Superstar Husband & Genius Wife - Chapter 41：Press Release

If the people waiting downstairs really are all fans of Ethan, then the current situation is serious!

They’ve filled up the lobby and the area outside the office, Namtech’s customers are going to be annoyed by all of the people inside and outside the office.

And Agung doesn’t know what Ethan is hiding, but he clearly says that there’s no need to issue a press release about him being the temporary CEO.

It was an order that Ethan gave on the first day of him being the CEO, and if Agung disobeyed the order, Ethan would be disappointed, if he disappointed him, his chance to become his private secretary could be gone forever!

“So? What are we going to do?” the public relations manager impatiently asked when Agung remained silent.

“Just a moment,” replied Agung.

Agung took out his cellphone and tried to contact Ethan via the Line app, but Ethan didn’t pick up no matter how many times he tried to call.

“Is he not awake yet?” thought Agung. The time difference between Jakarta and Seoul is 2 hours. So right now, it’s still 10 in Seoul.

Agung decided to send a message asking Ethan to contact him when he’s not busy.

After sending the message, he tried to find Mr. Nam’s private secretary’s contact info to inform him of the current condition of the company. But Agung shook his head, the leader of the company is Ethan, not his father anymore. After all, when he returned Mr. Nam’s car last night, Mr. Nam asked him to talk for a bit, saying that he had to help and advise Ethan to lead NamTech.

If he couldn’t handle something like this, he didn’t deserve the position of company secretary!

“Hello? You’re still alive, right? What’s the order? Look, my employees just sent a message saying that our department is getting chaotic,” the woman sighed impatiently.

Agung sighed before saying, “Fine, let’s go to the public relations department,”

“You don’t trust me! Don’t you know of the saying, ‘Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe’? You are already single, and you are not happy! Your life is so boring!” said the woman.

“Who said I was unhappy? I’m an atheist after all! Don’t you know there is a saying from Ancient Greece ‘seeing is believing?” Agung replied, starting to get angry.

“Tch, okay, let’s go!” the woman replied, then the two of them heading over to the elevator.

“Listen, you can hear the phone ringing outside!” the manager yelled as they headed into the public relations department.

Agung just kept quiet and continued to walk towards the room, and after opening the door to the room, his mouth fell open.

kring… kring… kring…

“Hello, this is with NamTech, I’m Beti, what can i help you?”

“Interview with the CEO? I’m Sorry, the CEO of our company is busy, so we can’t do interviews at this time.”

“Once again sorry, if there’s nothing else to ask, I’ll hang up the phone, thank you,”

ring… ring… ring…

” Hello, this is with NamTech, I’m Budi, what can i help you?”

“Sorry sir, I don’t know what you’re talking about, if there’s no more to ask, I’ll hang up the phone, thank you,”

ring… ring… ring…

ring… ring… ring…

ring… ring… ring…

Every call at the staff table of 9 people kept ringing, and the staff patiently picked up the phone, greeted them, and hung up the phone politely even though in their hearts they were very upset because it was still early but the phone kept ringing.

“Manager, what should we do? I think I’m starting to go crazy from the sound of the phones ringing!” Beti said when she had hung up the phone, but just as she let go of her hand, the phone rang again and she had to pick it up to stop the incessant ringing.

“How about we unplug the phone line for a few minutes?” one of the staff suddenly asked.

“You’re the one I’ll unplug! What if an important call comes in? Your phone is already ringing again!”

“The manager’s own phone line has been removed though, it must be nice to become boss,” the staff thought as he picked the phone.

“Now do you believe it? I’m going crazy from all of this ringing!” said the woman again to Agung.

Agung ignored the woman and continued to look at the staff who answered the phone. From the answers given by the staff, Agung could conclude that the media wanted to schedule an interview with Ethan, but since there was no order from the superiors to say that Ethan was their current CEO, the staff responded by saying that the CEO of the company is currently busy, or they didn’t even know who Ethan was.

“Okay, we will issue a press release on our website!” said Agung.

The female manager’s eyes lit up when she heard that,

Finally!

Their nightmare is coming to an end!

“How come Ethan Oppa hasn’t come yet, It’s already 9 o’clock!” grumbled one of the ladies waiting in front of the NamTech office.

“Yeah, isn’t it 8 o’clock at the office?” said the short-haired woman beside her.

“Eh, look, why have those people inside have already come out?” suddenly, someone made a sound that caused everyone outside to look towards the door and see the people inside starting to come out one by one.

“Excuse me, why have the people inside started to come out?” the short-haired woman asked one of the people coming out.

“Ah, I don’t know, suddenly we were asked to leave. He said that if we didn’t make an appointment beforehand, we couldn’t wait in the lobby”,” said the woman, a little annoyed.

“You guys should also head home instead of spending time here, try reading the press release by NamTech on their website or their social media,” said the woman as she walked away.

Everyone who heard the woman’s words immediately took out their cellphones and went to the NamTech website. As the woman said, There was a brand new article released just a few minutes ago.

[ETHAN NAM COMES TO NAMTECH, BUT NOT AS THE CEO!]

“Ethan Nam, who was spotted in NamTech’s office came to meet NamTech’s CEO, Jia Li Wang, who is also his mother, to discuss a business partnership that is still a secret. Due to his busy schedule as a South Korean actor, Ethan Nam was only able to arrive in Indonesia this morning and had to leave as soon as his business was finished.

On this occasion, we also hope to dispel the rumors of NamTech’s CEO, Jia Li Wang, falling ill. So please don’t spread false rumors about the health of the CEO of NamTech, Jia Li Wang, or Ethan Nam.”

“Ah… So Ethan Oppa has returned to South Korea? I came here this morning for nothing then,” said one person when she finished reading it.

“I can’t believe it! I’m sure Ethan Oppa will come in a while. This article is just a trick,” said the short-haired woman who couldn’t believe the news and sat on the sidewalk near the parking lot.

But unlike her, the reporters and other fans started to disperse after reading the news.

“Sis,” suddenly, a woman who was older than her came over to her.

“Yes? What’s up?” asked the woman with short hair.

“You still want to wait for Ethan here, right?” she asked. The woman nodded.

“If Ethan comes, can you tell me? I’ll be back later to wait for him when he comes home,” she said.

“Oh, okay, just follow my social media, shaksi_kumari,” said the short-haired woman.

The woman took out her cellphone and typed something before saying, “Done.”

“Your username is Bunda_kabade? I already followed you, I’ll let you know when Ethan comes,” she answered.

After the woman left, 3 people who heard their conversation came closer to the short-haired woman.

“Please tell us too. We still want to wait, but we were suddenly told to head back to campus” said one of them.

“It’s okay, just follow my social media first, I’ll let you know and I’ll follow back,” the three people then took out their cellphones and opened their social media apps.

“Sure, my account is sidqia,”

“Done, my username is DaoisttWyWAC,”

“I’m Sarman_Astro,”

“Okay, I’ll follow back, and let you know when Ethan comes,” replied the short-haired woman.

The three then left, leaving the short-haired woman and a few others hoping that the announcement wasn’t true and that Ethan would appear in a few minutes.
