Chapter Title: Major Streamer's Recruitment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Jin-seong headed to a nearby real estate office with Min-ji.
As soon as they stepped into the real estate office, the certified broker greeted them with a bright smile.
"Welcome! What kind of place are you looking for?"
Jin-seong got straight to the point without any fluff.
"I need an apartment suitable for a single woman living alone. It doesn't have to be too big—just something clean and newly built nearby would be great."
The broker immediately pulled up his computer and showed them several listings, explaining each one step by step.
Jin-seong picked out a few and suggested they check them out right away.
They arrived at a newly built apartment just a few minutes away by car, and the broker deftly unlocked the front door.
"This is the 24-pyeong unit. Being brand new, it's in fantastic condition. The layout is solid, perfect for a woman living alone."
Jin-seong quickly scanned the interior.
The living room was reasonably spacious, with two bedrooms, a spotless kitchen, and bathroom—nothing to complain about.
"What about the deposit and monthly rent?"
"Deposit is 15 million, rent 650,000. And it's available for immediate move-in."
Without even glancing at Min-ji, Jin-seong made his decision on the spot.
"We'll take this one. Can you get it cleaned right now?"
With that, he pulled cash from his wallet and handed it to the broker for cleaning fees.
Min-ji just stood there in a daze, listening to the exchange between Jin-seong and the broker.
Inside, she was flustered.
'Wait, don't you usually inspect everything carefully before deciding? Is it right to sign a lease this fast?'
But Jin-seong was already moving on to the next step.
"How long will the cleaning take?"
"About four hours."
"Got it."
He immediately took Min-ji to a nearby large outlet mall.
Bed, refrigerator, washing machine, sofa—he breezed through the furniture and appliances, buying them on the spot without hesitation.
Jin-seong said lightly to Min-ji,
"If there's anything else you need, just charge it to the card. Don't hold back."
Min-ji's head was spinning from the breakneck pace.
But to keep up with Jin-seong's rhythm, she had no choice but to follow along.
His speed had already surpassed anything she could process.
In truth, Jin-seong was very experienced with this sort of thing.
Having set up offices multiple times as a master agent, he could proceed swiftly without second-guessing.
Min-ji, on the other hand, had never done anything like this, so the tempo felt even more dizzying to her.
A few hours later, when they returned to the apartment, the cleaning was nearly done.
Thanks to his quick decisions and seamless execution, Min-ji's new place was fully set up in half a day.
Once everything was wrapped up, Jin-seong took Min-ji to a nearby hotel buffet.
They entered the buffet with its sleek interior, grabbed their food, and began eating quietly.
During the meal, Jin-seong brought up her future plans.
"Once you move in tomorrow, start attending academy right away to prep for the CSAT. Don't push too hard—look into universities in Daegu or Gyeongsan instead of Seoul. There are over ten there, so plenty of easier options to get into."
Min-ji honestly felt relieved.
Getting back into studying after so long had her brain feeling rusty, and Seoul universities were out of the question.
Starting fresh at a local college was far more realistic.
In fact, Jin-seong's thinking was straightforward too.
To him, college was just a nameplate.
The truly brilliant minds could be bought with money, so there was no need to fuss over prestigious schools.
They chatted over the buffet about Min-ji's future and life plans.
Handling her independence and fresh start had turned out far simpler and cleaner than expected for both of them.
Jin-seong dragged Min-ji around various places to get her accustomed to spending money freely.
Reading her expression, he spoke slowly and clearly.
"Min-ji, you know oppa runs a rental business, right? Even if I just breathe, 3 billion rolls in every month steady. So never worry about money—just do what I say. Even if you blow 5 million a month, that's less than 1% of what I make. Don't skimp trying to think of me. If you really need something, ask for more anytime."
Min-ji was stunned by his words.
She'd vaguely sensed he had a lot of money, but 3 billion a month was beyond imagination.
Suddenly, 5 million felt like pocket change for snacks.
After eating, they immediately scouted academies for CSAT prep.
Jin-seong told the instructor without hesitation,
"No need for top universities—just get her scores to enter a local college."
The academy welcomed her since aiming for 3rd grade level for regional schools wasn't a big challenge—no Seoul targets required.
After registering, Jin-seong and Min-ji returned to his place.
