Chapter 115 Accidents one after another
Upper class, this word is almost a derogatory word in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of others, it is an extremely desirable identity.

To be honest, before meeting Min Hyun-soo, An Rusong did not have a clear understanding of the so-called upper class. In his eyes, people like Liu Taihe and Shen Taian were already people he could not afford to offend. As for people like Councillor Kong, even though he was planning to take advantage of them, he also lacked a clear enough understanding of people like them.

In the final analysis, An Rusong is an ambitious person. As a reborn person, he has enough confidence to climb to new heights that were unimaginable in his previous life in his new life. If you look at him from a long-term perspective, then Liu Taihe and Shen Taian will probably not be taken seriously by him in a few years.

Even today's high-ranking Councillor Kong's position may not necessarily satisfy An Rushong's appetite.

But then again, An Rushong is just starting out now, and his career is still in its infancy. If it weren't for the accidental video he threw out before, helping Councillor Kong out of trouble, he wouldn't even have a chance to be remembered by others.

Therefore, An Rusong still needs time to develop, and he himself is aware of this.

Nan Xuyu, that fat guy, told him in a contemptuous tone that he should go find Min Hyun-soo and learn how to dress himself so that he would be qualified to attend high society gatherings.

It must be unpleasant to be despised, but An Rusong didn't mind, because he knew that he would have to come into contact with these things sooner or later. It was better to be despised by a fat guy now than to be despised by more people in the future.

Min Hyun-soo's circle theory does make people feel uncomfortable, but An Rushong, who has lived two lives, is no longer naive, and he knows that what he said is the truth.

This world has rules, and the rules are always made by those in power. The only people who can truly ignore the rules are those who make the rules. How to dress is also one of the rules.

Just like an ordinary employee in a company, he can tell everyone that he doesn't care what others think of him, but can he go to work in big shorts and flip-flops? If he does that, even if he is not fired, he will inevitably be reprimanded.

But what if the company's CEO wears shorts and flip-flops to work? He will be praised by the company's employees: Look, how approachable the CEO is.

Min Xianxiu was right. What An Rusong needed now was to integrate into the circles of the powerful. If he did not follow their rules, he would be excluded. Of course, there was nothing wrong with him wanting to express his personality, but he had to wait until those powerful circles needed him before he could speak.

As late October approached, the atmosphere of the domestic election campaign in South Korea began to become increasingly intense.

In the news media, the Chosun Ilbo publishes an editorial almost every two days, seizing on the fact that South Korea's annual GDP growth rate has not been able to break 5% during the past few years of President Roh's administration, strongly criticizing the progressives for their incompetence in economic development, and warning all voters that if they continue to support the progressive candidate Chung, South Korea's economy will also face a "lost decade."

As a result, the Chosun Ilbo's use of the term "lost decade" drew the dissatisfaction of the Japanese ambassador to South Korea, and the two sides engaged in a war of words on the Internet.

The Hankook Ilbo, on the other hand, seized on the political concept that "conservatives are anti-democracy, anti-reunification of the peninsula, anti-Korean, and pro-Japanese and pro-American," and launched various accusations and even abuses against the conservative political forces led by the Grand National Party. They were just short of putting the hat of "traitors to Korea" on the heads of the conservatives.

But to be realistic, President Roh did not do a good job in economic development during the past few years in office, and the slowdown in economic growth has made any excuses he gave pale.

Of course, as a reborn person, An Rusong knew very well that during the few years when President Roh was in office, the South Korean economy's annual growth rate of 5% was already the best performance in the next nearly 20 years.

The Eastern giant across the sea from South Korea has too many overlapping economic structures with South Korea. The rapid rise of the Eastern giant is gradually eroding the living space of South Korea's manufacturing industry. This is the most direct reason for the slowdown in South Korea's economic growth.

Of course, this fact has not been noticed in South Korea today. Perhaps some people have noticed it, but are still pretending to be ignorant.

In short, affected by the economic performance, the election prospects of the progressives are not optimistic, but the situation on the conservative side is not much better. After all, within the Grand National Party, the side headed by the eldest daughter and the side headed by Lee Min-bo are still fighting endlessly. Before the final result comes out, it will be difficult for the power held by the Grand National Party to unite as one.

Just as we entered the last week of October, a sensational piece of news was first reported by the Chosun Ilbo. Once the news was exposed, the entire Korean political arena and even the business community were shocked.

