Chapter 21
Chapter 21
But thinking about it carefully.
He's useful.
But I don't want to keep him close.
For one, he's loose-lipped. And unlike his innocent appearance, he had a foxy side to him.
I know that just by seeing him hiding like this.
'Because he's perfect to use.'
I immediately stopped Yun Won-seok, who was about to spill his guts.
"Let's have a cup of coffee and talk."
"Ah. Thank you."
If I'm just going to use him, it's not a bad idea to feed him a cup of coffee.
As if I paid some kind of price.
For office workers, an iced Americano is the golden rule.
I grabbed iced Americanos from the cafe in the 1st-floor lobby and escaped to a decent break room to start talking.
"Do you know what our lunch and dinner have been for the last three days?"
"What was it?"
"Gimbap. Tteokbokki. Fried food. Pork cutlet. Now, there's a commonality here. What is it?"
What do you mean, what?
I know immediately just by hearing it.
"They're all snack bars. Did some snack bar send a sponsorship or something?"
"Not that. Team Leader Park kept sticking to snack bars for the past few days. But today, it just stopped."
"What's up with that guy."
Yun Won-seok looks left and right, scanning the surroundings.
He leaned in close and opened his mouth cautiously.
"Other people just thought, 'Why is the Team Leader buying us food for once?' and let it slide, saying they saved money on meals since they're strapped for cash, but not me."
This bastard.
Why did he even come to work at a management company?
Well, if the assigned celebrity doesn't have a schedule, manager artists don't really have anything to do, so they usually stay at the company.
"So I did some investigating."
"Is there a way to know that?"
"Team Leader Park isn't good at keeping those kinds of secrets."
That's true.
Park Ju-yong is just as loose-lipped. Or rather, he's desperate to brag about what he's done.
"It's a bit of a coincidence, but when I was hiding in the emergency exit, I heard Team Leader Park talking to someone."
Why is this bastard hiding somewhere every time I see him?
Is he a ninja?
An industrial spy?
"Listening to it, it seems he found a shining gem who is absolutely bound to succeed."
"......."
Crunch.
Without realizing it, I bit down on the ice I was chewing.
My expression hardens.
"Is that so?"
The fact that Park Ju-yong and I have crossed the point of no return.
I know it. Park Ju-yong knows it.
Practically everyone in this company knows it.
In other words, if I do well, Park Ju-yong gets screwed.
If Park Ju-yong does well, I get screwed.
'Well. As long as I have Novel, I won't lose. But you never know.'
Novel is an incredibly outstanding AI, but that doesn't mean it solves everything.
In reality, if Novel keeps its mouth shut, no one can predict what will happen or how.
In such a situation, if I make a mistake, or if Park Ju-yong creates a development that even Novel didn't predict, the result could change.
[That's true.]
[As a God AI, I can read and predict most situations, but there is no absolute result in the 'future'.]
[It's good to always remember the probability of fluctuation.]
Maybe.
Actually, Novel might know everything.
But it has to say that.
'It'll be more fun.'
Right.
This is entertainment for God. But for me, it was my life.
"I know you and Team Leader Park don't get along, but honestly, it's true that Team Leader Park has made more than one or two celebrities successful."
"So I was a bit rattled for a moment."
Because I've never seen talent that Park Ju-yong was that confident about.
He didn't even make his subordinates do it.
The fact that he personally tried for three days like he was showing 'three visits to the thatched cottage' meant he definitely found someone truly unbelievable.
"But you don't have to worry too much. If that flattery had worked, would Team Leader Park have been in a bad mood all day today? He's in a bad mood because it didn't work."
Thank goodness.
A sigh of relief comes out naturally.
"If Team Leader Park Ju-yong failed, should I find out who the talent is?"
A line like a sycophant.
The feeling that instead of bringing me information, he'll demand something later when I succeed.
Actually, if what Yun Won-seok just said is true.
If I get my hands on that talent, I could definitely drive a stake into Park Ju-yong's heart.
But I shook my head.
"No. It's fine."
I told the puzzled Yun Won-seok the reason.
