Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary

Episode 21. Why America?

In Yoo So-hyun’s hand, the long vacuum cleaner sack swung around and drew a trajectory.

Shaaak-!

“Cleaning in one stroke! Dust Knife!”

“Crowd!”

The commercial shooting, which had many twists and turns, ended with Cho Chan-soo’s cry.

“You worked hard! You worked hard!”

“Sohyeon, you really worked hard!”

“thank you!”

Yoo So-hyun, who came down from the stage, greeted the staff and went back to the waiting room. Kim Bo-ran followed closely to the side.

“Sohyeon-ah, you worked really hard. Was it hard?”

“It was more fun than I thought. But what about Manager Hawk?”

“A while ago, the exclusive manager, Jamie, passed away together while talking about whether he was acquainted with Mr. Kang-soo.”

“huh? Jamie?”

“There is a woman who looks a bit scary. A bit like the darkness in a novel?”

“Better than your sister?”

“Ah, that’s about me—what does that mean?”

Kim Bo-ran continued to accept it, but felt strange.

“hehehe, then where is Mr. Kangsu?”

“I went out to look around for a while. I’ll probably wait in the car.”

“okay?”

Along with the answer, Yoo So-hyun’s head kept turning.

During the conversation between the two, Na Bong-suk, the makeup manager, intervened.

“While erasing, do you want to make the eyebrows that you couldn’t make into one?”

“no. I will be quiet.”

Na Bong-sook removed the advertising makeup from Yoo So-hyun’s face and set it up again. When everything was over, Yoo So-hyun stretched out and headed to the car with Kim Bo-ran.

Woo-woo-woo-woo-

“Chief?”

Yoo Chae-yeon’s name was stamped on Kim Bo-ran’s cell phone.

[Assistant Boran, are you still filming commercials?]

“no. Just finished. What are you doing?”

[Then come into the company right now. Yoo So-hyun is also with me. Oh, do you have a schedule?]

“Today is over. I’ll go right in.”

After finishing the call, Yoo So-hyun, who was listening next to her, tilted her head.

“What’s going on?”

“They ask me to come into the office to see if there is something important. Have you had any appointments?”

“No~”

The two got into the car.

Kang-soo, who was in the driver’s seat first, checked the rearview and side mirrors once.

“You worked hard. I know there are no more schedules, but can I go to Yoo So-hyun’s house?”

“no. Sohyun, please go to work instead of home. Director Yoo Chae-yeon wants to see you.”

“All right.”

Kangsu started the car.

Departing from Paju and coming to Seoul, it took about an hour and a half because the car was a bit blocked.

Soon, the elevator door opened to the second floor of Jin Entertainment and the three entered.

The office atmosphere was chaotic.

“What is going on?”

Kim Bo-ran was going to the office of general manager Yoo Chae-yeon when her manager colleague Ha Jung-jo jumped out.

“Agent Boran. The director is in the office right now.”

“director? who?”

“That director. I went to audition for Yoo So-hyun.”

“···huh? Director Hawk O’Brien?”

I went back after meeting at the Paju commercial filming set earlier.

It was strange to hear that name all of a sudden.

“that’s right. You are now in the conference room on the third floor.”

Kim Bo-ran went up to the third floor with Kang-soo and Yoo So-hyun.

Standing at the entrance were Brady and other bodyguards, who had been attacked by Kang-su at the Paju filming set.

As soon as they saw the river, they gnashed their teeth as if they remembered the humiliating situation.

However, he was more upright than anyone else, and he was even lethal in numbers.

If you had real pride, the answer was to stay still.

smart-

When the door to the conference room opened, headquarters director Yoo Chae-yeon and CEO Jin Soo-hyeok were sitting around a large desk.

“I’m home.”

“Welcome.”

“Yes, but what is this…”

Opposite the two were Hawk O’Brien and Jamie Klein.

As I watched them enter the conference room, I raised my hand slightly.

The three of them took a long seat next to Director Yoo Chae-yeon.

Jamie stepped out as if he had been waiting.

“I came here because I wanted to directly ask Yoo So-hyun to play the role of ‘Jessica Kim’ in ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞.”

Accordingly, Kim Bo-ran started from the beginning.

“It was the same at the filming set, wasn’t it canceled because Yoo So-hyun couldn’t go to LA?”

“We will make sure there are no problems during filming. There will be absolutely no risk.”

With a very accented accent, Yoo Chae-yeon listened and spoke.

“How can you be sure? As we talked about earlier, Monica Shaw’s case is not over. Even though she is almost buried in society, it does not mean that she has disappeared.”

“I know. So I will definitely send it away.”

“···yes?”

The nuance of Jamie’s answer was subtle.

At this, neither Yoo Chae-yeon nor Jin Soo-hyeok could understand what they meant.

“I don’t like fine fights. If you are going to fight, you must fight properly. That way, there will be no sediment left.”

“therefore. What do you mean by that?”

“We will file a lawsuit against Monica Shaw. A claim for damages due to this incident…?”

It was a more difficult explanation than before.

Jin Soo-hyeok listened quietly and then came out.

