“… … .”
My head is full. The body droops like water-soaked cotton.
It seems that my physical condition is getting worse day by day. In fact, it’s like going to two companies, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
‘Where is this anyway? Why am I here?’
I look around, but I don’t see a single street light. I forcibly raised my eyes and looked further afield, only then did I see a lingering shadow.
Something is strange. There is a darker shadow than that in the complete darkness.
‘Aren’t shadows created only when there is light in the first place?’
Even as I questioned it, my legs were unconsciously moving towards the shadow.
When there are three or four steps left until the shadow, he turns his head towards me.
“… … .”
I was about to scream. No, I screamed, but it didn’t come out.
That’s also true, because the identity of the shadow was in the form of manager Baek Seung-tae.
-Shin Woo-hyuk, you little bastard! I became this way because of you! only you… … If only you had been quiet, I would have lived with a smile!
There is no such thing as bullsh*t. You want me to be framed for embezzlement again? why me? Who do you like?
When he raised his middle finger, the shadow resembling Baek Seung-tae faded for a moment and then transformed into a nervous middle-aged man.
This time, the shadow was Park Min-gyo.
– My plan would have been perfect, but why… … why… … .
The shadow resembling Park Min-gyo doesn’t even look at me, it just keeps staring at the screen of my phone.
‘Are you looking at the coin market?’
The shadow faded again, then appeared in a different form. This time, it is Jeong Ji-seung, the former CEO of Cy Club.
– Once Psion was completed, Cy Club could be resurrected. I was on the verge of reviving Cy Club with my own hands. Even if you didn’t show up then… … .
Don’t be funny. I took it and at least saved it like this.
If not, Cy Club would only repeat failures, and in the end, the service would end and only the name would be sold here and there.
‘If I see people like this keep appearing, am I dreaming of a dog?’
The shadow has changed again. Maybe it’s because I’m used to it now, so I don’t think I’ll be surprised if someone’s shadow comes out.
-There was a project that I worked on for a really long time. Have you heard of the representative?
This time, the shadow was unexpectedly Lee So-young. Instead of her usual smile, she had an expressionless face like a mask.
-Nimble Coin… … It’s a masterpiece of my life. However, the project has no longer seen the light of day.
didn’t want to hear So I covered my ears with both hands.
But it was useless.
– Did the representative take all of my share?
Her voice full of resentment penetrates my ears.
I plugged my ears harder and desperately. Then he squeezed the strength from the tips of his toes and screamed.
“Wow!”
As the scream that lingered in the lungs bursts out, the view is clear.
“Coke. Coke. Coke. Kuk… … Kuck.”
I had to catch my breath for a long time because I exhaled in a hurry for a moment.
“Why suddenly? Have you ever been pressed with scissors?”
A startled voice came from the side. In the driver’s seat, Park Tae-sik was looking at me with worried eyes.
“Oh, no… … nothing.”
everything was a dream A dream my brain created against my will.
In fact, this is not the first time such a dream has occurred. I used to have similar dreams whenever I could forget, but this time, it seems that a rather heavy guy came in.
Sigh.
Park Tae-shik parks the car on the side of the road and checks my condition.
“Hey, Shin Woo-hyuk. Are you really okay?”
“Stop making a fuss and start the car. just… … I just had a nightmare.”
“Honey, look at your condition. Do I look like I don’t make a fuss?”
I stole my forehead, and I’m sweating. The side of the back that was in contact with the seat was damp as if water had been sprayed on it.
“Let’s go to the hospital. I’ll be there in 10 minutes.”
“Not quite like that. It’s because I’m a little tired, so I’ll be fine if I rest.”
“Then it’s fortunate… … .”
Park Tae-sik examines my face again and again.
Looking at that serious expression, it seems that if my condition is serious, I will force myself to take it to the hospital.
“Because it’s really okay.”
“Because it doesn’t look all right? Don’t be stubborn and reduce your work even a little bit. It’s to the point where I feel sorry for everyone watching from the side.”
I want to do that too, but would I be doing this if it was easy?
At least, Park Tae-sik was in charge of the WHTS Company’s management and external activities, so it survived even this way.
“Woohyuk, it’s not like this, can’t we just report it?”
“What are you reporting?”
“It’s about embezzlement of your company. All the company barns must be empty already, so you just have to report them and hit them to get them in.”
“no. As I said before, embezzlement crimes in Korea are always probationary even if they are brought to court.”
This is not speculation, but statistics prove that the higher the crime amount, the more probationary sentences.
“Then what are you thinking?”
“I have to shake them off until they look like beggars and then catch them. If that happens, the subordinates will give up, and the court will give a normal sentence.”
I robbed Park Min-gyo’s embezzlement account on two occasions, but it is still unclear where he stole the washed cash, gold bars, and artwork.
Baek Seung-tae was the only person he knew, but he lost contact with the smuggling broker after he connected them.
‘When Baek Seung-tae starts moving in earnest, Park Min-gyo can’t stay still. They will definitely try to move the object to another place.’
Unlike real accounts or virtual wallets, movements are bound to be revealed.
So if you aim well at that time, you will be able to scrape out all the remaining bone marrow of Park Min-gyo.

KBC’s signature entertainment program ‘Unconditional Challenge’ was already celebrating its 10th year of airing.
