The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor-Chapter 37:

Yoo Yeon Seo browsed the news as he went to meet Jeong Dahee.

The articles were not dying down, but explosively increasing. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

‘This is too… blatant.’

Did Han Daepyo have too much fun with his negative comments? Isn’t this too much? This is a bit too harsh.

Yoo Yeon Seo answered the phone that rang at the right moment.

“Yes, mother.”

(Yeon Seo-ya. You’ve done something interesting.)

“…I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

Did he still not know his own influence because of his memory loss? Choi Yujin thought and smiled faintly.

“Did you see the script?”

(Yes. I don’t know much about these things, but it was fun. The staff’s reactions were good too.)

“Really?”

(If the writer wants it, I think we can start production soon.)

“That’s good.”

If it was an order from the vice president, it would proceed quickly. JSTV would also benefit from starting production quickly and continuing the popularity of ‘Virtual Reality’.

Yoo Yeon Seo hung up the phone and pulled his hat down and headed outside.

“Huh?”

“Isn’t that Yoo Yeon Seo?”

He bowed his head and walked quickly, but there was someone who recognized him. He should have brought a mask if she knew this would happen.

“This way.”

Im Seunghyun, who had parked the car and came, took the lead.

“Ah, hello!”

Jeong Dahee was sitting in a corner of the cafe and waiting, but she got up and greeted Yoo Yeon Seo when she saw her. A few people’s gazes were felt by the commotion.

“You wanted to see me?”

Yoo Yeon Seo sat down opposite and went straight to the point.

“I thought I should thank you in person.”

You don’t have to do that. Yoo Yeon Seo frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable. She was not used to this soft and fluffy atmosphere.

“Thank you very much.”

Jeong Dahee bowed her head politely.

“Writer-nim, you’re misunderstanding something… You don’t have to be grateful to me.”

Jeong Dahee lifted her head at Yoo Yeon Seo’s cold words.

“I used you to improve my image too. It’s a win-win situation for both of us.”

“…”

“Anyway, I’ve received your thanks, so let’s end it here.”

Who would make such a big fuss to improve their image? Jeong Dahee glanced at Im Seunghyun, who was standing behind Yoo Yeon Seo. He was smiling meaningfully.

“Ah, writer-nim. What do you think of JSTV? You don’t prefer public broadcasting more, do you?”

“Huh?”

“You have to debut. They’ll contact you soon.”

Jeong Dahee was momentarily stunned and didn’t understand what he was saying. She covered her mouth with both hands. Her eyes became moist in an instant.

“Thank you so much…”

“No, I didn’t do anything. It’s because the script was good.”

He just casually showed the script to the vice president of the production company.

Jeong Dahee’s ‘Dreaming’ was a work that survived the script selection of the original body, but apart from that, it was an attractive scenario even for Kang Jinho of 2207. If it wasn’t plagiarized and aired safely, he would have enjoyed watching it in the future.

And… The person he saw when he first synchronized his memory after coming to this era was Jeong Dahee. He remembered the desperation in her trembling hands as she handed him the script.

“Then… you liked my script?”

“Yes, it was interesting.”

Yoo Yeon Seo thought she could get up from her seat after seeing Jeong Dahee’s happy face.

“Then, would you please appear in my drama ‘Dreaming’? Like you did in ‘Virtual Reality’.”

Yoo Yeon Seo tilted her head as if she didn’t understand. You don’t have to try to repay me like this.

“Do you need to thank me after I’ve received it? You have enough budget without me.”

It was an order from the vice president, so the shooting site atmosphere would be good anyway, and the script was so good that he had a personal intention to invest. But it was awkward to be asked like this.

“No! That’s not what I want!”

Jeong Dahee shook her hands hastily.

Yoo Yeon Seo was even more confused. He admitted that he had influence, but he was not a guarantee for ratings. You’re casting a famous bad actor for your debut work? Don’t you have any ambition?

“I saw your acting. In ‘Virtual Reality’… You were good. You were similar to the character I imagined…”

“With that short amount? The episodes were short too.”

“But I really want you to be in my drama.”

I don’t know if I have the casting authority… Jeong Dahee mumbled. It didn’t seem like she was impulsively doing this because she was grateful for his help.

“Um… this is a bit difficult.”

Yoo Yeon Seo scratched his chin and thought. He wanted to enjoy his college life for a while by lightly synchronizing his memory…

But still.

‘I’m a bit interested in the role that Yoon Haelee played.’

It wouldn’t be hard to act that, and he would only appear briefly anyway, so it wouldn’t be a problem even if he went back to school…

“Okay, but give me a different role.”

***

As expected, our Pictures and the broadcasting station held Yoo Yeon Seo responsible for running away from the set.

“Me? How and what?”

But that didn’t work on Yoo Yeon Seo, who had Juseong on his back.

“Can you handle Juseong?”

He returned the same words that Jeong Dahee had heard.

Yoo Yeon Seo brought the contract he had revised and showed the clause of three times the penalty. He didn’t know what Im Seunghyun said to the head office, but the broadcasting station quickly backed off. He probably threatened to take out all the ads. Being a golden spoon is nice.

