chapter 233
233 episodes. Giving up nationality means receiving severance pay.
Hak-Jun Jang was watching the live broadcast with a bewildered expression.
Because the unexpected happened one after another.
The biggest shock was by far the one that came from his nephew’s mouth.
– The slush funds are currently in the president’s saga, a secret underground place.
At the words that came out of Jang Min-soo’s mouth, Jang Hak-jun opened his eyes without realizing it.
“Hey, how did that bastard do that!”
Your own space that no one knows about.
It wasn’t a slush fund that was there, but an emergency fund that he had accumulated little by little over the course of half his life.
Aside from the amount, the location of the safe, which was more precious than anything else, had been leaked from the time I joined Daehyun.
It has also been turned into a slush fund for a resource diplomacy project.
-Wait. If you go to the basement, there will be a wine display stand. Push it and you will see a door with a lock. The password is 1219.
Jang Min-soo’s next words were shocking.
Not only do you know the exact location of the safe that even your wife does not know, but you also know the password!
I couldn’t believe it, but I just couldn’t stay like this.
‘I have to move it somewhere…’
Hak-Jun Jang took out his cell phone, shaking his hand, and stopped.
‘Wait, how do you trust others?’
Anyone who enters there will think of Dharma.
Because there is a lot of cash and gold bars piled up.
The guys who sent the errands might have conspired to steal it.
“Oh shit!!”
My teeth were chapped and my back was sore.
I couldn’t move it alone in the yard where the special committee ordered a search and seizure right now.
It was supposed to be the back money of the resource diplomacy project and was returned to the national treasury.
-Jiying. jii ing.
“Damn! What else!”
Hak-Jun Jang looked nervously at his phone and shut his mouth.
‘How did this old man know when he called?’
Zhao Chan, Chairman and CEO of Zhao Financial Group.
Judging from the phone call now, it seems that he was watching the hearing live in Singapore from afar.
Hakjun Jang did his best to calm his anger and answered the phone.
“Aigoo, Chairman. What’s going on since you called me directly?”
– You probably know that, don’t you? Are you watching the hearing broadcast?
“I didn’t know it was airing all the way to Singapore, haha. It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry. It’ll go away soon.”
-It’s not a big deal, is it even our group being talked about? It’s difficult if you do this.
Jang Hak-jun narrowed his forehead and accepted his words.
“Chairman, are you making a fuss about something like this right now? We have a relationship that’s been in business for decades, but it seems like you’re hasty.”
– He was the one who promised in the first place that there would be no problems. But publicly, the image of our group has been tarnished.
“Is it image damage? I don’t know since when Zhao Financial Group started looking for things other than money.”
Hak-Jun Jang sensed that he had turned away from his usual remarks.
But it was just a guess and I needed to confirm it accurately.
“I think your attitude towards me has changed, am I right?”
-Hahahaha, as expected, I can’t deceive the President. Yes, that’s it.
“Who is it? There’s no way that the president will betray me with just a hearing. Who is behind? It’s not Lee Dae-gon or Baek Jae-sung. Did Dae-hyun ever find out what he was working on? Is Dae-hyun behind him?”
With a soft laugh, Zhaochan asked again.
– Isn’t that great?
“What do you mean by that?”
– Even I, who has thick bones on this floor, cannot deceive the President, because that young friend has deceived me so perfectly.
“Young friend? Who…!”
In an instant, a person’s name and face came to mind in Jang Hak-jun’s mind.
Zhao-chan thought that he had guessed Jin Yu-seong, and left his last words.
– Now you know? It’s all his friend’s work. And thinking about my relationship, I called to let you know even now. If possible, put everything down and go abroad. Then you won’t spend the rest of your life in prison.
After the call was disconnected, Hak-Jun Jang leaned on the back of the sofa helplessly.
“Escape? I, the President of the Republic of Korea?”
If the data owned by Zhao Financial Group following Son Young-seok were added, it was like a pardon.
However, no matter how obvious the outcome, he had no desire to voluntarily resign as president.
‘How did you get to this place!’
I achieved most of what I wanted, and the final destination of my life was just around the corner.
But at the very end, it fell over.
to the unthinkable.
“It was all acting… Huh, heh heh.”
Laughter continued to flow through the empty office room.

“I enjoyed the hearing.”
Koh Sang-moon approached with two cups of coffee brewed by himself.
I took the cup he offered me and said.
“What.”
“I roughly guessed that Jang Min-soo would be used, but I didn’t know that all the assets would be open. Is it true that you leaked the word about the Royal Crown on the Internet?”
“You know me too well, don’t you? Haha.”
“Hell, if you want to get close to Jin, he’s far away. When did you get the Royal Crown?”
“It’s something I’ve been preparing for a long time. There’s nothing new about it.”
I put down my coffee cup and continued.
“But I heard that your brother is dead?”
“Yeah, I couldn’t tell you because it was during the hearing. After the funeral, they were enshrined in the incense house managed by the group.”
“So, now the manager has officially become the group’s heir?”
“Isn’t it funny in the world these days? My father, who didn’t budge no matter how great his performance, recognized me as soon as he passed away. I’m going to be promoted to vice president next year.”
“Anyway, congratulations.”
“Thank you. But how about giving a gift as well as congratulations?”
At Ko Sang-mun’s generosity, I asked with a smirk.
“Tell me if you want anything.”
“Logistics. Can you give us a positive review of our group?”
“I am thinking not only of GL, but also Bosco International and Seongsam C&T.
“Hey, I’m telling you that I want to increase the weight of that a little bit.”
“Are you going to add more? It wouldn’t be enough capa.”
“Actually, this time, we decided to take over Jinhan Shipping while having a deal with the floor leader Dae-gon Lee. So we have secured quite a few merchant ships.”
Jinhan Shipping, which is a troublemaker for the current administration.
It is said that he will take over it, join hands with Lee Dae-gon, and grow the business through a deal with All Mining.
I stuck my tongue out at Koh Sang-mun’s ability to catch two rabbits.
“Hahaha, that’s great.”
“In the meantime, I learned over the shoulder by watching CEO Jin.”
“Ugh, I’m getting chicken meat. Isn’t the father too harsh?”
“You won’t be able to get this level of lip service when you win a group contract.”
“Pooh, there’s plenty of food, so please stop. I can’t hear more.”
I rubbed my forearm to calm the chicken meat.
And said goodbye
“Thank you for that, sir.”
“I think I was really lucky to be with CEO Jin. The decision I made then was the best thing in my life. Thank you.”
Koh Sang-moon clasped my hands with both hands.

