Chapter 774: Finding the Director (1)
"My total annual salary last year including bonuses was about 1.7 billion won. And this year, it's expected to exceed 2.5 billion."
I brought up my salary boldly to stop any further talk about the Jung Yoon-Ho risk. I wanted to make it clear I was being treated better than anyone else in the industry here at Hoop Entertainment.
However, I didn't mention the shares I was set to receive. The 15% stake in Hoop Entertainment that Chairman Choi Eun-Tae promised me was enough to instantly make me the third-largest shareholder, and it could impact the upcoming public offering.
Still, just mentioning my salary was enough to stir the room. Not only reporter Lee Joon-Hee, but all the reporters present began murmuring. After all, the figure I threw out was unimaginable for a salaried employee.
-Wait, not 170 million but 1.7 billion?
-That's insane for someone in their twenties...
Of course they wouldn't believe it. A 1.7 billion won salary was the kind of money people only dreamed of.
-That's nuts...
-Are talent agent salaries really that high? Is this even real?
-I heard the vice chairman of Daechon Inc. makes 2.2 billion.
-Who is this guy? Why would Hoop give that kind of money to a chief?
-I heard there's a rumor he's President Kang Gam-Chan's hidden son. Is that true?
