Chapter 304 Military Service Notice
Chapter 304 Military Service Notice
Jenny naturally understood what he meant in a second, but she was still a little uneasy, so she asked again, “Are you sure?”
"Very sure," An Rusong said.
"My savings are limited. You won't leave me penniless, will you?" Jenny continued.
"Give him your savings," An Rusong said with a smile, pointing to the business card in her hand. "He has many clients and manages a lot of funds, but I can assure you that even if all his clients go bankrupt, you won't lose anything."
"Remember, you must take this business card with you," he said, emphasizing, "because this business card has been kissed by an angel, and it represents luck."
Jenny certainly wouldn't believe his plan, but she wasn't a fool, so she could figure out the trick. There was no fund manager who was guaranteed to win, nor was there a trader who would always make money, but for a fund manager, it was not difficult to make a client of his make money all the time.
She was sure of one thing: even if she didn't pay a penny, the fund manager on the business card could make her money, but it was hard to say whether the money came from investments or from somewhere else.
She could even assert that this was An Rusong bribing her, and he just used a very covert, circuitous, and not easily noticed way to achieve the purpose of the bribe. Or to put it more bluntly, the so-called fund manager was actually a transit point. An Rusong would give his money to the fund manager, and then the fund manager would attribute some successful investment projects to her, and transfer the money from An Rusong to her account in the name of dividends.
Yes, Jenny knew everything in her heart, but she would not say it because she needed money. If she was really the kind of selfless person who refused to accept bribes, she would not have had any dealings with those drug dealers in military uniforms before.
As for An Rushong, the reason why he was so eager to put money into Jenny's pocket was naturally not because he was stupid and had a lot of money. He was just bribing this woman. As for the purpose of the bribery, he had already said it before - Jenny was the contact between NSA and NGN. For An Rushong, getting closer to Jenny would definitely be beneficial and not harmful.
As for the question of whether it is worth spending money, haha, for An Rushong today, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is really not a problem.
Think about it, he and Jenny have a life-and-death friendship. If the two sides establish some kind of interest connection, then one day in the future, if there is any conflict between him and the NSA and the other party wants to target him, he may be able to get some information from Jenny first.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of information cannot be bought with money.
"Okay, I believe you." Jenny twirled the business card between her fingers and put it into her bag. Then, she put her legs down from the sofa and said while putting on her high heels, "I'll contact him later."
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, An Rusong also stood up with her and said, "One last, very presumptuous question."
Jenny put on her high heels, stomped her feet on the spot, then tilted her head to look at him, obviously waiting for him to ask the question.
"Is our Commissioner Jenny short of money?" An Rushong asked.
Jenny didn't answer the question directly. She picked up the windbreaker that was placed aside, put it on, and adjusted the hem before saying, "What kind of job do you think I'm doing now? Do you think anyone would be willing to do this kind of job if they had a choice? So, what I want to do now is to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, then quit this damn job and enjoy life to the fullest."
She took a step sideways and walked out from between the coffee table and the sofa. She shook the front of her windbreaker and finally said, "Sometimes I really want to crush the heads of you rich people. It seems that in your eyes, workers like us should enjoy poverty."
"Come on, a few months ago, I was a poorer person than you," An Rushong spread his hands and laughed.
Jenny ignored him and just picked up her bag and walked towards the door.
"Let's go!" She didn't raise her hand until she was almost at the door, then waved it casually and said.
Watching the woman walk out of his office, through the corridor of the office area, and finally disappear outside the glass sliding door, An Rushong's lips twitched slightly and a faint smile flashed across his face.
After declining the invitation from Jenny on behalf of Wilder and his men, An Rusong felt refreshed. He did not lie in front of Jenny. He really did not want to get too close to Wilder and his men. His past life told him that what they did would be exposed sooner or later. They were American soldiers stationed in South Korea and could enjoy judicial immunity, so they naturally had no taboos. But An Rusong would inevitably be implicated. Apart from anything else, the condemnation of public opinion alone would be enough to make him suffer.
