The Famous Millionaire

Chapter 263

Chapter 263

As Duyoung’s assistant, the boy felt it repugnant that the man harshly branded Duyoung as a shameless person.

But the man had been trying to bring the boy to his side for several months already, and the boy began to doubt his teacher gradually.

“On what ground are you blaming him?” asked the boy.

Only then did the man explain the boy about what happened between himself and Duyoung in the past. And it did happen over 20 years ago.

“At that time, Duyoung was a successful businessman, and I was his right-hand man.”

According to the man, Duyoung’s trust in him was very strong then. And he trusted and followed Duyoung. He firmly believed that when Duyoung could make a success, he could also succeed.

But Duyoung betrayed him. He got away with a huge sum of money when his business went bankrupt for his own survival. Because of this, he had to go through a very hard life.

The boy still could not believe what he said because he knew a bit about Duyoung’s past.

“I heard Duyoung had a traffic accident. And after his business collapsed, he led a miserable life.”

“I know his traffic accident. But it’s a lie that he led a miserable life. He was hiding a lot of money. How can he make such a fortune without that?”

“That’s because his business was...”

“You’re now completely taken in. Believe me, he began to use some of the money he had hidden so far. Duyoung is the most heinous and mean guy in this world. Don’t be fooled by him!”

The boy often found himself swayed by his repeated criticism of Duyoung.

“Do you have any specific evidence against him?”

“Can you believe me if I can show you how I was close to Duyoung?”

The boy still could not reply easily.

The man pressed on his reply, saying

“Think of this. Why am I slandering Duyoung like this if I were not his right-hand man who respected and followed him a lot? It’s because he is such a mean guy.”

The boy seemed to be persuaded by what he just said.

“Okay, let me prove to you that I was his right-hand man. Instead, you have to keep to yourself our meeting today as well as the fact that you and I know each other. Got it?”

The boy was still confused, but he wanted to confirm if he was lying or not.

He slowly nodded his head.

The Shanghai branch was doing great. Hyunwoo noticed a bright student named Woon Jang, so he chose him as the temporary CEO for the branch.

Woon was excellent in creating a good working atmosphere. He gave cash rewards to those staff who were competent and worked hard.

Thanks to his efforts, the Shanghai branch performed best out of the four branches in China and India.

Hyunwoo gave Woon 150 yuan as cash reward. Converted in Korean won, it amounted to 270 million won.

Actually, he received half of that amount last month.

Woon’s jaw dropped at the huge sum of reward.

“Huh! I see the reward is so big...”

“As you know, Chinese Thanksgiving Day is around the corner. So, I gave your branch a little more cash reward this time. Haha.”

Hyunwoo had lunch with the Shanghai staff.

There were lots of large restaurants in China, but none of them could accept as many as 400 people at one time, so he only selected 20 ranking staff for the lunch.

Instead, he made reservations for the remaining students at high-end restaurants.

In the afternoon, he visited the factory in which he invested. He invested a total of 17 billion won in three factories near Shanghai.

Finally, it became dark.

Hyunwoo headed for the hotel Yu Zuung checked in. He already made a reservation by calling the hotel from Korea.

He felt like a minute was like three years, waiting for her in the hotel room. He checked the time every minute.

After waiting for a while, Yu Zuung arrived at the hotel. It had been almost 15 days that he saw her last time.

As soon as they saw each other, they didn’t even say ‘Hi’.

Instead, they touched each other with every fiber of their body. That was the kind of greeting method that Hyunwoo and Yu Zuung wanted most from each other.

Regardless of who was doing what first, they quickly hugged each other, took off their clothes and had sex.

Hyunwoo was as happy as ever. It seemed as if he worked like hell for this moment for the past 15 days.

That was the same for Yu Zuung. Though she was busy touring many countries in Asia as a singer and dancer, she felt an irresistible yearning for Hyunwoo all along.

So, she always wanted him to fly to her place and wait for her, and when he did, she made passionate love to him.

After they made hot love like that for an hour, they began to talk.

“How have you been?” said Hyunwoo.

“Pretty good. How about you, honey?” she asked.

“I like that word, honey. Haha.”

Hyunwoo told her a lot of stuff including the new songs by Jinhon and Angela as well as the fast growth of Ani & Funny.

