The Seven

Chapter 8: Jiyoo

On that day, all the clients were sitting in the chairs while they were brainstorming ideas for their next project based on the food they want to sell. Though, others prefer social media marketing, whereas only a few people would rather choose other productions.

"You want to advertise a pack of donuts with extra flavors and artificial sweeteners? Will that satisfy many customers' needs? Do you know that there are some who are diabetic and may have some food allergies?" The guy with nerdy glasses pointed out dully.

"I'm completely aware of that. But sugar is what we need in our lives, ya know," the brunette guy stated.

"Wow. How dumber can you get? Sugar is very bad for our health, so I suggest we go with healthier alternatives like honey," the girl with red hair said, scoffing.

"You mean vegan? Hah. No thanks," the blue-haired guy gritted his teeth in a grimace.

"Obviously. Being a vegan will change your lifestyle and make good choices," the red-haired girl said.

The black-haired guy decided to speak up. "What about creating a new set of interfaces where we can all use advanced social media wire-frames to simply connect with many users? Let's just say a bigger screen that we can step onto, which will activate our holograms?"

"And just how are we going to do that, Mr. Suckerberg?" The hazel-brown hair girl asked mockingly and continued on. "It's impossible if you think about it. More likely, the lamest idea I've ever heard. I would stick to the regular online communication."

"Excuse me?! But our generation is advancing to higher technology. This could totally change everything," the black-haired guy retorted defensively.

"Oh, please. The next thing that would've happened is robots taking over the world and it's already there," the hazel brown-hair girl said in exasperation.

"Yeah, you're adding too much stuff that will make people addicted to it, so why not do something that will save our planet instead of destroying it, you fool," the red-haired girl snorted out.

"What did you say, you bitch?!" the black-haired guy growled in annoyance.

"Enough!" A deep voice scolded boldly which caught their attention on him after getting startled at the moment.

He was wearing a black formal suit as he was fidgeting the pen in his hand. His eyes narrowed coldly towards their direction, making them frightened of how strict he is. Behind him indicates the signage of the Fairview Park Corporations where he was sitting directly at.

"All of your ideas are ludicrous. A big full of garbage. They are becoming redundant and mostly, pathetic," he banged his fist on the table, shocking them a little and yelping out as they squirmed in their seats. "If I ever hear another hogwash aim, I promise you I won't hesitate to kick you out of this company. Never again I will ever let you disgrace my father's name."

Everyone lowered their heads ruefully while they remained in silence, saying. "Sorry, sir."

He stared at his employees deadly and breathed out heavily as he slammed the pen on the side. He snapped his finger as he pointed to one of the guys in the back and demanded calmly. "You..."

"Me...?" The scrawny guy asked nervously.

"Yeah, you. Who else am I looking at? Now, show me what you got," he gestured while folding his hands together.

"Um... Okay, sir," the scrawny guy said faintly, standing up from his chair and turned on the projector screen as he cleared his throat. "My idea for this presentation is based on traveling." He then clicked on the button that shows the picture of Jeju Island and continued on. "This has brought many people together because of how peaceful and attractive it is. Not only it brings joy, fun, and anticipation, but it also brings memories. The most enjoyable part about Jeju Island is music since we want to live in that moment, not worrying about anything. That is why I'm presenting you a musical extravaganza show with all the lights, special effects, displays, and free surprising giveaways, including a photo booth to everyone. What is more important than spending time with your loved ones? Thank you."
