The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 130 < He’s dead. >

“Yeon Seo is so well-behaved. Our Se-ah is causing a fuss because she can’t move.”

Yu Yeon Seo, who was sitting on Lee Heeseo’s lap, got her cheek pinched lightly by her big aunt, Yu Minjeong. She smiled bashfully, and the two aunts groaned in delight.

“Look at Eunho, he acts like he’s not interested, but he’s always near his sister.”

“What luck does oppa have, his sons are so cute?”

Yu Eunho was reading a book in the shade, far away. He must have loved his nieces since he was young. The two aunts rolled their feet and liked it.

“By the way, sister. Didn’t father ask you to work for him?”

“What can I do? I don’t know how to refuse, so I’ve been putting it off.”

“Why? You seem good at it. You have a sense of style. You helped me with my work before.”

Her small aunt, Yu Seonyoung, was about to start her fashion business at that time. Lee Heeseo was the top star of the era, not only famous for her face, but also as a fashion icon, so she helped her.

“Anyway, father is strange. He even wants to make his daughter-in-law work.”

“That’s why we grew up without any discrimination. You’re not going to do it? He said he’d give you a share.”

A share? As far as he knew, Chairman Yu was famous for not giving his assets to anyone who was not qualified. The only exception was Yu Yeon Seo. That was because he had some affection for the witness of the tragedy. Anyway, he cared for his daughter-in-law that much?

‘But why did he stay still until now?’

Did Chairman Yu not have the same thought as their brothers? He loved his daughter-in-law so much that he gave her a share, but she died like that, and he closed the case as a suicide without any doubt?

‘Did he have a vague idea of who the culprit was, or was there another reason?’

The reason why he became a cripple while chasing his wife’s case was the biggest reason, but Yu Yeon Seo, who still lacked understanding of his family, was full of questions.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Look at this. Sister doesn’t have no thoughts.”

“Actually, I lived a busy life when I was a celebrity.”

“Doesn’t it bother you? Sister is a workaholic if you look closely.”

Lee Heeseo’s face turned red, as if she was not completely uninterested. She hesitated and told her sisters-in-law what she was going to do. But the young Yu Yeon Seo got off Lee Heeseo’s lap and ran somewhere else.

‘No, where are you going when we’re talking about something important?’

Yu Yeon Seo, who was synchronizing his memory, wanted to scream in frustration, but the young Yu Yeon Seo’s footsteps did not stop. He ran back and forth between the main house and the annex, and stopped at one place.

“Can you lend me some money?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Actually, my daughter’s hospital bill…”

The conversation of the guards who were guarding the mansion at that time. Yu Yeon Seo approached them.

“Mister.”

<Random memory synchronization completed, synchronization rate 54.31%>

“Ah!”

Yu Yeon Seo gasped as he suddenly woke up to reality. How could his memory be cut off at such a crucial moment? He frowned and spat out blood as usual.

The first thing they suspected in finding the culprit who killed Lee Heeseo was the debt relationship of the servants at that time. Chairman Yu was a pretty good employer. He paid a lot of money, let them go home on time, and gave them a generous bonus. But the reason why they betrayed him was money, of course.

‘Who is it?’

If he could only know who it was, it would be the biggest clue… Yu Yeon Seo looked at the clock. He still had plenty of time until the next schedule.

He heard Beta’s worried voice in his ear.

<…Do you want to see it again?>

Baek Seojoon was startled to see a big man standing in front of his house.

“Hello, detective.”

“What are you doing here, Mr. Seunghyun?”

He was standing in front of my house, near my car. Baek Seojoon looked at him with suspicion.

“The lord sent me.”

“Did he tell you to watch what I’m doing?”

“It’s not surveillance, it’s cooperation.”

He told me to leave it alone, but he couldn’t stand it and sent someone. Baek Seojoon sighed and gestured for him to get in the car. The data that Yu Yeon Seo sent was quite useful, and he knew that the person who organized it was Lim Seunghyun.

“Where are you going?”

“First, this person’s house.”

