Chapter 321 Trajectory deviation?

Sungnyemun and Gyeongbokgung Palace have very special meanings for Koreans, who lack historical background but think they have a long history. To some extent, the status of these two in the minds of Koreans is like that of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City in the minds of Chinese.

Logically speaking, historical buildings like this should be the focus of national protection. Let alone if it was set on fire in the middle of the night, even if it was damaged, it should have been discovered immediately. But how can I say this? I can only say that this is South Korea.

Of course, whether Sungnyemun burned down or not was of no importance to An Rusong. He just wanted to know how much impact this incident would have on South Korea's political arena. Besides, it would be a shame if he didn't go to see the excitement at this time.

After changing his clothes as quickly as possible, An Rushong took his cell phone and went downstairs.

The living room on the first floor was empty, with no one in it. Instead, voices could be heard coming from the direction of the side hall, which was where Min Hyun-soo did people's makeup.

An Rushong came down from upstairs and listened in the living room for more than ten seconds. From the sound of conversation in the side hall, it seemed that they were talking about some kind of makeup style.

After a brief hesitation, he finally walked to the door of the side hall and looked inside.

As expected, in front of the dressing table in the side hall, a woman with a bun was sitting on a chair in front of the dressing table, and Min Xianxiu and Miss Cai, who had just sneaked to the second floor, were standing on both sides behind her. Min Xianxiu put his hands on the shoulders of the woman with the bun, and was bending over to look in the mirror in front of her, whispering something to the woman while looking.

Among the three women, only Miss Cai was facing the door. Perhaps because she had something to hide, when An Rushong looked inside, Miss Cai immediately noticed him. However, the woman did not say anything, but quickly looked away, pretending not to have seen him.

"Ahem," An Rushong first leaned over to take a look, then took a step towards the side hall door. He coughed lightly, attracting Min Hyun-soo's attention. Seeing the other party turning his head to look at him, he pointed in the direction of the living room, meaning to tell the other party that he was leaving.

His light cough attracted the attention of Min Hyun-soo and the woman on the chair at the same time. The moment the woman turned her head to look at him, An Rushong also saw the other person's appearance clearly.

Hmm? I don't know if it's an illusion, but this woman gave him a familiar feeling. It seemed that he had seen her somewhere, probably in a Korean TV series, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where.

Moreover, Min Hyun-soo did not give him time to think. After turning his head and seeing him, Min Hyun-soo patted the woman on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards An Rushong.

"What's the matter?" Min Hyun-soo asked curiously as he walked up to An Rusong.

"I have to go," An Rusong picked up the phone in his hand, shook it at her, and said, "There's a fire at Chongli Gate. The fire is very big. I'll go over and take a look."

This news was obviously quite shocking to Min Xianxiu. She subconsciously covered her mouth, widened her eyes, and exclaimed: "How could it be?"

An Rushong spread his hands and gave a helpless expression, which meant: How does he know?

"What's wrong, Sister Hyun-soo?" The woman sitting in front of the dressing table heard the exclamation. She turned her head to look at An Rushong and asked.

"It's okay," Min Hyun-su answered her, then turned around, took a step forward, leaned in front of An Rusong's face, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Then you go, I have to be busy for a while, I have to take care of the guests."

This simple action of hers undoubtedly showed the two women not far away the ambiguous relationship between her and An Rushong. Of course, she was not a person in the entertainment industry, so there was no need to hide such things.

After kissing her back on the face, An Rushong turned and left the side hall, heading straight for the villa entrance.

Outside the courtyard of the villa, a black Mercedes-Benz business car was parked on the side of the road. Luo Minzhi stood beside the car, looking far toward the southeast. In that direction, a red light could be seen in the distance. Without having to judge, An Rushong knew that was the direction of the South Gate.

Seeing him coming out of the villa, Luo Minzhi immediately walked to the car, opened the door for him, and said, "Secretary Yu called just now. He said that he called you before, but the call didn't go through, so he had to call me." An Rushong didn't stop and got into the car.

