Chapter 2138: Aggressive

How powerful was Park Sun-young's presence?

At the very least, even Lee Soo-man, a wily old fox who had been immersed in the business world for decades, dared not say a single word of refusal in front of her.

This was a presence brought by her status and position, not just something inherent in her person.

For example, if Park Sun-young were an idol from SM Entertainment, Lee Soo-man might not even glance at her; with a glare, the young girl would have to bow obediently and admit her mistake.

But Park Sun-young was a director of Hanxing Investment, known to be the top loyal dog of its representative director, Liang Jingyu.

What did this mean?

It meant that even if Park Sun-young were an idiot, every word she spoke here represented Liang Jingyu and Hanxing Investment.

It represented Zhao Fusheng, the master of Future Group, who had teamed up with the brothers Lee Kun-hee and Lee Meng-hee to swindle two major conglomerates, SK and Lotte.

With just this name, Lee Soo-man could not muster any thought of opposing him.

One must consider the master before beating the dog—they all understood this principle.

Park Sun-young might not be that powerful, but it had to be said that the person behind her gave her strong capital.

"Director Park, may I ask what business you have?"

Sitting in SM Entertainment's conference room, Lee Soo-man glanced at Kim Young-min, who nodded and looked at Park Sun-young, speaking with a smile.

Park Sun-young's expression was very serious, without a trace of a smile. She looked at Kim Young-min and said flatly, "Where is TVXQ?"

"Huh?"

Both Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man were stunned.

TVXQ?

What did that mean?

Both were seasoned veterans and did not believe Park Sun-young had come in such a threatening manner with so many people just to greet TVXQ.

In other words, it was clear she was here to cause trouble.

But the question was, TVXQ were idols—when had they offended Park Sun-young?

The gap in status between the two was like heaven and earth.

To put it bluntly,

Although TVXQ was a hugely popular boy band across Korea and even all of Asia, in front of Park Sun-young, they were still just idols who could be summoned or dismissed with a single phone call.

Because no matter how popular TVXQ became, they were merely tools for capital to make money.

And Park Sun-young represented capital.

That was enough.

"Director Park, may I ask if TVXQ did something wrong?" Lee Soo-man cautiously glanced at Park Sun-young and asked in a low voice.

Park Sun-young looked at him coldly: "Mr. Lee Soo-man, have I been too kind to you before?"

"What?"

Lee Soo-man was taken aback, somewhat bewildered.

"Whether as a major shareholder of SM Entertainment or as its artistic director, as one of your company's shareholders, I now represent Hanxing Investment in wanting to interrogate TVXQ. Mr. Lee Soo-man, do you think that's not allowed? Or do you believe that receiving a special pardon from President Roh Moo-hyun means you can rest easy?"

Park Sun-young said coldly to Lee Soo-man.

Lee Soo-man was greatly alarmed; he naturally understood Park Sun-young's meaning.

After all, Roh Moo-hyun had stepped down and was now under investigation. Regardless of what the future held, it was certain that Lee Soo-man, as a major shareholder of SM Entertainment, was not as secure as he appeared.

If someone really wanted to make a move, he would undoubtedly be a very simple突破口.

Helpless, who could blame him for having a dirty past?

"I have no interest in the messy relationships between your SM Entertainment and the political world, nor do I want to know."

Looking at Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min, Park Sun-young said word by word: "Now, bring all the members of TVXQ here! Immediately! Right now!"

Both of them were dumbfounded.

In terms of age, Park Sun-young was older than both of them, and even when they had met before, she had been polite and courteous.

But now, she was putting on such an attitude. Even a fool could tell that something was about to happen.

"What's going on?"

"What exactly did TVXQ do?"

Lee Soo-man roared inwardly, looking at Kim Young-min with curiosity.

Kim Young-min was also completely bewildered.

Suddenly, he had a foreboding feeling. For some reason, he had a strange sense that Park Sun-young's visit had other intentions.

"I'll go call them."

With that thought, Kim Young-min stood up and said to Park Sun-young.

"No need."

Park Sun-young said coldly: "Representative Kim, please sit down. Let someone outside go call them over."

"Uh, alright."

Kim Young-min nodded and ultimately did not defy Park Sun-young's wishes.

Helpless, neither he nor Lee Soo-man could figure out Park Sun-young's true intention—whether she was targeting TVXQ, SM Entertainment's most profitable group, or the management of SM Entertainment itself.

Soon, someone was sent to call TVXQ.

A moment later, Jung Yunho and Kim Junsu walked in.

They first bowed to Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min, then stood by the door.

"This is Director Park from Hanxing Investment."

Lee Soo-man smiled and said to Jung Yunho: "Yunho, whatever Director Park asks you, you must answer truthfully."

Jung Yunho quickly nodded.

But Park Sun-young snorted: "Where are the others?"

"Uh, Yuchun and Jaejoong went out, and Changmin is injured, recovering in the dorm." Jung Yunho was very sensible and quickly replied respectfully to Park Sun-young.

"Is that so?"

Park Sun-young said coldly: "No matter where they are now, get them over here immediately! And that Shim Changmin, even if his legs are broken, he must crawl over!"

Hiss!

Everyone gasped, looking at Park Sun-young in shock.

No one had expected Park Sun-young to be so ruthless.

Admittedly, although people usually didn't treat these idols as human beings, often scolding and hitting them,

they still put up a superficial front.

Few people were like Park Sun-young, who so directly uttered such words. What exactly did she want to do?

"Director Park, this..."

Everyone looked at Park Sun-young.

Especially Lee Soo-man, who gritted his teeth and said to Park Sun-young: "Director Park, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Too much?"

Park Sun-young glanced at Lee Soo-man indifferently and said calmly: "Director Lee, you'd better think carefully about what you want to say. If you're willing to see SM Entertainment's stock drop to worthless paper, then go ahead..."

In that instant, Lee Soo-man was stunned.

He clearly felt that Park Sun-young was not joking; she really intended to do that!