The most important thing is that those guys are really ruthless and can do anything for money. From the background, they are involved in the US military. It's like stacking buffs, they have to stack them up, okay? Who would go around them normally?
Picking up the cigarette on the coffee table, An Rushong turned back to the desk. Just as he sat down on the chair, he saw Jiang Xiuyuan's figure appear in the corridor of the office area. She was holding something in her hand and walking hurriedly towards the office.
An Rushong glanced at her, reached out to take a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it for himself, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jiang Xiuyuan quickly walked to the door of the office. She reached out and knocked on the door. Without waiting for An Rushong to speak, she pushed the door open and walked in quickly.
"Brother Rushong, this is a notice from the Military Manpower Department," the girl walked in and quickly walked to An Rushong's desk. She handed the thing in her hand to An Rushong and said with a worried look on her face.
Only then did An Rushong realize that what she was holding in her hand was a large red and blue envelope. He recognized it at a glance because his predecessor had received it once. Well, this was the notice issued by the Military Manpower Department requiring him to serve in the military.
No wonder Jiang Xiuyuan looked so worried, because this thing was like a death warrant, and in this damn place, Korea, no man could escape.
In fact, An Rusong's predecessor had received this thing four years ago, when he had just arrived in Seoul. However, at that time, his brothers and sisters were not yet adults, and his family was very poor. He had to earn money to supplement the family expenses, otherwise, the family would not be able to make ends meet. Therefore, according to regulations, his military service period was postponed.
Now, four years later, he is already 23 years old, and two of his younger brothers have grown up. According to regulations, it is time for him to serve in the military.
With a frown, he took the envelope from Jiang Xiuyuan's hand. Just as he was about to open the seal of the envelope with a paper cutter, he heard the phone on the table ringing.
Looking at the screen of his mobile phone, the call was from his mother. An Rushong thought about it and guessed that Ruze and Ruyu had also received military service notices. According to regulations, even if they could not serve in the military temporarily, they had to take part in the so-called "exam", which was actually a physical examination and screening. An Rushong's predecessor had also gone through the same process.
He handed the envelope back to Jiang Xiuyuan and pointed at the paper cutter he had just taken. An Rushong reached out and took the phone and put it to his ear.
Just as Jiang Xiuyuan took the paper cutter and was about to cut open the seal of the envelope, An's mother's voice came from the phone.
Just as An Rushong guessed, Ruze and Ruyu also received military service notices from the Military Manpower Department, asking them to go to a designated location to take an "examination" before mid-March in preparation for military service screening.
Anyone who is Korean knows that being in the military is a real life-threatening thing. This is no joke. Almost every year, there are reports of new recruits committing suicide. Low pay, poor food, bullying, sexual assault, etc. are common in the Korean military. Some people have even made a special comparison and believe that the treatment of prisoners in Korean prisons is slightly better than that of soldiers in the army.
Because of this, in South Korea, people will not do military service if they have a choice. Why do athletes like that openly act shamelessly in the arena? They don't really care about the gold medal, but because after winning the gold medal, they can be exempted from military service. So, they act shamelessly to avoid military service, not for the honor.
However, to be honest, in Korea, especially in these days, it is not easy to evade military service. For example, the current Samsung Chairman Lee also wanted to evade military service, but he was chased to his home by the Military Manpower Administration and dragged away. As the heir of Samsung, he eventually had to train in the army for 40 days.
On the phone, An's mother's implicit meaning was that she wanted An Rushong to think of a way to see if the military service of his two younger brothers could be postponed - that's right, in the old lady's concept, there was no idea of letting her two sons escape military service, she just wanted to postpone it and let the children join the army when they are older.
While An Rushong was talking to his mother, Jiang Xiuyuan also took out the military service notice in the envelope and looked at the contents. As expected, just as An's mother said on the phone, the Military Manpower Department required An Rushong to report to the corresponding military service department before mid-March to officially serve in the military.
After ending the call with An's mother, An Rusong rubbed his temples, then glanced at Jiang Xiuyuan, who was full of worry, and smiled: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
