I want to be a chaebol

On July 22, Park Minzhen got up early as usual and prepared breakfast for her husband.

Koreans eat more noodles in the morning, usually dry noodles. They usually add a poached egg to supplement the nutrition, and add some carrots and green vegetables. The soul of the dry noodles is the sauce and a small dish of kimchi.

Before going out, Park Minzhen took a look at her son's portrait and offered him a stick of incense. She muttered something in her mouth, "Taeyong, I'm going to vote for Representative Park Dong-ho today. If you heard what my mother said, please bless Representative Park for being elected mayor of Seoul!"

"Congressman Park and Congressman Song Woo-seok are both good people. In order to get justice for you, they helped poor people like us to litigate for free."

"The Xinyi Pet Shop is the last resort for parents in Seoul. Without a mayor who cares about us like Congressman Park, if the Dongdaemun Pet Market is demolished, our pet shop will have to move."

"Without these old customers, our pet store business would not be able to continue. My mother has also joined Congressman Song Woo-seok's support club. Everyone affectionately calls this support club the Love Song Club."

"Your father is still jealous about this and says that I seem to love Congressman Song Woo-seok more. Isn't that funny?"

"I heard that this damn guy Quan Zhanfa is contacting booksellers and preparing to publish a memoir of his. I don't think he will apologize to the victims of the Bulin Incident in the book. He will definitely do it in The memoirs distort and deny facts and may even attack you or the victims’ families.”

"I don't understand politics, and I don't know why President Zhong Xiaotong pardoned Quan Zhanfa. When I tried to reconcile with myself, he poured salt on our wounds from time to time and continued to live in a luxurious private residence and go to golf courses. .”

"I asked President Song Yi, a customer in our store, and he told me that it would cost about 400,000 won (approximately 2,400 yuan) to play a game at a golf course near Seoul. If you want to fly to Jeju Island to play, the cost will be even Up to millions of won."

"While Quan Zhanfa declared that he was bankrupt and had no way to compensate the families of the victims of the Burim incident, he was squandering money. If the fate of South Korea or Seoul is left in the hands of such people again, then what hope does this country have? ?”

"Congressman Park is a great person. He was previously considered to be the shadow of Congressman Song Woo-seok. But through this Seoul mayoral election, more people have realized the charm of Congressman Park."

"Congressman Park said that after he is elected mayor of Seoul, he will launch a long-term rental apartment plan. If you are still here, at least you don't have to worry about the house problem like me. Taeyong, mom is out."

Seeing that her husband was already awake, Park Minzhen reminded him to brush his teeth first, then eat breakfast, and then leave the house.

Before going to Dongdaemun Market, Park Min-jung went to the election polling station in Dongdaemun District to prepare to vote for Park Dong-ho.

Park Minzhen thought she had arrived early enough, but there were actually many voters who came earlier than her, and there was a long queue outside the polling station. Everyone was quiet, not talking or discussing with those around them who to vote for.

It was Park Min-jung's turn. She had voted for Song Woo-seok to run for Congress before and was already very familiar with this process.

The staff at the polling station first verified Park Minzhen's identity to confirm that she was a voter eligible to vote.

After verifying her personal identity, she got the voting paper. Three semi-enclosed vote-writing rooms were set up in the voting room, with a simple writing desk inside. She stood in front of the table and stamped Park Donghao's name.

After she writes her ballot, she needs to put it into the ballot box in the center of the voting booth by hand under the supervision and companionship of the staff, and then the entire voting process for the mayoral election is completed.

The voting day for the Seoul mayor's election is July 22, 2002, and the voting time is from 6 a.m. to 18 p.m. Seoul time.

According to election regulations, if voters in each constituency are unable to complete their voting on voting day, they can participate in absentee voting from 6:00 to 18:00 on the following 23rd and 24th. During the absentee voting period, voters can check the nearest polling station through the official website of the Seoul Election Commission and bring relevant ID documents to complete the vote without having to declare separately.

When Park Min Jung left the polling station, she felt much more relaxed. Voting for Park Dong Ho was her top priority these days. Because she was afraid that she would not be able to remember it when she got older, she even made a note on her calendar.

Park Minzhen entered Dongdaemun Market. The market was already bustling with activity, and many shops had begun loading and unloading goods.

She walked through the busiest clothing street in the market, then turned a corner and entered the pet street behind Dongdaemun Market.

Park Minzhen discovered that the Pet Street had also undergone a small change. A painted promotional billboard was placed at the entrance of the Pet Street.