Baek Seojoon pointed to someone in the document and started the car.

“Do you have a reason to start with this person?”

“He has a daughter, right? It seems like he spent a long time in the hospital. He must have paid a lot of medical bills, but he’s still clean, right?”

“That’s suspicious.”

They arrived at a rural village on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province and looked around.

“Does he live here?”

“It’s locked.”

After searching the area for a while, Baek Seo-jun and Lim Seung-hyun approached the elders sitting on a bench under a zelkova tree.

“Excuse me, what’s going on with that supermarket? The store is closed.”

“Happy Supermarket? Oh dear, the owner died and they’re having a funeral right now.”

“What? When?”

“Well… the day before yesterday, I think?”

Baek Seo-jun and Lim Seung-hyun looked at each other in shock.

***

The film company Goo Sang, which had stolen Lee Jung-hoon’s synopsis and was making a movie out of it, ran into trouble.

They heard the news that Lee Jung-hoon had started filming hastily and felt uneasy. When they checked, they found out that he was preparing the same work. When they contacted him later, Lee Jung-hoon denied it and said it was a different synopsis. And behind him was Yoo Yeon Seo.

“Where did he get that backing?”

He ignored their offer to renegotiate and proceeded with the filming with Yoo Yeon Seo. Seeing that, they thought, let’s see what he can do, and quickly cranked in and reached the middle of the shooting.

Yoo Yeon Seo’s production investment ‘Only’ finished filming

2022 second half’s anticipated work ‘Only’ deals with our social issues.

But they were too fast. So Dong-hyun, who was in charge of the production by stealing Lee Jung-hoon’s scenario from Goo Sang, clenched his fist.

Jang Ye-jun, who said he would do anything for money, heard the news somewhere and went berserk. If they hadn’t gotten his signature on the contract beforehand, he would have left without hesitation.

[Team leader So, can we release this?]

[If we do this, our image will be bad as a plagiarist…]

[Yeah, why did they steal the scenario and make this mess?]

And when it was revealed that Yoo Yeon Seo was involved, everyone shrank back.

[Vice president Choi was so fierce. He’s been helping Yoo Yeon Seo from the beginning of her debut.]

[That’s because he got hit by the president for competing with JSENM.]

[Anyway, don’t mess with them.]

The power is in the hands of those who give it. He had used his power well when he was an actor, and he became a director of the biggest distribution company in Korea. He was in a situation where he could be the successor, and the distribution companies, including JSENM, were colluding, so it was nothing to take down their production company’s movies from the theaters.

[And Yoo Yeon Seo seems to like that director a lot, right?]

[Director Cheon is involved. Team leader So got unlucky.]

It was a custom among them to steal the scenarios of small directors. When the people who taught him that custom backed off, the arrow turned to So Dong-hyun. He felt a pain in the back of his head and headed to the bathroom.

Yoon Ha-neul, revealed to have been involved in a past assault, drops out of drama

Lim Go-eun, who said she would sue the false accuser of school violence, in controversy over past school violence committee records

One Seven Lee Joon and Woo Hyun do not renew contracts…effectively disbanding

Seven Visual Bora, ‘abuse controversy’ reignited…victim’s recording released

‘Violence’ Woo Mi-ri, admits to past violence but apologizes, ‘criticism spreads’

Lead actor’s school violence controversy…movie ‘Appeal’ production stopped

As the school violence exposure incident occurred, the mistakes that the celebrities had made in the past came to the surface. And among the people whose names were mentioned, their lead actor was also included. Eventually, the movie production was stopped. They had invested a lot of money. And they lost the trust of the investors.

-Why is 2021 like this?

-Who will explode tomorrow?

-YHN apologizing hastily is suspicious, right? There must be more to explode, it feels like he’s trying to fix it quickly

-But do you want to hear something creepy? The people who Yoo Yeon Seo said something about in the past are all getting ruined

He’s a freaking disaster detector

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋOh crazy

└Yoo Yeon Seo needs to be re-evaluated

└MC, now that I think about it, Choi Jae-won, who said he was trash, got caught in a room salon, right? Yoon Ha-neul, who said he was vulgar, got exposed for assault?

