Chapter 005: You can't forget your roots

Thinking of Li Herun's matter, Guo Dahai took out his mobile phone and called Han Daojing.

"Hey, talk...... Your Excellency, Sir. ”

"Dao Jing, have you applied for the guard exam this year?"

South Korea's police evaluation system takes guards as a watershed, and the promotion of police ranks above the guard level implements a vacant competitive evaluation mechanism;

There are two types of promotions below the rank of guard: one is to be promoted step by step, with an interval of 7 years and 8 years between each level; The second is to skip the level of promotion, and patrol officers who have been more than two years can directly apply for the guard examination according to the vacancy.

"Yes, the results of the exam will be released at the end of this month."

"Okay, when you pass the guard exam, I'll help you fight for the position of the head of the police station below the Jiangnan Police Station."

"Yes, thank you, Sir."

"Now I have something for you to do for me."

"Yes, please command."

"You take the time to go to Daejeon today, go to Li Ha-run, and see her recent situation, and before you leave, you go to Shuhao and ask him to give you 5 million, you help me bring it to Li Ha-run, and by the way, tell her to let her pay attention to President Kim Dong-won's person."

"Yes, I promise to complete the tasks you have assigned, Sir."

Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Dae, accompanied by Na Jongmin, departed from Sejong Special Self-Governing City to Cheongju City, where the purpose of their trip was to inspect the construction progress of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which is being built in Cheongju, and to see the Cheongju National Museum and other tourist attractions such as Sangdang Mountain Fortress and Okchangho Park.

After about an hour of driving from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Guo Dahai and others arrived at the construction site of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.

"Hello Minister, I'm Park Weizhen."

"Hello Director Park."

Park Wai-jin is the deputy director of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, and the director of the former Museum of Modern Art of Barcelona is Bartomeu Marie Rivas, who is also the first foreign director in history.

Guo Dahai, Luo Zhongmin and others put on construction helmets and entered the construction site, and Park Weizhen gave him a brief introduction to the construction of the Cheongju Pavilion.

"Your Excellency, the construction of our Cheongju Pavilion began in March this year, and the construction period is 18 months, and the demolition of the building is underway, which is a rendering after completion."

Park Weizhen asked people to take a rendering for Guo Dahai to see.

"Director Park, your curator is a foreigner, she may be very accomplished in art, but you have to help her a lot in administrative matters, you know?"

"Yes, I understand what you mean, Minister."

Park Weizhen said with a smile.

"Pay attention to safety at the construction site, there must be no construction accidents, safety first, understand?"

"Yes."

"Director Park, what is the overall budget of the Cheongju National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art?"

"Your Excellency, the budget is 57.8 billion won, which includes the cost of demolition and renovation of the old cigarette factory building."

"How many tourists will it attract to the Cheongju National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art every year?"

"According to the results of the feasibility study, it is expected to attract about 500,000 visitors to the Cheongju National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art every year."

"Vice Minister Luo, how much budget do we expect to invest in Cheongju City this year?"

"This year, we have allocated 162.8 billion won to Cheongju City's tourism budget."

"Does it include the cost of building the Cheongju National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art?"

"Not included."

"Then it's a budget of 220.6 billion won, let's go look elsewhere."

"Yes."

After staying on the construction site of the Cheongju National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Guo Dahai and others set off for the Cheongju National Museum.

The Cheongju National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is located about 4.6 kilometers from Cheongju National Museum and takes about 10 minutes by car.

The Cheongju National Museum covers an area of more than 30,000 pyeong, and Guo Dahai just looked at their floor plan, and he didn't have time to go in and take a big walk.

After coming out of the Cheongju National Museum, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Dahai and others drove around the tourist attractions of Cheongju City again, and they were not ready to leave until more than seven o'clock in the evening when the sky gradually darkened.

"You guys go back first, I have other things to do in the evening."

"Yes."

Guo Dae was separated from Na Jong-min and others near the Cheongju Gymnasium, and he asked Choi In-geng to drive him to meet Seo Min-jung at the HK Hotel in Sangdang-gu, Cheongju City.

There are no private rooms in the HK Hotel, so Guo Dahai and Xu Minzhen sit and eat in the booth in the corner, tired of eating Japanese, Korean and Western food, and occasionally trying Cantonese food is a good choice.

