What Dokgo Gap said was right.
“Yes. As you may know, Yongnam Hwang of the Hwangryong Group asked me to meet him.”
Yongnam Hwang. He was the one on the list.
“What did you ask to meet?”
“They asked me to investigate something about you. I couldn’t refuse.”
He clenched his fists.
“But don’t worry, I don’t intend to tell you anything. I’m sorry I called and naked you last time.”
Lee Chul-Hyun put both hands on his knees and bowed his head. It was embarrassing to receive an apology from my friend’s father, who did nothing special.
“Why are you like this? Raise your head.”
“That’s what I called you funny.”
I remembered. These were the words he said at the first meeting with Lim Cheol-hyeon. I didn’t even put it in thinking that it was the heart of a parent who worries about their child…
“I was narrow-minded. I apologize like this, so I hope you forgive me.”
He bowed his head again. After forcing himself to stand up, he raised his head.
“I didn’t even put that in.”
“Did you bow your head because of something you didn’t put in?
Would a person with a small bowl bow his head to a very young person?
“Rather than that, could you tell us more about the person named Hwang Yong-nam?”
“Although they are alumni, they are not very close. They suddenly asked to see each other last week. So…”
He told me the story he had with Hwang Yong-nam. They said they met twice and kept asking for information about me.
‘It feels like I’ve been forced to do something I don’t want to do.’
If he had seriously tried to find out about me, he wouldn’t have approached it this way. If so, it could be seen that it was moved under the direction of a higher person.
I thought that even within the coalition, there might be opponents who thought badly of Dokgo-jin.
‘Maybe this could be used against the large number of people?’
He was definitely a morning person
Dorim, a member-based high-class fairy.
The place where Mt. Lee often visited was where the so-called ‘Yeonhap’ usually held meetings.
Lee Yu-san, a member of the National Assembly, was having a drink with Jung Jae-il of JJ Telecom, who was ranked fourth in the business world. He liked to finish his business talk before calling the girls.
The reason was that he couldn’t concentrate on play without finishing work. There were people who talked about business with women, but he never took outsiders when talking about business.
And that included employees.
‘A lot of guys who didn’t know how to be afraid of women went into big houses.’
Birds listen to daytime words, and mice listen to nighttime words. And the stories going on in the bar were heard by the waiters.
Women who sold themselves for money could also sell trust for money. No matter how diligently the madam cracked down, a leaky gourd would always come out.
‘Loyalty with guests? It’s something that only comes out of a movie.’
So whenever he talked about business, bodyguards were standing around him. I did not forget to use other people than when I was working as a member of the parliament.
There were a lot of people who filled their donation pockets, so I didn’t have to worry about money.
Yusan Lee filled Jeong Jaeil’s glass with alcohol. Jeong Jae-il took the cup with both hands and then filled Yoo-san’s cup.
The two clinked glasses together.
Yoosan poured the liquor down her throat and let out a loud exclamation. His eyes turned to Jeong Jae-il.
“Thanks to our President Chung, I can live happily. Thank you very much, Chairman Chung.”
“What are you talking about? Senior. Isn’t everyone living thanks to you?”
The backbone of the alliance was Yu San, Jeong Jae Il, and Moon Mun Taek. Jeong Jae-il was running an octopus-style chaebol group based on a third-generation telecommunications company.
Running a telecommunications company meant being able to see people’s call history.
“Thanks to your help, it’s so easy to clean up the bad guys.”
“Shouldn’t we cooperate as much as we can to make Korea a good place to live?”
Inside JJ Telecom, there was a separate department that managed the communication details of people suspected of being defectors or whistleblowers. It was nominally the strategy department directly under the president, but there were only a handful of people who planned the strategy.
According to Jeong Jae-il’s order, they extracted and analyzed people’s phone calls and made data. It was no different from a direct unit run by company money.
honey sucking team.
It was the image of a unit under direct control that was known to the outside world. But beyond that, what they do is unknown.
For that purpose, loyal middle managers who only write useless reports were also assigned to the team. Employees who saw the report they pulled out were busy cursing.
[Did you write it to do this?]
[Did you go on a business trip for this?]
[Oh, I also want to join the special strategy team.]
[Don’t you know that going in there will ruin your career?]
The incompetent president’s direct unit. Thanks to this, there was no suspicion that they would commit illegal acts behind the scenes.
“Does Seol Kyung-taek have any special moves?”
“Yes. I’m living a boring routine.”
Seol Gyeong-taek was one of the people mentioned as the next presidential candidate along with Lee Yu-san. Even though they were just newly elected members of the National Assembly, people evaluated Yoo San and Seol Kyung Taek together.
