Chapter Seventy-Eight: Past and Present (II) Grand Chapter

He asked the practical question, "What are Mr. Wen's plans after he resigns?"

"I've said before that I'm going to focus on party work!" Moon Jae-in said with a smile, "Ahn Joon-hyuk Xi has been watching the news recently, since the victory of the Grand National Party, it is the fighting spirit that is high, and the left-wing has also gained momentum, and now some left-wing leaders frequently appear on TV and on the streets, selling their promises and ideas to the people, and the progressives are in danger!"

Seats in central bodies such as the National Assembly are important to a party, but in reality, local elections are the foundation of a party's existence, because it involves the executive power of the constituency in the general election of the National Assembly and the presidential election.

General suffrage and general elections are not a unified mobilization of voters, but within a certain period of time, in the constituencies divided by provinces (the administrative level is equivalent to our province) through various ways to win voters, this method is conducive to the concentration of propaganda power and expand the results, but the disadvantage is that it needs to be subject to the strength of local administration.

In a certain constituency, whether or not there is administrative strength to cooperate, or how much to cooperate, directly affects the effectiveness of publicity.

For example, Busan, the traditional strength inherent in the left-wing parties, has been an important factor in preventing conservative camps such as the Grand National Party from falling apart under the attack of progressives. South Korea has 16 constituencies at the administrative level equivalent to Busan Metropolitan City (similar to a municipality), of which there will be as many as 228 county-level administrative powers, 761 regional councillor seats, and nearly 4,000 public seats.

But just last year, progressives lost 15 of their 16 districts. Only one seat was won, only 19 of the 228 local administrative seats were won, and the number of public seats was even more lost.

Ahn Joon-hyuk's mind flowed through the data and Moon Jae-in continued, "...... The defeat that has become a foregone conclusion cannot be reversed, so the most urgent task now is to resolve the contradictions and differences between the two parties as soon as possible and to unite the strength of the two parties in one place. Otherwise. I'm afraid the future of my progressives is bleak. ”

As he spoke, he sighed heavily.

No wonder he is so miserable, it is really forced by the situation, at the end of this year. The five-year presidential election is about to begin. And next year. The four-year general election in the National Assembly is about to begin, and at this critical moment, when local seats have already been lost, the pressure on parties to survive is unprecedentedly great. If we continue to fight happily and do not unite, then there will be almost no suspense about continuing to fail, and when that time comes, what will so many party members who are concentrating on politics rely on? The financial pressure alone will be overwhelming!

From this point of view, the two parties forced Roh Moo-hyun to quit the party, not only because of differences in ideas, but also because people of insight in the party were forced to survive.

…… A strong man broke his wrist......

Ahn Jun-hyuk quietly picked up a glass of wine and drank it down. I don't know who is the person who unified the opinions of the two parties and demanded that Roh Moo-hyun quit the party to protect himself, and his heart is so decisive and tenacious. If we discard the influence of reputation, this method is indeed a clever way to save the progressives, sacrificing Roh Moo-hyun alone, but preserving the vitality of the entire progressive force.

However, they ignore human nature......

Thinking about a part of the future foreshadowed in the dream, Ahn Junhyuk's eyes are deep. Those people would not have thought that Roh Moo-hyun would be in such great trouble, that the chaebols hated him to the core, and that the pro-American forces were even more disgusted with him, and after he abdicated, the reckoning would flock away.

They would never have imagined that Roh Moo-hyun's temperament was so strong, and when he was cornered and pointed out by Qianfu, this idealist, who was criticized by the party as "politically naΓ―ve and chaotic" and "cowardly" by the radicals, proved his innocence to the people and martyred himself in the most courageous and pious way.

Between life and death, there is a great terror!

Life and death can still be abandoned, everything in the past will naturally disappear, and at that time, it will be a disaster for the right!

……

……

For Park Young-joon, tonight's events have shocked his mind, and although he has been in contact with the government when he was in charge of J.H Entertainment, in the past, J.H was still a purely commercial organization, far from politics.

In any case, he did not expect that Jun-hyuk had already been linked to political power, and seeing that Moon Jae-in was not taboo when talking about political affairs, the two sides might be more involved than he saw.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that he didn't expect J.H security, which was inconspicuous in the group before, to suddenly be so important!

