Chapter 180 Compensation for the Car
Chapter 180 Compensation for the Car
NGN Corporation, President's Office.
An Rushong sat on the chair behind his desk with his legs crossed, humming a little tune while pushing the mouse wheel and browsing the news on the Internet page by page.
He is in an extremely good mood now, and the main reason for his good mood is that Li Caicao is pregnant and he is about to become a father.
This was the first time he had experienced such an experience in his two lives. To be honest, it was hard to describe this feeling. To say that it was simply happiness was not quite specific, because this happiness was mixed with some expectations, some trepidation, and some inexplicable emotions. Last night, he even had a dream about his son. He dreamed that he went skiing somewhere with a boy who looked 70% similar to him.
That place was full of snow-capped mountains, and he and the boy chatted and laughed while skiing. He just felt that the dream was very long, but after waking up, he didn't remember what they talked about, which was very strange.
As for the secondary reason for being in a good mood, it was that the Yahoo forum was very lively early this morning, with countless netizens discussing the corruption issue of the Anti-Corruption Department of the Republic of Korea on the forum.
Corruption in the anti-corruption department? Is this a difficult sentence to pronounce wrong?
Hey, the answer is yes, it is the truth.
Just last night, Kim Young-chul, the former head of Samsung Group's legal affairs team who had claimed that Samsung Group had engaged in large-scale bribery, finally announced a list of Samsung Group's bribery to the outside world after remaining silent for a long time.
This list was first disclosed by the online version of the Chosun Ilbo. The people involved include Lee Gui-nam, director of the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office; Lee Jong-bo, chairman of the National Integrity Committee; Lim Chae-jin, candidate for Attorney General, and many others. It can be said that this list alone has captured all the senior officials of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and the National Integrity Committee.
The most interesting thing is that Lin Caizhen was nominated as Prosecutor General by President Roh just last week. He is one of the most promising candidates for Prosecutor General at the moment.
At present, all the popular posts on the entire Yahoo forum, without exception, are discussing this matter, and netizens have said all kinds of things.
Some people say that this list is fake and that Jin Rongzhe is making false accusations. After all, he just made a list, and he himself couldn't explain how to prove that the list was true.
There are also people who are gloating over others' misfortune. They posted messages asking how the case should be investigated, who should investigate it, and what kind of results can be expected. After all, the list includes almost all the senior officials of the Supreme Procuratorate and the National Integrity Commission. Could it be that these people will investigate themselves?
In addition, some people posted speculations, saying that Kim Young-chul himself is an "actor" pushed forward by the Samsung Group. He seems to be reporting and exposing the scandals of the Samsung Group, but his real goal is to discredit President Roh and Candidate Chung supported by President Roh. In other words, this is a farce directed and performed by the Samsung Group itself.
As a spectator, An Rushong didn't know what the truth was, but if he were to guess, he would think that this farce was indeed directed and acted by the Samsung Group itself. No, to be precise, it was a farce staged by the Samsung Group in cooperation with the opposition political forces.
The reason why Kim Yong-chol chose this time to disclose this so-called "blacklist" was, on the one hand, to throw dirty water on President Roh, and on the other hand, to divert public attention.
What are they trying to divert public attention from? Of course, it's the BBK financial fraud case involving candidate Lee Min-bo. Don't forget that Kim Jung-jun has been deported back to South Korea. It is said that he is currently being temporarily detained in a hotel in Seoul. People from the Supreme Prosecutor's Office are conducting a surprise interrogation on him, trying to get the "whole truth" from him.
Now, no one knows what Kim Jeong-joon said, and no one knows whether he really has evidence that is unfavorable to candidate Lee Min-bok, but one thing everyone knows is that once Kim Jeong-joon opens his mouth and insists that candidate Lee Min-bok is closely related to the BBK financial fraud case, and produces some evidence that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, then candidate Lee Min-bok's election situation will inevitably be affected.
In today's South Korean political arena, the contradiction between progressives and conservatives has become quite acute. It can even be said that the struggle between the two sides has reached the point of bloodshed.
Like the previous Ministry of National Defense bribery case and the BBK financial fraud case that has resurfaced, there should be manipulation by progressives behind them. It can even be said that President Roh played a key role in it.
The accusation initiated by Kim Young-chul, the so-called "Samsung Group bribery scandal", should be a counterattack by the conservatives. Even if this bucket of dirty water cannot cause any serious damage to President Roh, it is estimated that it will have a certain deterrent effect on institutions such as the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and the National Integrity Commission.
