Chapter 9: The Suspicious Director Lee
I have to say that it is really eye-opening for rich people to enjoy this aspect.
By the early hours of the next morning, Kim Jae-ryong was woken up by a hurried ringing of his mobile phone. When he picked up his phone and looked at it, he immediately woke up from his hangover.
"Abuthiyo! Ah, Director Lee! ”
"Kim Jae-ryong, where are you?"
"Uh...... Last night...... Drink some wine! Now I'm ......"
"I don't care where you are, hurry up and get back to me, you and Fat An must give me an explanation for what happened last time!"
……
With the busy tone coming from the phone, Kim Jae-ryong looked at the phone that was hung up in some surprise, and it was only at this time that he noticed that the floor-to-ceiling windows in the distance could overlook the busy city of Hancheng during the day.
Last night, Kim Jae-ryong dipped the light of the eldest lady and tasted the top delicacy of the Songzhu Pavilion, of course, because the eldest lady didn't like soju, so he and Gu Hyunjin drank a margaery last night.
This is a slightly fermented rice wine, which was originally a drink for farmers to quench their thirst during their leisure time in country H, but the people in the city liked it very much, and they also created a way to drink it called sparkling rice wine, which is mixed with soda, made into sparkling rice wine, mixed with margaery, and then poured into a copper bowl and drunk in one gulp.
Because the degree of this wine is not high, it is rare for Kim Jae-ryong to have a good night's sleep.
However, before he could open his eyes, trouble befell him again.
From the phone call just now, Kim Jae-ryong could tell that Li Zicheng's tone was not good, and it sounded like a tone of asking for guilt. This made Kim Jae-ryong feel a little headache.
In short, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, and it seems that he has to give an explanation for the defeat of this munitions.
After receiving a call from the director, Kim Jae-ryong did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly checked out and left the hotel, and then hurriedly took a car and came to the headquarters of the Golden Gate Trading Company in Apgujeong.
Yes, you read that right, in country H, violent groups actually set up their headquarters in the center of country H, where every inch of land is valuable.
In fact, the bigwigs of the Kinmen crime syndicate do not like to be regarded as a violent group, they prefer to be regarded as entrepreneurs, and the Kinmen Trading Company, as the de facto largest gang in country H, actually built its headquarters in Apgujeong, Gangnam District, where every inch of land is expensive in Hancheng.
The nominal parent company of the Golden Gate Trading Company is called the Golden Gate Trading Company, and the boss of the association is called the president.
In fact, the president is in charge of day-to-day management, and there are also general and special affairs below. In terms of organizational structure, it is no different from the ordinary chaebol enterprises in country H. It's just more mysterious.
The whitewashed Kinmen criminal group not only has huge assets, but even a number of listed companies listed on the Korean Stock Exchange.
Because it is a shady business, there is no way to directly list and set up a board of directors like a large company, so a body such as a board of directors was established, and those who can become directors are naturally the eldest brothers of Kinmen Trading Company.
Although on the surface, the Kinmen criminal syndicate has long been whitewashed, but in fact, behind the scenes, this organization still controls many illegal businesses. On the surface, these businesses are actually all non-core businesses, and as for Director Lee, the boss of Kim Jae-ryong, he is a rising star in the group!
Jianghu people like Kim Jae-ryong are directly subordinate to the directors and work in the group, but for the sake of regularization, everyone still has to dress like those office workers when they come to the company, and ironically, the headquarters of the Kinmen Trading Company is located in Apgujeong, a prosperous commercial area in Hanseong, which has been a residential area for ministers and ministers since ancient times.
Therefore, daring to set up a company headquarters in Jiangnan District, where every inch of land is at a premium, the Kinmen Trading Company made it clear that they were not afraid of the prosecution's investigation.
The reason why Kinmen Trading Company has this self-confidence is not only because of the extremely cruel punishment methods for traitors, but also because they have a powerful backstage behind them. It's just that the secrets of these groups are not accessible to people of Kim Jae-ryong's level.
In short, once one foot enters the Golden Gate Trading Company, don't think about leaving alive in this life.
When Kim Jae-ryong arrived at the headquarters of Apgujeong Kinmen Trading Company, as soon as he got out of the car, he pinned the badge of the group member to the collar of his suit, and then walked in generously.
