Solo Farming In The Tower Chapter 834 107: A Christmas Eve Miracle (2) / 831
TL: Hanguk
-SKC Broadcasting Station will distribute any additional revenue generated, aside from the first airing profit of 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas', in agreement with Park Sejun, guardian of Taecho and 28 others.
"Hehehe. As expected, it was a good idea to include this clause in the contract."
Sejun grinned in satisfaction as he looked over the contract he signed with Kim Hye-na.
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park is amazing as always, meow! A genius, meow!"
"Hahaha. I am a genius, but… huh?!"
He puffed up with pride at Theo's flattery
Chairman Park's face is rotting, meow!
Theo's eyes sparkled as he gained justification to step on Sejun's face.
"Hey! It's cheating to do that after complimenting… ugh!"
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi will treat Dad too!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. With this, the great Blackie has secured one more roasted and dried sweet potato!]
"Daddy, hold still! Taecho will fix you!"
"YamYam is recording a kind deed!"
"Heheh. Gomgom too! Kinddeed!"
Although Sejun felt very wronged, he eventually became a sacrificial offering, getting his face stepped on by Theo, companions, and the children to accumulate good deed records.
A little while later.
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park's face is now tolerable to look at, meow!"
Only after Sejun's face improved from the loving foot massage did Theo and the rest of the party remove their feet from his face.
"Vice Chairman Theo, we don't have time for this."
"Puhuhut. That's right, meow! We have to go collect the money, meow!"
"Let's try calling first."
As Sejun picked up the phone, the rest of the party subtly stepped away, pretending to be busy with other things.
They seemed to think Sejun was going out to prepare Christmas presents again today.
Meanwhile
-The person you are calling is currently…
Kim Hye-na was in the shower and couldn't answer the phone.
"Don't tell me she's deliberately not picking up?"
"Chairman Park, I have a bad feeling about this, meow! Kim Hye-na is trying to sneak away the money behind our backs, meow! Let's hurry and catch her in the act, meow!"
Sejun and Theo's suspicions that Kim Hye-na was trying to secretly gobble up the revenue without their knowledge grew stronger.
And then
"Guys, we're heading out for a bit!"
Sejun, Theo, and Iona hurried toward SKC Broadcasting Station.
***
SKC Broadcasting Station lobby.
If the meeting goes well, I'll contact Sejun-nim right away.
Heeheehih. He'll surely like it, right?
Dressed in full makeup, a suit, and red high heels, her own kind of battle attire, Kim Hye-na passed through the revolving doors of the broadcasting station with a sly smile.
But first, I need to handle the negotiation well!
She couldn't bear to report poor contract terms to Sejun.
Clack. Clack.
As the sound of Kim Hye-na's determined footsteps echoed in the lobby, full of resolve,
"Chairman Park, I found her, meow! There's Kim Hye-na, meow!"
"…?!"
Theo, clinging to Sejun's knee, pointed at Kim Hye-na with a sharp voice from behind a potted plant in the broadcasting station lobby where they were hiding.
Seeing how she dressed up like that, is she really planning to take the money and flee abroad?
PD Kim Hye-na, I trusted you, but this is disappointing.
Sejun approached Kim Hye-na with a stern expression.
At that moment
"Ah. Sejun-nim, I was just about to call you! Sejun-nim, thank you so much! Thanks to you, I'm having a meeting with Yukflix and Sitzny!"
Kim Hye-na bowed at a 90-degree angle with a moved expression, expressing her gratitude.
"Puhuhut. That's right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo's friend, always live with gratitude toward the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!"
Theo, who had been angry, immediately got excited and chattered away. He never got tired of seeing Sejun being praised. Of course, the one who should be praising Sejun the most was himself.
"Of course, you must also be grateful to me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!"
Theo also made sure to collect credit for himself. He was very thorough.
"I tried calling…"
"Ah. Sorry! I've been getting too many calls, so I set it to Do Not Disturb…."
"Ah…."
Once the misunderstanding was cleared
"But what meeting are you talking about?"
Sejun asked about what he was curious about.
"Ah. Yukflix and Sitzny showed interest in the kids' videos I uploaded on YouTube…."
Kim Hye-na explained the situation.
Then
"Puhuhut. Kim Hye-na! Leave the meeting to us, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am the King of Sellouts who sold out every auction item, meow!"
After boasting about himself, Theo added,
"And our great hybrid Chairman Park is the one who raised me, meow!"
He then lifted both front paws and praised Sejun.
"That's right. Of course. I raised Vice Chairman Theo exceptionally well."
Sejun nodded with a smug expression.
"Puhuhut. That's right, meow! I grew up wonderfully, meow!"
Theo also nodded proudly.
"No, I mean, we need to talk to the director too…."
"Haak! Are you ignoring our great hybrid Chairman Park right now, meow?! Chairman Park outranks the director, meow! Call the director immediately, meow!"
"Vice Chairman Theo, calm down. We need to consider PD Hye-na's position too. PD Kim Hye-na, please guide us to the director. We'll handle it."
"…Okay."
When Kim Hye-na led Sejun into the director's office,
"…Wait. Why is Kyung-chul-nim's friend…?"
Jung Chan-soo looked confused as he turned to Kim Hye-na.
"Well, that is…."
Kim Hye-na began to explain the current situation.
The one managing the children who are now appearing in YouTube videos with explosive view counts was Sejun.
She tried to phrase it gently by saying that it would be good for Sejun to join the negotiation as well, but from straight-to-the-point Theo's perspective, it wasn't enough.
"Puhuhut. Director Chan-soo, subordinate of Kyung-chul, should quickly hand over full authority to our great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!"
He boldly demanded exactly what he wanted.
And then
"…I will hand it over."
Jung Chan-soo readily passed all authority to Sejun.
