When asked how much he could invest in the Argentine lithium business, Hugo Evans took a long nap.

“(I never thought you would ask me in reverse. You must have a lot of money.)”

“(Not to the point of regretting it.)”

It was a remark that could have seemed arrogant at first glance, but excessive humility was poison. If you say you don’t have much money with 900 billion won, it would be deception.

“(You can invest up to $150 million, but feel free to do as much as you like.)”

150 million dollars was about 187.5 billion won in Korean money.

‘Since the money I have in my personal bank account is 900 billion won… It won’t be a problem even if I invest the full amount.’

You never know when the resource investment opportunity will come again. Moreover, a lobbyist would be of great help when starting a new business in the United States.

“(Invest $150 million.)”

“(All?)”

Hugo Evans made a surprised expression.

Did you throw it without worrying too much? Earning close to 200 billion a day seemed to paralyze the sense of money.

“(Ha ha ha. They say you don’t feel sorry for money, but you have a big stomach.)”

He smiled shyly and exchanged glances with Brayden Harper. Brayden opened his mouth.

“(Mr. Kim has a lot of distribution. He tends to make big decisions quickly.)”

Has the story of your investment in Alec Carver leaked out? I met him at Brayden’s meeting in the first place, so it wouldn’t be strange if the story leaked out.

‘They told me to keep it a secret from Elisa.’

Did he mean that it didn’t matter as long as it wasn’t for Elisha?

“(What is the investment schedule?)”

“(As soon as possible, the better. It’s a business that has already been talked about.)”

“(It will take a little while to transfer the investment funds because you have to declare it to customs. It may take three weeks, is that okay?)”

“(Of course it’s fine.)”

“(Then let’s invest. I want you to write an investment contract first.)”

“(hahahaha. You have a hot temper. I’ll bring it right after dinner.)”

After the dessert was neatly eaten, the employees cleaned the table. Then Hugo Evans came with the contract.

“(Let’s write the contract now.)”

I never thought I would become a tycoon who pushes 200 billion won into resource investment. It was strange to me that it was not only large corporations or countries that were investing.

“(I will take care of the administrative procedures.)”

The written document stated that the stake was 4.5%. Considering Hugo Evans’ 10% commission, it was the right amount.

“(Yes. Thank you very much.)”

I’m just here to eat, but I’m going lithium shopping. Resources are limited, so it seemed like there would be something to put them to good use someday.

***

‘Someone bought the clothes in the magazine, so I bought them.’

Elisa and I decided to meet at a restaurant in New York. Elisa changes her clothes every time she meets her, but she seems to be a single-breasted gentleman, so she picked out a suitable outfit from a magazine and received a similar style recommendation from a department store.

‘You mean I can’t choose clothes well.’

The clothes looked like those clothes. The clothes are similar, but some clothes fit well and some clothes don’t fit well, but the eyes I see and the eyes women see are different.

So, I borrowed the help of department store employees.

“(You’re tall, so you look good on me.)”

Even to me, it seemed like there was 1% of the feeling of being a model. I liked the way I looked in the mirror, but I didn’t want to be conceited because the department store mirror was a magic mirror that made my legs look longer.

“(I’ll do this.)”

After putting on the new clothes she had bought and styling at the hair salon, she headed to the meeting place with Elisa. Jaffrey had plenty of cash to use while he waited at the store.

“(Probably nothing special, so please wait and call me.)”

“(All right.)”

The meeting took place at a French restaurant called M. Wells. When I sent a message to Elisa, I received a message telling me to come into the private room inside.

‘What kind of people will there be? If it’s MBA people, won’t my ignorance be exposed?’

I studied English diligently and read economic newspapers, but until a few months ago, I was a petit bourgeois who was unfamiliar with the economy, so meeting MBA students from prestigious New York universities made me nervous.

‘Hanul and Elisa were both good people, so there’s no need to be nervous.’

I took a deep breath and entered the store.

Upon entering through the open hall, the beautiful women sitting with Elisa caught my eye.

“(Jaegu! Welcome.)”

The gazes of six beauties and two men turned to me.

‘I don’t think this is an MBA meeting.’

A blonde, blue-eyed woman in a dress that showed off half her breasts smiled.

“(Are you the Kim Jae-goo that Elisa talked about?)”

“(I hear you’re close with Della Foster?)”

no. Not that friendly…

“(hahahaha. Hello.)”

“(You guys. Don’t make fun of me. Mr. Jaegu. Come and sit over here.)”

There was an empty seat next to Elisha.

The man sitting across from her gave me a wary look, then held out his hand as I sat down.

“(Jonathan Hills.)”

