Checking Secretary Han Jiyu's Affection Level

I checked Secretary Han Jiyu's affection level.

Raising her affection level wasn't easy at all. Even though we spent a lot of time together and I treated her as well as possible, it rose so slowly.

'Relax. Time is on my side. If I build it up steadily, affection will turn into love, and with some skinship, I can make her mine.' I tried to calm my impatient heart. Getting hasty leads to rash actions, rash actions narrow your vision, and a narrow vision leads to mistakes. Only by letting go and maintaining a calm mind does your vision widen and mistakes decrease.

'If I get impatient... I'll end up like Tutor Woo Jin-seop...'

Tutor Woo Jin-seop had impulsively confessed to Secretary Han Jiyu and gotten shot down. Not only had their relationship not recovered, but the distance between them had grown even wider. I had no intention of repeating his mistake. I'd use him as a negative example.

"Is there something on my face?"

Secretary Han Jiyu tilted her head.

"No, nothing like that. Just..."

"...?"

She stared at me with her blunt gaze.

"I was thinking you could be a celebrity. You're as attractive and beautiful as our agency's actors."

"No, I'm not. I'm just ordinary. Not pretty or attractive like celebrities."

She truly believed she was a modest, average citizen. Honestly, her looks were above average, but she thought she had zero charm. The one overflowing with charm was the CEO—me—not someone like her.

"What? Ordinary? ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠If you're ordinary, then 99.999% of women in our country are below ordinary."

"...?"

She was in the top 0.001% for looks—a stunning beauty. Top 0.001% genius in talent. And she even had great character. Top 0.001% woman overall.

"......"

Secretary Han Jiyu found the compliment on her looks unfamiliar and embarrassing. Her parents had always scolded her strictly without praise. In school, she'd been ostracized as arrogant. Compared to her outstanding brothers, she saw herself as utterly worthless.

"...Thank you for the compliment."

A faint blush colored her cheeks.

I sat on the sofa and sipped my Americano while receiving her briefing.

"The YSP Coin Exchange has about 300 daily average visitors."

"Promotion for the exchange will start in two weeks."

"Team Leader Kim Ji-min is focusing on upgrading site security."

"YSP Coin production has begun."

"The site is small-scale right now, so operations are smooth, but even a slight increase in scale will cause server and staffing issues."

We decided to expand the YSP Coin Exchange operations team and server room. I'd add a promotion team, security team, and support team to operations. Plans were set to build a massive server room next to the Bitcoin mining facility.

"The IT team has started work on the internet broadcasting site. It's progressing smoothly."

The site name was YTV, taken from YSP's "Y."

"Here's the YTV report."

I took the report and skimmed it.

'Wow... Secretary Han really is a monster...'

Her report quality was evolving daily. It detailed vision, operations policy, org chart, promotion methods, budget—everything.

"Wow, this is excellent."

It was flawless.

"Truly perfect. Great job."

"Thank you."

"We'll operate YTV as outlined in the report."

"I'll handle it."

Just fill the org chart with talent and allocate ample budget, and it was done.

"Hmm... Once YTV opens... How about stock broadcasts?"

"You, sir?"

"Yeah. For fun, maybe do live shows on finance, economy, stocks, coins?"

Primary live on YTV, then upload highlights to YouTube.

"Hmm... In my opinion... Finance, economy, and coin broadcasts sound fine, but stock broadcasts are risky."

"Why?"

She tilted her head.

"One misstep could lead to financial law violations and stock manipulation charges."

"Ah...? Oh...? Yeah, you're right. Too much potential for abuse."

"Yes."

What if a celebrity buys 1 billion won of Company A's stock and publicly recommends it? The price would skyrocket with public buying. The moment they sell for profit—financial law violation.

'Even if I recommend stocks with good intentions...'

How many stock recommenders out there have pure motives? Even if I did it kindly, 9 out of 10 others would have malicious intent.

"We'll skip stocks then."

I smiled warmly.

"Thanks. Without you, Secretary Han, I'd be in handcuffs."

That was a close call. We continued the briefing for a while and chatted on various topics. Once done...

"Here, a gift for you."

I pulled a fancy small paper bag from my briefcase and handed it over.

"What's this?"

"Check it out yourself."

She looked inside.

"...Jungwon Shop VIP pass?"

"It's a one-year pass for free hair, makeup, nails, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠beauty treatments. They're famous for skill—even celebrities go there."

"Thank you. I'll use it well."

Her face brightened.

The corners of her mouth lifted sky-high.

I invested 60 billion KRW. It more than doubled to 130 billion KRW. A 70 billion KRW profit.

From the 130 billion KRW...

Bought 100,000 Bitcoin.

13 billion KRW invested in businesses.

48 billion KRW left as reserves.

Bet 100 billion KRW on Tesla. Tesla stock traded around $24, exchange rate 1,130 KRW per USD. Bought at 27,100 KRW per share.

Now holding 3.69 million shares.