"Well. Hmm. It's true that Team Leader Park is a devil, but I acknowledge his casting skills as much as he is a devil."
He casts them no matter what it takes.
No lie.
He's the kind of guy who can trick even someone who has zero interest in the 'celeb' life into signing a contract.
"He's a tenacious guy. Honestly, aside from his personality, I acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged."
Although I borrowed Novel's power to bring in Eun Hee-ju and Lee Da-young, the reason I could commit the crazy methods Novel told me without batting an eye was because I had worked under such a person for nearly 3 years.
"But a guy like that gives up in three days? That means it's impossible. It means no matter who goes, it won't work."
At my words, Yun Won-seok looked at me blankly as if slightly surprised, then muttered something terrible.
"Looking at this, it seems Team Leader Park Ju-yong and Team Leader Kim Hyun-woo are a bit alike."
Hearing that, I tapped Yun Won-seok's chest and stood up.
"Don't say such fucking bullshit."
"Hahaha."
And even if it's not the person Park Ju-yong was aiming for. If I borrow Novel's power, I'll be able to bring in new talent quickly anyway.
That wasn't what was important right now.
"Aaaargh!! Fuck. Stop it already. You'll collapse at this rate?"
"I'm fine."
Profanity that should never come out of an idol's mouth.
And a cold, expressionless face that's hard to see as an idol's.
When they should be working hard together to improve, I see the two of them, who have the worst compatibility, bickering.
"Sorry. I'm a bit late."
"No, it's okay, Team Leader Manager."
"Aargh! Team Leader. She's a real psycho, I'm telling you! No, let's rest a bit. If we practiced for an hour, it's right to rest for about 10 minutes, right? Don't you think?"
"I'm fine even if I don't rest. Unlike some weakling."
"Do you think I'm resting because I'm a weakling? I'm saying it because it's efficient! I'm teaching you specially because your method is wrong. If I said something right, just fucking listen!"
"Team Leader Manager said he'd come to teach us if we practiced moderately. If you want to rest, you rest, Unni. I'm fine."
"Aaaaaargh!! It really feels like I'm talking to a wall. I have to form a team and promote with a bastard like this? I feel like I'm going to die from stress!! Already!"
They don't match so much that I wonder if it's possible to be this incompatible.
It was ambiguous to take sides here.
Lee Da-young's words weren't wrong, but Eun Hee-ju isn't a normal person either.
It was right for them to develop on their own in their own ways.
[Agreed.]
Since Novel also agreed, all I had to do was make sure these two tried in their own ways, while also trying to get them to become friends.
"Wait. Calm down, both of you."
"I'm not excited at all. I always listen to what Team Leader Manager says."
"Are you crazy? Do I look like I wouldn't be angry? She doesn't even listen to a word I say."
Lee Da-young is huffing.
At this rate, she looks like she's about to run out just like I saw at the theater troupe yesterday.
I'm just printing the contract now.
"Wait. Da-young, it's good to interfere with others, but don't do that to Hee-ju."
"Eh? Excuse me. Team Leader. Aren't you being too protective? Aren't you treating her too specially? I'm a trainee you brought in just the same."
"Hee-ju. She is special."
At that moment.
Eun Hee-ju's body flinched slightly, and I felt the corners of her mouth move.
Was it my imagination?
"If it were someone else, Hee-ju might definitely look a bit unstable. But I trust Hee-ju. I can control it properly. So don't force your ideology on Hee-ju for no reason. And um. Lee Da-young, let's have a 1-on-1 talk for a moment."
This time, Lee Da-young flinches.
"......Yes."
The active volcano that looked like it was about to erupt at any moment subsided in an instant.
"Hee-ju, could you practice a little more? I'll be right back."
"Yes. Team Leader Manager."
I took Lee Da-young to the emergency exit.
To a place where people wouldn't come as much as possible.
"Hey. Lee Da-young. You really need more training, don't you? How long has it been since you were trained? You're already like this. Calm down a bit. Use softer language. Why are you so harsh?"