This news report involves a man named Kim Young-chul. He is a lawyer and the former head of the Samsung Group's legal affairs team. According to Kim Young-chul's disclosure, starting ten years ago, according to the instructions of the chairman of the Samsung Group, the executives of the group's 58 subsidiaries all opened bribery accounts in their personal names to bribe prosecutors, judges and other government officials in the Republic of Korea. Over a period of ten years, the bribe funds that flowed out of these accounts amounted to no less than 2000 billion won.

In this interview report, Kim Young-chul even revealed to reporters the ways in which Samsung Group bribes, such as giving red wine to officials who like to drink red wine, and giving hotel coupons and shopping vouchers to officials who dare not accept money openly, and so on.

Kim Young-chul even clearly stated in the interview that he had a list of officials who had accepted bribes, and said that he was also an accomplice in the bribery case. He hoped that the prosecutor's office would quickly launch an investigation into him and the Samsung Group.

This piece of news was so explosive that it immediately drew all attention in South Korea away from the election. In an instant, no one even watched the quarrel between the eldest daughter and Lee Min-bo.

As for An Rushong, he was too lazy to pay attention to scandals like this.

Isn't it? Is it strange that Samsung bribed Korean officials? Besides, is that bribery? It's called bonus. Isn't that right? Samsung is not South Korea's, but South Korea is Samsung's. In other words, more than half of South Koreans are working for Samsung, especially those civil servants.

At the gate of Korea Senior High School in Anyan District, An Rushong watched Rubin's figure disappear into the school gate in the distance. He took his hand out of the pocket of his khaki long windbreaker and turned around. He smiled at a girl who was staring at him in a daze on the sidewalk. Then, when the girl's face turned red, he opened the car door and got in.

But within two weeks, Min Hyun-soo's training had paid off. Now An Rushong keeps his back straight when walking, sitting or lying down. He gives people the feeling that he is not only full of confidence but also full of energy. He is a very eye-catching person.

Of course, this kind of temperament always needs to be set off by "golden clothes". When you wear a custom windbreaker that costs tens of millions of won, it will always be more elegant than an ordinary windbreaker that costs hundreds of thousands of won. This temperament does not come from the fabric and workmanship, but from the confidence of "I am willing to spend tens of millions of won to buy a windbreaker."

Well, everything ultimately comes down to financial resources. A person who earns three thousand a month will find it difficult to stand up straight in front of someone who earns a million a month, because the latter can easily solve "million-dollar" troubles, while the same troubles can crush the former to death.

After restarting the car, An Rushong headed straight for Daogu Cave.

Yesterday, Min Hyun-su took him to learn how to sail a yacht. Of course, they didn't learn it in the sea, but in the Han River, or to be more precise, in the Gwangjin Bridge in Banpo.

The yacht was rented, and An Rushong didn't know how much the rental fee was. Anyway, after three hours of study, he was given a big box of chocolates.

The box looked like a basketball box, just that big. An Rusong opened the box and saw that it was full of chocolate balls wrapped in colorful paper. The paper had the words "Lindor" on it. After asking Min Xianxiu, he found out that it was a soft-core chocolate from Lindt.

An Rushong brought some to Rubin and left some at the Songquandong mansion. Now there are about thirty or forty pieces left, and he plans to give them to the sisters Yuanya and Yuanhe to try.

Girls always need more coaxing.

After leaving Anam-dong, An Rusong drove south. After crossing the Hannam Bridge, he walked for about ten minutes before turning east and heading towards Yangjae.

Just after he passed Liangcai High School, he encountered a traffic light at the intersection. Because he had to go straight, he parked his car in the second lane on the left. In front of him was a blue Audi.

An Rushong stopped the car and glanced at the countdown of the traffic light. Feeling that there was still a bit of time left, he turned on the car stereo. Just as he was thinking about choosing a song, he saw a minibus coming from the north on the Shinbundang Line. It seemed to have lost control and crashed into a slow-moving white car in front of it, rushing straight towards the west side of the intersection.

The brown-gray bus was travelling at a very fast speed, pushing the car forward for seven or eight meters before it was thrown aside. Then, without any obstruction, the minibus sped straight towards the direction where An Rushong had parked his car.

Seeing the bus rushing towards him, An Rushong subconsciously wanted to push the door and escape from the bus, but the seat belt pulled him back to his seat.
