Perfect Husband: Victor
LFG
The Loveland Financial Group, and the capabilities of its CEO, Victor, who built it into a massive corporation in 8 years since its founding, is said to be legendary in the business world.
They are the only investor in our company.
Hannah
All of the funding had been withdrawn with no explanation!
- 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐡, 𝐓𝐕 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐫 -
Hannah
I'm begging you, please connect me with the person in charge of this!
Cindy (receptionist)
With regards to the investment, our CEO makes the final decisions on everything.
Hannah
Then please let me meet with him!
Cindy (receptionist)
Are you asking for a death wish?!
Victor
Goldman, I want the analysis of this month's investments delivered to me within 10 minutes.
Hannah
*walks in front of Victor*
Hannah
I'm here on behalf of the Miracle Entertainment.
Hannah
I have to talk with the CEO regarding the withdrawal of our funding.
Hannah
Just as I have said. Please tell me why, I can't accept this!
Victor
Regardless of how small the company may be, to think someone who doesn't know how to make an appointment would be their representative...
Hannah
... I apologize for that.
Victor
Thar is not why I withdrew your funding, however.
Victor
No idiot would invest in something with no future.
Victor
You merely cling religiously to your predecessor's methods while rotting away like trash.
Victor
What expectations should I have of you?
Hannah
I'll make you regret this Victor!
Hannah
In five years, I will stand on top of this industry!
Hannah
So don't come crying to me if you regret your decision! Understand?!
Victor
Try and make me then... If you can.
________________________________
LFG, the a few days later
*The story will change now based on Hannah's perspective.
Hannah
Hey why is Goldman not here again, I made an appointment today!
The staff looked at me, trying not to laugh.
I guess what happened that day is still watercooler talk at LFG, I felt a little flushed.
Hannah
I came to report to the CEO...
Staff
Goldman is probably working on something else. Just wait at the door of the CEO's office. It's on the 4th floor, end of the hallway.
I waited at the door as told.
The door opened earlier than I thought-- and the person who went out wasn't Victor.
Instead in was a hot figure in haute couture, with a sexy face. Her collar and lipstick-- a little disheveled.
Then those limpid eyes that the whole world could fall in love with were leveled at me. It was the winner of the Best New Supporting Actress-- Chik!
What is she oidng walking out of Victor's office like this?
Chik
This is the CEO'S office. What're you doing here?
Hannah
I am the head of the Miracle Finder Company. I'm here to deliver a work report...
Chik
Enough, I don't want to hear your clumsy excuses.
Hannah
(Well you asked, didn't you?)
Chik
Miracle Finder Company... So you're Hannah? Hehe, I heard about the stupid things you did.
Chik
I warn you. Don't harbor any unrealistic fantasies about Victor.
Apparently, Chik misunderstood something. She seeted hostility at me.
Leaving me no chance to explain, Chik pompously strode off.
... So there was something going on between Victor and this superstar after all. 👀
Is this an unspoken 'business arrangement'? Or a secret love that they don't want others to know about?
Getting gossip on Victor firsthand... countless possibilities flashed through my mind.
If I mess up with the report... Is it possible for me to threaten him with this? 😏
Then I thought of Victor's chilliing face, then I instantly trashed the idea.
The door was left open. I took a look inside.
Victor is frowning, seemingly worrying about something--And his tie is loosened.
Hannah
Sir, may I come in?
I carefully reminded him.
Victor looked down and hurriedly fixed his tie. Then he stopped, seeming to think of something.
Victor
When... Did you get here?
Hannah
When Chik was leaving.
He frowned again. I rushed to explain myself before he could speak.
Hannah
Sorry for the misunderstanding! I will find a chance to explain it to her!
Victor
Why do you care about her opinion so much?
Victor
There is nothing between us. Don't go around spreading any rumors.
That's quite different from what I saw...
... But actually, there has never been a peep of gossip about a romance between Victor and Chik.
And Chik has always said publicily that she's single...
Hannah
Oh, rest assured sir, I won't say a thing. ... I will keep it to myself.
Victor
You'll keep what to yourself? You've got nothing to keep.
Hannah
Right, right, I know nothing.
