this time. I could feel his sincerity, but he was a scary type of business.

“Well.”

“What do you say, lawyer?”

“This is what celebrity contracts are like.”

The lawyer said, “I didn’t know there would be such a contract,” adding, “I was dumbfounded.

“May I have a look?”

The lawyer willingly turned it over.

I said abuse in that situation. I learned how to do it properly.’

It is surprising that an athlete has learned how to do it.

Looking back, Jong-hyuk laughed in vain at the contract.

“I knew it. Ha.”

There is no such thing as a slave contract.

Slave contracts that were too severe in these days.

“Hmm. That’s the standard contract in the entertainment industry, Choi.”

“In the previous 10 years, the allocation ratio is 8 to 2. If we divide it into five people here, it’s only 0.4 per person. The total cost of the unit is also on this side.” No relationship during exclusive period, no secondary revenue distribution. No revenue distribution if record sales volume is not met. Is this really standard?”

There was anger in Jong-hyuk’s eyes, but Jung Young-joo remained unshakable.

“Instead, we spend billions of dollars to produce albums, teach them singing and dancing, and schedule them. Coordinator, manager, and other employees.”

“Instead, this side earns billions, tens of billions.”

“It’s a story of possibility.”

Jong-hyuk was frustrated.

They’re obviously successful people, but I can’t say it.

“But since I’ve done something, I’m going to fix the allocation ratio 7 to 3 and reduce the contract to 6 years.”

Junhyung and four people’s eyes became round.

But Jong-hyuk was still dumbfounded.

“Will you leave it to me from now on, client?”

His calm eyes and words nodded Jong-hyuk.

“Thank you. Now I’m paying for the meal.”

The lawyer took out the tape recorder first.

“All the conversations we have from now on have legal effect. CEO Jung Young-joo, do you agree?”

“……Well, I admit it.”

The lawyer raised his glasses.

“First of all, this contract. It’s a violation of the Fair Trade Act from start to finish.”

Flinch!

‘That’s right.’

That’s what Jong-hyuk wanted to say.

“Restraint individual liberty in the name of a contract. CEO Jung Young-joo, are you curious about the inside of the prison?”

Boom!?

Jung Young-joo’s body was shaking.

He was a senior judge of the High Court, so it didn’t sound like nonsense.

“What, what!”

“I don’t see the difference between a physical waiver and a physical waiver.”

Jung Young-joo’s relaxed face became blurred.

“He, it’s….”

“In addition, if we fail to meet the goal of album sales in Article 3-1, there will be no profit allocation and no second profit allocation in Article 15-3,” he said. “This is a clear exploitation. A breach of personal freedom that is not in love.”

“No, this is what all of these floors acknowledge and sign.”

“There’s nothing about how we’re going to support it, and there’s a lack of cases of profit. There are no items related to the income of the event, drama, or movie. CEO Chung Young-joo, this contract itself is an offence.”

The last horse was a fatal blow.

“I can’t believe it..”

“It turned out to be illegal that everyone admitted?” Jung Young-joo was out of her mind.

“Oh, what should I do…….”

‘Oh, my!’ Panic left me with nonsense.

But the lawyer who waited for the word smiled.

“If you don’t want to be punished for unfair trade, you can do fair trade, CEO Jung Young-joo.”

Jong-hyuk clapped inwardly at the lawyer.

Bravo.

He stepped forward.

“So, as the lawyer said, please break the trainee contract with these guys fairly.”

Chung Young-joo clenched her teeth.
