Chapter 303 Bribery
Jenny stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled helplessly and said, "Like I said, don't involve Leonard in this matter, otherwise, both you and I will get into big trouble."

An Rusong did not respond. He could vaguely guess that the newly appointed Leonard was unlikely to have any connection with Wilder and his people. And as the regional chief of an intelligence department like the NSA, it was unlikely that he would have a harmonious relationship with the people in the US military in South Korea.

Just like in South Korea, the relationship between the National Intelligence Service and the military is very delicate. They cooperate with each other, but there are more conflicts and mutual accusations. Considering that South Korea is learning everything from the Americans, it is estimated that the situation in the United States should be similar.

In fact, from a practical point of view, it is impossible for a country's intelligence agency to establish close relations with the military. Otherwise, the country's head of state and leaders will have a headache.

Seeing An Rusong remained silent, Jenny continued, "Okay, since you don't want to have too much contact with those people, I can turn down this meeting for you, but you have to understand that many times, when you refuse to get close to certain people, it is actually equivalent to choosing to stand on the opposite side of them. After all, there are not many truly reasonable people in this world."

"It doesn't matter," An Rusong shrugged and said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm a businessman, working in information technology. In my opinion, people like me shouldn't have too much contact with soldiers or drug dealers."

He paused, looked at the other party with a half-smile, and said, "The most important thing is that I believe that the business that Wilder and his team are doing now cannot last too long. Since the first whistleblower appeared today, the second, third, or even countless whistleblowers will appear tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. They can avoid this crisis, and perhaps the next one, but they can't be lucky forever."

Seeing that Jenny seemed to want to speak, he raised his hand and made a silencing gesture, and then continued: "I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than that the US troops stationed in South Korea have extraterritoriality on this damn peninsula, so even if these drug dealers are exposed, they will most likely not receive any effective punishment. I admit this, but it is precisely because of this that I don't want to have too much contact with them, because they can be unaffected by drug trafficking crimes, but I can't, I have to continue living here."

"Wilder and the others know this," An Rusong said with a smile, looking at the other person's face. "So, I'm afraid they didn't have any good intentions in asking me to meet this time. Apart from anything else, they only need to arrange for someone to take a few photos of me dining with them. When their drug trafficking is exposed in the future, they can throw these photos out and cause me a lot of trouble, right?"

Jenny didn't seem to have thought of this, so after hearing An Rushong's words, her pupils obviously shrank inward.

It must be admitted that this possibility does exist. Once such a thing happens, regardless of whether An Rusong is involved in drug trafficking or not, the fact that he is "too close" to drug dealers is enough to attract criticism from the Korean public opinion.

An Rushong is a businessman, a successful businessman. His NGN software is taking over everywhere. In this process, his competitors or those who want to get a piece of the NGN company are all his enemies and will seize every opportunity to attack him. Therefore, he has every reason to be cautious.

"Commissioner Jenny," An Rusong said with a sincere expression, "If you have any private connection with these guys, especially if there is any financial dealings, then I can give you a frank suggestion, well, it can also be said to be advice based on friendship: stay away from those guys. Every penny you get from them may cost you a hundred times more."

"I didn't take any money from them," Jenny glared at him and retorted almost reflexively.

However, facing An Rushong's gaze, her self-righteousness quickly withered.

"Although the NSA has a lot of funding, the amount that can actually be put into one's own wallet is very limited, especially for Asian employees like me. You have to understand that the so-called free and equal America is actually divided into different classes. You can call it racial discrimination or something else, but it is real," she said, leaning her back against the sofa, kicking off her high heels, curling up her legs on the sofa.

"So if I want to live a more decent life and get a fairer chance of promotion like my white colleagues, I have to pay more," she said. "But, as I said before, I did interact with those people in the barracks, but I didn't take a penny from their drug trafficking income."

An Rushong looked at her without saying anything, with an inexplicable smile on his face all the time.

