Chapter 87 < Networking is Important >

“Twinkle? That was 40 years ago, wasn’t it? How would I know? Maybe the CEO would know, but...”

“I thought so.”

“But why do you ask?”

“No, it’s nothing. Just forget I said anything.”

Director Park didn’t think much of it. He had too many things on his mind. He had another meeting in a few hours.

‘He’ll figure it out on his own.’

Yeon Seo didn’t even ask for his help, so it was none of his business. If he wanted to, he could order him to find out from the CEO. Taegyeom regretted saying something unnecessary and clamped his mouth shut.

He sat down at a nearby soup restaurant with the two directors. Seeing Taegyeom discreetly take out his spoon, Director Park opened his mouth.

“He said he’s taking a break for two weeks, right?”

“Yes.”

“What does he do when he’s resting?”

“I don’t really know. He seems to stay at home most of the time.”

If he had gone out, there would have been sightings of him somewhere, but there were hardly any. And he didn’t do things like throwing cash around with a money gun in the downtown area or smashing his own supercar like he used to.

He was always on edge, not knowing where he would go next, so it was better that he was a homebody. Of course, that didn’t mean he was relieved... Director Park sighed softly, having cleaned up a lot of Yeon Seo’s messes behind him.

“He should go on a trip somewhere while he’s resting.”

“He went to an island recently, remember? He didn’t seem to feel like going anywhere else. Oh, but he does go out sometimes when people like Wonsun or Park Minwoo contact him.”

“Really?”

“He has a lot of friends these days. People like Jinsuho or Park Seunghwan.”

Director Kim, who had been listening from the side, widened his eyes in surprise. Triple 30 million actor Park Seunghwan had a proven ticket power, so he had a lot of investors who were close to him. He was also a senior actor with a lot of connections in the industry, and he had helped some rookie actors who caught his eye become famous actors.

Jinsuho was also a representative male actor of his 20s and 30s, and the fees of the leading male actors of his age group were based on Jinsuho.

“Wow, they’re all big shots.”

“Yeon Seo is a big shot too.”

“He’s on a different level. To be honest, he was pretty tame for what he had. If I were him, I would have wielded my power and done whatever I wanted.”

Director Kim said, and Director Park chuckled. Taegyeom looked at them in astonishment. They were the ones who had to deal with the problems that Yeon Seo caused related to his work. He didn’t expect them to be so generous.

“I thought you guys hated him.”

“We’re being objective. Besides, he probably spread some rumors on purpose to keep them in check, right? He had such a background, and he suddenly said he wanted to be an actor. Of course they would think he was stealing their rice bowls, right?”

“Ah...”

That made sense. There were all kinds of weird rumors. Taegyeom nodded, and Director Park shook his head. ‘You’re not the main director in charge of Yeon Seo, so you don’t know,’ he muttered.

“By the way, there are still a lot of flies around him, right?”

“A ton. Sometimes I get texts or calls from strangers asking me to hook them up with Yeon Seo.”

When the rumor that Yeon Seo had a good personality spread like wildfire, he was bombarded with texts and calls from unknown people. Taegyeom shivered as he remembered that time.

He hated that kind of attention, and he thought he was not in a position to ask for favors. He was just a road manager. He ignored them all. That was why Im Seunghyun trusted him.

“There’s no one who doesn’t cling to him nearby. Don’t you know that there are a lot of people who want to be introduced to Yeon Seo among our actors these days?”

“Really? To him? They have some guts.”

“They can get a lot of benefits if they get along with investors. Even when he had a bad personality, there were some people who asked him to arrange a seat for them.”

There were some actors who asked for a role in a certain work by saying that they would bring in investors while maintaining a good relationship with them. Yeon Seo was the most tempting prey among them.

He had a lot of money and a strong background, so even the investors wanted to contact him. If Yeon Seo had a good personality, he would have had a good relationship with almost all the investors.

“Hey, Yeon Seo is not someone who can be introduced to anyone. They’ll flock to him on their own.”

“That’s true.”

“By the way, it’s amazing that the topic of this conversation is Yeon Seo.”

Director Park felt a new emotion.

Yeon Seo, who had always been aloof and had no one to interact with, was networking with people in the same industry. That was a huge improvement. And with the sightings of him and Wonsun, the hypothesis that he had left because of his agency or his family’s pressure came up. That’s why Yeon Seo’s dove image was peeled off a bit. Of course, Yeon Seo was not someone who cared about his dove image...

“By the way, what happened to that?”

“What?”

“Didn’t you say something came from Juseong?”

“Oh...”

Taegyeom raised his head at the conversation of the two directors.

“What is it?”

“I’ll go tomorrow.”

(You decided so quickly?)

“Is it a bad time?”

(No! I’m glad!)

Choi Yoo-jin answered hastily, afraid that Yoo Yeon-seo would change his mind.

(By the way, did you change your strategy?)

He wrapped the original’s stubbornness to raise his appearance fee as his acting skills improved as a ‘strategy’. What an honor. Yoo Yeon-seo smiled slightly.

“Did it spread already?”

(I have someone I know over there. Networking is important.)

“I just want to get into the works of verified people now.”

(Well, you can’t do rookie works forever.)

“Speaking of networking... Do you get along well with other investors?”

(I like that. It’s good to know the industry news.)

As I was wondering how to get lucky, I heard Choi Yujin’s voice mixed with laughter in my ear.

(Why don’t you join our group this time?)

“Me too?”

I didn’t expect to get the answer I wanted so quickly. Yoon Yeon Seo pretended not to know and replied.

(What’s wrong with you? We do the same thing.)

“I’m fine with that. It’s a bit awkward to do everything for Im Seunghyun...”

(Well, if you want to inherit my company, you have to learn how to move your body.)

“Don’t joke with me.”

(I’m serious.)

After chatting a bit about our recent situation, I hung up the phone and lay down on the bed. On the screen of my tablet pad, the results of searching his name were displayed.

-Yoon Yeon Seo’s comments have decreased a lot lately

Did he sue his agency?

└No, there was no such announcement

└He just disappeared all of a sudden

└Honestly, this is normal. What kind of post is that to confirm the absence of comments?

-Is Yoon Yeon Seo from Dorol or not?

└Here we go again with Yoon Yeon Seo’s origin story

└He’s from Juseong

-I’m so annoyed by the pseudo-romance fans who claim ownership of Yoon Yeon Seo and try to start something

Stop it. He said he was having a hard time today and had a headache. I gave him some medicine and comforted him for a long time. I feel heartbroken seeing him sleeping next to me after a long time. I realized that the world is too small to embrace our Yeon Seo. Sigh. I have no choice but to take good care of him and comfort him.

So, think of our Yeon Seo and behave yourselves. He likes me.

└ᄉᄇᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ

└ᅩᅩᅩ

└Sir, I’m sorry to hear that you had such a thingᅲᅲ I’ll make you a herbal medicineᅲᅲ

└└Thank you, brother. I hope your grandfather is healthy^^?

└What are you doing up there? Are you role-playing?

└You’re crazy. You’re crazy.

└No, our Yeon Seo is sleeping next to me. Why would you write something like this? While this is happening?

-Why are the pseudo-romance fans going crazy right now?

What? Did something happen to Yoon Yeon Seo?

└The extra actor who went into the decisive battle got a pseudo-romance with Yoon Yeon Seo

└What? Is that possible?

└He was tagging the actor and attracting attention

└He was writing like a love star with the decisive battle support and some favors

└└Is that not fabricated?

└└└He deleted the post now, but there’s a screenshot

Anyway, our ancestors live interestingly.
