Chapter 48

January 2006 quietly passed with the sound of the New Year's bell. During this time, because Liu Zaitian's father, Liu Yu, still lived in the United States, Liu Zaitian could only take time off from Korea to return to the U.S. As his father's last remaining relative, he had to be by his side during this important holiday.

However, another reason for his return to the U.S. was to have a conversation with Bente, the CEO of the investment company under Liu Zaitian's control, who had been placed by Liu Yu. This was to confirm the investment plan for the entire year of 2006.

At night, the lights in the second-floor study of the villa were still brightly lit. Here, Bente, who had arrived early, was reporting the current status of Angel Investments to Liu Zaitian.

Angel Investments, which Liu Zaitian now controlled, was a subsidiary of the LZ Investment Group controlled by Liu Yu before 2001. After becoming independent in April 2001, it was fully owned by Liu Zaitian.

"Boss, after streamlining and consolidating, our main shares are now concentrated in four companies: YouTube, Yahoo, Facebook, and Blizzard. We have already achieved full control over these companies. We have also started investing in cinema chains in the U.S., but we still have over a hundred billion dollars in idle funds. So, I want to ask, do you have any better ideas, Boss?"

Regarding the boss in front of him, although he was not old, Bente sometimes suspected that he could see the future due to his far-sighted vision.

Now, compared to his initial reluctance when he received Liu Yu's order, Bente had become thoroughly devoted to Liu Zaitian, even reaching a point of blind trust at times.

"Ideas? Bente, I can tell you that the ideas are endless. However, while implementing these ideas, I need to improve my living environment." Pointing to his head, Liu Zaitian's tone was filled with authority.

"I completely agree with your statement, Boss, but I hope to hear your ideas. After all, that is a talent given to you by God."

"Alright, here are my suggestions for 2006 and even beyond 2007. I believe you can provide me with the answers I want based on this information. And this is to improve my living environment." Liu Zaitian actually quite enjoyed Bente's flattery, but he thought it was best not to hear too much of it, so he placed two folders he had prepared on Bente's desk.

"OK! I can review the work arrangements later. I will discuss them with those idle young guys. What I am more interested in now is why the boss went to that small place." Shaking his head, Bente put the folder marked with the work plan at the bottom and slowly opened the other folder.

"Korean Investment Plan......"

......

At the same time, in the meeting room of the MBC TV show "Infinite Challenge."

PDs Kim Tae-ho and Je In-jae, writers Lee Hyang-suk, Hwang Ji-young, Bae Jeong-ju, Jeong Ji-hui, and Kim Tae-hee, and the head of the camera crew, VJ Choi Shin-ho, were all seated together.

"You should understand that there is no precedent for this special episode, so we can only rely on the limited information we have to improve it. When the time comes, it will be a huge challenge for both the camera crew and the writers. So, before we start shooting, I hope everyone can think more and try to identify any issues."

Listening to Kim Tae-ho's speech and looking at the explanation of the content to be shot for the next special episode, whether it was the writers or the camera crew's Choi Shin-ho, everyone felt a headache.

However, the information in the explanation was already extremely detailed, and for the moment, no one knew what to say to improve it.

Faced with this situation, Kim Tae-ho continued, "Alright! This shooting task is a challenge for me and everyone here. I hope everyone can unite and, even if there are great difficulties, we can overcome them."

His tone was entirely encouraging, to comfort the unease in everyone's hearts.

Meanwhile, Liu Zaitian was unaware of what was happening in Korea. In a pleasant mood, he spent the entire month of January 2006 in the U.S. and returned to Korea by plane at the beginning of February.

......

On February 4th, it was the third day since Liu Zaitian returned from the U.S., and it was finally time for the "Infinite Challenge" shooting.

"Hey! Hey! What do you want to do?"

In the morning, as he was about to leave, he found a group of people waiting right at the door. As soon as Liu Zaitian came out, two of them immediately stepped forward, picked him up, and carried him downstairs.

At the same time, Zheng Heng-dun, HaHa, and Lu Hong-zhe, who had just left their homes, encountered the same situation as Liu Zaitian.

"Brother Shin-ho, what are you planning to do?" Looking at VJ Choi Shin-ho, who was filming in front of him, Liu Zaitian asked directly.

Silence~~~~

"Hey, Sister Tae-hee, I like you the most. Can you tell me what's going on?" Pouting and making a cute face, he looked at writer Kim Tae-hee.

More silence~~~~

Caw~~~ Caw~~~ A flock of crows flew over Liu Zaitian's head.

"What's going on here!" A loud shout immediately attracted the attention of many passersby. In this situation, Liu Zaitian was escorted to his limousine and blindfolded.

"Zaitian, do you mind if I have a drink with you?" With a rustling sound, writer Kim Tae-hee's voice suddenly appeared in Liu Zaitian's ear.

"Of course not, Sister Tae-hee, you can have as many drinks as you want. You know, I like you the most." Although he couldn't see her, Liu Zaitian smiled flatteringly in the direction of her voice.

"Really~~~ But why did I hear that your favorite writer is Hyang-suk~~~?" Her light, playful tone made Liu Zaitian's flattery falter.

"How can that be! I have always liked you, Writer Kim Tae-hee. So, Sister Tae-hee, can you tell me what the shooting content is~~~?" Pouting and acting cute, although Liu Xing, who was driving, had already understood his boss to some extent, he still felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw Liu Zaitian's current appearance in the rearview mirror.

Thus, without Liu Zaitian's knowledge, his authority as a boss was rapidly declining.

"Alright, come closer and I'll tell you!"

OK! Success! A bright smile appeared on Liu Zaitian's face, and he quickly moved closer to Kim Tae-hee's position.

However, because of the blindfold, Liu Zaitian didn't see the mischievous smile in Kim Tae-hee's eyes.

"Zaitian, I'll tell you, the shooting content is actually...... I~~ won't~~ tell~~ you~~! O(∩_∩)O~"

"What!~~~~(>_<)~~~~"
