Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 73(There Are Tigers In The Mountain)

A long time later, when Jisoo recalled those days filled with fire and fury, she realized that everything was happening exactly as Taehyung had expected. For instance, when DG promoted their second and third-tier brands after it set foot in Korea, or how DG brought ZAMON to the front line of the battlefield after Taehyung used the “fish in troubled waters” tactic. Or how the market was in a stalemate.

ZAMON was like a delicately beautiful crystal ball and was hung at the apex of the market. However, without even realizing it, DG had shown all its cards — funds, personnel, brand reputation and all the channels and resources SMQ had. Besides, DG tied the top-tier brands and the ordinary brands together.

If someone pushed them from the back, ZAMON and the whole of DG korea, would fall to the ground and be smashed. Lin Qian thought that it was time to do that.

Then an unexpected event occurred. DG had become the controlling shareholder of Old Layy. There was more than one thing following the misfortune.

Jisoo was lying in the bed of her apartment and was talking with Taehyung on the phone. “I’m so glad that Mr. Lee is okay,” she said tenderly, “I was startled by the news.”

Taehyung  was walking hurriedly to the gate for his flight to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and was dressed in business attire. The light was dimming in the night outside. He watched the plane arrive on the tarmac, and answered in a husky voice, “No need to be worried. I just got off the phone with him in the afternoon and he’s fine.”

“Um. Should I fly to visit him today?”

Taehyung stayed silent for a few seconds and said, “No need. Stay in Changsha for the time being.” Jisoo acquiesced.

She was upset not because of Taehyung’s response. She knew perfectly what he meant. Old Layover was in the hands of DG now and the news stunned Korea’s corporations and its media. Although Old layover only made up an insignificant part of layover Corporation, it still meant more to them than a business, but was a family business to the Lee’s. And for all the staff of layover, especially the long-time staff, it symbolized layover.(Remember that Taehyung is the only Kim in his family and the others are Lee, so it's the lee family buisness)

Layover Corporation, as the leader of the resistance against the acquisitions, now lost its family business. How could the public not talk about it? They would certainly have divergent opinions on it. Some said the board of layover had been compromised under the pressure of ZAMON and had reached a secret buyout contract with DG, and some said unity in layover was gone and it was divided into two sides. Of course, it was likely that some people were spreading rumors and exaggerating the situation.

Taehyung didn’t want her in Lin City to keep her away from all the trouble.

As for Jisoo, she was disappointed both because layover had been stabbed in its back, and because of her incapability to prevent it from happening. “Who sold the shares? Have you figured out yet?” she asked.

“Yes,” Taehyung looked up at the scene outside and became grave, “Apart from Park Jimin, Lee Chengyan and my sister-in law also.”

At the same time, Mr.Park Jimin , vice-chairman of Layover and universally considered the right hand of Taehyung, was visiting the flagship store of ZAMON in New York while wearing a casual outfit with sunglasses, together with staff from MK Investment Management Corporation and DG Corporation.

Before he went to America, he took a month’s vacation, leaving behind his resignation at the same time. And now, with all these people clustered around him, he looked extra vigorous and leisurely. “Mr. Park,” a manager from DG Corporation asked with a smile, “are you satisfied with this trip?”
