## Chapter 62 – 07. Mess Around and Find Out
How did Aunt know I needed an island?
Well, Soo-ah wouldn’t have been discreet in her investigation, so that’s understandable, but even so, why would that lead to a phone call…?
– Your grandfather, bless his heart, said he’d give you an artificial island. I can’t say anything if he wants to give you what he has, but why does it have to be the artificial island I ordered 13 years ago…?
“Ah… I, I see.”
– Of course, I said no. It’s not cheap, and it takes time, you know? It’s all preparation for my grand plan, honestly.
Looks like Grandpa was planning to give me another gift.
And it somehow got to Aunt.
– This aunt feels bad for taking away your gift.
“Ah… It’s, it’s okay. I wouldn’t be able to manage it properly anyway.”
– That’s right. The one I ordered is about a third the size of Incheon. You wouldn’t be able to use it even if I gave it to you.
“Excuse me? A third of Incheon?”
Is she crazy?
Incheon is one of the largest metropolitan cities in Korea…
A third of Incheon?
‘Was he that fond of the Go board…?’
Maybe he’s talking to the ghost of Han Guk-young by now.
Maybe that’s why he’s so happy.
– Instead, I have a spare artificial island. How about I give you that? It’s much smaller, so it’ll be easier to use for personal purposes. I can’t just give it to you, so if you can convince me in a month, I’ll gladly give it to you.
“Convince… you, you say?”
What am I supposed to convince her of?
Does she want me to do a PPT on why I need an artificial island…?
– Yes. Convince me.
I don’t know what it is, but it can’t hurt.
Artificial islands are impossible to get even with money, so getting one by just convincing her is an incredible deal.
Besides, I have a clear purpose.
I’m already preparing to build a prison and establish a mercenary company.
‘An artificial island is the perfect thing for running a prison.’
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity, Aunt. I’ll prepare diligently.”
– Good. Let’s see each other in a month.
“Yes. Goodbye!”
I bowed deeply to her, even though she couldn’t see me, and hung up the phone.
Soo-ah asked.
“An artificial island? She’s going to give you one?”
“Yeah. Aunt said she’ll give it to me. You need to organize everything and give it to me so I can convince her.”
“Yes, Master. But wow… even most countries can’t get their hands on one…”
“I’ll soon be a nation myself. The direct grandson of the Goryeo Group. A walking empire.”
I just don’t have much money.
“…Honestly, I was half-doubtful until now, but now I really see it.”
“What? Half-doubtful?”
This girl is talking nonsense from the morning.
“How dare you say such disrespectful things? You need to be punished.”
“Huh? Kyaa!”
+++
I came to the Goryeo Entertainment office in Ganghwa.
As soon as I arrived, I gathered the LUMINA girls.
They were practicing hard, but they came running as fast as they could.
I sat on the sofa with my legs crossed and lined them up.
They were all drenched in sweat.
“Is everything going well?”
“Yes, yes… CEO. We’re working hard…”
“Not just ‘hard,’ are you doing ‘well’?”
“….”
“Well, I guess you can’t express it in words. Show me.”
I gave the manager a look, and she gave a timing signal with her hand before playing the music.
LUMINA, who had been preparing with nervous faces, danced with much-improved skills.
Since they were debuting as a sexy concept idol group, the title track was obviously aiming for that, but unfortunately, my dick didn’t get hard by the end of the dance.
‘Hmm. It doesn’t seem bad… Is it because I just had sex with Soo-ah?’
That was the disappointing part.
If I were to drastically revise the choreography now, it would take more time.
But if I just let them debut as is, it would feel a bit bland.
“Good work.”
“….”
“Everyone, say something. What did you think? Soo-ah, you go first.”
She was the one who opposed bringing in these trainees from the start.
She had been critical of them even after that, but surprisingly, this time she praised them.
“It’s good. It’s much better than before. The dance is very powerful. Their expressions are good too, so I think it’ll appeal to women as well.”
The rest of the staff mostly agreed.
They were all nodding and seemed satisfied.
“Baekseol, what about you?”
She stuttered, as if she didn’t expect to be asked.
“Uh… I, I don’t know much about this field… but the movements themselves seem good. They’re clean without being excessive, and the teamwork is good too. It’s not boring to watch.”
Everyone seems to think it’s not bad.
It’s a bit different from what I thought, but I was soon able to figure out the cause of the problem.
‘They’re all women, so they don’t know the male perspective.’
The song and choreography were received from Rainbow Miracle, but the final confirmation is ultimately done by the people at Goryeo Entertainment.
And they’re all women.
They can’t possibly know the points that make a man’s dick hard.
When the evaluation came out positively, the LUMINA girls smiled slyly.
Then they looked at me.
“I feel the same way. The dance was good, the completion was high, and the song was addictive.”
“T, thank you…!”