Hearing that Ahn Joon-hyuk arranged for him and Jeon Byung-kook to attend the hearing, Park Young-joon's heart beat rapidly, and his head was running rapidly, although there was no detailed reference, but he instantly thought of the dynamics of the US military stationed in South Korea at the end of the year. That was not uncommon news, because he only saw the newspaper this morning, and the order issued by the US Congress to dismantle the US military bases in South Korea was initially implemented, and the first batch of eight bases began to prepare for evacuation.

An investigative article in the Chosun Ilbo newspaper said that people in the Gyeonggi Province region are worried about the withdrawal of US troops, and some people are worried that it will cause unrest.

With this understanding, and then contacting Ahn Joon-hyuk and Moon Jae-in's "military security list", "company", and "Jeon Byung-kook" revealed in their remarks, if you can't think of what the so-called hearing is, Park Young-joon will have lived in vain all these years.

At present, there are more than 70 US military bases stationed in South Korea (including combat support facilities and shooting ranges, etc.), involving as many as 30,000 military personnel, and according to reports, the evacuation order this time is not only the withdrawal of personnel, but also includes the adjustment of the inter-Korean buffer zone, preparing to relocate the nine main battle bases located on the 38th parallel to the hinterland of South Korea.

The evacuation, relocation, and construction of such a project will take a long time, and the large number of people involved will make the security task extremely heavy, and the South Korean government will probably have to invest hundreds of billions of won in this project to ensure that the situation is stable.

Even if some bases in South Korea have already signed security agreements and will cooperate in security work, with the strength of J.H Security's expansion in recent years, if they can win this list. I'm afraid it's enough to eat a budget of 2-300 million US dollars!

The moment this number emerged, Park Yingjun's breathing was heavy!

What is the most difficult problem facing J.H now? Not all aspects need money, J.H music development needs money, J.H entertainment development needs money, J.H network shelves have also been erected, Kim Jung-wook has gone to Facebook in the United States for a four-month study last month, and it will cost money when he comes back, not to mention, the Gmarket acquisition, Interpark has been relieved. It may not be long before the two parties reach an intention to initiate a takeover offer.

Financial pressures. For them who have just accepted J.H's administrative work, it is really a big trouble that they can't start, and if it weren't for the recent pressure, he wouldn't be facing the power of the palace. Tough opposition to J.H Music's next expansion plan β€” and there's a lot of money to be made.

But now he sees the light!

$2 to $300 million. Just take it. A lot of the problems are no longer a problem...... What's more, everything was already in place, and there was only one formality hearing. Ahn Joon-hyuk designated him as the person to attend the hearing, as long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, then ......

…… That's a lot of credit......

Park Yingjun took a deep breath, with such a credit, many of the troubles he faced in the past period of time were naturally solved!

Thinking like this, his gaze at Ahn Junhyuk was a little complicated, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

But at the banquet, there was no way to think about these things, Moon Jae-in and Ahn Joon-hyuk were talking about some political things, and it was impossible for him to keep drinking all the time, and after quickly adjusting his mentality, he took the initiative to pour wine and food for the two.

Glancing at him, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was silently listening to Moon Jae-in talk about some party affairs, nodded slightly.

Today in the office, I mentioned to Park Yingjun when he was a child, and asked him if he had any grievances, not without purpose, just to pave the way for this moment, he sent away Kim Jung-wook, who was originally in charge of this work, in advance, and threw the most popular candidate to attend the hearing to Park Yingjun, just to give him a share of credit, so that he would not be overwhelmed by Kwon Po-geun.

It seems that he has understood his intentions, and he has not wasted all his painstaking efforts.

To be honest, compared to Kwon Bo-geun, who has more than ten years of experience in office struggles, Park Young-jun is indeed much more tender, if it weren't for the fact that he is a relative and has the friendship when he was a child, Ahn Jun-hyuk would not have pulled this hand.

If he is smart, when he is forced to the palace by the power treasure root, he should lie dormant to look for opportunities, and he should learn to use his own "big Buddha" -- he is soft, and he will naturally balance the relationship between the two sides and interfere! In any case, he has the advantage of giving priority to the administrative hierarchy, and although he has lost his prestige for a while, he has a way out, and it is the first task to preserve the vitality and prepare for the comeback.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and there are still roundabout strategies and 36 strategies for fighting, so there is no need to blindly be tough to the end.

