Gender Reversal Politics

9. Omen

Na Hye-ri, who had gained momentum once, was beating the mana coin with all her heart and soul.

She even appeared on the air and commented on what she had done.

“Yes. She brought the Financial Services Commissioner and the Director of the National Tax Service to the House of Representatives. Some say that she boasts of her strength, but she doesn’t mind…. Rather, I thought I was too late. We apologize for not intervening sooner.

She confidently disclosed that she had called the head of the Financial Services Commission and the National Tax Service.

“The Virtual Asset Basic Act to supervise virtual currency has not passed the National Assembly for the fourth year. The reason is because of the backlash from investors, but that is a poor excuse. Some lawmakers in important positions are blocking it.”

She didn’t mind shooting her colleague.

“You can also mention who you are by your real name. This is Seo Su-jin, a member of our Peace Party. She was the secretary of the Political Affairs Committee in the previous National Assembly, and she blocked the submission of related laws three times. Unfortunately for her, she secured evidence that he was entertained by Yesol Kwon, president of Mana Finance.”

Even members of the same party and standing committee were beaten.

From the point of view of being shot, it would probably be very absurd. Twice a week, I was suddenly attacked by a colleague who saw my face in the conference room. They weren’t even bad friends, they were just good friends.

Humans who became impatient because of these activities were looking for me who was easy going, not Na Hye-ri.

[Lee Soo-ho, elected president. I am a genital man. Why don’t you answer the phone? You haven’t forgotten who you got the proportional representation from, right? Politics is based on trust, so should we act like this as soon as we enter? The representative was very angry, so please visit us quickly and apologize.]

The party representative’s lover made a fuss about her master, saying that she was angry.

[Suho Lee. It’s mom I won’t say long, but I’ve received a lot of uncomfortable phone calls because of you. Don’t go against the advice of the superiors and be careful with your behavior. And if it’s okay, come home once in the evening. We saw each other once last year on Chuseok and we never met.]

… Even my mother came out. It didn’t seem like he was doing this because he was curious about my well-being. There must be someone asking what the mother of the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency is number 2.

For now, I ignored everything.

‘I don’t need to respond right now.’

However, they couldn’t even chew on the humans who appeared and attacked them.

“Rep. Suho Lee! Is the announcement made by Congressman Na Hye-ri today true? Did you really break it? Do you agree with the claim that Manacoin is a Ponzi scheme?”

Several executives from major media outlets pushed me against it. To be exact, half-leader level.

The number of political assistant reporters entering and leaving the National Assembly is 1,500… Most of them were reporters from media that sounded unfamiliar to me, who had worked in the National Assembly for four years. Because there are only 100 newspapers with the name Today.

However, when I was at the level of deputy general manager of a major media company, I had quite a bit of influence. They were women who ate lunch together with the members of the National Assembly.

‘Looks like he got it from Kwon Ye-sol as well as members of the National Assembly.’

It seemed that he ate that in abundance as well. The proof was that the attitude of asking me questions was too active.

“No, not the boss you serve now, but the boss you served in the past, who sells coins that break the new record point? If party politics is to mature, isn’t it rather wrong to act like that? Not a slave of any kind… ”

“Nobi, you talk a little bit.”

“… Oh, I misunderstood. Anyway, this time Congressman Na Hye-ri did too much. You shouldn’t use her juniors like this to raise the value of your own name. It seems to me that there was something like bullying, is that true?”

“There is no such thing. I sold it because I thought it was the right word.”

“Didn’t you just pretend to sell it?”

“… ….”

“It must be scary because he is someone he used to serve. I understand.”

It’s really easy.

I can roughly guess what the intention is. “I didn’t want to sell it, but Congressman Na Hye-ri ordered me to sell it,” He must have wanted to hear.

Or at least they’re going to pick up a comment with that nuance and write it as an article. That way, I, Hye-ri, would lose her cause. When you want to bury the topic, it’s most efficient to attack the messenger.

What is unusual is that even though the messenger, Na Hye-ri, is a big player, she is willing to attack.

‘Are you saying that Kwon Ye-sol is more frightening than getting disrespected by Na Hye-ri or a senior official? … No, to be precise, it must be scary that the hospitality he received is exposed.’

In this day and age, there was no way I could have received it in cash, and I didn’t even know if I received it in coins. Considering Kwon Ye-sol’s wealth, it won’t show even if he sprinkles billions of dollars.

Anyway, I had no intention of going over to their hidden questions. I put Hyeri in front of her, but I shouldn’t hit her in the back of the head.

“I wonder why reporters are so sure that Manacoin will go up.”

“That’s right, the trend is so good.”

