60 episodes. The size is a bit big.
Tranus’ expression darkened.
“Is it important? What else?”
“It’s about racehorses that have been transferred to Korea. Out of a total of 1,400 horses, there were 400 ferrets, 200 breeding mares, and 800 racehorses that could run on active duty. Do you know what happened to 800 racehorses among them?”
“……I do not know.”
Have you ever sold it to another country?
Why is your expression like that?
“In a month, 300 out of 800 raced and about 250 slaughtered. After just one race.”
“Yes? No, did you misunderstand something?”
“It’s true. You tracked it down with your authority. Who would have imagined that this would happen in just a month? Aside from using it to raise someone’s slush fund, how do you get it out of a game and win? I couldn’t believe they were sending all the bad horses to the slaughterhouse.”
The first thing that came to mind at that moment was the GL group.
The laggards, no, the laggards in the process of squeezing out subcontractors.
Places like Yuwon Precision, which were pushed back by the former Gangseong Precision’s lobby.
In the words of Manager Lee, I heard that when it comes to organizing business partners, especially if dirty techniques are added, they will be forced to close the business.
This is because the relevant evidence can be easily removed.
Maybe they’re trying to quickly dispose of the racehorses to get rid of any evidence?
“Actually, slaughtering unsuccessful racehorses happens in every country in the world. But it’s too harsh that horses that have just moved to another country are given only one chance. Even last year’s champion Big Boss. They even slaughtered my brother mercilessly. If only he had been given another chance, he would have shown his potential.”
“That’s right, huh…”
Korea is particularly harsh on competition.
Most people think that if they fall behind in the competition, it is inevitable that they will be eliminated.
Just because you’re given one chance doesn’t mean you’ve violated a rule or law.
Not just racehorses, but us too, right?
The CSAT, which is a summary of the school years of more than 10 years, can be viewed only once a year.
If you fail, you won’t die like a racehorse, but for another year in your life, you have to hold your breath in front of your desk and live for luck.
“Of course, there are some race horse exporting countries like us, but Korea seems to neglect the stallion industry on its own. It still relies on imports for most of it.”
“Unlike Australia, Korea does not have a good understanding of horse racing. But what does it mean to have contributed?”
“Ah, most of the horses exported abroad are castrated. So even if Korea imports a large amount of racehorses, they cannot produce a proper stallion horse.”
That was all castration!?
“Why? You’re paying for it, so why do you castrate and sell it?”
“That’s why I’ll come to buy horses again next year. If you crossbreed those horses to produce excellent horses, there’s no need to import them.”
Wow, that’s not enough, but that’s how the board was made.
We’re not just swearing!
“Then what should Korea do to develop the stallion industry?”
“Once you get a good sire, you have to take it overseas and bred it with a good brood.”
I frowned.
“Isn’t that the case after all? If you produce excellent stallions like that, you don’t have to go abroad to breed them later.
“That’s the case with the highest-ranking stallion horses. Those horses are the backbone of the country’s stallion industry. Instead, the lower grades are possible.
The original technology is not leaked.
Is this why backward countries are sad?
“By the way, what happened to Santa Maria?”
The one and only riding horse and the most expensive horse.
Those words, too, were passed on to Korea through them.
“I met a young woman named Choi Min-jung. I found out that she was the daughter of the chief of staff of the president named Choi Soo-hyuk.”
It’s great.
She is the daughter of the Chief of Staff to the President.
“Then the slush fund in Vanuatu might have something to do with the president.”
“I don’t know for sure. Because Santa Maria and the racehorses moved on different routes.”
“Yes? Isn’t Santa Maria going through a central agency like a racehorse?”
“The name was transferred from JH Inter immediately.”
Santa Maria appeared to be lobbying the chief of staff at the GL Group.
JH Inter’s name was included, but the money of the magic society didn’t go there, so it probably is.
However, there were still things that were difficult to understand.
Just a racehorse and a slush fund.
The GL group could have raised 200 billion won on its own, but why did they use racehorses to transfer the money of the horse society, that is, blood tax, to a tax haven?
Even Tranus couldn’t figure out the reason.
“What are you going to do? It’s the right arm of the most powerful person in your country. The place that worked on it was GL Group, the second-largest business in Korea.”
“……”
Does the curiosity end here?
No matter how you think about it, this is not a good thing.
It’s not that I have a strong sense of justice.
“Young man, stop here. I’m worried about you.”
“Isn’t it a little dangerous?”
“It’s nagging to say the least. It’s irritating when you look at what you’re doing honestly, but there’s no way to sanction it here. Racehorses are a commodity after all, so it’s up to you whether you buy them, kill them or release them. not.”
“That’s right. The size is a bit big.”
Tranus poured a glass of wine into my glass.
“Drink until your nose is crooked and sleep soundly. So that you can forget about it the next day.”

crumble.
I was tossing and turning in my sleep, and I felt the bed sheets wrapped around my skin.
It smells good because it is an expensive hotel.
However, I was less awake, so I could smell and feel other people’s flesh.
‘yes? This……’
I just turned into ice.
It was definitely a touch to the skin.
‘what? Tranus: Did that person put a woman in my room?’
Without moving, I glanced at the woman lying next to me with clairvoyance.
But he was wearing a blanket so he couldn’t see well.
