[Conference Room 3]

Come into the conference room.

Jeong Yeong-yoon quickly brought out canned coffee and water and placed them in front of Choi Yun-ha.

It was a movement that was literally like lightning.

As expected, he’s the youngest in the company.

“Hmm.”

Park Jae-ho, who drank it as if it were a given, opened his mouth leisurely.

“Well. To be honest, if you look at performance and the ability to ask for good works, Team 1 is much better than us, right?”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Well, it’s true that they use whatever means necessary.”

Listening to Park Jae-ho, it seemed natural that Team 1’s performance was high.

Even if I were in the position of someone who went to sign a contract.

I felt like I would sign a contract with someone who could give me just a little bit more.

“But I think that for someone who will be working for a long time, personality is more important than performance.”

“Hmm.”

Park Jae-ho scratched his cheek at my words.

“We don’t really have good personalities either… … .”

“The very act of saying something like that shows that you have a minimum amount of conscience. More than that.”

I grabbed Choi Yoon-ha’s waist and pulled her towards me.

“Oh my. Sister.”

It’s become as if it’s so obvious that I came here today to sign a contract.

As I told Team Leader 1 earlier.

I came here today to talk.

“The reason I came today is not to sign a contract. It’s to sign Yoon-ha, who is here.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

At my words, Park Jae-ho scratched his head again.

“Eeeeum.”

“Eeeek!”

As expected from the youngest, Jeong Yeong-yoon has good reactions.

The other team members pretended not to hear me, but looked dumbfounded.

[Well, that’s understandable.]

[You came all of a sudden and everyone was talking about the owner. Then, out of nowhere, you brought up Choi Yoon-ha.]

“Hmm. This is really difficult. Well, if that was the case, then 1 team would have been impossible in the first place.”

“Yes. What.”

Team Leader Gu Ju-won, who obviously had a bad personality, would never have listened to me like that no matter what happened to me.

In a way, since they are a two-team team, they haven’t been kicked out yet.

“Can I be frank?”

“Okay.”

“Honestly, if you don’t know, it’s not easy to give a contract to a woman there who has no experience or anything to show for it. Isn’t it that easy to write a contract? You have to report to your superiors. There’s a procedure.”

I know that too.

If there’s one thing my sisters said in common, it’s this.

When writing a contract, no matter how trustworthy the other party is, check it carefully at least three times before stamping it.

Plus, there’s a standard contract floating around the internet.

Definitely compare it to that.

“Yoon Ha here is definitely talented.”

no.

Honestly, that was something I couldn’t guarantee.

However.

It would be possible if I were by your side.

“How can you expect us to believe that? Hey, Hyuna… was that what you said? Do you know why companies hire people based on their qualifications?”

“I know.”

How could someone who goes to a study group not know that?

“After all, every single line written in that self-introduction proves that person’s ability and sincerity. But? Does Yoon-ha over there have anything to brag about to us? If so, show us. At least for reference.”

Park Jae-ho’s voice was the same from beginning to end.

The temperature inside it became extremely cold.

“I have nothing to brag about. I can only guarantee it.”

“You can’t just believe those kids’ jokes and sign a contract that doesn’t know what will happen? Because the contract includes all the care for the celebrity that signed the contract. If we just stamp the contract without a guarantee check, we have to run around here and there for the celebrity who might be successful.”

“Isn’t that the same for other celebrities?”

“It’s the method of elimination. In the end, you end up choosing the person with a slightly higher probability of success. In the first place, isn’t it too much of a stretch to ask that child to sign a contract after bringing him in? Wouldn’t that child be more aware of it?”

Certainly, people who work directly in society have different logic than the kids I met in college.

There is logic in words.

There was something called persuasiveness.

“But if I hadn’t come, this conversation wouldn’t have even happened.”

“That’s true too.”

In the end, it’s a conversation between adults.

I realized that meetings with companies ultimately come down to a competition where you keep saying the right things and decide who is more right.

“I’m still young, so it’s hard for me to continue this conversation. So, let me get straight to the point.”

“Yeah.”

“How can I get Yoon-ha to come here and take care of her? I guarantee she will succeed.”

“That’s right. In cases like this, it’s really embarrassing for us too. If there’s something going, there’s something coming back. You.”

“Yes.”

“Right now that Episode 1 has ended, your stock is at its peak. So if you decide to sign with us, we’ll sign with Yoon-ha as a ‘bonus’.”

I think I know why the information review was requested at this time.

That was the peak of my stock price.

[Nobody knows that?]

[The master only appeared briefly as an extra in a drama. No one knows whether this is the peak or whether he will reach an even greater peak later.]

[That’s why you want to catch more.]

“I… ….”

I hesitated a little.

To be honest, I was half and half.

After signing the contract, I also wanted to work with the feeling that I was a celebrity.

