Chapter 2 - New era of Wang's?

Kim's broadcasting station(KBS), March 25, 9:38AM

It is a rather slow day for all the reporters and the employees working on the 11th floor of the Kim's media building.

Although the floor was packed with cubicles, there were some to no employees seen at their respective positions. Everyone was either at the dining hall or pantry floor or gathered at the only coffee machine available to the far left corner on the open floor plan of the 11th floor.

A group of people were crowded around the coffee machine, waiting for their turn to get some boost to continue the day. At that exact time, a door to the back of the floor opened and a head peeked out.

"Team 11," a young man chirped out combined with a gesture saying to come in and disappeared behind the door again.

The crowd around the left corner collectively let out a series of groans in different pitches. "Same sh*t, different day, " a woman sighed out while scratching her forehead, her nails neatly trimmed and shining brightly with glossy red paint.

"We chose this," a man on her left muttered with a hopeless tone and started to scatter away from the group.

That was the cue for all the members in Team 11 to move to their respective places, grab their essentials and attend the daily morning meeting.

The 6 members of Team 11 all piled into the small meeting room, where the man, who called them earlier, their editor, was seated at the head of the table (typical) and was looking through some papers.

All the team members wordlessly took their seats, arranging their reports and presentations orderly, which needed the editor's approval. As everyone were minding their own business, the editor spoke up, "Where's your lucky charm?"

Everyone glanced up and a tall man was the one to answer "Uhmm...he said he's running a bit late. He'd be joining us soon, " he uneasily ended his sentence, eliciting a sigh from the editor.

"Well, we will get started then, " he gave his cue and all the members one by one started to share their stories and the ideas that are to be published in the newspaper in the business news slot.

About half an hour later, when the last person was presenting, the door slightly creaked open and a lanky figure quietly slipped into the room and took a seat that was near the door. The editor of course noticed him and gave him a side glance, but didn't utter anything.

The new arrival rummaged through his bag and took out some essentials to show in the meeting.

"Okay, this would be a go, " The editor said and pitched in some parts that needed corrections and changes.

The late comer bounced in his seat, waiting for his turn and when the editor glanced his way, he jumped up his seat, made his way to the front and connected his laptop to the projector to display the contents.

The moment the words written on the screen registered in their minds, whispers erupted among the 6 team members, with the young man excitedly observing them.

Then he turned his gaze to the editor, who was just staring at him and grinned widely, expecting this exact reaction.

"The Wangs?" Editor questioned skeptically and he nodded quickly. "What about them?" the words ended when the next thing was shown on the white screen.

"But, we were all set to cover the event tomorrow. Media is invited. Although its just outside, its epic and enough to maximize our channel view rate, " A short, stubby man commented when he saw the picture of "The Haven ( A hotel) " being displayed.

"Yeah, but there is a catch here." The man who is presenting his idea answered.

"A tip?" Another question rang through the room.

"Confirmed tip. That's what caused the delay. I was finding some solid proof for the tip." He continued his answers, while moving the slides, which were now showing different pictures that were obviously taken from a hidden spot.

"Woah. It's a real thing." a man in glasses commented while staring at the pictures.

The presenter gave him a knowing smile and turned his attention to his laptop to change to the next slide. He then moved forward, then took a couple of papers that were stapled together, handed them to the editor, who was surprisingly quiet throughout the whole thing.

"This would be the story from my side, " The young man said and stepped aside.

The editor went through the papers with a stony face, not showing any emotions as his eyes flitted through the printed papers.

"Are you sure about this?" He shook the papers in front of his face and the young man nodded in  along with a quiet 'yes'.

The editor just took out the papers inside a file filled with reports and stood up to conclude the meeting. When they were all satisfied with the conclusion, the editor turned to move out first from the meeting room.

"Heads up. This will be up only after approval from higher ups." The editor shook the file again at the side of his head, making eye contact with the lanky young person, who was in mid bow.

"Sure, sir." Came the reply and the editor turned around, pushed the door to exit, along with all members of Team 11 bowing again.

11 hours ago, Downtown Seoul

The midnight sky and the dark streets easily camouflaged the running figure away from a small, humble home.

The door of the house opened harshly by a young man, clearly annoyed for being disturbed at this hour. The man looked around in confusion and finally spotted a package at the foot of his door.

With confusion etched on his face, he hesitantly picked up the package on which 'Park Jung ho' was neatly written in bold letters. The young man walked further out of his house and scanned his surroundings again for any sign of someone, who could've left the package.

The man finally retired into his house, when he heard a sound calling for him from the house.

Once the door finally shut, the hoodied figure stepped out from behind the pillar of an old building around the corner and stared as the light above the house flicked off.

"Hope you'd enjoy your gift, Park Jung ho"

New era of the Wangs?

Ruling the corporate world, the Wang's were yet to officially announce their heir apparent. Seemingly, the wait and suspense of the era is coming to an end.

As the Wangs' vision clearly showcases their eagerness to adapt to the fast changing world to satisfy their service recipients, it would be no wonder if the reins of their business were to be handed to the young generation. Apparently, Wang il sung, the chairman of Wang corporation, who raised this empire with his hands, has seemingly taken a step forward in this direction.

Invitations were set off in every direction inviting every big name for the celebrations of the Chairman's 67th birthday. Many big groups and business analysts expect a change in the leadership of Wang's. Though, the corporation didn't release any official notice about the announcement, our team hopes to atleast get a heads up regarding it and in near future, we are anticipating the Wang's corporation flourishing under its young leader leadership.

Taking a peek at the grandness of the celebrations and how all of the business world is flooding into the Wang's main hotel including prominent foreign businessmen and women, we expect the announcement of the future heir of Wang empire. We hope the future of Wangs' corporation will reach new heights under the new light bearer.

The best wishes and endeavors are extended on behalf of the economy of the country wishing a happy birthday on this special occasion of Mr. Wang il sung, the man who contributed a great lot to our economy. For the better world, Kim's media.