There are also ordinary office workers who work here, because it is impossible for a junior brother like Kim Jae-ryong to work from 9 to 5. However, in order to distinguish them from these ordinary members outside, Kim Jae-ryong and the others take a special elevator to the upper floors every time.
So, when the elevator door opened again, Kim Jae-ryong saw two strong men wearing the same badge as himself guarding the elevator door, and when they saw Kim Jae-ryong, the two bowed to him slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Every time Kim Jae-ryong comes here, there is always a sense of depression in his heart.
"Kim Jae-ryong! Why did you come so late, the director asked you to come just now! ”
"Director Wu! Who's in it? ”
Kim Jae-ryong said, took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to Director Wu!
He knew what Director Wu liked, so he always had a box of Cohiba on his body, but as an undercover agent, Kim Jae-ryong didn't want to leave too obvious a smell on his body, so he rarely smoked, and even if he did, he smoked different brands. As for Cohiba, it is a cigar brand that originated in Cuba and is loved by South American tycoons.
It can be quite difficult to smoke this brand of Cuban cigar in Korea, so this is not a light gift, and it is also a suitable gift for the person to do without worrying too much
However, this little favor is not enough to buy the henchmen around the director like Director Wu, of course, Kim Jae-ryong does not dare to do such an unrealistic small action, because once it is discovered, it is likely to be made into cement blocks and thrown into the sea, but everyone looks down and does not look up, it is still possible to make a convenience, so with the help of Kim Jae-ryong's efforts to light a cigarette for himself, Director Wu lowered his voice and whispered in Kim Jae-long's ear:
"Yesterday, Andong Bin came to ......"
"Ahh Thank you, Mr. Wu! ”
When Kim Jae-ryong heard this, he immediately guessed why he was called back. So, he walked to the door of Director Li's office, knocked on the door, and then tidied up his clothes.
"Come in!"
"Yes, Director!"
When Kim Jae-ryong walked into the office, he saw a middle-aged man sitting behind his desk, holding a cigar and spewing out clouds.
Sure enough, these guys are all cigar lovers.
Seeing Kim Jae-ryong walk in, the director stretched out his hand and motioned for Kim Jae-ryong to sit down.
"Kim Jae-ryong, I messed up the arms matter last time, what do you think is the reason for this incident?"
Director Lee looked at Kim Jae-ryong with a scrutinizing gaze, and Kim Jae-ryong knew that the incident of being raided by the police must have aroused his suspicions.
"Director, I'm a relatively straightforward person, I can't figure out how the marine police found us these days, at that time, the police were obviously ambushed in advance, and when I came back from the East China Sea, I found that there seemed to be a police downstairs in my house, so I wondered, could it be that someone leaked the news?"
"Oh? So who do you think is more suspicious? ”
Director Lee was still probing, and Kim Jae-ryong didn't dare to make eye contact with the other party, so he pretended to be pensive. Then carefully guided Director Li and said:
"Director, I have a little brother in Yuzhen, I think it is unlikely that the news leaked from our side, but on the fat man's side, there are many people...... Hey, if I can get this guy out, I'll have to send him to feed the fish with my own hands! Director, you know, as long as it is my responsibility, I Kim Jae-ryong will not shirk it, this time the harmful group has lost so much money, I can take the money to make up for it myself, and I will definitely not embarrass you! ”
Director Lee looked at Kim Jae-ryong, and then said as if he was suspicious:
"Where did you get all this money?"
"Truth be told, part of it is my own, and part of it is borrowed! The loan shark I borrowed on the condition that I promised to go to Gwangju to help the other party collect an account after a while! That's when people sold me a face! ”
Director Lee is still staring at Kim Jae-ryong, who knows that he may not believe it, but at the moment he can't be sure that the whistleblower is himself.
"Director, you don't believe me?"
Kim Jae-ryong stiffened his head and met Director Lee's gaze and asked.
Director Lee looked at him, and there was silence between the two, and after about a minute, Kim Jae-ryong only felt that the air in the office was about to freeze.
"Ha, how could it be! I doubt that no one can doubt you! ”
"Director! I ......"
"Okay, didn't you promise people to go to Gwangju to collect the bills, just right, during this time, you should go to avoid the limelight first! In short, I will continue to investigate this matter, as for the police, they should be waiting for us to hand over a few people, give them an explanation, and when the rumors pass, you can come back! ”
