“Is this the Hollywood Daily?”
Eugene was more interested in the media where the article was published than in the article that her lover, Sarah, had an affair with another woman.
“It’s the double privacy of Sarah Delvian who got America’s best man… … . The title is sweet.”
Not only the title, but also the article is only provocative.
Sarah Delbian doesn’t care whether it’s a man or a woman, but it’s about liking Asians, especially Asians, especially Koreans.
Borrowing the words of an acquaintance who doesn’t know who the hell it is, he even wrote an absurd anecdote that Delvian met other women without Eugene’s knowledge while he was in New York.
“It’s a magazine that mainly publishes such provocative content. I’ve already paid enough money to buy this photo. That’s probably at least half a million dollars. Maybe twice that.”
“I don’t know who it is, but I must have made a fortune with one picture.”
If you can make a million dollars by secretly filming a friend’s secret private life, it’s worth thinking about at least once.
Just like that, Eugene and Monica were chatting as if they were talking to each other, when the phone rang.
Not surprisingly, it was Sarah who was the party to the article.
– Did you see the article?
Sara asked in a very tired voice.
“Even so, I was watching it, who the hell is that girl you dated while you were in New York?”
Eugene asked with a smile.
– Don’t ask. Even if it wasn’t, because of that, I suffered a lot from Gina.
It’s funny for Eugene, but it doesn’t seem to be the case with the parties involved.
“So you are in the Cold War?”
– Jina was released quickly. Gina knows that there are very few facts in these chirashi articles. That’s not the real problem.
“Gina’s parents?”
– yes. There was a riot. It seems that Gina’s parents are very angry that they will remove Gina from the family register. But what is the family register? I didn’t know too well. It’s just that Daddy’s very angry.
“Well… … . family register? How about pedigree in English?”
There was no proper expression, so I explained it that way.
– ah! If so, that might be a problem.
Sarah, who came from an aristocratic English family, quickly agreed. It seems that he has more pride in his ancestry than in Korea, so the saying that he will be removed from the family tree seems to come true.
“You look really angry.”
– I didn’t know it was going to be like this… … . As long as someone is caught, I won’t let you go.
“Do you think you know who did it?”
– I think you know. Among the people who came that day, Tania was the only person who could do that. no. It doesn’t matter now.
Sarah’s mind seemed very complicated.
– What do you do? As a result, it caused damage to Eugene.
“What are you going to do? I’m going to have to advance the plan a bit. Is Sarah okay? Sir Arthur must have been very heartbroken.”
– Oh, what… … . I can’t help it. It was an issue that would explode at any time. I’d rather be good It is something that cannot be buried forever.
Sara seems rather regretful.
“Then, shall I talk to Gina’s parents?”
– Wait. Gina asks for a change.
Then soon the voice changed.
– What do we do? Mom and Dad are mad now. How could you do that to Eun-in?
Gina, who was so confident, almost cried and complained.
Gina’s parents are big fans of Eugene. It was more than just a fan, it was almost like a believer of one religion.
In fact, not only them, but most of the Koreans living in the United States were Eugene’s fans and were close to Shinto.
What Eugene is doing in America is probably because her popularity has boosted their self-esteem.
“Don’t worry too much. I’ll talk to you. But if I say it, you hear it.”
So, I pushed Gina and called her parents.
– Gosh! Mr. Eugene! I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault. I raised my daughter the wrong way, and I have done a great disrespect to Yujin.”
Gina’s father crouched and said with the momentum that if Eugene had been in front of him, he would have bowed out loud.
“no. I should rather apologize. In fact, I knew it from the beginning. Sarah was dating Gina, not me. The relationship between me and Sarah has always been and is just a relationship of good friends.”
– yes?
“What. Even now, Gina is a good friend. So when it comes to Gina, I guess I lied to you two. sorry.”
– no… … now… … then… … Are you really Gina and Sarah?
It seems that Gina’s parents never believed that their daughter was really in a relationship with Sarah, a woman.
He seemed to know that it was just a scandal that started as a joke.
“yes. As an ex-friend, I support Gina and Sarah’s relationship. Actually, I was going to tell you two someday, but suddenly an accident happened and I was surprised.”
– That’s right.
“The two of you must be shocked, but I hope you can understand Gina a little by looking at me. Gina and Sarah are deeply in love with each other. For me, I just want the two of them to do well.”
– What… … . If Yujin said so… … . After all, this is America… … It’s a little disconcerting, but… … It’s happened, I can’t help it… … Such a thing must happen to our child… … .
Gina’s father must have been very confused, and he cried a little at the end.
However, in the end, he ended the call by saying that he would not put too much pressure on Gina.
“I get an interview request from the media, what should I do?”
Monica, who was listening on the phone next to her, asked, still smiling.