She seemed happy. She was happy because his business was doing well, but she seemed more happy because of the fact that she was talking to him like this.

“Wow, how come Ani & Funny’s success rate is so high? I hear other animation companies hardly see one out of ten works making a hit. It looks like Ani & Funny’s success rate is 100%.”

It was natural that she was quite surprised. As she said, the success rate of Ani & Funny was 100%. So far, not a single production by Ani & Funny failed.

There were six animation works including ‘Tuti & Angelica’ and ‘Iron Worm’ that hit gold as much as Garbage World, and another five works also made a big hit.

There were more than 1,000 types of picture books based on animation works, which generated more than 30 billion won per month.

Hyunwoo smiled at her surprised look.

“In fact, I have a man with a very special ability beside me,” said Hyunwoo.

“A man with a special ability?”

“He instantly identifies the success or failure of any animation once he reviews it. How can I fail with such a man beside me?”

“Wow! I can’t believe that. Who is he? Do I know him?”

Hyunwoo shook his head. As he is not a member of Ani & Funny, she might not know him even if Hyunwoo disclosed his name.

“Actually, you don’t know this man. In fact, he doesn’t know that he has such a special ability.”

“Oh, that’s interesting. How can that be possible?”

Hyunwoo told her some episodes about Yenam Noh. Though Hyunwoo didn’t reveal Yenam’s real name to her, he told her everything about Yenam.

While he was talking, she wriggled her body on his with a merry laugh, which turned him on.

Hyunwoo was just happy with her. It seemed like a dream to him to talk with her, touch her body and hear her laughing.

“By the way, how come you are making so much money for what?”

As if to ask her not to worry, Hyunwoo told her how he spent money. In fact, he invested some of the money in high-potential companies as well as students and gave some to his staff as a bonus.

Recently, he established a massive investment plan with respect to the expansion of Haenim School. He would right away start working on it as soon as he secured a lot with 10,000-pyong as National Assemblyman Chulwoo Chung promised.

His investment in Haenim School would not stop there. He planned to set up a special college with several purposes, so that the students could continue their studies after graduation.

Besides, he planned an alternative school for middle school students.

So, he asked some acquaintances in the real estate dealings to buy a lot near Tapgokri, Sosan City.

There was no limit to the size of the lot. If the sellers offered a reasonable price, he would buy it, be it 100,000 pyong or one million pyong.

He didn’t need to worry about a surplus lot. He had a plan on the construction of an amusement park modelled on the characters of Ani & Funny works.

Yu Zuung opened her eyes with surprise while listening to his explanation.

“Wow! That’s a very nice plan. Can you set up a similar alternative school in Vietnam? I would like to donate if you can.”

Hyunwoo’s eyes opened wide. He has never thought about it.

“Oh, that sounds good. Let me build a Haenim School campus in Vietnam. If I can, let me build another one in China, too.”

***

A middle-aged man visited Haenim School.

As soon as he arrived, he introduced himself as a longtime acquaintance of Duyoung Jang and looked for him.

Hearing that, Duyoung came out of his research room and looked at the man quietly.

Obviously that man was familiar to him. But Duyoung could not easily recall who he was.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“My, you must be Insan, right?”

“Haha, yes, brother. How are you?”

This man, called Insan, walked up to Duyoung and hugged him. Duyoung was also so happy to see him again in such a long time that he didn’t let go of him for a while.

Insan Park was a close friend as well as a colleague of Duyoung’s since their college days. He was there beside Duyoung when the latter worked on green oil and started a business.

But he lost contact with Duyoung when the latter’s oil business went bankrupt and had a traffic accident.

“How have you been so far? Are you doing alright these days?” asked Duyoung.

“I just get by. How about you?”

In a cheerful mood, Insan and Duyoung exchanged pleasantries like that for a while.

Insan was pretty interested in Haenim School.

“I heard the students here were extraordinary. I would like to see them. Can you introduce them to me?”

“Of course.”

Duyoung called together the students. And Insan introduced himself to them, emphasizing repeatedly that he was Duyoung’s close friend and colleague as well as his right-hand man.

Insan exchanged greetings with them gladly. Both Insan and Duyoung were just happy while mingling with them.

As a result, Duyoung didn’t realize the fact that one of the students was making a pretty serious expression on his face while looking at him and Insan.