“But.”
“…?”
I spread my legs and pointed at my dick.
“The most important thing didn’t happen?”
“Ah…”
“What did I tell you before?”
“S, somehow… just make you hard…”
“Right. That’s the essence of sexy. But I’m not hard right now. That means it’s a bit lacking as a sexy concept. And yet you gave it a good evaluation.”
The atmosphere became somber.
“W, we thought that if we went too far in that direction… it would be too much of an image consumption, so we adjusted it, CEO…”
The producer said cautiously.
Her opinion was valid. Image consumption. Of course, it could happen.
“Who said to take your tits out and show them? Do it teasingly. But increase the time. And why are you worrying about that from the debut?”
“….”
“I’ll check every day from now on, so revise the choreography.”
There’s nothing less efficient than a higher-up interfering with every little thing…
But I’m the only man at Goryeo Entertainment, so there’s no other choice.
I can’t hire a man just for this.
Chastity is more important than efficiency.
“What about the teaser photos?”
“Ah, yes! They’re finished. We just need to upload them.”
“Bring them here.”
Fortunately, the teaser photos turned out well.
“Put ads on this and make a video. Upload it to Mytube when it’s done.”
“Yes.”
After roughly managing LUMINA, I took a look at the affiliated celebrities.
Since I had signed contracts with 137 celebrities at once, many problems had arisen.
I couldn’t handle it all myself, so I pulled in personnel from Rainbow Miracle to somehow patch things up.
Fortunately, agencies were going bankrupt in real-time, so it was a problem that could be normalized with a little time. There would be a lot of related personnel released into the market.
There would be quite a few women among them.
“How’s the reaction to the industry standard contract?”
“It’s fifty-fifty. Some people like it, and some people don’t. The people who like it seem to appreciate the feeling that it takes better care of the actors’ rights, and the people who don’t like it are more focused on the work. It’s based on sincerity.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If we don’t allow any physical contact, including kissing, I think there will be many restrictions on making videos.”
“Hmm.”
Well, yeah.
Even in porn, it’s quite a problem if it turns out that it wasn’t real penetration.
“Mobilize people and call them perverts.”
“Excuse me?”
“Just call the kids who value sincerity perverts.”
“….”
“We can just use CG for that kind of thing, so why does it matter if it was real or not? Isn’t it because you want to have weird fantasies? Something like that.”
“Ah… I understand.”
While I was handling the work, it was soon lunchtime, and I got a call from Prosecutor Lee Na-eun.
“What’s up?”
– I think I have something to tell Master. The special investigation team will be disbanded sometime this week.
“I heard about it from Soo-ah earlier. Hyun-joo will be releasing an article soon. Your superiors should have some sense, so I think they’ll make a good decision on their own, right?”
– I think so too, but…
Lee Na-eun, who trailed off, seemed happy for some reason.
– I heard rumors that ‘Goryeo Group’ is involved in this special investigation team disbandment.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
If it’s Goryeo Group, they should be helping me maintain the special investigation team. Why are they trying to disband it?
– While investigating, we raided an agency, and among the people who received sexual favors from that agency, there was someone presumed to be a collateral relative of Goryeo Group.
“….”
Ah.
That’s right.
People from Goryeo Group can receive sexual favors too.
Just like me.
It’s actually surprising that it’s been quiet until now.
“So, the special investigation team is being disbanded because of that? Because the collateral relative is putting in the effort?”
– Actually, I received an ominous threatening email. My superiors are also pressuring me. It’s quite thrilling, so I’m enjoying my work. Hehe.
Judging by the laughter in between, this girl really seems to be enjoying it.
It’s not just because she trusts me and is acting out. She had this feeling even when she was challenging me, so she’s just a inherently strange girl.
‘Soo-ah evaluated her as a psycho… Is she similar to Go Min-ji?’
“Okay, I understand. Just keep doing what you’re doing as a prosecutor of justice.”
– Yes~
“Ah, and who is this person presumed to be a collateral relative? Who are they putting pressure on?”
– I’ll send you their personal information right away. They’re putting pressure on the Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office. The chief prosecutor.
The chief prosecutor of the Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office…
They just went straight to the top.
Tsk.
Should I advertise that the owner of Goryeo Entertainment is Go Mu-yeol, the only direct grandson of Goryeo Group?
Or maybe they know?
Maybe they’re just saying, ‘Let’s be considerate of each other since we’re from the same owner family.’
Then they should have said something in advance.
Of course, I wouldn’t have listened even if they did.
“How dare some collateral relative be so presumptuous… From now on, I’m the only one who can receive sexual favors in the entertainment industry.”
Ting.
A text message came right away.
The name of the guy presumed to be a collateral relative is…
– Jeon Seong-hyun.
“Who is this?”
There are so many collateral relatives that I honestly don’t know.
