Chapter 162

The magnificent appearance of the Vice President of Changseong Electronics and the heir to the next Changseong Group!

At this, the chat window erupted, and the number of viewers surged past those who usually tuned in. I couldn’t believe it either; I was flabbergasted.

“Thank you all for the warm welcome. Actually, after my brother-in-law uploaded a video on YouTube, I thought it would be fun to join in, so I proposed it, and thankfully, he accepted without hesitation. My brother-in-law is just that nice, everyone.”

【Allfreed】- Uh…

【KyungHwaSuWol】- I don’t think it’s just because he’s nice, lol.

【Melted Artisan】- How can he say no, lol!

Yeah, you guys know my feelings! Thanks, everyone.

“Anyway, I’m here not as the Vice President of Changseong Electronics but as the streamer Cosmo’s brother-in-law, so please treat me casually. Think of me as your neighbor or a local older brother.”

【BINGO】- It’s not as easy as it sounds…

【HanDaeMatGoBaekDaeTaeRiGi】- I can handle Seo-ha, but this… I just can’t…

【HouseOfTheLostFrog】- Vice President level is too high!

Well, just because the person himself says that doesn’t mean everyone can change their attitude like flipping a hand. Sure, my wife might seem completely different in reality, but for someone who’s familiar, it’s a different case.

However, if I kept quiet and didn’t speak up, it might turn into a silence fest rather than just chatting, so I had to step in and lighten the mood.

“Alright, everyone. Since my brother-in-law said so, feel free to ask anything and have a chat!”

【PleaseBePositive】- You scared me, you bad guy!

【FallenFlower】- ???: If you don’t want to meet in real life, watch your mouth!

【MushroomSoup】- Conscience…

Ah, right, I forgot; I said that three minutes ago.

I realized that it might have gotten awkward not because of my brother-in-law but because of me. I cleared my throat and smiled.

“Come on, is that the same as this? As long as we keep our manners and have an ordinary conversation, it shouldn’t be hard, right?”

【PotatoRing】- It’s hard for us…

【OctopusSukhwa】- What is an ordinary conversation even?

【HyangHyangHae】- Your demands are high…

Just looking at the chat was enough to make me sigh, but today, I decided to be the considerate streamer and handle the viewers with care.

“My brother-in-law is quite looking forward to this. Just a moment ago, he told me he was curious about what kind of questions the viewers might ask. He even asked, ‘What if they ask about my first love?’ Right, brother-in-law?”

“Ah, that’s right. Actually, my first love story is a bit boring. But if you guys ask, I have to answer, so I’ve been thinking about how to spice it up a bit.”

【NextDoorHani】- Hahaha!

【WhiteForest】- Can’t resist a first love story, haha!

【AlpacaHunter】- Why spice it up, haha!

【BlueBungieWooRuh】- The Vice President is unexpectedly cute, haha!

As I added a little real-life story, it seemed like everyone was feeling a bit more friendly, and the atmosphere began to thaw.

Due to my brother-in-law’s earlier comment downplaying his first love story, no one asked about that. Instead, there were many other questions.

– What’s your relationship with Seo-ha like these days?

“Ah, you’re asking about my sister? Well, as I got older and matured, it’s gotten much better. We used to be like rivals, though!”

【RiceCrackerSwallowingPigeon】- Hahahahahahaha!

【HolicSheet】- This place too, haha!

【Cro-Magnon】- Seems like everyone’s life is the same, lol!

Seeing the raw and unfiltered responses made viewers giggle. I felt the same way.

Unlike public broadcasting shows, this type of livestream tends to prefer raw expressions.

“By the way, do you want to know what snacks I brought? My sister said she’d prepare some for my husband, so I asked her to grab mine as well, and she told me to get it myself!”

【ArisaLovesIt】- Real-life siblings, hahahaha!

【JeobiChuriSal】- This is hilarious, hahahaha!

【Bera666】- Even while taking care of her husband, she’s still sweet, haha!

Right, if only she cared for me even a tenth of that, my brother-in-law would have no reason to be upset.

But saying, “You should take care of my brother-in-law too,” felt awkward, so I kept silent.

– Did you eventually get it yourself?

“Yes, I got it myself. Right, brother-in-law?”

“That’s right, I’m a witness. I was going to help him, but he just asked where the snacks were and got them himself.”

【LemonTangHuru】- Haha!

【JustWokeUpAfterEating】- Even the Vice President has no choice but to do it in front of his sister, haha!

【Kokkiyaho】- Suddenly, I realize how impressive Cosmo must have been to win Seo-ha over at first sight…

Hey, enough with the sudden worship. It’s embarrassing.

【‘DaeSangBi’ donated 3,000 won.】

– I wonder if it’s okay to ask, but did you sell your private jet? I heard you sold it, Vice President.

In the midst of the cheerful atmosphere, a rather unexpected question came up.

Ah, now that I think about it, Changseong Family did own a private jet, but I remember hearing they sold it recently.

“Of course, go ahead. The truth is, when people ask why I sold it, the answer is very simple. I just didn’t need it anymore.”

【WhiteWhale】- ?

【CatfishWithWhiskers】- A private jet?

【BOOMBOOM】- Get rid of that!

【CurryWithMeat】- Some people want one but can’t even get it…

It seems that viewers took my brother-in-law’s answer as a kind of trick, reacting as if they were really annoyed. He responded with a hearty laugh, waving his hands to show that he meant no offense.

“Oh, the ‘not needed’ part refers to our family’s needs. My father used to travel abroad frequently, so a private jet was necessary, but now that I take on a lot of work, he spends more time home.”

