The Famous Millionaire Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Chapter 232

“What? Whistleblow it?

Sungmin was embarra.s.sed. The reason he called Hyunwoo was to work together for common prosperity, not ruin.

But Hyunwoo was serious about it.

“Sooner or later Korea Broadcasting will make a special program on KOVE Blue. You can disclose KOVE DREAM’s problems one by one then. Just try to gather all the companies who are put at a disadvantage and vent your complaints all at once.”

“What are you talking about?”

Sungmin was so scared that he couldn’t continue.

“What I mean is..” Hyunwoo said in a calm voice as if cutting off Sungmin’s words. “You don’t have to be surprised. I’m just admitting what’s happening there. As you pointed out, KOVE DREAM has limited ability in judging the technical prowess of other companies.”

“Ah, yeah…” Sungmin stammered as if he still had lingering anxiety.

“You don’t have to keep complaining like that. KOVE DREAM needs to enhance their technical skills to judge others. That’s why I’m asking you to whistleblow on KOVE DREAM. Tell Korean Broadcasting about the clear limits of KOVE DREAM.”

“But I might suffer…”

“Don’t worry. You won’t suffer any disadvantages.”

“Are you sure?”

“As president of KOVE DREAM, I’ll promise you. Your whistleblowing will be of great help to us. When the special program on KOVE Blue is on air, those companies who suffered a disadvantage because of KOVE DREAM’s incompetence can join it.”

Hyunwoo gave him rea.s.surance on that.

Only the did Sungmin understand Hyunwoo’s sincerity.

“Got it. Let me go ahead and whistleblow as I trust you. I expect you to keep your promise.”

“Of course!”

After the call, Hyunwoo clenched his fist. He felt he instantly solved a problem that had him agonizing for several days.

After some thinking, he called Kw.a.n.gsu of Real Film,

“Brother, I’ve discovered one! I mean, the concept of KOVE DREAM Blue.”

“Really? What is it?”

“Disclosing the obstinacy and incompetence of KOVE DREAM.”

“What the heck?”

Kw.a.n.gsu stopped for a moment. Like Sungmin, Kw.a.n.gsu initially thought Hyunwoo’s remarks were outrageous.

But Hyunwoo was confident that he could achieve everything with that concept.

“There are several companies within KOVE DREAM Blue that are better than KOVE DREAM companies. Still KOVE DREAM does not recognize their technical skills. We’re going to whistleblow on that.”

“What are you talking about? I just don’t get it.”

Hyunwoo’s point was clear and simple.

KOVE DREAM only accepts those companies whose technical prowess has been proved. As a result, no matter how great of technology a company had, it couldn’t join KOVE DREAM unless KOVE DREAM could prove it. So, those companies with excellent technology can’t join KOVE DREAM.

And this is what’s happening to some Korean companies in Vietnam now.

In the special program, Hyunwoo would have to show the viewers the reality behind the scenes. The reality was that KOVE DREAM’s limits were inevitable and that KOVE DREAM wanted to achieve its own goal despite harsh criticism of its obstinacy.

“If KOVE DREAM had not been stubborn, it would have accepted many more companies by now. And most of them were equipped with excellent technical prowess, but there is a possibility that even one or two bad companies could join it. That’s why KOVE DREAM strengthened its application criteria to rule out such a possibility with such obstinacy,” said Hyunwoo.

Only then did Kw.a.n.gsu understand what he was trying to say.

“Though you are saying ‘whistleblow,’ the conclusion of the program is that these KOVE DREAM companies are quite trustworthy.”

“Yes, that’s right. And one more thing.”

The special program this time features the companies of KOVE Blue. In particular, those companies like Dynamic that suffered a disadvantage because of KOVE’s strict criteria despite their excellent technical prowess.

If the special program publicized such companies, people would have a different perception of the KOVE Blue.

Kw.a.n.gsu suddenly cut in,

“Ah! That means KOVE Blue is as good as KOVE DREAM, right?”

“Yes. Even KOVE Blue has its own strict criteria to accept its members. And there can be companies of KOVE Blue that have better technology than KOVE DREAM members.”

“Okay, now I completely understand what you mean, brother. Very good concept. Let me set up a shooting plan.”

Several days later, Hyunwoo drove to Seoul, stopping at an old mid-sized apartment unit located in Youngdungpo, Seoul.

Hyunwoo went in.

“Welcome,” said Minhye, greeting him gladly. Unlike her image, she was putting on an ap.r.o.n.

Yonggu came out to the porch and took his gift.

“You got here earlier than I expected. As you’re terribly busy, I thought you’d be late. How come you bought a gift like this, man?”

“How can I be late on a day like this? Oh, everybody already arrived?”

