Chapter 230 No Good People

If there are no more decent politicians in a country's political arena, then no matter who becomes president, the country's overall structure will inevitably end in failure.

In An Rusong's opinion, there are actually no decent politicians in the political arena of the Republic of Korea today.

Look at the presidential candidate put forward by the conservatives, the "eagle-eyed and wolf-like" candidate Lee Min-bo. Not to mention what kind of person his brother is, he himself has not been able to clear his connection with the "BBK fraud case" until now. On the contrary, he seems to be sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire of this case.

Of course, don't think that the progressives who stand opposite the conservatives are a group of honest people. The only difference between those guys and the conservatives is the difference in political stance, not whether they are corrupt or not.

Most importantly, due to historical and current external reasons, the contradiction and division between progressives and conservatives is becoming increasingly serious. The confrontation between the two has evolved from a simple political difference to a sharp mutual attack similar to an enemy-enemy contradiction.

As a reborn person, An Rusong only needs to calm down and think carefully to know where this contradiction comes from. One thing that can be confirmed is that as South Korea, the former sovereign, gradually returns to its regional and even global superpower status, and as its confrontational stance with the United States becomes more and more obvious, the struggle between the two factions in South Korea will become more and more intense.

For An Rushong, he doesn't need to pay attention to these things now. His current established position is to firmly cling to the thighs of the conservatives. After all, in his memory of his previous life, the conservatives can dominate the government for nearly ten years.

As NGN launched a volunteer campaign to clean up the Yellow Sea oil spill in a pop-up window, a sense of “being in the same boat” quickly spread among ordinary people in South Korea. At five o’clock in the afternoon of the day the campaign was launched, the number of registered volunteers on the official website of the campaign officially exceeded 100,000. At the same time, the popularity of this campaign also officially jumped to the first place on the Yahoo News Hot Topics Ranking.

That evening, KBS TV did a special news feature after the "9 o'clock news" column, reporting in detail the original intention and purpose of NGN's operation of this volunteer activity. It was in this program that An Rusong appeared together with candidate Li Minbo and Councillor Kong, and perfectly performed the "script" that had been prepared in advance.

During the program, candidate Lee Min-bo launched a "heartfelt" mobilization to the people of the entire Republic of Korea, calling on capable people to join the ranks of volunteers. At the same time, he called on the 300 incumbent members of the National Assembly to put aside disputes over positions and factions, give priority to formulating relevant disaster relief and relief strategies, concentrate national resources and manpower, clean up the leaked crude oil that has flooded the Yellow Sea, and return the sea to its clear blue color.

At the end of the program, the host, Jin Jinglan, announced in a sad tone the relevant data on the damage caused by the crude oil spill: as of six o'clock in the evening of that day, in the coastal areas of South Chungcheong Province alone, 2,108 hectares of aquaculture farms, 221 hectares of beaches and 5,894 hectares of fishing grounds had been contaminated by oil droplets.

In the following two days, a large number of news reports about seawater pollution began to appear in Korean media. Large numbers of sea ducks were contaminated by crude oil, large numbers of dead fish, and endless reports in overseas newspapers began to flood various newspapers and related websites.

This kind of large-scale coverage has effectively influenced public opinion throughout South Korea. In just five days, the number of volunteers registered on the NGN software volunteer activity page has exceeded 400 and is rapidly moving towards 4000. At the same time, more than companies and enterprises have participated in donating money and materials, raising a total of more than billion won in donations.

Volunteer activities soon broke through the boundaries of the private sector, and local governments in South Chungcheong Province quickly joined in. With Taean County as the center, more than 60 coastal volunteer work centers were established one after another. Donated materials and volunteers from all over South Korea gathered in these work centers.

It was not until the seventh day after the disaster that the government led by President Roh officially issued an official order for all-out disaster relief. According to this order, six cities and counties including Taean County were listed as special disaster-stricken areas, and the central government allocated manpower and materials to carry out disaster relief work.

It has to be admitted that the disaster relief decision made by the Blue House was too slow and too tardy. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was simply an irresponsible criminal act. Therefore, the public's disappointment with the progressives was even stronger.

