If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

66 – Bonus Is the Price of a Car

Episode 66

When I came to work, I had to be immediately taken to the president’s office.

“Team leader Sun! “What kind of crazy thing did you do when you went to Jinkang?”

“First of all, the assumption that I might have done something crazy again is somewhat biased…”

“That sounds like prejudice. It’s all the team leader’s karma. Think about what Team Leader Sun has done so far!”

“… “I’m sorry.”

I didn’t want to live like this either. I just wanted to succeed comfortably.

When Cheon A-ram saw me with my head down and in a reflective posture, I sighed and said.

“You said that Suyeon and I would take care of things this time. As soon as you say that, crashing into the Jin River is an action.”

There were excuses.

“That… I didn’t hit it. It is correct to say that Jin Kang hit me.”

If a tank collides with a person, it is usually correct to assume that the tank hits the person.

“On my way home from work, dozens of suit workers suddenly appeared, surrounded me, and said they would take me to see the chairman because he wanted to see them. … I really didn’t want to see it, but I was not capable of shaking off those people and filming the chase, so I was quietly captured and kidnapped in front of Chairman Jin Baek-ho.”

Cheon A-ram must have sympathized with the fact that it was an unavoidable situation and she clicked her tongue and said.

“… Would you do something like that in the 21st century? “Aren’t there any lines among those crazy people?”

“Haha, but I think he must have been relatively gentle since he didn’t go as far as dipping it in a drum and throwing it into the sea.”

“…”

“… “It was a joke.”

Looking at Cheon A-ram’s reaction, it was clear that my sense of humor was good.

As I watched both Winter and Gaeul lose their mood every time I made a joke in this episode, I realized how toxic the people who laughed at me in the previous episode were.

Those guys were completely taken aback by my shitty sense of humor.

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like he would only be able to demonstrate such a spirit of service if he had a dirty dark desire to take advantage of me.

… But you didn’t know that at all in the previous episode?

The more I sold, the more I had a reasonable suspicion that I deserved to be stabbed in the back in the previous episode.

“Since I was dragged in like that, I decided that keeping my mouth shut would not be good for Two Bear’s image.”

In reality, it was more like he was trying to keep quiet and made a sudden move, but that was his own story.

“So, we showed our vision by representing Two Bear’s position and sincerity as much as possible, and in Chairman Jin Baek-ho’s mind, it seemed like we had crossed the lowest passing line.”

In fact, looking back on his reaction at the time, he did not seem completely convinced, but since he succeeded in surviving with all four limbs intact, it seemed like he did not have any bad luck.

Boss, I tried my best.

“Okay, I understand. From Team Leader Seon’s perspective, he did his best in an unexpected situation.”

“… Yes, that’s right.”

“Actually, I called you to say something about you rushing in alone, but I don’t want to say more about the circumstances. … Well, there’s no need for a whip, so just give me a carrot.”

Huh, carrot?

“Jingang’s staff approached me.”

“… “What is your intention?”

Cheon A-ram looked at me nervous and smiled slightly and said.

“They said they would draw up contract conditions for Jin Yeoreum and promise to actively invest if the treatment is satisfactory. “I already had a lot of money to spend, so I was very grateful.”

What is it, Chairman Jin Baek-ho? Are you pretending not to like it and then taking care of it?

If that’s the case, you should treat people kindly.

Do you think I would appreciate something like this?

“The team leader did a great job on behalf of me in attracting investment, which is what I should have done, so there should be compensation. Do you remember the bonus criteria specified in the contract back then? There, I will treat you according to the standards of the top class. “Why don’t you at least change your car?”

Thank you! Chairman Jin Baek-ho!

When Cheon A-ram operated the smartphone and showed me the approximate bonus amount, my eyes rolled back.

I was already excited to hear how I was going to manage that money well.

When it comes to cars, it’s all about the best.

“Oh, and this is what I was planning to say at the meeting later, but I’ll just tell the team leader in advance.”

“Yes, I will listen.”

I, whose loyalty had reached its limit through financial treatment, listened to Cheon A-ram with bright eyes.

“I was chatting with a younger friend I know this time, and when I told him that I was creating a girl group, he asked me if I would like to send one of my trainees on TV.”

Sending a trainee who hasn’t even debuted on TV?

“What kind of broadcast is this?”

Cheon A-ram spoke while gently touching his chin.

“It’s an idol survival contest program called ‘Girls 100.’ “It was a project where 100 trainees would compete against each other, select 11, and have them work as a project girl group for a certain period of time.”

“… ‘Girls 100’?”

“Yes, it seemed like a life-or-death project at Munet. There are over 50 participating agencies.”

It was an unforgettable name.

That’s because Girls 100 is a program where the CP and PD are later investigated for vote-rigging controversy and are found guilty, resulting in both CP and PD being imprisoned.

