1st year Max Level Manager chapter 1
- Volume 1 Episode 1

prologue

If you could go back 10 years, what would you do?

Choose one of the views.

1. To win the lottery.

2. Become wealthy by preoccupying stocks.

3. Buying Bitcoin at low prices.

4. Undo the choices you regretted.

If you have chosen, the question is again.

If you picked number 1, you were in the lottery 10 years ago.

Anyone remember the number 1 number?

Hmm, I can't remember.

and twice.

Yes, maybe 2 is possible.

I know a few companies whose stock price is going up.

And number three, buy bitcoin at low prices.

If you time it right, a lot of money

I think I can earn

However, the year I returned to in 2019 was not very interesting.

Anyway.

I made a lot of money in my first life.

But that life was so painful and futile.

Since that day, everything in my life changed.

I made money, but I've never had a good night's sleep.

So I chose number 4.

Having returned like that, I was able to design a new life.

Along with the regression, the diary with the future schedule for 10 years also regressed.

There, the diary.

As a result of my actions, the pre-regression schedule was deleted.

This allowed me to see the future impact of my actions.

Oh, but don't get me wrong.

Of course you will make money.

2nd time in life.

Wouldn't it be weird if you did the same thing and didn't make any money?

So from now on.

returned after one year,

The story of the man-level manager begins.

1. Return D-30

"Vice President of Top Entertainment.

Jung Yunho

My name is engraved in bright silver on the plaque of appreciation that fills one side of the study.

[As a contribution to the development of Korean cinema ]

[For their contribution to the overseas expansion of Korean idols ]

[As an ambassador for K-POP ]

[The youngest culture promotion ]

Reading the words on the thank-you plaque, he spit out his own words.

"It was really successful. Jung Yunho."

It has been 10 years this year since I entered the entertainment industry at the age of 26.

During that time, he became the vice president of Top Entertainment, the number one in the industry, and took Joo Young-in, a top actress, as his wife.

all.

I live in Jamsil LT Tower 100 pyeong overlooking the Han River.

I think this would be a successful life for anyone looking at it.

However, unlike this external success, there was always an emptiness in his heart.

that day 10 years ago.

Because, in a moment's wrong choice, I lost precious people.

And the painful memories of that day still haunt me.

Fuu~.

Taking a deep breath, I shifted my gaze to the picture placed on the other side of the study.

[The 7th Coalition Contest of Hurreongso Entertainment]

In the photo contained in the red oak frame, the employees and actors are smiling together with CEO Kang Gam-chan as the center.

"It was a good time

Holgoongso enter emphasizes the character of the actor, and the manager and the actor

My first job where I was like a family.

But three years after this photo was taken.

My first office worker, Golleongso Enter, walks the path of decline.

This is because, after CEO Kang Gam-chan suffered a stroke, Kim Dong-soo, the 3rd head of actor division, that is, the current CEO of Top Entertainment, took 80% of the employees and celebrities and split the company.

And then, I too followed Kim Dong-soo.

That's how it was made, the top entertainment of today.

However, Top Entertainment is the opposite of Hulgoongso Entertainment, which was supposed to become a human before being a star.

It was a place famous for not caring about any scandals, as long as celebrities make money.

Because of that, until I became the vice president, I had to raise a celebrity by looking at money without considering an actor's personality.

That's when you're heartbroken.

hot.

As I recalled the old memories, the upper part of my stomach hurt like a knife cut.

These days, when I get a little bit of stress, this kind of pain often comes to me.

It's been a while since I didn't get a checkup on the excuse of being busy, but I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow.

It was then.

Jiying.

'Everyday', a schedule management application that has been used for 10 years, has announced today's schedule.

[Everyday V10]

[Date: November 12, 2029]

[Current time 04:30, LT Tower (Home)]

- (Reservation Schedule D-30) : Bundang Memorial Park, Miso

-AM 05:00 Top Entertainment Grand Conference Room (7F), meeting on the day of the Hwangryong Film Festival.

-PM 09:10 Top Star Episode 11 broadcast with my hands, Lee Ji-eun appeared.

"Is the time already like this?"

It is currently 4:30 am.

Today is the day of the Hwangryong Film Festival, so I had a lot to prepare from early in the morning.

Last night at 11 o'clock], this is because I received a secret call from one of the executive committee members of the Hwangryong Film Festival that I had written in advance.

- Vice President Jung. I think tomorrow's outfit would be a red dress.

Lee Ji-eun is the female lead in the movie   The Best Bride , which drew 8.33 million viewers this year.

When she was confirmed for Best Actress, I asked her to tell me a story that included red.

I got the signal, now I

turn to go.

Befitting Lee Ji-eun for the Best Actress Award, from makeup to dress, it had to be set to the highest level from one to ten.

I had to put my hands on the reporters, and by lunchtime, articles like [Lee Ji-eun, likely to win the Hwangryong Film Festival] had to appear.

In order to prepare for the awards ceremony, all employees have moved up their work hours], I also rushed to work.

profit.

As I headed to the dressing room, the sound of slippers being pulled echoed in the living room.