There is a rendering of the renovated Pet Street on the billboard. The original one-story Pet Street has suddenly changed from one floor to two floors. The renovated store is spacious, bright, clean and tidy. There are no longer any messy cages at the entrance of the store, nor is there any chaos in the way.

Park Min-jung discovered the location of her Xinyi Pet Store on a billboard and found that the location of her new store was right next to the escalators on the first and second floors. The first thing customers see when they go up and downstairs is her store sign.

The advertising agency is the Seoul City Government, and the production company is Shinhan Media. Park Minzhen felt like she heard the name of this company somewhere, but she couldn't recall it for a while. As soon as she opened the store door, the cats and dogs in the store heard the noise. When they saw Park Minzhen, they immediately became active and barked one after another.

Park Minzhen first carefully checked the health status of each pet, then touched their little heads affectionately, then changed the water for the pets in the cages, and then started to clean up the store. Unlike other pet stores, Park Minzhen has always regarded the pet store as her home, and would not tolerate pet hair or scattered cat and dog food on the floor of the store.

She continued to think about it while mopping the floor, "Shinhan Media? Where did I hear the name of this company? I must have heard it recently. These billboards were set up by the city government. Do they mean Dongdaemun? The plan to relocate to the original site has been recognized by the city government and the developer, and has it been approved?”

Because of the documentary "Hello, I am Song Woo-seok", Park Min-jung has become a star shop owner in Pet Street. Everyone knows that she knows Congressman Song Woo-seok, the presidential candidate of the New Millennium Democratic Party.

At this time, the shop owner next door had come over to inquire about the information and asked if she knew when the billboard was set up. After all, it had not been set up when the stall was closed last night.

Park Minzhen shook her head. She didn't have any inside information. But she suddenly remembered where she had heard the name Shinhan Media.

Song Yi previously served as the executive director of Shinhan Media, and in the TV debate a few days ago, Lee Guangwang attacked Park Donghao, saying that Congressman Park's wife bought Shinhan Media's stocks.

The other shopkeepers couldn't find anything to ask, so they had to leave first. If the Pet Street in Dongdaemun Market is moved back to its original location, the location of the relocated stores will not change. However, the escalators between the first and second floors will directly affect the store's foot traffic and exposure.

The original Xinyi Pet Shop was located in the middle of Pet Street, and its location was not conspicuous. If you go by the renovation plan on the billboard, Xinyi Pet Store suddenly became a prime stall. Naturally, other shop owners suspected that Park Minzhen was gone, so they were jealous and came to inquire about the situation.

Although Park Minzhen and his wife have been running the pet street for many years, they are not locals in Seoul. Their son has died long ago and they are helpless in Seoul.

If it weren't for Park Minzhen's acquaintance with a big shot like Song Yuxi, the other shop owners would have joined forces to squeeze Park Minzhen out of the pet street, asking her to voluntarily give up the storefront she had moved back to and change to a small storefront in a corner.

After Park Minzhen cleaned up, she took turns letting the kittens and puppies in the cages walk on the ground. However, these furry children were well-trained and stayed in the store in a disciplined manner and did not run away.

While she was busy, she heard someone greeting her, "Good morning Aunt Park!"

She turned around and found Song Yi and Kim Tae Hee standing at the door of her store with smiling faces. Next to Kim Tae Hee was a beautiful woman wearing a royal blue dress.

Park Minzhen was pleasantly surprised, "Speak of Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrives, I was talking about you in the morning."

Kim Tae Hee also felt very cordial when seeing Park Min Jung, because Song Yi and Song Yi bought their first Maltese dog from Park Min Jung. She likes to be friends with people like Park Minzhen who are careless, and the atmosphere of chatting is relatively relaxed.

As Song Yi's identity and status improve, more and more interested people are ready to take the wife route and want to curry favor with Song Yi by getting to know Kim Tae Hee.

Kim Tae Hee originally thought that the students of Seoul National University were the proud ones and would not be so worldly. However, she did not expect that there was actually a senior from Seoul National University who majored in computer science. He found her through a teacher at the school and hoped that Kim Tae Hee could recommend him and let him enter. New Asia Network Jobs.

Later, when she inquired about it, she discovered that this senior had actually gone to New Asia Network for an interview, but was dismissed after entering the re-examination round. The examiner for the interview that day was not Song Yi, but Liu Yongjun, the technical director of New Asia Network.

Kim Tae Hee heard Song Yi evaluate the various executives of New Asia IT. Among all the executives, Liu Yongjun has the best technical strength, so Song Yi is inclined to hand over the new project of New Asia Network to Liu Yongjun to take the lead. Song Yi Take the final direction yourself.

