Thank you to UYHGUSH, Jinfeng*Drizzle, Arthuri, and overseas ghosts for their tips, and thank you to the students who voted for the monthly ticket!

Keep asking for a lot~

The car was speeding in the wind and snow, Ahn Jun-hyuk in the back closed his eyes after starting the car, and the driving Che Won-sung did not say a word, Park Yingjun sat in the passenger seat, feeling the calmness of the flow in the carriage, looking out the window through the street, crossing the bridge, sharing the same color with the river in the dark night, the rushing and whistling snow waterfall, and the heart is also like this kind of contrast, seven up and down, rioting and chaotic, many thoughts are surging.

Although he was upset, but since he had already gotten in the car, his political wisdom would not be ignorant, and at this time he had already figured out that what the date he followed Ahn Joon-hyuk to attend was not the point, the point was that Ahn Jun-hyuk asked him to accompany him.

His cousin's words and deeds are never aimless, and now he is in charge of a group of hundreds of billions of won, and his every move has a deep meaning. Seeing that he only took Yuan Cheng with him when he traveled, it was obvious that dating was of a private nature, and when it came to his current status, in addition to banquets and salons, private appointments were either very deep personal friendships, or related to major affairs such as the development of the company.

Park Young-joon felt that since Ahn Joon-hyuk asked him to accompany him, the nature of the date was clearly the latter.

After thinking about this, doubts followed, did the company have any major affairs recently? Looking through my memory, the only thing that can be called significant is the acquisition of Gmarket. But for a few months. Although the acquisition talks have not started, private contacts have been intensive, mainly because Interpark, Gmarket's largest shareholder, is still hesitant to approve the deal, but has relented.

In this situation, the public relations aspect is more than urgent, and besides, the company is also trying to raise funds, and it is obviously not the time to use personal relationships to solve the problem immediately, and everything is more appropriate to go through official channels.

Of course, there is no need to think deeply about this question. He was the most unsure. Is Ahn Joon Hyuk asking him to accompany him?

Thinking of Ahn Joon-hyuk's inexplicable guidance in the evening, and thinking of the resentments he confided, Park Young-joon suddenly thought of a news he saw a few days ago.

Don't......

"Whew-"

A bouquet flew abruptly past him. Park Young-hand, who was contemplating, woke up sharply. The window on the right-hand side. A thin layer of snow has fallen, and the tail lights of a passing car are still in the retina. The speed of the car dropped somewhere.

It's almost there!

Looking out, under the night sky of snowflakes, there is a quiet place of residence on a winter night, there are no prosperous modern high-rise buildings in the field of vision, and the houses on both sides of the road are retreating along the way, full of the style of the old city houses.

The car drove along the winding path for a while with its headlights on, and then came to a smooth stop in front of a small two-story building.

"Arrived?" Ahn Joon-hyuk opened his eyes in the back row.

"Yes, brother. Yuan Cheng agreed, and at this time, the tall iron gate in the front yard of the small building opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out while wiping her hands.

Ahn Jun-hyuk got out of the car, and Park Young-joon hurriedly followed.

"Is it Ahn Junhyuk?" The middle-aged woman greeted her, and when Ahn Junhyuk nodded, she bowed respectfully: "The meal is ready, Mr. is waiting for you, please come with me, the car can be parked in the yard." ”

"Excuse me!"

When the snow fell, he bowed to Ahn Joon-hyuk and straightened up again, so that Park Young-joon had time to look at the building. The small building is a typical old-style Seoul house, which can be seen from the faint Japanese style in the layout, and there are many houses in Yongsan-gu, developed during the Japanese colonial military government, with narrow courtyards, square terraces, and traces of time on the erosion lines of vines and moss, and the stone walls covered with snow and uncovered stones.

When I got to the house, it was even more ordinary, the wooden furniture was just an ordinary material, even a little old, the paint was dull, but it was quite clean, the floor had probably been waxed recently, the light was sprinkled, and the light was recognizable.

Ren The middle-aged woman helped dust off the snow on her body, and Park Yingjun subconsciously gave an evaluation in her heart, a typical middle-class family is very ordinary. But he didn't know why, he always felt that there was a strange atmosphere in this building, like ...... Like everything, it's all deliberate!

Thinking about it, Yuan Cheng, who had parked the car outside, also came in, the three of them took off their shoes, dusted off the snow that fell on their bodies, and then the middle-aged woman guided through a corridor, looking at the two sides of the slightly narrow corridor, the sliding doors, Park Yingjun suddenly realized that this is a Japanese-style restaurant, a privately operated, and not open to the public, he had heard of it when he was in the upper class circles before, and it was the favorite place of a certain type of democrat.

Once he has such an understanding, Ahn Junhyuk's identity as the person who went to the appointment is about to be revealed.

