Chapter 368
Chapter 368
The National Assembly is a legislative body, and the laws proposed by the National Assembly directly affect business activities. As in the past, direct bribery has largely disappeared, but the method has changed, but politicians still give preferential treatment to companies and collect rewards.
Asking for a job for their children, or receiving a large amount of salaries after their tenure as an outside director or advisory member of a company.
If all these issues were to be denounced and accusations were made, where would any politician be in good health?
When it became known that Kang Jin-hoo was robbing the New Politics Party, many lawmakers could not hide their embarrassment.
Immediately, a meeting was held at the party’s headquarters. Cigarette smoke filled the small meeting room.
The expressions on the faces of the members of the assembly who had gathered there were hardened. Everyone had the same thoughts in their minds.
‘What the hell are we doing wrong?’
It was one member, Jinwook Myung, who made the mistake, but the entire party suffered damage.
This is not the first time Kang Jin-hoo has faced a politician from the New Political Party. There was even an open discussion with Seoul Mayor Won Sang-hoon over the dormitory construction issue.
But it was completely different from back then.
Mayor Won Sang-hoon only suffered a blow to his image, and there were no major problems either morally or legally. However, Kang Jin-hoo is trying to uncover the corruption of Rep. Myung Jin-wook.
In addition, while Mayor Won Sang-hoon belongs to the minority, Rep. Myung Jin-wook is a key figure in the party, to the extent that he is counted as a pro-Heo chairperson. The prevailing interpretation is that the reason for not running for the party leader or not holding a key position is to prepare for the next presidential election.
Naturally, the weight of the two politicians is inevitably different.
If you look at the total number, there are more non-mainstream groups than mainstream, but the mainstream pro-Heo group dominates the party power and important positions. If Rep. Myung Jin-Wook loses or steps down, the influence of the pro-Heo group within the party will be greatly weakened. Therefore, the sense of crisis felt by the leadership of the New Political Party was also different.
Public opinion was divided between those that Kang Jin-hoo should be punished and that Rep. Myung Jin-wook should apologize.
Fortunately, from the perspective of the New Political Party, the voice of criticism against Kang Jin-hoo was louder. It’s only natural that he said he would rob prominent politicians and their families by using illegal means.
The media pointed out moral issues, and civic groups held a protest in front of the OTK Company headquarters.
The problem is that Rep. Myung Jin-wook should care about public opinion, but Kang Jin-hoo doesn’t have to.
In a fight like this, the one who has a lot to lose is inevitably at a disadvantage.
Floor leader Jang Hyun-joon remembered the first time he met Jin-hoo Kang. At that time, he even asked for a special request, but after the earthquake, he turned the hearing room upside down and went back to reveal the corruption of the hearing members regardless of the opposition.
Even though she was like that, she got to work again, so at this point she has nothing to say even if she is criticized for not having the ability to learn.
People sometimes see politicians saying or doing nonsense.
When I was questioned about the fact that I was speculating on the land, I didn’t make excuses for buying the land because I loved nature so much. I went to study abroad and assaulted the guide to take me to a karaoke room with a waitress. Doesn’t he claim that he just accidentally touched the back of the head, or that people in front of reporters say he’s a pig?
This happens because the viewing position is different. The higher a person is, the more he thinks he can control everything.
In the eyes of the public, why would they want to go there, but politicians really think that it will make sense.
That’s the case with this one as well.
Floor leader Jang Hyeon-jun sighed with cigarette smoke.
‘To cover up the controversy over nuclear denuclearization, you’re shooting Jin-hoo Kang’s mother.’
Anyway, as the incident had already occurred, someone had to step in and fix it.
Floor Leader Jang Hyun-joon said while smoking a cigarette.
“I will meet Kang Jin-hoo first.”
* * *
Floor Representative Jang Hyun-joon visited the OTK Company headquarters in person. In front of the building, New Politics Party supporters and civic groups were gathering and protesting.
“Stop inspecting politicians!”
“Let’s protect Rep. Myung Jin-wook!”