Jin Taixi rarely asked about things in Song Yi's company, and she didn't want to act like a boss lady and make people laugh. No matter where you work, having an outsider lead an expert is a management disaster.

Even in the film, television and advertising fields that she is more familiar with, if she discovers any problems, she will communicate with her sister Jin Xiyuan as soon as possible, and Jin Xiyuan will take care of it, so that company employees will feel more comfortable when they are criticized.

Park Minzhen first asked about the situation of the puppy Black, and was relieved to hear that everything was fine. "I haven't seen Black for a long time. There probably isn't much left of the dog food you bought last time, Taixi."

Song Yi also introduced the beauty in a long skirt to Park Minzhen, "Aunt Park, this lady is Cui Shanji. She is the public relations director of our New Asia Media Real Estate Group. She is also the head of our New Asia Welfare Foundation."

"Now that the renovation plan for Dongdaemun Market's Pet Street has been approved, it's just waiting for your tenants to sign. Tenants who sign and agree can move back to the original location. For tenants who don't agree, the market will terminate their contracts and recruit new tenants."

"Xinya Construction is also the contractor of the Dongdaemun Market Pet Street renovation project. If it is not necessary, there is no need to find a new store."

"I believe you have also seen the renovation plan for the billboard at the entrance. After the renovation, the store will be longer and the store area will be larger than before. There will also be a deeper space in a store like yours."

"We, Xinya Construction, are going to make a documentary about the Cheonggyecheon renovation project. Behind your pet street is Cheonggyecheon, so we want to use your store as a pilot project for the renovation and record every detail of the changes in your store and Pet Street."

"Because to use your store, you need to appear in person. In order to make up for your losses, our New Asia Welfare Foundation is willing to sponsor the cost of decorating your store. What do you think?" Song Yi said to Park Minzhen.

Park Minzhen was shocked when she heard what Song Yi said. When she saw the billboard erected in Pet Street, she had already begun to prepare to raise the cost of decorating the store. When she was worried about the renovation costs, the New Asia Welfare Foundation was actually willing to sponsor the renovation costs of her store.

In line with the principle of no reward for no merit, Park Minzhen still rejected Song Yi's proposal, "This won't work. I know President Song that you want to help me, but I can't accept your help. Although I have reached retirement age now , but I have the hands and feet, and now I have a group of old customers like you who have been taking care of my business. I can still pay for the renovation by myself, and the New Asia Welfare Foundation can give the money to those who need help more. "

Cui Shanji looked at Park Minzhen, who was simply dressed and clean, feeling a little ashamed. In fact, the decoration cost of a store is not much, only 20 to 30 million won at most, which sometimes is not worth the cost of a meal for Song Yi to entertain distinguished guests.

She could also see Park Minzhen's excited eyes and knew that her financial situation was not rich, but she still had the guts to reject Song Yi's proposal.

Song Yi glanced at Cui Shanji, and Cui Shanji understood it and knew that she needed to persuade Park Minzhen.

"Aunt Park," Cui Shanji stepped forward, "We, Xinya Construction, are the only developer of the Dongdaemun Market Pet Street renovation and upgrade plan."

"In order to protect the interests of your original tenants, we, Xinya Construction, have resisted pressure and agreed to relocate all of you to the original location, just to protect the interests of your tenants as much as possible." Cui Shanji continued.

"Thank you very much, thank you very much." Cui Shanji said sincerely.

"Our president said that Aunt Park is a common friend of him and Tae Hee. They also hope to keep the Xinyi Pet Shop in Dongdaemun Pet Street and do business with integrity. Aunt Park who makes friends is the live in Dongdaemun Market Pet Street. Shop sign."

"The Cheonggyecheon Stream will undergo an overall renovation in the first half of next year at the latest. When we renovated and upgraded the Pet Street, we also reserved an entrance on the bank of the Cheonggyecheon River. Tourists can directly enter the Pet Street, bringing more passenger flow to Dongdaemun Market. and popularity.”

"To tell you the truth, we at Xinya Construction are also eyeing the Cheonggyecheon Renovation Project, a major project worth 600 to 700 billion won."

“The reason why our New Asia Welfare Foundation is willing to sponsor the renovation of your store is because we want to make the renovation process of the Pet Street a model project in the Cheonggyecheon renovation project, so that the citizens of Seoul City can clearly feel the changes after the Cheonggyecheon renovation project. .”

"Rather than taking up your store's valuable business time and your own image rights, I think we still make money by sponsoring the decoration costs of your store."

