Chapter 146

TM\'s CEO, Kim Seok-Hyung, had been feeling very uneasy since the day before. Feeling anxious always made him imagine only the worst outcomes.

"Damn it, why did that fella even take the bar exam? Don't tell me he wants to become a prosecutor or something?" Kim Seok-Hyung couldn't calm himself down; he paced back and forth in his office, muttering to himself. His right-hand man, Director Kwon, shook his head at this sight.

"I don't think that's the case. He has been doing very well these days, so why would he want to become a civil servant?"

"But you never know. If he can become a big prosecutor and gain a lot of power, what's so great about being just a celebrity? To put it bluntly, what if he chooses that path and goes into politics and then seeks revenge on us?"

"Does he have anything to seek revenge on? If it's about Blue Fit, that matter has already been resolved...." Director Kwon was about to say that even if Chae Woo-Jin might have ill feelings towards TM, he had no reason to seek revenge, but he paused. As CEO Kim's close aide, he too knew the real reason Chae Woo-Jin left TM. He was so focused on resolving Blue Fit's matter that he had momentarily forgotten about that piece of fact, and it had just come to his mind.

"I highly doubt it. It's disgraceful for him after all." Even if Woo-Jin was still holding a grudge against Kim Seok-Hyung, it wouldn't benefit either one of them to dig it up again.

"That's not true. On the contrary, it could be an opportunity to build his reputation. Who knows if he wants to destroy us and say that he resisted the temptation and made it so far by himself?"

Kim Seok-Hyung\'s impassioned speech wasn't entirely far-fetched. Even if it wasn't about that particular issue, as long as Woo-Jin held a grudge against them, he could find as many cases as he wanted. Woo-Jin's recent act of approaching Lee Hyung-Jin was somewhat suspicious as well.

"If that guy had set his heart on politics in the first place instead of wanting to be just a celebrity,

wouldn't his actions thus far make sense to a certain extent? So why bother being a celebrity? Just work your ass off and take the bar exam!"

The more Kim Seok-Hyung thought about it, the more he was convinced that Chae Woo-Jin's goal was to get into politics rather than become a celebrity. If Woo-Jin were to go into politics after having years of experience as a prosecutor under his belt, coupled with his current popularity, he would most likely create a stir and become very successful.

Director Kwon might have disparaged prosecutors as mere civil servants, but prosecutors could gain a great deal of power as they climbed the ranks. How could a mere celebrity be compared to a politician who had won the public's affection and risen to a high position? Kim Seok-Hyung had mocked Chae Woo-Jin for being unambitious, but the thought of him possibly being the most ambitious of them all sent a chill down his spine.

"Nevertheless, there's no need to worry about it in advance. Even if he becomes a prosecutor or a politician, what can we do about it?" Director Kwon casually dismissed CEO Kim's worries and reminded him that they too had strong connections backing them and there was nothing to be afraid of.

However, Kim Seok-Hyung couldn't let it go. He had done those things to Chae Woo-Jin, and always evaluated others using himself as a yardstick and tried to read their thoughts.

"More importantly, the fact that his maternal uncle used to be a prosecutor makes me feel uneasy."

"He must have been a public prosecutor. If he had been a powerful individual, would he have done nothing and let his nephew suffer at that time? Frankly, the Blue Fit issue had been discussed after Woo-Jin entered DS. It wasn't like it brought up by his maternal uncle. That uncle's probably not working for a big law firm at the moment; he might have just set up his own office and is currently working as a puny lawyer."

Even though Director Kwon had only said that to calm Kim Seok-Hyung's nerves, what he said did make quite a lot of sense. Judging from Chae Woo-Jin's circumstances at that time and how he couldn't properly fight back, it was apparent that either he wasn't on good terms with his uncle or that his uncle had no power.

"In that case, we don't have to worry about Chae Woo-Jin's family?"

"What's there to worry about? We also know several prosecutors ourselves."

After news about Chae Woo-Jin passing the second round of the bar exam broke out the previous day, people all over the internet had gotten curious about his family. The truth was bound to be revealed regardless of whether the netizens took matters into their hands and investigated it, but no details had been released thus far.
