However, Jeonghwan was more sensitive than Irene Kim's manager. As soon as he knew Jooeun had signed her contract, he got his PR department to release an article congratulating Cha Jooeun on becoming Mont Blanc's new spokesperson.
So Irene Kim lost!
SM's Artists Director contacted Irene Kim straight away, asking her what had happened. The company had spent so much money and provided her with so much backing, yet the endorsement was snatched away by Cha Jooeun.
Irene Kim was speechless. As for her manager, she was filled with anger. GK's actions were so fast that she didn't even get a chance to investigate Cha Jooeun's manager yet!
The entire industry already knew that Cha Jooeun had defeated Irene Kim. If she was to retaliate at this time, SM would draw too much attention and be attacked. So not only was there nothing she could do, she even had to wish Cha Jooeun all the best.
Who was Cha Jooeun's manager? He had actually managed to cleanly prevent Cha Jooeun from any incidences without giving them the tiniest of chance.
Irene Kim understood there was no chance of reversing the outcome of Mont Blanc's spokesperson, so she told her manager, "Let's immediately go home."
Her manager was unwilling to admit defeat, but at this moment, she was more occupied with being curious.
When did GK's managers become so difficult to deal with?
Not long after, Jooeun also saw the news. She suddenly had an inkling of who her manager might be. Not being able to make an appearance, yet still being able to deal with the situation so smoothly; who else could it be? Actually, Jooeun should have guessed a long time ago. Jeonghwan had already mentioned it in the past, but she did not take it to heart at that time. However, now that she thought about it, that man had it all planned out.
"Director Ji, who is Jooeun's manager? He's done so much behind-the-scenes, yet he hasn't once made an appearance. Are we playing hide and seek?" Minjung lost her patience as she looked at the news. She couldn't deny that he was capable, but not making an appearance even though he was her manager, was he trying to play games with them?
Changwook neatened his suit jacket and glanced at Jooeun. He realized she wasn't curious about this answer at all. He then smiled at Minjung and said, "He should be on his way. He was absent before because he still had other work to do. But Mont Blanc's contract has already been signed. So he is on his way to help Jooeun plan out her next step."
After speaking, Changwook remained silent for a few seconds before continuing. "Therefore, my work here is done. I have already booked an afternoon flight back to Seoul."
"That quick?"
"I still have a whole heap of PR news to release." Changwook quickly replied. However, Jooeun didn't sense any urgency in his voice at all.
"Fine then." Minjung did not say anything else because her flu was hitting her pretty badly.
Changwook glanced at Minjung and said, "Minjung-ah, you really need to find a man to take care of you."
"Screw you!"
Minjung threw a pillow at Changwook.
Actually, after spending some time with Changwook, one would quickly realize he was quite a charismatic person. Not only was he eloquent in his speech and known as the face of GK's PR, he also had a great sense of humor and appeared carefree. He was like that one student in class who would always fall asleep but still come out first. He did things with his own methods, got along with everyone, and was extremely likable.
Changwook smiled at the two women. After returning to his room, he grabbed his luggage and left the premises. As he left, he didn't even say goodbye.
Minjung watched Changwook leave from the window and turned to ask Jooeun. "Do you have any idea who your manager is?"
"I can roughly guess." Jooeun stood up from the sofa and retrieved some medicine from her suitcase for Minjung.
"Who is it?"
"What type of manager do you think Jeonghwan would arrange for me?" Jooeun asked Minjung, who was getting uncomfortably close. Jooeun pushed Minjung's germ-filled face away so she could stop breathing on her.
Minjung sat down on the bed and started analyzing. "He's definitely a capable person. That's why he managed to deal with this recent incident perfectly. He is someone that knows how to take care of you. In fact, he must be more thoughtful than Changwook. He needs to be extremely professional and needs to have a special understanding of you. Most importantly, he needs to have the ability to plan out your future."
Minjung listed all the requirements.
"In that case, who do you think is capable of satisfying all this?"
Minjung ran through all the names of GK's managers in her head and their faces. Although they were all capable, to completely meet Jooeun's requirements, there could only be one person.
"Himself."
Jooeun looked at Minjung like she had finally been enlightened. This was also the only answer she could think of.
At first, Minjung had no reaction. But after remaining stunned for a few seconds, she suddenly jumped off the bed and started shaking Jooeun's shoulders excitedly. "Is this real? Boss will personally be your manager? It's not a joke right?"
Minjung pressed firmly on her excited hands and nodded. "He mentioned it in the past, but I never expected he would actually do it."
In reality, it wasn't hard to see that Jooeun had a lot of worries and fears towards Jeonghwan being her manager. Firstly, his work was too busy, he couldn't possibly have enough time to run around with her. Plus, she didn't want him to be so tired.
"Then it must be real!" Minjung remained excited. How many people in this world would be able to have Jeonghwan as a manager? Only Jooeun! He wanted to manage his own wife.
"This isn't what I hoped for..."
Minjung understood what Jooeun was worried about, so she quietened down and smiled. "Don't worry, since Boss made this decision, he can definitely coordinate it with his own work. After all, he doesn't want you to worry. Plus, haven't you heard of this saying before? 'When a couple works together, work is no longer tiring'. Jooeun, think about it. You are born to be a model. As long as you are given the chance, you will definitely be able to create a miracle. All you are missing is a manager that can protect you, and the Boss possesses the ultimate power. If the two of you combine, wouldn't you be invincible?" Minjung winked at Jooeun with an unconcealable excitement.
"Look at the incident with Mont Blanc, isn't this the best proof? Just a few simple words from Boss was enough to make them reconsider their criteria. Isn't this enough to prove his capability? He is simply amazing! Above all, he is busy but he can also put down some of his power. Rather than letting him get tired in a place where you can't see him, why not keep him by your side? At least you can make sure he gets some rest, what's so bad about that? If you really feel that he is overworked and tired, you can always help him out. Between a husband and wife, what aren't you capable of?" Minjung asked.