Sure enough, the middle-aged woman took broken steps, led the three of them to a sliding door, and when she knelt down and opened the door, it was about 40 square meters, and the room was full of orange lights, and the two kneeled on the tatami mats, around a small square table full of dishes and a red clay hot pot, the middle-aged man who was chatting raised his head and saw An Junhyuk, one of the very familiar faces of Park Yingjun smiled: "Ahn Junhyuk, I've been waiting for you for a while, please come in!"

Ahn Junhyuk smiled: "Thank you for waiting for a long time, Mr. Wen!"

Moon Jae-in......

How could Park Young-joon, a prominent figure in the Blue House, not to mention that he can often be seen on various news, just a few months ago, when J.H and SK stopped to negotiate peace, this representative of the Blue House appeared in the negotiation meetings of the two sides many times.

Park Young-joon was a little stunned, but he couldn't think deeply for a while, and when he saw Ahn Joon-hyuk enter the room, he knelt down on the tatami mat and hurriedly followed.

But at this time, no one cared about his strange appearance, Moon Jae-in, whose hair was already a little gray, shook hands with An Junhyuk with a smile, and after a little greeting, he led Ahn Junhyuk to the other side of the small square table, the middle-aged man who was also kneeling: "Ahn Junhyuk, this is the master here." Mr. Shigemitsu Kazudo. ”

Heavy light?

When I met with Moon Jae-in this time, in line with the idea of respecting the other party, Ahn Jun-hyuk did not arrange the meeting place independently, it was all up to Moon Jae-in's meaning, and when he heard the special "Chongguang" surname of the owner of the meeting place, his heart was stagnant, but he didn't show it, just smiled and churned: "Mr. Chongguang, I'm bothered." ”

Chongguang and Tang are quite rich-looking, and a round face seems to be smiling all the time. At first glance, it looks like a very ordinary one. A kind rich man who has some surplus wealth in his hand and no ambitions, heard Ahn Junhyuk's words, he said hehe: "Where is it, the road is closed by heavy snow outside." Friends who usually like to be lively are too lazy to come to the cold house to play. Nobles like Wen Jun and An Jun are willing to come. The Burrow is just full of flowers, and it's too late for the contemptible people to rejoice, so why bother?"

"Haha Yes, I've been an old friend with Hetang for many years, and I came to dinner to give him face, and Ahn Jun Hyuk Xi is not polite. Moon Jae-in laughed heartily.

The relationship between the two seems to be extremely close, and Chongguang Hetang didn't care about his ridicule, but just said enthusiastically to An Junhyuk: "An Jun's name is like thunder, I heard about An Jun's deeds at home at the beginning of last year, and my uncle praised An Jun, but unfortunately I didn't see a real person until today. ”

"It's over. Ahn Junhyuk leaned over slightly, and immediately said in confusion: "May I ask ...... your uncle?"

"Hehe, my uncle is Shigemitsu Mako. ”

Hearing this Japanese name, An Junhe paused for a moment, and then remembered it abruptly, and paused: "It turned out to be President Singhahata, his old man has always been an elder I admire, I'm sorry, it's rude!"

The intersection of J.H and Lotte Cinema, only when "The King's Man" was released at the beginning of last year, with the results of "The King's Man" at that time, Singh Hatatake mentioned Ahn Jun-hyuk at home, it is estimated that it is possible, but Ahn Jun-hyuk thinks about it, Chongguang and Don's words can only be believed at most, because Lotte Cinema was formed by the hot trend of "Wang Man", and after Roh Moo-hyun personally watched the movie and built up political momentum, he was forced to get closer to J.H due to political pressure.

For this, they even had to turn their backs on the alliance with CJ.CGV, and when Singh mentioned him Ahn Joon-hyuk, it would be good not to grit his teeth with hatred, and it would be strange to be able to say good things.

However, this kind of thing is communication, naturally it is to see people and talk about people, and to talk nonsense, there is no need to take it seriously and there is no need to disdain, knowing that Moon Jae-in and Ahn Jun-hyuk have something to talk about, Chongguang Hetang did not stay for long, and said a few polite words, then said a few polite words, and left with a smile, leaving only Moon Jae-in, Ahn Jun-hyuk, and Park Young-jun in the house, and Cha Won-sung was arranged in another room.

On the small square table, the charcoal fire is blazing, and the soup of the red mud hot pot exudes a strong fragrance, tumbling boiling bubbles, and the smoke rises.

Moon Jae-in personally poured a glass of wine for Ahn Jun-hyuk, the two touched a glass, the entrance is spicy, it is distilled soju, the degree is slightly higher, but this weather is just to drink to ward off the cold, Ahn Jun-hyuk picked up a piece of cooked beef, dipped it in the sauce and tasted it, the entrance is fragrant and smooth, the meat is fresh and tender, far different from the usual Korean beef: "This beef ......"

