Preparation for nomination is preparation for nomination, and there were other things to do. It was because at last good news had arrived from Harry Alexander.
Throughout the call, he couldn’t hide his excitement.
{(The San Francisco floor area ratio increase bill has been passed. It is the same as the existing data. How did you get this?)}
“(That’s a secret.)”
“(Sorry, but you’re really amazing.)”
“(You worked hard.)”
Zach Gardner, who led the increase in the floor area ratio in Silicon Valley, hurriedly tried to change the policy after we bought the land. However, the combination has already been made, and it was difficult to adjust the wind that crossed the upper line.
‘Of course, I also tried my hand.’
Of course we moved too. Part of the activity fund was used to provide convenience to the regional development committee. Without going to the advice of lobby expert Hugo Evans, it was finished with Fred Balman.
There was a big difference in the ability to mobilize funds between those who wanted to make a big chunk out of real estate development and those who wanted to build nice buildings even if they ate a little less.
‘Zach Gardner. Since they have their eyes on the Carver Group, they’re giving it to me in its entirety.’
The fact that he was trying to use Elisa to gain access to the Carver Group was outrageous. A person who lacks ability is greedy, so the land is taken away and he can’t approach Elisha.
Silicon Valley was famous for not easily raising the floor area ratio. It was clear that a lot of effort had to be put into persuading people in that area.
‘I must have suffered to the bone.’
While he was careful not to get caught, he swallowed the ground he had prepared for cooking.
It was very sweet.
Zach Gardner did the hard work, and I ate the biggest fruit. It was rewarding to buy from the net exhaust land.
After purchasing the land, it was time to build.
‘I told Hanul to review the design in advance.’
I called Im Hanul.
He immediately answered the phone and asked in an excited voice.
{Jaegu Jaegu Kim Jaegu. Looks like you’re back in Korea.}
“Uh. Have you tried designing the building I was talking about last time?”
{I told my father and took care of it myself… I don’t know much about architecture, so I don’t know how to look at it.}
When he said little, he cared a lot.
“When can I see you?”
{Are you available at 2:00 tomorrow?}
“uh.”
{Come to the front gate of Taesan Construction. Let’s talk inside.}
“okay.”
They asked for a futuristic and innovative design, and I was very curious about what kind of design they would come up with.
‘Now that I think about it, the requirements are very ambiguous.’
But if you’re an expert, you’ll do just fine.

Nam Il-seung’s steps on the way to meet Lee Yu-san were light. It was because people from the Lee Yoo-san line were more likely to run, thanks to the match taking into account the compatibility of candidates for each constituency.
‘I’ve only shown my incompetence lately, but I finally have a chance to make up for it.’
I was treated as an incompetent aide because of a guy named Kim Jae-goo who suddenly appeared recently, but there was a reason I was promoted to the aide.
You had to be good at flattery, but it wasn’t a position you could get to just by being good at flattery.
He hurriedly came to the parliamentary office with the data obtained by requesting an opinion poll. The clerk at the door
blocked the front
“The Senator hasn’t come yet.”
“Yes. I’ll wait here.”
He was splitting up the events, but it was natural that he was so busy during the election season.
After waiting for a while, Rep. Lee Yu-san entered the door. He jumped up from his seat and bowed his head.
“Rep. Yusan Lee! Thank you for your hard work.”
“Uh. Yes. My aide, Nam. How did the results of this poll come out?”
“It’s as expected. It seems that more than 80% of the people you pushed will be able to run.”
“80%? Less than I thought.”
Nam Il-seung’s hands sweated at Yoo-san’s sullen reaction. He held out the file he had brought with both hands.
“From a conservative point of view, it is 80%. The actual running rate is expected to be close to 90%.”
“90%. Yes. That’s how it should be. The other person is that Han Jung-taek, a newbie. Shouldn’t he be further away from here?”
“As you know, Congressman Han Joong-taek is a member of the youth group…”
“So I guess I’m targeting the younger generation as well.”
Yusan Lee flipped through the file he sent. It is a summary of the current situation and a summary of what will be done in the future.
