Game Tycoon C279 Upcoming Gathering
🕑 Added 2023-12-12 10:52:23 +0000 UTCShin followed Lee Han to his family's house, as Lee Han served as his guide in South Korea.
The Han Family reunion was scheduled for two days, so Shin would likely stay at Lee Han's family's house during this time.
Despite the option of staying in a hotel, Lee Han insisted on hosting Shin at his family's house.
Surveying the Han family's home, Shin couldn't help but think, "The house of Han's family isn't bad... It seems Lee Han even tried to replicate the design of my house in Minato."
When Lee Han visited Shin's house for business discussions, he often looked around and asked about the inspiration behind Shin's home. It turned out Lee Han wanted his house to mirror Shin's exactly.
"What do you think of my house, Mr. Suzuki?" Lee Han smiled, scratching the back of his head. "This house is inspired by yours."
"I can see that," Shin replied with a smile.
Even the display of KiShin IPs toys, action figures, and video games in the living room was an exact copy, leaving Shin with a wry smile.
Soon, Shin, Lee Han, and his family gathered in the dining room.
"What does he think about our house, dear?" Choi Mishil asked as she prepared the meals.
"He's satisfied. The house architecture was actually inspired by his own house," Lee Han replied with a smile.
"Really?" Choi Mishil said in slight surprise before adding, "I only prepared this; I didn't expect your boss to come along."
"Don't worry. Mr. Suzuki isn't the type to care about such details," Lee Han reassured his wife with a smile.
As they conversed, Lee Han's son, Han Kang-Dae, returned home from school.
"Mom, I'm back!" a young man's voice echoed, and shortly after, a young man in a school uniform appeared in the living room. Spotting Lee Han, he exclaimed, "Dad!" and promptly went over to hug him.
After the reunion, Han Kang-Dae turned to Shin and asked, "Who is he—"
Before Han Kang-Dae could finish, his mother, Choi Mishil, interjected, "He's your father's boss. Shinro Suzuki."
Upon hearing this, Han Kang-Dae became astonished and exclaimed, "Whoa, for real!?" He was about to approach Shin for an autograph, but his mother stopped him.
"Don't bother Mr. Suzuki," Choi Mishil sternly reminded, and Han Kang-Dae nodded in understanding.
Han Soo-Yun joined them at the table, and they conversed while eating.
Shin remained quiet, unable to grasp the conversation.
After the meal, Lee Han requested an autograph from Shin. Confused at first, Shin noticed the eager expressions on Lee Han's son and daughter.
'They must be fans,' Shin thought, smiling.
It appeared that Lee Han had shared Shin's story with them, explaining their admiration despite Shin being Japanese.

In the USA, after a two-day screening of Toy Story, thanks to KiShin Pictures' involvement, the box office surpassed Shin's previous life.
An impressive *14 million dollars* in two days marked a significant success.
KiShin CGI enhanced the animation, offering the audience a slightly improved experience compared to Shin's previous life.
KiShin's marketing efforts and the bold decision to distribute Toy Story in screenings contributed significantly to the box office results.
In Shin's previous life, Toy Story, distributed by Walt Disney, opened with around 2,000 screenings. However, in this parallel world with KiShin as another distributor, the opening saw an increase to approximately 3,417 screenings.
As a result, the predictions of Reynald McArthur, the president of KiShin Merchandise, became a reality, with Toy Story merchandise experiencing a significant surge in sales.

After two days, Shin was finally ready to meet the Han Family, the controllers of the SamStar Group.
Shin understood that just as there was a Communist leader in the north, there were powerful chaebols in the south.
Unaware of the intellect of the people he was about to meet, Shin arranged for his security team from Japan to assist him upon landing in South Korea, Seoul.
Indeed, it was the Yakuza that transformed into the Yamauchi Securities Company, now an independent entity affiliated with KiShin.
Even Lee Han and his family were somewhat surprised to see a line of five black cars waiting at their doorstep.
Initially, Lee Han thought it might be his cousin orchestrating a high-profile entrance to impress Shin. However, Shin himself reminded Lee Han that the lined-up cars and the Japanese men in black were, in fact, Shin's security team.
"Umm... Mr. Suzuki, why the need for such a high profile?" Lee Han asked with uncertainty, his family also astonished and a bit intimidated as they stepped out of the house.
"You mentioned your cousins being quite arrogant, right? As a third generation of a wealthy family, I should at least present a sight befitting my status," Shin joked.
Lee Han furrowed his brows, as in his opinion, Shin wasn't the type to boast.
Seeing Lee Han's expression, Shin explained further, "I arranged this to gain some respect from your cousins, who value status and wealth. This show of security might leave an impression on them, helping our business discussions."
After hearing the explanation, Lee Han nodded thoughtfully, thinking, 'I guess that's reasonable...'
After a while, with the astonished expressions of Lee Han, his wife, and children, Shin invited them to enter the cars driven by his security team. Despite the language barrier during Shin's stay at Lee Han's residence, they managed to exchange conversations through Lee Han, making it comfortable for them to enter another car under Shin's security.
They entered the car, with Shin and the others followed closely by additional vehicles, one of them leading the way.
As they made their way towards the SamStar Group gathering, onlookers curiously observed the procession of black, luxurious cars lining up and moving along the road.
