God-Given Business Genius - Chapter 194
[Huh? lololol What's this?]
(<Song Woo-yeon's Alley Secrets> promotional image)
Looks like Song12yeon filmed a new program
→Yeah, I heard about it, but I guess it's coming out now
→Looking at the official website description, it seems Chef Song goes around small restaurants in alleys and provides business consulting... Isn't that too deep?
→→I agree, it's not a cooking show or mukbang, feels a bit ambiguous
→Self-employed people might find it interesting, but I'm not sure if there's a relatable point for general viewers
→→IKRR
→I like Songsyu, so I'll probably watch the first episode lol
[Has Song12syu run out of money?]
Look at her crawling back to broadcasting
Just do business, you rice-cooking subject
→Reported
→-----Silence-----
→It's the end of the year, go out and meet people or something
[There's nothing else to watch with all the year-end special broadcasts, so I guess I'll give it a try]
SWY's entertainment sense is pretty good, so it might be worth watching
→Right, she was just overwhelming in Mastel lol and always made legendary moments in Naengteol
→Her sense is so good it's hard to believe she wasn't originally a broadcaster
→It's worth watching, yeah. In Naengteol, while other chefs were always fumbling, only Bongsook and Songsook were entertaining lol She doesn't seem to mind making a fool of herself, and her skills are good too
→Just try it and spit it out if you don't like it. The broadcast hasn't even started yet, but those who are already grumbling with their mouths open really need a flick on the forehead lol
→→For real lol
→→→Seems like there are quite a few people who are still stubbornly cursing because they're embarrassed about badmouthing her during the previous power abuse controversy

I saw the preview, and his visuals are just insane ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Why is he hitting his visual peak in a variety show?
→Is it airing tonight?
→→Yes, yes, Thursday 9:30 PM. Don't forget to watch~!
→Is this the same combination we saw in Survival Law of the Jungle before?
→Are they close because they're the same age? Do-kyung usually has trouble with strangers, but he looks comfortable this time
→→?? Do-kyung is originally gentle and gets along well with people, what are you talking about?
→→→I said he looks comfortable because he looks comfortable;; Are you uncomfortable with that too? The gaslighting is intense
→→→→Don't try to hide it, just GTFO
→→→→You scratched first and now you're pretending not to know, saying 'the gaslighting is intense'
[It's something to celebrate that Do-kyung got a fixed position in a new variety program, but it's not nice to see people gossiping about his dating life. Those who disagree with me, just block me!]
[Do-kyung-ah, why did you make such a choice when you're so wise.. ㅠㅠ On your public account I just congratulated you, but honestly, after seeing the preview, I feel really depressed]
[If Song12syu wasn't good-looking, I don't think I would have had these thoughts lol They're the same age and seem close, so it makes me think a lot]
[I'll trust our filial Kangji~!]
Amidst the focus of many people and the mix of various opinions, finally, the first episode of <Song Woo-yeon's Alley Secrets> aired.
[Alley Secrets first episode is starting]
Those who want to watch, go to MBS now
[Is everyone going to watch Alley Secrets?]
Why is it so quiet
[Oh? That's the Mother and Son Army Base Stew restaurant]
Isn't that the place that was on SWY's pick of good restaurants list before?
→Seems like it
→Yeah, that's right
→Was it promotion for the broadcast? lol;;
[You're right, the other places are also restaurants from the list]
I guess that frame itself was like a certification given to restaurants that appeared on that show
→So that's what it was, I wondered why it suddenly appeared
[As expected, there's no place that doesn't do well without a reason]
It just feels ordinary
It certainly doesn't have enough charm to make you want to visit
The poor commercial district is a big factor;;
[But SWY really pinpoints the core issues well]
She scratches the itch perfectly from a consumer's perspective about what's lacking
There are many interesting things related to management too
→Yeah, it's more interesting than I thought lol
[Raise your hand if you turned it on just to take a peek but have been watching until now]
Me, for starters
→Me too
→Same here
[What do you think about the woman who analyzes the commercial district just by walking around?]
Her brain is insane
→Yeah, seems like she didn't get the CEO position by playing Go-Stop
→Is she Sherlock Holmes? Look how sharp she is
[It's interesting, but]
It feels a bit boring too?
→Right lol It's okay for killing time
[lololololololol Look at the outfit]
Even I would lose my appetite
→That's what I'm saying
→Personally, if I see a server wearing shoes that show their toes, I immediately filter them out lol It seems like they have serious hygiene issues
→It's really bad
[Uijeongbu-less Uijeongbu Army Base Stew lololol]
It's just nonsense
→It seems like there are a lot of people in our country who think running a business is too easy
→Is this even allowed?? Having absolutely no connection to Uijeongbu lol
→Everything Song Woo-yeon said is correct, this is just plain lying
[Why is there a sudden dopamine explosion?]
Look at how the comment regeneration speed changes as soon as the villain appears lol
→I guess modern humans addicted to dopamine can't help it
→It suddenly got busy as soon as the army base stew restaurant appeared lol
[Is the one that's trending now the new variety show featuring Song Woo-yeon?]
I don't understand what you're talking about
→Yeah, it's <Song Woo-yeon's Alley Secrets>
→→Thanks
[Is Song Woo-yeon the reincarnation of Dae Jang Geum?]
How does she know what's in it just by tasting?
[ TN: Dae Jang Geum (Great Jang Geum) was a real-life historical figure from Korea's Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897).
She is believed to have been the first female royal physician to serve in the king's court. Her achievements were remarkable in a time when women had limited roles in public life. ]
[Real-time Alley Secrets status:]

