Chapter 92 Pei the Pretentious Rabbit
Seeing his blank stare and the way his Adam's apple bobbed, Mihoko knew exactly what he was thinking.
Her pretty face flushed red, and she pinched his waist lightly in embarrassment and annoyance: "Look at you, all you think about are bad ideas. The child is still inside."
"Heh, this is called romance, how can it be called bad thoughts?" Lin Yuan smiled shamelessly and pulled her into his arms.
After settling Mieko and the children in, Lin Yuan went into his personal study on the third floor of the villa.
Standing in front of the spacious floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the scenery of Hannandong nestled against the mountains and by the water, his ambition was impossible to conceal.
In Seoul in 2016, multiple financial magazines and television stations simultaneously disclosed a major piece of news:
According to relevant departments, South Korean entertainment companies are about to undergo a complete reshuffle.
LM Investment Company was founded by Lin Yuan, the second son of the Hong Sheng Group and a former member of LuMin.
Starting in June 2015, he acquired more than 50% of the shares of JYP and Big Hit, becoming the largest shareholder of both companies and serving as a board member in both.
"boom!"
"Damn, how much money does this guy have? Is he aiming to become the fourth largest entertainment company?"
"Daiba, Oppa is indeed a child of a chaebol family. You know, JYP's new girl group TWICE just won the 15 'Best New Artist' award, and their stock price has been soaring."
"Not only that, look at the shareholder list, IU has also invested in it, and Tencent from China has also invested in it. It doesn't look like it's aiming for the fourth largest, but rather like it's vying for the first place."
Lin Yuan looked at the comments below, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
"Hehe, if my status allowed it, I would have acquired SM, YG, and all sorts of entertainment companies, big and small."
This confidence stems from Nvidia's imminent takeoff. 2016 was the year AI was poised to take off, and Nvidia was destined to be a winner in the industry, with its market value expected to reach trillions by 2022.
To this end, he spared no expense, spending nearly 10 billion US dollars (approximately 1.5-1.6 million US dollars) to acquire 1.3% of the shares. By 2026, the profits will reach a staggering 440 billion, a 4400-fold increase—an incredibly terrifying figure.
In other words, based solely on his shareholdings, even if he remains idle for the rest of his life, he will become a trillionaire by 2026, surpassing the efforts of three generations of the Lin family.
He walked back to his desk, turned on his computer, and saw a recent industry report compiled by LM Entertainment and an internal email he had just received.
"Now that we're back, some accounts and some plans need to be addressed simultaneously." Lin Yuan's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
The next morning.
Lin Yuan changed into a well-tailored dark gray suit, making him look sharp and aggressive.
Before leaving, he kissed Mihoko on the forehead, instructed the nanny and bodyguard team to take good care of the family, and then drove straight to the LM Entertainment headquarters in Gangnam District.
After several months apart, the top executives of LM Entertainment were already in the conference room, ready and waiting.
The moment Lin Yuan pushed open the conference room door, the previously noisy room instantly fell silent. He walked expressionlessly to the head seat and sat down, glancing around at everyone.
"Thank you all for your hard work while I was away." He placed his hands on the table, his voice low. "However, let's save the pleasantries for the celebration banquet. Now, give me the report on Red Velvet's recent activities and internal developments within SM Entertainment."
The secretary immediately handed over a document.
Lin Yuan flipped through the report, a playful smile playing on his lips.
Kim Min-young is a shrewd businesswoman. By leveraging the Lin family's name, she not only propelled Red Velvet's momentum to new heights, but also boosted Bae Joo-hyun's commercial value with her stunning looks and ever-increasing exposure.
Looking at Lee Soo-man, aside from shareholder meetings where voting is required, he spends most of his time hiding in his office drinking tea, seemingly having been kicked out of the core of power.
"You took my favors but didn't even bother with a routine greeting or report. Do you really think I'm a philanthropist?" Lin Yuan closed the file and casually instructed Xia Yuan beside him, "Help me arrange a meeting with Kim Min-young, the president of SM Entertainment. Tell her I've returned to Seoul and we can meet at the club in Cheongdam-dong tonight."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Also, have Bae Joo-hyun attend as well."
After several months of experience, Xia Yuan has become a strong woman. The clarity in her eyes has disappeared, leaving only professionalism and ambition.
After handling the company's core affairs, Lin Yuan glanced at his watch; the hands had just pointed to 2 PM.
He rubbed his temples, relaxing his tense nerves, and Bae Soo-ji's image involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Hmm... I'm actually a little hungry. Let's go try the ramen of a certain 'Nation's First Love'."
He then picked up his car keys, told Xia Yuan not to bother him unless it was important, and then left with his bodyguard.
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
Xia Yuan responded respectfully, her gaze fixed on the man, a strange emotion welling up in her eyes.
Since arriving in Seoul, she has come to understand how terrifying the young master is. He can make money in any industry he invests in, which made her, a fresh graduate, completely impressed by Lin Yuan's talent.
And there's a photo of the man on her bedside table, which she holds tightly to her lips every night as she sleeps.
Thinking of this, her face flushed, and she squeezed her legs together tightly.
Half an hour later, the car discreetly stopped in the underground parking lot of Bae Suzy's apartment.
Lin Yuan put on sunglasses and a hat, and took the elevator upstairs as if he knew the way well.
Standing in front of the door, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell.
Almost the second after the doorbell rang, the door was eagerly pulled open from the inside.
Bae Suzy wore a loose white hoodie, revealing her bare, fair legs. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, exuding a pure yet undeniably alluring charm.
Seeing Lin Yuan standing outside the door, her eyes lit up instantly. She crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin: "Oh, isn't this the busy President Lin? What brings you to my humble abode? Aren't you at home with your young master?"
The sour jealousy in his words could be smelled from two meters away.
Lin Yuan took off his sunglasses, closed the door behind him, and couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of this stubborn but soft-hearted "little rabbit" in front of him.
He stepped forward, closing the distance, and looked down at her with amusement:
"Someone's been complaining on Kakao like a little nagging wife every day. If I don't come soon... I'm afraid she'll turn into a statue waiting for her husband. Since I'm not welcome here..."
As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to turn around.
"You dare!"
Bae Soo-ji panicked, grabbing the hem of his suit jacket, a flicker of panic in her eyes. She pulled Lin Yuan towards the living room:
"The first thing you did upon returning to Seoul was to come see me, that's more like it... At least you have some conscience. Come in and we'll talk."
Lin Yuan walked into the house and closed the door behind him; he was ready for a big battle.
Since Mieko got pregnant, he hasn't been able to find a place to release his pent-up desires. It's been several months since his last encounter with Lee Ji-eun. It remains to be seen whether "Nation's First Love" can work out.
He was ready to go all the way and give her a strong sense of security.