Hyatt Hotel VIP Room.
I was invited and headed there.
It was the place where Baek Jae-seong, the chairman of the new Democratic Party of Korea, had a secret conversation with Jang Young-joon.
When things went wrong at the hearing, it seemed that he was determined to move on his own.
“It’s really clever. I never thought I’d react that way.”
Baek Jae-seong poured his drink and continued.
“Minsu Jang changed his words, but above all, the unknown assets are that much. Have you deliberately made All Mining undervalued?”
“Yeah, so that everyone will be happy.”
At the time of listing, the information disclosed at the time of listing was Louis Hill, Gruyer, and Arcaringa.
Although all three sites were the largest burial sites in the world, it could only be said that Louis Hill was the only real value fully revealed.
It was because Gruyer emphasized the problem of sand as much as possible because Arcaringa had the uncertainty of shale oil.
In fact, it was at a level that could be overcome with the technology possessed by All-Tech, but there was a reason.
It was because he was preparing to face Lao Tinto and DHP Billion at the time.
So, now that the curtain has been removed, and the market capitalization is taken into account, its value is enormous.
Moreover, now that the UK has signed a contract with the Brent oil field, and in the future, it is predicted that the rights to British oil fields around the world managed by Royal Dutch Shell and British Petroleum will be transferred to All Mining. It could be said that there is room for
“Anyway, I was surprised. Maybe I learned what it’s like to press with money.”
Baek Jae-seong turned the Chinese turntable so that the filled cup was in front of me.
“Have a drink.”
“Because my philosophy is to have a good drink with good people. Could you tell me something about meeting me?”
“Hahaha, that could be bad enough. I would too.”
He poured his glass of wine to his lips and continued.
“I’ll tell you frankly. From what I heard from Chairman Jang, I heard that CEO Jin took more than 20 trillion won.”
“……”
“Even though he was naturalized, President Jin is also Korean, so I don’t think he will know that the money is the blood tax collected by the people through blood and sweat. Could you please return it through the unofficial route? Please bow your head like this.”
Baek Jae-sung got up from his seat and bowed his back to me.
It looked like he was appealing to justice in the name of serving the country, but it was not.
“Rep. Baek Jae-seong.”
“Yes, tell me.”
I said, pointing to his inner pocket.
“If you turned off the recorder and said something like that, it would have looked so beautiful.”
“……!”
“Turn it off. And…”
I jumped up and approached the statue on one side.
– Wajangchang.
The hidden camera was revealed through cracks in the smashed pieces that had been thrown to the floor.
“I’ll turn this off myself.”
He trampled on the shoe and crushed it, then sat down again.
Baek Jae-sung pressed the end button of the small recorder with an embarrassed expression and placed it on the table.
“Hmm, I’m sorry.”
“I have nothing to be sorry for. But, please, feel sorry for the people. Thanks to you, we’ve swept 25 trillion won in taxes.”
“……”
“Isn’t it funny that you are the representatives of the people? The opposition party is so frantic about overthrowing the government that it can’t even grasp the facts properly, and the ruling party, who has figured it out by chance or whatever, is thinking of collecting it and picking up crumbs and eating it. Because it is.”
Incompetence is a sin, and vulgarity is a sin.
If you are a politician who represents the people, shouldn’t you show your skills as well as set an example for others?
I stood up and said one last word.
“Thank you. I ate 25 sets and my stomach was bloated, but thanks to you, I seem to have digested it cleanly.”
Giving up nationality means receiving severance pay.

impeachment trial.
The president was removed from office for the first time in constitutional history by unanimous consent of the judges of the Constitutional Court.
The Republic of Korea was once again infested, and with that momentum, the first trial went through the Supreme Court decision in a swift manner.
“The original judgment is finalized on this trial, which was indicted on 16 counts, including bribery, loss of government treasury, tax evasion, embezzlement, and abuse of power under the Act on the Aggravated Handling of Specific Crimes.”
Hak-Jun Jang was sentenced to 17 years in prison, a fine of 13 billion won, and a fine of 5.78 billion won, and was put on a shroud.
His lawyer vomited blood.
“This is a hasty trial! There is not even a penny of money delivered to the President, so why is the truth recognized? This is a trial that seriously undermines the spirit of the law and is a political conspiracy!”
But no one listened to his voice.
