Chapter 2: Men Should Be Tougher
SBS is one of the three major broadcasting networks in South Korea, created on October 9, 1990. As the only privately owned broadcaster with a nationwide network of its own, SBS is available to over 98% of the country's population. Its flagship terrestrial television station is Channel 6 for digital and cable.
However, for a large TV station like SBS, regardless of content, it is absolutely impossible to be healthy and harmonious internally.
Kim Tae-oh, as the head of SBS News Bureau's Sports News Department, at just 43 years old, still has a significant amount of room for advancement.
He has a good relationship with people in SBS, so the small supermarket on the first floor of the SBS office building has been operated by his wife for three years. Although a small supermarket is not worth mentioning in the eyes of high-ranking officials at SBS, Kim Jae-tae is a henpecked husband and his wife is less than 30 years old, still a standard fan girl who has nothing but looks. She insisted that Kim Jae-tae arrange for her to work at the TV station, so he came up with the idea of taking over the small supermarket in the TV station. Anyway, there was no strong competitor for this small supermarket, and he easily got it, and his wife also successfully entered the TV station as she wished.
Logically, in 2007, Jin Ze should have still been contracted to this small supermarket. However, four months ago, a young whippersnapper suddenly appeared out of nowhere and brazenly entered the TV station, forcefully snatching away his coveted spot.
Kanze Ta, who had endured for four months, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He still didn't know who that kid was "hanging out" with. All he knew now was that the kid seemed to be from America and held the position of Minister in the Security Department. Everything else was a complete blank, even his alma mater listed in the personnel department's files was a place he had never heard of before.
Alright, no matter what, Jin Ze Tai has not been on the bed for four months, so he must find a way to take back this treasure land from that little brat.
At this time, SBS was on the first floor in a supermarket not far from the gate. A young man wearing a white vest was checking beside the stove at the counter. On the stove, there was a large pot with its lid slightly lifted, and a strong tea fragrance was wafting out of it.
"What are you doing? Do you want to set fire to the company!!!!!!"
Just as the young man was savoring the aroma wafting from the pot, a loud shout of anger suddenly came from behind him.
The young man straightened his waist and turned around, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. It was Tang Menglong, who had come to Korea with He Jinlie five months ago.
It has to be said that He Jinlie is very responsible, after arriving in Korea, he first let Tang Menglong play for a few days, and then the work visa and other things were already done, even the SBS staff certificate was obtained.
Later, he rested for a month and started learning Korean with the teacher found by He Jinlie. Of course, the money was paid by himself. By New Year's Day, he moved into SBS Mini Supermarket and became an honorable supermarket owner.
Tang Menglong looked at this well-dressed, arrogant middle-aged man and frowned, then spat out a swear word: "Son of a bitch!"
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, didn't understand what the words meant, and hastily asked.
Tang Menglong took a glance at the name tag on his chest and found that it was indeed Jin Zetao. He had heard from the security department that this small supermarket used to be run by Jin Zetao's wife, and judging from his attitude, he was clearly here looking for trouble.
Tang Menglong thought for a moment and then walked back to the cashier's desk and sat down, ignoring him and starting to read the Korean textbook he was holding.
"You, you, you're too rude! Don't you know about seniority? And I'm your senior in the company... Tang Menglong, didn't you hear me speaking?! Jin Zetai originally wanted to make a big deal out of this because setting up a stove to cook in the TV station is not allowed, although it's not a big deal, but if it gets out, it would be considered a violation of regulations. Except for some empty warehouses, most areas of the TV station are off-limits to fire."
Although it's a bit far-fetched for Jin Zetao to come and bother Tang Menglong, the Jin Zetao who doesn't know the taste of meat in April has already collapsed somewhat. Of course, he can also go find a girl, but after experiencing another serious injury, he really can't take it anymore. However, seeing this scene today, he wants to vent his anger and probe Tang Menglong's background when he becomes submissive.
