88 – Kang Jin-hyeok debuts at a broadcasting station! (3)
1.
“·······.”
“·······.”
“I am not coming.”
“Yes, I will. You must have been busy.”
The production team did not show up in the 3rd meeting room until 6:30, 30 minutes after the scheduled time, putting our words that we were fortunate to arrive 20 minutes earlier.
Three times we checked to see if this conference room was the 3rd conference room, saying that we might have come to the wrong place, and once we went down to the information desk and was even asked to come to the 3rd conference room.
As a result, we were able to accurately confirm that we were in the 3rd conference room, the meeting place.
We have been waiting for the production team for 50 minutes in this empty conference room.
50 Minutes······ No, since we arrived 20 minutes early at the appointed time, we have to wait 20 minutes. But even so, it’s 30 minutes. Isn’t this a problem?
Apart from my feeling of trouble, we had to come 15 minutes early to appeal our sincerity, and even though it was 30 minutes past the appointed time, we had normal faces as if we didn’t feel the slightest annoyance.
“That, all the people who work at the broadcasting station are busy. I don’t know where or what will happen… So it’s not that strange to wait like this. It’s okay if you don’t have to look so serious, Jinhyuk oppa.”
We even tried to comfort me by saying that it was nothing to be angry about, when I seemed angry at this unreasonable treatment.
After hearing that, and seeing the conference room door still showing no signs of being opened, I was now convinced.
You really are looking at us like a dick.
I haven’t met the production team yet, but I could clearly feel their attitude towards the trainees… No, the weak, which is prevalent throughout the broadcasting industry.
This was a world of weak meat.
The world of strong self-respect, where the weak have no choice but to follow the wishes of the strong, is the broadcasting industry.
In that respect, the broadcast world was very similar to the back world I was immersed in before entering prison, and furthermore, to the wilds I lived in as a child.
Like the two different worlds I experienced in the past, this broadcasting world was a place where everything was done according to the will of the strong and the will of the powerful.
Of course, the strength that works in the wild and the underworld is different from the strength that works in this broadcast world.
After thinking that, I suddenly felt comfortable with this broadcasting station, which is a microcosm of the broadcasting industry.
Beginner’s nervousness, caused by being the first one, disappeared and I was able to know how to behave from now on.
In this world of broadcasting, we are the clear underdogs.
Without background, money, and experience, he was like a newborn duckling in the wild.
No, ducklings have mothers, but we don’t have that.
We are weaker than ducklings in the broadcasting world, like ducklings abandoned by their mothers.
So, even after waiting for 50 minutes like this, he couldn’t even frown and was just taking this situation for granted.
Of course, this does not mean that our mental victory is bad.
For us, who are still just 19-year-old trainees, that would be the best thing, and even if we get angry and protest at this situation, the only thing we can get back is loss.
But that’s our case, and in my case, I didn’t intend to win the spirit like we did.
If we pass on these rogue boaters who have exceeded the appointed time, our members will be treated with the same disregard until they become famous.
I could never see that kind of thing, so I started doing what we, the weak, can do in this world of strong self-respect, and what we have to do consistently from now on.
“Uri, the crew who asked you to come by 6:00. Could you tell me your name or phone number?”
“Yes, yes? I don’t know the name, but there is a phone number that called me the other day…”
“Really? Then, would you mind giving me your phone number?”
“Yes, wait a minute.”
At my request, we unexpectedly said, ‘What’s your phone number? Are you sure you want to call and ask? Oh no! Don’t do that! If I do that, my future path will be blocked!’ I didn’t say anything like that.
“Here. It is this number.”
Rather, he just handed over his phone number right away without asking where he needed it.
I entered the phone number we gave to my cellphone, feeling quite moved by this action that could not have been done without our trust.
“······Hot?! Now hold on! But what about the phone number all of a sudden? Sir, are you going to ask me over the phone? No! If you do, the road ahead will be blocked! What a narrow place this entertainment industry is!”
Then we slowed down a beat and showed the lines and actions we expected.
It’s not that you believe me or anything like that, you’re just blind. Reacting a beat late is so cute.