"Even if you are unwilling to accept sponsorship from our welfare foundation, we will choose other shop owners in Pet Street to sponsor. This is a mutually beneficial thing in itself. You and our president are good friends. Aren't you willing to help him? , let us New Asia Construction take over the Cheonggyecheon reconstruction project?" Cui Shanji said very sincerely.

Park Minzhen felt very embarrassed when she heard what Cui Shanji said, "Of course I am willing to help, but I really don't want to accept sponsorship from your welfare foundation. I always feel that I am taking advantage of you."

"Aunt Park, please don't say that. In fact, through the documentary "Hello, I am Song Woo-seok", many college students in Seoul have gotten to know you. I believe that many students come to Pet Street specifically to buy pets from you. ." Cui Shanji said.

Talking about this, Park Minzhen was very excited, "Although college students all want to buy pets, I don't do every business. If they buy pets and keep them at home, then I will agree to sell them to them. If If they are kept in schools, then I will definitely not sell them."

"In the past, some college students kept cats in their dormitories. After graduation, they found it troublesome, so they dumped the cats on campus and became stray cats. After being fed by people, the hunting ability of pet cats has degraded, and it cannot adapt at all. Such a contrast in life.”

"Their overflowing love when they were students turned out to be ruthless towards cats. If you can't be responsible for the cat's life, don't start feeding it. If you don't love it, don't hurt it."

"Every time I encounter an abandoned pet, I feel very sad. I will do my best to bring these pets back and help them choose a good owner. However, most abandoned pets become sensitive and timid, and have Being aggressive makes it difficult to adapt to a new family," Park Min-jung said.

Cui Shanji was a little moved, "Aunt Park, you are so right. It can be seen that you are really a very kind person. I know that kind-hearted people pay attention to doing good deeds without leaving any name, and don't expect retribution for kindness."

"But for those of us who are businesses, we must leave a name when we do good deeds. This is the only way for us to build our corporate brand and maintain our corporate image. Our president has the determination to lead Xinya to become a first-class company in South Korea and even a first-class company in the world. .”

"Compared with those arrogant and rigid real estate companies owned by large consortiums, I believe you are more willing to let us, New Asia Construction, take over the renovation project of Cheonggyecheon Stream. Because we, New Asia Construction, will protect the interests of residents along Cheonggyecheon Stream as much as possible. We will do a solid job in project construction, maintain quality and quantity, never cut corners, and give the people of Seoul a Qingxecheon Scenic Spot with crystal clear water, green trees, and picturesque scenery on both sides."

"So in order to help us, please accept the kindness of our president." Cui Shanji said to Park Minzhen.

For this reason, Park Minzhen was too embarrassed to refuse, "Thank you for your kindness. I know you are trying to help me in different ways. In fact, there are still many kind-hearted people in the society, and I also know many volunteers who are helping Seoul. Stray cats and dogs on the streets.”

"I saw the news that President Song is planning to transform Kowloon Village into long-term rental apartments, so that the residents of Kowloon Village can get out of the slums and live in spacious and bright new houses."

"Some companies do charity mainly for show and cannot help the poor, but President Song really helps ordinary people like us."

"I also support leaving a name for doing good deeds. If you do good deeds without leaving a name, it will be difficult for everyone to tell who is a good person and who is a bad person. Doing good deeds and leaving a name can also encourage more people to follow suit, promote social atmosphere, and make more people More and more people devote themselves to social welfare undertakings." Park Minzhen concluded.

"Aunt Park, you said it so well." Kim Tae Hee sighed sincerely.

When Park Minzhen saw Kim Taehee, her attitude became more kind and kind. She was concerned about the relationship progress between Song Yi and Kim Taehee like an elder.

"Taixi, I remember that you and President Song have been in love for almost two years. You have also met President Song's parents. When do you plan to get married? If the wedding is held in Seoul, please be sure to send me an invitation. I I will send you blessings and prepare wedding gifts in advance." Park Minzhen said happily.

"Thank you Aunt Park. You can just come over. There is no need to prepare special gifts. I will definitely inform you when I hold the wedding." Kim Tae Hee promised.

What Kim Tae Hee and Park Min Jung didn't expect was that Kim Tae Hee later attended Park Min Jung's funeral. Park Min Jung did not wait for Kim Tae Hee's wedding invitation until her death. Song Yi looked solemn at the funeral, but Kim Tae Hee cried so hard that she burst into tears. It rains.

Update in advance for the weekend, no more tonight, see you tomorrow.
