I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 170

Chapter 17: Virginity Is a Big Deal

Two days later, the war(?) with Go Minji had settled down, and I sent RK-77—Go Minji—to Go Hayan.

Got the sample. It’s excellent. Where’d you get something like this?

Go Hayan was the daughter of Go Hayoung, one of the Vice Chairwomen of Koryo Group, and a major player in the advertising industry.

Specifically, she handled the finance, luxury goods, and high-end service sectors.

There was a reason she was a giant in the advertising world.

“I made it.”

...Yeah, that’s what I heard. But how the hell am I supposed to believe that?

“Try trusting your little brother for once.”

Would you believe it if you were me?

Go Hayan’s voice was as cold as ever.

I guess it was impossible for her to forget the whole mess I’d caused in the past.

Still, things had gotten a lot better.

When we first met, she didn’t even bother hiding her disdain for me.

At least now, she’d acknowledged the changes I’d made—cleaning up my act and living a so-called proper life.

She was the one who gifted me an AV, after all.

What did she say back then?

Something about how embarrassing it was to see me crawling around and to stop acting pathetic?

Her words were harsh, but for someone like me, who couldn’t even imagine splurging on something worth hundreds of billions,

her generosity was on a whole other level.

“I may not look like it, but I know my way around chemistry. You know what I’ve done.”

...

“Real, critical drugs need to be crafted by hand. Where do you think that knowledge came from? It’s all chemistry.”

Go Hayan went silent for a moment, as if considering my words, before snapping back.

Stop talking nonsense. Those are two completely different fields.

“....”

I figured she wouldn’t buy it so easily.

Whatever. So the story is that you made it, huh?

“It’s not a story, it’s the truth. But sure. Believe whatever you want.”

Who made it doesn’t matter. What matters is whether it has real value and can sell in the market. From that perspective, this is excellent. Synthetic gems usually struggle to gain recognition, but this one could work. It definitely has value.

Go Hayan gave Go Minji (RK-77) high praise.

Which wasn’t surprising.

It might not be on the same level as RK-99, but since it was derived from that formula,

it was basically a cheat material.

Of course, it caught her eye.

We’ll need to test its properties to be sure, but as long as it doesn’t break too easily or release toxic substances, it should be fine. It’s just too beautiful and mesmerizing.

“I think so too.”

So, you’re saying you want to supply this to me?

“Yes. At first, I considered processing it myself and making jewelry, but I figured focusing solely on gem production and supplying your company would be more efficient.”

Smart choice. Trying to do everything from the start usually ends in failure. Plus, there’s already a company with the Koryo name. No need to create another pointless one.

“Exactly.”

Focus on securing resources and improving quality. I’ll make sure the pricing is fair.

“We can discuss that later.”

Go Hayan was straightforward.

She didn’t waste time digging too deep and went straight to business.

Guess that’s what made her a real businesswoman, despite her age.

She was a year younger than Go Minji, but she felt far more mature.

But there’s one thing I’m curious about.

“Yes?”

Why is the gem called Go Minji? I seriously don’t get it.

“Ah.”

That crazy woman has nothing to do with this gem. What’s the story behind the name?

It was a reasonable question.

The name itself was odd, and Go Minji and Go Hayan didn’t exactly get along.

“I gave it as a necklace to Go Minji. Since it was made for her, I named it after her.”

Ha. Are you two dating?

“....”

Unbelievable.

How the hell did she figure that out?

“Anyway, that’s the reason for the name.”

I don’t particularly like the name, but the story works. Well, except for the part where you’re cousins.

“....”

Jewelry needs a story. Especially synthetic gems. If you want to sell them at high prices, the story has to captivate people. The idea of a gem made as a gift for a woman? That’ll definitely sell.

She went on and on about marketing strategies and pricing models until my ears hurt.

Then the topic shifted to LUMINA and Nokonoko Girls.

I’m going to make a necklace with the sample you sent. As fast as possible. Have your girls wear it at the awards ceremony.

“Oh. For advertising?”

Yeah. Don’t forget I get top priority for your ads. And have all your other celebrities wear our products too.

