Rich & Wicked

Act 2 : Episode 2 - The Launch

[SHIN JIN POV]

"Master Shin, we are here", the driver woke me up.

I wore my mask and went out of the car. The bodyguards, agents and employees are already lined up to welcome me.

"Welcome back, Master Shin", they said at they bow their heads.

I fix my clothes and tie, "Good Morning, Sir Shin, I am glad to see you again", Secretary Ahn greeeted me.

"I will be having a meeting today at exactly 11am, please give the reminders to the executive managers", I said as I walk to the building.

"Will do Sir Shin, is there anything else?"

"Bring Nam Jin Sang, I have something to tell him"

"Anything else sir?"

"Go grab me a coffee at Zoèle coffee shop and a Two pieces of cheese sandwhich from Mrs. Kim Ji Na Diner"

"Right away sir"

The employees greet and bowed their head as soon as they see me, "What is my schedule for today?", I ask.

"At 12 noon, you will be attending a meeting at JSS Corporation to talk about the Obsylysk Project, at 2 pm you will have a meet up with Mr. Lu at Pyunyang Hotel to talk about the arrangement of business partnership, at 7pm youl will attend the musical charity night of Ms. Cha Mul Soon. That was all your schedules for today, Sir Shin"

"That's a pretty long work, It will be such a boring day"

"Do you want me to arrange replacements to become attendees?"

"Yeah, Im feeling lazy today"

"Got that Sir, anything else?"

"Yes, it gotta be a hell of boring day, just sitting in the office doing nothing, bring me something fun I can play with"

"We will do, Sir"

We arrived at my office and sitted on my chair. I took my phone from my coat pocket and called Chan, "Hey, Chan how long will it take to finished?", I asked hin since I want ti make sure how long will I suffer from boringness.

{A week Jin, you better be patient so there will be no errors at the day of launch, we don't want to get any flaws since this new game of yours is not a joke}

"That long? Sigh, okay okay, I guess I will find alternatives to find ways to get my fun"

{Yeah, why don't you play with you employees?}

"Play with my employees? How?"

{Create a game for them and give the winner a prize}

"Oh yeah! I am the most powerful individual here, I can do whatever I want!"

{Yeah, Shin as long there's big money involve t, they will definitely join}

"Ahahahha! I just had the best game ever to play!"

{Then that's good, have fun}, Chan Yu hanged up.

"Sir Shin, Nam Jin Sang is here", Secretary Ahn reminded.

"You can now, Secretary Ahn"

"As you wish, Sir Shin", Secretary Ahn replied. He then left the office.

Nam Jin Sang entered the office and greeted with a bow, "Greetings, Master Shin. I am glad to see you again", he said.

I removed my mask and finally breathe comfortable,"Ooh, Secretary Nam Jin Sang, I have request for you, it might be quite a hassle for you"

"I am willing to to take any request for you Master Shin", he said confidenly.

I smiled at him, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Master Shin. It is my pleasure to help you"

"Alright then, as you can see I will be really busy starting next week for some reasons, I need you to pretend as me for a long time, is that okay with you?", I made a request for him.

"That is fine for me, Master Shin. I already know about your level up game and I already expected that you will ask me for this"

"Is that right? Then it's all set then?"

"Yes, Master Shin, I am thankful for everything you did for me", he said and bowed his head.

"Nevermind that, I will greatly reward for your efforts after I come back"

"You have my gratitude Master Shin", he bows his head again.

"You can go now", Nam Jin Sang bowed his head then left.

I opened my phone and called someone, "Secretary Lim, come here at my office now"

Few moments later, Sectary Lim arrived and bowed his head, "Good Morning, Master Shin, what can I do for you?"

"I need you to prepare something for me"

"I am ready to take your request"

"Announce to the company that their will be a game for emloyees, the winners can get a huge prize if they win"

"Is that all Master?"

"Yes, but tell the partipants that this will be confidential, the employees can choose of they wish to participate or not. Prepare a big venue for the game"

"As you wish Master Shin"

"Go now", he bows his head and left.

*knock* *knock* * knock*

"Sir Shin, the thing your ordered are here", I heard secretary Ahn.

I put my mask back on and responded, "Come in"

Secretary Ahn went inside and puts the things I ordered on the table. I stood up and went to sat on the sofa.

