Ha Yeon-ju you damn b*tch. How did i get here
Seoul Mayor Jang Mi-hwa’s face was stained with nervousness and anger as she sat in her office.
Korea’s second most elected position, mayor of Seoul.
It was a position that was considered the final tech even for a tolerable heavyweight. The speaker of the National Assembly is also the final tech, but the difference is that the mayor of Seoul can foresee the future.
All Seoul mayors in the direct direct system ranked first in public opinion polls for the presidential election, albeit briefly.
Being a real president is a completely different matter, but it’s an advantage anyway.
Of course, Jang Mi-hwa was also aiming for the presidency. It’s not just a target level, it was quite powerful until recently.
『Rose Flower Approval Rate Breaks Again… 22%, up 3% from the previous week』
『A wide range of activities by meeting with former and current members of the Liberal Party every day』
『Rose Flower Fan Club ‘Rose Garden’ Subscription Inquiry Explosive “Let’s Make a Rose Flower President”』
Approval ratings, people and money gathering rapidly.
Until recently, roses felt like living in a flower garden. Did he feel like he had virtually reserved the presidency?
It’s a delusion, but it couldn’t necessarily be called a delusion. Because the Peace Party was in a situation where it collapsed due to the aftereffects of Managate.
Jang Mi-hwa believed that the Peace Party regime would die slowly. Even though Na Hye-ri came to the mound as a reliever for the Peace Party, she wasn’t particularly nervous. After all, she was just a hereditary politician who met her parents well.
She said, ‘It was just one more step.’
But she was a bit careless as the stock price rose too steeply.
She ate Kwon Ye-sol’s money while fundraising for a big dream. A little bit much
No one will believe it, but at first, Rose Flower didn’t know that it was Kwon Ye-sol’s money. It was because Kwon Ye-sol put up a smoke screen to make it look like it was from an interest group.
Of course she didn’t use that as an excuse. Even after she found out that the money came from Kwon Ye-sol’s pocket, she didn’t spit it out.
To be honest, I didn’t even have time to spit it out.
It was because while communicating with Kwon Ye-sol and thinking about how to deal with it, a bastard named Lee Soo-ho caught Kwon Ye-sol. She tried her best by threatening Park Ha-sun to avoid responsibility, but even that went wrong and she was cornered.
And now, even an insignificant year has come forward to install it.
Proportional Representative Ha Yeon-joo. The b*tch who was branded as a troll by Liberal Party supporters dared to expose her private parts.
She didn’t have time to retaliate, but she didn’t have time to spend on Ha Yeon-joo at the moment. If Lee Soo-ho opens his mouth right now, Rose-Hwa will be cornered.
In the meantime, stepping on Ha Yeon-joo was an overextension of her wire. That’s why I can’t just leave it alone.
‘I’m going crazy, really. What should I do with this?’
Around the time when Rose-Hwa was shaking her hands because of her pressure. Her chief of staff visited her.
“Mayor.”
“Oh, yes.”
Jang Mi-hwa hurriedly managed her expression.
Even after Act 2 of Managate opened, she was still carrying out her schedule normally. It was because if she showed any signs of shrinking from the current situation, she would be suspected of being involved in the gate. She’ll hide until she can hide.
“No. Representative Ha Yeon-joo came to visit.”
“… ….”
Ha Yeon-joo came to visit.
How long have you been caught doing background checks? No, shame wasn’t the problem, I was more curious about what the purpose was.
However, if Ha Yeon-joo declines the interview, she may run to the broadcasting station right away. Even if it’s a bit sudden, we should meet her.
I just meant to be strictly vigilant.
Confiscated smartphone? That was a method, but there was no way to completely block the recording anyway. The fundamental countermeasure was to prevent Jang Mi-hwa herself from getting caught. It was best to test Ha Yeon-joo while being careful about her remarks.
Jang Mi-hwa hurriedly reviewed the information related to her so that she could deal flexibly with Ha Yeon-joo.
The documents Ha Yeon-joo submitted when applying for nomination for proportional representation, the negative defense reports written by the staff of the Liberal Party, and so on.
She was Jang Mi-hwa, who brought the Ha performance into her office only after she had finished her preparations to some extent.
“Rep. Ha Yeon-joo? She was taken aback by the sudden request for an interview with her. I’m sorry, but I can’t give you much time because I’m behind schedule because of the safety meeting during the rainy season. My body is bound by poetry… Can you understand?”
They even greeted me with a smile.
I’d like to start with a straight shot on Ha Yeon-joo’s face, but I can’t do that.
However, Ha Yeon-joo’s reaction was a bit questionable.
“… ….”
“Rep. Ha Yeon-joo? If you have any business, please tell me quickly.”
Ha Yeon-joo kept her mouth shut as to where the courage had gone without warning. Jang Mi-hwa, unable to even make eye contact with her, was whimpering.
It’s normal to feel intimidated because the proportional first election touched a player who should run as the signboard of the Liberal Party in the next presidential election, but… Carelessness was forbidden.
‘It could be acting.’
The fight continued for a while. Jang Mi-hwa urges her to tell her business with her pretentious smile, and Ha Yeon-joo hesitates while sighing from time to time.