“(This is Jaegu Kim.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jonathan Hills was the third generation of the Hills Group, a large hotel chain. He was interested in the entertainment industry, so he was a person whose face sometimes appeared in the entertainment column.

He glared at me with burning eyes.

“(Lexi Morgan. I’m a model.)”

The woman sitting next to her held out her hand. He held his hand lightly and shook it.

“(This is Jaegu Kim.)”

Others then took turns introducing themselves.

In conclusion, except for Elisha, the women were models, and the men were businessmen. Jonathan Hills shot me a searing eye.

‘This bastard is aiming for Elisha.’

It was transparently intense hostility, but it didn’t make me feel bad. Because it was natural to be wary of a man approaching the woman he likes.

It’s not like I’m dating Ellie.

The door opened and a waitress entered with the sizzling sound of meat boiling. As the large steak was placed in the center of the table, the women put their hands together and exclaimed.

“(It must be so delicious.)”

Then came the salad bowl.

The waiter carved the steak and served it on a plate. A point was also placed on my plate.

“(Mr. Jaegu. I will live this time. Eat deliciously.)”

“(Thank you, Ms. Elisa.)”

I cut it lightly and put it in my mouth. The salty salt and the gravy of the moderately grilled meat spread in your mouth, creating a wonderful harmony.

“(It’s delicious.)”

“(Yes?)”

Maybe it’s because they’re models, but I didn’t eat much meat compared to what they said was delicious.

Lexi Morgan ate some salad and wiped her mouth. It seemed like I had heard that extreme diet control was necessary to maintain such a slim body.

She looked at me with blue eyes.

“(You’re quite tall for an Asian.)”

“(Koreans are tall.)”

Elisa intervened.

“(Thanks to Jaegoo for inviting me to Della Foster’s party, I got an autograph. Do you want to see this?)”

She took out an album with an autograph on it. He looked really happy, so I thought it was a good idea to invite him to the party.

“(Wow. Are you close with Della Foster?)”

“(I want to shoot a music video too.)”

“(Are you in the entertainment industry?)”

At the mention of Della Foster’s name, the models’ eyes lit up.

“(hahahaha. No, I’m just an ordinary individual investor.)”

A barrage of questions from gorgeous beauties continued. Is it possible to build bridges with Della Foster’s acquaintances, and does anyone know anyone in the entertainment industry?

There were so many people who were curious.

“(It’s big. I heard that rapper WK is filming a music video this time.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jonathan cleared his throat to draw attention.

Rapper WK was a large rapper who entered the Billboard 100 if he released an album. It is also popular in Korea, so it was a celebrity who put his name on the pop song section of the music chart.

Thanks to that, I was able to divert the attention of the models that were burdensome, but the women’s reaction was sluggish.

“(Ah. Mr. WK must already have someone to shoot.)”

“(That’s right. They’re popular.)”

It was an outright refusal.

“(That person. There’s a rumor that he does drugs. Rumors about women aren’t good either.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jonathan’s expression hardened slightly at Elisa’s words. He kept his smile and leaned toward Elisha.

“(Rumors are just rumors.)”

“(Because there are some people who are hit hard when rumors spread.)”

He licked his lips.

“(Don’t do that, Jaegu. Call Della Foster.)”

“(That’s right. They say they’re releasing a new song soon. Ask if they’ve recruited a music video performer. Please.)”

“(Give me a chance to audition. Please. Yes?)”

The models put their hands together while sending desperate eyes. Jonathan glared at me with burning eyes.

‘What the hell did I do?’

I often said hello to Della Foster, so even if I couldn’t ask, I was able to ask for an audition opportunity.

“(OK.)”

I sent a message to Della Foster.

[(Mr. Della. Hello. I came to New York this time to play and contacted you.)]

The reply might be late, so the moment I turned my phone over, a message arrived.

[(Mr. Jaegu! I came to New York, why didn’t you contact me in advance?)]

[(It was because Della was busy.)]

[(hahahaha. I’m busy, but I have time to meet Mr. Jaegu.)]

What is this hospitality?

It was a strange hospitality, but it occurred to me that there might be something I heard from her friend Brayden.

[(You’ve been well, right?)]

[(I’m so busy that I can’t open my eyes. The new song I wrote on the plane last time is almost finished. Why don’t you take a look at your face so that I can remember how you felt at that time?)]

oh You mean the song you wrote on the plane?

[(Okay. By the way, has the music video for this new song been filmed?)]

[(Music video? I’m still thinking about it.)]

[(Have you finished recruiting performers?)]

It would be enough if you ask me this much. I was thirsty for some reason, so I took a sip of wine.

