The title is "Mysterious Youth Arrives in Seoul, Presidents of the Four Major Conglomerates Personally Welcome Him!"
Below it are photos taken at Incheon Airport, but with sunglasses on, you can't really see Gu Bai's face clearly.
It's likely that all media under Samsung's umbrella were instructed by Lee Jae-yong not to show a clear image of Gu Bai's face, so no one recognized him. Otherwise, with Gu Bai's fame in Hua Country, it would be impossible for no one in Korea to know him.
Lee Boo-jin directly skipped over the report and went straight to the comments below.
"The presidents of the Four Major Conglomerates personally welcome him? At first, I thought it was clickbait until I saw the photos in the report and realized it was true... Who on earth is this young man from Hua Country? Does anyone know him..."
"Laughing out loud, are these the Four Major Conglomerates that act all high and mighty in Korea? Exploiting our Korean citizens, using our hard-earned money for such a grand welcome ceremony for someone from Hua Country? Do they think this is the Han and Tang dynasties? Kneeling to welcome the envoy from the suzerain state?"
"These are the conglomerates that keep shouting about working hard for Korea's economic development, yet they fawn over a person from Hua Country?"
After going through some hot comments, Lee Boo-jin's expression didn't change at all.
To be precise, these comments targeted Gu Bai relatively little and were more directed at the Four Major Conglomerates. In recent years, under Park Jeongchun's leadership, the conflict between Korean conglomerates and the common people has deepened. If not for the dependence of Korean citizens on the conglomerates for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, the conglomerates might have been overthrown long ago.
Presumably, the assistant also didn't dare to read them out because of these comments.
However, to Lee Boo-jin, these are completely unnecessary to be concerned about. No matter how much dissatisfaction the Korean citizens have toward the conglomerates, they can only act like keyboard warriors, talking big online because Korea belongs to the conglomerates, not its citizens.
Lee Boo-jin handed the tablet back to the assistant, looking at the elevator about to reach the top floor, and flatly instructed, "Later, call the vice president in my name and tell him to closely monitor any reports about Mr. Gu under Samsung and delete any defamatory remarks, keep it under control.
He should know how to handle it."
"Will this... cause public discontent?"
As the elevator doors opened, Lee Boo-jin walked out on her high heels without even turning her head, saying directly, "Is there any less discontent towards Samsung?
Compared to Mr. Gu's discontent, the public's dissatisfaction with us is worth nothing."
After saying that, several other assistants followed Lee Boo-jin's pace, while the assistant who was talking to her all along silently stepped aside and started calling Lee Jae-yong's secretary.
Lee Boo-jin's attitude was very clear: the entire Korean public is not as important to Samsung as one Gu Bai.
The relationship among the three has always been unequal; Korean citizens can't live without Samsung, while Samsung's master is Gu Bai.
.................
Meanwhile, in the room, Gu Bai had already finished freshening up and was sitting on the couch in the suite's living room, playing with his phone while responding to a message from Yan Shen.
As for others like Qi Man, Yi Yiyi, he responded selectively as well.
He's not some central heating, needing to cater to everyone's feelings.
Suddenly, the suite's door was knocked on, and Gu Bai, without lifting his head, said in English, "Come in."
From the moment Lee Boo-jin entered, she put away her attitude of the Eldest Princess, her face full of a gentle smile, as she walked over to Gu Bai in her high heels.
"Mr. Gu, how did you rest last night?"
All the while replying to messages, Gu Bai nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."
Faced with Gu Bai's somewhat indifferent attitude, Lee Boo-jin didn't mind, continuing to smile and say, "It's almost breakfast time. Our Shilla Hotel's kitchen team has already prepared breakfast for you and your entourage. Mr. Gu, you can head to the restaurant for your meal later."
After finishing his last note to Yan Shen, Gu Bai also put down his phone and looked up at Lee Boo-jin.
"President Li, there's absolutely no need for this. I don't care about these things and don't need you to personally arrange them."
"I was just contacting someone in S·M Company for you last night, and got up a bit earlier today. I also know, given your status, you've experienced everything, right? I can only personally oversee them according to the highest standards to try to give you the best housing experience."
"President Li, you are considerate."
Gu Bai somewhat acknowledged this, responding with a polite tone.
"Here's the thing, as of last night, we've already contacted Lee Soo-man of S·M Company and informed him of your intention, Mr. Gu. He immediately agreed to your requests and arranged for all S·M Company artists to return to Seoul overnight, allowing you, Mr. Gu, to select those artists to train your group members."
Hearing this, Gu Bai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So fast?"
"To serve Mr. Gu, this isn't considered fast."
Although Lee Boo-jin was being modest, her pride was hard to conceal.
Gu Bai couldn't help but marvel internally, despite having imagined the conglomerate's influence in Korea as being immense, he still underestimated them.
As the leading capital in Korea's entertainment industry, S.M Entertainment's Lee Soo-man holds a godfather-like status in Korea's entertainment scene, yet Samsung was able to mobilize the vast S·M Company in just one night. The name of the Samsung Empire is well-deserved.
