"How much do we need to invest, and what percentage of shares will we get?"
"Five hundred million, five percent!"
Damn, Uncle Chanmin is really generous, "A new company has a registered capital of one billion!"
"Not that much, only five hundred million!"
Lee Seung-lim was confused again; he didn't learn math from his Chinese teacher! Five hundred million should be ten percent, right?
Looking at his brother's expression, Hong Chanmin knew he had to explain again, "Money is important in this industry, but connections are even more important. Otherwise, there's a company called LEON, backed by SKT Telecom, and it's still barely alive. If it weren't for my connections, we wouldn't even get five percent with one billion!"
Hahaha, he got a good deal again. As long as he nods, he'll be a small shareholder with three percent!
"Thank you, Uncle, cheers!"
...
Lee Seung-lim smoothly passed the retest at Sungkyunkwan University. However, Huhu is getting more and more attached to him, and he doesn't feel comfortable leaving her with others. He originally planned to take a leave of absence, but after his father's intervention and negotiations with the school, he only needs to attend exams and submit papers on time.
Moreover, if he fails the exams, he can retake them, which gives him a fallback option! However, when he got home, his father scolded him, saying he had lost face, but looking at his smiling face, it seemed he was proud of his grandson's success in front of his friends...
This was a happy event, and even happier was that Huhu could now say "Daddy." The little guy, just ten months old, could already call people. When Lee Seung-lim heard the tender "BABABA," he felt like shedding tears of joy. Having a family is truly wonderful!
Moreover, the little guy is an emotionally rich baby. Recently, he became obsessed with a song from a TV drama called "If"!
Originally, Lee Seung-lim didn't like such purely emotional songs. In his previous life, he preferred Mayday's songs, and in this life, he was more interested in bands. However, objectively speaking, this song is really good. The singer performs with a lot of emotion, but the lyrics are simple: a woman who wants to love but is afraid to. Actually, if you change the subject to mother and son, it could work too...
Lee Seung-lim even suspected that his son was a genius who understood the lyrics and missed his mother...
After leaving his parents' home in Gangnam's Cheongdam-dong, he drove with the sleeping Huhu to his home in Hongdae, north of the river. His parents didn't say much about his flashy Ferrari, only that he shouldn't break the law.
As for his sister, Lee Chaelin, she burst with enthusiasm, saying she would immediately get a driver's license and borrow the car to go out. Lee Seung-lim smiled and agreed.
Passing by Yeouido, he suddenly remembered that Huhu's diapers were almost out. There was a department store nearby, so in the bustling area of Gangnam, people saw a red, flashy Ferrari stop, and a man who looked like a bumpkin got out from the passenger side with a baby.
At that moment, countless young girls who dreamed of meeting a rich and handsome prince had their hearts broken...
Countless men felt greatly satisfied: "I may not be as rich as you, but I'm handsomer..."
Arriving at the infant section, he saw several staff members gathered together, one of them happily showing something in his hand and pointing in a direction. Lee Seung-lim looked and realized it was the diaper section.
Thus, Lee Seung-lim saw a man with a rather unattractive face, wearing glasses, but with a very pleasant and approachable demeanor, looking lost among the dazzling array of diapers.
Perhaps the man had a friendly aura. Lee Seung-lim looked down at Huhu, who was carried on his chest, and said, "Should we help that uncle?"
"BABABA!" The little guy only knew this one phrase, but Lee Seung-lim naturally thought his son was a genius speaking Chinese, "Help, help, help"...
Lee Seung-lim guessed the man was a new father, but he must be at least in his forties to have a child. However, given his appearance... it's not surprising...
Ryu Jaesuk, the national MC of South Korea, was filming MBC's variety show "Infinite Challenge" (original plot, not the original version). He was performing a task in the show: within half an hour, if anyone said, "You have a child?" he would pass.
As an excellent MC, quick thinking is essential, so he thought of a plan: just stay in the infant section, and with his fame, there would surely be curious onlookers...
However, after twenty-five minutes, he only signed autographs for the staff, and not a single customer came. Just as Ryu Jaesuk thought he would fail the task, he finally saw a customer. The man smiled and approached him, "Brother, do you need help?"
Brother... In this clearly hierarchical country, even strangers should call him "senior," especially since he is the national MC...
Ryu Jaesuk felt the task was about to fail... The post-production effects cooperatively showed a skull...
"Do you not recognize me?" Although it was embarrassing to say, Ryu Jaesuk still thought it was better to ask.
Damn, what's wrong with people these days? Yoon Eun-hye and Han Seung-yeon seemed to have asked the same question. Thinking about it, Lee Seung-lim tentatively asked, "Are you in the entertainment industry?"
"Um, yes!" It seemed he still had a good reputation. Despite being low-key, Ryu Jaesuk still had his vanity...
"I don't recognize you!" Another bomb exploded in the post-production effects...
Seeing the man's anxious expression, Lee Seung-lim thought he was struggling to choose. Since he was just helping out, he asked, "Boy or girl?"
Finally, the topic turned to children. Ryu Jaesuk felt he still had a chance of success. With his eloquence, he could definitely guide the conversation to the answer he wanted, "Boy, um... blablabla" The post-production effects showed a bunch of random letters. As the audience was confused, Lee Seung-lim continued to look down and pick out diapers suitable for Huhu, "How old?"
Suddenly, the screen turned black and white, and Ryu Jaesuk's figure became smaller and smaller, making many viewers burst out laughing...
Ryu Jaesuk felt that today's broadcast would be a complete embarrassment. A national MC being ignored... He awkwardly said, "Nine months!"
"Here, this one is perfect, just like my son's age!"
After selecting the diapers, Lee Seung-lim turned to leave, but was suddenly pulled back. Ryu Jaesuk felt the other person was deliberately messing with him, probably a plant by the production team. Given their unscrupulousness, they would definitely do something like this, "Alright, stop acting, I see through it!"