└There was someone else before, who was it?

└Who are the celebrities that Yoo Yeon Seo cursed? Let me avoid them in advanceㅋㅋ

-Yoo Yeon Seo is being talked about, but I guess she has nothing?

She had a lot of criticism

└Yoo Yeon Seo’s school is so prestigious, there must have been nothing like that

└└No, but not only school violence, but all the past disasters are exploding, right?

└Don’t you know what happened to those who clashed with Yoo Yeon Seo? Turns out she had an amazing intuitionㄷㄷ

└By the way, I heard she went to school quietly and got along well with everyone?

└Did you see the gift Yoo Yeon Seo gave to her manager? It’s awesomeㅋㅋ If I were Joo Sung’s grandson, I would get her number right away. Nice to meet you, friend!

└└Lol, we’re friends for life from the moment we metㅋㅋ Wow, Yoo Yeon Seo is my friendㅋㅋ

└└└Who called our boss?

He narrowed his eyes as he browsed the community.

‘Isn’t that strange?’

Even though she was being reevaluated like that on the surface, there was also a ‘story’ that only the industry insiders knew.

It was true that Yoo Yeon Seo had done some minor abuse of power. And her managers had changed so often, but now they were quiet even though they had suffered in the past. Weren’t they keeping their mouths shut because they couldn’t read the current trend?

‘Wasn’t it that bad?’

No, that couldn’t be. He answered the ringing phone.

“Hey, Han Ki-ja. Did you find anything?”

(I did look, but······.)

Yoo Yeon Seo’s interference had caused a huge loss for the movie company Goo-sang. So-dong-hyun’s desk location had also changed. He was pressured to make up for the loss, and given the hint to take responsibility and resign.

I’m not going to die alone when I’m pushed to the edge like this. So-dong-hyun, who had nothing left but malice, was digging into Yoo Yeon Seo’s past with a reporter he knew.

[Will you block the screening of the movie you produced? Where should I put it in the early morning or late night in the countryside?]

‘What a jerk.’

Of course, he knew very well that he had the power to do that, so he was scared at the time, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt disgusted.

‘If I get caught, I’ll quit and move to Han Ki-ja’s company.’

Goo-sang was not a small company like Yeon-ye-jump. Would Joo Sung pressure them all the way here? And now that she was at the peak of her popularity as a ‘national bird’, there were many other reporters who were digging into Yoo Yeon Seo’s past. He just had to ride on this flow and dig up some important information. Besides······.

‘It doesn’t matter if I don’t get caught, right?’

He would find a suitable company and do some reverse viral marketing, hire some comment bots and plant some suspicious posts in the community. That would be enough to make things roll. That was a method that other companies also knew and winked at.

(She’s clean. There’s nothing to dig up.)

“What? She doesn’t go to clubs or rooms? Is that possible?”

(There must be some celebrities who don’t go.)

Han Ki-ja, was he really an entertainment reporter? He was doubtful. He had been persistently following Yoo Yeon Seo’s whereabouts lately, and he sighed in frustration.

(Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen such a clean celebrity.)

“Really, not a speck of dust?”

(No. Except for the time she went to the hospital, she only goes out for work or meets her family. That’s it.)

“Why did she go to the hospital? Could it be, drug side effects?”

Her suddenly tamed personality, her improved acting skills. There were jokes that she had taken drugs, but what if it was true?

(I don’t think that’s it······ Maybe she has a chronic illness?)

“Tsk, who knows if she used the chronic illness as an excuse and got something else done. Check it out. I’ll check it out too.”

(No, don’t touch the medical side. We’ll get in trouble.)

“What?”

It was obviously something that shouldn’t be done. But they lived by ignoring such common sense. Especially Han Ki-ja.

So-dong-hyun frowned at the unexpected passive reaction. But Han Ki-ja was adamant. He said that they should never touch that side.

(When Yoo Yeon Seo debuted as an idol, there was a famous incident in this area.)