After closing the car door, Luo Minzhi got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away from the roadside. Then he continued, "He said that if it is convenient, Director Bai hopes you can come to his place. It seems that he has something to discuss."

The Secretary Yu he mentioned is Bai Jinjun's assistant Yu Yuanlong. This young man's position beside Bai Jinjun will become more and more prominent. In other words, his political future should be relatively bright.

"Take me there," An Rushong said as he adjusted his sitting position in the chair to make himself most comfortable.

Bai Jinjun contacted him at this time, probably because of the Chongli Gate fire. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party should hope that he could use the public opinion guidance function of the NGN software pop-up window to link the fire to the progressives, so as to further undermine the other party's public support.

Three points must be emphasized here: First, although Lee Min-bo won the new presidential election, it also represented that the conservatives defeated the progressives in the national election again after years of dormancy, but the confirmation of the presidency does not mean that the progressives will really remain silent.

In South Korea, although the president has great powers, the role of the National Assembly should not be underestimated. After all, the National Assembly has the power to impeach the president, and once the party to which the president belongs loses its majority seats in the National Assembly, the president's power will be greatly restricted, just like President Roh.

Therefore, even if Lee Min-bo officially takes office as president, he will have to continue to suppress the opposition progressive parties to prevent them from reviving during his term and tying his hands and feet, which would be embarrassing for him during his term.

Second, there is an interesting phenomenon in South Korea, that is, both the progressives and conservatives have their own staunch supporters, that is, they have their own base. The so-called base here is not only divided by region, but also by industry.

For example, the financial world to which the chaebols belong is basically on the conservative side, so the conservative side seems to be financially powerful. But at the same time, the progressives are also not weak, because the cultural and artistic world in South Korea is basically the territory of the progressives, that is to say, it is the progressives who hold the cultural hegemony and the social discourse power in South Korea.

In fact, we can see this from the highly talked-about TV series produced in South Korea. To be frank, in the TV series produced by South Korea itself, the chaebols and politicians are all criticized and their underwear has long been exposed. On the issue of North-South relations, most of South Korean TV series also advocate the integration of the North and the South. If you count them, movies such as "Joint Security Area", "Cooperation", "The Great Hidden", and "The Spy" are all about this theme. And well-known directors like Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho have clearly joined the progressive party group.

But if we look back and count them carefully, it is almost impossible to find any famous figures in the cultural and artistic circles who choose to stand on the side of the conservatives, or in other words, any film and television works that reflect the conservative political stance.

Therefore, over the past decade or so, conservatives have been competing with progressives for cultural discourse power, and the situation was the same in An Rushong's previous world, but with little success.

Third, one thing that must be understood is that not everyone within the conservative faction is united. It is divided into different political forces. As one of them, Li Minbo also needs to cultivate a public opinion guidance force that can truly stand on his side and completely maintain a unified position with him.

It is precisely because of this that An Rushong, as the chairman of NGN Company, is highly valued by Li Minbo. Of course, Bai Jinjun's kindness to him is also due to this reason.

In today's South Korea, all media have their own roots. Whether it's newspapers, TV stations or radio stations, they all have their own stance and background. It's like a piece of cake that has long been divided up by various forces.

An Rusong's NGN company, as a new force with media attributes and a very promising new force, will naturally attract attention from all parties. To put it bluntly, whether it is Li Minbo or Bai Jinjun, these people's close attitude towards him is not because he, An Rusong, is handsome and knows how to behave, but because he has enough value.

Luo Minzhi drove to Bai Jinjun's luxury villa. Along the way, he took the road to Namdaemun. However, when the car passed Chongli Gate, he saw that the fire on the city wall had been put out. With the help of the lights, he could see that the damage to the building on the city wall did not seem to be serious, at least it was not burned to the ground.

An Rushong still felt a little surprised, wondering if his memory of his previous life was wrong, because in his memory, Chongli Gate should have been completely burned down in the fire, that is, the two-story wooden building on the city platform was burned down, but looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem to be that serious.

Or is it that, because of the appearance of this time traveler, the trajectory of certain historical events has shifted?

That would not be a good thing for An Rushong.