Even the popularity of the two boiled.
‘It feels bad to be tied up with such a kid.’
Yu-san hated being compared to him. I ate political rice for 8 more years than that, and I was much more solid about my career before that.
However, popular popularity was different. Perhaps the public thought that his late entry into politics was fresh, and he gained full support from the younger generation.
It even came out that most of the middle class supported him. So far, he has the upper hand, but sooner or later, when the negative strategy begins, it is clear that he will be pushed back.
I had to find his weakness.
‘Because if I have even a little pod, I can inflate it.’
I needed a material that could shake my opponent. Although there was a problem with his nephew’s fake transfer, it was nothing compared to the corruption of his son’s military service.
A more decisive weakness was needed. So, Jeong Jae-il’s side was looking through Seol Gyeong-taek’s past phone calls.
It was possible because JJ Telecom had a market share of close to 50% of domestic telecommunications companies.
“Isn’t there anything worth writing about in the past?”
“There is nothing other than sharing the story of melon frost when I was young.”
“Even before you become a politician, it’s fine, so search all over.”
He was searching all over for materials that had already been transferred to the storage warehouse.
“I will do my best.”
“Yes. Yes. You know I only trust Chairman Chung, right?”
Lee Yoo-san filled Jeong Jae-il’s glass with alcohol. It was so full that it overflowed.
“I’m also looking through the call history of that bastard, Kim Jae-gu, but only what I already know came out.”
After Kim Jae-gu got the cheat, he used a cannon phone when meeting new people, so it wasn’t easy to catch his tail.
“It’s okay. You can take it slow.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. So, focus on Seol Kyung-taek first.”
“All right.”
To Yoo-san, Kim Jae-goo still seemed like a pyramid.
‘Dok-go has committed many sins, so all the flies are attracted to him. Should I organize it sooner or later?’
He began to think about how to send Dokgojin out while maintaining the alliance.
***
Soybean paste stew eaten in Korea was on a different level from eating abroad. Thanks to hiring a new chef for the employees staying in Korea, they were able to escape from instant and delivery food hell.
‘Because they could do something to the food delivered.’
When choosing a chef, the most important thing was reliability. I chose someone who takes pride in his food and will never do anything shameful.
Because the eyes of trust were convenient in many ways.
‘Since there are 15 of them, it’s inevitable that there will be people who disagree with Dokgo-jin.’
Although he held hands with Dokgo Gab, the information coming from him was not enough. Furthermore, the union needed someone to muddy the waters.
‘Companies with a large domestic market should be excluded.’
Because they share a big meaning with Yusan, the chances of them being on my side were low.
‘First of all, I’m not Chairman Jeong Jae-il.’
After learning that Chairman Jeong Jae-il belonged to the group, he prepared several more mobile phones that use other communication networks. No matter how much it is a cannon phone, I wanted to avoid being caught by the pod at all costs.
‘Because there is no guarantee that there will be no censorship.’
Excluding Jung Jae-il, he started looking through other people’s documents. It was good to choose someone who has been doing well overseas recently among those who have a relatively high share of the overseas market.
‘Even Hwang Yong-nam won’t do it.’
Hwangryong Heavy Industries recently received good reviews in quality evaluation and received several ship orders. In particular, he said that he made a lot of profit by reducing labor costs at the factory he built in Vietnam. Taking this as an opportunity, the company tried to organize domestic factories and set up factories overseas. However, it was not possible to fire them according to the labor law and suffered a headache.
In the midst of this, Yusan Yoo proposed an employment flexibility bill. It was obvious that Hwang Yong-nam’s influence was also involved. He will be thinking of reducing the size through free layoffs and relocating the factory abroad.
So even if it’s not, I have no choice but to follow Yu-san’s words.
‘Sung Yohan. This person will be fine.’
As Eunsung Electronics recently became known for its excellent home appliance business, the proportion of exports increased rapidly, and its main source of income shifted from domestic demand to overseas.
Besides, the ranking was quite high.
’17th place in the financial system. It’s a bit lower than Dokgojin, but it’s only been three years since he inherited the company.’
Eunsung Group, which was once ranked 5th in the financial hierarchy, passed away four years ago and was inherited by his children. In this process, it was divided and divided, and what remained was the current Eunsung Group. Although the eldest son, Sung Yo-han, took over the net companies, it was inevitable that the scale would decrease.
‘It was a relatively recent time to join the association, and sales are rising sharply as word of mouth in the United States unexpectedly rises.’