“No. Arguing over the phone for being late is something third-rate people do. I don’t. I just wanted to find out something.”
“Aha… W, isn’t that right? Thank god.”
I comforted her with her words, petting us with her expression mixed with her embarrassment and trouble in her heart.
[Brother, here is this number. This is the number of the production staff of the program that our new trainee is going to appear in, called Idol Survival. Please find out if there is anything wrong with this number or program. I’m in a hurry. Hurry.]
At the same time, I entered a text message containing the number of the production team with my hand and sent it to my brother.
“But what are you looking for, you need a phone number and a name?”
“Huh? Uh… That’s why…”
What do you say?
I can’t honestly answer, ‘They’re looking for information to dig deep into their weaknesses while they were ignoring us and ignoring us, claiming that they’re just trainees and managers of small agencies.’ It was business.
That, yes. Let’s sell the boss’s name. In the past, I was called the worst genius producer in history who blasphemed even God, so you can just say that I was trying to talk to the boss through my network.
Isn’t it the boss’s name that is meant to be used at times like this?
I thanked the boss, who should be out for an appointment by now, and opened my mouth to us who were looking at me with curious eyes.
“That’s our boss…”
Ugh!
“Oh, there is a phone call.”
“Oh, take it, it’s okay!”
“Thank you. Excuse me then.”
But I was interrupted by a sudden phone call. After thanking us for being considerate, I went to the emergency stairs to answer the call.
“Hello?”
[Hey, don’t you think it’s an information vending machine that comes out with the information you want when you poke it? Please find out something in every contact. Please do something I’m doing this!]
“Oh why? You can do it.”
[That’s right! If it’s your request, I’ll listen! But don’t do it because you’re sad! Did you eat dinner bro? Shall we eat together today? I’d like to call her. Could you give me your number? Isn’t there one thing that’s good to hear together!]
“······I’ll do all of them later, except for the last one.”
[Even if I do the last thing, I don’t need the first one. Big hum. Anyway, I recognized that number.]
“Eh, really? It’s crazy fast.”
‘As expected, Lee Seong-kyung. It was said that it was not true even though it was almost nationwide in terms of information power. It’s really fast. You have to do this much to hear the voice of the country.”
“But how did you know? Lee Seong-kyung-ho is a kang······ No, that’s her specialty. The number I sent is for the public.”
Lee Seong-gyeong-ho is a gangster-specialized security company created by those who hold a grudge against gangsters.
That’s why I’m very quick with information related to thugs, but the number I sent and the information I asked for were from the production crew, who were ordinary people.
No matter how famous Lee Seong-kyung is for his intelligence, it was really strange to find out the information of an ordinary person in less than 5 minutes.
[Oh, how did you find it so quickly? That’s thanks to you.]
“Yes? Is it because of me?”
[As you destroyed the Blue Wildbore Capital today, their ledgers, funds, and businesses were all absorbed by us. Of course, since our manpower was running out, all the places of business were destroyed, but the books and funds remain. Now, our company technicians have entered it into a computer and completely converted it into a database.]
“Ohhhhh!”
My older brother says something that seems to be true…!
[Because the ledger contains personal information such as the name and phone number of the person who borrowed the money or the people involved. I tried entering the phone number you gave me once. But it came right out. Are you a broadcast writer?]
“Yes, that’s right.”
[Okay. Then I’ll tell you the information I found, so open your ears and listen carefully.]
“Yes brother. My ears are wide open.”
[Only when it’s like this is polite. Anyway, cut out all useless things, and select only the information you want to say…]
※※※
[That’s about it. How about it, do you think it will be of some help?]
“·······Ah, yes. If I hadn’t known this, I would have been in real trouble. Thank you so much bro.”
[If you’re thankful, at least give Byul a call! He must know that you still haven’t been released from prison, but I’m f*cking scared of the storm after that…]
“I’m a bit busy right now. I will hang up!”
Dude.
I hurriedly hung up my brother’s phone and hurried to the third conference room where we were.
“I didn’t want it to be this bad!”
According to what you said, we could be in danger.