Nam Il-seung swallowed his saliva as he stood and looked at the file several times.
He let out a deep sigh and threw the file into Nam Il-seung’s arms. Nam Il-seung hurriedly grabbed the file.
“There’s no substance. Do you have a plan yet?”
“Since I ran for the match, if there are no variables, I will be elected without any problems.
Nam Il-seung paid special attention to that part. However, Yusan was not trusting him.
“Has there ever been an election without a variable?”
‘If you look for it, you’ll probably find it at least once…’
Nam Il-seung looked at Yu-san’s expression.
‘It’s not an atmosphere that I can go against.’
“Sorry. I’ll make it up soon.”
“Yes. A lion does his best even when catching a rabbit. Never be vigilant until the results come out.”
“All right!”
“You’re very good at answering. It would be nice if you were as good at your work as you were at answering.”
“I’ll try my best.”
Yusan Lee patted Nam Ilseung on the shoulder.
“You don’t have to work hard, you have to do well.”
Nam Il-seung was well aware of his benevolent smile.
“Yes. I’ll do my best.”

If the call list and messenger were all investigated, it would be more difficult to find someone who was not guilty.
Not to mention the private lives of people who thought they were nanda.
It was the feeling I had when I heard the report on the first day of Benjamin Chung.
‘It’s really beyond imagination.’
They were living very hard, flattering some and harassing others in order to increase their status.
‘It’s a style I really hate to have as a boss.’
A person who only showed a gentle side in the media could be trash in private. There were also frequent conversations that flattered Yu-san and relieved stress from the people around him.
But you can’t bury people just because you don’t like them.
‘Leaving aside the fact that I don’t like his personality, I have to find evidence of the crime first.’
The most benign crime was impersonation. They were obsessed with what they had built, and they were intent on nurturing successors to inherit it.
However, child farming did not go as planned.
The first clue was caught here.
‘My parents work in Seoul, but the child lives alone in a fishing village?’
It was nonsense.
Compared to cities, rural areas lacked educational infrastructure, so many parents left rural areas when their children grew up.
To prevent this, the special screening for rural areas was created. It is a system that allocates part of the admission quota to students from rural areas, and was able to pass the university with a lower score than other screening methods.
‘Although people with a lot of money send them off to study abroad altogether.’
In addition, vitality was important for entering college. Circumstances of bribing teachers and receiving certificates were captured. Some candidates pretended to write a thesis in collusion with a university professor.
‘I guess we can get rid of these two for now.’
In Korea, where education fever is high, corruption in entrance exams was a sensitive crime. In an area that was believed to be relatively fair, if injustice occurred, there was no choice but to react sensitively.
In addition, fake transfer was a crime punishable by imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to 30 million won.
‘Shall we refine the data and report it?’
At the police station, Mt. Lee had an assistant. However, no matter how sneaky they were, they would not be able to manipulate the case that attracted public attention.
It was clear that the people would soon feel tired if the amount of corruption committed by various politicians on various topics increased.
But what if you tie several people to one subject?
‘I need to find someone to be the captain.’
If the target audience is attractive, it could be an issue for a while. In addition, if you sway public opinion by tying up with an attractive target, you could treat all the members who participated in the corruption in the entrance examination as a set.
“Thank you for your hard work. We look forward to seeing you in the future.”
“Please leave it to me.”
Benjamin Chung said goodbye and left the study.
‘It’s better to do this with a group than to do it alone.’
I immediately called Dokgo Gab.
After a few rings, he answered the phone.
{It’s a single glove. What are you doing? President Kim Jae-gu.}
“Please cull all the people involved in the irregularities in the entrance examination in the Lee Yusan Alliance.”
{Are you talking about corruption in the entrance exam?}
“Yes. It’s better if the incident is provocative, and it’s even better if it’s someone in an important position.”
There was silence for a while.
{Are you trying to deal with it all at once?}
“It will be more efficient than dispersing energy. If we all work together, there is nothing we can’t do.”
