Chapter 194: Covered in Mud
Chapter 194 Covered in Mud
It was during this farce-like so-called "National Assembly siege" that Jiang Qizhen hit a female congresswoman on the head with a landline phone. This female congresswoman was the congresswoman Kim Young-sook mentioned by Nan Xuyu. As for Han Min-sook, she was the prime minister who had just resigned in the first half of the year.
Han Min-sook also stands on the side of the progressives. She was appointed as the prime minister by President Roh. She is not only the first female prime minister in South Korean history, but also a leader of the Korean women's movement. In the field of the Korean women's rights movement, she is a godmother-level existence.
This guy Jiang Qizheng has a lot of experience in South Korean politics. He is also a big shot in the progressive camp. He has many fans, but also many opponents. The main reason those opponents target him is that he is very violent and likes to use violence.
Just as Nan Xuyu said, Jiang Qi hit a female congressman on the head with a telephone during the siege of Congress. This incident itself is controversial. As long as the media gives it extensive coverage and extends the topic to misogyny and infringement of women's rights, it will inevitably trigger a certain amount of heated discussion. By then, the domestic attention to the BBK fraud case will naturally be weakened.
An Rushong listened on the side without saying anything. In his previous life, he paid attention to some news during Li Minbo's presidential campaign. It was not that he paid more attention to it, but the domestic media at that time paid more attention to it.
He remembered that the "BBK Special Prosecution Law" was finally passed by the South Korean National Assembly. It seemed that it was voted through by the remaining members of the Grand National Party in the absence of the members.
Logically speaking, such a vote was not in compliance with the rules, but then-President Roh still signed the bill. However, he had already lost effective control of the National Assembly at that time. The Grand National Party, as the opposition party, was the largest party in the National Assembly, and he did not control the position of Minister of Justice. Therefore, the final result was that although the bill was approved, the investigation of the Prosecutor's Office was ineffective until Lee Min-bok ascended to the presidency and completely abolished the entire investigation.
It seemed that Liu Shanyong wanted to get such an answer from Nan Xuyu. After the latter said this, he just nodded and said nothing more.
After a few minutes, Kim Sung-hoon, who had just been hit on the head, ran back again. The blood on his face had been washed and the wound had been simply bandaged. However, there were still obvious blood stains on the shoulders of his suit. It was obvious that he had no time to change his clothes.
Although he was severely humiliated by Yoo Sun-yong and had his head broken, Kim Sung-hoon didn't mind at all. He behaved as enthusiastic and humble as before.
On the contrary, Liu Shanyong seemed to have not calmed down yet. He stared at the other person fiercely from beginning to end without saying a word.
Kim Sung-hoon brought three room cards and respectfully told the three people that everything was arranged and they could go to the room to rest at any time. He also said that if they needed anything, they could call him directly and he would be there at their call.
Just as Nan Xuyu had requested before, An Rushong got the room card for Room 17. When he got the room card, he deliberately looked in the direction of the stage.
Sure enough, there was a new person on the stage. The embarrassed woman was gone. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have been sent to Room 17 at this moment.
An Rusong had no sympathy for women, after all, he was not a kind person. In addition, he was not worried that he would be implicated by Jin Chengxun in the future if he participated in such activities. After all, his memories of his previous life had told him that there was no such thing as rewarding good and punishing evil in the Republic of Korea. Jin Chengxun's trouble would only be his own, and would not implicate the "players" who had accepted his hospitality.
Compared to the trouble that Kim Sung-hoon might bring, An Rushong was actually more worried about the privacy of Room 17. After all, he and the Zhao brothers had a lot of CDs with explosive content in their hands. Who knew if there were any cameras or something like that installed in Room 17.
However, An Rushong was also very clear that he now had no choice in many things. If he always remained cautious when facing people like Nan Xuyu, the other party would also always remain cautious towards him. Only if he let go, or to be more precise, only if he handed some handles over to the other party, would the other party truly trust him.
After getting the room card, the three did not leave the box immediately. They chatted for a while and drank two glasses of wine. Then, at Liu Shanyong's suggestion, they left the box together and went to their respective rooms.
"Didi"
A shrill telephone ring woke An Rushong from his sleep.