“I heard you well. To put it simply, it sounds like you are pressuring Monica Shaw with a lawsuit. What exactly do you mean?”

“To be exact, my family’s company will do it. For defamation of all the products that Monica Shaw has recently filmed and advertised.”

At the word family, Jin Soo-hyeok pondered and thought of something.

“Are you… a member of the Klein family of Ople?”

It occupied about 40% of the US electronics market and more than 30% in Korea, with many enthusiasts.

The head of such a world-famous company called OPLE is a person named Dustin Klein.

At first, Jin Soo-hyeok happened to think that he was the same person as his last name.

“She is an embarrassing young woman to openly appear. I do have a share though. If it’s my request, you’ll listen. Of course, I was preparing from the beginning on that side as well.”

The number of advertisers who suffered damage from Monica’s misdeeds was considerable.

From their point of view, preparing a lawsuit was a natural order.

“Ople can definitely stop it. But why do you even do that?”

Hawk O’Brien’s drama? Of course it’s great.

If it is completed, the profit to be made will be enormous.

However, because of the person who will be in one role, it is not enough to do that much.

Jamie sighs as he tries to answer.

“I don’t do that either. After all, it is because of this person.”

He pointed to Hawk O’Brien, who was sitting right next to him.

Hawke still had dust from the filming set all over her clothes, including her shoulders.

People who didn’t know why were just wondering why it was like that.

“You’re doing that because of the director?”

“Jessica Kim in My Neighbor Diablo is an important role. It is the character that drives the story. And Hawk took that role as a model from the beginning and wrote it.”

Everyone was puzzled.

In particular, Yoo Chae-yeon, who initially suggested an audition and instructed her to try it, also seemed strange.

“In that case, wouldn’t it be better if we had Yoo So-hyun drop in the first place and proceed with it? I didn’t even have to make her audition.”

That’s a thousand times right. On the other side, Jamie nodded her head automatically, as if she could agree.

“There were actors pushing from the investor side. It’s hard for the producers and us to ignore that part. That’s why I held an audition, but that’s how it turned out.”

“Who was the actor pushing in Investors?”

“It was Chen Wei.”

She is a 26-year-old Taiwanese-born Chinese actress who started as a child actress and has taken dozens of movies and dramas.

It was also quite popular in Korea.

“We also investigated your investment company, but as far as I know there were no Chinese companies.”

The Republic of Korea detests acts that imply national political quality the most.

In particular, when involved in cultural media such as movies and dramas, the actors and staff of the work are stigmatized.

Yoo Chae-yeon took care of that part as the head of marketing at JIN Entertainment.

“There was an entity involved with investors. We didn’t know either. When I found out too late, it was difficult to use my hands. But I thought an audition would solve it.”

On the day of the audition, things went awry.

Besides, Hawk O’Brien hates such complicated economic and political battles the most.

In order to capture only what he wanted, he made an unreasonable number to come all the way to Korea and visit Yoo So-hyun himself.

“If Chen Wei is recommended, shouldn’t an audition be held unconditionally?”

“I’m thinking of auditioning in Korea.”

“As I said before, even if I pass the audition, I will go to LA…”

At that time, Jamie raised her hand and interrupted Yoo Chae-yeon.

“I’m sorry, but what does LA have to do with auditioning earlier?”

“Isn’t ‘My Neighbor Diablo’ filmed in LA or the US?”

The exact filming location has not been announced yet.

However, the director was Hawk O’Brien, and the production company was also famous in the United States. Is the location foreign to filming an American drama?

Of course, I couldn’t help but think of LA or America.

“We have never announced anything like that. Of course, only Hawk and I knew the finished script, so it didn’t leak out.”

“So you’re saying it’s not America?”

At this time, Hawk O’Brien opens his tightly closed mouth.

“The filming location is Korea.”

“Hawk!”

“You found out anyway. Also, the filming location seems to be the most important part for Yoo So-hyun.”

Jaime felt like he was getting old quickly because of Hawk.

In response, he rubbed his forehead with his fingers and told the surprised people.

“It is as I said. How about this? Could it be more of a problem?”

“Once… the problem seems to go away. Of course, we also have to ask about Yoo So-hyun’s intentions.”

Yoo Chae-yeon’s gaze turned to Yoo So-hyun.

When her eyes met, Yoo So-hyun smiled and replied.

“I like auditions. To be honest, I really wanted to play the role of Jessica Kim in ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞. Of course, you have to stick with it.”

It was spoken in English, so everyone in the conference room understood.

At the same time, Hawk O’Brien jumped up from his seat and shouted cheers.

“Wow. Bravo—!”

It looked like he had conquered even K2.

“Shut up. Oh, and I have a question.”

Jamie’s gaze turned to Jin Soo-hyeok, the CEO of JIN Entertainment.

“Tell me. Miss Jamie.”

“If Yoo So-hyun is chosen for the role of Jessica Kim, I would like to appoint Mr. Han as the manager of all security operations on the set. Is it possible?”

“If it’s Mr. Han…?”

“I mean Han Kang-soo. I’m curious about this, but I want to request it as an ancillary contract.”

When everyone heard that, their eyes turned to Kangsu.
