Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553 - 619: Welcoming Chairman Zhou Hui [2]
"If you don’t mind whether they’re pure or not, I can also find partners in Korea."
"Hmm?"
Just as Zhou Wang was about to explain, he swallowed his words, his tone surprised, "Do you have connections like that?"
"Not me, actually. I had a childhood friend from high school, and after she graduated, she didn’t get into college. So, she directly became a model. Well, her private life is much messier than mine, but she’s very beautiful and knows many gorgeous models, and even idols..."
Cui Min’er spoke subtly, but Zhou Wang already understood.
As long as the price is right, not only is playing mahjong easy, but even hosting a real silver party can be done with ease.
Cui Min’er is indeed very clear about her position, and she restrained her arrogance in front of Zhou Wang; her cautious attempts to please were almost written on her face.
But Zhou Wang didn’t respond to her suggestion, not because he was disinterested, but because now as the president of one of the top three entertainment companies in Korea, does he need anyone’s help for such resources?
With a mere wave of his hand, forget about the bottom-tier model celebrities, even top-tier artists would line up for his favor.
However, Cui Min’er was evidently unaware of this, and Zhou Wang saw no need to show off in front of her. In Cui Min’er’s mind, she still purely believed Zhou Wang came to Korea specifically for her...
Ten minutes later.
The plane crossed the city sky and gradually landed at Seoul’s Incheon International Airport.
After bidding farewell to the crew and boarding the shuttle bus to the terminal building, Zhou Wang casually threw a fragrant scarf, given by a flight attendant with her personal contact details, into a trash can.
He thought this flight attendant named Du Jie was pretty clever and considered recruiting her into his private crew, but that was all.
If it were a usual quick fling, it would be fine. It’s just because they might work together in the future, involving the physical is unsuitable... Though Zhou Wang was still fond of beauty, he was becoming much more mature in considering these issues.
Women like Xu Wenqian and Jiang Qingkui who work for him are not suitable for developing love relationships unless there is the miracle tool like the [Resume].
Walking out of the terminal, Zhou Wang’s travel entourage was impressive.
Aside from Cui Min’er playing the role of a vase, there was Sura acting as his life assistant. After all, being overseas lacks the security of being at home, so Xiao Wang brought a few more people.
In the bodyguard team, aside from Gao Xing, Qu Peining, and Xiao Wang, Xiao Si to Xiao Qi were all on board, currently wearing black windbreakers and guarding Zhou Wang on both sides, resembling a celebrity airport scene due to Korea’s unique idol culture and Zhou Wang’s quite handsome appearance, attracting quite a crowd for photos and spectators...
Having appeared on Korea’s trending searches before, Zhou Wang opted for discretion by wearing sunglasses and a mask, not caring much about the gazes around him, as it’s unlikely anyone would recognize him.
Under Sura’s phone calls, the party quickly arrived at the exit, only to find a bigger scene there.
Under the astonished eyes of passersby, a long black car fleet quietly occupied all the parking spaces at the airport entrance, behind them were all Land Rovers, the front was a car with a badge resembling Bentley but looked distinguishable when inspected closely.
Zhou Wang recognized the brand called Genesis; in Korea, its status is equivalent to "Hongqi" in China, a representative of Korean local luxury brands.
The price isn’t too steep. The top model had an estimated conversion to RMB of just over a million, but due to the local sentiment bonus, many financial tycoons opt for it as their ride.
At the front of the convoy, two rows of suited young men stood tall and burly, imposing in appearance; the back row held banners with large Korean characters.
"What does it say?"
Not recognizing Korean, Zhou Wang directly asked Cui Min’er beside him.
At this time, Cui Min’er was already shocked, probably unable to fathom how Zhou Wang could stage such an extravaganza in her country, subconsciously answering:
"Translated to Chinese, it roughly means ’Welcome Chairman Zhou’s arrival in Seoul’... um, darling you..."
Being unconsciously respectful, Cui Min’er used the honorific she called last night in bed, looking at Zhou Wang with surprise and uncertainty.
"Oh, nothing much. Before coming here, I acquired a company in Seoul, just thought it might be convenient here."
"..."
For a moment, Cui Min’er didn’t know what to say.
If it’s a casual acquisition, the company should not be too large, but bringing out so many people doesn’t look like a small company...
Zhou Wang didn’t explain much further, confirmed they found the right group and led everyone around him towards the convoy.
From afar, all the suited young men already bent down, respectfully saying in unison: "Chairman!"
Approaching from the front were two men and one woman, the woman wearing black stockings and heels was evidently the secretary, and the two middle-aged men in front showed enthusiastic smiles, bowed, and warmly shook hands with Zhou Wang.
"Chairman, I’m An Qixian!"
"Hello, Chairman Zhou, I’m Jin Zhijie..."
Having already checked YG Entertainment’s information in advance, Zhou Wang knew the identities of these two. One was the vice-chairman, the other the president managing daily operations.
As a giant in the entertainment industry, with YG Entertainment’s scale, the company executives were surely more than just these two, but only they showed up at the moment.
Zhou Wang didn’t bother with others’ intentions; this saved a lot of trouble; otherwise, pleasantries alone might have delayed the arrival by half a day.
"Why does this look like a mob meetup with so many people?"
Zhou Wang glanced around, jokingly remarked.
Upon hearing this, Chairman An and President Jin’s expressions were noticeably awkward, forcing a laugh as they invited Zhou Wang into the car.
Zhou Wang, unfazed, waited until he sat in the Genesis’s rear seat, then Gao Xing and Qu Peining took over the front driver’s and passenger’s seats, before bewildered, looking at Sura beside him, "Did I say something wrong?"
Sura, now equally bewildered, glanced out the window and whispered, "Boss, YG Entertainment naturally has mafia backgrounds..."
"What?"
Zhou Wang was taken aback.
"These weren’t written in the documents; Lawyer Wang and others told me over the phone, um... Mainly because YG Entertainment was founded with significant ties to a group called Nine Star Gang in Korea back then..."
After Sura explained with prior homework, Zhou Wang finally understood.
He had always thought Korean films were good just because they dared to be bold, especially his favorite movie called "New World," turns out it was inspired by reality...
According to Sura, in the 2000s, Korea had tens of thousands of gang members; even today, after numerous transformations, their official count of gang members still exceeds 10,000.
Note, this comes from police statistics, not online rumors...
The reality must be more exaggerated.
And the "Nine Star Gang" mentioned by Sura is one of Korea’s most notorious underground organizations, initially thriving in the logistics and fishery market, later branching into real estate and entertainment, now a major taxpayer, but it still doesn’t change its spine-chilling dark background.
Zhou Wang, after learning the inside story, felt quite troubled, no wonder those two had such awkward expressions earlier, probably thinking Zhou Wang was mocking them...
Wait, no, I’m now the chairman of YG Entertainment, if its background is really shady, then what does that make me?
Looking at the foreign scenery constantly receding, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but sink into deep reflection.
