Episode 168 Drama (2)

Cheon Min-jeong was a person full of caution.

Except when I first appeared at the restaurant, he didn’t show any change in his emotions, and even after shaking hands, he quickly pulled his hand away and hid it under the table.

Untrimmed hair.

A face without makeup.

Eye area full of dark circles.

Although his appearance did not suit his 21-year-old age at all.

Considering the employees of Taewo IT, this was not an unfamiliar sight.

Because they were people who liked decorating the world inside their computer more than decorating themselves.

“Why did you suddenly ask to see me?”

“You applied to Taewoo IT. “It is not a requirement to pass the document, but I wanted to meet him because he has an excellent track record of awards.”

“So you’re going to hire me? ah! There must be a separate reason for seeing it. Are you trying to get me to do something illegal? If so, you’ve come to the right place. “I can do anything as long as the price is right.”

Should I call it a defense mechanism?

It was Cheon Min-jeong who was intentionally lowering her own value.

“I came here to formally hire you. “I want to recruit them through special recruitment, not through public recruitment.”

“How much salary do you get paid? I applied to Taewo IT because it said it had the highest salary in Korea. But if the salary is low, I don’t want to get a job.”

“We promise you the highest salary.”

“How much is that? Is it over 70 million won? “I’m earning that much now.”

“We will provide an annual salary of 100 million won and even welfare.”

“Welfare is okay, so please give it all in money.”

It was Cheon Min-jeong, who always brought up the topic of money.

I knew well why she was obsessed with money through detailed information and Captain Kang’s data.

My father worked at construction sites after his company went bankrupt.

And the mother suffered from mental shock and fell into lethargy.

And even my younger brother who is still in high school.

Cheon Min-jeong’s family had a lot of money to spend, and she was the actual head of the household.

“It also includes welfare that cannot be obtained with money. For example, defending someone from legally attacking Ms. Cheon Min-jeong out of spite is also part of welfare.”

“… … “You know that, right?”

“I don’t know the details, but all I know is that I am involved in some bad things with the son of the prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.”

“Is it okay to do a background investigation like this?”

“Because we can’t just let anyone into the fence called Taewoo Group. “As long as you come within the fence, I can promise that we will do everything in our power to protect you.”

“I can handle it on my own. An annual salary of 100 million won is not bad. I’ll think about it and get back to you. “Please give me a business card.”

I handed her a business card.

She took the business card and left the restaurant without eating.

Captain Kang, who was waiting at the entrance of the restaurant, saw that and approached me.

“Is it okay if I send it to you like that?

“You are a person with a thick heart. “If you step out hastily, you may end up getting ugly hairs.”

“Honestly, I don’t know why the CEO wants to recruit someone like that. “At 21, you are just a college student.”

“When I was in my early 20s, I also sat in the position of president of an affiliate of the Taewoo Group.”

“How can I compare to you, Mr. President?”

“I guess that’s true. “He is a much better person than me.”

“… … I didn’t know you valued it that highly. “We will double the number of security personnel.”

What can’t you do to get S-level talent?

If the walls in your heart were thick, you had to gain it even if it meant tearing it down little by little.

“Please investigate the prosecutor’s son who is harassing Cheon Min-jeong.”

“We will secure the data through our prosecution line. And we will monitor the prosecutor and his son 24 hours a day.”

“If you see signs of attacking Cheon Min-jeong, contact us immediately. “It is okay to file a report after the first action has been taken.”

“We will prioritize the safety of Cheon Min-jeong.”

Hoyoung Jeong.

He did his best to study to satisfy his father, a prosecutor.

I did everything I could to avoid losing the top spot in my school, and in the end, I was able to get into the best university in Korea.

However, I could not get into the department I wanted.

This was because the top spot in the school was lost to other students several times.

And by chance, we met again through a site that did college assignments for my friend.

Rotten bitch!

If you’re not going to go to college, why are you taking the top spot in the whole school?

Jung Ho-young exploded with built-up anger, and he planned to send Cheon Min-jeong, who had taken his first place, to the abyss.

“Why isn’t it happening yet? “The investigator told me to tell him anything if I have any difficulties first.”

“It’s all over now, so just wait a moment. The police investigation will begin within this week. If that happens, we can give you a minimum prison sentence.”

Hoyoung Jeong was talking with a prosecutor’s investigator.

Although he was a veteran prosecutor’s investigator who had worked for over 15 years, he was groveling in front of Jeong Ho-young.

That’s how powerful Jeong Ho-young’s father, Shin Jeong-soo, was.

Good academic background, good lines, and excellent investigative skills.

Since he was someone who would at least go to the prosecutor’s office with ease, I couldn’t pretend not to notice his son’s request.

“I didn’t ask for something that difficult. “Why does it take so long when it is so clear that a crime has been committed?”

“It takes time because we have to deal with the case so that no harm is done to Mr. Jeong. “Wouldn’t you be tired if you were investigated for something like this?”

“I need to ask you a favor. “If this thing goes well, I’ll tell my father.”

“Hmm, I didn’t really ask for that, but I would be grateful if you did.”

“Then please make sure to ask within this week.”

Hoyoung Jeong hit the shoulder of the prosecution investigator and ran out.

As soon as he confirmed that Jeong Ho-young was leaving with a smile, the prosecution investigator’s expression changed completely.

“Who does this young guy resemble so he is not so mean? Actually, who does it look like? “You must look like Abby Ji.”

I guess they are rich.

