11. Start
Right after the phone call with Sungmin Moon-.
I was the first to enter the office of a member of the National Assembly that I will use for the next four years.
Room 312, Assembly Hall.
Originally, it was customary to complete the move before the opening of the new National Assembly. For that reason, it was polite for those who failed to move out of the room two weeks before the end of their term.
Of course, there were not one or two losers who were crushed right before the end of their term.
There was even a reason to submit the bill on the eve of the end of the term. Even though I know very well that after a few hours the bill will be automatically repealed.
Fortunately, the owner of the office I was assigned had already left the room and disappeared. No, it would be more accurate to say that Jeong Nami left because she fell away.
The original owner of this room was a male congressman who was often called Saimdang rather than his real name.
There was no other reason, it was just because he looked exactly like Saimdang Shin in the 50,000 won bill. A symbol of wise fathers and mothers, a southern poet and painter of the time, and the first male figure to be selected as a design figure for banknotes.
Resembling the design was not a bad thing for promotional purposes.
The problem is that he wrote the allegation that he received and ate the new Saimdang from a savings bank the year before last.
After nearly two years of trial (some of them even in custody), he was recently acquitted, but by then his career had already been ruined. Because his presence was erased, he was not even nominated.

‘The person concerned is still feeling unfair and can’t even sleep.’
No, it didn’t seem like it was just unfair. It wasn’t enough that his political life was over, so he was branded as a corrupt politician and even stuffed.
And what’s even more pitiful than that….
“Even now, 99% of the people who don’t know that our boss is innocent, probably.”
Saimdang’s secretary, who had been guarding the office until the end, said this with a relieved expression. He said he was in charge of Okbaraji.
“Originally, this floor is like that. Because once nailed down, it is not easy to overturn that image. The article that said he was finally found innocent after a tedious trial for more than two years is a bit boring…. We don’t know each other, but it’s really sad.”
“You have a really nice personality. Please even express your regrets.”
“This much.”
“Most people don’t show that much generosity. On the contrary, there are even people who say that it is not a surplus business because I did not work and only received a full salary…. Phew, it’s not because my boss didn’t want to work.”
I was criticized a lot for receiving more than 13 million won every month for being arrested. There have even been cases where laws have been proposed because of it.
He did not sympathize with the poor retired man.
Because there was always a gold badge that was sacrificed in that way in all previous National Assembly. Even though he ate a lot of money, there were far more people than him who cleverly escaped responsibility. It’s not very rare, but he didn’t have to worry about it.
However, I was able to realize how vulnerable members of the National Assembly are.
After all, few people were as easy to spend as members of the National Assembly. If you spend a few hundred million wisely, it is possible to send an active member of the National Assembly.
Being a member of the National Assembly was not safe just because he was clean. He could target his family or friends, and at least it was possible to operate on an aide and ride up to a member of the National Assembly. He usually doesn’t try that hard…
I had made too many enemies.
There is no human being who can openly argue, but that doesn’t mean you should be careless.
It is certain that there are a lot of people who ate heavily from Kwon Ye-sol and are in Yeouido. What could be the reason for being so quiet? There is no way that people who are tired of politics are humbly taking responsibility, so they must be plotting something.
‘Perhaps they will hang on to me or Na Hye-ri. But you can’t break into the party representative’s office or the secretary-general’s office and ask what kind of party they’re doing.’
Of course, I was prepared.
In the meantime, I asked my family, who had been like strangers, to be careful about their behavior, and even checked the current status of friends I was close with in college.
However, regardless of my preparation, I did not know when and where a creative attack might come. It’s nothing else, it’s because politics and coins are intertwined. It’s a messy world full of male and female even if you look at it separately, but it’s shocking that it’s even combined.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like we had to wait long.
Just after touring the new office.
[Stellar just broke $0.9. What is this?]
Stella maintains a fixed value of 1 dollar by using mana as collateral. As the price fell, he said, defegging occurred.
Actually, it fell below $0.9 Yesterday as well, but it quickly recovered as the price stabilization algorithm worked. It’s happened often so far, so investors didn’t seem to take it seriously.
But now, the recovery of that value was infinitely slow.
The exact reason was unknown. To be honest, I didn’t even need to find out.
It could have been that someone artificially encouraged a drop in the market price, or it could have been a phenomenon that occurred when a whale threw the stock out of the blue.
Things that would have happened someday happened just now, and it wasn’t too difficult to gauge what would unfold in the future.
