It was an unexpected word, so I looked at him quietly.

Perhaps he felt that the explanation was not enough, he poured alcohol into my empty glass and continued his speech again.

“Of course, I have no doubts that Chairman Jin will keep his neutrality when he sees his actions. However, as I said earlier, Chairman Jin is currently the most influential person in this country. Wouldn't it be more strange if the political circles did not reach out to such President Jin? If you look at me right now, that's..."

“·················ogue.”

“Besides, the presidential election is only a year and a half away. As a result, the government is experiencing a lame duck phenomenon, and the ruling party is causing self-destruction as the ruling party does. In such a situation, the best option the ruling party will take is to attract Chairman Jin. So, I have no choice but to demand neutrality.”

That was something I hadn't expected.

Well, from the standpoint of the ruling party, which has no particular breakthrough, you might think of me as a way.

But can I respond to it?

Perhaps the reason I've been quiet until now is because there's something reluctant to attract me.

Either you know my inclination to be extremely reluctant to get involved in politics, or...

“This is a digression, but in fact, among politicians, Chairman Jin has a different meaning from other businessmen.”

At that time, Rep. Lee Joo-hwan spoke again.

“Do you mean something else?”

“To be honest, it’s untouchable.”

“·················ogue.”

“Are you sure you didn’t feel it at all?”

“Yes, honestly.”

“Well, it might be. Because he was so engrossed in his work, he hardly had any interaction with politicians. But the reality is. He has already reached a position where he cannot do anything with his clumsy power.”

“·················ogue.”

“Why, do you think I am exaggerating? So let me give you an example. Recently, in the political circles, the Financial Services Commission's poor management of the capital market has been a problem. But, ironically, no one was reluctant to comment on the investment company Jaewoo was managing.”

“Isn’t that because the management transparency of investment in Jaewoo is so high?”

I immediately countered.

For a moment, he smiled softly and offered another drink.

“That’s right, but did you see where members of the National Assembly don’t shed their clothes just because they are white? There is no company that does not come out of dust by wiping it off.”

“·················ogue.”

“But, as you can see, I don’t even think about touching only Jaewoo. I see it as a kind of unconscious self-defense phenomenon.”

“Is it unconscious self-defense?”

“Why are you like that? A phenomenon in which people instinctively avoid things or people that are not good to touch. No matter how much I win, I can’t even dare to argue, something like that.”

“·················ogue.”

“To be honest, I don't really understand the attitude of the lawmakers. Chairman Jin is a person who exerts enormous influence in the Arab world, as well as in the United States and Russia.”

"Hmm······."

“Besides, in a situation in which Chairman Jin directly witnessed the influence that President Jin has on the country through the recent economic war with Japan, what would be good for lawmakers who are busy taking care of themselves to touch such a person? No, I don’t know if I’m trying to look good somehow.”

“Huh, I don’t know where to put this.”

It was an honest feeling.

I was just running back and forth, so I didn't realize that I had become a person who was evaluated like that by others.

As he was about to brush his head in his shy mind, his words continued again.

“Anyway, for that reason, the ruling party will be contacting you soon, and then you will be asked to remain neutral. Only then will I be able to rise to the presidency.”

At first glance, it was a feeling of overconfidence.

He's talking as if he's won the next president's seat as long as I don't interfere.

But why does it feel more natural than arrogant?

Laugh out of absurdity.

“If that’s all you want in the end, don’t worry.”

He spoke softly and took a drink.

If it's not a request to push myself right away, I'm in a situation where I can shake off the burden, and there's no reason to reject it.

That's why I feel like drinking is sweet today.

“Did your trip to Russia go well?”

“Yes, there are some areas of concern, but for now.”

After that, we tried hard to change the subject.

But could it be that easy?

In the end, round and round, the dialogue is back to the politics and economy of this country. And it led to a discussion about diplomacy, and as the bottle became empty, even the wariness of avoiding things that might be sensitive to each other disappeared.

“Are you really confident of defeating the party leader?”

That was about Rep. Lee Yong-jae.

