Rookie Talent Agent Knows It All

"Chief Jung, I want to give you half of the shares of Mirinae, which will soon be revived."

Mirinae had the potential to generate tens of billions in profit just with the production of Haze after its revival. If I continued helping with drama production even a little, it could eventually lead to hundreds of billions in revenue.

Han Yoo-Sik said he wanted to give me half the shares of such a company. I wondered if he was scared because of what he experienced during bankruptcy, so I tried to reassure him.

"Mr. Han. If you're worried that loan sharks might come after you again, please don't worry. Daeheung Savings Bank, which took over the debts from the Myeongdong Rebuild Crew, is a place I know very well. Also, with Yung-In as the lead and Miso appearing too, this project will definitely succeed. So you don't have to worry about bankruptcy."

"That's not it."

Han Yoo-Sik shook his head and began to talk about the conversation he had with his wife last night.

"Last night, lying in our warm room, my wife and I talked about how we could repay you. But we realized we had almost nothing left. We have only Mirinae..."

I felt touched, but I sensed that giving me the shares wasn't the only reason. That's when a sudden thought crossed my mind.

"Is it because of your children?" I asked.

Han Yoo-Sik stayed silent for a moment before slowly nodding. "To be honest, that's part of it. If I return to the industry, those bastards who are worse than beasts will come looking for me. But I don't want to pass anything I have to them. I'd rather give it to you, the person who saved us from ruin."

He must have been hurt so deeply that he would rather give the shares to a stranger like me. However, I couldn't accept the shares. If I accepted shares from a related industry company, the talent agents from Gwanwoo Entertainment would attack me citing the no-duplicate-employment clause.
