The dinner will be very weird, and the first half will be very ...... Rapid.

A large group of people, all of whom are representatives of the cultural industry, including entrepreneurs in the film industry, artists in the Hallyu industry, heads of television stations, representatives of relevant folk associations, artists, writers, folk culturers, and then there are foreign monks and local priests, and of course, all kinds of strange professors. Such a group of people, supposedly supposedly, should be in a mess, will become excited and distorted by the hot ideas of the rulers, and will be ready to move because of the distribution of interests.

But in fact, Ahn Jong-beom, the host of the meeting, does not seem to have much of the heart to interact with these people, nor does he give them the opportunity to play freely. He gave a general explanation of the situation, read out the official policy document, and then introduced the concept of the two institutions to everyone in the most important way, and left first.

The person who took over and presided over the dinner was Kim Sang-ryul, a university professor who introduced himself as the new chief secretary for cultural and educational reform at the Blue House, who was not a stranger to everyone, because he had made a name for himself in the cultural world for a long time. In other words, this gentleman famously came up with his idea early on, that is, as early as 2005, in his book he insisted that 9/11 was a show directed and performed by Americans to unite Americans and use it to wage war.

In other words, this is one of the few progressive literati in South Korea who has seen the essence of US imperialism!

Well, no nonsense, this is actually a very typical Korean literati, and this phenomenon of 'literati' is not uncommon in Korea.

"Next, I would like to invite Professor Moon Jae-sook of the Department of Music of Ewha Womans University, the holder of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 23 and an expert in the singing and singing of Gayageum, to the stage......

With Ahn Jong-beom's departure, his next arrangements seem to be in shape, a speech, a detailed interpretation of policy documents, and now he has even arranged for representatives of the cultural world to speak on stage, as if he wants to show his deep-rooted roots in the cultural world.

In short, without further ado, with Kim Dongyul's introduction and the warm applause at various tables in the audience, a fat aunt who looked amiable walked onto the stage with a smile.

"Listen to me. Unexpectedly, the female professor of Ewha Woman, who was still amiable before, became serious as soon as she came to the stage, and her next words were quite surprising and shocking. "There is an urgent need to protect traditional Korean culture!"

The warm applause rang out again, and no matter what, the applause was right at this time.

"It was last month. The applause gradually fell, and the fat aunt continued with a serious expression. "I attended a Gayageum music seminar at Yanbian University in China, but I didn't see any Korean disciples at the conference, and my heart was already heavy. Then when the seminar was over, I asked the Gayageum players who were there what they were preparing, and they actually told me that they were rehearsing for a Gayageum performance that was about to break the Guinness Book of Records, and then, my heart was not heavy......Chinese! Just a few days ago, I received definite news that the Chinese side had indeed successfully held a performance of 854 giant Gayageum on the same stage, and also took the opportunity to designate Gayageum as China's intangible cultural heritage! Now, or at that time, I had a tragic feeling that even Gayageum was about to be snatched away by the Chinese!"

At this point, the aunt on the stage choked up, and Chief Jin Shanglu handed over the handkerchief very gentlemanly. At the same time, on the table under the stage, the noise gradually weakened, which set off the tragedy of the person on the stage.

"For a long time, the Chinese have been using the logic of 'Korean culture is part of Chinese culture', constantly snatching the representative folk culture belonging to our South Korea, again and again, and we are simply unable to do anything. The fat aunt wiped away her tears, thanked Chief Kim Sang-ryu again, and then continued to speak, and the more she spoke, the more emotional she became. "As the protector of the Gayageum, I will never allow the Korean Liangayageum to be snatched away! And I will take this opportunity to make a formal proposal to the Blue House, hoping that they will face up to the people's grievances and formulate corresponding policies to protect our traditional culture!"

The audience was silent at first, and then suddenly there was applause under the leadership of Chief Kim Sang-ryul, who was standing on the sidelines, and the applause was fierce, and everyone seemed to be infected by the patriotism of the person on the stage.

"First of all, the first measure!" Perhaps discovering that her speech was infectious, the fat aunt began to become full of confidence. "We are going to declare our sovereignty by closing the road to Myeongdong, which has the largest number of tourists in China, and then holding an open-air performance of the Gayageum with at least 1,000 people at the same time!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of noise, and the chief Kim Sang-yu on the side of the stage also became embarrassed.