“Apologize after Kang Jin-hoo!”
Reporters were encamped around the area to cover the story.
It is by no means easy for busy people to gather like this without doing their own thing. Just by looking at the uproar at the press conference, it was easy to see just how great Kang Jin-hoo’s influence was.
His car went straight into the underground parking lot out of sight. She was worried that she might not meet, but luckily, Jin-hoo Kang came down to her meeting room.
Floor Representative Jang Hyun-joon greeted him warmly.
“Nice to meet you, CEO Kang Jin-hoo.”
“Good morning.”
“Haha, how have you been?”
“Yes. Long time no see. Why did you come here?”
After welcoming greetings, the floor leader Jang Hyeon-jun hesitated and brought up his story.
“I heard that you are in contact with companies related to the New Political Party.”
Kang Jin-hu nodded her head without denying or turning away.
“Have the rumors spread already?”
“Isn’t that a bit excessive?”
“I want to make a clean country without political and economic collusion, but where is it?”
“Is there any reason you are doing this?”
“Because Rep. Myung Jin-wook is in the New Political Party, you have to take responsibility for it.”
“No, this isn’t some kind of sit-in system… … Isn’t it too harsh to assume solidarity responsibility for the same party?”
Jinhoo Kang tilted his head at his protest.
“It’s strange. But why did my mother take joint responsibility just because she was in the same golf club?”
“… … .”
Jinhoo Kang continued to speak.
“And if Rep. Myung Jin-wook wasn’t a member of the New Political Party, would he have been able to do that?”
Recently, the ruling party was in a difficult situation because of the Gang Jin-hoo, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction with it. Therefore, it is true that many lawmakers agreed with it rather than stopped it.
However, I never imagined that I would ask for solidarity responsibility in this way.
“Didn’t the old saying not to tell us not to live in the same heaven as our parents’ enemies? She wouldn’t know if my mother had done something wrong, she didn’t do anything wrong, but she was criticized in the political arena, and she was shunned by the media. Wouldn’t it be futile to keep watching something like that?”
CEO Jang Hyun-joon did his best to persuade him.
“I fully understand that CEO Kang Jin-hoo was very angry from the position of taking care of my elderly mother. We will solve it somehow, so please give me a little time. As you know, what you said at the press conference is highly illegal.”
In fact, when you think about it, it’s pretty absurd.
There have been countless instances where politicians have inspected civilians so far. However, it is unprecedented for a civilian to inspect a politician, even publicly.
Jinhoo Kang smiled.
“If I was going to step back and do it in moderation, I wouldn’t even start in the first place. If there’s a problem with my actions, I’m willing to be punished. Of course, before that, we must see the end with Rep. Myung Jin-wook. That way, no one will ever think of touching the people around me again. If you don’t like sparks, just stay out of the way.”
Her mouth was smiling, but her eyes were cold.
Seeing that expression, floor leader Jang Hyun-joon did not say anything. There is no room for compromise, so there is no point in convincing any more.
In the end, he turned to his feet empty-handed.

The more money you have, the more enemies you have.
The chaebols are also well aware of this fact, so they build friendships with the media and politicians, and control them in various ways.
In the spirit of breastfeeding a crying child, they give advertisements to the media, donate money to politicians, or invest in constituencies.
But that’s not my style.
Taehyung nodded his head.
“Well then. Giving milk to a crying baby will only make your habit worse.”
Rep. Myung Jin-wook himself is a former lawyer, and his wife is currently a professor at a music school. His children are one son and one daughter.
Her daughter is studying in the US majoring in violin and her son is currently serving in the military.
Sangyeop said while looking at her related materials.
“It is generally clean. There’s nothing big enough to take.”
“If there was a big problem, I would have been robbed of the previous government.”
It looks like there is no big problem, but… … .
“If you brush hard, nothing will come out, right?”
After the press conference, reports came from all over the place. Most of them had a lot of useless content and jokes, but there were some useful ones.