All kinds of thoughts flowed under his calm face, this kind of method, if it was Ahn Junhyuk in the dream, would never be used. That Ahn Jun-hyuk's creed is to become a king and defeat a villain, push himself and others, and his attitude towards his subordinates is the same, "he" does not raise the weak, so there will be a backlash later......

……

Bang!

The smoke filled the air, the darkness receded like a tide, and Yuna sat up from the bed suddenly.

In the quiet room, the night seems to render the space like ink, the girl gasped, her pupils dilated because of panic, in the blurry neon changes outside the window, reflecting the familiar furnishings around her, and then slowly began to shrink, and the fierce heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"Whew!"

With a long sigh of relief, Yuna relaxed and lowered her shoulders that were shrugged due to nervousness, leaned lightly on the head of the bed, and stroked the corner of her forehead with one hand, where cold sweat had already wet her hair.

Turning on the lamp at the head of the bed, the orange light bloomed and shone on the side of the window, and it seemed that it was snowing again, and through the background paint of the night, the transparent glass was like a mirror, reflecting some traces of ice climbing up the corner of the window edge.

I'm having that dream again!

Since the first dream, all this time, the same dreams have always appeared, the stage, the crowd, the red carpet, the gunshots. In the dream, she seems to have forgotten everything now, forgot Ahn Junhyuk, forgot Ahn Ji-so, forgot everything since 04, Lin Yuna is still Lin Yuna, but the life she has experienced seems to be completely different.

Except for the fixed dream with the sound of gunshots. Sometimes she dreams of some messy fragments, with herself on the stage, the lights casting strong shadows, and herself sitting in front of a gorgeous mirror, the glass-colored mirror reflecting her delicate face...... The pictures are messy, and they are connected to each other, changing as if they were a real life.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't understand why she had such a dream, she didn't understand why she dreamed that he and Jisoo were in the crowd. Poured under the smoke of gunpowder.

I don't understand it even more. In that dream, Ahn Jun-hyuk never appeared in her life, the only intersection was suffocatingly far away from each other - a red carpet. A stage. A crowd of people. The moment the gunfire rang out, but it was a separation that could never be touched!

…… Are we doomed to have no results......?

I thought about it for a while. Somewhat superstitious to come to such a conclusion, Yuna rolled over and got out of bed in frustration, twisted the lamp on her desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out her notebook.

It's been a while since I've written a diary, and the unique fragrance of the paper comes to my nose with the opening of the book, rubbing the delicate glossy surface, Yuna sits at the desk, stunned for a while, and then writes the words-

Determine the relationship...... It's been more than a week.

Time flies so fast, and in the impression, we seem to still maintain the original boundaries, and the impression in front of us seems to be still stuck in the wind and snow that day, and it always feels unreal.

Oh, the inexplicable doubts are probably the reason for the dream.

Another dream, in the past few months, I often dream that I am standing on a stage, and in the sound of music, I and Sister Taeyeon have become a group called Girls' Generation, bouncing and facing the crowd. The dream is so real, after waking up, it seems that you can still hear people's cheers, and the most lurid sound of the dream...... Terrible gunshots!

I didn't understand what this dream portended, and I didn't dare to tell anyone, but I just thought, maybe it's because of my uneasiness?

After all, I should be a third party...... I......

The next words, but I couldn't write anymore, the tip of the pen pressed heavily on the paper, the ink smudged open, the light was faintly swaying, and the girl under the lamp was full of confusion.

After sitting for a while, the diary that could no longer be remembered was finally closed, and there was a lot of sweat in the dream, and before going to sleep again, the girl who felt that her mouth was relatively dry, went out to find some water to drink, and came to the living room, and the darkness of the night was still thick.

Turn on the light, pour a cup of boiling water, put it on the coffee table and wait quietly for it to cool, some chaotic thoughts are running aimlessly again, here is as warm as spring, but her heart is like the wind and snow raging outside the window.

It looks violent, but it's actually messy.

In the girl's mind, many things have not yet formed a fixed cognition, just like looking down from this high place, the snow curtain covers the city, the gap between the buildings is no longer the territory of the simple night sky, and the flying snowflakes scatter the many, or far away, or very close lights, making them foggy, like oil paint in the water, chaotic together, it is impossible to tell which is the street lamp, which is neon, which orange is the window that stages the various states of life.