"I almost forgot this, I need energy to play"

"Then, I shall leave", Sectetary Ahn leaves.

I already planned the kind of games they need to play but it will be just a boring company event if it doesn't have any thrills. There's a huge prize so there must be also a stake for them to bet.

"Aha! That will be fun!", An idea came acroas my mind. I know what kind of prize I will give and what will they put as bet.

Few momenta later, Secretary Lim came back, "Master Shin, everything is ready", he said.

"So, how many employees wishes to participate?"

"There's 156 of participants who wishes join, Master Shin"

"Great! I will consider this mini game will serve as my training before my game is ready", I stood up and left the office.

I went out of the building and saw employees who was getting in in the bus, "Are they the participants?", I ask.

"Yes, Master Shin", he said as he opens the car and wait for me to get in.

I grinned beneath the mask and went inside. Secretary Lim then went in the driver seat to drive. I remove my mask and opens my phone to play with it. We are off to the venue.

40 minutes pass and we finally arrive in the venue. The place was secluded and very quite, there was a huge dome that looks like a stadium. I can't see any people walking around except for us.

The busses has arrived and I went to the building to prepare. I followed Secretary Lim to the room I can spectate. We have arrived and I entered in a room where there is a lot of screens and peopel who managed and monitors.

The monitors stood up and greeted me, "Welcome Master Shin!".

Secretary Lim fixes the chair and waits for me to sitdown. I like how they managed all of this in just a duration of 2 hours. Its like they are already prepared for this.

I can see the particpants in the screen and they look confused. The field was really large which is a really perfect place to get the game going.

"Secretary Lim, this is the games they will play. Please prepare everything that is needed", I told Secretary Lim the details of the games.

"Right away, Master Shin wait for a moment", He then bowed his head left the monitoring room.

"I have an announcement to make", I ordered.

"Go on, Master Shin", one of the monitoring staff said.

(Good day WIC employees! You are here today because you chose to particpate on this company event! Who is ready to play some games to win a big prize!)

{Meeeeeeee!}, the particilants shouted.

(But did I mention that there will be stakes if you want to play the game? If you want to join then you must submit a ticket to join!)

A particpant raised his hand, {What are the stakes? Where can we get the ticket?}, one of the participants asked.

(You already got the ticket, only you need to do is to sign a contract, it's your choice whether you want to participate or not but I will remind you that your ticket might be important for you. You can give it a shot, if you win, you will get chance to get change your way of life after winning)

{Does the prize includes money?}, one of the participants asked.

(For that yes)

The particpants were so happy and excited while others jumps on their feet.

(So if you wish to participate please step across the blue line on the left side and red line if you don't want to participate. Once you cross a line, you can't turn back or change your choice. Please think about it and choose carefully. You have 5 minutes to consider) , that wasn't a reminder but a warning.

A lot of employees runs immediately without thinking to cross the blue line while the others waited on the center to think about it carefully.

After a moment, all the participants finally chose a line.

The information was showed in the screen.

[Blue - 128] [Red - 28]

(There is a total of 128 participants on the blue line and a total 28 on the red line), I announce.

(All the people in blue line will receive 3,000 dollars each while the the people who chose the red line will be sent back to the company, please guide them on their way to the exit), the people in the blue line shouted with excitement and happiness, some jeers on the people who chose the red line.

They didn't know that the people who chose red was the right call, of course I will secretly give 10,000 dollars to the 28 people who chose red.

The 28 people in the red line was escorted back to the company.

(We have 128 participants, if you manage to stay until the end then you will likely to win the big prize), the participants shouted.

(Please follow the men in black, they will escort you in a fitting room for you to change your clothes, after that you will sign a contract and register your numbers. Remember, you chose to participate and you can't change your choice. Those who refuses the contract will hereby be punished), some of the participants hurried to the bystanders to follow them when I was still doing announcements. The participants followed the bystanders and was separated by genders.

All the particpants went back to the stadium after changing their clothes into white tracksuits.

(Please form a line infront of the six white cubes to register your numbers. Please enter the cubes one by another. Please act with manners and any signs of violence inside the cube is not allowed), I instructed them

They followed the instructions and form a line infront of the white cubes. The white cubes has security cameras to monitor the players situation inside.
