Sungmin Han put his hands together as if praying.
‘please. It should yield good results.’
The gap between the Hwaseong cap was overwhelming. The candidate of the 1st party tried hard to follow him, but the result was already decided.
A prosecutor who took off his clothes while fighting for the common people came to the Hwaseong Gap district where the common people live. That alone had an impact enough, to even attract Disneyland.
Overwhelming approval ratings compared to other regions showed faith in him. It’s only 11:30 in the evening. Candidate Seong-Min Han’s election was announced.
[Mars A. Candidate Seongmin Han. He was elected as a member of the National Assembly with a majority of 75% approval rating.]
[Congratulations on winning the first prize.]
[You showed a huge vote rate from the beginning in the Hwaseong area.]
[They say they are attracting Disney Land, but I really want to visit it once it is built.]
[It’s like a dream that Dungeness Land is coming to Korea.]
[Rep. Seongmin Han. Congratulations. I look forward to positive steps for the common people in the future.]
Shirley Fisher patted him on the shoulder.
“(congratulations.)”
Han Seong-min opened his mouth wide and quietly blinked his eyes. I felt like I was supposed to run wild with joy, but I didn’t feel it.
The situation right now was like a dream.
he pinched his cheek.
“Ouch.”
Tears came out stingingly.
It was real.
“Uh…wowaaa!!!”
He stretched his arms upward and cheered loudly. Everyone in the camp stood up and celebrated the victory.
“Thank you all!!”
Han Seong-min bowed his head 90 degrees toward them. A thunderous applause broke out.
“It’s all thanks to you!
And there was someone who wanted to deliver this good news faster than anyone else. He hurriedly took the phone out of his pocket.
A call was already coming in from him.
I got a call right away.
“Chief Kim!”
{Mr. Han Seong-min. Congratulations.}
His congratulations moved Han Sung-min’s heart more than other people’s congratulations. The person who lifted you up from hell in a difficult time. The person who silently supported me from behind until I came to this position.
It was Kim Jae-gu.
My heart was pounding and the sound of crying filled my throat.
{Rep. Seongmin Han?}
“Chief Kim! Thank you so much!”
I knew I couldn’t see it, but I had to keep my head down. I wanted to run to his place right now and tell him the good news.
Tears of joy flowed from his eyes.
***
Attorney Sungmin Han finally became a member of the National Assembly.
My heart was pounding as I heard him say thanks in a locked voice.
But this was just the beginning.
Han Seong-min’s result came out because of the overwhelming difference in votes, but other regions were still fighting. However, it was true that Seol Kyung-taek had the upper hand.
‘Can I really pass the majority?’
If they could win a majority of seats, they could change Korea.
damn it Han Jung-taek
The atmosphere at the election camp of the 1st party to which Lee Yu-san belonged froze. Contrary to expectations, it was because Seol Gyeong-taek’s camp was promoting, and Han Seong-min was the first to be elected.
‘Damn it. Han Jung-taek.’
Lee Yu-san gnashed her teeth internally, but tried her best not to show it on her face. Instead, he kept his mouth shut and stared at the screen.
Inside the camp, reporters called in to film their cheering scene were waiting. They, too, could not open their mouths, but only looked at them.
‘Why is the atmosphere like this?’
The reporters who came in with the intention of taking pictures and eating delicious food were also very nervous about the current situation.
[Namyangju City B. Lim Joo-hee. He was elected with a majority of 68% approval rating. Congratulations.]
[Congratulations.]
The second winner was Seol Gyeong-taek’s camp. Yu-san couldn’t hold back her anger and jumped up from her seat.
If it wasn’t for the reporters, he would have already erupted in anger, but he was a person who knew how to manage his image in front of the media.
he took a deep breath.
“I will go to the bathroom.”
“Everything… please go. Congressman.”
After today, he was no longer a Member of Parliament. Like Seol Kyung-taek, he also did not run for the general election to run for the president.
Han Jung-taek got up from his seat and sat down repeatedly. When Yu-san left the camp, he eventually got up too.
The reporters’ eyes were on him.
“I’m going to call you in a minute.”
Since Lee Yu-san was going far, Han Jung-taek followed him. Since the forces that supported him had been blown up and disappeared, it was clear that political life would be difficult if he escaped Yusan’s eyes.
Fortunately, thanks to Dokgo-gap’s early stabbing, he was able to run for the district he usually ran for.
Yusan Lee was smoking in a corner behind the camp. When Han Jung-taek tried to approach him, a bodyguard blocked his way.
“I have something to tell you.”
“It’s not possible.”
“It will take a while.”
Yu-san blew out a long cigarette and looked at him. Han Jung-taek looked at Mt. Lee with earnest eyes.
“send.”
“Yes. Senator.”
As the bodyguard stepped aside, Han Jung-taek knelt in front of Yu-san.
“Senator. I’m sorry.”
“what?”
“That… I think the party became like this because of me…”
“You know?”
Han Jung-taek bit his lip. It was only because he thought that Yu-san might comfort him. But Yusan Lee was too cold a person to do that.
“Zhongtaek, you ruined our party. If you stayed still, we would have won. Why did you do that?”
“·······.”
“Are you satisfied?”
“sorry.”
I had no choice but to bow my head in order to promise the next one. Internally, we know that Han Joong-taek and Yoo-san faced each other, but it hasn’t been revealed to the outside world yet.
If Yusan Lee forgave him, he might be able to run for the next presidential election.
‘I will lose soon in the general election. I must be forgiven before I completely lose.’