‘Virtual Reality’ broadcasting station, “Aware of Hwang writer’s plagiarism… decided to stop airing the drama”

-‘Virtual Reality’ Hwang Mijeong writer admits plagiarism… production stopped

Eventually, the production company and the writer also raised the white flag quickly. They admitted it, but there was no polite apology to the victim until the end. How pathetic.

JSENM to produce ‘Dreaming’, the original drama of ‘Virtual Reality’.

-‘The hope of rookies’ Yoo Yeon Seo, to play a supporting role in the plagiarized victim drama ‘Dreaming’… special request from the writer

And JSENM started to promote to the media at this time.

-Wow, perfect until the end

-Look at how fast it gets produced when Yoo Yeon Seo says he’ll do it??

-He also took care of the aspiring writer, right?

└Seems like it

Yoo Yeon Seo sighed and turned off his phone. It didn’t go as expected, but well, good is good.

Anyway, the situation was settled for now and he faced a new phase. It was the first Lunar New Year he experienced after coming to this era.

‘I’ll spill some coffee today.’

He had synchronized his memory several times, but he still had no memories of his aunt and cousins. But there was someone he had seen briefly in the fragments of his memory.

Yoo Yeon Seo felt like her grandmother didn’t like her very much.

Her grandmother, Park Geumju, was the current director of Juseong Art Museum.

She was a capable person who had handled Juseong’s fashion business when she was young and had grown it into a global SPA brand. Now, her younger aunt was running the brand.

[You’re becoming more and more strange.]

[Can’t you live properly?]

To be honest, Yoo Yeon Seo deserved to hear those words for what she had done so far. But she remembered that the original body felt quite sad when he heard them. Was there something she didn’t know?

“Uh…”

Today, Im Seunghyun and Lee Taegyeom were both on holiday, and she had to go to Pyeongchang-dong by herself, but there was one problem.

‘Can I drive?’

Yoo Yeon Seo stared blankly at the six car keys neatly placed on the desk.

There was a guide on how to drive in the basic life manual of 2018, but theory and practice were different. But it would be too hard on her body to use the automatic action mode to drive…

She answered the phone that rang at the right moment.

“Oh, hyung.”

(Open the door.)

“Huh?”

Really? Yoo Yeon Seo headed to the front door.

“What, are you here to catch me again?”

“Like I said before, I’m not here to catch you…”

“To take care of me?”

Yoo Eunho smiled faintly and nodded. It was good timing since she was in trouble. Yoo Yeon Seo quickly followed his hyung to the parking lot.

“Why didn’t you just go ahead? You didn’t have to come all the way here.”

“I live nearby too. I’m killing two birds with one stone.”

Oh, I see. Then I’ll make good use of you as a driver.

“Do you all know about my memory loss?”

“Only the adults.”

So the cousins don’t know. Anyway, spilling coffee is confirmed. Yoo Yeon Seo sighed softly and fastened his seat belt.

“…Will grandma come too?”

“Yes, she came back a while ago.”

She heard that she had been staying abroad for a long time to visit the SPA brand stores that she had launched and opened in various countries and to attend art auctions. That’s why she never visited Yoo Yeon Seo’s hospital room.

“How is she?”

“Grandma is… a bit clumsy in expressing herself.”

“Do you think she’ll like me now?”

Yoo Eunho couldn’t help but laugh. The original Yoo Yeon Seo wasn’t as outgoing as he appeared in the media, but he wasn’t very affectionate to his family either.

He would just exchange a few greetings with his younger brother and answer his questions curtly and leave quickly. So it was quite unnatural to see him caring about his family’s feelings.

‘But he’s better than before.’

After witnessing Lee Heeseo’s accident, Yoo Yeon Seo had been alienated from his family. But now he was trying to break the wall first, and it looked quite nice. He thought so and Yoo Yeon Seo frowned.

“Why are you laughing?”

“There’s something like that. I think grandma will like it too.”

It felt like he was being mocked. Yoo Yeon Seo turned his head away with a displeased expression. If Yoo Eunho said so, it would be so. He trusted his hyung as much as he could.

They arrived at the house in no time and got out of the car. A man in a suit who was guarding the door drove Yoo Eunho’s car to the parking lot.

“Yeon Seo!”

Yoo Yeon Seo’s body stiffened at the shout of his older aunt. What, why?

His body’s tension was opposite to his grandmother, Park Geumju, who greeted her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren with a gentle smile.

“Eunho, you’re here.”

“Yes, grandmother.”

Park Geumju hugged Yoo Eunho lightly and turned her gaze to Yoo Yeon Seo. Contrary to her sharp impression… the atmosphere seemed fine?

“So, how are you feeling?”

“Yes. I’m feeling better.”

“You did something interesting.”

Yoo Yeon Seo swallowed his saliva without knowing it. Park Geumju looked at him with a strange expression and turned her body to go inside. What do you mean interesting? You have to finish what you’re saying!

‘I’m going to be very tired today.’

Yoo Yeon Seo followed his family inside with a gloomy face.