If my wife was in the bedroom, I would wake up

He must have been careful, but his wife hasn't come home yet.

"Ts. Who are you meeting with, so you're away from home by this time? "

The moment I was about to call my wife, someone else's phone rang first.

[Sender: Dongsoo Kim, CEO]

"What's going on with Dong-soo at this time?"

When I answered the phone, I heard the urgent voice of Dongsoo hyung, the CEO of the company.

- It's Yunho. It's a big deal. ugh~.

His tongue was twisted as he drank with investors.

"Anyway, every day is a big deal. why? What else is going on?"

-Reporters asked the author to sponsor the building. It's going to explode tomorrow morning!

what?

Tonight at the Hwangryong Film Festival, the person receiving the Best Actress award had an accident.

In an instant, heat rises to the top of his head.

"Are you kidding me now? The author said that he does not sponsor! But suddenly, what is this?"

- Oh, that's it. So just a little Your opponent is a giant When it explodes, we all die.

"No, who the hell is that tycoon? You need to know who your opponent is!"

-Hey. Do I have to explain everything to you in detail? Just do it if you want! Ouch.

The results of randomly recruiting stars without considering the personality and character of the stars are showing.

Maybe it's because of the stress, something new comes up inside.

I grabbed my stinging chin and cleared my breath.

"Whoa. after. okay. How many places did you ask?"

- Block only three places. Where...

I tried to appease my drunken gibberish brother, and checked the list of newspapers again and again several times.

Okay, I'll try to negotiate, so we'll talk later.

- Do you know the amount?

Know. Stop!"

After hanging up with Dong-soo hyung.

I called my right arm, General Manager Gu Ji-seok.

-Yes. Vice President.

"I'm sorry, but I think I'll be late for today's meeting. First of all, General Manager Koo takes responsibility and prepares everything from makeup to dresses and accessories to S-class. I think I'm going to win a big prize today."

-All right. deputy boss. So what do the media do?

gulp.

I swallowed dry saliva.

If you can't stop Lee Ji-eun's sponsor rumors anyway, there's no point in giving oil to the media.

Besides, if you can't stop one, all the entertainment reporters will duplicate the same article before an hour has passed.

Wait until I call. I have something to deal with first."

Click!

I hung up the phone and put the phone at the desk of the entertainment newspaper that Dong-soo-hyung told me.

This is the beginning of negotiations.

"Oh, yes. That's me. Top entertainer Jung Yunho. Yes. I mean, it's a normal journalist. a~. You came out rough from the start. Don't do that, do you go to one and a half as usual?

One and a half is said to give 150 million won.

But the other party answered with a smirk.

- Vice President Jung. I can't do that. This time, should I give you at least two?

Today, the daily life of the entertainment industry has been unfolding since dawn

It was.

* * *

Two of the three newspapers that asked about Lee Ji-eun's sponsorship were blocked without much difficulty.

200 million for Entertainment Today and 250 million for Bling Bling Celebrity News.

Now, the sponsor article that the two companies were going to explode tonight is, 'Lee Ji-eun's happiness.

One day, and 'Lee Ji-eun will be transformed into a Best Actress Award at the Hwangryong Film Festival.

"Jung Yunho. It's broken a lot... "

I used to hate this type of transaction.

But if the deal doesn't work, what's the point if the actor you've worked so hard to raise is over?

Anyway, there's only one left.

Only weekly stars.

The editor-in-chief has finished talking, but reporter Gu Min-ji, who has the photo, is not responding to the deal.

Because of that, I had to go to her house myself.

profit

I parked the car in front of the garage of a two-story house in Cheongdam-dong, which looks quite expensive.

"It's nice to have a petrol house."

Minji Gu was the leader of the girl group Pink Diamond until a few years ago.

But now he was famous as an ulzzang reporter.

On the other hand, it was also famous as a poisonous species among poisonous species.

About 5 minutes of waiting.

Engine noise was heard from inside the garage.

jii ing

With the garage lid lifted up, a gleaming 2030 Porsche Cayenne emerged.

But when I saw my car parked in front of the garage, I made a sudden stop.

profit!

Minji Gu stopped the car and got out of the driver's seat, wiping her wet hair.

"What are we going to do with this? Get the car right now... "

Hello? Old reporter."

Minji Gu, who received my greeting, frowned.

huh. It was Vice President Jung. I'm busy right now, see you next time. Get out of the car right now."

"Wait a minute, please. All you need is a cup of coffee. I heard you like this?"

When she handed her her favorite Starbucks Double Shot Cafe Latte, Min-ji Gu reluctantly accepted.

"Since you bought it now, I will accept it in consideration of your sincerity. instead of drinking this

That's it."

thank you. actually "

Fortunately, he was speechless, but after a while the cold sneer returned.

"We are busy with each other, but we skip the introduction and go straight to the main point. Are you telling me to cover up Lee Ji-eun's spawn? Are you thinking of offering 500 million won in return?"

"Hey. Our former reporter. You shouldn't be a journalist, you should open a mat."