In such weather, sitting cross-legged on the floor, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the various colors in the chaos finally turn into indistinguishable darkness, the lights shining here are like a lonely lighthouse in the dark, some warm, more independent of the fear and cold in the darkness.

Whenever she thought about it, she felt like a lost child walking in the wilderness.

If you can't find the direction, where will you go forward, where will you go backwards? To the left, or to the right? The space spreads out to the end of the field of vision, and with the body as the center, you can divide 360 roads, each of which is a possibility.

There are so many options to choose from, so I don't know what to do!

I'm so tired when I've grown up......

Closing her eyes a little tiredly, the girl leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to the sound of snow falling outside, as if from another world......

When I woke up again, I was woken up.

In the hazy perception, someone gently pushed her, a slight sense of weightlessness ruled the body, the girl blinked her hazy eyes, opened her eyes, and saw Oppa crouching in front of her, the light crossed his shoulder, and the orange light reflected in her retina, bringing a slight dizziness and psychedelia.

For a moment, she almost thought it was a dream, and she stared blankly until he laughed, "Silly girl, why are you asleep here?"

Probably seeing that she had woken up, Ahn Junhyuk got up. While patting the water droplets on his body, he untied his coat and hung it in the entrance.

After a while, Yuna finally came to her senses, got up from the ground, and saw that Ahn Junhyuk hadn't changed her shoes yet, so she went to get her slippers and came over, "Did Oppa just come back?"

"Well, when I came in the door, I saw you stupidly leaning against the window and falling asleep, you. If you have a bad stomach, don't always be aggressive. Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers from the trouble. ”

was reprimanded by him, but the girl didn't care, but when she helped him change his shoes, she smelled the smell of alcohol on his body. Cai frowned: "Oppa drinks so much again." At night when you call. I told you not to drink too much. ”

"Heh, I don't drive, I'm afraid of something. ”

"It's not good to drink anyway. ”

She also has a stubborn side. After saying a few words, Ahn Jun-hyuk had to surrender and admit that it was wrong to drink, which made her laugh again.

Let the girl help change her shoes, Yuna originally wanted to help him make a cup of tea, but seeing that she was only wearing thin pajamas, Ahn Junhyuk patted her little brain: "Don't get those, it's late at night, go to sleep quickly." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, OPPA should go to bed early, too. ”

Throughout, there was no intimacy between the two beyond what was allowed in the family, and it seemed that everything was the same as before. Seeing Yun'er looking back frequently, Ai Ai entered her bedroom, Ahn Junhyuk's eyes were lowered, and he restrained his smile, and a faint tiredness floated between his eyebrows.

It is always difficult to distinguish the importance of emotional matters, and accepting Xiujing's feelings is like this, and accepting Yun'er's feelings is also the same on a snowy night more than a week ago.

Maybe hypocritical, but he doesn't want to let anyone down, and he doesn't want to be like the "Ahn Junhyuk" in his dreams, so he can only remember the past in his memories. But this is not easy, when he says the word "love", it means responsibility and shackles.

What he can do for Xiujing is to reserve a piece of pure land for her - this home - in this family, Ahn Junhyuk is Lin Xiujing's, and other emotions will not touch this bottom line. What can be done for Yun'er is not to show guilt in front of her.

Saying "I'm sorry", and then getting Yun'er's "It's okay", the guilt in my heart will naturally be reduced a lot, but can outsiders understand Yun'er's guilt in the face of him, in the face of his "I'm sorry", when she smiles and says "It's okay", how reluctant that smile is, and how painful her heart should be?

After taking on two feelings, he couldn't do anything else but do his best to make them easier......

……

……

This time, the snow finally stopped intermittently, and it rained for several days, and the daily howling north wind whirled the falling ice from the clouds, dyeing the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with a flawless white, and the breath of severe cold became deeper and deeper day after day.

It's just that there are some things that can't be stopped even by the bitter cold, such as preparations for the withdrawal of US troops, for example, the convening of congressional hearings.

On January 10, 2007, Congress held a number of public hearings on the bidders, including the size of the public bidding companies' assets, qualifications, security capabilities, security plans, and the bids of each company. Because of the military's intention to cooperate, coupled with the private actions of some parties to reveal the bottom of the bid, J.H Security finally won the security work of 30 bases at a "preferential" price of 210 million US dollars, including the security protection of 3 shooting training ranges, and the supervision and protection of the relevant units when their land is polluted and decontaminated after the evacuation.