"No. Team Leader, you should have seen what Hee-ju was doing."
"What to see. Hee-ju just does exactly what I tell her to do. Shut up and stick your ass out."
"H-here?"
"If Master tells you to spread it, spread it. You fucking bitch. Anywhere."
"Ah. Okay. Mas...ter."
Lee Da-young, with the switch flipped again, shyly sticks her ass out. I pulled down the pants she was wearing and spanked her ass hard.
Slap-!
"Haa-!"
And I made her suck my cock to calm her down a bit.
"Embarrassed, right? I told you. If you don't kill your temper in front of me, I'll punish you every time. Don't think this is the end."
"Slurp, I'm sorry. Chup......."
But why is it.
"Spread your pussy too. I'll cum once."
"Yes, Master."
It might be my imagination.
"Hnnng, hng."
In Lee Da-young's voice as I was fucking her, there seemed to be not only pleasure but also a bit of joy.
[Women are all foxes, I'm telling you.]
[Master, you need to know that too.]
What are you saying.
I know.
I always keep that much in mind.
[Well. What would a man know.]
[Even if I tell you, you'll never know that the level of their foxiness is almost double what men imagine.]
"Haaang! Master's cum, it's filled inside. Hng, you came so much. My panties are all soaked."
"Hold it in. Don't let it flow to the floor for no reason."
"Yes, Master."
As the light sex at the emergency exit ended.
Lee Da-young opened her mouth carefully.
"But. Master."
"Yeah?"
"Hee-ju."
Eun Hee-ju again.
"Why does she call Master 'Team Leader Manager'? It's weird."
"That is."
Yeah, why.
"I don't know either. She could just call me Team Leader or Manager by now. She always does that."
[There's a reason for everything.]
No, then teach me!
Fuck, you're just teasing me and being frustrating.
[No, why are you blaming me for Master being clueless and stupid!]
[I'm dumbfounded.]
"......."
[.......]
I, who got angry for no reason, apologized carefully.
'Sorry.'
[Since you apologized, I'll let it slide this time.]
No, that wasn't what was important right now.
"Let's not eat lunch at the company. Let's eat something delicious. Wait."
If you eat delicious food at the same table, you tend to get closer. In that sense, I immediately searched the internet for foods that women go crazy for.
The results came out immediately.
[1st place is Tteokbokki.]
[Tteokbokkiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!! Women go crazy for Tteokbokki, sir!!!!!!!!!]
[Half of the meals I had with my ex-girlfriend were Tteokbokki.]
No.
Is there a ghost that died because it couldn't eat Tteokbokki? I checked six blogs, and they all have the same answer.
[Tteokbokki is good. I like it too.]
I like spicy stir-fried pork or pork cutlet.
[Tsk. This is why men are...]
I almost fought with Novel again right there.
"Ah, shit. Fine. Let's eat Tteokbokki."
Spicy stir-fried pork is delicious.
Fuck.
[Yes! Tteokbokki is good. This time, I should share the sense of taste with Master for a moment? Oh, there's a famous Tteokbokki restaurant around here. Let's go there.]
The God AI that doesn't teach me the necessary information but finds a Tteokbokki place amazingly well.
[I'm looking forward to it. How famous is it that it hasn't even been a week since it opened, but there are over 1,000 reviews.]
"What's the name of the store?"
[It's called Minseo Tteokbokki.]
[It's located about 526 meters from here. It should take about 8 minutes on foot.]
In the end, I took Eun Hee-ju and Lee Da-young to the store Novel told me about.
Right.
Hoping they would reconcile after eating delicious Tteokbokki.
But.
"Ah! Welcome! This is Minseo Tteokbokki. We have a lot of customers, so could you wait about 5 minutes? Hahat! I'm sorry! Please wait just a little bit! It's really delicious here. You must eat here before you go! You definitely won't regret it!"
A cute and pretty girl who was so full of energy that I felt like I had to cheer up instead welcomed us first.
The more surprising thing is.
[Gil Min-seo, SS+]
That she has a higher grade than Eun Hee-ju.
