The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

"What's there to say?"

"Regarding the collaboration..."

"Ah, cooperation? No rush. How about I talk to them first?"

Han Zhengtai almost cried when he heard this.

How can you do things this way?

He'll pull out a gun at the drop of a hat, what can he do?

"Executive Director Ding, don't be impulsive. We can talk this out calmly. We can't..."

Han Zhengtai forced a smile and carefully chose his words.

"I've been trying to talk to you properly!"

Ding Xin interrupted him directly, then stared intently into his eyes and said, word by word, "This is how we at Jinmen Group do things..."

Chapter 142 Cooperation Negotiated

Intimidated by Ding Xin's imposing presence, Han Zhengtai finally regained some clarity.

He is a media professional.

I know more or less about the Kinmen Group.

When Han Zhengtai first entered, he was also deceived by Ding Xin's gentle appearance.

They mistook Ding Xin's politeness for a humble attitude of needing something from him.

I thought he was easy to talk to.

Subconsciously, he assumed that Ding Xin would be just as obsequious as the others who had come to him for favors in the past.

As the conversation progressed, his attitude became increasingly arrogant.

For a moment, they truly forgot about the Jinmen Group's ruthless background and instead regarded Ding Xin as the president of an ordinary small film and television company.

It was through an introduction, a humble visit.

However, he was very wrong.

At that moment, Ding Xin's actions served as a stark wake-up call for him.

Let him know.

What exactly is the real Kinmen Group?

This is not some fledgling conglomerate at all; it is essentially a rogue group composed of a pack of wolves.

And yet, this mere television station director dared to act all high and mighty in front of Ding Xin.

That would be a bit presumptuous.

"Executive Director Ding, I've been thinking about this again..."

Han Zhengtai spoke with a serious expression and clear enunciation: "Yoo Seok-jae is indeed very suitable for the show 'Infinite Challenge'!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Ding Xin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and asked with a smile.

This guy is much more obedient now.

Actually, Ding Xin initially wanted to show him some respect.

Ding Xin originally thought that since Mu Xianmin was the middleman, recommending an artist to the show shouldn't be a problem.

With the intention of long-term friendly cooperation.

Even though the minister was late, Ding Xin still spoke to him gently.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't take Ding Xin's politeness seriously.

They really won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences!

Did he really think Ding Xin was giving him face?

"Yes, Seok Jae-ssi is an old acquaintance of mine. I really admire his abilities, especially his comedic talent, which is a perfect fit for this 'Infinite Challenge' program..."

Han Zhengtai spoke at length in a very serious manner.

It's truly remarkable that he could come up with so many reasons in such a short time.

"Hehe, is that so?"

Ding Xin flicked the ash from his cigarette and said with a playful tone, "Then, Minister Han, you won't force me this time, will you?"

"Executive Director Ding, what are you saying? You're not forcing me at all!"

Han Jung-tae sat upright, as if the gun barrel in front of him didn't exist, and said with righteous indignation: "It is an honor for our MBC Variety Department to have such an excellent artist as Yoo Seok-jae participate!"

"Um..."

Ding Xin gave a faint "hmm" and put the pistol away, somewhat bored.

Then, he gave Wu Xiuyan a wink.

Wu Xiuyan immediately understood, took out a document bag from her handbag, and handed it over.

Ding Xin reached out and took it, casually weighed it in his hand, and then tossed the file bag directly in front of Han Zhengtai.

"this..."

Han Zhengtai, who had been secretly relieved when he saw Ding Xin put away his pistol, tensed up again.

He had no idea what kind of trouble Ding Xin was planning to cause this time.

"Don't be nervous!"

Ding Xin, a cigarette dangling from his lips, said casually, "This is Liu Shi's resume. I believe Minister Han will like it..."

After saying that, she raised her chin, indicating that he could take a look.

Han Zhengtai's Adam's apple bobbed, he let out a long breath, and cautiously picked up the file bag in front of him, opening it gently.

They looked so cautious, as if they had encountered some kind of raging flood or ferocious beast.

But the next moment.

His eyes widened, and he looked at Ding Xin in disbelief.

......

We left the MBC television station headquarters building.

Ding Xin stretched contentedly, finally finished.

Just think about the expression on Minister Han's face at that time.

Ding Xin found it somewhat amusing.

The file folder certainly didn't contain any resumes.

It was a vibrant green Franklin!

Giving a stick and then a sweet date is a tactic that has been used and proven effective since ancient times.

Of course, Ding Xin didn't initially intend to use force.

He came with the intention of making friends.

But who told Minister Han to be so tactless...?

Fortunately, Grandpa Ding was good at persuading people with reason, which prevented him from losing what he thought was a sure thing.

Thinking of this, Ding Xin instructed Liu Shi, who was standing beside him: "The concept for 'Infinite Challenge' is excellent; it's bound to be a hit. You need to do a good job, and you'll likely become famous overnight..."

Liu Shi quickly and respectfully agreed.

Although he didn't know why Ding Xin was so sure.

Regardless, the boss has already placed the opportunity in front of him; the rest is up to him to seize it.

Ding Xin nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

......

MBC Headquarters Building, Variety Department.

The reception room.

After Ding Xin and his group left, Han Zhengtai and his female assistant finally relaxed completely.

Han Zhengtai slumped into a chair, loosened his collar, and gasped for breath as if he had just been reborn.

His back was already soaked with sweat...

The assistant standing next to her was so weak in the knees that she almost collapsed.

After calming herself down a bit, the female assistant asked in a low voice, "Manager, do we really need to change the cast for that program?"

"What should I do?"

Han Zhengtai's tone suddenly rose, and he said angrily, "Damn it, that really scared me to death..."
