One of the leading cinematographers who worked exclusively on the music videos, Jo Na Na, walked inside the room. She was the most successful cinematographer in the industry. She was wearing a beautiful dark blue dress appropriate for clubbing.
Many directors even wanted to cast her in movies and series, but she chose to live for her passion behind the camera than be in front of the camera to help others create their dream. Even though she had worked on a few movies and a handful of series, her speciality was music videos.
She was one of the first cinematographers to sign an exclusive contract with an entertainment company and work solely for that company.
After entering the room, she did not rush in but waited for her companion, who was tying his shoes, to walk in.
Jo Na Na questioned her companion, who was a little behind her. "Did you pacify Kang Eun yet? He was throwing tantrums since he found out CraZe wants you to work for them."
"He blocked me everywhere." Choi Haneul walked inside wearing a suit, but even the three-piece suit did not hide that he was a wild, seductive fox.
There was the roughish charm and the playful look along with mature calmness. He did not dress to impress but to exert his revenge. One look, anyone would know he was not the typical person to mess around.
He looked flirty enough to take someone to bed for a wild night but at the same time brave enough to shove someone ten feet down the ground without breaking a sweat.
Lim Do Yun stood up from his seat in shock. He never expected to see the face he had not seen in years.
Lim Tae Ri also looked shocked, as if she did not expect Choi Haneul to walk in. She made sure her expression matched her cousin's and that she was not overdoing her acting.
Lawyer Rim was satisfied with Lim Do Yun's reaction. Holding back the laugh due to Lim Tae Ri's acting, she called out to Haneul. "Kang Eun is staying at his parents' place. Hope this information helps."
"Cool. I will drop by tomorrow and speak to him." Choi Haneul smiled at lawyer Rim as he naturally took the seat beside her.
Lawyer Rim also smiled at Choi Haneul more kindly as if she knew him well and they were close.
"Choi Haneul?!" Lim Do Yun spoke as if he saw a ghost.
Lim Tae Rim muttered under her breath to keep up her acting. "Oppa?!"
Instead of answering the two people in front of him, Haneul turned towards lawyer Rim. "Have they all signed the confidentiality agreement?"
"Yes!" The lawyer gave the confidentiality agreement to Haneul to examine.
Once he checked the document thoroughly, he addressed the two people.
"I am Choi Haneul. I also go by the name Mr Han, the star choreographer of SMJ." The confidence and arrogance in how he spoke were close to a slap on their face.
"How could this be?!" Lim Do Yun muttered under his breath, wondering how Choi Haneul was still in the entertainment industry after everything that happened.
Choi Haneul did not dignify the reaction of the two people and turned toward the lawyer. "Apart from me, who else is our boss lending to CraZe?"
"Financial team to look at the issues and develop a better plan. Mr Pyo's PR team, one of the recording studios, two lyrics analysts, an acting coach, an idol trainer, one cinematographer and one in-house producer to help them with music production." Lawyer Rim listed everything.
Mr Pyo, who came with lawyer Rim, gave a stinky eye to Choi Haneul, but there was still fondness hidden beneath the look.
"Which cinematographer?" Choi Haneul frowned because he was always at odds with most of their cinematographers.
"Jo Na Na…" Lawyer Rim smiled mischievously.
Choi Haneul was genuinely surprised. He thought his best friend accompanied him tonight to ensure he was not affected by Lim Do Yun. But she went to the extent of going to CraZe for his sake. His heart moved, but he did not show it on his face.
"Look after each other in CraZe." Lawyer Rim looked at the crazy duo with narrowed eyes. It was a warning to make sure one has to stop others from going crazy without first informing the company.
Mr Pyo frowned, genuinely looking at the number of resources his company was willing to share with a company on the losing end. "Since when did our boss become generous?!"
"I heard Lim Tae Ri studied with you guys." Lim Do Yun jumped at the opportunity to show their connection and power. He wanted them to submit to him and his company without any question.
Choi Haneul casually dismissed Lim Do Yun's intention to instil fear in them. "Yeah. But she was never close to our boss."
"Our boss is lazy to have one more company under him. Isn't it obvious he would rather have someone manage in his stead?" Jo Na Na laughed as she leaned back. Her posture was challenging Lim Do Yun to contradict her words.
"Report to CEO directly if there are any issues." Lawyer Rim knew what the mischief duo was up to, and she did not mind giving them a hand in creating a ruckus.
Reporting direct to the CEO was not appreciated even in the small companies. But a big company like SMJ giving such access only proved that they value these employees and they were close to the boss.
"He already told me." Jo Na Na commented as she levelled her glare at Lim Do Yun.
Choi Haneul considered the offer and thought of what issue he needed to solve right away. "I will talk to Kang Eun tomorrow. If he is still against it, I will ask CEO's help or back out from this."
"Stop engaging Kang Eun in all his madness! He is becoming too much of a brat because you pamper him." Jo Na Na glared at Haneul, who simply laughed it off.
"His help extends more than handling our artist tantrum. CraZe entertainment already told us they would treat you all fairly. But if there were any issues, you guys can always return to SMJ without a word. We will handle the repercussion." Lawyer Rim's professional words made everyone divert back to the topic - collaborative company management and sharing resources.
Choi Haneul spoke with a mischievous glint on his face. "I know."
"When did we ever face any consequence? Our company handles things for us well anyway." Jo Na Na rolled her eyes and still refused to behave professionally. She was definitely looking down on CraZe, and she did not even bother to hide it.
"Do not cause any scandal there!" Lawyer Rim looked at the two problematic but pampered employees of SMJ.
Choi Haneul spoke with a straight face. "Me? Scandal? I don't even know how to spell it!!!"