However, that was already a month later, but it did not prevent J.H. from changing its mental outlook after the hearing on the 10th.

Winning the security list is a foregone conclusion, Park Young-joon, who has always dealt with Kwon Bo-geun toughly, seems to have finally understood some of the reasons for showing weakness, and began to ease the relationship between the two of them, at least on a number of expansion plans for J.H music, Park Young-joon no longer blindly obstructs.

The upper level is harmonious, and the atmosphere of the whole company is naturally brighter, and when it develops to the bottom, the trainees have ushered in a short happy day - the teachers are no longer straight-faced, and they will no longer accidentally see which section leader, room head or minister lose their temper, and then be scolded one by one, and more importantly, Ahn Junhyuk, the most strict demon king for them, rarely comes to the company these days.

"Brother, why have you been staying at home these days?

When Jisoo asked like this, Ahn Joon-hyuk was pushing her and strolling along the park path. On January 12th, Seoul, which had been cloudy and snowy for many days, finally ushered in a rare sunny day, as if the sun had been absent for a long time, spilling down from the pale blue sky, sprinkling on the surface of the ice and snow piled up on top of everything, scattering light, and looking at it, it was as if the entire world was shining.

The snow bent the branches of the only green coniferous trees in the park, and some of the children, who were wrapped round, stumbled and ran on the snow, ran under the trees, and kicked the trees mischievously, and the snowflakes fell, causing a scream and laughter.

In the distance, in the center of the park path, a small nursery of cold plums is also blooming bright petals, and everything looks fresh and bright in the winter sun.

Jisoo raised his head to see his brother's shadow, but what caught his eyes was a few wisps of white clouds in the blue sky overhead.

Looking at his sister's slightly squinted eyes, Ahn Junhyuk smiled: "Because I'm going abroad soon!"

"What?" Jisoo looked back in amazement, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Go abroad, to the United States?"

"It was Japan that ......sold the East Asian screening rights of "The King's Man" to Japan's Sony Company, do you remember? At that time, they asked me to go to Japan and Taiwan to promote it, and I have been too busy to spare time for this year, and after such a long delay, Sony has long been very dissatisfied, no matter what, it can't be delayed any longer. ”

Jisoo naturally knew about this matter, she paused and asked, "How long are you going?"

Ahn Junhyuk shrugged: "How can this question be accurate, look at Sony's arrangement, if it is only a small-scale screening in Japan and Taiwan, it will take more than a week to come back, if it is medium-sized or above...... It takes a lot of time, maybe a month, maybe three or four months. ”

Hearing him say this, Jisoo was a little unhappy.

I went to the United States to leave for so long, and finally came back for a while, and I was going to go out again, in her opinion, "The King's Man" has almost made money, there is no need to be at the mercy of Sony, with her brother's current identity, even if she accompanies some liquidated damages, it is better than going outside.

Although she also knows that her brother has great ambitions, he doesn't want J.H Entertainment and J.H Music to be only nested in a small part of South Korea, but wants to get out of the country, not to mention the ethereal European and American markets, at least in Asia, there is no place for it.

It's just that she was still inevitably sullen, and Ahn Junhyuk didn't bother her, pushing her to a swing.

Probably a child played with it before, the snow on the swing was swept clean, gently rippling in the wind, looking at it for a while, Ahn Junhyuk smiled and said, "I'll carry you up and sit?"

Jisoo gave him a blank look, didn't answer, but stretched out his hands.

Ahn Joon-hyuk leaned over and picked her up, put her on the swing, and gently pushed her. The breeze blew from the forest on one side, swirling the snowflakes falling from the treetops, and the fluffy fur collar on the girl's down jacket swayed slightly in the wind, reflecting her somewhat pale face, which looked particularly pitiful.

"You're gone, what should I do with my sister-in-law?"

"I'm going to take her with me to Japan. ”

No wonder I've been with me every day for the last few days!

Jisoo was even more dissatisfied, snorted, and turned her face away, the sun shone from the south, and when the swing swayed, her figure crossed the top of this pure white snowfield, and after a while, her words sounded in the cold air:

"I'm going too!" (To be continued......)
