Translator Note: It's snowing today! Hope everyone is doing alright. I love reading your comments 🙂 enjoy reading!

The man handcuffed the editor and walked out. The remaining employees stood awkwardly staring at the door.

"What?"

“What is going on?”

"What's happening? Are we in trouble?"

Afterwards, Entertainment Jump was abandoned by its parent company, and it was closed shortly after Jusung Group's involvement. It was not known in detail what caused the closure.

“As expected, our Yeon Seo wouldn't do something like that!”

“Wasn't CEO Han sceptical then?”

"Well… ahem, since you've done so many things, it's only natural that you don't believe it!", CEO Han laughed and patted Yoo Yeon Seo on the back.

Yoo Yeon Seo who would have normally been nervous, remained calm in this situation. ‘His personality really has changed a lot. Looks like amnesia can sometimes be a good thing.'

Once Kim Jong Seo's clarification was posted and the response from Jusung Group was also different from before, it wasn't long before public opinion quickly reversed.

Yoo Yeon Seo became a victim unfairly targeted all along by unreasonable standards.

They called for an end to the open mockery and ridicule of Yeon Seo, which had been rampant for a long time. Of course, the impact of Love Letter's post pretending not to be a fan also played a role.

“So, when do I start my acting lessons?”

"Well…just wait a bit. It takes time to find a good teacher.”

"Everyone says no when they realise that it's for me?"

CEO Han tried to gloss over it, but Yoo Yeon Seo, who was quick-witted, was able to grasp the issue.

"Th-that's because… um……"

“Right. It's all because of CEO Han. They won't come because they don't get paid much.”

"What?"

"Let's pay them five times more than what was originally agreed upon." Yeon Seo held out his stretched-out palm.

This was a decision only those with money to burn could make.

"But still, that's too much."

"It's not CEO Han's money, it's my own, so I don't mind paying more."

"Okay, I understand." CEO Han nodded. Yeon Seo's reputation in the industry was the worst, and they were having trouble finding an acting teacher due to rumours about him.

Currently, they were in a situation where they had to rely on one's friendship and plead for their help.

However, CEO Han was relieved when the ‘money ghost' Yoo Yeon Seo said he would pay for his own expenses. It made him wonder if he was really serious about acting lessons. ‘Anyway, why is Yeon Seo looking at that?'

“I understand that, but why are you reading a script?”

“To choose a role.”

“You said you would be taking lessons.”

"That's one thing, and this is another. It's time for me to get into a project. Haven't all the scripts been sent to me?"

Yoo Yeon Seo replied confidently as if it were natural. CEO Han was taken aback and waved his hand in embarrassment.

"Why don't you take lessons first and improve your acting skills before getting into a project? Hm?"

Yeon Seo silently shook his head.

After being discharged from the hospital, he stayed several days at home, waiting for the day he would start the acting lessons. During this time, he had a small epiphany.

‘That's right. I'm not a natural-born actor.'

Was there a need to wait until you get lessons to improve your acting skills? He couldn't fall any lower than he already was.

Ever since he was hospitalized, he had been eager to start acting as soon as possible. It's something he's longed for since he was young, but it's not the year 2207, so he can't just sit around and twiddle his fingers.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet."

“It's recovered enough. I can take lessons slowly, and start choosing projects now, right?”

"Yeah…how can I stop you?"

CEO Han sighed in defeat upon realising that there was no way to persuade Yeon Seo otherwise.

Yeon Seo's lack of natural talent meant that their image transformation had already fallen behind. The strategy of using their newly improved acting skills to drive the wedge while public opinion was still somewhat favourable towards them had gone down the drain.

"Uh, we have a problem…"

"What is it?"

"Even if you were to enter a project right now, you don't have a manager to represent you. And it's not like Secretary Lim can do the job."

CEO Han glanced briefly at Lim Seung Hyun. Yeon Seo tilted his head, wondering if that was such a big deal.

"Why not have Manager Park do it?"

"If Manager Park is in charge of you again, the company will go under."

"Really? Hmm…"

Yeon Seo stroked his chin, lost in thought. He had been periodically synchronizing his memories and had experienced countless managers.

"Number 12."

"What?"

"The 12th manager, what was their name?"

"The 12th…Ah, the one who abandoned you on the street?"

Most managers couldn't handle Yeon Seo's difficult personality and disappeared without a word. But there was only one person who had given sincere advice, even if they had abandoned them on the street…even if they had given them the middle finger…

"What's wrong with him?"

"Bring them back. I liked them."

"You? But you said you wouldn't let them come near you again."

"Did I?"

Yeon Seo shrugged. ‘I don't remember, I have amnesia.'

"Will they come back after causing such a scene?"

"If you pay them well, they'll come back."

"You may be a chaebol and not know anything, but there are people in this world who value their pride more than money, you know?"

CEO Han was at a loss for words. The 12th manager was the only one who had put up with Yeon Seo's behaviour. They would have to work hard to bring them back, but if they left again because of Yeon Seo, it would only make CEO Han tired.

"I will find that person for you, young master. I can negotiate well."

"Is that so?"

Lim Seung Hyun, who had been listening silently next to them, stepped forward and Yeon Seo smiled brightly.

"Did you hear that, CEO Han? Please give us their contact information."

"We've disposed of the personnel files of our former employees…"

"That's alright. We already know everything from our side."

The CEO Han felt a shiver run down his arm at Lim Seung Hyun's words.

When he and Manager Park went to visit Yeon Seo in the hospital, the person waiting there was Lim Seung Hyun. They couldn't quite put their finger on it, but every time they saw him, they felt a cold aura between them.

"Well then, if you put in a lot of money, I can soon start taking acting lessons and also have a manager. All I have left to do is choose the right projects."

Yeon Seo light-heartedly smiled, unaware of CEO Han's feelings. ‘Wow! I can finally act too!'