Then she tossed and clasped my back.
‘Wow, I’m really drunk. When did you come?’
It was Jessica.
I pretended to just wake up and lay back.
Then she sat back down as if in my arms.
“woke up?”
“Uh… huh. When did you come?”
“Don’t you remember?”
Not at all, not at all.
“Ah, head. I drank a little too much yesterday.”
“Why do you drink so much alcohol that you can’t even win? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen you so drunk.”
It’s my first time too.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a party like this before.
“What happened to you? It must be twelve o’clock when you finish work, so why didn’t you go home?”
“Your brother called!”
“My, I? Really?”
“Aww, really! He asked me to come because it was hard! I knew something else was going on!”
“……”
You’re crazy, Jin Yoosung.
Miss…
“Yeah, it was hard because I was sleeping alone these days. Hugh, I think it would be better if you just move me to the morning shift if you can’t do it.”
“Don’t say anything else.”
“I’m not drunk yet, can we talk later?”
Oh, my head still hurts to have a serious conversation in the morning.
I gently buried my face in her chest.
“Is that what you were talking about before?”
Jessica did not refuse and hugged me warmly.
I made fun of my hand for this time.
“That’s right. Oh, it’s hard.”
“Damn! Hey! Don’t do it!”
“Hey? This.”
“Ugh, I wanted to be serious! Are you going to be like this in the morning?”
“I usually do better in the morning.”
“You said you were good at night before?”
“Yeah? Then try both and compare.”
“Fuck!”
I have been rolling around with full power since morning.
Maybe it was because I drank alcohol last night, so my love was springing up more than usual.
So you’ll get hungry soon.
“Let’s go. I need to eat something to soothe my stomach.”
“The look on their dying face! Does such a person have to lose so much energy in the morning?
Scared to smoke, he slapped his forearm and hit him.
Why is it that being hit by your mother and sister is a homage to you?
By the time we went down to the hotel restaurant, it was already lunch time.
I brought only the corn soup and started eating it.
At times like this, eating bean sprouts soup would relieve my stomach, but I felt like I was in a foreign country.
“brother.”
“yes?”
“What the hell is going on?”
“Nothing happened.”
“But why did you drink until it became rice cake?”
“I’m just saying I knew the world was scarier than it looked? It was bland.”
The relationship between politics and business that you saw in movies or TV shows? slush money?
After actually peeking at it, should I say that my spine has cooled down?
I opened Pandora’s box out of curiosity, but fortunately the contents inside did not come out, so I was relieved inwardly.
So, why not go out without drinking?
“Oppa, I think I became an adult overnight.”
“Huh? Me? Hmm, was it that good? Do you have to drink this often? Hehe.”
“At times like this, you’re a child without fail. You’re not going to do elementary school like your brother these days, right?”
Jessica rolled her eyes as if she wanted to catch up.
“Hmm, I’m talking about having fun.”
“It’s not fun at all.”
“……”
“Isn’t that what you said before or not?”
I did not readily answer, I just ate it.
“Didn’t my dad say before that it’s better not to think about whether or not to do it?”
“It did.”
“As I said to my brother, my father is a soldier. I had been deposed for accusations of military abduction in the past. He was a colonel, but he was demoted by one rank to a lieutenant colonel.”
Huh, were you the colonel’s daughter?
I thought he was a non-commissioned officer, but he was an elite officer.
“When my father first found out about the corruption in the military, he thought a lot about whether to file a complaint or not. Because I had no strength because I had a new colonel attached, and it wasn’t a problem to put up a star if I just stood still.”
“It must have been because the next one after the colonel is One Star. But why did you do that?”
“It was said that the national defense expenditures were more than expected due to corruption. If it were not for that, the soldiers would be able to enjoy their military life in a better environment and their national defense power would be higher. So I just closed my eyes and cried.”
“As a result, you were demoted and you must have regretted it.”
“Rather than regretting being demoted, he said he regretted it because he was not prepared enough. I wasted all my time contemplating whether to build it or not. I thought I lost because I didn’t fully prepare. So he said that if you are hesitant to make a decision, it is better not to do it.”
“……”
“My father, who was a natural soldier, was just full of justice, and it wasn’t like that.”
I don’t know the sense of justice, but seeing that I regret losing, I think the desire to win is a natural soldier.
“Rather than that, maybe your father was worried about the aftermath of the accusation on the unit and the family? In my view, since I was in the military, the bribery of the military is really huge. It’s a retaliatory move, but I think it’s fortunate that we’re downgraded by one rank.”
“Ah, that’s because the person who looked after Dad took off his clothes instead. After that, he was relegated because he was framed for something else.”
Oh my gosh, you’ve become like a kite that has fallen off the string.
I just regret it.
“In the end, you thought it was just self-satisfaction, Dad.”
Jessica gave an appropriate example as if she knew my situation.
As far as telling your personal family history.
Thanks, it seemed to be a little comforting.
The only difference is that I was aware of the corruption, but I already gave up last night.
“I decided not to. Don’t worry too much.”
“If you decide not to, don’t worry about it and forget it. Oppa, do you know that you are very proud of yourself?”
Am I?
It was the time for advice.
-Turrr.
There was a phone call, and the moment I saw the caller, I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.
‘Junho Kang……’
