Gender Reversal Politics

22. Bomb

“Councilor Hyeri Na. The Peace Party will collapse. It will probably go through a wave of re-creation.”

Right before I explained my plan, I said it to Na Hye-ri in a confident tone.

Na Hye-ri recalled a faint smile.

He probably thinks I’m rushing. No matter how big the issue is, it was too much to conclude that the party would collapse. The Peace Party is not a flimsy new party, but a party that boasts a history of more than 60 years.

“Suho. I’m not ignoring that….”

“I know. How did you survive scandals worse than this in the past?”

“Yes…. It’s an embarrassing confession to be honest, but my mother said that she was involved in managing the presidential campaign funds when she was young. Since she was openly taking political funds from chaebols, she said that she used to collect money by allocating the amount to each company?”

I never thought you would bring up the story of your mother. You’re trying to calm me gently. I was so grateful that I decided to listen for a while.

“The amount collected at that time exceeded 50 billion won. It’s still a lot of money, but at the time it was a huge amount. Because of that, after the presidential election, even a special prosecutor was carried out…. But do you know what the result was?”

“I would have arrested three or four incumbent members of the National Assembly and ended it vaguely.”

“Similar. Gates are just like that. The first time it explodes, it seems like the country will be turned upside down, but it will inevitably wither over time.”

It sounds old, but the reality was like that. The case that Congressman Hye-ri Na mentioned is very old, but nothing has improved.

“I know. If left alone, only two or three people who received and ate directly from Kwon Ye-sol would fly away. CEO Park Ha-sun and his closest aide?”

“At least there is no way to fly coolly. If you drag on, it will take at least two years for a final judgment to fall and you to lose your seat as a member of the legislature, maybe?”

It was a cynical declaration that there is no cider in reality.

Neither I nor Hyeri must feel disgusted by her co-workers who threatened her. But she wasn’t so naive that she didn’t know how difficult it was to punish them. There must be political genes inherited from her mother.

But there was one thing she didn’t know about me or Hyeri.

“Yes. Congressman. If left alone, the Peace Party will not be driven into the process of restructuring.”

“Why do you say that when you know it?”

“But if you destroy it from the inside out, it will be a different story. To be honest… What I will present in a moment is also closely related to the Peace Party. It’s not just Kwon Ye-sol.”

“… ….”

“Considering the attention now focused on me, I could do it alone, but if Congressman Na Hye-ri helped me, the work would be many times easier. In a few days, a situation may arise in which the leadership of the Peace Party resigns en masse.”

Na Hye-ri faintly frowned as if she had a sense of what I was thinking.

She was silent for a while, but not very long.

“Suho. May I ask why you are raising things like this? Perhaps because of what CEO Park was trying to do with you as a cannon fodder?”

“It’s not irrelevant. You can’t just sit still and suffer. But in the end, it will be beneficial for you as well.”

“How?”

“After the current leadership spreads, there will be a huge gap. At that time, if the congressman behaves appropriately, it will be possible to seize the party. Politicians with a decent weight will fall en masse because of this.”

Na Hye-ri The invitation to destroy the leadership with your own hands and then take control of the party. I did not mean to wait for the next opportunity after CEO Park Ha-sun flew away and ask the Brigade Chairman to wait for a while.

“Suho. I comrades… No, of course, they are not like comrades, but anyway, can you even seize power right after blowing the same party members?”

“It would be rather possible if they didn’t acknowledge it and operated on it cruelly.”

I don’t think Na Hye-ri keeps asking because she doesn’t know either.

Even so, she hesitates because seizing power is not her goal. In the first place, Hyeri and I didn’t start politics because she wanted to. She just feels like she inherited it because she’s a politician.

However, this was not the time to renounce power.

“… I’m sorry, Senator, but for your own safety, you must hold more power in your hands. Just a month ago, you couldn’t have imagined that someone would dare to threaten you, right? But now, that’s what happens in real life.”

“Well, at this rate, even my retired mother seemed to be dragging out the momentum.”

“Before that, it is better for you to hit first.”

Na Hye-ri let out a shallow sigh at these words. She still had no sign of reprimanding me. It seemed like they recognized that I didn’t raise my work because I wanted to grow it this way.

“Okay. Please tell me the details.”

You can say thank you in a proper manner later. First of all, Na Hye-ri had something to do urgently.

It was to maximize the topicality of the announcement of the entrance statement scheduled after a while.

*

After Lee Suho was let go of the office.

Na Hye-ri immediately called one of her fellow lawmakers.

“I calmly persuaded him, and Lee Soo-ho also understood it. Do not worry.”

The opponent is Yang Moon-sook, a member of the fourth term. On the outside, she was a pretty middle-aged woman with a young, forty-feeling flair, but she was one of the powerful leaders.

“Whew. I’m glad. I’m really glad … So, what about that 30 billion?”

“I think I will donate to the right place… It will be announced at the Jeongron Hall soon, so let’s watch it.”

“Good idea! Thanks, really.”

Although she seems to be flattered like that now, Yang Moon-sook was actually the person who hinted at Na Hye-ri’s exposure of the s*xual scandal.

On the surface, it wasn’t a threat, but she seemed worried, saying, “Did you say something like this?”, But her hidden intentions were obvious. She warned him that if he did not restrain Lee Su-ho, she would feed him taffy.

Actually, Yang Moon-sook was a talented person who could do that. It was because she was the incumbent floor leader. She meant the two leaders leading the party together with the party representative.

The reason why such a well-to-do person suddenly mobilized an irrational number to pressure Na Hye-ri was fixed. That she has something to do with it.