Even though he had followed his father, who was a member of the alliance, he didn’t seem to have friendly relations with them yet. His infrequent attendance at meetings was evidence of this.
‘I tend to donate a lot. You may be a better person than you think. It would be better to contact this person first.’
I was already a person of interest, so I couldn’t contact him directly. It was decided to give instructions to a person who was trustworthy but whose face was not well known in the opposing camp.
***
People have routines.
Some wake up at 6:00 in the morning, some wake up as late as 2:00 in the afternoon.
If you ask what type of person Chairman Sung Yo-han is, he is definitely a morning person.
‘The air is fresh again today.’
5 am. His day began by jogging along the dark dawn road before the sun had yet risen.
Dawn when no one moves except the diligent cleaners. I couldn’t give up the feeling that I had completely rented out the deserted streets.
At that time, it was the time when President Sung Yo-han was alone.
Sung Yo-han, a 3rd dan in Taekwondo, 2nd dan in kendo, and a purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu, was confident that he could beat anyone he met. Besides, he had a stun gun in his pocket.
‘They’re really disgusting guys.’
He joined the Union because of his father’s creed. It was a coalition that he had heard of that a tree that grows alone will fall down due to envy, but the inside was completely different from what he thought.
‘Even if you have that much, what’s lacking is why you’re trying to have more.’
His father told him to keep his rivals close and keep them in check, but Sung Yo-han didn’t want to be that close to them. It made me sick to think of the red-faced and ardent rants whenever anything that would benefit them was mentioned.
It was like the demons of hell.
Naturally, he had no choice but to sit like a folding screen. It was nerve-wracking just to sit among old people who didn’t even try to hide their greed.
If it hadn’t been for my father’s will, I would never have entered.
‘I can’t go out because I’ve already taken a face stamp.’
I didn’t have the confidence to make an enemy of lawmaker Lee Yu-san and do business in Korea. If the 14 chaebols join hands and play daguri, they won’t be able to survive.
‘What are you thinking about? Now that I’m in a good mood, I’m going to turn around one more time and go in.’
As he turned the corner, a man stood in front of him as if he had been waiting. He tried to pass by, but the man rather blocked his path.
“What are you doing?”
Sung Yo-han put his hand in the pocket where the stun gun was stored. It was still dark, so I couldn’t see his face very well, but I could tell he was big.
“Chairman Sung Yo-han of Eunsung Electronics.”
Chairman Sung Yo-han took a stance and put the hand holding the stun gun in his pocket. It was ready to attack at any time when the enemy approached.

Jason Cole, wearing a hood, opened his mouth, keeping his distance from him.
“Would you like to join hands with us?”
“Do you know who you are and hold hands?”
“Don’t you think that the current political and business world is rotten?”
“That can’t be the case. Why don’t you reveal your identity first?”
Sung Yo-han widened the gap and lowered his stance.
“President Kim Jae-goo sent me here.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Jaegu Kim. It was obviously a name that came out at a meeting of the association. He was a man who was called the president of the pants of the Taesan Group Federation, who had been fighting Dokgojin.
I didn’t even look into him because I wasn’t interested. Besides, I never thought I’d come in contact with myself.
Bewildered for a moment. The cold morning air cooled his sweat, clearing his head.
‘Is there a loyalty test like this?’
The corners of his lips twisted up.
How did Kim Jae-gu know that he belonged to the alliance and suddenly appear and propose an alliance?
‘This is a test.’
he straightened his stance.
There was no need to worry about the answer.
“I will refuse.”
“Think carefully.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Jason Cole put the cannon phone he received from Jaegu Kim on the floor.
“Speed number 1.”
He left without looking back. Sung Yo-han picked up the cell phone and paper lying on the floor.
There was only one number stored on the cell phone.
‘What if this is an opportunity to escape the Union?’
If it was a test, I thought it would be a test. He dialed the speed dial number 1.
can’t you put it down?
The number 1 registered on the mobile phone delivered to Sung Yo-han was a phone number that connected directly to me. I had it hooked up to one of my cannon phones, and it was meant to be used exclusively for that purpose.
I couldn’t be caught trying to save a few pennies.
‘I’ll be in touch soon.’
It was clear that it would take time, as Sung Yo-han would also need to understand the situation.
‘If you have a deep relationship with the alliance, you won’t be contacted.’
Daepo phones did not use JJ Telecom’s frequency. So it was impossible to track the location in less than a minute.
It was something I could just step out of if I felt strange.
‘Because the choice is yours to make.’
If you want to get a clue about me, you won’t be able to stand still. Because I couldn’t find out anything with just a phone number.