With his eyes closed in a daze, he instinctively reached out to touch the bedside table, but found nothing.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the phone rang from far away, as if it was right next to his ear. At the same time, a strange woman's voice asked in a low voice, "Do you want to answer it?"
Huo Ran woke up from his half-asleep state. An Rushong turned his head and looked around, and saw the familiar but actually unfamiliar woman's face very close to him, and his mobile phone was held in her hand.
"Ah," It was only at this moment that An Rushong remembered where he was. He nodded, took the phone from the woman's hand, looked at the caller ID, and then pressed the answer button.
The call was from Mike. As soon as An Rushong pressed the answer button, he heard his voice coming from the phone: "An, are you free now?" "What's the matter, Mike?" An Rushong turned over and sat up in bed, asking while putting on paper slippers.
"I'm with Macaulay and Luo," Mike said, "Aren't you going to buy Luo's house? He came back from the United States. If you have time now, we can meet and talk and have a couple of drinks."
Luo Quan also?
Before, An Rushong had heard of this person's name from Macaulay, but Macaulay did not mention any specific details about him.
"No problem, Mike," An Rusong said with a smile, "Just tell me the address and I'll be there on time."
"Don't wait until then, it's now," Mike said, "Luo Yan at the Shilla Hotel, I'm getting ready to go, Macaulay and Luo have already gone."
"Okay, I'll leave right away," An Rushong agreed and then hung up the phone.
On the big round bed behind him, a woman was putting on her clothes sparsely. An Rushong turned his head to take a look at her, wanting to say something but feeling like he had nothing to say.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally just coughed dryly and then walked towards the bathroom.
He took a simple shower, and when he returned to the bedroom, he saw that the woman had put on the oil-soaked evening dress again. When she saw him coming out of the bathroom, she gave him a smile, which was obviously flattering, but also a little timid.
Knowing that he and this woman were only having a one-night stand and that they would never have any interaction in real life, even if he came to this place again next time, or asked President Jin to arrange services, he would not look for this woman again. Therefore, An Rushong did not respond to the other party's smile.
He left the bedroom and went into the living room. He put on the clothes that he had thrown on the sofa in the living room one by one, laughing at himself in his heart as he put on his clothes.
What is certain is that with today's incident, he, the chairman of NGN Company, the youngest newly rich man in the Republic of Korea who truly made his fortune from scratch, has jumped into the mud and is covered in mud. If nothing unexpected happens, Nan Xuyu and even Councillor Kong will greatly increase their trust in him.
The Republic of Korea is rotten from top to bottom. The entertainment industry is rotten, the political circle is rotten, and the financial circle is rotten. These rotten circles are stuck together and entangled together, forming a stinking quagmire. A truly clean person cannot develop here, because he cannot integrate with these circles at all, and he will be excluded everywhere.
An Rushong was not looking for excuses for his own downfall; he was only considering reality.
Just like the woman sitting on the bed at this moment, is she really forced to come to this point today? An Rusong doesn't think so. He can only say that the reason why people have weaknesses is because they have desires. This is the fact.
The reason why An Rushong fell was because his desires were too strong. As a reborn person, he had never thought about living an ordinary life since the day he came to this world. His new life was to satisfy various desires and to be a slave to his desires.
Now, he jumped into the mud pond. Although he was covered in mud, he had taken a big step forward on the road to satisfying his desires.
The chairman of a unicorn company, the youngest newly rich man in the Republic of Korea who truly made his fortune from scratch, these titles only mean that An Rusong is rich, or at least a relatively wealthy person.
But money itself has no value. Its value can only be reflected when it is spent and exchanged for various resources.
From this perspective, An Rushong has only taken the first step towards success. He still has to use the money in his hands to exchange for resources and influence. Using money to control people like Jin Chengxun and make them serve him is also an important step in expanding his influence.
What is an upper-class person? What is an upper-class society? If we cannot use money and power to classify the world and push the vast majority of people to the bottom, how can the so-called upper class be manifested?
After putting on his clothes without a single wrinkle, An Rushong in front of the mirror turned into the sunny, handsome and elegant young man again. He casually threw the exquisite room card on the coffee table in the living room and then went out.