Cursing with his eyes
→lololololololol
→I'm watching TV with exactly that expression
→I really thought she was crazy
[Alley Secrets, I thought it was a variety show similar to Naengteol, but it's not]
It's much spicier lol
[Is it that stimulating?]
I'm not watching, why is it turned upside down?
→It's just a human documentary
→I think I'm going to get PTSD
→The army base stew restaurant is hard-carrying the ratings
[Who said Song Woo-yeon crawled back to broadcasting because she ran out of money?]
I don't know how much she's getting paid for appearing
But she's rehabilitating these waste-level people
It seems like something I couldn't do no matter how much money I got lol
If it were me, I would have flipped the table and ran out immediately
→It makes you want to give up lol
→For real lol
→This is "Hell Joseon", endure with evil and stubbornness
[?? I didn't mishear, right?]
Just now, the owner lol said she made it sweet on purpose because Song12yeon likes sugar
Is this correct? lololol
→It's just laughable
→How can that be called a statement lol
[Wow 'that statement']
It's crazy, it's like she has a natural talent for aggro
[Watch the preview lololol FML lololol]
Song Woo-yeon Anger ON
Seizure button ON
The next episode is guaranteed to be a banger lol
How can I not watch it
→The preview is intense
→How can we wait until next week

"Woo-yeon, what are you doing?"
I looked up at Jung Da-on's question. I didn't realize how much time had passed while I was scanning people's reactions.
"Ah. It was last night, right? The first episode of the new program."
"Yeah. I heard the ratings were pretty good. I was curious about people's reactions, so I was looking them up."
"Your hands must be cold. They've turned red."
Jung Da-on said, handing me a heat pack. Come to think of it, my hands had become so stiff they were hard to move.
I obediently put my phone in my pocket and firmly grasped the heat pack.
"How are the reactions?"
"They seem good? Considering it's the year-end and there was fierce competition with other special broadcasts. And it was suddenly inserted with insufficient promotion......."
8.1% viewership rating.
That was the final score recorded by <Song Woo-yeon's Alley Secrets>. Especially since it recorded the highest rating when the army base stew restaurant appeared at the end, it seems Choi Mi-seon and Park Jun-beom, the mother and son, played their roles well.
As word of mouth spreads, more viewers will likely join for the next broadcast.
'Moreover, this time we had to compete with year-end special programs and award ceremonies. It will gradually get better as time passes.'
If that happens, the ratings might soar to 10%. Even that would be a tremendous success.
"Are you thinking about work even here? Take a break today."
"I am resting. Just being here with you guys is enough."
Jung Da-on let out a dry laugh, as if he couldn't help it.
"Sorry for calling you out suddenly."
"It's okay. We promised to watch the sunrise, right? If you think about it, this was the prior engagement~"
Because the schedule was arranged so urgently, I had no choice but to inform Jung Da-on in a half-notification manner.
Fortunately, Jung Da-on didn't have any special plans, and Han Mi-ae gladly agreed, so we were able to come to watch the sunrise as planned without any particular conflicts.
Still, feeling sorry is feeling sorry.
"I actually like it."
Jung Da-on's voice was full of laughter as he looked at me with a grin.
The cold winter wind brushed past, scattering his hair. The guy spoke with his back to the pale moonlight on the vast mountainside.
"I was glad you invited me."
"......."
"I was secretly worried last year. We could have really spent it at our house, but you stubbornly refused."
I have some tact too. How could I intrude on a family gathering. ......Although I'm not one to talk, having pulled Jung Da-on out of a family gathering.
"Besides, that kid Jae-ha too. Although he doesn't show it...... he relies on us a lot."
"Yeah."
"So there's that too."
Jung Da-on shrugged his shoulders. Well. For Baek Jae-ha, who is experiencing a proper 'year-end' for the first time, this sunrise probably holds a meaning beyond just a 'sunrise'.
"Oh? Jae-ha's coming."
Speak of the devil.
I could see Baek Jae-ha walking from far away. He was moving busily with cup noodles filled with hot water.
"Jae-ha, I can see your feet~ Can't you come faster!"
"Ah, hyung."
When Jung Da-on teasingly scolded him, Baek Jae-ha made a sulky face. Then Jung Da-on laughed and helped carry some of the cup noodles.
Swish.
"Here you go. Aren't you hungry? After driving here alone."
"It's nothing."
I answered as I received the cup noodles.
"But this place is really nice. If it was a famous sunrise spot, it would have been crowded with people."
"Right?"
I grinned and turned around. It's just a mediocre mountainside, but that's why the sun could be seen better.
If we go all the way to the top, it's too noisy with people and not great. If you take a side road in the middle of the climb and park in a suitable place, there's a prime spot like this.
It was strangely moving to think that this place remains the same before and after my regression.
"I used to come here when my mind was cluttered. When the weather is clear, you can see the stars well too."
That's how it was before the regression. After the regression, I was too busy working to find time to come here.
There were times when I frequented this place. If I couldn't come up with ideas for new menu items, I would brainstorm here for hours.
Now it's all in the past.
"It's the first time I've brought anyone here."
I grinned, looking at Baek Jae-ha and Jung Da-on.
"Oh~ Really?"
"Yeah."
"This is an honor, isn't it?"
"It's not that much of an honor. It's a hidden gem, so don't tell anyone about it~"
"Yes, sir."
"You too, Jae-ha."
"I won't."
Baek Jae-ha smiled and stood beside me.
That's when it happened.
"Oh! The sun is rising!"
"Make a wish! Make a wish!"
"......!"
Instead of making a wish while looking at the brightly spreading dawn, I smiled broadly.
'Thank you. For giving me a second chance.'
I sent a message of gratitude to an unnamed god.
'I'll try to change the future somehow.'
Because,
This time, I have more things I want to protect.
