Bamboo Forest Manager

163 – 158. Infiltration

– Anonymous111: Yes.

I calmly got up from my seat as I looked at the reply that came from Popo yesterday.

It was a refreshing morning.

I thought I should probably skip class today.

– Kim Woojin: Can you please take attendance for me?

I sent the message and soon received a reply.

– Seo Yerim: ? You sent it to the wrong person.

– Kim Woojin: I sent it to the right person.

– Seo Yerim: ??? How can I take attendance for you?

– Seo Yerim: I’m a girl.

– Kim Woojin: Can’t you do it if you learn?

– Seo Yerim: I’m an aspiring actress, and only comedians do voice impressions, you idiot.

It felt strange to hear Seo Yerim call me an idiot.

I felt a little bad, but there was no one else who took the same class as me.

It made my heart ache to think that my contacts were so limited.

I wanted to just lie down in the dorm today, but I barely managed to pull myself together.

– Seo Yerim: Are you not going to class today?

– Kim Woojin: I have something to do. Something like a mission.

– Seo Yerim: Then buy me some snacks for my room. It was a little boring when I went last time.

– Kim Woojin: Didn’t I say I have a mission?

– Seo Yerim: I don’t know.

She must think so lightly of it because she doesn’t know the seriousness of the situation.

I put on my hat and black coat and went outside the dorm.

I didn’t need to go anywhere else. I got in a taxi and headed straight for the city.

Popo was attending Ga-Hyun University, so she must have been living nearby.

I had already solved all the riddles.

Anonymous300 was a stalker, but he said he didn’t know where Popo lived.

However, I had the key.

‘The first thing someone in danger will do is ask for help.’

In fact, the first signal Popo sent was an explanation of her current situation, being trapped.

So what’s next?

‘Of course, it’s a location briefing.’

If she said she was trapped, it would be natural for her to say where she was.

‘I’m trapped.’

I might have just skipped over the word after ‘I’m trapped’ because I focused too much on the word ‘trapped.’

But there’s no way someone asking for help would have written nonsense.

According to my reasoning, ‘yo’ meant the place where Popo was or nearby.

And now I’m here.

Cafe ‘eat yo’

It was quite difficult to find at first, but it was easy to find when I changed the Korean to English.

‘I could have been a detective.’

I thought seriously about becoming a detective as I looked around the cafe.

The building had a total of 6 floors.

There was a cafe on the first floor and a hookah bar on the second floor. There were no signs or nameplates from the third floor up.

However, when I watched from a distance, I could see people’s shadows in the windows or catch them smoking.

The thrill of solving the riddle was short-lived.

In the end, reality came to me.

Even if I confirmed it, there was nothing I could do directly.

Should I report it to the police?

Should I tell Yoon Jihan?

I didn’t like either of those options.

Maybe that’s why.

I ordered a cup of coffee at the cafe and after a moment of contemplation, I said,

“What the heck, let’s do it.”

I started moving right away.

* * *

A few days later.Recently, Yoo Ah-rin, who has become quite famous in college, takes a deep breath and looks at the cafe in front of her.

Cafe eat yo.

The name seems to be trying too hard to be trendy with the “yo” at the end.

It was a cafe that was rumored to have bad coffee.

‘I’m more nervous than I thought.’

She’s about to go into action.

A few days ago, Yoo Ah-rin’s shorts were leaked and the word spread through Oh Yoon-ji’s company’s internet broadcasters.

It didn’t take long for Rainbow to contact Yoo Ah-rin.

Yoo Ah-rin also said she would consider it positively and came to meet them right away.

Now, all they have to do is go together, find out the location, figure out the internal situation, and then raid it.

She’s just a decoy.

She was told that she wouldn’t have to do anything once she got inside, but Yoo Ah-rin is an ordinary person.

She couldn’t help but be nervous.

“It’s okay.”

And that’s why.

Oh Yoon-ji patted her on the back and smiled.

“I’ll be with you. Don’t worry. I’ve got the company security with me.”

“Yeah, I’m not nervous at all.”

Of course, it was dangerous for Yoo Ah-rin to go undercover alone.

Oh Yoon-ji volunteered to go with her.

She’s good-looking, but she’s not well-known enough to be recognized by her face.

She planned to pretend to be a friend who wanted to do internet broadcasting with her.

As they entered the cafe, a large man with a crew cut recognized them and waved.

“This way.”

The man greeted them with a cheerful smile.

Yoo Ah-rin and Oh Yoon-ji greeted him back and sat down on the chairs.

“Oh my, you’re even prettier in person. I’m Han Oh-seok from Rainbow’s marketing team.”

“I’m Yoo Ah-rin! Nice to meet you!”

“Who’s this?”

Han Oh-seok looked at Oh Yoon-ji. It was obvious that he was interested in Oh Yoon-ji’s appearance.

Oh Yoon-ji smiled skillfully and introduced herself.

“I’m Oh Yoon-ji. I’m Ah-rin’s college friend. I really want to do internet broadcasting too!”

“Oh! So you came with your friend? Yoon-ji, you’re good-looking too?”

Han Oh-seok barely managed to keep his lips from splitting.

Yoo Ah-rin and Oh Yoon-ji.

Internet broadcasting is half-eaten if you’re pretty, and these two were the type to make money just by being on screen.

Swallowing his saliva, Han Oh-seok smiled and began to explain.

