Chapter 247 Two poles

That's right, don't underestimate this presidential election. Because Lee Min-bo has entered the Blue House and the conservatives have an absolute majority in the parliament, it is equivalent to the return of the military government of the past. They are just returning in the guise of democratic elections with a more moderate attitude.

They have strong concepts of nationalism and national security, oppose peaceful contact with the northern regime, have pro-American and pro-Japanese stances, and many members even have close ties with Japan, etc. These are the conservatives. Are they much different from the original military government?
In the past decade or so, the progressives have been pushing for the "Special Law on Finding the Truth about Pro-Japanese and Anti-National Behavior", which is aimed at the weakness of the conservatives. Now that the conservatives have returned to power, how can they not launch a thorough counterattack and do everything they can to expel the conservatives' influence and control from all levels of the country?

Even though Li Minbo's governing strategy is relatively conservative and he will not start a major war as soon as he takes office, these operations are inevitable sooner or later, because the progressives did the same thing back then.

Possibilities like this are not unique to An Rushong, but can be thought of by anyone with some political sensitivity and political ambition. Therefore, they will take the initiative to plan and take advantage of this great change to create a brighter and broader future for themselves.

Indeed, people like Lee Min-bo and President Roh have their own political stances, because if they don't have political stances, they can't reach the top of power. But for people like Shen Yuting, Jin Yumin, and Han Junxi, their current status and positions are not enough to support them to consider political stances, progressive and conservative issues. That is still a bit far away from them.

Especially for Prosecutor Yin, is it meaningful for him to consider whether he should stand on the side of the progressives or the conservatives? Instead of spending time thinking about these things, he might as well think more about what his boss likes and wants. After all, his fate is not in the hands of the voters, but in the hands of his boss.

It is precisely because of this that prosecutors like Shen Yuting, Jin Yumin, and Han Junxi took the initiative to get closer to An Rusong. In terms of position, An Rusong may not be able to determine their future, but it is undeniable that An Rusong is highly valued by Li Minbo and Bai Jinjun, and Li Minbo is the one who can decide the future Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. As for Bai Jinjun, with his key position in Li Minbo's team, even if he cannot play a decisive role in the selection of the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, he can definitely have a certain influence on the person who is selected.

Of course, there is also a possibility that An Rushong can't help at all with the careers of the three people, but it doesn't matter. For people like Shen Yuting, as long as there is a possibility of success, it is worth a bet. The most important thing is that getting closer to people like An Rushong is a completely cost-effective thing for them.

After a few simple greetings, everyone took their seats. Because of An Rushong's special care, Prosecutor Yin was able to have his own seat. As for pouring the wine, it was given to the youngest prosecutor, Song Zhuyu.

What’s interesting is that, for some unknown reason, when everyone sat down, Shen Yuting actually arranged Song Zhuyu to sit next to An Rushong, as if he had brought this young prosecutor here specifically to drink with An Rushong.

After taking their seats, everyone naturally exchanged some polite greetings. At this time, it was clear how low Prosecutor Yin's emotional intelligence was.

In such social occasions, others will try their best to flatter the host and guest, talk about things that will make the host and guest feel proud and happy, and try to avoid directing the topic to themselves or the guests.

Just like tonight, An Rushong is obviously the host, Shen Yuting is the host, and Jin Yumin and Han Junxi, as Shen Yuting's superiors and friends, act as guests. Of course, Prosecutor Yin and Song Zhuyu should also be considered guests, but the roles they play in the guests are not important. The former comes specifically to pour wine, and the latter comes to liven up the atmosphere at certain key moments.

Because of this, after everyone sat down and drank a round of wine, Shen Yuting and his two superiors began to praise An Rusong. The main topic first revolved around his NGN company and NGN software. The general rhetoric was to praise NGN software for being very popular, especially among young people. Then they used Song Zhuyu as an example, saying that she was a loyal user of NGN software and how much she admired An Rusong.

At this time, it is time for Song Zhuyu to play her role. A few words of flattery in a coquettish voice and some small physical contact, whether explicit or not, can naturally flatter An Rushong and make him feel intoxicated.

