Chapter 744: Project I.O.A. Begins (3)
Go Eun-Seo's father, Go Joon-Taek, was a three-term National Assembly member from Incheon. Before the regression, he had constantly shown up at the company, always asking me to take care of his daughter.
However, a request from a three-term lawmaker wasn't truly a request. It was more like a veiled threat. If his daughter suffered any setbacks or her popularity dipped, he wouldn't let it slide.
Now, that very man appeared here at SBC Broadcasting with a smile on his face. I had kicked his wife, Han So-Ye, out during the Korean preliminaries. And yet, he showed up in person, bringing SBC executives with him to flaunt his power.
Still, I had no intention of caving to his influence. I had knelt before power enough in my last life.
Go Joon-Taek bowed his head to Ji Yung-Sik, who was clearly upset at the interruption. "I must apologize. I didn't realize filming was underway. I've made a terrible misstep."
Just then, SBC's Variety Division Chief Park Han-Jong and other board members began frantically waving their hands.
"Oh no, not at all! It's not like you did it on purpose, Mr. Assemblyman! PD Ji is just a little on edge because it's the first broadcast. Please understand."
Director Han Tae-San, quick to read the room, even helped Go Joon-Taek up. "Please, Mr. Assemblyman. Don't do this."
"Haha, still, I really do feel bad..."
"It's fine, sir."
As Go Joon-Taek reluctantly lifted his head, Han Tae-San turned to calm Ji Yung-Sik. "Why are you just standing there, PD Ji? Come on, come greet Mr. Assemblyman. He didn't do it on purpose, so let's move past this."
However, Ji Yung-Sik couldn't hide his discomfort. "Mr. Han, our first live broadcast is about to begin. How are we supposed to manage with outside guests?"