"Ahem, ahem!" In this case, on the first table on the right hand side of the audience, Jin Zhongming, who was drinking water, couldn't help coughing immediately, and the left hand wrapped in gauze also knocked over an empty cup somewhat uncontrollably.

"What's wrong, Zhong Ming?" a beautiful woman with an elegant temperament next to her asked with concern while helping to straighten the cup.

"It's fine. Jin Zhongming, who was still staring at the stage, laughed dryly. "I was just scared by the one on the stage if I wasn't careful......"

"Ignore her. The temperamental beauty sneered in a low voice when she heard this. "Let me tell you, Professor Moon Jae-sook is really not stupid, but too greedy, just look down. ”

Although Jin Zhongming didn't know why, he didn't say much, so he could only smile and nod his head...... Well, although the beautiful woman named Jin Yinzhu in front of him is only meeting for the first time, she is an art professor at Seoul Taisho and a celebrity in advertising design.

On the other side, as if to make a footnote to Professor Kim's words, as Kim Sang-ryul's embarrassed face slowly disappeared along with the noise in the audience, the chubby Professor Moon Jae-sook continued to elaborate on her 'Gayageum Cultural Protection Policy', and this time, she also brought props - two young girls and a man who was quite familiar to Kim Jong-ming each walked onto the stage with a Gayageum in their arms!

"In addition, we should also try our best to promote the commercialization and entertainment of the Gayageum!" Professor Moon Jae-sook, who was still choking up just now, actually changed to a smiling face like Maitreya Buddha at this time. "Cultural traditions can only be passed on if there are sufficient commercial channels for traditional folk customs!" Therefore, I hope that the Blue House will support me and the next generation of Gayageum's inheritor, Ms. Lysaki, to hold a folk concert with the theme of Gayageum at the Sejong Cultural Center in Korea......

Following the words of the fat aunt, the young girl who was standing alone on the right side of the fat aunt immediately held the Gayageum and gracefully bent her knees to the audience, and then there was a commotion in the audience that was not quite right. At the same time, Chief Kim Sang-ryul, who was standing on the edge of the stage, looked even more ugly. All kinds of incidents also made Jin Zhongming, who was staring at the man on the stage, come back to his senses a little, but he was a little dazed and didn't understand what was going on for a while.

"Even the hosts of the Myeongdong roadshow and folklore concerts have been contacted. As he spoke, the chubby Professor Moon Jae-sook turned around again and grabbed a man and a woman on the other side of him. "Miss Lee Ha-ni, an actor from Miss Korea, and Mr. Yoon Ki-sang, an actor from a famous idol......"

There was a burst of applause from the audience, and Jin Zhongming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the man looked so familiar, and it turned out to be Yin Qixiang from GOD.

But what's going on with this weird atmosphere?

"Haven't Zhong Ming seen it yet?" Professor Jin Yinzhu next to him seemed to notice Jin Zhongming's incomprehension, and couldn't help but snort coldly. "If you take a closer look at Miss Lee Ha Ni and Miss Lee Se Ki, and then look at our Professor Moon Jae-sook, isn't it interesting how the three of them look?"

Jin Zhongming was stunned when he heard this, and then looked carefully...... Don't say it, although Professor Moon Jae-sook is not fat, and his figure is out of shape, which is far from the two next to him. But if you look closely, she still has the slender eyes and high cheekbones of the two young girls around her, which is simply poured out of a mold!

"These three ......?" Jin Zhongming was really speechless.

"It's a mother and daughter. Without waiting for Professor Jin Yinzhu to answer, another professor at the same table as Jin Zhongming completely revealed the mystery. Then that Li Hani is still in love with Yin Qixiang, which has just been announced. Two daughters and one son-in-law, this is a fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and they want to leave the money supported by the Gayageum culture in their own families!"

"How could the Blue House be so fooled around with this one?" Kim Jong-ming's face turned strange.

"Zhong Ming still doesn't understand?" Professor Jin Yinzhu continued to sneer. "How operable do you think the Myeongdong Thousand People Roadshow is?"

Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned, then suddenly appeared and laughed.

"So, as long as the Blue House can't hold a roadshow for a thousand people in Myeongdong, she has to pinch her nose and hold that folk concert, and then nine times out of ten, she will have to take the opportunity to default to the inheritance of Gayageum as her own daughter!" someone at the table said mockingly. "Anyway, the hat of national righteousness has been buttoned up, Jin Shanglu has to pinch his nose and agree to one......, right?

"Why do you think the Blue House chose this kind of person as a cultural representative?" said another man, shaking his head. "Moon Jae-sook's greed is notoriously ......"

"The Pear Blossom Girl has also fallen!"

Everyone shook their heads, and Jin Zhongming smiled without saying a word...... It's really interesting.

In this way, finally waiting for the fat professor on the stage to finish the family show, Jin Shangyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then continued to host:

"What Professor Moon Jae-sook said just now is very reasonable, and the Blue House will definitely seriously consider her relevant suggestions. Well, now we have Professor Jin Yinzhu from Seoul University on stage, and she will explain to us the connotation relationship between modern commercial advertising and cultural propaganda!"

As soon as the words fell, Professor Jin Yinzhu next to Jin Zhongming immediately changed to a smiling expression, and then got up on stage with an elegant posture. Kim Jong-ming, who was at the same table, hurriedly stood up and applauded and cheered for the professor of his alma mater, and the one who was still denouncing the Blue House for not electing the cultural representative would not be elected also gave a standing ovation and said goodbye......

"Today I'm going to talk about the myths of Korean food culture. "Professor Jin Yinzhu opened with a much more pragmatic appearance than that Moon Jae-sook. "First of all, I want to cite a typical case of Cheong Wa Dae wasting taxpayers' funds, when promoting Jeonju bibimbap before, Che Wa Dae commissioned director Cha Eun-taek to make an advertisement for colorful bibimbap, which seems to me to be flashy, because bibimbap can only be eaten after it has to be mixed, and you only need to mix it, how can there be any colorful?"

This insight made Jin Zhongming couldn't help but gasp......

And just like that, the dinner party continued, and I don't know how long the excitement of the night would last. And just as one after another of South Korea's cultural elite are trying to show off their virtuosity on the beautiful stage of the Gwanghwamun Hyundai Building, on the other side, in a place that contrasts sharply with the Hyundai Building, an intimate conversation has just begun.

Yongsan Prison, Seoul, an open reception room.

"They're just going too far. Lee Jae-bin stared at the camera overhead with an undisguised look of resentment. "Brother, you have taken out all the family resources for them, but they don't even give you a special reception room, and you still have to use this kind of public reception room. ”

"I asked for it. Sitting next to his cousin, Lee Jae-hyun, who was already thin and looked like two people a few months ago, shook his head nonchalantly. "It makes me feel more secure, and if I were to change to that kind of room, it would make me uncomfortable......"

"What about this?" Lee Jae-bin couldn't help but point to the other party's wrist. "Brother, you came to meet your brother, and you took the initiative to ask for handcuffs?"

"This ...... It doesn't matter anymore. Lee Jae-hyun sighed slightly, and the bloodshot in his small eyes and his gray and messy hair seemed to tremble at the same time. "After all, the cultural industry fund hasn't really been donated yet, and I'm afraid this is inevitable before then. Besides, Samsung Life hasn't really withdrawn the lawsuit!"

Lee Jae-bin fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, Lee Jae-hyun didn't care at all, he looked at his cousin, and then started the conversation step by step: "How is my father?"

"The cancer cells spread, and there was no problem with China, so it was sent to Japan. Li Zaibin replied helplessly. "But after the inspection on the Japanese side, there was no problem, and now I can only barely hang it, and then when my uncle was sober, he said that he wanted to go back to China, and he said that he was used to living in China......"

"I was a little discouraged after hearing my eldest sister talk about it. Lee Jae-hyun shook his head. "There's really no point in holding on. ”

Li Zaibin fell silent again, he was entrusted to come to his brother to make a deal, but at this time, he didn't know if there was any point in continuing to talk...... You know, the person who is suffering in front of you is a cousin who has been carrying him for twenty years!
