Chapter 40: The Dark Tide is Surging
On February 25, 2008, South Korea's general election came to an end, and Lee Myung-bak was officially sworn in. On March 1, the new procurator general was appointed, and only seven of the eight senior procurators were left, around this place, all parties played, although Xu Ruoying was generally favored by the outside world, but before the dust settled, everything was difficult to say, after all, there are still three months before the official fill, and anything can happen in three months.
Therefore, Lin Xi has rarely been able to see his aunt recently, and of course he himself is also busy.
At this time, Lin Xi sat in his boss's chair, frowning and paying attention to the international economic situation. As early as April last year, that is, in April 2007, the bankruptcy of New Century Financial Corporation, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, made Lin Xi smell something unusual.
But then the Fed reacted by injecting liquidity into the financial system to boost market confidence, and the U.S. stock market was able to sustain its elevated levels. It was as if the bankruptcy of the New Century Financial Corporation was just an ordinary small wave in the financial markets.
It's just that the recent market has been beating very violently, although it is still calm in the end, but it is quite a bit of a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
And another thing that made Lin Xi feel uneasy was that the 1.5 billion yuan invested by Company A came from the subprime mortgage bond market in the United States according to Zheng Dazhi's investigation. But if you want to say what's wrong with it, you can't seem to see it......
A small inconspicuous gate in JN District, even if a busy pedestrian who usually goes to work will not have the desire to go in and find out, and even glance at it with disgust, thinking that it has polluted the scenery of Seoul, it is such an inconspicuous place, but it is one of the most famous clubhouses in Seoul.
Two tall security guards at the door stood at the door in straight suits, and some people who were curious to come and see were basically shocked back, and occasionally some bold ones were also expelled by force. If you want to go in, unless you are brought in by a member or become a member yourself, don't even think about it.
Entering the door is a different world entirely, not the kind of cheesy splendor, it should be said to be exquisite, as if every tile has been carefully examined.
The bartender quietly wiped his glass on the side, and sometimes looked up at the people on the dance floor, most of them were beautiful women, and even some of the stars you saw on TV were indulging themselves here.
This is just for ordinary members, and the high-end ones are in private rooms on the second floor or higher. Don't be surprised if you see someone who is on the wealth list, it's a common occurrence here. Of course, they don't come very often.
In a staff lounge on the second floor, a woman with a good face envied her partner and said, "I heard that there is not only the son of the Li family in your private room, but also the prosecutor who has been popular recently, isn't it very handsome?"
The woman who was questioned smiled and said, "Why are you thinking about spring, little Nizi?"
"Alas, if I can spend the rest of my life, I won't worry. The woman said with a sigh.
"Don't be naΓ―ve, although the son of the Li family is a sideline, it is not something that people like us can climb, let alone the prosecutor, how can that kind of person let a little stain appear in his introduction. β
"Don't talk about this, isn't the real person very handsome, I saw the arrest on TV and it was really handsome. β
"Heh, you've been here for a short time, and you can't see through it? Man, it's all the same, my chest hurts just now. "Little partner" said with a sneer, and added: "But handsome is indeed quite handsome." β
"Anyway, I have to hurry back. β
"Well, Sister Ling, go ahead. β
The woman called Sister Ling picked up a fruit plate and swayed towards the private room, her snow-white legs looming under the cheongsam, as if she was seducing people to commit crimes.
The woman returned to the private room, and the resentment just now seemed to have dissipated to the clouds, and said with a bright smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't just drink and hurt your body, come and eat some fruit." β
The fruit bowl was placed on the coffee table, and then naturally sat down next to a tall man.
The man has long legs, a custom suit, deep facial features, and a high nose bridge that makes the whole person heroic. A good interpretation of what it means to be a "handsome guy". This is the recent hot prosecutor - Jiang Chengxun, who is also the biggest competitor of Lin Xi's aunt Xu Ruoying.
It's just that at this time, the handsome guy's mood doesn't seem to be very good, his brows are furrowed, and he keeps moving with a young lady who accompanies the wine in his left hand, and the movements are rough, and the woman obviously feels pain, but she can't bear it too obviously. The right hand is constantly pouring wine into the mouth.
On the sofa on the other side also sat a man in a tailored suit, his face was a little pale, and he felt like he had been hollowed out by wine. This is the son of the Li family in the mouth of the young lady just now, Li Zhengyun. Although it is a side line of the Li family, the Li family is too big, and the second son of the side line can be mixed in the upper class.
This time, the family took a fancy to him and handed over the task of contacting Jiang Chengxun to him. Jiang Chengxun is more optimistic about the Li family in recent years, and he has also given him a lot of help over the years, whether it is financial or political, making him young, but he has further qualifications. Of course, Jiang Chengxun also repaid the Li family a lot.
"Brother Jiang, what are you angry about? Speaking of which, although I, Li Zhengyun, am not talented, I can also solve many things. Li Zhengyun patted his chest and said.
Jiang Chengxun glanced at Li Zhengyun, to tell the truth, he didn't look down on Li Zhengyun, this kind of idle, unlearned garbage, if he didn't rely on the Li family, he would be nothing, but now he has to rely on the Li family, and he can't make the relationship too stiff.
"Recently, there have been rumors that the big guys on the system are very satisfied with the performance of Xu Ruoying's woman after she was transferred to Seoul, damn, I feel that this cheap woman is one step ahead of me again. Jiang Chengxun said dissatisfiedly, and poured another sip of wine after speaking.
Li Zhengyun's face was a little stiff, Xu Ruoying, a woman who really couldn't move herself, not to mention that she is currently being noticed by all parties, even the people behind her are not so easy to mess with, and behind Xu Ruoying is Park Geun-hye, the eldest daughter of former President Park Chung-hee. If it weren't for this, no matter how strong Xu Ruoying's ability was, she would not have risen so quickly. Although Park Geun-hye lost to Lee Myung-bak in the party election, her power is still strong.
Li Zhengyun rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Jiang, it's okay, the family has already deployed for this person, no matter how strong her ability is, she is not your opponent." β
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxun's face looked better, although he wanted to defeat Xu Ruoying head-on, but if he becomes a king or loses a king, no matter what means, winning is a good means. I just don't know if Xu Ruoying will fall into the trap......
Roll around for recommendations.