There was a total of seven who got ahead of Hyunwoo. There were three friends of Yonggu’s, and four of Minhye’s, including Hyunwoo. They were all unmarried.

Hyunwoo giggled at that.

“Wow, are you sure this is a housewarming gathering? Looks like a blind date.”

With a bright smile, Yonggu answered wittingly, “Have you heard about housewarming dates? Hahaha.”

But the atmosphere was quiet. As they just got here, they felt awkward among each other.

Suddenly, there was a big noise from the ceiling. It seemed that there were naughty children upstairs.

Yonggu and Minhye frowned. They were pretty stressed by the floor noise.

“They’re making a lot of noise again,” said Yonggu.

“Phew, it looks like we chose a wrong apartment unit. How can they make a noise like that every day? I really can’t stand it anymore,” said Minhye as if she was pretty annoyed.

“Can I go upstairs and take issue?” said Yonggu. Minhye seemed to support him.

But Hyunwoo giggled at that, “Do you think you can solve that?”

“How can I solve it then? You want me to put up with that forever?”

Hyunwoo felt he had to give him a piece of advice.

“Hey, put some cake on a plate. Let me make them quiet.”

“How? Do you think they will be quiet because of one piece of cake?”

“Just put it there.”

“Follow me. You can come with me, Minhye. It won’t take long.”

Hyunwoo took them upstairs, who were wearing a curious look.

When Hyunwoo pressed the doorbell, there came out a young and deep voice of a man.

“Who is it?”

“I live downstairs. Can I say h.e.l.lo to you?”

The door opened, and there was a man standing before them, who seemed to be several years older than Hyunwoo. His rough image suggested he was a strong build.

A plump woman and her two children, brother and sister, also looked at Hyunwoo’s entourage with a curious look.

In particular, that man seemed very wary. He seemed to feel they were here to protest against the noise of his children.

Hyunwoo presented the cake and said, “We just moved in several days ago. I’d like to say h.e.l.lo because we’re neighbors now.”

Then that man’s face brightened, and he had his children say h.e.l.lo to him.

“Oh, I see. Nice to meet you. Hey, guys, come out and say h.e.l.lo.”

Hyunwoo stroked the children and gave them paper bags.

“You look cute. These are my gifts for you.”

They were wary of him initially, but they reached out their hands at the gifts before they knew.

“You can open it now.”

“Wow, it’s Kenny!”

“So cute. Thanks!”

They were hopping around the living room out of joy.

It was natural that they showed such a reaction because the gift Hyunwoo brought was a doll of a Garbage World character. It was a souvenir specially made for those customers visiting Ani & Funny, which was not for sale and never offered to anybody.

Hyunwoo emphasized that point, “This is the first test product that came out today. You’re the first to receive this gift.”

“Wow! Thanks so much.”

Their parents were also so happy that they asked Hyunwoo’s entourage to come in.

“Please come in for a minute. Let me serve you some persimmon punch that my mother has sent me.”

“Oh, no. We have to go back as our friends are waiting downstairs.”

“It won’t take much time for you to have a cup of persimmon punch. Please!”

That man held Hyunwoo’s hand and led him into the living room.

There was a reason why his children loved the doll so much. They were great fans of Garbage World.

The atmosphere of their room showed that. It looked like one scene of Garbage World. Not only character dolls of Garbage World but also their desks, beds, chairs, and furniture were all made from the design of Garbage World.

“Oh, I love this room. Your children must like it very much.”

“You bet! You never know how much I spent for it all. Still I think I spent my money well when I looked at my children so happy.”

Hyunwoo’s entourage took a quick look at their room and chatted over persimmon punch. And then Hyunwoo cautiously opened his mouth, “In fact, we report to work early in the morning and come back late at night. As you know, these are tough times for all of us.”

“Yea, you’re right. You must be very tired. I guess you must have been all the more tired because of my children. Sorry.”

“No, children are like that. You can’t have complete control over them even if you want. All I want is just to control them after 10 pm. I would appreciate it if you could do so.”

“Sure, will do. Thanks for understanding.”

“Let them play as much as they can until then. It’s best to raise them in a liberal atmosphere, I hear.”

After cheerful conversation like that, they came out of the room.

After he came down to his unit, Yonggu asked, “Do you think the children can be quiet?”

“If you do this way, it is you, not the children that have to change, dude.”

“What the heck are you talking about?”

“As for the same level of noise, a stranger’s noise is 100, it seems like 80 when made by someone I know. If your friend makes noise, it is down to 50, and when someone you love makes noise, it’s zero. So, try to love the children upstairs. Sometimes, visit them with gifts. You will feel much more relaxed.”