Jenny herself said that she was connected with Wilder and his people, but she did not get any money from their drug trafficking income. If you think more deeply about the meaning of this sentence, it means that she made money from those people in other ways. In short, she must have some shady income that was related to Wilder and his people.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jenny was a little annoyed and angry at his look.

“You’re exposed, Commissioner Jenny,” An Rushong said with a smile.

Jenny then realized that her sitting posture was indeed very unladylike, but she didn't take it to heart. In fact, if she wasn't worried about being too embarrassed, she wouldn't care about building a closer relationship with An Rusong. As for the exposure, being seen wouldn't make her lose any weight, so what's the big deal? Seeing that the other party ignored his teasing, An Rusong felt a little embarrassed, not for anything else, but because he felt that he actually had a reaction.

To hide his embarrassment, he coughed dryly and said, "Commissioner Jenny, don't forget that the person sitting in front of you is the most genuine new rich man in the Republic of Korea in 2007. According to the company's valuation, the personal assets of this new rich man have exceeded 1 million US dollars. As a friend of such a new rich man, you should be ashamed of yourself for not being able to achieve financial freedom quickly. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Jenny looked at him with disdain, and after a moment, she said, “President An, do you mean to bribe me?”

"If I am planning to bribe you, then there should at least be a reason for me to bribe you, right?" An Rusong said with a smile, "Then tell me, if I bribe you, what convenience can you provide for me?"

Jenny remained silent.

"Of course, if you insist on thinking this way, it doesn't matter," An Rusong continued, "You can think this way. Well, my NGN and your NSA will always need to cooperate. At least for now, I think our cooperation is very pleasant, so I hope that the person representing NSA can always be you. Based on this, I don't want you to have any accidents, and I don't want you to be involved in some uncontrollable scandals. For this reason, I want to solve your insignificant financial troubles so that you will not be tempted by money and affect our cooperation relationship."

Jenny remained silent, but her pretty face showed a thoughtful expression.

"Of course, as a legitimate businessman, I will not bribe you in a crude and troublesome way like Wilder and his gang. After all, that is trouble in itself," An Rusong could see the other party's intention, so he continued, "What I call bribery is actually using a completely legal and compliant way to help my friend change his life. Believe me, we can withstand anyone's investigation on this point."

"Oh, tell me," Jenny finally spoke. She hugged her knees with her arms, looked at An Rushong with a smile, and said.

"As a mid-level employee of the NSA, our Specialist Jenny should be able to make some personal financial investments, right?" An Rushong asked with a smile.

"If you want to give me a chance to invest in NGN, then I can only thank you for your kindness," Jenny shook her head and said, "I don't want Leonard to cause trouble for me."

"No, no, no. It has nothing to do with NGN or me," An Rushong stood up from the sofa. He walked back to the back of the desk, opened the top drawer on the left, took out a business card holder, flipped through it roughly, pulled out an exquisite business card, and walked back to the sofa.

"If you believe me, go find the man on the business card," An Rusong handed the business card to Jenny, looked into her eyes and said, "No matter how much money you can come up with, give it to him to manage. Believe me, he will be able to double the amount in your personal account in no time."

Bending over and sitting back on the sofa, he added, "Although the speed of making money this way is not as fast as the business that Wilder and his team are engaged in, the advantage is that it is safe and legal. As long as you pay taxes according to the law, no one can cause trouble for you."

Jenny took the business card with a puzzled look on her face, looked at it in front of her eyes, and said in surprise: "Fund manager? You mean to say that I should put my hope of financial freedom on a fund manager? Are you sure?"

An Rusong nodded and said, "Of course, any questions?"

"In my opinion, none of those guys in finance can be trusted," Jenny said.

"Before you thought they were untrustworthy because they didn't need to trust you," An Rusong said without hesitation, "But it's different now. Take this business card and as long as my NGN company hasn't gone bankrupt and hasn't changed owners, you can trust them without any scruples."