Finally, as if Ha Yeon-joo had made up her mind, she opened her mouth.
“Mayor. You should know why I came here…. I want to do business with the mayor.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’ll just be honest. I didn’t go to the Torena Club to find out about the mayor’s corruption… Yes, really. But I also know that it would be useless to deny it now.”
“You are talking absurdly, Congressman Ha. Do you think there is something wrong?”
“There is no need to be wary, Mayor. I think we can help each other. You wouldn’t believe me if I just said I’d keep quiet, wouldn’t you?”
“There is no need to keep quiet. To be honest, I don’t even know what you’re trying to say.”
Jang Mi-hwa didn’t frown once and replied brazenly. The more Ha Yeon-joo’s face was stained with nervousness.
“If the mayor has no intention of making a deal, I will go to Rep. Lee Soo-ho of the Peace Party. I really don’t want to either.”
“… ….”
“Considering the popularity of Congressman Lee Soo-ho, he might be able to save me at least one. Of course, it won’t look good on me, but if I were to expose Mayor Jang Mi-hwa’s infidelity, wouldn’t he be happy?”
It was Ha Yeon-joo who said this while looking at the rose flower.
Thanks to this, Jang Mi-hwa’s face slightly brightened. It was because she realized that Ha Yeon-joo was really cornered by her.
From now on, you’ll just have to train it while calming it down.
Jang Mi-hwa postponed or canceled all of her schedules for today. She was there to cook for poor Cho-sun, who was trying to survive.

After all, you don’t give excuses easily.
It’s been an hour already. While listening to the conversation between Ha Yeon-joo and Mayor Jang Mi-hwa in real time, I muttered involuntarily.
Even now, Jang Mi-hwa was wary of Ha Yeon-joo. It wasn’t that she knew that I was behind her Ha Yeon-joo, it just seemed like she was paying attention.
– “Mayor. Again, I’m here to trade. Just withdraw the pressure to resign. I know the mayor has the power to do that.”
– “It’s kind of unpleasant to keep using the word trade. Did I get caught? I don’t know if it’s good intentions to help a young lawmaker who made a mistake.”
It seems that he did not just win the mayor of Seoul. If I had been this careful, I wouldn’t have accepted the money Kwon Ye-sol sprayed.
I never expected that I would destroy myself easily anyway.
‘There is no way that Ha Yeon-joo would immediately confess her crimes just because she stabbed her. This is normal.’
The conversation between the two was recorded.
Actually, recording was not an all-purpose tool. If Mayor Jang Mi-hwa wasn’t an asshole, she would be wary of everyone around her (including her entourage) by now. She couldn’t reveal her weakness just because Ha Yeon-joo poked at her.
Of course, I gave instructions to Ha Yeon-joo in preparation for this situation.
It will be a long-term battle, it won’t be easy to catch, so you just have to show your impatience.
Ha Yeon-joo was following these instructions exactly.
Cho-seon, who is on the verge of being expelled with humiliating videos circulating on YouTube, while being cornered, luckily catches the presidential candidate’s weakness and tries to make a deal while acting Cho-seon. Actually, I’m on the verge of resigning, so I can’t necessarily call it acting.
Did that effort pay off? Finally, the rose market also began to break down the boundaries little by little.
– “Rep. Ha Yeon-joo. I understand that you were driven mentally, but there is nothing to be gained by holding hands with Lee Soo-ho? Of course the human is holding something, but he can’t get to me. It’s just going to be noisy for a while and then fade away.”
By slowly coaxing Ha Yeon-joo, the rose painter indirectly revealed her suspicions. It wasn’t long enough for this, but it was getting closer.

And finally.
– “If there is really nothing to worry about, why did you pressure, no, pressure former CEO Park Ha-sun?”
– “Ah, Representative Ha Yeon-joo! Are people really mean? If you’ve said this much, you should be aware of it…. Didn’t I know it was Kwon Ye-sol’s money? I thought it was just given by the owners. After I figured it out, of course I tried to organize it. But then, of course.”
– “Congressman Lee Soo-ho caught Ye-sol Kwon.”
– “Did I know it would turn out like this? I didn’t know, really. And Park Ha-sun is the one who will go anyway, so there’s no such thing as a threat.”
It was Jang Mi-hwa, the mayor of Seoul who confessed to the charges herself. Ha Yeon-joo took 260 minutes (even had a meal in the middle), and it was an achievement that was achieved at the end of shaving away the barrier of the rose flower little by little.
Right after that, Ha Yeon-joo muttered, “Thank you for telling me.” It was also what I ordered to end the conversation as soon as I succeeded in collecting evidence.
‘It’s beyond my expectations. That’s enough.’
Ha Yeon-joo was a more useful resource than she thought. She follows orders well. It was a shame to use it once and throw it away.
– “You f*cking b*tch! You deceive people like this!”
– “Better than the mayor.”
We complied until the end of the recording.
Of course, Ha Yeon-joo’s treatment is to be decided later.
Now that we have secured enough materials and justifications, it was time to empty the Seoul Mayor’s office.
