Chapter 659: Collision (1)
"Mr. Kang. Since Director Kang Ji-Yung has taken over domestic affairs, you should assign the Japan operations to Vice President Kim Gwan-Woo!"
A few days ago, Kang Ji-Yung had reorganized Hoop Entertainment's system by instructing all Gwanwoo Entertainment talent agents to report through the proper chain. Now, Choi Man-Sik was arguing that since Kang Gam-Chan's line was managing all operations, the Japan operations should go to Kim Gwan-Woo.
"President Choi. The reason I instructed the Gwanwoo team leads to report properly is because they weren't doing it. That's a legitimate directive. But handing over Japan operations? That's outrageous!"
The argument was so heated that no one—Kang Gam-Chan, Choi Man-Sik, Kang Ji-Yung, or Kim Gwan-Woo—noticed me entering the office.
Then Kang Ji-Yung joined in. "If issuing proper directives is wrong, then you might as well ask me to resign! I've been handling the Japan operations from start to finish. How could I just hand that over? You want me to replace the entire overseas team? Do you think that makes sense? Overseas business is all about connections."
Indeed, personal connections were everything in international business. It was already hard enough working with strangers in your own country, let alone abroad. Especially with the notoriously closed-off Japanese business scene, connections were essential.
Unable to contain her frustration, Kang Ji-Yung grew agitated.
At that moment, Choi Man-Sik spoke like he had been waiting for this. "Don't play dumb, Director Kang. You think I don't know you orchestrated this whole thing to break in and dominate the Gwanwoo agents?"
"What do you mean orchestrated!? Isn't that going too far?"
"Oh come on, we're all industry pros here. You deliberately stepped all over Chief Yoon. Don't pretend otherwise."
"Chief Yoon caused the problem!"
"Sure. But using that as leverage to take full control of Gwanwoo's operations is still a fact, isn't it?"