Among the e-mails from Boston, there was a message that Rep. Jin-wook Myung’s daughter Na-hee Myung drives a Porsche 911.
Senior Sangyeop asked.
“What’s wrong with driving a Porsche?”
“It’s not wrong. Still, if her daughter goes to the United States to study abroad and drives her expensive foreign car, wouldn’t it be bad for the public to see her?”
Taek-gyu nodded at my words.
“Well then. In a world where being in the same golf club is a problem, betting on anything is a problem.”
Senior Sangyeop asked.
“Isn’t the report 100% true? What if something is wrong?”
I laughed bitterly.
“Anyway, it’s a suspicion or not.”
Taek-gyu continued to nod his head next to him.
“Well then. Politicians also talk nonsense every day and then cast ‘Otherwise’, there’s nothing we can’t do.”
A report cannot be established with words alone, and there must be evidence, but once the facts are confirmed to a certain extent, the report fee will be paid immediately.
As soon as we paid the reporting fee for minor reports, the effect was immediately apparent.
-Wow! My friend reported it and got 5 million won!
– Wasn’t it 10 million won?
– Families are half price. Even if it’s not a big deal, I’ll give you a tip! Really give it!
-He went to the same high school as Rep. Jinwook Myung’s daughter When we were in high school, we cheated together and cheated, can I report this?
– I am an employee of the community center. A person named Jin-wook Myung’s mother came and said her son was a member of the National Assembly, and the public interest begged to do this and that and that.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
– Please report it immediately. If you get it, isn’t it money anyway?
-I am the son of Rep. Myung Jin-wook. I want to get rid of everything I’ve been through, but the rest of my military life won’t be messed up, right?
– My older brother advises, you should stab yourself before another successor does. The first person to receive a tip is the winner!
– Is there anything that can arrest Rep. Myung Jin-wook? If it’s 100 million won, that’s great.
– These days, it’s only 1 billion won to win the lottery. If you have 10 billion, your life will bloom in one shot.
-Who pays the tax when the information fee is received? Will Kang Jin-hoo pay the tax instead?
– Report it as other income.
* * *
Rumors were spreading that they had received a tip-off fee, and reports flooded into the OTK Company. And the OTK Company immediately announced the payment of the reporting fee for the purpose of preventing duplicate reports.
My son smoked in high school, swearing and giving orders to his military successor, going to clubs often, booking with women, and enjoying a luxurious life in America. He received special privileges when entering a music college, forged as if he was doing volunteer work that he did not do, and submitted it as a study abroad document, etc.
When reporters rushed in and asked about the facts, Rep. Myung Jin-wook said nervously.
“What’s wrong with my daughter going to study abroad and driving a Porsche?”
Then the reporter asked the question again.
“But did you not take issue with the fact that CEO Kang Jin-hoo’s mother is at the same golf club as Kim Se-yeon?”
“what?”
“Did you do it because you thought it was a problem?”
“… … I will not answer any further.”
Rep. Myung Jin-wook posted on the Face Note, appealing for public support.
[This is clearly a political temple, repression, and killing outdated progressive parties! This is an act of complete disregard for the state and its people, and it is absolutely impossible in a country where the rule of law exists!]People’s reactions were mixed.
-It is absurd to bully a ruling party politician in this way!
– Arrest immediately after the earthquake and stop suppressing her progressive party!
– Haha, you like to kill the progressive party.
-You’re a pro-North Korean leftist after Kang Jin-ho, what are you talking about?
– These bastards haven’t been hit yet. If you have a conscience, think about what the Liberal People’s Party has been through!
-right. Wasn’t the conservative party too far to kill the progressive party?
– Your Excellency is in the cell now, you bastards!!!
– Release the most honest President Park Si-hyeong ever!
Various civic groups and supporters of the New Politics Party filed charges against Kang Jin-hoo with the prosecution on charges of special intimidation, obstruction of business, defamation, and invasion of privacy.
As the allegations are clear and serious, the prosecution immediately issued a request for attendance to Kang Jin-hoo.