Shin Jung-soo and Jeong Ho-young looked exactly alike, from their appearance to their actions and even the way they spoke.

There were times when I would wake up from my sleep because of the humiliation I suffered next to a mental prisoner for 15 years.

But what can you do?

Since I had already ridden the line of being a spiritual beast, I had to listen to the words of a cheap guy.

“Did you say Cheon Min-jeong? This is truly unlucky. “No matter how you get caught, you’ll get caught by a guy like that.”

Shin Jung-soo was rumored to be harsh at the prosecution.

Since he was the son of such a spirit beast, I could tell how harsh he was even without looking at him.

***

A few days later.

I heard a very interesting story from Captain Kang.

“Vice Chairman, Jeong Ho-young was using the prosecution’s investigators to put pressure on Cheon Min-jeong.”

“So the prosecution investigator is following the words of a college student. “The world is going very well.”

“Jeong Ho-young’s father, Jeong Shin-soo, is part of a fairly strong line at the prosecution and has the power to even mobilize the police line.”

“So how did you handle it?”

Although it is illegal to make a graduation work for money.

Even so, a joint investigation, which is only possible in violent crime investigations, was underway.

“First of all, we are mobilizing our own lines to hinder the investigation. In particular, in the case of the police line, we received a lot of help from Commissioner Lee Gyeong-sik, who was recently transferred to the Seoul branch office.”

“It was worth sending it from Busan to Seoul.”

“Thanks to Commissioner Lee Gyeong-sik’s blocking, we were able to buy time, and in the meantime, we met with all the students who requested graduation works and silenced them.”

“How many people were there?”

“There were a little over 200 people. They said that if this fact became known, we could have our graduation canceled, so we all promised to keep quiet.”

As expected, Cheon Min-jeong was a person of great ability.

A whopping 200 graduation works were created.

Usually, to create a graduation piece, you would need to invest anywhere from 3 months to a year or more.

However, Cheon Min-jeong had outstanding ability to produce several graduation works at the same time.

“Although students promised to keep quiet, when the police or prosecutors put pressure on them, there are bound to be people who open their mouths.”

“That’s why I think I’ll have to make a final decision directly with Chief Prosecutor Shin Jung-soo.”

“As you know, things are often not resolved through just conversation. “First of all, you must realize how strong the enemy you are dealing with is before you can have a conversation on an equal footing.”

“Let me slightly touch on Chief Prosecutor Shin Shin-soo’s line. “I will create an incident that will make at least one deputy prosecutor take off his clothes.”

The chief prosecutor was a fairly high position.

Since it was a second-grade position among public officials, Chief Prosecutor Shin Shin-soo’s power could be said to be omnipotent over ordinary citizens.

But the heavenly world always exists.

There was bound to be another sky above the sky.

As long as I moved a person higher than Chief Prosecutor Shin Jung-soo, I was able to put enough pressure on him.

“If the deputy chief prosecutor takes off his clothes, please let him know that Director Jeong Shin-soo can take his place. Then you will bow your head on your own.”

“Are you planning on promoting Manager Shin Gyeong-su to Deputy Manager?”

“On the condition that you no longer touch Cheon Min-jeong. “The condition of sending Jeong Ho-young to study abroad would be sufficient.”

“… … “That’s how we will proceed.”

Captain Kang was about to say something but stopped.

He probably wanted to ask whether he should go to such lengths to recruit Cheon Min-jeong.

The answer to that question was YES.

If Cheon Min-jeong’s heart could live properly, she could have done even more.

***

A few days later.

The media began to make noise about the deputy chief prosecutor’s sexual scandal case.

Chief Prosecutor Jeong Shin-soo traveled around to cover up the case of his immediate senior.

I went alone to a small mountain cabin near Gyeonggi-do to meet a person who said he had crucial evidence.

“It’s a big mistake to create a project aimed at prosecutors.”

As soon as he met Captain Kang, Jung Shin-soo spoke in a strong tone.

There was absolutely no way that evidence of a sexual scandal would be shown at a mountain lodge like this.

It was clearly a work planned by someone, and he was convinced by the atmosphere coming from Captain Kang’s body.

“It’s not that I created something that didn’t exist, but I won’t deny that I didn’t plan it.”

“Why is this happening? “And I want to know why you called me.”

“I’m here to give you a good offer. “Deputy Prosecutor Shin Jung-soo.”

“Deputy prosecutor? Did they call me out without knowing my position? Very sloppy. … … no way?”

“If the deputy chief prosecutor takes off his clothes, who will take his place? “Wouldn’t your immediate junior, Prosecutor Jeong Shin-soo, take up that position?”

Prosecutor Jeongsungsu’s mind became confused.

I can’t believe you suddenly made this suggestion.

No matter how much I thought about it, I had absolutely no connection with the man in front of me.

“What are you? No, who is behind it!”

“You will find out little by little. “You just need to know that it is a golden copper rope that is much stronger and taller than the copper rope you are holding now.”

“How funny. If the Deputy Chief Prosecutor flies away, I can take that position? Do you think other factions will stay quiet?”

“You will be able to become Deputy Chief Prosecutor with the approval of more than half of the votes. “I didn’t say it was a golden rope for no reason.”

“If the opposing faction comes out in favor, will our side suspect me of being a traitor?”

“There will be a lot of positive votes from the neutral faction.

It was only then that the mental investigation prosecutor showed interest.

Wouldn’t it be worth catching a golden rope that sends the deputy chief prosecutor flying away with a single blow?
