Chapter 795: Schemer (2)
Even after I brought up So Yi-Yung's sponsorship scandal, the merger announcement for Everyday stayed on the schedule entry.
I tilted my head in confusion, and at that moment, Sung Hak-Soo made an unexpected offer.
"Let's exclude So Yi-Yung from the acquisition. Her exclusive contract is worth about five billion won... Once I move her to another agency, I'll deposit the transfer fee into the company account."
Sung Hak-Soo proposed a counter-offer: acquire TNT Entertainment without So Yi-Yung. He promised to replace So Yi-Yung's contract value in cash. It was no wonder the merger schedule entry hadn't been scrapped. Sung Hak-Soo must have planned to resolve the issue this way.
However, TNT Entertainment had problems beyond just So Yi-Yung. I had to derail this merger no matter what.
At that moment, Sung Hak-Soo glanced at me and casually continued. "However, if you want to get So Yi-Yung's contract money, you'll have to bury the sponsorship rumors. Just give me a hint and tell me who her sponsor is. I'll take care of it quietly without a trace."
'And why should I trust you?'
If I told him the sponsor's name, I would be handing the knife straight to Sung Hak-Soo.
If Sung Hak-Soo told the assemblyman sponsors that I knew their dirty secrets, their aides would be on me in an instant, demanding where I got the information and who the investigating reporter was. They would corner me ruthlessly. That was why I never shared this information before the regression either.
"How can I trust someone who doesn't even know whether the product he's selling is defective?" I asked.
When I pointed out that he hadn't even known about the scandal surrounding So Yi-Yung, the face of TNT Entertainment, Sung Hak-Soo looked embarrassed.
"I admit I missed the So Yi-Yung issue, but don't worry. I'm Sung Hak-Soo of Daechon! Whatever goes wrong, I'll handle it just like this."