After that, Shen Yuting and his friends changed the topic and the angle of flattery, and began to talk about how much Li Minbo valued NGN and An Rusong. When the topic was brought to this point, it was naturally not far from their real purpose. As long as the topic was slightly diverted at this time, while An Rusong was in a daze, they could start asking Li Minbo whether he had already determined the candidate for the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
In fact, this is a routine, just like crosstalk, one funny man, two supporting men, and An Rusong is the audience. As long as the latter "laughs", everyone will feel relieved. But the problem is that this routine went wrong tonight. An Rusong is not a person who is easily carried away by success. When Shen Yuting and others flattered him, he naturally had to flatter them in return. If it was someone else, it would be fine. At most, they would laugh and turn the topic back to him. But when it was Prosecutor Yin's turn, this guy took An Rusong's flattery.

An Rushong said that he was very interested in An Xizai's case and wanted to know how Prosecutor Yin withstood the pressure and investigated the case thoroughly. Prosecutor Yin really dragged the topic over and talked about his glorious case-handling history while drinking. He became the protagonist at the table, and Shen Yuting and the other two couldn't find a chance to steer the conversation back to the topic.

Beside the coffee table, An Rusong smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Prosecutor Song Zhuyu, listened to Prosecutor Yin's endless narration, and looked at the stiff smile on Shen Yuting's face. He felt so happy. He understood why Prosecutor Yin became the "conscientious prosecutor" and "fair prosecutor" in the minds of so many Koreans. This was not because Prosecutor Yin was so fair and selfless, and upright, but because he was born with such a stupid temper. His IQ might not be a big problem, but his EQ was definitely not the kind that he was born with.

With Prosecutor Yin's jokes, the few people drank for half an hour, but Shen Yuting and the others were unable to get the conversation to the point. An Rushong keenly noticed that Jin Yumin and Han Junxi were still okay, but Shen Yuting looked at Prosecutor Yin with some unfriendly eyes. If An Rushong proposed to end the conversation at this time, Prosecutor Yin would probably have a hard time in the end.

An Rusong hoped to reap the benefits of President Yin in the future. For this, he had made so many arrangements. How could he attract hatred for Prosecutor Yin for no reason? Therefore, during the toast, he reached out through Song Zhuyu, patted Shen Yuting's knee, and said with a smile: "Yutingge, where is the bathroom here?"

Hearing him ask this, Shen Yuting stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you there, I also want to go there."

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Prosecutor Yin, who was obviously drunk, also stood up. He said something unclearly, and it was obvious that he also wanted to go to the bathroom.

Fortunately, Jin Yumin noticed something. He stood up, grabbed Prosecutor Yin's wrist, and pulled him back to the sofa, saying, "Prosecutor Yin, don't go for now. If you all go, do you want me and Minister Han to drink here?"

Without Prosecutor Yin's harassment, An Rushong and the other man hurriedly left the box.

"Rushong ah," Shen Yuting said with a wry smile on his face after leaving the box.

"Brother Yuting, I understand what you mean," An Rusong put a hand on his shoulder, interrupted him with a smile, and said, "You have been in the position of Director of Criminal Department 1 for a long time. It is indeed time to move on. Minister Jin and Minister Han are in similar situations to you, so you all want to know who will be the next Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, right?"

A look of surprise appeared on Shen Yuting's face. He really didn't expect that An Rushong could see through his thoughts. However, this surprise only stayed on his face for a few seconds. He smiled with relief and then gave An Rushong a thumbs up.

"However, Brother Yuting, I really haven't received any relevant information now," An Rusong said with a smile, holding down the other person's hand and pressing down his raised thumb. "I only know that An Gangmin will definitely go down. This is not only because his position is wrong, but also because he is too dirty. Councillor Lu and his people have been biting him. If we don't get rid of him, it is not in Mr. Qingxi's interest, and there is no way to quell the public anger."

An Gangmin is the current chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and the "boss" of Shen Yuting and his colleagues. However, as An Rushong said, this boss will not be in office for much longer. I believe that after Lee Min-bo takes office as president, this guy will be one of the first people to be replaced.
