Reboot the heyday

Chapter 3480 Becoming White Without Hesitation
The bathhouse really needs to be taken seriously.

We really need to broaden our horizons. We have everything for eating, drinking, and having fun. Should we hire a few more technicians?
Just kidding, why would he hire a masseuse? Wang Taika isn't that kind of frivolous person. Anyway, he's determined to open this bathhouse.

I immediately called the duck king and told him to get this done as soon as possible. We should start looking for a place to renovate now, so that when he goes to Korea again, we can take over the project directly.

Duck King was already immune to Wang Taika's impulsive nature, so he simply agreed and then asked obsequiously, "Should we hire a few technicians?"

“I don’t want to do this,” Wang Taika said. “In principle, it’s not okay. What if others see what’s going on?”

The Duck King was speechless: "It's not allowed in principle, but you don't have any principles. Don't worry, there won't be any messy things. You don't need that, why would you care about these things?"

Clearly, a guy like Duck King can't understand what a proper meal, takeout, or snacks are.

"Alright, you decide what to do." Wang Taika was actually just joking; he didn't really think much of ordinary people.

Even if he has so many female confidantes, it's impossible for him to just call them over for a massage or foot reflexology when he's tired, right? Can you imagine that scene? It's fine as a bit of fun occasionally, but if you really want to be waited on like that, then it's not very interesting.

The Duck King said, "Okay, I'll hurry up and train a batch. I happen to have quite a few new girls under my command, and I don't know how to arrange them yet."

Wang Taika immediately said, "Don't use trainees for this kind of thing. It has to be voluntary. Don't harm people."

"My god, I don't believe you the most when you say 'don't ruin people'," the Duck King said helplessly. "Besides, I can't possibly waste the company's trainees. Oh, you don't know yet. Lee Seungri was seriously injured in the fire, so he bought several nightclubs under his name. One of them was bought by Goldfish, along with the people inside. Many of them were forced to work in nightclubs, and now they have nowhere to go if they leave. Please help me find a way."

Wang Taika asked in surprise, "Where did she get so much money?"

“Hey, don’t underestimate BLACKPINK’s money-making ability. And with so many goldfish resources, even though they’ve only been around for a short time, they’ve really made a lot of money,” Duck King said. “Besides, Lee Seungri was in a hurry to sell, and the price wasn’t high. She bought it to save people, but now that she’s bought it, she has to keep operating it, otherwise she’ll lose a lot of money.”

Wang Taika is opening a bathhouse, and Jinyu is opening a nightclub? Okay, this crazy thought process is typical of the whole family.

However, Wang Taika found the goldfish's actions rather foolish and completely unnecessary. Why would someone who is usually so intelligent suddenly spend money on something like this? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"Fine, if they can't be trainees, they still have to go to nightclubs, so they'll have to be technicians. But are they willing?" Wang Taika asked, half-laughing, half-crying, "Isn't working in a nightclub more lucrative?"

The Duck King said, "Didn't I just say that those women were threatened into working as hostesses? They were exploited terribly, and some weren't even paid. What's wrong with being a technician? As long as you don't harm people, at least they're doing a respectable job."

Wang Taika retorted angrily, "What kind of talk is that!"

The gigolo continued, "You have no idea how miserable those girls are. They were all from normal families, but they were drugged, photographed, and threatened into working as prostitutes, gradually falling into depravity. Now that they have a chance to start over, of course they're willing."

Wang Taika wasn't really moved by the suffering of others. He just thought that since it was something Jinyu wanted to do, he would help.

It's quite shameful to admit, but from beginning to end, Jin Yu never contacted him. Although he provided resources, it was all thanks to Jin Yu's own hard work. Later, whether on stage or in variety shows, she was the one desperately trying to win over fans. Even Jin Yu's desire to go to university was something Wang Taika found out by accident, when Jin Yu was already facing exams.

That's completely incompetent; it's embarrassing just thinking about it. So Wang Taika will definitely agree to this.

After ending the call with Duck King, Bae Baek-chai looked at Wang Tai-ka's expression and asked, "Weren't you going to give instructions about work? Why do you look like that?"

Wang Taika then told him about the goldfish.

After hearing the whole story, Pei Baicai was a little angry and felt indignant on behalf of the goldfish: "You're being so irresponsible."

Wang Taika said awkwardly, "I've been busy too." "Hehe, don't make me laugh," Bae Baek-jae asked, "Which university are you at? Sungkyunkwan or Dongguk University?"

Both universities have specialized programs for idol artists. Once they become famous, they can obtain a respectable degree from these programs. Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing for an idol to discover that they haven't attended university.

Wang Taika scratched his head: "No, she told me last time that she didn't want to study this kind of major that is specifically designed for idols. She wanted to experience a real university, so she studied the courses on her own and took the exams properly."

Pei Baicai exclaimed in surprise: "South Korea's college entrance exam is very difficult! Did Jinyu study on her own?"

“She says she’s self-taught, but she definitely had a tutor. But Jinyu is quite smart, and she didn’t actually fall behind in her academic studies. You know about her past experiences, but she did have academic studies before that. After all, a real gift isn’t just a pretty vase,” Wang Taika explained.

"Stop talking, the more I hear, the more upset I get." Pei Baicai looked at Wang Taika: "You saved her, but then you don't care about her anymore. That's really something."

Wang Taika said, "I'm already doing a great job by saving her, okay? I believe in natural selection. She needs to have her own beliefs and doesn't need others to force her to study."

Pei Baicai, too lazy to listen to Wang Taika's excuses, asked, "So which university is it?"

Wang Taika said, "I remember that her initial goal was a pretty average university. But her grades were surprisingly good, so she chose a very unpopular major and went to a good university."

Pei Baicai squinted: "So, you forgot your name?"

"I'll call and ask right now." Wang Taika quickly called Jinyu.

At this time, the goldfish had just returned home to rest. Seeing Wang Taika's call, she was somewhat surprised and delighted, and happily answered the call.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Wang Taika was a little embarrassed to ask, so he could only offer some words of comfort and concern.

This amused the goldfish: "Dad must have something to tell me. Just say it, why are you hesitating?"

Wang Taika changed the subject: "I heard from Duck King that you acquired a nightclub. He explained the situation to me. I will help you settle those girls who were coerced. At least they will have temporary jobs, and once things are settled, they can come and go as they please."

"Oh? Thank you, Dad! You're so kind!" The goldfish was overjoyed.

"But don't be so stubborn in the future. There's no need to get involved in these things; you can't possibly manage them all," Wang Taika patiently advised. "Some things aren't black and white. The world is a gray area, have you heard that saying?"

"But, Father!"

Goldfish interrupted Wang Taika, unusually, and said seriously, "It is because there are still people who are trying their best to protect Bai, getting infinitely closer to Bai, and risking their lives to become Bai that this world is gray."

"However, if we assume everything is gray from the beginning, then the world will be completely black."

Wang Taika was speechless after being rebuked, and immediately became furious: "What do you know about right and wrong, you're just a kid!"

Pei Baicai, who was listening nearby, was so angry that she laughed. Wang Taika, that bastard, is really shameless!