It did not simply endure for 10 years, but aired for 10 years while maintaining the highest popularity, so the unconditional challenge was a program worthy of the name of national entertainment.
However, those 10 years were approaching as a great burden to the unconditional challenge production team.
“Do you have any fresh ideas? Come up with some fresh ideas instead of the ones you used before.”
There is silence in the conference room where the challenge production team is gathered. The only one who was talking was a man tearing his hair out from earlier.
“Baby, please. Even small things are good, so just come up with an idea. I can fill in all the details. So give me idea!”
The one who screams whale whale is Shim Jong-mo, the main PD of Reckless Challenge.
His self-torture show was repeated at every planning meeting, so no one was surprised anymore.
“No, I wonder if the plan will be completed before recording or not. Are you going to take a break again? It’s not.”
Then, the youngest writer who joined the company a while ago cautiously opens his mouth.
“PD Shim, since you did a domestic tour this time, how about going on an overseas tour with a linked episode… … .”
Others sitting next to the youngest writer shake their heads. It was because the repertoire that followed was clearly visible.
“Overseas? Yes, overseas is good. Good mountains and good water overseas. by the way. Do you know how many times the production cost goes up the moment you get on the plane?”
“ah… … .”
“Broadcasting only proceeds when the balance is right, right? Production costs don’t come from digging the ground. Well, I don’t know if the ratings come out well.”
Shim Jong-mo looks back at the script team banging on their laptops in the corner.
“How many ratings did this domestic tour episode get?”
“It averaged 12%.”
“12% is not even our average. How many times do you burn production costs just to get that grade? This is a cut from above even if I push. cut.”
“sorry.”
“no. What do you have to be sorry for? I just complained because our situation seemed like a beggar. under… … Mr., other companies provide full support, but what is this for us? I’ll be sick.”
Even after that, Shim Jong-mo squeezes the team members to come up with ideas. However, how easily can new ideas come out of a program that has been aired for 10 years?
Time passes without meaning, and in the end, the story flows as it always does.
“What is the episode with the highest ratings this year?”
“The Sunday is a singer episode aired earlier this year exceeded 25%. And the Highway Song Festival was 22%.”
“Are there any other episodes besides the music festival?”
“Other than that, I’ve never gone over 20% in an episode.”
The song festival episode is a big hit if you say you did it, but it was a card that was burdensome to take out again because it’s already been used twice this year.
Just when the third sigh comes out of Shim Jong-mo’s mouth, someone gives an opinion.
“Let’s go to the music festival one more time.”
All eyes turn to the brave speaker.
“You did it twice this year, are you going to do it again?”
“Is there any reason why you can’t? If the ratings are good, isn’t that what viewers want?”
It is logically correct, but it is also not suitable for the unconditional challenge that advocates comprehensive entertainment.
“Of course, if you follow the existing format as it is, you will be criticized. That’s why I’m just giving you a little bit of variation.”
“how?”
“There are so many people listening to Cy Club songs these days. There’s even a saying that even if Psy isn’t playing, they log on just to play the song.”
The existing invitation song festivals were mainly composed of songs from the late 1990s.
But Cy Club songs are from the late 2000s.
It was not a bad choice because the timing was clearly different, so the target would be different, and the format would change accordingly.
“I spoke to the person in charge of that a while ago. We are planning a big concert this time.”
“concert? How big is it?”
“Since you said you made a lot of money with virtual currency, would you not spend a billion even if you couldn’t?”
If a concert was already being planned, an episode could be pulled out just by looking at the members’ faces.
It would be an idiot to miss an opportunity like this.
“Schedule a meeting with the person in charge. If possible, encourage them to plan the concert together from the beginning.”
Shim Jong-mo poured out all he had to say and then got up from his seat.
“Where are you going?”
“To the director’s office.”
As this episode is a way of collaborating with a third party, it was formal, but it was necessary to obtain permission in advance.
“Are you going to do a song festival again?”
The entertainment director’s reaction was as expected. It was only natural that they had already spent a lot of money on production for two music festivals.
Shim Jong-mo quickly gives an explanation before he can add anything more.
“This time, we will do it in a way that costs almost nothing to produce. Because it will be a way for us to join the concert that the company is already preparing for.”
“Hey, Shim Jong-mo. Didn’t you say that the production cost is not much? But how much did you spend?”
“Ah, Chief. This time it’s real. If done well, they might even pay for our production costs.”
“Where is the business located? Did you get a watering can?”
“You must have heard of it, too. It’s called Cy Club, and it’s a company that’s doing well with acorn coins these days.”
Momentarily, the director’s expression distorted like an empty can.
“You can’t go there.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I know it won’t work if it doesn’t work.”
The director waved his hand to show that he did not want to say more, but Shim Jong-mo did not give up.
“Chief, it’s not common to have a chance to eat production like this. If you roll well, you just draw 5 times.”
“Brother-in-law. Am I going to say no to you?”
“I would like to know why.”
When Shim Jong-mo insists, he gives an answer as if he can’t help it.
“The superiors are watching over there.”
“Are you a politician?”
The director nods and holds his finger up. The top of the political world, that meant the Blue House.
“If you know, please give up this matter calmly. If you don’t want to get caught up in the eyes of the superiors by getting involved with them.”