【tws2425】- Oh!

【AdiosDao】- As expected, the heir, wow!

【DustBallJoinNow】- So, isn’t it necessary for you, then?

Well, that might be true. It’s not that my father needs to travel abroad less; my brother-in-law must have more work, so there isn’t really a reason to get rid of the private jet.

“I personally dislike being alone, so even back when I had a private jet, I usually flew commercially just like everyone else. Let me show you a photo I took back then…”

While he continued with his answer, my brother-in-law suddenly turned on his phone, rummaging through his gallery, and then showed us a picture that seemed to be of the interior of a plane.

“There are no other passengers on a private jet. I don’t like that. On the other hand, whether it’s business class or first class, there are other passengers, so I prefer that. Besides, the maintenance fees for the private jet felt like a waste.”

【SeafoodSauce】- That’s unique!

【LucidDream7】- You’d think a Vice President would prefer solitude…

【BlueRageGame】- So you like it crowded!

“Yes, I like it crowded. You see, in dramas, CEOs or executives are often depicted sitting alone in their offices, but ugh… I just can’t do that except when working.”

【BINGO】- Hahahahahaha!

【HouseOfTheLostFrog】- The future chairman of Changseong Group shows the difference between drama and reality, haha!

【Kokkiyaho】- Fiction is fiction?

In this case, it seems that the issue lies not with the fiction but with my brother-in-law’s uniqueness. My wife, for instance, prefers being alone when she’s not with me.

Anyway, as viewers’ affection for my brother-in-law grew after seeing this down-to-earth side of him, I suddenly had a brilliant idea and opened my mouth.

“Oh, by the way, brother-in-law, you really like games, don’t you?”

“Of course. I’ve enjoyed it since I was a kid. I still play a lot.”

【NoodleSlurp】- Oh?

【K-HipHopTopCosmo】- You actually play games?

【Moscos】- Really?

In a livestream, there’s hardly any better topic to bond over than games.

Sure enough, as my brother-in-law revealed his love for gaming, viewers began to express their excitement and interest. It must be interesting to see someone who’s about to be the head of the country’s top company enjoying games just like everyone else.

【‘MushroomSoup’ donated 5,000 won.】

– What kind of games do you enjoy?

“I play various games. Recently, I’ve been playing World Ring 2 on the side and even finished it. I used to love games like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past as well. I play a lot of roguelikes too. Nowadays, I also enjoy mobile games.”

【KindHeartedThought】- Wow, haha!

【JooHaLoveSquad】- To finish World Ring 2, you must be quite serious, wow!

【SojuFlavoredHandCream】- I never expected you to play mobile games, haha!

“Well, lately, I haven’t had much time, so I find myself playing mobile games a lot. I even bumped into my brother-in-law at a Last Destiny event once.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

When I reminded him and laughed, viewers shot a bunch of question marks into the chat.

【Cro-Magnon】- ??????????????

【BlueBungieWooRuh】- Wasn’t that a lie?

【PinkRabbit】- What’s this? Haha!

Given that many didn’t know what my brother-in-law looked like then, there wasn’t much mention of it outside, so the story had circulated as an ‘oh, the Vice President of Changseong Electronics was seen at the Last Destiny event.’

At first, there was a lot of speculation, ranging from him being there as a sponsor to questions about whether someone like him could just go there willingly.

“Of course, I went as a sponsor, but I also went because I really love Last Destiny. In fact, I still play several mobile games, besides that.”

【ArisaLovesIt】- The Vice President is a nerd, haha!

【PotatoRing】- Suddenly, there’s a strong sense of intimacy, haha!

【WhiteWhale】- Is this real? Haha!

The concept of the heir to Changseong Group enjoying mobile games, especially relatively niche subculture games, left the viewers astounded.

As much as the viewers were shocked, many felt a familiarity with him. Some welcomed this unexpected side of him.

“Speaking of games, why don’t we have a one-on-one match, brother-in-law? What do you think?”

“Uh? A, one-on-one?”

【FallenFlower】- Cool, haha!

【PleaseBePositive】- Sounds good, hahahaha!

【PassingAppDungi】- Let’s go, hahaha!

Suddenly, my brother-in-law pitched a content idea that we hadn’t even discussed beforehand, leaving everyone momentarily stunned. But when I thought about it, it didn’t seem bad at all.

Of course, if I felt there would be a significant difference in skills, I’d have to adjust my strength a bit.

“How about the loser buys chicken for the viewers? I’ve seen that done on your broadcasts sometimes.”

“Sure. How many do you want to bet?”

Adding a bet would naturally heighten the fun, so I agreed to my brother-in-law’s suggestion and started clarifying the terms of the bet.

“Let’s make it five hundred. Since we have a lot of viewers, we should make it substantial.”

“…Five hundred?”

Not ten, not fifty, not even a hundred—he proposed a whopping five hundred! I felt my mind go blank at his audacity.

【BlueBungieWooRuh】- Wow, hahahaha!

【KyungHwaSuWol】- Five hundred is hilarious!

【I’mTellingTheTeacher】- The fact that five hundred is light for him just shows the gulf between us…

Meanwhile, the viewers were obviously in a celebratory mood.

“…Alright then. Let’s go for five hundred.”

“Great! Now, what shall we play? Am I allowed to choose?”

“Of course, brother…”

Even though I felt like I might lose to my busy brother-in-law who rarely gets to play games, I generously let him pick the game.

“Then let’s go with a fighting game.”

“Sounds good.”

Thus began the bold match.

However, despite it being a best of five, I lost all six rounds without winning a single round.

Could it be that this family has gaming DNA mixed into their genes?
