......

Perhaps because of its proximity, Seoul's winters are a bit wetter and colder than those in the interior.

The Siberian cold snap in the north came unexpectedly, with strong winds that lasted for several days and a light snowfall last night, which caused the temperature to drop a few degrees sharply.

The cold wind was howling, and the windows in the office shook slightly from time to time.

On the coffee cup, the white mist is birdy.

Behind the desk, Gu Heng silently processed the documents and materials at hand, and the mobile phone he put aside broadcast the latest morning news.

"According to the latest report from this station, according to insiders, Kim Beom-so, the president of Kakao Company, who has recently been involved in overseas gambling turmoil, is currently located in Manila City, Philippines, and is negotiating with local dignitaries on future market cooperation, and will return to South Korea after the negotiations......

"Regarding the gambling, a spokesman for Kakao said that President Kim Beom-so will sincerely accept the prosecution's investigation after returning to South Korea, and will not respond further until the prosecution completes the investigation......

"In an interview with this station, Congressman Ko Kok Ho said that as a figure with great influence in the younger generation, Kim Beom-so's actions will have a huge bad impact, and if the procuratorate does not severely punish him, it will seriously damage the ...... of the younger generation."

Gu Heng paused, his brows furrowed.

Reaching out and pressing pause on the phone screen, he made a call from his landline.

"Hello, may I ask ......" Lin Zhixun's voice came from the landline.

"It's me, Gu Heng."

"You suddenly used a landline, I really didn't react."

"Have you read the morning news?"

"Not yet, I'm just dealing with some things, and there's a new move over there?"

"Well, listen to it."

Gu Heng pulled the progress bar on his phone back a short section and put it on the side of the landline.

After a while, he pressed the pause again, "What do you think?"

"Borrowing the topic to play, if it is really brought up the rhythm, I'm afraid it will ......" Lin Zhixun's voice was solemn.

"The risk is not small." Gu Heng took the coffee that had become warm next to him and took a sip.

In South Korea, the judicial system often considers the impact of the offender's actions when sentencing for multiple gambling offenses.

Last year, a well-known variety show host was sentenced to a heavy prison sentence for this.

"Hmm...... By the way, President Jin preliminarily agreed to Jingsheng's conditions and proposals."

"Okay, I see,"

Gu Heng responded, but didn't say anything more, just asked instead, "How did the previous investigation go?"

"The media and newspapers related to SKJ have not shown a clear tendency in their reporting, I guess...... It's waiting for us." Lin Zhixun sighed, "I'll have someone contact them? Now we are too passive."

Kakao, who has only mastered social communication and part of the game market, is almost powerless in terms of public opinion and social media.

"Well, it's time to make some moves," Gu Heng knocked on the table, "Take the initiative to show favor to NAVER."

「NAVER？」

"Those people have to think about the possible consequences of not reaching out, otherwise it will not be a concession or a compromise, but a cut of flesh."

"I see, I hope there's still time."

After exchanging a few more words, Gu Heng hung up the phone.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the office door.

After Gu Heng's answer, Li Ran pushed the door in.

Putting the two hot sweet potatoes in his hand on Gu Heng's table, he smiled, "I didn't expect the people here to also eat roasted sweet potatoes, the ones I bought just now are still hot."

"When did you come back?" Didn't I give you a week off?" Looking at the sweet potatoes that were still steaming, Gu Heng was a little surprised.

A few days ago, when winter was about to begin, he promised Li Ran a week's vacation to return to China to visit relatives.

And it's only the fifth day.

Li Ran sighed, his face was a little more embarrassed, and he said while handing Gu Heng the documents,

"I've been at home for four days, it's almost over, so it's better to come back here and be quieter."

Gu Heng also glanced at him, and took it unhurriedly, "Be quieter? Looks like the house is not clean?"

Li Ran pulled the corners of his mouth, couldn't help but sigh, and complained in a low voice, "I went home for four days, I rested for one day, and the remaining three days were all blind dates, I really can't stand it, I hope I don't fall in love in the first twenty-three years, and I hope I can let them hold their grandchildren when I'm twenty-five years old, don't you want to think about this reality......

"I see," Gu Heng sneered, looking down at the document he sent, "Huh? This is...... Casting list?"

"Yes, "High Character Unrequited Love" and "Evaluation Queen", director Kim Jong-hak has screened some actors these days, this is part of the list of candidates, and the official audition will start in a few days, so I want you to take a look at it first."

"Okay, I'll take a look at ...... later" Gu Heng was about to put it away, but he caught a glimpse of a name on it.

「...... What does this mean?" Gu Heng's tone was subtle.

"No, no, I specifically asked," Li Ran waved his hand again and again, "The director thinks that IU's character design route is more suitable for this role, and his popularity in Huaxia is also good, so he wants to invite it, not because of your relationship with the boss."

Gu Heng turned the next page, looked at the character introduction, and pondered silently, "A simple ordinary girl who is not tainted by money, status, and utilitarianism in the world......

Not to mention anything else, just that girl's endless careful thoughts day by day, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't have anything to do with simplicity, right?

Gu Heng shook his head, "Forget it, I know."

"That ......"

"Just do what the director wants." Gu Heng waved at him.

"Okay, then I'll go first, remember to eat the sweet potatoes while they're hot."

Holding back a smile, Li Ran left the office.

Because of this, Gu Heng was also a little uneasy.

Flipping through the papers, he looked behind him.

Ahh Ahh

The phone vibrated several times in a row.

[yoona]: Knock knock!

[Yoona]: I made a reservation for the restaurant at noon

[Yoona]: Picture .jpg

[Yoona]: This is the menu I found on the Internet, you see what you want to eat~

Glancing at the time in the upper right corner of the screen, a smile appeared on Gu Heng's face.

After talking to Lin Yuna about having dinner with Sunny a few days ago, she chose this Thai restaurant.

[Gu Heng]: It's only ten o'clock in the morning, and you're going to start preparing lunch?

[Yoona]: Well, I'm hungry (I've touched my stomach to make sure)

[yoona]: The eyes are .jpg Venus

Gu Heng chuckled in the office.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the two hot sweet potatoes on the table, he raised his hand to take a photo, and was about to send it to Lin Yun'er.

[Yoona]: Also, it's been six days and 23 hours since we last met......

Gu Heng stopped sending pictures.

After thinking for two seconds, he put the two sweet potatoes that were still hot in his hands into a small bag, stuffed the unfinished documents into his briefcase, and pulled a long coat.

......

Five minutes later.

In the car, Gu Heng sighed into his hands and immediately stepped on the accelerator.

If you don't see you for six days, you might as well not see it for seven days.