[(Mr. Jaegu is going to appear in person? Welcome. I made that song while watching Mr. Jaegu.)]

Pooh.

When the wine he was drinking got stuck in his throat and he knocked on his chest, Elisa patted him on the back.

“(it’s okay?)”

“(It’s okay…)”

The sudden incoming left hook made me go crazy. What the hell did I do to make music by looking at me?

no way···. You said you made the last song thinking of me?

‘Ah, that can’t be.’

He shook his head and took a sip of water.

[(Why? Are you appearing?)]

[(No. Because someone I know wants to appear.)]

[(Do you have time tomorrow morning? Let’s meet tomorrow to discuss the details.)]

It’s been a while since I met Della Foster, so it would be nice to have a meal together after a long time. Ha-yeon and her parents said they would arrive on Sunday afternoon, so we had time tomorrow.

[(like.)]

[(Do you know our address?)]

[(Sure.)]

[(See you tomorrow.)]

I turned my phone upside down and put it on the table, and the beautiful models stared at me with shining eyes.

“(What do you say?)”

“(They say they’ll talk more about it tomorrow.)”

“(Really? This is my business card. Please contact me when the audition schedule is set.)”

“(Take my business card, too.)”

“(Me too.)”

As the models gathered like bees, Elisa blocked them with her body.

“(I’ll let you know when it’s decided.)”

“(Why. I want to contact Mr. Jaegu too.)”

“(right.)”

hot. Jonathan’s hot gaze flies and sticks. The man who was sitting still in the corner looked at me with a cough as if he was feeling uncomfortable.

Women flocking to her, and jealous men. Honestly, I felt good, but I didn’t want to make enemies here.

“(Don’t expect too much.)”

After receiving the girls’ business cards and inserting them, Elisa directed traffic.

“(It’s narrow. It’s narrow. Everyone go back to their seats.)”

“(Please contact me.)”

When Lexi Morgan winked and kissed her palm, Elisa pretended to block a heart with her palm.

“(Mr. Kim. You’re popular.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jonathan’s check came in. He was one of the successors of Hills Hotel, and was a businessman who also launched a fashion brand for men.

Now, I wanted to look good for Elisha, so my body was worn out, but I didn’t think I was a bad person yet.

“(It’s Della Foster’s popularity, not mine. Rather, Jonathan’s shirt looks really good.)”

“(hahahahaha. Is that so? This is a shirt from my brand. It’s stretchy and nice to the touch. Would you like to touch it?)”

he stretched out his arm. I picked it up and touched it with my fingertips. As he said, it was a soft and stretchy shirt. The fit wasn’t bad either.

“(It’s a good product.)”

“(Isn’t that right? Movie stars Aidan and Carson also love my brand’s products.)”

Praise makes even whales dance. Jonathan’s expression brightened.

“(Can I touch it too?)”

At Elisha’s question, Jonathan nodded vigorously. Elisha’s fingertips stroked his shirt, and his face turned red.

You may be more naive than you look.

“(Oh my. It feels really nice.)”

“(That… isn’t it?)”

“(Jaegoo would look good wearing it.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jonathan’s expression immediately darkened. Stay strong, Sasha. I kind of wanted to cheer.

“(Where can I buy it? If you could tell me about the website…)”

Because of its elasticity, it seemed like it would be good for bodyguards to wear. It’s easy to move and has a nice touch, so it’s perfect as a New York tourist souvenir.

“(Don’t compare it to brands readily available on the internet. We only sell them in stores.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jonathan wrote the address on the back of the business card and gave it to me. The store was not far away.

‘It’s a brand that doesn’t sell on the Internet.’

If we get to know each other later, we should negotiate to launch a high-end line in the Korean market.

The drinking party lasted for two hours. The awkward atmosphere at the beginning was quickly resolved, and at the end it ended in a friendly atmosphere.

Since I was drinking, I decided to take a taxi to the hotel.

After saying goodbye to my group, I was out to catch a taxi with Jeffrey when a black sedan stopped in front of me. It was a familiar car.

The passenger side window was lowered, and Elisa’s face was visible.

“(Jaegu. Tayo. I’ll take you to the hotel.)”

“(Then shameless…)”

“(Will the person next to you sit in the passenger seat? I have something to tell you.)”

Can’t I just say no here?

“(Yes. Jaffrey. Would you like to sit in the passenger seat?)”

“(All right.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jeffrey sat in the passenger seat, and Elisa sat in the back seat. Elisa’s car still smelled good.

she opened her mouth

“(Jae-goo. Shall we go for another drink?)”
