Episode 141 Chicken Coop (5)

Captain Kang’s office.

I was watching the news with my fists clenched.

Seeing that, Captain Kang brought me a glass of warm water.

“They say the prosecution investigation will end soon. “We heard about it through the prosecutors on our line.”

“The problem is that such a humiliating scene was aired on TV. Of course, the prosecution investigation is bound to end quickly. “It’s a company with a debt ratio of 0%, so how can it benefit from accounting fraud?”

The news was reporting a scene where the grandfather was being interrogated by the prosecution.

Usually, the chairman of a large company stands in front of the photo line in a wheelchair, but my grandfather walked with a confident look.

He also held a small press conference in front of reporters.

[There are many cases where practices that were not problematic in the past are now problematic. Taewo Group is taking the lead in eliminating wrong practices. I think it is harsh to raise issues from the past by today’s standards, but I will sincerely respond and provide an explanation.]

Reporters from media outlets close to competitors also asked mischievous questions.

Wasn’t there intentional accounting fraud to raise the stock price?

Isn’t the reason Taewo Group ranked first in the business world because of accounting fraud?

Questions such as these poured out, but my grandfather silently entered the prosecutor’s office without even frowning.

“Whew, I never wanted to see something like that again. How is Representative Yoon Hyeon-gil’s work progressing?”

“We succeeded in cutting off aide Joo Kang-tae, who was called his right-hand man. He has already been searched and seized by the prosecution and has proven many of the charges.”

“Well done. “We’ve seen bad times, so shouldn’t the other side also see bad times?”

“I feel like I want to put Rep. Yoon in.”

“We can’t throw it away now. “Only after all sides are strangling and then dealing with it will we find out what the cost of messing with the Taewo Group is.”

The power held by Yoon Hyeon-gil was being cut off one by one.

In particular, it started with the connections I had built while serving as a five-term member of the National Assembly.

“And lawyer Shin Young-seop has decided to run in Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil’s district in the next general election.”

“The moment a politician is shunned even by his/her constituency, his or her life as a politician is over.”

“Attorney Shin Young-seop has the reputation to be elected anywhere in the country.”

The reason Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil was able to be elected to a fifth term was simple.

This was because his constituency was so remote that no other politician ran for office.

This was also the reason why his popularity was low despite being a 5-term member of the National Assembly.

How can it become an issue when there is no real competition?

But things have changed now. Because lawyer Shin Young-seop, who has nationwide recognition, has decided to run for office.

“Release some of Representative Yoon Hyeon-gil’s sensitive information to the opposition party.”

“We will release information that will allow the party to distance itself from Representative Yoon Hyeon-gil.”

What if you lose your aide, lose your constituency, and even turn your back on the party?

It was only for a moment that Rep. Yoon, who considered himself a presidential candidate, lost confidence.

“And report all companies that have connections to Rep. Yoon.”

“We can sufficiently prove the charges using the materials sent from Russia.”

Rep. Yoon was a member of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and had connections with construction companies.

The reason the construction company wanted to become close to Rep. Yoon was ultimately to gain profit.

However, if an atmosphere was created that the closer you were to him, the more you would lose, the more you would immediately turn your back on him.

“Taewoo Construction will also cut ties with construction companies related to Rep. Yoon.”

“Still, what will you do if there is a construction company that does not sever ties with Rep. Yoon?”

“Then you’re playing a game of chicken with us. We unconditionally bid on the construction they are trying to win and steal the construction. “We will end up incurring losses, but small and medium-sized construction companies will be left reeling.”

In fact, I could have put an end to Rep. Yoon just by using the evidence I had in my hands.

But wouldn’t it be so much fun if it ended that easily?

I wanted to completely destroy him and then decide whether to enslave him or have him executed.

Rep. Yoon’s office.

It was a place full of over 10 aides and staff, but now only one new employee, who had been here for less than 6 months, was holding the position.

“Rep. Yoon, I received a call from Taesan Construction.”

“What did you say?”

“… … I swore. So I hung up.”

It was frustrating.

How can you hang up the phone because the person on the other end is swearing?

A seasoned aide would have somehow managed to lead the conversation with the other person and get at least one more thing out of it.

What do you expect from a new recruit?

I was just grateful that he was keeping his seat when all the seniors had left.

“You had a lot of trouble.”

“And the party also contacted me. “They tell me to withdraw from the party first before referring it to the ethics committee.”

“Did the party say that? “I made the party leader, and now they’re going to kick me out.”

Every election costs a lot of money.

The party representative election was the same, and Rep. Yoon made a member who could make him a presidential candidate the party representative.

Just last month, I received a phone call thanking me.

But now that it is no longer needed, the party tells me to leave on my own.

“Did anything else happen?”

“I will also leave. “I thought it was a place where people worked for the national interest because it was a National Assembly office, but I didn’t know that it was a place where they were criticized all day long.”

“Is there a place to get a job if I go out? “I can find out.”

“it’s okay. “This time, I passed the public recruitment for Taewoo Engineering & Construction.”

Can you introduce me to a better workplace than Taewoo Group?

After thinking about this for a moment, Rep. Yoon trembled.

Who would have thought that Taewoo Group was so vicious that they even took out their youngest employee.