He said that they created the best environment for internet broadcasters and even operated a dormitory system so that they could interact with each other.

“Well, it’s not that far away. We use the entire three floors above this one. If you ever want to go home, you can go anytime.”

It was obvious that he was lying.

Yoo Ah-rin and Oh Yoon-ji nodded their heads as innocently as possible.

They were excited about the prospect of making their debut on internet broadcasting and fulfilling their dreams.

“Don’t singers and idols have a long preparation period? It takes a lot of money to learn and earn as much. But not internet broadcasting.”

Han Oh-seok continued to talk at length, only with things that would entice the two of them.

“There’s nothing to learn here, and it doesn’t cost anything. All you need is a computer or a cell phone! No risk if you fail! But high return!”

Thinking that the atmosphere had mellowed, Han Oh-seok discreetly took out a contract.

“Read it carefully. If there’s anything you don’t understand, please let me know. I’ll explain it to you.”

“Yes.”

Oh Yoon-ji looked through the contract carefully. At first glance, it seemed fine, but she could see that there were some toxic provisions mixed in.”Sons of b*tches.”

He knew exactly how to treat internet broadcasters like slaves.

Most of them were students or recent graduates who were just starting out with internet broadcasting.

If he showed them a long and complicated contract like this, they wouldn’t be able to understand it properly no matter how much he explained it.

“The contract seems to be fine, but…”

Oh Yoon-ji hesitated and asked cautiously.

“Can I see the dormitory? I’m a little curious.”

“That’s right! I’m curious too!”

Yoo Ah-rin’s assistant chimed in.

The implication was that they would sign the contract if he showed them that.

“Oh, sure!”

Han Oh-seok nodded briskly and got up from his seat.

“Shall we go up and have a look?”

‘Judging by how confident he is, it seems like he’s prepared to show it off.’

With the intention of just taking a quick look inside, Oh Yoon-ji and Yoo Ah-rin headed upstairs with Han Oh-seok.

“……”

Yoo Ah-rin was more nervous than she thought.

She clenched her fists to hide the sweat forming on her palms.

She thought that if Oh Yoon-ji hadn’t been with her, she might have acted much more awkwardly than she had expected.

Han Oh-seok didn’t stop talking as they climbed the stairs.

Most of it was bragging about his company.

“Since we have celebrities under our management, we don’t put up any signs. We get rid of sasaeng fans. You know what sasaengs are? Last time, the fans were chasing after us so much that-“

“Actually, we’re moving soon. The facilities are good now, but we’re moving to a much better facility. The investors have high hopes for Rainbow’s vision.”

“It’s a bit far away, but it won’t be inconvenient to live there. If any of our broadcasters have any problems, we’ll help them out in any way we can.”

Listening to the stream of words coming out of his mouth, Oh Yoon-ji and Yoo Ah-rin entered the third floor.

The interior was as neat as a private study room.

There were rooms lined up on both sides of the long corridor.

You could see inside through the windows on the doors, and most of them were empty, but there were a few people broadcasting.

“We’ll provide you with a room like this where you can broadcast privately.”

The two of them followed Han Oh-seok as he walked further inside.

On the surface, the facilities seemed to be fine.

If he had simply reported it, he would have gotten away with just a slap on the wrist or no punishment at all.

He needed to get solid evidence.

After passing through a short corridor, they came to a large room.

It looked like a break room.

“You can broadcast and take a break in the break room. We’ll bring you snacks and coffee.”

Han Oh-seok was explaining the break room, but Oh Yoon-ji’s gaze was on the door at the end of the break room.

It looked like an office, but who was in there?

The moment she wondered.

“Okay. Let’s get this done quickly. Got it?”

“Yes! I understand!”

The voices of men could be heard from inside.

Oh Yoon-ji felt a strange sensation for a moment.

“But the money hasn’t come in yet…”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s coming at the end of the month, right? When is the end of the month? There are only three days left.”

“Y, yes!”

“No, Mr. Hwang, do you think I’m going to steal the money? Do I look like that kind of person? Don’t you know who I am? Is that all Rainbow’s vision is worth?”

“No!”

It was a typical gangster conversation.

Yoo Ah-rin had also turned her head to look at the door.

Just then, the door opened with a bang and two men came out.

“Would you like to go out for dinner?”

One of them had a body covered in muscles.One was a gangster with a solid body that could knock someone out with a single punch.

The other was.

“Oh, okay.”

A young man wearing sunglasses.

Even Han O-seok ran to him and bowed his head the moment he saw him, leaving Oh Yoon-ji and Yoo Ah-rin behind.

“Hello, investor! These are the new recruits!”

“Oh, the new contract will……”

The man’s mouth stopped.

His sunglasses slid down slightly and his eyes met the two.

Several things came to Oh Yoon-ji’s mind at once.

‘What are you doing here, Woo-jin?’

‘What do you mean by investor?’

‘Why are the gangsters bowing to you?’

Etc.

There were so many things she wanted to say, but Oh Yoon-ji bit her lip and bowed her head.

“Hello? I’m Oh Yoon-ji?”

“Ahem?! Y, yes. Let’s do it well.”

Looking at Kim Woo-jin, who awkwardly accepted Oh Yoon-ji’s greeting.

Suddenly.

Yoo Ah-rin had such a thought.

‘If that bastard wasn’t the chairman’s son, how the hell would he have lived?’