The representative of the current opposition party and the person who will rise to the seat of the next president according to the original history.

As if it was an unexpected question, a glimpse of embarrassment crossed Rep. Lee Joo-hwan's face.

“It’s long and short, you have to deal with it. But there is no reason not to win. Besides, that yangban is too self-interested..."

He picked up the words he had uttered and swallowed them.

No matter how quiet I am, I will refrain from criticizing my family in front of others.

Even if he didn't say it, I knew what he wanted to say.

He smiles and raises the glass, and he hints at pouring the drink.

“You know that? How much I envy the President all this time.”

"what······."

“That close cooperation between the government and Chairman Jin.”

“You are making a dangerous statement. It may be misunderstood by others that it is a political-business collusion.”

“There has to be something exchanged in order to have a close relationship. No, aside from that, how much money Jae-Wu has suffered for the sake of the nation so far, would you say something like that? To be honest, I now know everything that people need to know.”

In fact, it is true that the national issues that Jae-woo has been involved in recently are widely known to the public.

Unlike in the past, with the development of media, it is now a world where it is impossible to hide some things.

But where there are advantages, there are also disadvantages.

Thanks to this, it's a bit sad that we can't even properly serve even a single meal to our close military generals.

“Anyway, what I want to say is that I hope that such a relationship will continue with me. I am fully aware that for a country to stand fully, its national defense power must be strong, but unfortunately I am a geek in that field.”

“Isn’t that what you’re going to say after you first become president?”

I gently hit the bone.

Contrary to expectations, his expression did not change, and he speaks with a blank expression.

“That’s it. But there's nothing wrong with dreaming big, right? And if that doesn't work, I'd like to ask for a seat in the Jaewoo group. What."

Perhaps the last sentence was a joke.

To be honest, what is it that a lawmaker with a career like that is regretting asking for a seat in Jaewoo?

Nevertheless, the reason he dares to say that seems to be an indirect expression that he wants to continue the relationship with me, but strangely, it is not burdensome.

“It’s just the president.”

[The conflict between the government and the ruling party is intensifying. Rep. Lee Pil-yong, the leader of the party, criticized the government's dogmatic real estate policy this morning.]

July 2006.

The conflict between the government and the ruling party has reached its climax due to the skyrocketing house prices.

The government promised to prevent the rise in house prices by supplying 1.64 million homes to the metropolitan area in the future, but it was not enough to stop the already burning flames.

In the end, the people's resentment only increased, and the ruling party once again began to draw a line with the government.

“President Lee Pil-yong requested an interview.”

As Rep. Lee Joo-hwan predicted, the ruling party was preoccupied with attracting me to capture the growing disappointment of the people toward the ruling party.

In a word, the image of Jaewoo.

No, he is trying to re-create the government by bringing in the image of Jin Hyun-seung.

But without going crazy, which entrepreneur will sympathize with him?

I drew the line resolutely, and for that reason, I received a sharp warning from Rep. Lee Pil-yong at one time.

- By the way, being an entrepreneur, you have to be able to think about the future. What if we succeed the government?

Ttt, even if my thoughts are short, would it be that short?

In this country, it is a problem not only with the scumbags, but also with the members of the National Assembly.

“The helicopter is ready, Chairman.”

November 8, 2006.

Today was the day that Korea's first 3,000-ton submarine, the Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, finally conducted an SLBM maritime injection test.

The ground injection test that has already been conducted has received a passing score.

Thanks to this, the construction continued without any setbacks, and if the ejection at sea is successful, it will be possible to deliver it to the military soon.

“Did you feel any discomfort during your visit?”

Upon arrival at Jaewoo Shipbuilding, CEO Lee Yong-gi, CEO Kim Young-ki, and group vice president Jin Hyun-cheol were already seated.

where are they

Perhaps because of the importance of the matter, even the unexpected attendance of the president was decided, but fortunately, the president's helicopter had not arrived yet.

“Vice President. Let me see you for a moment.”

On the way to the VIP seat, something suddenly came to mind, so I summoned Hyun-cheol for a while.