“I’ve always been a good friend to Sarah, and I’m just blunt to the point that I’ve always supported her decisions.”
Eugene has never denied her relationship with Sarah, and in fact, he also defrauded the public.
So I couldn’t say that I had no relationship with Sarah from the beginning.
“And a member of the National Assembly from Korea wants to meet the boss.”
It seems that another request came in while solving the problem on Sarah’s side.
“member of Congress?”
“yes. When I checked with John, he said that he is a fourth-term member of the ruling party and has considerable influence within the ruling party.”
When I heard the name, it was a person that Eugene knew well. He was a big-name figure to the extent that it was not enough to say that he had a significant influence.
“okay. Then I’ll make an appointment for a suitable day in a few days.”
I always thought something like this would happen.
Perhaps it is rather too late.
As the scale of the business in Korea has grown to a certain extent, I thought that it was impossible to ignore this kind of thing forever.
However, I had no intention of forcing myself to make a connection.
Eugene has no intention of mobilizing political power in her business. It is possible to monopolize wealth without using such means anyway.
Establishing relationships with political figures in the United States was to avoid unnecessary pressure and to avoid unfair treatment.
Even more so in Korea. There is no reason to borrow the power of the politicians unless you put undue pressure on yourself.
“All right. Then we will schedule an appointment in about three days.”
Of course, Eugene is not that busy.
It is only the employees who are busy to the end, and he can pay as much as he can if he needs time.
But there was no reason to go out right away just because the other person asked me to meet.
And I had a pretty important appointment this evening.
There was still quite a bit of time until evening, but I didn’t want to put another appointment in a hurry.
‘Well, I’m going to tour New York for a few days.’
Eugene decided not to think about it any more.
In the evening, Eugene went to a restaurant in Lower Manhattan with only her bodyguards.
Shortly after arriving at the restaurant, Emily arrived along with Anais Mitchell and Rachel Chavkin.
“This is my first time to cook Korean food. I am very much looking forward to it.”
Anais Mitchell, the music director of the musical Hadestown, said while clasping her chopsticks clumsily.
“You don’t have to eat with chopsticks. I’ve tried it a few times, and the fork is also comfortable.”
Emily, who had visited Korean restaurants a few times with Eugene, said.
The three women, including Emily, enjoyed the Korean course meal, which was served one by one, with a very curious expression.
Each time a dish was served, they were amazed at the use of its unique ingredients and savored it.
Up to this time, most Korean restaurants in New York were BBQ restaurants in the form of so-called ‘Hangwan’.
It was a method of serving bulgogi and ribs only for Koreans.
Fine dining in the West rarely has so many dishes all at once.
As a result, Korean cuisine was not yet considered more than just a unique exotic dish for the upper class in New York.
However, a few years ago, Korean restaurants started to appear in New York, offering proper courses by applying Korean ingredients and cooking methods, and Korean cuisine began to catch the attention of New Yorkers.
Thanks to this restaurant, Korean cuisine has emerged as the hottest food in New York in a very short period of time.
“Course dishes like this are a culture that doesn’t exist in Korea.”
“is that so?”
Anais Mitchell inquired as he scooped up the truffle-topped bibimbap with a fork and brought it to his mouth.
“Ingredients such as caviar and truffle are rarely used in Korea. But if you ask me if it’s Korean food, I can’t help but say that Korean food is right. The spirit that permeates the cuisine is unmistakably Korean.”
If you don’t know anything else, thick beef bone broth or bibimbap mixed with various ingredients can be said to be the essence of Korean food.
“So Korean culinary culture meets Western culinary culture here in New York, creating a new culture.”
Every time a dish is served, Eugene explains each one.
Whenever I meet important people in New York, I always make reservations for this Korean fine dining.
Each time, the invited guests happily embraced this new fad, and enjoyed Eugene’s explanations.
I don’t have a particular desire to introduce Korean culture to people.
However, Eugene was properly using the nascent period of Korean Fine Dining, which came just in time.
Although he has spent decades in New York in his last life, what he knows best is Korean culture and Korean food.
Those who were invited enjoyed Korean cuisine even though it was unfamiliar.
It was thanks to the fact that the dishes were presented in a course form that was very alluring and not difficult to accept.
Above all, Eugene personally explains Korean cuisine is the highlight.
If Eugene’s name is known through the guests she brings, it will help these restaurants as well.
Eugene had no intention of denying her roots, and there was no reason to do so.
His greatest asset is, of course, a huge capital that is still growing every moment, but it is equally important to increase the number of people who support him.
And the fans who are most loyal to him are also Koreans.
As long as Eugene is the pride of the Korean people, Koreans all over the world will support him.
Eugene had no intention of rejecting such a large asset.