Unlike the initial awkwardness, Min-ji now felt a bit closer to Jin-seong, who was taking care of her like a big brother.
Her mind was much more at ease than the day before,
and above all, with zero stress, her face had brightened noticeably.
Back home, Jin-seong and Min-ji sat side by side on the sofa.
They each grabbed ice cream from the freezer and unwrapped them, casually sharing stories from their lives.
A little while later, Jin-seong stood up lightly.
"Min-ji, oppa has some work to do now, so go rest in your room or do whatever."
Min-ji smiled faintly and replied,
"Okay, oppa."
Having rushed around all morning, Min-ji was pretty tired.
She decided to head straight to her room and relax.
Confirming Min-ji had gone to her room, Jin-seong entered the room with his computer.
He closed the door, powered it on.
Today, he planned to watch Ye-ji's stream.
To prevent any sound from leaking, he put on headphones and quietly logged into AmericaTV.
As the screen lit up with Ye-ji's stream notification, Jin-seong smiled naturally and clicked into the broadcast.
Not long after Jin-seong joined Ye-ji's stream,
『Coin King has entered!』
A flashy notification effect burst across the top of the screen, followed by 50,000 star balloons exploding with a message.
— Coin King: Apology star shower for the comeback stream
Ye-ji's eyes widened in shock as she let out an exaggerated gasp.
"Oh my gosh~~ Chairman Oppa dropped a whopping 50,000~~!"
Covering her face with her hands, she shook her shoulders playfully and said,
"My wounded heart is totally healed with this financial therapy~ All thanks to Oppa!"
Ye-ji hammed it up charmingly.
lololololololol
lolololololol
The chat flooded with laughter, and Jin-seong smiled lightly, pleased by Ye-ji's witty reaction.
Coin King's chat popped up again.
Can you do yesterday's thing again today since I missed it?
Ye-ji nodded with a bright smile.
"Of course, Oppa! Hang on, I'll change quick and be right back!"
Moments later, Ye-ji reappeared on screen in the same Nezuko cosplay from yesterday.
Jin-seong gazed contentedly at her fresh look.
The cute braided hair and Japanese kimono, with glimpses of her white legs peeking through, felt irresistibly sexy.
Ye-ji flashed a sweet smile at the camera and asked,
"Chairman Oppa, do you like it?"
Jin-seong fired off 20,000 star balloons and replied concisely.
— Coin King: Good
Thrilled by the response, Ye-ji said,
"Oppa, I learned a new reaction dance just for you? It's a popular Japanese song called 'Sakuranbo'—I'll show you!"
As soon as she finished, upbeat Japanese pop flowed out, and Ye-ji started a cute, lively dance perfectly synced to the rhythm.
It matched the Nezuko cosplay like a glove.
Viewers watching the screen cheered, spamming the chat.
Ye-ji-chan so kawaii...
Ye-ji noona is cuteness incarnate!
Jin-seong could tell from the energetic music and her adorable moves through the headphones that Ye-ji had put tons of prep into the stream.
He was enjoying the broadcast, losing track of time for the first time in ages.
Then, it happened.
Ye-ji's stream, which usually averaged around 300 viewers, suddenly surged with newcomers.
Viewers jumped to 500, 700, then over 1,000 in a flash.
real
real
real
real
The chat filled with cryptic messages.
Ye-ji and Jin-seong both stared at the screen in confusion.
'What's going on all of a sudden?'
As Ye-ji panicked, 500 star balloons exploded with a polite chat.
— Min-jun: Hello, Ye-ji. This is streamer Min-jun. Doing content—got a sec?
Ye-ji's eyes went wide as saucers upon reading it.
Min-jun was AmericaTV's top mega-streamer with the most fans, even called the King.
He was currently doing content raiding various girl cam streams for collaborations.
For such a big name to personally visit her stream and pitch a collab, Ye-ji could hardly believe it.
Min-jun chatted again.
Discord possible?
Still flustered, Ye-ji leaned into the mic and replied quickly.
"Y-yes! Min-jun oppa, Discord's good!"
Discord connected soon after, and Min-jun's profile appeared on screen.
Viewers buzzed with excitement, and Ye-ji's heart raced with tension and thrill at the suddenly massive audience.
Jin-seong, silently observing it all, watched the screen expectantly, wondering what opportunity mega-streamer Min-jun's appearance might bring Ye-ji.
