Chapter 70

After the six people left the stage, they found an empty waiting room to rest. At this moment, Jin Ae-suk looked at the few people sitting beside him, who were making comments, and helplessly called out.

Jin Ae-nam, on the other hand, was very calm, smiling and saying, "Well, it's just a cut, anyway, I didn't expect much. It was pretty cool to sing here at the TV station!"

Lee Hwan-jo shrugged and smiled, "Alright, you all worked hard. From today on, you can be free. You two can do whatever you want, but before that, finish the tasks assigned to you. As for Jung Jun-young, you can sleep however you want. As for Bambam and Ji-hyun... Well, if you have something to do, you can leave first. I still need to wait a bit!"

"Hey, hey, hey!!! What do you mean? You only called our names and didn't say anything!" Bambam glared, somewhat dissatisfied.

Lee Ji-hyun also gave Lee Hwan-jo a rare glare of dissatisfaction.

Lee Hwan-jo, in a good mood, teased the two a little, then smiled and said, "You two, just keep working hard. Try to debut this year. I don't think there will be any problems. If there's a chance, I'll write songs for you. Also, tell your bald president that I'll come to see him when I have time!"

Debut!

At the mention of this, Bambam and Lee Ji-hyun were both very happy and grateful to Lee Hwan-jo. It was because of him that they got the president's promise.

However, Bambam couldn't bring herself to say thanks, and Lee Ji-hyun had already said it, so the two didn't say much, just saying in unison, "Thank you!"

But Bambam's voice was a bit softer.

"Blue Baby, you need to work hard and keep being cute. Aim to be the strongest contrast cuteness in Korea!" Lee Hwan-jo said, patting Bambam's head with a smile.

Bambam was taken aback, then punched Lee Hwan-jo's shoulder, her face red, and shouted, "Bastard, what contrast cuteness? I'm already 23! I'm almost a mature woman, and don't touch my head!"

The six of them laughed and played for a while. Since Lee Hwan-jo still needed to wait and talk to Kang Ho-dong, he let the other five leave. Jung Jun-young and the Jin brothers were restless people; one couldn't sit still without games, and the other two didn't want to waste time sitting there.

As for Bambam and Lee Ji-hyun, although they wanted to say they would stay with him, neither of them said it. After they both left, Lee Hwan-jo was left alone in the room.

"Phew!"

Lee Hwan-jo, with a smile on his face, suddenly fell onto the sofa, lying straight, and took a deep breath. The smile on his face became much more subdued.

Although he had achieved his goal, it was tiring. Lee Hwan-jo wasn't stupid and didn't have the resolve to start from the bottom.

He did all this to ultimately achieve the 'divine status' in his plan. In simple terms, he wanted to truly have a place in the music industry. With a status, everything he did in the future would be much easier. His ultimate goal wasn't just to be a music producer.

Even Kang Ho-dong was just a part of his plan.

In fact, the final plan was quite simple: to give the bizarre yet popular song 'Steel Door Tear' to the right person to sing.

And it had to be entirely his creation, with no one sharing the glory. Although giving it to the original singer or other artists was a good choice, the best candidates were all very musical. If he did this while still unknown, his glory would be greatly diminished.

So, Lee Hwan-jo was working hard to find opportunities for himself. Although the success of the song in his memory didn't guarantee success now, with proper management, it wasn't impossible.

In reality, writing dozens of good songs wasn't as fast as one hit song. Lee Hwan-jo's ultimate goal was to replicate the success in his memory, though it was difficult, he had some confidence.

If he really failed, the steps he had taken would still be a small achievement. Even if he didn't reach the 'divine status,' he would still gain something.

However, it was still a bit early to talk about it. After this plan was completed, Lee Hwan-jo would start planning for the 'divine status.'

Although it was tiring, Lee Hwan-jo unexpectedly found it... interesting. He hadn't felt the sense of accomplishment after completing a task in a long time. Doing things step by step through hard work was tiring but also very interesting.

Lying on the sofa, Lee Hwan-jo seriously considered the future... starting with music, then...

"Where are you, what are you doing, how busy are you

I know you might be intentionally not answering..."

The phone suddenly rang. Lee Hwan-jo picked it up, looking at the unfamiliar number, and answered curiously.

"Hello!"

"Are you... Super Handsome Guy?"

"Cough, cough~~~"

Lee Hwan-jo sat up, the woman's voice on the phone left him speechless, but then he suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Are you Ms. Han Chae-young?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end before a voice came, "Yes, I think it would be more convenient to discuss this in person. Do you have time now?"

Lee Hwan-jo's breathing became a bit heavier. He didn't expect Han Chae-young to actually contact him. But thinking about it, it would be strange if she didn't react after receiving such photos.

Actually, Choi Dong-gun should be grateful that his wife is Han Chae-young. Otherwise, he might have ended up like the other high-level executives in the Choi family business.

When Baek Hyang-yong helped investigate, there was no lack of material on Choi Dong-gun, and he didn't set a trap for him as Lee Hwan-jo had said.

Fortunately... on the second day of the investigation, the subordinate responsible for Choi Dong-gun took many photos. This wasn't the end; after the Choi family business was embroiled in a scandal, Choi Dong-gun tried to find people to help solve the problem, and more photos were taken.

Originally, Lee Hwan-jo planned to give all the photos to the newspaper without leaving any traces. But thinking of the former actress Han Chae-young, he changed his mind. He had the more interesting and special photos sent to her personal email and also got her phone number, sending her a text message to check her email.

The old bull, out of boredom, signed the sender as 'Super Handsome Guy' and included Lee Hwan-jo's phone number, or rather, a new number.

The phone that just rang was the one Lee Hwan-jo had specially prepared to contact Han Chae-young, the old bull, and Baek Hyang-yong.

"I still have some things to do now, but if we meet in the evening, it's fine. Of course, we can also meet tomorrow in the morning or afternoon!" Lee Hwan-jo replied with a smile.

"Then let's meet tomorrow afternoon. I'll send you the time and place to your phone!"

"Beep, beep!"

Lee Hwan-jo looked at the disconnected call, slightly surprised. After a while, he squinted and smiled, "Unexpectedly, she has a temper~!"

Shaking his head, Lee Hwan-jo thought carefully. This time, his actions were really a bit unscrupulous, but thinking about it, this unscrupulousness was only towards Choi Dong-gun. Compared to Han Chae-young, he was probably an angel?

But it didn't matter. The Lee Hwan-jo now was no longer the righteous kid he used to be. If he was once a bright and warm sun, he was now a... black sun.

And his policy of never being lenient with enemies, Lee Hwan-jo had always adhered to. As for Choi Dong-gun's fate, it would likely be in Han Chae-young's hands.
