The Famous Millionaire

Chapter 125

Hyunwoo just scratched his head because he couldn’t meet Kwangsoo’s request. It was even more difficult to reject it, though.

After a bit of hard thinking, Hyunwoo said, “Can’t you just care about it?”

At the moment, Kwangsoo seemed to get wind of something, “Do you know that person very well?”

“Yes, but she doesn’t want to be on air.”

Hyunwoo explained to him about her situation. Of course, he didn’t say that the ‘angel without a face’ was his mother.

However, Kwangsoo began to persuade him now.

“You can’t hide her even if you want. I already sense this is a big story, and there are many smarter than me in this field. In particular, the reporters are all the more so.”

Kwangsoo’s remarks were persuasive.

By now, the Jamohoe and the owners of the snack houses might have started a meeting on the best solution to the snack problem.

Kwangsoo continued, “I’m sure someone else will surely try to cover it, if not me. Given the choice, you think I’m a better candidate, right? Is there anybody else who knows your situation better than me?”

After all, Hyunwoo confided to him, “She is my mother.”

“What? Your mother?”

Stunned, Kwangsoo shouted before he knew it as if he was screaming.

In fact, Kwangsoo was aware that she stopped the side dish restaurant and opened breakfast box business called Hyunwoo’s Mom, but he never expected that the angel without a face was Hyunwoo’s mother.

“Wow, this is a big scoop. I have a very good idea, man.”

“What is it?”

“As for the filming project in Vietnam, I think we can have it on air by using the angel without a face.”

This was Kwangsoo’s idea.

First of all, it was important to hide the identity of the angel without a face for as long as possible. Then, the general public would naturally have an interest in it. At that moment, he would leak it out to the broadcasting companies, which would instantly make them scramble to identify who the angel without a face is. With that kind of atmosphere created, Hyunwoo would reveal her identity with one condition: they would have to air a special program on Kwangsoo’s filming project in Vietnam.

Hyunwoo giggled to hear that.

He was not sure whether the broadcasting companies would be interested in the angel without a face, and more than anything else, he didn’t want to make use of the food sanitation issue like that. He felt the purpose of the drive to improve the food sanitation situation should be pure.

“I think that’s too opportunistic a method.”

“Hey, dude. Why are you so innocent? In this world, we all rely on each other. Don’t think that’s a bad thing.”

Still, Hyunwoo was not persuaded, but Kwangsoo wouldn’t budge a bit. After all, Hyunwoo moved one step back and said, “Okay, then. Please make a good video of the Vietnam project first. I think I can think about your idea later.”

“Got it. Anyway, try to think of my idea in the positive way. It’s never a bad thing to make use of it.”

After the call, Hyunwoo called Sungrak this time.

As soon as he picked up the phone, Hyunwoo got to the point immediately.

“You’re supposed to fly to Vietnam next Tuesday. Have you gotten your passport?”

“I hear they’re issuing it this coming Thursday. Next Tuesday? That soon?”

“The sooner, the better. Let me get the ticket for you.”

“Yes, sir.”

Hyunwoo called Hyunwoo Youngran.

Youngran gladly picked up the phone, “Wow, I think I’m going to have a lot of luck as I hear your voice often these days.”

“Hahaha. Yea, I’m the one who brings luck to you. I’ve got a favor to ask of you.”

He asked her to get two tickets to Vietnam, and she agreed. After the speedy call, he came back to the office.

Team Manager Park Youngsu, who was reading a newspaper in the sofa, said loudly, uttering an exclamation, “Wow! There are still lots of warm-hearted men in this world. This angel without a face, I didn’t know here in Ansan we had such an angel without a face.”

The reason Youngsu said it like that was that he wanted his staff to pay attention to what he said.

His staff was tactful enough to gather around him immediately.

“Did you see a good story?”

“Angel without a face?”

Youngsu showed them a local newspaper. Though Hyunwoo was already aware of it, he just went to the trouble of seeing it, pretending not to know at all.

Youngsu read part of the article to them, and they were deeply moved.

“I feel just good without any particular reason.”

“Yea, there are many such people in Ansan.”

Everyone praised the angel without a face. Naturally, they wanted to know who it was.

Hyunwoo felt good to see their reaction, and he thought Kwangsoo’s idea was not that bad.