Lee Yu-san narrowed her eyes and looked at Han Jung-taek, who lowered her head. I didn’t like it, but it was still worth using.
He was not the kind of person who would be so emotional that he would bow down to enter because of a past resentment.
‘It’s still worth using.’
I couldn’t accept that easily.
“The wind is blowing. Only this one goes in.”
“Senator. If you give me one more chance…”
“This person. After seeing the results, shouldn’t we devise the next countermeasure?”
“Thank you.”
It was only to avoid the point by turning around, but it felt like an indulgence to Han Jung-taek. Lee Yu-san twisted her lips, but it was invisible to Han Jung-taek, who had his head down.
‘I’d have to block at least the majority.’
If it couldn’t be prevented, more resources would have to be spent. Yu-san’s state of mind became complicated.
***
The counting of votes for the general election continued. Both the first and the second were Seol Gyeong-taek’s people, but after that, a close match continued.
‘Even if it rots, it’s Junchi.’
If Dokgo-gap had joined hands with Han Joong-taek and not reduced Lee Yoo-san’s stamina, it was clear that Seol Kyung-taek would have been at a disadvantage.
It was such a strong enemy.
In the general election, the key was to get as many seats as possible. However, this did not mean that there were no important areas.
There was one area that Seol Gyeong-taek and Yu-san Lee worked particularly hard on, although the public did not know it.
[There is a really fierce battle in the Mapo-eul area.]
[47% and 46%. You can’t even predict who will win?]
[There are still 10% votes left.]
It was a sweaty moment.
I sent him to Radley Wood to analyze Mapo Eul, but a difficult opponent ran. He was a member of the National Assembly of the Mapo-gap district with three terms of experience.
The support base was solid enough to successfully serve a second term, and rumors spread quite a bit as it was a nearby area.
‘It’s not like Seol Gyeong-taek gave up, but…’
Special effort was put into Mapo-eul. Rep. Seol Gyeong-taek’s camp also ran for a member of the National Assembly who ran for a third term in Yongsan-eul. He also had a good reputation, but as the area was a little far away, his awareness was low.
‘I hope I win.’
It was necessary to capture the people Yusan left behind and tie him up. Seol Gyeong-taek would do it better than me, but it would give him a small advantage in the presidential election.
[Isn’t the number of seats really similar now?]
[The 1st party secured 99 seats, and the 2nd party secured 110 seats.]
[This time, the breakthrough of the 2nd party stands out.]
[I wonder if the approval rating of Congressman Seol Gyeong-taek, the party’s representative, has had an impact.]
Swans row their feet hard to stay afloat. It was the same with Seol Kyung-taek. In order to win power, I met and went to a lot of people.
[The next winner has arrived.]
[The Mapo-eul area has finally been decided.]
I straightened my posture and focused on the screen.
[Mapo E. Candidate Seong-Sik Kim. Congratulations.]
“nice!”
He clenched his fists and jumped up from his seat. The candidate pushed by Seol Gyeong-taek won by a narrow margin of 0.5%.
“Oh, I’m surprised.”
My mother was startled by the loud screaming.
“sorry.”
“Does anyone know?”
Mother asked, sweeping her chest.
“No. But you’ll find out soon. Representative Seol Gyeong-taek will introduce you.”
“Do you even know Congressman Seol Gyeong-taek?”
“sure.”
“Oh, my son has succeeded.”
My mother patted my arm with a satisfied smile. My father narrowed his brow.
“Jaegu. What are you doing outside?”
“I’m doing business.”
“Aren’t you doing something dangerous?”
“Attracting Dunesney Land, investing in real estate, etc. I am doing something like that.”
“Where does the money come from to do such a thing?”
If you don’t know stock cheats, you should be worried. And I don’t think you would understand what I was saying. I’m glad I didn’t hear someone say I’m mentally ill.
Strange letters and numbers pop up in front of your eyes, but does it make sense that you can make money by investing as it is? I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t experienced it myself.
“There’s someone pushing me.”
“What kind of person are you?”
“Are you trustworthy?”
“Yes. He is a very trustworthy person. He is much more trustworthy than Representative Seol Gyeong-taek.”
Grandpa was my back.
“Can I meet him?”
“Not yet.”
What a big deal to hear that you are going to meet someone in the underworld.
“If he’s interested in meeting you, he’ll come and find you.”
Isn’t there a law that says my grandfather only appears in my dreams?
“Are you very tall?”
“yes.”
After this election, the pear orchard was also scheduled to be planted. Alec Carver had also been scheduled to come to Korea, so there was an expectation that Elisa would come too.
‘Maybe he’ll come by private plane.’
Of course, the Carver Group would also have a private plane.
‘I hope Grandpa likes orchards.’
If he was a man-loving grandfather, he might be happy to see young people working hard. He said that the village reconstruction plan won by Taesan Construction is now in its final stages.
My hips trembled at the thought of going to see how my hometown had changed.
“This time, the second party will win.”
Suddenly, the ballot counting broadcast came to an end.
“Seol Gyeong-taek is better than Yoo-san. Cancer.”
My father took Seol Kyung-taek’s side, probably because I told him that I was acquainted with Seol Kyung-taek.
[The counting is finally over. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people who participated in the vote.]
[thank you.]
[Then shall we check the final score?]
120 seats per 1st constituency seat. 2nd party 132 seats. And it won only eight seats in other parties and independents.
The proportional representation was the same. 14 seats in the 1st party. 17 seats in the 2nd party. And it won only nine seats in the other parties.
134 seats for the 1st party. 2nd party 149 seats.