Moon Jae-in, who is very familiar with this place, explained, "It's Wagyu beef, which was flown in from Japan." Ahn Jun Hyuk xi don't look at the simplicity here, in fact, there is a lot of good things inside, Chongguang Hetang has been in business for more than ten years, usually only entertaining old friends, so that everyone has a private place, whether it is to talk about things, or leisurely want to taste the pure Japanese flavor, this is the best occasion, non-old comrades are unknown, haha. ”

Ahn Junhyuk smiled, he had always heard that the Chongguang family was not involved in politics, but now that he looks at it, it is also a rumor. If you don't get involved in politics, how can this kind of place be in business for more than 10 years, and it is even more nonsense to only entertain old friends.

I also remembered that since Roh Moo-hyun came to power and began to carry out the economic and political reform of the chaebol, Hyundai, Samsung, LG, SK and other chaebol families have all been governed by Roh Moo-hyun, and only the Chongguang family of the Lotte Group is safe.

But today's main purpose is not this, Ahn Joon-hyuk didn't say much, and had a few drinks with Moon Jae-in with Park Young-joon, and his body gradually warmed up, and the atmosphere began to be harmonious and warm.

After another glass clink, Moon said, "The security list is out, and in two days, there will be a hearing in Congress." ”

That's what I'm here for!

Ahn Joon-hyuk remained silent, actually, this was not an accident. In the midterm elections last November, after the Democratic Party's resounding victory, all kinds of comments were loud about the reversal of US foreign policy, and South Korea, a member of the Southern Triangle and a country that has long been troubled by the presence of US troops, has been hotly discussed, and the prediction of US troop withdrawal has become the loudest voice in public opinion.

At the end of the year, the Democratic Party-run United States really fulfilled its election program and passed a series of foreign military and diplomatic reform plans in Congress, among which the US Congress issued an order to reduce the number of US troops stationed in South Korea in order to ease the conflict on the Korean Peninsula and strive for a satisfactory settlement of the North Korean nuclear issue.

As some US troops began to gradually withdraw from the peninsula at the beginning of this month, military security issues also surfaced. J.H Security has worked hard for several years, and Ahn Jun-hyuk has invested tens of millions of dollars in the network of relationships woven by the military, and at the end of the year, he began to make efforts to win the order.

In fact, the domestic competition of this list is not fierce, the strongest security company in South Korea, except for Daewoo, which has long been in a slump, there is only Samsung Security, but Samsung Security's current main business is in Iraq, and the company's elite force has been transferred there, and other small and medium-sized security companies do not have the strength of J.H Security, so to speak, as long as there is a political boost, J.H won the list without surprise.

Sure enough, Moon Jae-in smiled slightly: "The qualifications of some companies, after research by relevant departments, are really not competent for the job, so the Blue House United Military has eliminated some of them, and the current government focuses on recommending J.H security." Of course, the hearing still needs to be attended, Ahn Joon-hyuk, I wonder if a good candidate has been decided?"

"It's decided. Ahn Jun-hyuk nodded and looked at Park Young-jun who was stunned beside him: "Brother Handsome, will you partner with Jeon Byung-kook in two days, are you confident?"

In a daze, Park Yingjun didn't know how his brain was working again, but he subconsciously bowed his head. Express confidence.

Regardless of what he was thinking, for Ahn Joon-hyuk and Moon Jae-in, this matter is certain, and the efforts made are not temporary, so there is no need to talk about it.

"In that case, please prepare Mr. Park for the next two days. Saying casually, Moon Jae-in, whose face was slightly flushed, suddenly sighed, "The opening of the Kuomintang has been communicated." ”

Ahn Joon-hyuk poured another glass for him, held his wrist with his left hand, sandwiched a slice of beef for Park Young-joon, who was still stunned, and asked with a calm expression, "Or follow the precedent?"

Moon Jae-in nodded, after the New Year, he and Ahn Jun-hyuk became more and more close, and at this time it was private, but there was no need to be vague and ambiguous as on New Year's Day, but replied bluntly: "Yes, next month, Roh Moo-hyun will officially and publicly quit the party, and on the eve of his resignation from the party, I will also resign and leave the Blue House." ”

This is the wisdom of self-preservation.

He may have a deep personal friendship with Roh Moo-hyun, but there is no friendship in politics, and when the mainstream trend of the right has decided to abandon Roh Moo-hyun and demand his resignation from the party to quell partisan conflicts, he has to move with the trend in the organization, otherwise he will be overthrown immediately.

For politicians, how can a deep friendship compare to their own political life?

It's just that although this is the truth, when Moon Jae-in said this, his expression was still a little gloomy, of course, Ahn Jun-hyuk did not put that gloom in his heart, every politician in the entertainment industry is a qualified actor, laughing and scolding, and there is no ingenuity. (To be continued......)