"Sir Guo, you must have been very busy lately, right?"

From the beginning of the meeting, Xu Minzhen has kept a smile, and she asked while looking at the menu.

"I held a plenary meeting after I took office yesterday, and today I listened to the work report, and then I inspected the tourist attractions in Cheongju, and I have a meeting every day until tomorrow until Friday, and there are a lot of things that I need to make decisions about."

Guo Dahai replied after taking a sip of tea.

"How does it compare to the work of Congress?"

After ordering the dishes herself, after Xu Minzhen handed the menu to Guo Dahai, she looked into the other party's eyes and asked.

"I can still be lazy in the Congress, and I really don't have time to rest when I go to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism."

After Guo Dahai finished speaking, he handed the menu to the waiter to serve.

"And what about this weekend? Do you have to work overtime too? ”

"Even if I don't work overtime, I have to deal with all kinds of invitations, and there is a cultural festival in Seoul in September, and the mayor asked me on Saturday to talk about the budget for the cultural festival."

"Chief Guo, do you still call Mayor Park Mayor?"

"Min Zhenxi, you can't forget your roots, the mayor is kind to me, no matter what my identity is, I should respect him."

After listening to Guo Dahai's answer, the smile on her face became even brighter, "LG Group also helped you more or less during the general election, so how do you plan to repay LG Group?" ”

"I have repaid them for some of their kindness in the Central Market, and if they need it, I will return the rest of the favor to them if they have the opportunity."

"Sir Guo, you are really a person who values love and righteousness."

The waiter brought the food and they started eating.

In the face of Xu Minzhen's praise, Guo Dahai smiled and said nothing, at this time the mobile phone he put on the dining table vibrated a little, and someone sent him a message.

[Senior, are you busy? 】

The person who sent the message was Bae Joo-hyun.

[No, what's the matter?] 】

[It's nothing, I heard Tae say senior, will you live in Sejong City in the future? 】

[That's right. 】

You have to take care of yourself when you are there alone. 】

[I know, thank you for your concern.] 】

[If you go back to Seoul, can you have a meal together? 】

[Let's talk about that then.] 】

[Yes, goodbye, senior.] 】

【Good】

Bae Joo-hyun: What's wrong?

Guo Dahai was surprised by the other party's abnormal behavior, and Xu Minzhen asked in a joking tone when she saw this, "Is it a girlfriend?" ”

"No, a junior."

"By the way, I suddenly remembered one thing, it's about Chief Guo, do you want to hear it?"

"What's the matter?"

"Maybe Mr. Guo, you're going to meet with Mrs. Choi from SK Group this week, right?"

"Yes, Minjung, how do you know?"

Guo Dahai asked suspiciously.

"When I was talking to Choi Min-jung on the phone the other day, she said that her mother wants her to take time off work this weekend to come out and meet with you this week, do you know why?"

"Could it be ......?"

"That's right," Xu Minzhen said with a smile, "Mrs. Cui wants to match you and Zhen'er, Chief Guo." ”

Choi Min-jung......

Guo Dahai thought of the other party's five big and three rough appearances, and he said with a dry smile: "No, Ren Geng, he only said that Mrs. Cui wanted to ask me to have dinner together, and he didn't say anything about meeting him." ”

"How can this kind of thing be said clearly, besides, Mrs. Cui doesn't want you to be embarrassed by then, and meeting under this pretext is the best way."

"Heh......"

Guo Dahai smiled helplessly.

"Who told Sir Guo that you are single, if you don't hurry up and confirm your girlfriend, this kind of thing will only happen more in the future."

"Really?" Guo Dahai was noncommittal, he remembered one thing and asked, "Min Zhenxi, I remember that you seemed to say that you were going to Huaguo to study for an MBA this year, when did you leave?" ”

"I'm not going."

"Why?"

Feeling that Guo Dahai was a little surprised, Xu Minzhen said without a smile: "Sir Guo, do you really want me to go to Huaguo?" Or do you not want me to stay in Korea anymore? ”

"No, I'm just asking."

"Chief Guo, let's get down to business."

The smile on Xu Minzhen's face was no longer there, and she said with a serious expression.