{This is also President Kim. That’s a pretty good opinion.}
“It’s too much praise.”
{I’ll pass it on to the members and find out the candidates who have irregularities in the entrance exam first. It’s an area where the data remains relatively clear, so it won’t be difficult to investigate.}
“you’re right.”
In fact, it was difficult to prove a crime such as Dokgo-jin’s murder instigation. If you go down several levels of subcontracting, there is a high probability that there will be a part where the link is broken in the middle.
But the entrance exam was different.
Colleges probably keep materials related to entrance exams. In addition, high school transcripts and addresses were bound to remain.
With proof, things were much easier.
{Thanks for the comments. It was also good to invite President Kim.}
“hahahaha.”
It’s the same team now, but I don’t know what will happen in the future. Even so, I thought that it would be nice to stay on the same side if possible.
{See you soon.}
“great.”
Let’s see how much everyone has accumulated.
You can express it with this color
The pumpkin rolling in by the vine must have been a reference to the current situation.
‘Telecom call log… This is a no-brainer.’
Usually, when I talk to acquaintances, I don’t think that the contents will be recorded. And so were the opponents we were targeting.
‘It’s a pity that I can’t submit this as evidence.’
Still, if there was a clue, the investigation would proceed properly. Whether that be asking Benjamin Chung to personally investigate, or asking Moon Moo-young to request a police investigation.
Moon Moo-young was also contacted by personal mail. With Dokgojin arrested, they became close enough to help without asking where the information came from.
Besides, he was a detective with a sense of justice, so it was clear that he would be itching to see the clues.
‘I’ve finished what I need to do in a hurry.’
My steps on the way to meet Im Han-ul were light.
Whenever I met someone in Gangnam, there was always a place to go. It was Hanseonggak, a high-end Korean restaurant.
When I made a reservation, the boss immediately took me to the plum room without a second thought. Now, when you think of Hanseonggak, Maehwasil comes to mind first.
I sat down, ordered a menu, and waited for him. I’m not particularly busy these days, so I have some time left.
‘I think playing with Ha-yeon is the busiest thing.’
When my child entered school in March, I thought it would be quite lonely. Thanks to Happy’s quick adjustment to the new yard, the two played hide-and-seek in every nook and cranny of the manicured garden.
When I thought of it, I laughed because it was cute.
‘How good is a dog’s sense of smell…’
There is no way you can play hide-and-seek with a puppy in the first place. Still, it was ironic to see that the porridge matched so well.
As I was drinking the first tea and organizing my thoughts, Im Han-ul came into the plum room.
“Jaegujaegu. Did you come early?”
“uh.”
“Isn’t it too early these days? You can come just in time for your appointment.”
“You came too early on the day I introduced Congressman Seol Gyeong-taek, so it became a habit after that.”
“Ah. Was it because of me? Sorry.”
“I’m sorry. Thanks to you, it’s nice to come early and meditate.”
“Do you meditate these days?”
“No. I thought I’d try.”
“Cheap.”
Im Han-ul smiled and took out a bunch of sketches from his briefcase.
“First of all, I only drew one sketch from my father’s construction company and three commissioned sketches from three companies specializing in architectural design.”
He handed me a wad of paper.
“I didn’t write down the name, so if you know where it is, I don’t want to interfere with choosing, so take a look.”
“Uh. Thank you.”
It must have been difficult to convince the architect to select only the design, but it was clear that he had worked hard. I slowly looked at the papers he gave me, turning them over one by one from the beginning.
“The concept of this seems to be a fish.”
“Yes. They say it’s a blueprint made in the shape of a fin, and they say that the color of the window changes little by little depending on the angle at which the light hits it, so it will be fantastic.”
It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t seem like a good fit for Silicon Valley. I also thought of the concept of a fish swimming in the sea of information, but nothing caught my eye.
The second piece was mediocre. It was a futuristic design, and a swimming pool was placed on the upper floors to connect the buildings, a design that had already been applied to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
‘These days, apartments often do this. I don’t think it fits well with Silicon Valley.’
“It passes.”