In the meantime, Hyunoo was busy transferring his duties to his successor.

This week was the last one he would be at Aurum, but there was still a lot of work to do.

“This time let me explain to you about refunds.”

Hyunwoo brought up a new topic, but his successor was astonished at that.

“Refunda? Wasn’t this the last of your job duties to transfer to me? You’ve got so much stuff to transfer to me. How awful are you planning to be to your successor?”

His successor felt bitter against Hyunwoo, but Hyunwoo just scratched his head, just feeling sorry for his successor even though he didn’t do anything wrong.

In the meantime, there were several people gathered at Ansan High School in the principal’s office. The meeting with the Jamohoe was arranged at the request of the snack house owners.

Surprisingly, among the participants were not only Ansan High School’s Jamohoe but also people from Ansan Girls’ High School, Ansan Middle School, and Ansan Elementary School. Hyunwoo’s mother Han Jisook was also present.

It was the ex-marine who spoke first.

“We’ll accept all of your conditions, but we have to increase the price of the snacks. We hope you can persuade your children to understand that well.”

“It’s only natural the price will go up with the improvement in quality.”

“We’ve got another issue here. We buy most of the snacks from the factories, and we can’t visit there for sanitary inspection, so please take care of that inspection on your end. We will just pay attention to selling snacks.”

“We know that. That’s why we’re all together like this. If we act all together, we can put pressure on them. Owner of Hyunwoo’s Mom here promised she would support our efforts.”

Only then did the representative of Jamohoe introduce Han Jisook.

One of the snack house owners asked her,”Are you supplying the food to other schools at the cost of production?”

“Well, I can’t sell at a loss, but I don’t want to sell for profits to schools.”

“I don’t think it is that easy to prepare such an enormous amount of food for the students. You’re really great.”

“Well, I’m going to do it until the food sanitary inspection is in place. It’s just a brief period. Though I’m tired physically, I’m working in a happy mood, so I’m okay.”

Hearing her explanation, they all felt relieved.

“Got it. We will receive your sanitary inspection on a regular basis. From now on, we’re going to sell fresh and good food, anyway.”

Jamohoe of each school thought that it was a good outcome, and they left after vowing to act together in the future.

Ahn Sunwoo quickly moved to make a press release on the outcome of the meeting.

As soon as he completed a draft, he raced to the principal’s office for approval.

“Excellent! I hear from our young teachers here that our school is the most talked about at the moment on the internet.”

“Yes, the credit goes to the angel without a face, of course.”

“Thanks a lot for your hard work, Mr. Ahn.”

Sunwoo handed the press release to the press room of Ansan City.

The press room of Ansn City was pretty slow as a rule. Though there were many reporters, there were not many who went around to get the scoop. Then, they got this press release from Ansan High School a few days ago.

The contents were rather sensational. Namely, Ansan High School was launching a campaign to have the snack houses in front of the school make more efforts for better food to prevent the repetition of the recent food poisoning incident, and there was the story about the angel without a face in it.

In fact, the reporters didn’t pay any attention to it initially because press releases issued by official places were usually exaggerated. They felt this had to be the same. Still, they could not ignore it, so they published the story in the corner of the general news page. They were more focused on cracking down on the food vendors selling bad snacks.

Then, they received another press release this afternoon.

A veteran reporter took a look at it and then couldn’t help but laugh, “Ansan High School sent us another press release. I think one is enough, but they sent it again. Hummm.....wait a minute, Uh?”

The reporter, who was reading it casually, hardened his face a bit.

And then he shouted before he knew it, “Scoop!”

“Did you say scoop now?” asked one reporter.

“What’s it about?” asked another.

At the word of ‘scoop,’ other reporters in the press room instantly gathered to check out the press release.

It was similar to the previous one, but there was something different this time.

It was about the decision by several schools to act together for safe food.

What was more surprising was that not only the members of Jamohoe from several schools, but also several snack house owners acted together.

To be a good reporter, one should know which topics the people would be most enthusiastic about, and this time, the news about the safe food movement of the schools and the snack house owners was something that all people would feel happy about and celebrate.

However, the press release was pretty much tailored to the taste and needs of the school, full of their own achievements, so the truth hidden in the press release was the real scoop for them.
