Tao is relaxing on the long black leather sofa in his father’s office, a book covering his face while his whole body covers the whole sofa. His father, Jang Kwang, is shuffling through some paperwork at his own desk. The younger latter sighs heavily and Kwang raises his eyes, peeking over. Then his question shot Tao sitting straight up, after throwing the book off his face. “Do you want a new manager?”
