Chapter 157: Great Seniors
However, in this year's general election, he was angry because he was dissatisfied with the party leader quota system, and after that, he became a candidate for Sejong Special Self-Governing City as a non-affiliated party and eventually won the election, so that he has become a member of the National Assembly for seven elections, and he is a complete old man in the National Assembly.
Jung G-kook of the New National Party, who was previously the 45th Minister of Culture and Tourism (2011.1-2011.9), was a pro-Lee faction in the New National Party, and he was suppressed to a certain extent after the president came to power, but because of his qualifications and connections, he was successfully re-elected as a member of the National Assembly for five elections this year, and his constituency is Yeoju/Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do.
Among those who supported Lee Sung-han's report to North Korean TV about the Mir consortium was Chung G-kook.
"Councilor Guo, I haven't seen you in Congress very often lately."
Hong Yiluo, who has a certain friendship with Guo Dahai, took the lead in coming over and shaking hands with Guo Dahai.
"Yes, I've been busy with Ewha Girl's business lately, how are you doing?"
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
After greeting Hong Yiluo, Guo Dahai came to Li Haizan, he bowed slightly and said, "Hello Councilor Li."
"Hello, Councilor Guo."
Then he came to Zheng Zhiguo and bowed slightly, "Hello Councillor Zheng."
"Hello Councillor Kwok."
Li Haizhan and Zheng Zhiguo are both experienced figures in the political arena and the Congress, and they are Guo Dahai's seniors, he did not dare to chat with each other, but fortunately, there is a Hong Yiluo, who is more than ten years older than himself, but he is also a member of the primary election, and the two of them sat together and chatted with each other.
Not long after, the door of the private room was pushed open, and three more people walked in.
The three newcomers, Kwak Dae-hae, also know all of them: Kim Kyung-so and Won Hye-young of the Democratic Party of Korea and Park Ji-won of the People's Party.
Kim Kyung-so is a member of the current primary National Assembly, and he himself does not have much political experience and connections, but he is one of the party leader's hardcore henchmen, similar to the relationship between Kwak Dae and Park Won-soon, so he received special attention from the party leader in this year's general election.
Won Hye-young, who was the 16th and 17th mayor of Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province (1998-2003), is a five-term member of parliament along with Chung Kook-ju.
Yuan Huirong has always been kind, he is good at resolving the contradictions between various factions in the party, so his prestige is as high as Li Haizan, but at this time Li Haichan has ***.
Park Ji-won, who was the 36th Minister of Culture and Tourism (1999-2000) and the 25th Chief of the Presidential Secretariat (2002-2003), was one of the leaders of the Donggyon-dong faction, along with Lee Nakyeon and Jung Se-kyun.
However, dissatisfied with the leadership of the pro-Ryan faction and others, at the end of last year, he withdrew from the New Political Democratic Alliance along with Cheon Jung-bae and Ahn Cheol-so and founded the People's Party, where he served as a representative in the House of Representatives.
Of all the people present, Park Ji-won was the oldest.
Guo Dahai didn't expect that Gu Benmao would be able to call Park Zhiyuan to the banquet, so he stepped forward in turn to say hello to the three seniors.
Lee Hae-chan, Hong Yi-luo and Won Hye-young sat together, Park Ji-won sat next to Won Hye-young, and Jung Gyung-kook sat alone, and Guo Dae-e-gu went to sit down next to Jeong Gyung-kook in order not to make the other party feel embarrassed.
Towards eight o'clock, Goo Ben Mao finally appeared, and he appeared with Won Hee-ryong, Nam Kyung-pil, and Kim Ki-hyun of the New National Party.
Won Hee-ryong is the current governor of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and he is very flexible in politics, and although there is a lot of negative news, both the media and the residents of Jeju Island have a very high opinion of Won Hee-ryong.
Nam Kyung-pil, who is one year younger than Won Hee-ryong, is the current governor of Gyeonggi Province, and he has a very good relationship with Won Hee-ryong, but compared to Won Hee-ryong, Nam Kyung-pil is even higher, because his grandfather founded the Gyeongnam Passenger Transport Company, and his father, Nam Pyeong-you, was a member of the 14th and 15th National Assembly.
Nam Kyung-pil's status in the New National Party is equivalent to Kim Young-ho's position in the Democratic Party, but Nam Kyung-pil's personal development is better than Kim Young-ho's.
The last one is Kim Ki-hyun, the current mayor of Ulsan Metropolitan City, who and
Zheng Zhiguo, like him, is a pro-Lee faction within the New National Party.
After greeting everyone, Guo Dahai found an interesting thing, that is, except for Nan Jingbi and Yuan Xilong, everyone else was a politician who was more frustrated and out of power in their respective parties at this time, and he guessed that Gu Benmao should have given them financial and network support during the 20th general election to envelop them on his side.
On his right hand side sat Lee Hae-chan, Park Ji-won, Won Hye-young, Kim Kyung-so, and Hong Yi-rok, and on his left sat Jung G-kook, Kim Ki-hyun, Won Hee-ryong, and Nam Kyung-pil, and Kwak Dae sat in a separate seat directly opposite Goo Ben-mao.
Cho Eui-yoon was in charge of serving everyone, and he poured wine into everyone's glasses.
"Today is the first time we've met for dinner together in private, right?"
Gu Ben Shigeru put his hand next to the wine glass, and he asked as he looked at the crowd with a smile.
Lee Hae-chan and the others glanced at each other, then laughed dryly and said, "Yes."
"Although some of you are in different political parties, you can be comrades on the same front with me, don't you say?"
"Yes."
No one dared to raise objections, and whether they were sincere or not, everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Cha, let's have a drink together."
"Yes."
Gu Ben Shigeru took the lead, everyone raised their glasses and toasted together, and then they began to chat while eating.
"Is there any news about LG Group from the National Assembly and the Blue House recently?"
Goo first began to ask them about LG Group.
"LG Household & Health has recently been included in this year's national surveillance list of the National Assembly's Special Committee to Investigate the Death of a Humidifier Fungicide, and the Environmental Workers Committee may ask LG Household & Health's representatives to attend the hearing."
Zheng Guozhu, who was sitting next to Gu Benmao, replied.
"Really? Is there anything you can do to stop it?"
Goo Ben-mao looked at Jung Kook-joo and Kim Ki-hyun, and then he looked at Lee Hae-chan and Park Ji-won and asked.
"LG Household & Health is not the only company that has been included in the national surveillance list of the fatal incident caused by humidifier disinfectants, but also OxyRkiser, SK Chemical, SKInnovation, and Aikyung Group, among which the most influential are OxyRkiser and Aijing Group, and we will just have representatives of those two clubs present at the hearing."
Park Ji-won looked like he was in a good position, and Goo Ben-mao said with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
