That was why she had texted her earlier asking for a hug.
As soon as she thought about it, Lisa quickly called Lee Joon Gi's private phone number.
This was the phone that Lee Joon Gi would definitely answer regardless of what situation he was in. At this exact moment, Lee Joon Gi was still abroad, and he was in the middle of a meeting in the conference room when he received the call from Lisa. He made a pause gesture before apologizing to the other members in the meeting, "I am sorry for the interruption, but a family member is calling me. I have to take this call."
After that, Lee Joon Gi left the conference room and answered Lisa's call. After hanging up on Lisa, he immediately called Hae-in using his work phone.
"I just heard that Irene has been robbed of her role. What exactly is going on?" Lee Joon Gi asked in a clearly dissatisfied tone.
He had only been away for a few days and yet, there were already people who were trying to take matters into their own hands.
"Chairman Lee, the reason I have tried calling you more than a dozen times was because I wanted to report this matter to you. Irene has indeed been replaced with another actress. I had only found out about it after the official announcement of the cast was released on our official website. The vice chairman was the one who had decided that Irene was to be switched out of the role. He said that the investors wanted a new actress named Kim So-hyun instead of Irene to take the role of Ah-reum. I had no way to stop it from happening," Hae-in briefly explained.
"He is getting very courageous nowadays, isn't he?" Lee Joon Gi sneered. "If the investors do not like the actress that we have given the role to, then we can always look for other investors. Ace Media does not lack in funding or the number of investors who are interested to fund our drama productions. Ask the new actress who was given the role to go back to where she officially belongs. Release the audition list and results for to the public and suspend the vice chairman from his duties until I return. The role of Ah-reum should be given back to Irene."
"But Chairman Lee, I feel that it would only invite more criticisms if we gave the role back to Irene at this time," Hae-in quickly replied. "It would only work to her disadvantage. I think that it is more appropriate for us to deal with this matter separately."
"Then, what are Irene's thoughts about this? Was she shocked when she saw the announcement?"
"She seems to have gotten used to being robbed of her role. Furthermore, she has her own plans and ideas for herself. I am also fighting for a better role for her right now," Hae-in replied flatly.
"Alright then. I want you to conduct another audition to select a new actress to take on the role of Ah-reum. I will leave that girl into your hands now. Make sure that you make the best decisions for her. I will handle all the matters relating to Ace Media when I return. To think that Irene would encounter this situation with the first role that she had obtained in Ace Media when I had just boasted about how fair and just the company was in front of her. I did not even know how to respond to Lisa when he called me and questioned me about the situation," Lee Joon Gi said angrily. "It is such a pity though, because I think that she is really suitable for the role."
"Sort out this matter for me right now. It would only be fair to Irene if we did this."
Hae-in knew how precious Ace Media was to Lee Joon Gi and he knew how much he hated people who did things behind his back. It was not the first time that the vice chairman had done something like this, but Lee Joon Gi had previously always simply let it go as he knew that the vice chairman had also done a lot for the company. However, there were only so many times that he could accept this kind of attitude.