"Give up. If you get stuck at this article's desk, I'll stab you at the management. So this is Vice President Jung

Not you, but Vice President Chung, I can't stop even Grandpa."

"Let's not do this. former reporter. I will take special care of the old reporters in the future. And I'll hand you a proper scoop.

What I want to take special is that I will fill the back pocket separately.

However, reporter Gu Min-ji shook his head with a strong attitude.

"Do you not understand what I am saying? You said no!"

'Why are you doing this when you usually eat well? Maybe there's something else behind it

me?'

If this happens, even if you don't want to, you have no choice but to use the last card.

Min-ji Gu, not knowing what was going on inside me, shook the coffee cup and smiled.

"Hwangryong Film Festival Best Actress Award, Miss A, won the award thanks to the power of the sponsor. Title is awesome, right? hey I picked it, but it feels like a total hit?"

The cold wind cooled the coffee quickly, and Min-ji Gu drank the remaining half in one shot.

I brought it in the Venti size, but now that I see it, it was a mistake.

I should have put it on tumblr.

"I drank coffee. Then, go in. Good luck with your follow-up."

Taking a deep breath, I pulled out my phone.

"Old reporter. Even if you go, it would be good to see this."

Gu Min-ji, who was about to get in the car, looked at the screen of my phone, and his face turned white.

"Hey, where is this picture?

what I'm showing you now.

This is an X-file related to the entertainment industry that Dong-soo hyung sent me.

[Reporter Minji Gu - X File]

-Contents: An affair with Jang Min-ki, the second generation of the Jung-in group.

-Reference files: 1. Yokohama Hotel (photo), 2. Bali Pool Villa (photo)

Confusion, confusion and hatred were revealed one after another on Gu Min-ji's face.

I look at Gu Min-ji's face

fell into self-hatred.

I didn't become a manager for that.

However, my outward expression was only expressionless.

"Let's go. If you make tears of blood flow in someone else's eyes, tears of blood flow in your own eyes too. Do you know?"

"If only Mr. X's mouth survives."

You're good at swearing once.

It was then.

swish!

Minji Gu's right hand holds my phone

tried to intercept

As she lightly avoided her touch, her face became more ferocious.

"Aren't you going to delete it? Do you think Mingi will stay still if our Mingi finds out about such a gimmick?"

"I don't know who Mingi is over there, but I know how strong our CEO Dongsoo Kim is. Even now, the fact that I am going to hand over this photo to another newspaper is a way to end it."

A cold winter morning.

Minji Gu looks at me and blows my body

trembled

In my mind, I've probably beaten me hundreds of times.

"I was able to completely drop that X into a rock this time "

During my life in the entertainment industry, I think there was something wrong with Lee Ji-eun.

Minji Gu, with a venomous expression on his face, bit his lips.

After a while.

Minji Gu sharpened his teeth and called somewhere else.

Yes. Editor-in-Chief. I think I'll have to negotiate for this article. 5 billion. Yes. Yes. That's it. I'll explain it in detail later. I see.

Seeing that the conversation continued smoothly, it seems that Dong-soo hyung has finished a deal with the editor-in-chief once again.

By the way.

hot.

Once again, my stomach hurts.

damn it

I really have to go to the hospital tomorrow.

After finishing the call, Minji Gu looked at me and frowned.

"Vice President Jung. Isn't it hard to live like that every day?

It's hard, why won't it be hard?

In particular, it feels like their lives are being eroded every time the celebrities in our company deal with cheap shit.

But he answered as if nothing had happened.

"The transaction went well. The gift will be delivered to your home by our staff."

After I finished the story, I went back.

But from behind, I heard Min-ji's shrill voice.

huh. I'm not just going to take care of the actors, I'm going to do the housework. Did you hear bad rumors from Vice President Jung's house?"

tried to ignore

However, it is quite annoying to listen to.

"The secret life of actress Joo Young-in. Or the secret of his wife that Jung Yun-ho, the hand of Midas, does not know. how about it? Do you think it will be good as a year-end special title?"

There was a tendon in my head.

Celebrity journalists are people who have a knack for turning people upside down with just a few words.

I tried to say something to him not to say nonsense, but his mouth did not fall.

At the same time, the whole body doesn't even move as if it's full of muscle.

'Why are you doing this?'

"Ho ho ho. Then, have a good time at work. Someday, that X. I will definitely drop it with my hands. If possible, Vice President Chung and Dongsoo Kim and the new X. ho ho ho."

Min-ji Gu, who poured a curse, drove away to me, who was frozen.

But at that moment, I felt nauseated with the sensation of something swaying from above.

Whew.

spilled gastric juice on the floor.

However, the color of the gastric juice was different from usual.

Not brown, but dark blood.

Suddenly, my head started spinning and my vision began to blur.

kuung.

The moment I ripped my head off the floor, I lost consciousness.

The asphalt on a cold day in November was colder than I thought.

The sound of someone screaming was heard in the interrupted consciousness.

From time to time, the sound of the 119 siren seemed to be heard.

But for a while.

With a beeping sound, his vision turned dark.