If this continues, everything he has will be taken away by the Taewoo Group.

Let’s think about it politically.

In order to block the opponent’s attack, I must also attack.

How should we attack Taewo Group? Should we at least hold a press conference again?

“Then I will just leave the company.”

How do you attack?

They are in a situation where even the youngest employee has to leave because they can’t catch him.

It was Rep. Yoon whose will to attack was broken by the news of the last employee’s resignation.

A moment when you are in extreme loneliness.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door and entered.

“Senior, it’s been a while since I greeted you.”

“Isn’t it Rep. Kim Byung-tae! What happens without an appointment? “Come and sit down.”

Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil was happy to see me, as if I had found an oasis in the desert.

It was the appearance of a member of the National Assembly who was an alumnus of the university and had a very close relationship with him.

He thought everyone had abandoned him, but as expected, his school classmates had not abandoned him yet.

“Tea is fine. What are you going to do now? “Your story has already spread widely in Yeouido.”

“What are you talking about?”

“There is a rumor that you will be ruined if you are even pictured with your senior.”

“… … Could it be that you came here at the instigation of the Taewo Group?”

“Would I be so foolish as to do that? “The instructions came from above.”

The oasis was a mirage.

The junior at school was not on his side, but on the side of Taewoo Group.

“So what do you expect me to do from above?”

“It’s over. “Your senior made this sadal, so shouldn’t you take care of it yourself?”

“What more can I do here? “We have already stopped raising suspicions about the Taewo Group.”

“Will this problem be solved if we stop raising suspicions? “Chairman Kim Tae-joong should have stopped before he stood in front of the prosecution photo line.”

“So, are you saying I should go down on my knees in front of Chairman Kim and beg him?”

“That depends on your choice. Whether you kneel or commit seppuku, just get it over with quickly. “The party is also feeling a lot of pressure.”

Big business and politicians had a symbiotic relationship.

Regardless of the ruling party or the opposition party, help from companies was needed to secure election funds.

It was not that Rep. Yoon did not know that fact, and yet the reason he attacked the Taewo Group was to gain the upper hand.

How can a politician be attracted to a businessman?

So, the plan was to gain the upper hand and use the entrepreneur as an ATM.

A relationship that shows condescension by handing over a few bills as a fee.

However, Taewo Group did not want that kind of relationship, and even the lawmakers who shared the same view turned their backs on it.

“Could it be that the Taewo Group threatened to cut off political funding? “How can a politician be dragged around by a mere corporation!”

“You’re talking about big trouble. Is this the time of the military regime? No longer do corporations give money to politicians without reason. “There has to be a symbiotic relationship with each other. Should we use it only by unilaterally requesting it?”

“Now you are teaching me everything.”

“I won’t talk any longer. Restore your relationship with Taewoo Group. Only then will this problem be solved.”

bang! Rep. Kim Byeong-tae left, slamming the door behind him.

Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil felt even more lonely in an office where only his political enemies remained.

***

next day.

I met Congressman Yoon Hyeon-gil, and he knelt down as soon as he saw me.

“sorry. My wrong actions caused extreme damage to Taewo Group. “I have committed a mortal sin.”

“Then you should have died. Why are you still alive and bowing down to her?”

I poured out my true feelings.

The reason he was able to come out so strongly was because Captain Kang personally conducted a body search of Representative Yoon Hyeon-gil and confirmed that he did not possess any devices such as a recorder.

It didn’t end here.

Captain Kang installed new equipment imported from the United States near the restaurant, completely blocking the wiretapping itself.

“If you tell me to die, I will really die. If you can apologize even in death, there is no reason not to give up your life. “But I was holding on to my life because I was worried that my death might cause new problems for the Taewo Group.”

“It’s really difficult for you to say that you don’t want to die.”

“… … Please save me. I will live as a slave to Taewoo Group. “I will be a loyal dog that barks when asked and bites when asked.”

The situation I wanted has finally come true.

Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil volunteered to become a slave.

But there is still a long way to go. I was not naive enough to believe the words of a five-term congressman.

Only after dropping him into a deeper abyss could he be used as a dog or a slave.

“Even if we tried to use him as a dog, his past was too complicated. “You somehow haven’t gone to jail yet.”

Tuk! An envelope of documents was thrown in front of him.

It was information received from the United States, China, and Russia, and it was full of the false accusations of Representative Yoon Hyun-gil that no one, including the media, yet knows about.

“Uh, how can I do this?”

“It is not difficult to obtain this level of information. “Have you never heard the rumor that Taewo Group’s intelligence power is better than that of the National Intelligence Service?”

Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil was shaking like a frightened dog.

I guess I had no idea that I even had this kind of information.

“But did Taewoo Group really look easy? “You are thinking of attacking the Taewo Group just to raise awareness.”

“Please, I will take responsibility alone. Please save my family. please.”

The data also included information related to Rep. Yoon Hyeon-gil’s family.

In particular, it was his son who was exempt from military service and had a variety of accidents, including habitual assault and drunk driving.

bang! bang! bang!

Representative Yoon Hyun-gil begins to hit his head on the floor.

It was only after seeing his head broken and bleeding that I began to think about his use.