As if he had already noticed what I was trying to say, he sighed and approached me.

“Brother. No, Chairman. I am still newlywed Just keep that in mind.”

Again, his gaze was not normal.

With an apologetic expression on his face, he secretly floated his luck.

“Don’t you know best that this Yamal project cannot be entrusted to anyone?”

“Still, I’m still newlywed.”

His expression, asserting that he was newly newlywed, was to the point of desperation.

He said again, putting his hand on his shoulder.

“Then how about going with your brother-in-law? Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to extend your honeymoon in Russia and enjoy it?”

“·················ogue.”

He didn't expect to receive such an offer.

After making an expression as if he had fallen into the chaos for a moment, he twisted his lips and said:

“Who do you think is a fool? Yumma, if it's a California beach, what's the point of enjoying your honeymoon in that cold neighborhood?"

Hyeon-cheol, who raised the tone of his voice, looked around and killed his voice again.

I feel like I'm not going to reject it just because it's a form that makes you sigh.

Unsurprisingly, he shook his head and spoke again.

“So, how many years do you have to stay?”

“Two years, please. As you know, in the gas field development project, the initial infrastructure construction process is the most important, but that does not mean that we cannot send the elderly Vice Chairman Yoon.”

“Are you going to send the man away and do a portrait?”

“That’s what I mean. So, it seems that it will not be easy to deal with the variables that may arise if we send one of the representatives of the affiliates, and in the end, there is only hyung.”

“It’s okay to go, so what about Jaewoo’s energy?”

“I will take charge of the all-solid-state battery business from now on. After all, now is the time to start linking with Tesla.”

Hyuncheol nodded his head with a happy expression on his face.

He frowned at what else was at stake, and soon referred to Chairman Jin.

“I am worried about my father. Two years without me should have been nothing.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

As a Yonsei who is already looking at the 90s, it is natural to be worried.

However, there is at least 7 more years left before his name is fulfilled.

Of course, since the timeline of history is so jumbled up, I can't say for sure any more, but considering my current health, it's not a problem to worry about too much. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“If there is any problem, I will contact you immediately.”

“Yeah, how can things be like that? Okay, so call your brother-in-law once... Huh? Have you seen the President come?”

Hyun-cheol, who continued to speak, pointed to the air.

Doo doo doo!

At the same time, the presidential helicopter is approaching.

We immediately made our way to the apron, and the president, who had just got off the helicopter, smiled and reached out to us.

“I thought it might be the last event I attended during my tenure, so I went to see it myself.”

Come to think of it, he wasn't wrong either.

There are no projects that will be deployed or tested during his term in the future.

Instead of answering with an awkward smile, he pats me on the back and spit out words that don't fit the situation.

“Have you met Rep. Lee Joo-hwan?”

“·················ogue.”

"Ah! do not misunderstand. It doesn't mean that Chairman Jin is going to say that he met him. I was just wondering what kind of person he was in the eyes of Chairman Jin.”

The expression on his face as he spoke was grim.

Like Ahn's testimony, it seems that he is already prepared for the regime to take over.

In fact, no matter how much more than a year is left, it is difficult to turn his situation around.

Right now, the ruling party leader is openly sniping the president and the government.

‘If you look at it that way, you are saying that it is quite surprising to see CEO Lee Pil-yong. Why is the person who ultimately tried to protect the president rather than confrontation with the president in the original history, as he is now, is a completely different person?’

It's really hard to look ahead one inch now.

“He asked me to stay neutral.”

“·················ogue.”

The president looked at me with those words.

The innumerable meanings are felt in the laughter that is soon built up.

regret. regret. and resentment towards reality.

“It’s unfortunate. The fact that such a person belongs to the opposition party, not the ruling party.”

Again, he complained about the reality.

However, perhaps he felt that it was not the subject of a conversation to continue at the same place today, and he immediately revealed his expression and chinked at Ahn Chang-ho, who was waiting on the other side.

"let's go. On a day like today, when another history is being written, you can't spoil the mood with political stories at best."

“·················ogue.”