Cheon A-ram spoke indifferently, obviously not knowing what was going on inside me.

“I think it would be a good idea to give it a try. What does Team Manager Seon think?”

Boss, isn’t this a poisoned chalice?

***

“Well, first of all, let’s understand that participation in ‘Girls 100’ is all positive.”

“… Um, Team Leader Sun didn’t express his opinion?”

“Now that I think about it, it was strangely quiet this time. Team leader Sun. Did you have something else on your mind? “Speak comfortably.”

For now, I avoided answering.

“No. I also think that Girls 100 can have a good promotional effect.”

“Okay? That’s good, then. Let’s end today’s meeting here.”

Cheon A-ram, who was about to leave, looked at me and said as if she just remembered something.

“Ah, Team Leader Sun, please tell me which of the three you would like to send. “I will ask the two trainers to cooperate with Team Leader Seon.”

“Yes, I will.”

“Yes, I will do as Miss Cheon wishes.”

“…”

That was the end of the meeting.

At the meeting, everyone except me was favorable to the participation of ‘Girls 100’.

In fact, considering the title, program method, investment amount, and planning intention, opposition to participation was abnormal.

This is especially true from the standpoint of Two Bear, the worst agency of all.

Of course, it was true that if you entered the In 11 and participated in a project girl group, the timing of your debut would become complicated, but even considering that, the fruits of ‘Girls 100’ were very sweet.

The problem was that only I knew that it was rotten fruit.

The stigma of voting rigging was that dangerous.

Since I have gained trust in the company, it is not impossible to stop it if I force it, but if I oppose it without any logic, my credibility will drop significantly.

Because of that, I could not actively express my opinion at meetings.

It was frustrating.

While thinking about a solution, I watched the children practicing through the window.

The children were all sweating profusely and moving their bodies according to Hye-rin Lee’s instructions.

They were all jewels that showed off their brilliant talent.

If it weren’t for vote manipulation, I thought it would be a sure thing that any of those kids would be in the top 11. It was a worthy talent.

While I was feeling that way, the quest window came up.

[Now it’s time to prove your talent. Let’s have one of Two Bear’s trainees score an A class in Girls 100’s first impression test.]

[Reward – Memory of Possibility]

A class? … Ah, that.

From the beginning, Girls 100 takes a first impression test and grades it from A to F in order to introduce the trainees and give them a growth narrative.

Since it was simply a first impression test, it had no effect on the final entry, but it was very important in determining the initial focus.

That video has about 3 to 7 million views on AllTube.

Among them, A was a grade given to only 11 people. In fact, it ranks 11th.

Achieving this was not easy considering that there were 11 nominees.

However, I thought that our trainees would achieve it as if it were a given.

The problem is his vote manipulation.

Oh, don’t hold this?

I continued to worry while watching the children practice through the window.

While I was thinking deeply, a thought passed through my mind like lightning.

Wait, you only had to make it to the top 11 in the final episode, right?

Those who debuted as a project group through Girls 100 were not the only ones to become a hot topic.

In fact, among them, there were some eliminated people who created a bigger topic than those who became the main characters.

The investigation began because fans of the eliminated candidates actively raised objections.

I was confident that if I was one of those kids, I would be an unrivaled dropout.

While saving the topic, you also get the indulgence of being a mere victim.

This wasn’t something to worry about, right?

The person who gets into the top 11 is guaranteed anyway, so all you have to do is show a good performance.

However, since Cheon A-ram appears to have quite solid connections, there may be an offer for a backroom deal.

What I have to do is prevent that and avoid the evil editing of the Girls 100 production team.

After gaining confidence, I opened the training room and entered.

“Oppa Taeyang?”

“Teacher Taeyang?”

“You’re here. Team Leader Seon,”

The girls who were dancing showed their own reactions when they saw me suddenly appear,

Among them, Jin Yeo-reo’s appearance, showing no change in her dance movements while showing a reaction, was impressive.

“Mr. Sun! Are you here to observe the class? “I am very willing to cooperate, so please feel at ease.”

I thanked him and flopped down on the floor.

The children, who were motivated by seeing me like that, participated in the training more passionately than usual.

I carefully checked the current abilities of the status window while watching the children.

About an hour has passed.

After the training was over, a child was called in.

“What’s going on? Teacher Taeyang? Are you working overtime again? Really fun… , Ah, but you’re calling Gaeul unnie rather than me…”

“It’s not overtime, it’s business travel.”

“Business trip?”

I was convinced again as I watched the status window of Winter tilting her head.

If I had to choose one person, it was right to send Winter.

“Are you ready to go to the survival program where 100 trainees compete?”

“Me?”

Winter said, shaking her hands and eyes.

“Not Gaeul or Yeoreum, but me?”

“Yes, you.”

Winter broke into a cold sweat and said.

“… Can I run away?”

Can you do it?