No matter how influential Yukflix and Sitzny were, they couldn't compare to the power of Earth's strongest hunter, Oh Kyung-chul.
Frankly, even if Oh Kyung-chul stormed into Yukflix and Sitzny, the U.S. government wouldn't be able to stop him. His combat strength was that overwhelming. He wasn't called Earth's strongest hunter for nothing.
Especially recently, with two items rated S-class or higher received as housewarming gifts from someone, Kyung-chul was now considered beyond-Earth-level.
So it was extremely burdensome to upset Sejun, Kyung-chul's best friend. It was better to throw away the negotiation with Yukflix and Sitzny.
The situation turned out a bit different from what he knew, but…
104.28.193.250
'Well, I achieved my goal anyway.'
Sejun decided to let Director Jung Chan-soo's misunderstanding slide.
It would only be annoying to explain things like how Kyung-chul wouldn't be able to handle even one of his fingers, or how even 10,000 Kyung-chuls couldn't defeat him. It wouldn't look cool either.
Anyway, Sejun now had full authority over the meeting with Yukflix and Sitzny.
"Hehehe. Where is the meeting taking place? Will any celebrities be there?"
Excited about his first-ever meeting at a broadcasting station.
"Puhuhut. Bring all the celebrities Chairman Park wants, meow!"
As Sejun got excited, Theo also got excited.
"Kyoo-kyoo–No actresses allowed!"
It would be a disaster if Aileen-nim found out!
And what if any of them tried to flirt with my wonderful Theo-nim!
Except for Iona.
"No. Only the general directors from Yukflix and Sitzny will be coming."
Thankfully, the situation Iona worried about didn't arise.
While they were chatting
Bzzzt.
Director Jung Chan-soo's smartphone vibrated.
-Director, how about the Japanese restaurant in front of SKC Broadcasting Station? You like sushi, right?
It was a message from Yukflix's Lee So-min.
"Japanese food in this situation?! Call them to the company cafeteria. I'll cook myself."
"Huh?"
"I know Sejun-nim is a good cook… but why cook personally during a license deal meeting…?"
"That's right. It's not just because I like Japanese food, but that restaurant is good for both the food and conversation."
Kim Hye-na and Jung Chan-soo tried to dissuade Sejun, but
"Meow! Our great hybrid Chairman Park always has a plan, meow! So do as Chairman Park says, meow!"
Theo cut them off angryly.
As expected, Chairman Park is a genius, meow!
He's going to use Chairman Park's ultimate move: feed them first, then seal the deal, meow!
Theo believed Sejun was about to use that incredible technique that he himself had once fallen victim to and could never escape.
'First rule of negotiation.'
Make the other person feel good with delicious food!
Sejun simply had a modest thought, to create a good atmosphere by serving delicious food and take the lead in the negotiation.
Puhuhut. But once you eat Chairman Park's food, you have to repay an enormous amount of money, meow! Chairman Park's cooking is expensive, meow!
Theo was already imagining the scenario that would unfold after Sejun used his ultimate technique.
"Puhuhut. In that case, of course we'll be able to demand a tremendously high drama licensing fee in return for the great hybrid Chairman Park's cooking, meow!"
Additionally, Theo was planning to generously offer a profit split with the broadcasting station at about 99.9 to 0.1. Naturally, Sejun would get 99.9. Giving away 0.1% was Theo's idea of generosity.
And so, with Sejun unaware of the deadly trap(?) he was setting up,
"Bae Hyun-jung?"
"…Lee So-min?"
Lee So-min and Bae Hyun-jung, Asia-Pacific general directors of Yukflix and Sitzny respectively, ran into each other in front of SKC Broadcasting Station's cafeteria.
Director Jung Chan-soo, so this is how you're going to pit us against each other?
There's no way I'm losing to Yukflix!
Neither of them hid the displeasure in their expressions as they looked at each other.
Just then.
"Huh?"
"Hm?"
The two, lured by a delicious smell, suddenly walked into the cafeteria as if hypnotized.
And then.
"Puhuhut. That was a good deal, meow!"
"…?!"
"…?!"
Before they knew it, the two had affixed their stamps side by side on the contracts Theo handed them.
F… fifty billion won?! Bae Hyun-jung, what did you do?!
I stamped a contract agreeing to pay 50 billion for a single-episode drama that's not even exclusive?!
The two were horrified at what they had just done. At this point, they might not just get fired, but be hit with compensation lawsuits too.
"Puhuhut. I'll put the money to good use, meow!"
Theo waved the contracts in front of them with a wicked smile.
And so, the next day after the contracts were signed.
"How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas" began airing at 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve on SKC, and simultaneously on Yukflix and Sitzny.
Of course, the contents of the drama had been drastically altered from the original, now simply showing Taecho and the future Creator Gods eating and playing around in a meaningless video.
And then, miracles began to happen to those who watched the drama.
Someone regained their hearing. Another had a family member in a coma awaken. Someone else, after years of trying, finally succeeded in proposing.
The accumulated causality from people watching the drama featuring the future Creator Gods brought forth miracles.
And while miracles were happening on Earth.
"Guys, are you ready?"
"Puhuhut. All ready, meow!"
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi is ready too!]
(Pip-pip. Sejun-nim, me too!)
Kking! Kking!
[Butler! I want to take off this headband! It's uncomfortable!]
"Hey! Park Blackie, stay still!"
Kking! Kking!
[No! It's uncomfortable!]
"Alright. If you keep it on, I'll give you five roasted and dried sweet potatoes."
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! From now on, the great Blackie is the great Blackdolph!] (TL: Blackie + Rudolph = Blackdolph)
"Daddy, Taecho wants to pull the sleigh with oppas too!"
Sejun prepared for his Santa part-time job together with his companions, who were all dressed as Rudolph.