Victor
*clears throat* Forget it, why are you here?
Hannah
I've come to deliver -- the report that would make you regret.
Yes, I hooked his attention!
Victor
Did you produce that feature for City News?
Hannah
Yes! We had a pleasant collaboration and are installs to make it long-term.
Victor
So even on the edge on bankruptcy, you can talk collaboration with a TV station?
Hannah
Because I know that I can definitely make you regret it.
Hannah
And the LFG's investment is sure to be mine!
I held my chin up, trying to appear more confident.
Victor seemed very relaxed, yet still exuding an air of dominance. He looked at me, giving a quiet laugh.
Victor
If I invest in you, how long will it take to
monopolize film and TV production from the 4 major stations?
If I can get through this content predicament, I can at least give it my best shot.
Hannah
What? The enterprise reform of Loveland TV alone will take five years!
Hannah
How?! Nobody can do that!
Victor
If you can't, then leave here.
I already made it this far. How can I give up now?
Hannah
Three... and a half years..
Victor picked up the phone.
Hannah
Wait... Two years, two years!
Victor
Good, to our partnership then!
Victor
The investment approval procedure will be initiated next week.
Souvenir
Victor
For LFG to finance your company again, I have two conditions.
Victor
First, show me what you're capable of.
Victor
If, after the airing of the next episode, is trending on social media in the top ten, I will acknowledge that you have minimum production capability required.
Hannah
Th-that'll be easy.
Victor
Second, you will assemble a comprehensive business plan and submit it to me within a week.
Victor
If you meet the conditions, I will re-evaluate your financing.
Hannah
Re-evaluate, not re-instate?
Hannah
I will not waste this opportunity.
Anna
AHH YESS WERE TRENDING!!
Hannah
Cleared the first condition!
Victor
And what of the second?
(Shoot! I totally forgot about the second! Arrghh I'm so dumb...)
I guess I have to work overnight today...
I spent the whole night preparing the report, and as a result, I was able to finish it before due, although it was a total mess. 😔😭
______________________________
The next day, Victor didn't approve my report due to my lack of preparation.
(He was really disappointed.. 🤧😣)
To stand on top of the industry in five years, to make me eat my own words, no matter how stupid you might be, I'm sure you remember.
Hannah
(Oh come on! Does he really have to call me stupid? )
Victor
If you have a rebuttal, then speak.
Hannah
I wasn't able to prepare properly for today, but next time, I will have something that you'll approve.
Victor
Idiots tend to make statements like that without thinking them through.
Hannah
I know I'm in the wrong here.
Hannah
But this nagging jerk makes me so angry! 😠
Victor
If you intend to make an idiotic show for idiots made by idiots, then look elsewhere.
Kiki
I seriously can't believe this!
Kiki
Why would you go out on your way to make his impression of us worse?
Hannah
Please stop. I get it already.
Anna
For now, let's gather up the program plans we have here.
Kiki
We do have a trump card to play...
Kiki
In coming up with an interesting idea for this episode, an expert friend of mine might do something for us.
Hannah
So who is this friend of yours?
Kiki
Kiro Anderson. He's been my best friend since junior high.
Hannah
May I see a photo of him?
Kiki
He just posted this an hour ago.
Hannah
Wow. It's a small world after all. He's my third cousin, Ki!
Kiki
Woah... I didn't know that.
Kiki
He's a really friendly guy.. You're lucky.
Hannah
(I smell something...)
Kiki
*clears throat* Ahem, so he actually wrote a few articles, but this one is my favorite: "Whather you have the Best Memories or the Worst of Traumas, let's go to Souvenir restaurant!"
Kiki
Because the reviews are pretty interesting!
Kiki
Every review rates the food really high, but the restaurant itself is rated really low.
Kiki
"The pudding is alive! If I'm not careful, it might run out of my mouth!"
Kiki
"This place is the worst, but I just keep coming back!"
Kiki
"Just shut up and sell the pudding!"
Hannah
Pudding seems to be their hottest item.
Hannah
If we can combine these two ideas and what led us to them, then present them all together...
Anna
Sounds great! I want to see that!
Hannah
I'll write a proposal by tomorrow morning!