“All of them?”

All of them.

Well, that wasn’t a problem.

“Got it. Send them over, and I’ll handle it.”

And just like that, I landed a massive advertising deal.

“Oh, by the way, my offer still stands.”

What offer?

“To treat you to dinner.”

Ha. Oh... that.

She sounded a bit exasperated.

“Now that we’re officially doing business together, how about dinner this time?”

Is that really necessary? We’re all meeting for Lunar New Year anyway. It’s only three weeks away.

“Meeting one-on-one is different.”

...Maybe later. If I have time.

Go Hayan never gave me a clear answer.

She just kept giving vague responses until we ended the call.

Still, this was progress.

She used to reject me outright before.

Her tone and demeanor had also softened a lot.

At the very least, it didn’t feel like she hated me anymore.

‘If the direct bloodline is designed to continue through incest, then... it’s not just Go Minji and Go Minyoung. The other aunts and cousins will eventually end up with me too.’

I’d thought about this before,

but back then, I was much more skeptical.

I just couldn’t believe it.

I mean, come on.

How could such an insanely rich family be so close and tight-knit?

It didn’t make any sense!

But after sleeping with two Go women, my perspective started to shift.

Both of them were already soaked before I even touched them.

They’d been waiting for it—for me—for a long time.

Would the other aunts and cousins be any different?

Go Minji had asked me how I could even consider fooling around with someone who wasn’t blood-related.

If Go Minyoung turned out to be a virgin, there was a good chance she shared that mindset too.

And maybe the other aunts and daughters did as well...

‘Let’s try stepping things up a notch.’

“Rainbow Miracle decided to focus primarily on actors and singers. We added a large number of new recruits through the second auditions in November, bringing the total number of active entertainers to 317. Additionally, for announcers, streamers, and influencers, those are being handled under Koryo Enter—(rest omitted).”

“Nokonoko Division is focusing on idols. Our flagship groups are LUMINA and Nokonoko Girls. Including the recruits from the second auditions, we currently manage 154 members. Given their strong performance, they’re projected to do well at the entertainment awards—(rest omitted).”

Koryo Entertainment, which started with just 100 billion won in cash,

had transformed into a massive agency managing 16 trillion won in assets,

two subsidiaries, and nearly 1,000 entertainers.

And all of this happened in just three months.

Soon, the approval for Muyeol Finance would come through,

and serious investments would begin.

Add in the prison corporation, the Namdong redevelopment project, and other ventures,

and the scale of it all was getting ridiculous.

Honestly, I could start calling it a conglomerate at this point.

“We’re planning a joint concert for LUMINA and Nokonoko Girls in the first half of next year. If it performs well, we might consider a nationwide tour.”

That came from Na Taehee, the Nokonoko Division’s head and Vice President of Koryo Entertainment.

Apparently, they were planning a concert.

“A concert? Isn’t it a bit early for that? They’re still one-hit wonders.”

“Yes, that’s why we’re planning a joint concert. And if it still feels too small, we’re considering expanding it to include all of Nokonoko Division’s idols.”

“What do you think, Emilia? Does a concert make sense at this stage?”

Emilia glanced at Na Taehee before answering.

“...I don’t think it’ll be an issue. Even if their own songs aren’t enough, we can fill the gaps with covers or remakes. Both LUMINA and Nokonoko Girls are hit groups, so there’s definitely demand.”

“Hmm. You sure?”

“And even aside from short-term profits, hosting a concert will help raise their public profile.”

Well,

if the experts thought so, then ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) it must be fine.

I wasn’t exactly knowledgeable about this industry.

“Go ahead, then. If we’re doing it, make sure it’s done right.”

“Yes, sir.”

Budget wasn’t an issue.

I already had plenty of cash on hand,

and once my deal with Go Hayan was finalized, I’d be getting a hefty chunk from ad revenue.

I just needed to negotiate hard and squeeze out as much as possible.

“You heard about the ad deal, right?”

“Yes.”

“When the negotiation team arrives, squeeze them dry. I want them leaving here wondering if we went too far.”

“...Understood.”
