God of Money

Woosung continued to make light of the conversation. "Don't worry. I know you don't mean anything by it."

Shin Semi cleared her throat. "Hmm…Hmm…"

Woosung continued slowly, "I hate sounding like an asshole, but I am doing very well nowadays. I appreciate your concern, but I know what I'm doing. What I did today was on purpose."

"On purpose?"

"It will be useful for me to have everyone here know how well I'm doing."

"Well, I guess it's nice for you to have a lot of people fawning over you."

"...But it's rare to have a genuine friend."

Shin Semi asked quickly, "Am I one of the genuine ones?"

"You are one of the few who knew me from the beginning."

"You are always so vague."

Woosung replied quickly, "Invest in KND. It will get much bigger."

Shin Semi laughed at Woosung's confidence. "Are you sure?"

"Hey, don't you remember how I predicted the election result?"

Woosung and Shin Semi both grinned.

Shin Semi realized that she always ended up smiling when she was with Woosung. Sometimes she was frustrated with him, but she knew it wasn't his fault.

Why did she feel like this around him?

Why?

Woosung shrugged his shoulders and said to her, "Let's get out of here now. People are going to think we are doing something inappropriate."

Shin Semi said with a disappointed tone, "Alright."

Choi Gichul didn't come to the meeting. After a nice conversation with Lee Sunghyun, Woosung looked at Jun Taewon, who was glaring at him.

'Why is he looking at me like that?'

Jun Taewon was looking at him like he wanted to kill him. It was even worst now after Woosung had a conversation with Shin Semi.

Jun Taewon and TK Telecom.

Woosung didn't owe him anything. He approached him.

"Haha, it looks like you have something to say to me. Am I wrong?"

Jun Taewon calmed down and asked, "Why don't you supply Blue S to TK?"

"Oh! I already told your company, it's because we are short on the products. We will be able to supply you when the factory in Gimpo is completed."

"I don't want your lie. I want your truth."

"Blue S was loved by the customers in the US first, so our priority is them. TK was the one that asked for our phone the last, so why should we take care of you before others?"

Jun Taewon hesitated at Woosung's sharp words.

Woosung added, "You're acting like I owe you anything."

"It's not like that. I just think it's good to help each other out."

"Then why did you reject Blue S at the beginning?"

"It wasn't a rejection. It just took us a long time to review your phone properly."

"Well, we are doing the same thing. We are reviewing your company properly."

Jun Taewon gritted his teeth. He had to be rational and logical.

He replied, "How is it going with Blue S2? S1 was a huge success, so you must have manufactured enough Blue S2 for everyone."

"True, but the demand is even bigger than expected so we are still short."

"TK is willing to take care of the marketing fee for Blue S2 if you supply us."

Woosung was surprised but he hid it well.

Jun Taewon continued, "No other telecommunication company will offer you a deal this good."

"The fact is Blue S2 is already well known that it doesn't require much marketing anyway. So I don't see much merit in your proposal."

"Then what do you want? Tell me."

"I want you to promise me that you won't do anything to impede me from becoming the fourth mobile carrier."

"What if I break that promise?"

"Then I will stop supplying you with the phones."

"How would you determine if I broke the promise? You might hear a rumor that's false."

"I have enough sources to figure out things like that."

Jun Taewon realized Woosung was no ordinary man. He answered thoughtfully, "I have no plans to stop you from getting into this business, but you will never know what might happen in the future. I will have to talk to my lawyers before agreeing to your terms."

"That's fine, but you better make a decision quickly."

Jun Taewon nodded gravely.

Woosung's apartment.

The building's exterior ambiance seemed old, but the inside of his apartment was modern and expensive. Woosung looked out the window at Han River and grinned.

He was now the biggest businessman at KYLO. Everyone was bowing to his wealth and success.

"And now I have over 2 million bitcoins. MOX will disintegrate into nothing. I will then hire Jung Jinsup at my new cryptocurrency dealership and get Choi Gichul involved."

Slowly, he meant to destroy them.

He had the best lawyer in the country, but he couldn't get out of it 100% free. The proof Kwak Mingu and Choi Gilak provided was too damning.

Jung Jinsup and his father were busy trying to win the case. Meanwhile, another notice was announced.

"Due to the lack of transactions, MOX will be de-listed."

Jung Hyosung shouted angrily, "Dammit! De-listing MOX? How could they!"

Jung Jinsup asked in a trembling voice, "…Father, what's happening? Why would they delist it?"

"Son, you need to be smart. Lack of transactions? That's not a good enough reason. We need to appeal it."

"T…this would mean all the stocks we hold will be worthless."

Jung Jinsup shivered in fear. Jung Hyosung grabbed his son's hands. "We can survive this. We can do it! Don't worry."

Suddenly, Jung Jinsup's phone vibrated.

Kang Woosung.

He didn't want to talk to Woosung for he was now Jung Jinsup's creditor.

Blue S2 release date.

Woosung visited TK Telecom's opening event.

He has been calling Jung Jinsup but without success.

'So he's avoiding my calls.'

Woosung could guess how he was feeling. Jung Jinsup was probably in panic due to MOX's delisting.

Woosung couldn't contain his happiness over this news. Jung Jinsup was losing everything.

Jun Taewon, who was standing next to him, murmured.

"S2 is indeed very popular."

It was not in the level of iPhone's popularity, but the line to buy Blue S2 was astounding.

Woosung replied, "It's still not enough to beat iPhone."

"I admire your ambition, but too much of it can be poisonous."

"I will be the judge of that."

Jun Taewon gritted his teeth, but quickly hid his anger and replied, "Hahaha, here comes the very first customer."

"Huh? Jonghyun?"

Park Jonghyun exclaimed at Woosung, "Y….you!"

Woosung took his hand and shook it, "Haha, nice to see you. It has been so long! How have you been?"

"I…I saw you in the newspaper, but I couldn't believe it…So it really was you! What happened last year?"

"Well, lots of things happened. By the way, what are you doing here on a workday? Don't you work?"

Park Jonghyun reddened at Woosung's joke.

"H…huh! It's…well…"

"Haha, let's get going. We can talk later."

Jun Taewon came by and offered Park Jonghyun his hand.

"Are you President Kang's friend?"

Park Jonghyun bowed deeply and replied, "Pardon? Oh, yes."

"Haha, nice to meet you. Congratulation on becoming the very first customer of Blue S2 at TK."

"Oh, thank you."

Park Jonghyun replied in confusion.

Meanwhile, Woosung tried to call Jung Jinsup again but there was no answer.