"Minjung, what do you want to talk about?"

"Mr. Guo, do you think it is a good time for Amorepacific Group to enter the tourism and cultural industry now?"

"Isn't there Chief Guo here?"

"Min Jungxi, my term of office is up to two years, and besides, my term may be even shorter, so ......"

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the average tenure of each chief has been between one and a half to two years, and considering next year's local elections, Guo Dahai feels that his tenure will only be one year at most.

"So what do you think we at Amorepacific Group should do?"

Xu Minzhen's words made Guo Dahai fall into deep thought, and when the other party saw that he frowned, she said: "I didn't mean to force you, Chief Guo, I was just asking for your opinion." ”

"Min Jung, are you interested in the movie?"

After two or three minutes, Guo Dahai asked her.

"Movies?"

"That's right, I plan to introduce a support policy for film culture in the second half of this year, and the support fund is about 10 billion, and if the film script you invest in meets our support policy, you can get 20%-40% of the total investment in the film."

"But I don't know about movies."

"Do you know Prosecutor General Kwak Gyu-taek Min Jung of the Seoul Northern District Prosecutor's Office?"

"Yes, I know, he is your clan relative Chief Guo, right?"

"Yes, Prosecutor General Guo's eldest brother Guo Junze is a film director, and his nuna Guo Xinai is a producer, you can contact them, if the movie script is suitable, it's not too late for you to invest in letting them shoot."

"yes, I'll go down and try to contact them."

With a good script and support funds from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, this deal can be tried.

In the following time, Xu Minzhen looked a little depressed, Guo Dahai, who knew the reason, did not intend to comfort her, and after eating, one of the two was ready to go back to Seoul, and the other was ready to return to Sejong Special Self-Governing City.

After getting out of the car, Guo Dahai saw Cui Rengeng's back and remembered that he was going to have dinner with Lu Suying and Cui Minzhen on the weekend, and the first thing he did when he got home was to call Zheng Haican.

After listening to Guo Dahai's thoughts, Zheng Haican was speechless for a while.

"Haican, what do you think?"

"What does that Choi Min-jeong look like?"

"Don't you care what a woman looks like?"

"Did I say that? It seems that you are the senior who said this, right? ”

"Did I say that? Ah, don't think about it so much, if Mrs. Cui is willing, you can try it again with Cui Minzhenxi, maybe you will like her. ”

"No, senior...... Shouldn't we be working now for next year's local elections and by-elections? ”

"Ah, what's the conflict between love and career?"

"Then senior, why do you always tell others that you want to focus on your career and have no idea of falling in love for the time being?"

"Uh...... Did I say that? Hey, Hai Can, those don't matter, so be it. ”

Guo Dahai hung up the phone in a hurry, and Zheng Haican was forced to agree.

Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism

In the morning, Guo Dahai was in the office to review the budget application forms submitted by various organizations, organizations and affiliated committees, and he signed his name on the budget application forms, which were then forwarded by Zheng Yunzai to Luo Zhongmin or Lu Taigang, and finally they sent the budget approval documents to the various organizations, organizations and affiliated members.

At two o'clock, Guo Dahai accompanied by Luo Zhongmin, Roh Tae-gang, and Jung Yun went to the small conference room, where Chairman Kim Jong-kook (acting) of the Film Promotion Committee, Park Myung-jin, chairman of the National Culture and Arts Commission, and Lee Jung-woo, director (acting) of the National Theater, had been waiting here for a long time.

"Hello, Minister."

Kim Jong Kook, Park Myung Jin, and Lee Jung-woo stood up and bowed to him.

"Hello, please sit down."

"Yes."

Guo Dahai sat on the main seat, Luo Zhongmin and Roh Taegang sat on either side of him, and Zheng Yunzae sat down with Kim Jong Kook, Park Myung Jin and Lee Jung-woo to listen to Guo Dahai's speech.

"I called the three of you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

"Yes."

"I have the expectations of the people and the President on my shoulders, and after thinking about it for a while, I plan to spend 10 billion won from the Film Development Fund to support this year's excellent films and dramas.

"Yes, Minister, I will immediately organize the establishment of an audit team when I go back."

Park Myung-jin stood up and said.