"What!" Tang Menglong looked at him with a puzzled expression and spat out a word that made him vomit blood.
Jin Ze's eyes widened, and he slapped the glass cash register, angrily saying: "Stop pretending to be ignorant! I know you can speak some Korean. Your impolite behavior, I'll note it down for now, but who allowed you to light a fire in the company!"
Tang Menglong raised his head to look at him, and when he slapped the counter with his hand, his left hand quietly reached for the monitor switch and turned off the power. Then, looking at him awkwardly rubbing his short hair, he stood up.
Jin Ze thought he had gained the upper hand and was delighted, just about to continue speaking.
"Bang!"
Tang Menglong's face suddenly changed, the Korean textbook in his right hand fell onto the counter, and then his right hand slapped down fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
"Ah!"
A shrill cry echoed through, startling the passing employees and artists outside.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"What's going on?!"
Two men in uniform rushed in, shouting urgently, but just as they burst into the store, they froze.
At this moment, Minister Jin Zetai's right arm was hanging in the counter, covered in blood, and a large hole appeared on the glass of the counter, as if it had been smashed by someone.
At this moment, a crowd had gathered outside the supermarket. When they saw that his right hand was all glass shards, they were shocked.
"Call the police, call the police, you bastard, you devil! He's the one who put my hand in there, he's a madman!" Jin Zetao pulled out his right hand and shouted wildly, with tears streaming down his face, looking quite comical.
"Minister, what's this?" One of the two security guards, a man about 23 years old with an ordinary appearance, named Li Daming, looked at Tang Menglong in difficulty.
Tang Menglong smiled slightly, at this moment he had already opened the monitor and turned the screen back a few seconds.
After a moment, Li Daming and Baoquan both fell silent. Although there was a break in the monitor, judging from the current situation, it should be Jin Ze who smashed the glass cabinet himself.
"Ah! Ah!" At this moment, Jin Ze Tai was completely stunned, and even the right hand that was bleeding didn't care, stupidly pointing at Tang Meng Long.
Tang Menglong suddenly smiled and said: "Do you need me to help you call the police? But I think it's better to call 119 before reporting!"
At this moment, Jin Ze's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Tang Menglong, gritting his teeth: "I won't let it go like this!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly pulled back by Tang Menglong. Tang Menglong suddenly leaned in close and whispered in his ear: "I know the location of your family's home, Minister Jin Zetao!"
After finishing, Tang Menglong smiled and let him go. Jin Zetai looked at Tang Menglong's sincere smile, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He thought of the book that had fallen into his right hand earlier, and the fierce way he had slapped it down. Jin Zetai suddenly felt like he might have made a wrong decision. This security department may not be a powerful department, but as the head of a department, no matter what, he was still a person with real power, managing dozens or even hundreds of people under him.
Tang Menglong was very young, but Jin Zetao couldn't investigate more information about him, of course he didn't know that the information he investigated were all true.
Although Jin Ze Tai couldn't investigate much, he could confirm that this kid would absolutely not be some rich family's young master who has experienced life. After all, being the head of security and a supermarket owner are two identities that cannot possibly be related to a wealthy family's young master, even if it were those young masters who want to play around in TV stations and flirt with girls, they wouldn't choose such weird identities, let alone having both at the same time.
He suddenly realized at this moment, thinking of Tang Menglong's ferocious appearance before, and suddenly understood why this kid became the Minister of Security Department, and no one in the Security Department objected.
This Tang Meng Long is definitely not one of those obedient pretty boys, it seems that he relied on his actual abilities to sit in this position, could it be that he's actually a dark horse?
"Gulp!" Thinking of this, Jin Ze swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say a word. In the end, he could only lower his head and leave the supermarket, and his destination could only be the nearest hospital.
Tang Menglong smiled slightly and thought to himself, "That Billy guy was right, sometimes lies are more useful than the truth! And this man should be tougher!"
Do you know where Jin Ze Tai lives? How is this possible?!