Most importantly, facing the charge of bribery, the Supreme Prosecutor's Office cannot be without concerns in the subsequent investigation of the BBK case.
How could conservatives not do something like this that kills two birds with one stone?
Just when An Rusong was enjoying his meal, the glass door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Xiuyuan, who was wearing a small suit, walked in from the outside. She stood at the door and said, "Brother Rusong, a man named Jian Yuzhen is here to visit you."
Having said that, she quickly walked towards An Rushong's desk. When she got closer, she handed him a business card and said, "This is his business card." When Jiang Xiuyuan mentioned the name "Jian Yuzhen", An Rushong already knew who the other person was. He was the chairman of the Dynasty Hotel Group. The night before yesterday, Jiang Yiyu had briefly introduced this person.
At that time, the people hired by Jiang Yiyu beat the other party's son half to death, and promised that the other party would compensate An Rushong with a new car. No, that night Jiang Yiyu asked the other party to compensate him with 10 cars. Haha, An Rushong didn't take such words to heart. He just wanted the other party to compensate him for the scratched car.
After playing with the business card for a while, An Rusong nodded and said, "Please let him in."
Jiang Xiuyuan nodded, turned and walked towards the door. After a while, a tall and thin middle-aged man was brought in from outside.
The middle-aged man looks to be in his fifties, with a high hairline, but his facial features are regular, and it can be seen that he must have been a handsome guy when he was young.
Following behind Jiang Xiuyuan, the middle-aged man was holding a silver password box in his hand. He walked in from outside. When he saw An Rusong for the first time, he bowed 90 degrees without hesitation and said loudly: "I am so sorry, Mr. An. I didn't teach my family well, and unfortunately I have a rebellious son. I have caused you trouble. Please forgive me."
An Rushong didn't expect that the other party would apologize so sincerely as soon as he entered the door without even saying a few simple words.
However, even so, he still sat in the chair without moving, just looking at the other person with cold eyes, waiting for him to continue speaking.
At this time, he really didn't know what to say. Should he say to the other party: Your son is still a child, don't bother with him too much, or I am also wrong in this matter?
Are you kidding? An Rushong didn't think he did anything wrong that night. Moreover, even if he was really wrong, he couldn't say it in front of the other party at this time. Otherwise, if the news got out, what would Jiang Yiyu, Shen Wuguo and others think?
Therefore, the whole thing could only be the fault of President Jian’s son. Being beaten half to death was retribution for him. It could be considered a lesson for him.
"I have accepted Lawyer Jiang's suggestion. I have come here to express my apologies to Mr. An." Without getting a response from An Rusong, Jian Yuzhen continued, "In addition, I must make full compensation for the losses suffered by Mr. An."
As he said this, he turned slightly and handed the password box in his hand to Jiang Xiuyuan, saying, "In the past two days, I have visited several car dealerships in Seoul, hoping to buy a Mercedes-Benz seven-seater commercial vehicle of the same model and style for Mr. An. Unfortunately, there are only two cars available for immediate delivery in Seoul. So, for the remaining cars, I am willing to compensate you in cash according to the price. I hope Mr. An can understand."
After saying this, he bowed to An Rushong again.
Seeing Jiang Xiuyuan take the box and carry it in front of him with a strange expression, An Rusong coughed and said, "Okay, President Jian, I accept your apology. I just hope that from now on, you can discipline the child well and don't let him get into trouble."
"Thank you, thank you Mr. An," Jian Yuzhen seemed to have let out a long sigh. He lowered his head and thanked him repeatedly. Then, hesitantly, he said, "Then, can Mr. An convey this to Lawyer Jiang? Just say it."
"Okay, I understand what you mean," An Rusong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will call him later and tell him that we have reached an understanding."
"Thank you very much, thank you very much," Jian Yuzhen thanked him again, and then said, "Well, I won't bother you, Mr. An. Ah, the two cars are parked downstairs. Please check them out, Mr. An, if there are any problems."
"If there are any questions, I will contact you again," An Rushong said on behalf of the other party.
Jian Yuzhen didn't say anything else. He walked backwards to the door. Finally, he bowed to An Rushong before turning around and leaving quickly.
"Is this the person who smashed the company car?" Jiang Xiuyuan asked after Jian Yuzhen left.
"It's not him, it's his son," An Rushong shook his head. This was a typical case of the son getting into trouble and the father paying the bill. God knows how the president of Dynasty Hotel Group got through the past two days, and how much he paid to settle such a matter.