It was probably going to be a very long day.
*
A situation where signs of collapse became clear. However, Kwon Ye-sol did not collapse in vain.
[Additional investment of 1.2 Billion dollars to stabilize pegging. The current situation is temporary.]
Tweets from him.
But it worked. In the first place, all pending issues related to Stella-Mana used to be announced through Ye-Sol Kwon’s Twitter. I don’t know if I really invested another billion dollars or not, but it had the effect of delaying the predicted disaster for a while.
The market price of mana had not collapsed right now.
About 2% flowed down in a short time, but… In the coin market, you can’t call that level a collapse. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold out.
Of course, we couldn’t just check the chart in real time.
“Mr. Isn’t this a bit off before the park opens?”
It was because there was a human who questioned me with an expression full of deprivation. All in all, it was when I was having a meal in the cafeteria.
The main character questioning me is a woman named Shim Yoon-hee, who was once my aide (Jin).
Her ability and reputation are all okay, but I had already thrown her out. No, she can’t even say that she hit me. She just notified an aide she hadn’t even hired yet that she was canceling her job. There was no contractual relationship between us.
However, the person concerned seemed very dissatisfied with my disposition.
“Aide Shim. I don’t know why you’re upset.”
“You’re saying this because you really don’t know… No, what will I become if I cut it like this before the opening of the park? I thought I could work under you, so I organized a secretarial team in advance and rejected all offers from other places.”
“If you wanted to work with me, you shouldn’t have played someone else’s liver.”
“That is a bit exaggerated.”
“Is it really too much?”
“… ….”
He looks like he has nothing to say. It is true that I tried to get involved in the disposal of my coins, so it would be difficult to protest.
But he didn’t back down. In my opinion, it must be considered that it is not an excessive mistake to have the internal appointment canceled.
“… Yes, it is true that I was asked to speak by Sung-gi-nam. But I really think it’s beneficial to you too.”
“You don’t have to make excuses. It must have been something he did without thinking because he was ordered from above. It is true that it is difficult to refuse when an influential person asks.”
“Somebody who knows that… !”
“I have no choice but to organize it because I am afraid that they will continue to monitor me as the higher ups tell me to do. You can’t use someone else’s orders more important than me, the person in charge of personnel affairs, as your chief of staff. Trust has already been broken.”
At these words, Assistant Shim chewed on his lips with an unfair expression.
Well, I’m going to be pissed off. Assuming that you will serve as my chief of staff for the next four years, you must have planned your expenses and envisioned the near future. I don’t want to go back to being a job seeker after being kicked out like this.
“… Representative Lee Soo-ho. I wasn’t going to say anything like that.”
“Then you don’t have to.”
“No. I have to. Even if I am like this, I am the person who served as the vice president of the council of assistants. Congressman, when you first entered the National Assembly as an intern, he was already working as an aide. Even now, there is a certain popularity among practitioners.”
“It sounds like you’re going to damage my reputation if I don’t use Assistant Director Shim, is that right?”
“Until then… Even if it’s not, if my acquaintances ask about Congressman Lee Soo-ho, I’ll be honest. It is said that he is the one who punishes the minor flaws of the practitioner excessively…. I hope you don’t feel sorry for me.”
“Do whatever you want. Then I will do my best to take corresponding measures.”
“… Why. You don’t have to do this just because of one question, do you?”
It seemed like it could be understood as a warning that he wouldn’t stay still if he didn’t write for himself.
It was true that if I looked bad at my aides, I would get tired. The practical affairs of the parliamentarian’s office are taken care of by the chief aide with his secretaries.
But now it wasn’t even intrusive, let alone threatening.
“Can you work without staff? How do you plan to act in the future?”
“Now is not the time for me to worry about the results of my parliamentary activities.”
“Yes… ?”
“Probably not a few of our party’s senior members of the National Assembly are the same. There has to be one or two people involved with Kwon Ye-sol.”
I wasn’t just assuring.
『Breaking news. 19% Drop in mana in 1 hour… Investors panic
The thing I was worried about finally exploded. It would be nice if only tens of thousands of investors could be injured and finished, but that’s not possible.
Tak-!
Suddenly, I heard a dull sound and turned around to see a member of the National Assembly staring blankly at a smartphone that had fallen to the ground. A chart was floating on the screen.
“… No.”
A miserable voice continued.
It’s unfortunate, but this was just the beginning.
