The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 187+188

Ch 187:

"······A talk show?"

"Yeah, it's 'Afternoon Cafe' produced by S Company... Do you know it?"

Yoo Yeon-seo receives reports from Cha Yun-ho every morning. These documents are detailed analyses not only of trends in the film industry but also in drama, variety shows, and the broadcasting industry as a whole. They include everything from current internet opinions to rumors circulating in the entertainment industry.

"I know. Wasn't the response good up until season 1?"

'Afternoon Cafe' initially gained a lot of viewers by featuring not only celebrities but also citizen heroes and people from less-known professions, discussing a wide range of topics.

However, the problem began when the PD changed and the show started again as season 2. It didn't generate the same buzz as season 1, and viewership ratings gradually declined. Now, there are even talks of cancellation, as noted in the report.

"But why is that?"

"I think they were shooting nearby. The writer recognized me and asked if I could make a surprise appearance while pretending to pass by······."

Lee Tae-kyum scratched his head awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable.

He had no intention of accepting the request in the first place. In fact, he was trying to escape the situation, nervous at the thought of Im Seung-hyun's disapproving expression.

(This must be that rumored secretary? Good. Could you both talk to Yeon-seo about this?)

(Um, you know... Even if we convey the message, our actor has to be willing...)

(But surely, wouldn't they listen to you two who have been working with them for a long time? Please, just convey the message this one time.)

(We need to leave now...)

(Manager! No, sir! Please save our program!)

But Ryu, the writer for 'Afternoon Cafe,' persistently followed them, pleading for just one chance to make the request.

He followed them all the way to here, making a last-ditch effort before finally retreating with a look of lingering regret. He even managed to slip his business card into Lee Tae-kyum's pocket.

"All they wanted was for you to say a word. If you're not interested, you can just go home."

"Ah······."

Lee Tae-kyum had sent someone out to watch for suspicious individuals, but he never imagined they'd end up with such an unexpected schedule. Seeing Yoo Yeon-seo's displeased expression, Lee Tae-kyum quickly shook his head and spoke up.

"There's no one around here who should concern you. Even Seung-hyun hyung knows that."

"Young master, you must do it."

"Huh? Hyung, why are you suddenly saying that?"

Wasn't he against it? Lee Tae-kyum looked up at Im Seung-hyun in surprise. But Im Seung-hyun stared at Yoo Yeon-seo with a serious expression.

What's this? This person usually isn't so easily worked up····· I should at least hear the reason.

"Why?"

"Today, someone claiming to look like you will appear on the show."

The dreadful person mentioned by the representative? But Im Seung-hyun shouldn't have any personal reason to be upset about this, right? Im Seung-hyun had shown concern for the health of his younger sibling and the apprehension of the person who killed Lee Hee-seo, but he hadn't crossed any boundaries regarding work.
