Chapter 149 145. Sweet potato

Perhaps because of its proximity to the sea, winter in Seoul is wetter and colder than in inland cities.

The Siberian cold wave in the north arrived unexpectedly. The strong winds that lasted for several days and a light snowfall last night caused the temperature to suddenly drop a few degrees.

The cold wind howled by, and the glass windows in the office shook slightly from time to time.

White mist curls up on the coffee cup.

Behind the desk, Gu Heng was silently processing the documents and materials at hand, while the mobile phone he put aside was playing the latest morning news.

"Our latest report is that according to insiders, Kakao CEO Kim Beom-soo, who has been involved in overseas gambling scandals recently, is currently in Manila, Philippines, negotiating with local politicians on future market cooperation matters, and will return to South Korea after the negotiation is completed.

"

"Regarding the gambling-related matter, a spokesman for Kakao stated that President Kim Beom-soo will sincerely accept the prosecutor's investigation after returning to South Korea, and will not make any further response until the prosecutor completes the investigation."

"In an interview with this station, Congressman Ko Kwok-ho said that as a figure with huge influence on the younger generation, Kim Beom-soo's behavior will have a huge negative impact. If the prosecutor and court do not punish her severely, it will seriously damage the younger generation."

Gu Heng paused and frowned.

He reached out and pressed pause on the phone screen, and made a call on the landline.

"Hello, may I ask?" Lin Zhixun's voice came from the landline.

"It's me, Gu Heng."

"You suddenly used the landline, I really didn't react."

"Have you seen the morning news?"

"Not yet. I was dealing with some things just now. Is there any new action over there?"

"Well, let's listen."

Gu Heng pulled back the progress bar on his phone a short distance and placed it on the side of the phone.

After a while, he pressed pause again, "What do you think?"

"I'm afraid if I really get carried away by using the topic," Lin Zhixun's voice was solemn.

"The risk is not small." Gu Heng took the warm coffee next to him and took a sip.

In South Korea, when sentencing multiple gambling crimes, the judicial system often considers the impact of the offender's behavior.

Last year, a well-known variety show host received a heavy sentence for this.

"Yes, by the way, President Jin has initially agreed to Jingsheng's conditions and proposals."

"Okay, I get it,"

Gu Heng responded, but did not say anything more. He just turned to ask, "How was the investigation of the previous matter?"

"The media and newspapers related to SK and CJ have not shown any obvious bias in the relevant reports. I guess they are waiting for us." Lin Zhixun sighed, "Should I have someone contact them? We are too passive now.

Already."

Kakao, which only controls the social communication and part of the game market, has little power to resist public opinion and social media.

"Well, it's time to take some action," Gu Heng knocked on the table, "please take the initiative to show your kindness to NAVER."

"NAVER?"

"Those people must first think about the possible consequences of not lending a helping hand, otherwise they will not give in and compromise, but cut off the flesh."

"I understand, I hope there is enough time."

After a few more exchanges, Gu Heng hung up the phone.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the office door.

After Gu Heng's response, Li Ran pushed the door open and entered.

Putting the two hot sweet potatoes in his hand on Gu Heng's table, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect people here also eat roasted sweet potatoes. The ones I bought just now are still warm."

"When did you come back? Didn't I give you a week's leave?" Gu Heng looked at the steaming sweet potatoes and was a little surprised.

A few days ago, when winter was about to begin, he promised Li Ran a week's leave to return to China to visit relatives.

And it's only the fifth day now.

Li Ran made a sound, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said while handing the documents to Gu Heng,

"I've been at home for four days, that's about it. It's better to come back here to be quieter."

Gu Heng glanced at him and took it calmly, "Quiet? It looks like the house is very unclean?"

Li Ran twitched the corners of his lips, couldn't help but sigh, and complained in a low voice, "I have been home for four days, only one day off, and the remaining three days were spent on blind dates. I really can't stand it anymore. I hope that I will be here twenty-three years ago."

I don’t want to fall in love, but I also hope that I can let them have a grandchild when I am twenty-five years old, and don’t think about this reality.”

"I see," Gu Heng chuckled and looked down at the document he sent, "Huh? This is the casting list?"

"Yes, Director Kim Jong Hak has screened some actors for "High Quality Unrequited Love" and "Queen of Evaluation" these days. This is part of the list of candidates for invitation. The formal auditions will begin in a few days, so I want you to take a look first.

.”

"Okay, I'll take a look at it later." Gu Heng was about to put it away when he caught a glimpse of a name on it.

"What does this mean?" Gu Heng's tone was subtle.

"No, no, I asked specifically," Li Ran waved his hand repeatedly, "The director thinks that iu's character design is more suitable for this role, and his popularity in China is also good, so he wants to invite me, not because of you, boss.

relation."

Gu Heng turned to the next page, looked at the character introduction, and pondered silently, "A simple and ordinary girl who is not tainted by money, status, and utilitarianism in the world."

Not to mention other things, just the little thoughts that the girl comes up with one after another every day, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with innocence, right?

Gu Heng shook his head, "Forget it, I understand."

"That"

"Just follow the director's wishes." Gu Heng waved to him.

"Okay, I'll leave first. Remember to eat the sweet potatoes while they're hot."

Holding back his laughter, Li Ran left the office.

Because when this happened, Gu Heng felt a little uneasy.

After flipping through the documents, he looked behind him.

Ah beep! Ah beep!

The phone vibrated several times in succession.

【yoona】:Knock knock knock!

【yoona】: I have made a reservation for the restaurant at noon.

【yoona】:picture.jpg

【yoona】: This is the menu I found online. Take a look and see what you want to eat~

After looking at the time in the upper right corner of the screen, Gu Heng had a smile on his face.

After telling Lin Yoona about having dinner with Sunny a few days ago, she chose this Thai restaurant.

[Gu Heng]: It’s only ten o’clock in the morning, do you have to start preparing lunch?

【yoona】: Well, I’m hungry (I touched my stomach to make sure)

【yoona】:Seeing stars.jpg

Gu Heng chuckled softly in the office.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two hot sweet potatoes on the table. He raised his hand to take a photo and was about to send it to Lin Yuner.

【yoona】: Moreover, it has been six days and twenty-three hours since we last met.

Gu Heng stopped sending pictures.

After thinking for two seconds, he put the two sweet potatoes that were still hot into a small bag, stuffed the unread documents into his briefcase, and pulled on a long coat.

Five minutes later.

In the car, Gu Heng breathed into his hands and immediately stepped on the accelerator.

If you can go six days without seeing each other, then you might as well not see him for seven days.