“What is one or two gaps in virtual currency that collapses due to bad news while drawing beekeeping? You’ve already been through it twice. But is there any reason to treat only mana differently? …I don’t think it’s because it’s a coin issued by a Korean.”

“No. That’s why I ended up selling it. What is it? Some of that…!”

“I really sold it. And in the process, I was not subjected to undue pressure from Congressman Na Hye-ri. I agree with Congressman Na Hye-ri.”

“Really… I mean, I did it.”

The expressions of the reporters are rapidly becoming shaken up. Even one of them looked at me resentfully and sighed.

Still, the pressure was weaker than expected.

Well, reporters aren’t willing to do that either. They must be fretful in case a large-scale scandal will occur and they will be swept away along with it.

Back then, I kept repeating that I could just ignore it and move on.

“Is it true that you sold only after listening to Congressman Na Hye-ri?”

I turned around and saw one of the reporters giving me a strangely desperate look.

“Yes. Of course.”

“This is a bit strange. Na Hye-ri is not a person with special expertise in finance. Didn’t she get the information somewhere else? … Like the short selling force.”

“Na Hye-ri is a member of the National Assembly who has been active for six years. She doesn’t need a degree in financial engineering to talk about virtual currencies.”

“I can’t believe it.”

I just left because I couldn’t let go of my lingering feelings and wandered around. Because it’s foolish to have a face-to-face conversation with reporters for a long time.

However, in the midst of this, there was one fact that bothered me very much.

That the reporter just now belongs to a military organization, not a major media company.

It should not be ignored as a small media company, but the problem was that Kwon Ye-sol’s entertainment and reception were only high-ranking positions in major media companies. He was applying a similar standard to the legal and political world.

Ye-Sol Kwon used to question the class of the other party when entertaining, perhaps because Ji graduated from a prestigious university. Among them, especially academic punishment.

In the end, that reporter just wasn’t serving for Ye-Sol Kwon’s interests.

‘He must be the one who moves after being asked by politicians. That’s our party.’

Originally, when he was a member of the National Assembly, he often had at least one minor media that sucked him in. To export custom articles when needed. I would like to know what this is doing in this day and age, but the older leaders seemed to have a different idea.

The reporter who just pointed out to me was actually of that kind.

It was only then that the doubts in his heart felt resolved. Now I can understand why the higher ups were unnecessarily trying to get involved in the disposal of my coins.

*

It seems that the top of our party (the party representative with a high probability) tried to make me a scapegoat when the accident happened.

What would have happened if I had delayed the coin disposal as they intended?

Perhaps, right before the Manacoin exploded, a person sneaked in and suggested selling it to me. It’s like the high point, so it’s time to dispose of it.

Then I must have liked that I was familiar with it at the right time like an idiot. Maybe.

And if mana plummeted after that… They probably drove it to the point that I escaped at the last minute after receiving inside information. Some of our party’s gold badges, who were closely related to Kwon Ye-sol, would have avoided the danger by sacrificing me.

It could be said that it is so far between the same party, but tail cutting has been a long-standing tradition in this area. Every time a scandal erupted, more than one or two people got their tails cut off.

But this time I almost became the tail.

I guessed it roughly, but I couldn’t help it that my taste buds were getting bitter.

In a way, it must be evidence that the sense of crisis among the people involved is severe.

I thought that many people’s heads might be blown off because of mana. The people involved won’t just die, so it’s going to be a pretty noisy situation.

I didn’t feel sorry for her at all.

It’s a bit of an idiot that the whole political world can fall into a pit because of one coin, but the guy who is going to die should still die. No matter how many people were injured, Mana Coins were right to spread.

‘If it’s a human who tried to sacrifice me, I’ll have to send it away.’

Three more days passed while reflecting on myself.

Surprisingly, the market price of mana itself was still in good health.

72-Hour fluctuation rate +0.6% And trading value are all 1st in Korea’s 5 major exchanges. Far from falling, it was a strong uptrend. Rumors are circulating that the Financial Services Commission, under pressure from Na Hye-ri, will take action, so this is good… No, it was more than good.

The reason Mana didn’t collapse was, of course, because Kwon Ye-Sol was responding.

[The price stabilization mechanism in the Stellar-Mana ecosystem is intact. It would be better to wait for humanity to perish.]

She

Announced plans to raise more than $1 billion in additional funding from her partners and use it to buy her bitcoins as a reserve for her price defense. I didn’t know until the general election, but this was something Kwon Ye-sol had been doing since last year.

If this was a good thing, it would be a good thing, but to me it felt like a precursor to something.

It seemed that catastrophe was approaching.