I, Hyeri, intended to tell the truth about her here. It was what Suho Lee had requested.

“Rep. Moon-sook Yang. No, senior Now let’s be honest. Did she get it in an envelope? Or split?”

“hahahaha. Suddenly.”

“Don’t laugh at me. Is she in a situation to laugh now?”

“… ….”

“I didn’t want to blush with my seniors, so I tried to persuade Lee Suho’s friend, but to be honest, it was a little distasteful. If she didn’t have a desperate situation with her senior, it seems that her back end will last a very long time. It’s all over, so tell me honestly.”

At this request, Yang Wen-suk smacked her lips. She must have realized too late that she had crossed her line.

“Rep. Na Hye-ri. That’s true.”

“Don’t you want to talk? It doesn’t do that much to me.”

“No, not that.”

Na Hye-ri took out her smartphone and put it on the table to urge the hesitant Moon-sook Yang. She showed her will not to do anything dirty (recording or connecting calls).

‘Of course I’m actually doing it.’

She was Yang Moon-sook, who didn’t know that and started to open her mouth. If that’s the case, then she shouldn’t even be messing with it in the first place. I, Hyeri, clicked her tongue.

“… Phew. In fact, President Park Ha-sun gave it to me during the general election ceremony. I handed over an envelope of money, saying that I know the financial situation is difficult. Hey, is there a post office envelope? She thought it was an encouragement money and took it without thinking, but when she opened it, it contained 10 million won.”

“The amount is too large for an incentive.”

“I didn’t even want to return it, so I just wrote it. But as I found out later, they say that the money came from Kwon Ye-sol? … Oh, I really didn’t know and got it.”

“Couldn’t it be that CEO Park gave it only to seniors?”

“Ah, that means…! There are only seven people I know. Representative Park was really diligently spraying ahead of the general election. Park Hye-jin, Lee Hwi-sun… Oh, and there is Kim Min-ji, who is now the chief secretary, right? Did he bypass civic organizations and receive 100 million each? I recognized it.”

Yang Moon-suk lists the names of the accomplices who received money envelopes or split donations from Park Ha-sun. She had a very sad expression on the subject she had received.

‘There’s no need to point this out right now.’

She was me, Hyeri, who patiently listened to the complaints that followed.

Right after that, she pointed to the monitor on the other side of her office.

“Hey, here comes our Suho.”

In fact, Suho Lee appeared on the news screen.

Normally, broadcasting stations don’t broadcast live when a Chosen appears in the Jeongron Hall, but the situation was different now. It was because Kwon Ye-sol did not appear during the 24 hours announced by Lee Su-ho. There is no choice but to be curious about where 30 billion is used.

“It did look cute…. But it must be hard to find a partner because your physique is so good. If a boy exercises too much, he won’t be able to use it.”

Yang Moon-suk smiled like an asshole with an expression without tension.

‘You must believe me.’

However, the words that came out of Lee Soo-ho’s mouth after a while completely went against the expectations of those involved.

– “Kwon Ye-sol ignored my request. Actually, it was expected from the beginning.”

– “Although I am very sorry, Kwon Ye-sol will not appear voluntarily in the future. Also, even if the investigation begins in earnest, it will not be easy to catch. Because Kwon Ye-sol’s bribed powerful people will continue to interfere.”

– “It is truly devastating, but many of those who sheltered or sheltered Kwon Ye-sol are members of the Peace Party, to which I belong…. We secured a statement that Representative Park Ha-sun used the funds received from Kwon Ye-sol to deliver 10 million won in cash to Rep. Moon-sook Yang, the representative of the floor, and 100 million won to Rep. Min-ji Kim, the chief secretary, as a so-called split sponsorship. In addition, many incumbent members… “

Lee Soo-ho suddenly starts to expose the corruption of the Peace Party.

It was the information Na Hye-ri just plugged in in real time. It is about 10 times more powerful to specify the real name and amount than to raise suspicions in a roundabout way.

Yang Moon-sook’s face quickly turned pale after eating the candy out of nowhere.

“Na Hye-ri! What the hell is this?”

If you do well, you will be able to hit it one-on-one. Na Hye-ri just laughed.

“It will be noisy from tomorrow. Because the party representative and the floor leader wrote corruption charges on good terms.”

“Crazy b*tch! … Oh, what kind of lightning is this?”

Ignoring Yang Moon-sook, who ran amok, Na Hye-ri focused on the news screen. Jo Jin Lee Su-ho, who used the real names of several senior members of the National Assembly, was already getting into the subject.

– “… In fact, I was thinking of only finding out where Kwon Ye-sol was and then donating 30 billion won for public interest and forgetting about this situation. But she realized that it would be irresponsible to let her hand in a situation where she did not know how many political figures were co-opted.”

– “So, I changed my mind. He said that it would be better for me to step in and contribute to the pursuit of Ye-Sol Kwon. I decided that was a way to make up for the sins my mother had committed and fulfill her responsibilities as a member of the Peace Party.”

Neither the party nor the administration dominated by the party can be trusted, so it was followed by a declaration that they would find Kwon Ye-sol “Somehow” Using 30 billion won as military funds.

Although it was said to be a contribution, it is practically the same as saying that it will be dedicated.

‘Under normal circumstances, it would have sounded like nonsense.’

But now it doesn’t sound like bullsh*t at all. The situation of the Peace Party, which suddenly turned into a trash can, was more absurd.

– “Kwon Ye-sol, I will definitely find it! And we will find out all the truth about this situation.”

Her former secretary, Lee Soo-ho, was just trying to find a way to survive in this chaotic world.