But in fact, the delay in passing the disaster relief resolution is not only the responsibility of the Blue House itself, but also because someone deliberately hindered the National Assembly in passing the relevant resolution, which led to the delay of relevant work. In the final analysis, in today's National Assembly, the Grand National Party, which leads the conservative faction, truly occupies the majority of seats. President Roh is equivalent to a lame president who cannot enforce his orders at all.

The volunteer action not only made the public completely disappointed with the governance ability of the progressives, but also diverted the public's attention from the "BBK fraud case" to the greatest extent. In the past period of time, the topic of "BBK fraud case" has always been at the top of Yahoo's hot news rankings, but since the volunteer action was launched, there is no topic related to this news on this ranking list.

Furthermore, in the public opinion atmosphere of South Korea, the public's antipathy towards Samsung Group has soared to an unprecedented height. On the Internet, there is a lot of criticism against Samsung Group. However, Samsung Group turned a blind eye to this. As the largest chaebol closely related to the Korean economy, when has the Lee family of Samsung ever cared about public opinion? As the saying goes: "Let him be strong, the breeze blows over the hills; let him be arrogant, the bright moon shines on the river." My great Samsung is like a god in South Korea. What can you ordinary people do to me?
Zhouhu Residence is located at the foot of Guanyue Mountain.

With a cigarette in his mouth, An Rushong, naked, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking through the glass window at the snow-covered Guanyue Mountain in the distance.

On the carpet in front of him, Kim Myung-shin, wearing only a pair of black stockings and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, knelt on the ground with her knees bent, trying her best to show off her eloquence.

"Didi."

The rapid ringing of the phone disturbed the passionate atmosphere in the room. An Rushong put the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth and patted the back of Jin Mingxin's head. The latter stood up tactfully, walked quickly to the coffee table not far away, picked up the ringing phone and handed it to An Rushong.

Taking the phone in his hand, An Rushong looked at the incoming call information displayed on the screen, smiled, then turned the screen over and showed it to Jin Mingxin beside him.

The caller information displayed on the screen was "Wu Xiumin". After seeing this caller information, Jin Mingxin's eyes lit up and an expression of surprise appeared on her bright face.

The reason for this is that Wu Xiumin is the director of the Nursing Department. Previously, Kim Myung-shin applied for the position of honorary professor at Suwon Women's University, hoping to serve as a part-time professor at the university, and the approval procedure he had to go through included the identification of this person.

Without keeping the woman waiting for long, An Rushong directly pressed the answer button on the phone, and then turned on the speakerphone.

The call was from Wu Xiumin, who brought An Rusong a good news that Kim Myung-shin's application for honorary professor had been approved by the school. In addition to informing An Rusong of the news, Wu Xiumin also called to invite An Rusong on behalf of President Yan Taizhi, inviting him to visit Suwon Women's University if he had time.

As the volunteer action progressed, NGN and An Rusong became famous throughout South Korea. Over the past period of time, his social circle has expanded rapidly, not only in the business community, but also in the political and academic circles. Many people have come to him and got to know him.

Actually, he had no connection with Suwon Women's University, but the so-called Suwon Women's University was just an ordinary technical college. With a donation of not too small a sum, the connection between them would naturally be established. With An Rushong's current reputation, plus a considerable donation and the title of honorary professor, Suwon Women's University was still willing to give him.

Of course, this donation was not taken out of An Rushong's own pocket. It was stolen money that came from the disaster relief funds donated by various companies and groups during the volunteer campaign.

It is impossible for all the donations of more than 4000 billion won and the massive amount of donated materials to be used for disaster relief activities. Although the expenditure accounts of these donations are published on NGN's website every day, accounts are always made by humans, and anything made by humans can be falsified. This will never change.

To be honest, An Rushong really looked down upon such dirty money, but since it was given to him, he had to take it. Otherwise, he would be considered as being out of place and having ulterior motives, and would be ostracized by "his own people". So, An Rushong took the money, and then donated it to Suwon Women's University in the name of supporting education, and asked the school for the title of honorary professor.

Yes, the money is dirty money, but An Rushong is not afraid of anyone coming to investigate. As long as Jin Mingxin can successfully push it to Prosecutor Yin, he will not worry that someone will investigate the whereabouts of the money in the future. After all, as long as Prosecutor Yin's fate does not change drastically, he will become the head prosecutor of the Korean Underworld.
