Jung Jinsup.Son of the CEO of Korea's top game company, MOX.He was a smart man who graduated from Seoul University with a degree in computer science. He ended up working with Choi Gichul to open a cryptocurrency trading dealer.Woosung had to restrain himself from punching him.He never expected to see Jung Jinsup here!Woosung knew he would meet him sooner or later, but when it actually happened, he found it difficult to restrain his anger. He gritted his teeth with great intensity. Shin Semi felt the tension welling up in him and looked at him."Woosung?"Jung Jinsup also heard the clenching of his teeth and looked at him with widened eyes. He was sure this was the first time he met Woosung, yet the fury he saw in his eyes were directed at him, no doubt. Suddenly, Jung Jinsup thought he knew why."Ha….haha. Are you by chance Semi's boyfriend?"Shin Semi shook her head. Her ears were reddening. Woosung calmed himself and replied. "No, it's just that I keep getting calls from work." Woosung took out his phone, which was vibrating at the moment. "I told them not to call me after work…Haha, excuse me."Jung Jinsup smiled understandingly. "I know how you feel, that's really annoying. I totally understand."Woosung checked his phone. It was from Alex. When he didn't answer the phone, Alex sent him multiple texts. "Oh my god Boss!""Do you know how much we made today?" The text messages continued like rapid fire without a hint of stopping. "I am freaking out.""Are you a God?""How!? How!!!!!" Its clear that the news made Alex excited. Woosung grinned and whispered to Shin Semi."Did you check the exchange rate today?"She nodded. Woosung continued right thereafter. "It's going to soar. You better get on it."Her face reddened noticeably. Jung Jinsup saw this and murmured. "Semi's usually not close to anyone like this…"Woosung stepped away from her and explained. "Haha, it seems like it's nothing urgent. Let's go in."***The room was elegant, clad with beautiful light fixtures. Women in expensive dresses and jewelry stood around like stars in the night sky, drinking wine.It felt like a different world. Sipping a glass of champagne, Woosung murmured. "It feels like a celebrity award show or something.""Those shows are usually funded by these people in here.""Oh!" Woosung murmured."Please remember, there are very important people in this room."Woosung smirked coldly.'Such entitled people…Is she saying I should act a certain way?'Shin Semi looked around and blew a murmur on Woosung's ear. "That guy. He's the son of LM Electronics' CEO."LM Electronics.It was Daeyang's only current competition, but in Woosung's previous life in 2018, it was a dying company."That guy talking to Jung Jinsup, he is the son of TK Telecom's CEO."TK Telecom.It was one of the biggest communication companies along with KF Telecom in Korea.Woosung tried to remember every face in the room. His phone was confiscated before his entry for security reasons. He couldn't take notes or photos to study later. He had to rely on his memories alone.Woosung made it clear to himself that he should pay a closer look at the people conversing with Jung Jinsup. Shin Semi was very helpful. She introduced many people to Woosung and explained their positions to him. It didn't take a long time for him to realize that this room houses the children of CEO's and high-ranking government officials.Suddenly, a man tapped his glass to grab everyone's attention.Woosung turned around and recognized the person.It was Lee Sunghyun, the second son of the current Korean President, Lee Parksung. He grinned and announced."It's pretty cold outside. The financial world is also not so warm right now. I'm sure every leaders here worked very hard to patch your losses up."Leaders. This was how everyone was called here. Leader Shin Semi, leader Kang Woosung, and so on…"...But I believe we are all heading towards the right direction. Things are getting better." Lee Sunghyun then turned towards Woosung. "We also have a wonderful news tonight. It seems like we have a new leader in this room!"Everyone raised their glasses in response to his latter announcement. "It's leader Kang Woosung, who received a recommendation from leader Shin Semi. Let's welcome him to our world."It was only then when one at a time, men started clapping their hands until everyone followed. Woosung looked around in a daze. Jung Jinsup was also applauding. He was disappointed to see that Choi Gichul was not here though.Lee Sunghyun continued. "Leader Kang Woosung is a newcomer in the business world. Most of you may not know this, but this young man is the CEO of KND Corporation. He purchased Pine Tech recently and has announced a release of a new smartphone. I hope leader Gu Bongjun and leader Choi Gichul, who unfortunately is not here today, will play fair with our new member."Woosung tried hard not to grin. He bit his lips. So Choi Gichul did belong to this group!'I knew it!'Shin Semi noticed Woosung's change in demeanour and whispered. "Choi Gichul is still abroad because of that incident.""I already knew that." Woosung calmed down and replied."You seemed like you were disappointed."Woosung didn't react to Shin Semi's question."Haha, thank you for your interest in me. I appreciate it." He answered nonchalantly."It's not like that."Lee Sunghyun then pointed at Woosung and asked."I hate to interrupt your conversation, but please pay attention." Woosung turned to Lee Sunghyun. "We would all appreciate a few words from our new leader, Woosung."Woosung brought out a manufactured smile from within the pit of his gut and gave a speech he prepared."Firstly, I am honored to be part of such an exclusive group of leaders. I thought about what I should bring today. I felt like a gift for everyone is appropriate."Lee Sunghyun looked around and replied. "I don't think anybody here needs anything from you. Let's ask. Does anyone here need a gift from Woosung?"Everyone laughed at his joke. Jun Taewon, who was the son of TK Telecom's CEO, yelled out rudely. "So you're gonna make a smartphone? Then it seems like I should be the one giving you a gift.""Hahaha!"Many sneered unpleasantly.In 2008, all cell phones could be only sold by telecom companies. If these companies didn't accept Woosung's new smartphone, it couldn't be sold in Korea.Woosung answered with an unfazed magnificence."Haha, if you are offering, then I wouldn't object., but my gift is a little different. It is an information you can use to recover from the recent global financial crisis." Shin Semi's eyes widened. She knew what Woosung would say. He looked around. "Does anyone know what the exchange rate is today?"Most looked dumbfounded, but Lee Sunghyun smiled lazily and answered."14.01.""Thank you. Today is February 14th. Does anyone know what the rate will be on March 2nd?"Everyone murmured among themselves. Suddenly, Jun Taewon pointed at the sky and yelled. "If we knew that, why would we be here? We would be up there because we'd be gods."People again laughed at Woosung, but he continued with a brisk demeanor. "I will take that as a compliment. Because it would mean the information I am about to give you is priceless. I guarantee that on March 2nd, the exchange rate will rise to 15.30. It could be even be higher."People sneered at him. They didn't believe him. Woosung understood their distrust. Shin Semi frowned at everyone's rude reactions. "If I'm wrong, I will give up my membership." Woosung added.Lee Sunghyun looked at Woosung, his face is now filled with a obvious seriousness. "You are going too far. It seems you are not taking this membership seriously."Woosung laughed. "Haha, I am doing it because I am taking it VERY seriously. I thought money would be too obvious as a gift, and that is why I am giving you information." As Woosung spoke, more people looked at him with interest. "I have a lot of information. If you ever need it, please let me know. I am happy to trade with any of you."Shin Semi glared at Woosung, who continued."Oh and I don't mean information on exchange rates or finances. I am well-versed in many different areas.I use big data for my info, so consider me your big brother."
