"I've asked people around"
Woo-Jin was driving Junho towards TV Cosmetics, currently he was contracted as 'Ruler' and not as part of NEXT but that didn't mean that the company couldn't capitalize on his popularity.
"And?"
"Lee Sungmin is the son of an NNET Board director."
"And we're just guinea pigs of his test to impress his father or something?"
"Sort of, just don't irritate him too much unless you guys want to be blacklisted or something, until you're too popular that even NNET has to concede to you, just do your best in having a cordial relationship with him."
"What about Lee Woo-Ra?"
"Lee Woo-Ra, all I heard that she's a good producer other than being a good manager, currently she's on her last legs though if this group still fails she's out of NNET according to my sources."
"Thanks Hyung."
"No problem."
"Can you give Woo-Ra's number to Jihyun?"
"Way ahead of you but who would've thought your aunt is the owner and CEO of TV Cosmetics."
"You don't even know half of family, well other than that there's Suzi."
"I told her to reserve at least one slot but I didn't know she'd already used it on Suzi."
"Why?"
"Of course it was for Choo-hyun but who am I to question a CEO, speaking of CEO's JYP probed me on giving your VTube account for the company to manage."
"No don't give it to him, as far as concessions goes I'll just put the Pegasus Logo's but giving the channel is a no to itself."
"Good choice, I've received an offer from VTube, they want to verify your platform."
"If it's from VTube and its beneficial then accept it."
Woo-Jin nodded and then stopped.
"Suzi!"
Junho yelled from the car as Suzi was waiting on a bench.
"Ah!"
She immediately heard him and stood up.
"Get in."
-
"This building is huge."
Suzi said as she entered TV cosmetics building, Woo-Jin followed after them like a nanny.
"You must be Ms. Bae Suzi and Mr. Park Junho."
An attendant came to them as they were greeted with a smile.
"We are."
"Please come with me, the President would like to meet the both of you first before you go the studio."
"This place has a studio?"
"Yes, we also have different facilities such as a spa or pool."
The attendant showed them the way until they reached the third floor.
"Hey"
"What is it?"
The group followed after the attendant while they received looks from various people in the office.
"Don't you think it's weird that her office is on the third floor?"
"It's practical, I mean if there would be emergencies she'd be safe compared to someone on the tenth floor."
"I guess."
They soon arrived, they saw a beautiful woman who was looking at the desktop.
"President."
"You can go back now oh prepare tea as well, and the three of you take a seat there"
Myung Ari then sat down in front of them, she gave off the vibe that she was serious and that any wrong word would be the end of you.
"You must be Lee Woo-Jin, I must say snooping around about my family must have been tough"
"Ye-Yes!"
Even Woo-Jin was now afraid of her as soon as she mentioned about him snooping.
"It must have been hard for you, well not that it matters I hope it doesn't happen again or else."
"I- understand!"
"I really won't let you off."
Woo-Jin felt sweats forming around his back, Suzi was now nervous meanwhile Junho just drank the tea that had arrived.
"Again, it's nice to meet the two of you, you must be Ms Bae Suzi."
"Ye-Yes!"
"I'd like to personally thank you for accepting our offer."
"The pleasure is mine"
Suzi smiled as she tried to calm herself down.
"Let's move on, I'm launching a new beauty cream, personally I like it but realistically it would just end up as being the third or even fifth option among all beauty creams in the market."
"With that said even though the investment isn't that big it isn't small either so I'm taking a risk here with making you two the faces of this product, if all goes well I won't need to say anything else and welcome you to the family."
"But if things don't work out, well I'm just gonna accept it and give you guys another chance."
Myung Ari said as she looked at the faces of the two nervous people and her nephew who looked like he didn't care.
"Do I make myself clear Junho?"
"Yeah."
"Good, can the two of you go out for awhile? Hyeri is waiting outside she'll take the two of you to the studio."
Bae Suzi and Woo-Jin nodded, they bowed and left immediately leaving Junho alone with his Aunt.
"Explain to me who is this?"
Ari then showed Junho a picture of Choo-hyun, needless to say Junho was shocked.
"That's my."
"Figures, well are you two still together?"
"Not as of the moment."
"Do you want to know why Suzi got the offer instead of her?"
"Because she still hasn't debuted yet and it would create more problems than solutions as well as you guys really need a female model now."
"Correct, at least you're not dumb."
"Hey!"
"Congratulations anyway on making it to the industry I hope you didn't accept any crazy favours to get to where you are now."
"I didn't and never will."
"There's always Acting and Modelling to fall back on so you don't have to be scared of anything."
"I know."
"Now That's out of the way give you aunt a hug"
Junho smiled and did as he was ordered to, out of all his relatives aside from his family Ari was his personal favourite as she would always give him what he wanted when he was young.
"There there you've become a handsome boy Junho."
"It's thanks to your products."
"Bah! I'm not giving you anything else you have to work for it."
"Ah right I had a dream last night!"
"What dream?"
Jumho then gave a Ari a piece of paper.
"What the hell is this? Aren't this supposed to be ingredients for a lotion?"
"Yeah, there's also a set of specific instructions on the bottom of the page on how to make it"
"I can see that, so you're giving this to me? A newbie teaching someone who has been on the industry for years? Doesn't it sound weird like I'm one of those novels I've been reading?"
"Then you know how it goes"
"What's your excuse this time, some old man that you helped gave you a recipe or was it you got it from your dreams?"
"Neither I researched it."
Ari looked at Junho from head to toe, in reality Junho bought it from the system and new his Aunt was an avid reader as well.
"Alright, I know how smart you are so I'm going to give this a try at home."
"50-50?"
"Oh getting cocky here I see, well if that's what you want okay, now get out of here and go to your shoot."
Junho smiled and waved goodbye he then went to where Suzi and Woo-Jin were.
"Aigoo, kids these days pulling things out from their asses."
Ari sat down as she researched the ingredients listed down.