I am a cross-dressing player, but is it okay for me to do something like that?

What if I do that and people start criticizing me again?

“… … .”

blame…….

That was really scary.

No matter how much I try not to care.

Once a single sharp word gets stuck in my head, it follows me around for at least a few days without being pulled out.

“I… …Can you do something like a preliminary contract? Besides, I’m still not really ready to do full-fledged activities. I’d like to do something like supporting Yoonha.”

In the end, I ended up making a cowardly choice.

“Hmm. Well. If you just sign a contract, even if it’s a provisional contract, there’s no way I wouldn’t do it. Then let’s see. HyunA’s side should bring another contract. And write up a side agreement just in case.”

“Yes… .”

“Is it okay for Ms. Yoonha to sign a contract like that?”

“Yes. If you want it, of course. And the chances of success are much higher if you take the opportunity like this. Pride and face. I know that those things don’t really matter in this industry.”

“Hey. It’s stronger than I thought.”

Well, Choi Yoon-ha had already tried her best in every audition but was eliminated without even being judged.

A person who has already experienced failure is strong.

[Contract (Provisional Contract)]

[Appendix Agreement]

[Celebrity Affiliation Contract]

[Article 1 – Definition]

“Can you give me some time, I need to read it carefully?”

“Of course. If there’s a difference, you can give it to me tomorrow. There’s no need to rush. The contract can be signed within 5 days of mutual agreement.”

There was no way Park Jae-ho didn’t know that what I was saying now was a bit far-fetched.

Still, you’re signing a contract with me.

first.

My stock price is high right now.

Second.

It was because I was Kim Hye-rin’s younger sister.

‘There’s no way anyone working in this industry wouldn’t know our sisters.’

It must be because they calculated in their head that it would be beneficial if they could just somehow continue.

If you think about it that way, I actually cared about that to some extent.

‘There’s nothing particularly strange about the contract.’

I checked the standards for celebrity contracts on the Internet.

There didn’t seem to be any particular problem.

Nevertheless, Choi Yoon-ha and I wrote our names and dates, checked them again and again, and then signed them.

“Doesn’t it have to be a stamp?”

“A seal would be nice, but these days, a signature is not really a bad thing. In fact, these days, there are people who sign contracts online.”

It felt like a really good time.

[Name: Kim Hyun-woo]

“Huh? But I think I wrote the name wrong here… … .”

When Park Jae-ho was saying something.

I asked him cautiously.

“Ah. But I haven’t been in the military yet. Is that okay? My physical is scheduled for next Monday.”

“… … Huh?”

For a moment the conference room froze in an awkward silence.

Only Choi Yoon-ha was smiling faintly.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time, Kim Hyun-woo was signing a contract with Pia Management while dressed as a woman.

A veteran director who knows what it means to row when the tide comes in.

Seol Han-soo had already gathered the reporters and was conducting heated interviews with the lead actors.

Going further.

The excitement was already evident in the live chat on YouTube after seeing Kim Hye-rin sitting with a strange expression during the interview.

-Something big is coming.

-The real big one is coming. I wonder if he’s really going to say that.

-What are you talking about?

-If you don’t know, just shut up and look.

-Because something big is coming.

Whatever.

The reporters asked all sorts of questions.

“I can say that the male-female protagonist genre is not a completely minor genre. Is there a reason why you had to choose that genre? I think it would have been okay if it had just gone with the usual lineup of actors.”

“I am not satisfied with just mediocre things. However, I also know that male-female lead roles are not an easy genre. That is why, if there is an actress who can take on this role, it must be Kim Hye-rin. When selecting actors who fit the character, I had already finished talking with the writer.”

The reporters nodded.

If it’s Kim Hye-rin, then I admit it.

“But in reality, it seems like other people were largely responsible for the huge hit and attention that this first episode received.”

“That’s right. As everyone knows, the person who played the role of ‘nanny’ had a big role. I think it would be better for Kim Hye-rin to talk about that than for me.”

The mic went to Kim Hye-rin.

“Ah. So far, many senior actors and great actors have filmed dramas with male characters. I think they are of great quality. But I decided to star in this work because I think I am the best protagonist for that genre.”

huh?

The reporters tilted their heads.

I asked a question about the nanny and the topic suddenly seems to be going off topic?

… … I thought so.

“The reason I’m telling you this story is because my younger sister was the one who took on the role of nanny.”

-The big one. The big one is coming!

-Eungiiit…!

“As expected, she is actress Kim Hye-rin’s younger sister, so she gave a great performance.”

“No.”

Kim Hye-rin said confidently.

“The nanny who appeared there is not my younger sister. She is my younger brother. That is why I am confident in acting out the gender reversal.”

-Eungiiit… …! Go away twice.

“ in?”

The reporters were turned over twice.

no.

It was an unbelievable statement from the start.

That nanny… is a man?
