Chapter 121: A Face To Their Brand

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Is there anything else, Sir?" Kim Namjoon asked, typing the request into his tablet.

"What are the reports on RY ?" Park Jimin remembered the company as it was also an investment firm.

Kim Namjoon read off the notes on his tablet. "We've been monitoring them for two weeks now and their performance has been quite steady. But for two weeks, they haven't made a move." He thought it was strange that a company rising so fast would suddenly stop in its tracks. What happened?

"What are the past projects they've invested in?"

Kim Namjoon wasn't the one who looked into it, for he passed the task onto Kang Seulgi. So, when he read off the reports, he was slightly surprised at how many relations it had with Yang Corporation. "They've invested into Seoul Star Mall, Zhao Tropical Resort in Huxian, the collaboration between Kim Conglomerate and Yanv Corporation, Cerebus Technology which is a sub-branch developed by Yang Corporation in response to VP Ling Suho's desire of having the company diverse into different fields."

Park Jimin felt his eyes narrow. So many projects were aligned with Yang Corporation. Was RY a secret firm of theirs?

"Any news on who the founder is?"

"None. The company is very tight-lipped about it, however, there are rumors that he or she will be making a debut soon."

"Making a debut soon? Why?"

Kim Namjoon scrolled down on the table. "The company didn't mention the reason in their public announcement. But my guess is that there has been a lot of pressure from the media and collaborating companies. None of them have personally seen the face of the CEO and they probably need a face for their brand."

"Do they have any shady businesses? Any malpractices or under-the-table deals?" Park Jimin was beginning to grow more intrigued about the company's background. It was pretty new and came out of nowhere, yet it is able to continually climb higher and at an accelerated rate.

"I've checked with both the business and Underworld sources. As of right now, the company is squeaky clean," Kim Namjoon reported.

Park Jimin thought about his next plan and after a few seconds, he finally spoke up. "Contact them. I want a meeting with the CEO personally."

Kim Namjoon hesitated. Feili had a specific policy where their CEO wouldn't meet with anyone, regardless of which company was targeting them. They didn't flinch at the idea of dropping deals worth hundreds of millions just to keep the identity of the higher-ups hidden.

But then again, no one has ever rejected the personal request of Park Jimin . Whoever dared to would see their company drop within the month until their stock was practically worth nothing.

Even so, Kim Namjoon was nervous at failing his Boss. "Sir, they have a strict policy—"

"Find a way to bypass it." Park Jimin wanted to meet the CEO in person.

He wanted to test and see if they were a valuable asset to collaborate with. Personally seeing the CEO would allow him to judge the character of him or her, as people usually had a very hard time lying to him face-to-face.

Park Jimin excelled in reading through people if they were foolish enough to lie to him. Besides, it wouldn't be bad for RY to collaborate with Yang Enterprise since it was the dream of many companies, regardless of their rank.

Kim Namjoon slightly frowned at his boss's stubbornness. It seems he would need to exert a lot of his time and power into this request...

"Yes, Sir." He glumly replied, reluctantly typing the order into his tablet.

Park Jimin looked at his overworked secretary and thought back to a couple of weeks ago when Kim Namjoon was smart enough to lock the little kitty in the office. "For your competence a couple of weeks ago, I'll raise your bonus for this month and the next one." He coolly said.

"Really?" Kim Namjoon asked, delighted at the news. His eyes twinkled with excitement at the things he could do and buy with the bonus.

"Did I stutter?" Park Jimin queried, opening his laptop and shifting his attention to the screen.

Kim Namjoon cleared his throat, quickly fixing his composure. He decided to show his excitement and happiness later on. "Thank you very much." He bowed.

Yang Feng didn't respond and instead began to type away on his computer, entering his workaholic stage.

Kim Namjoon secretly grinned and excused himself to tell his wife the good news. Maybe she would finally stop sleeping so early! She always went to bed right when he came home because she was tired of staying up for him, but now that he had a good reason, he thought about using it to make another baby. An adorable little girl that resembled his feisty wife would be a lovely idea...
