With two weeks to go before the election, the gap between Choi Changdi and Ko Gengyeol's approval ratings has widened to 10%.

Honest public officials and sons-in-law of chaebol families have become the biggest reason for the inability to close the gap in approval ratings.

Early in the morning, Chen Ronghua came to the study and cried:

"Dad, please intervene in the next scene, if this continues, there will be no need for Emperor Chang to even participate in the election campaign."

Because of the disparity in the strength of the two.

The leadership of the opposition faction even proposed that Emperor Cui Chang give up this time, and if he challenged again next time, the only thing Chen Ronghua could rely on was Chen Yangzhe to intervene.

However, Chen Yangzhe scoffed: "It's too late, do I want to give money because of my son-in-law's election to make him promise to give red envelopes to all voters?" The most critical force in the election is the candidate's own ability, and your husband is so capable? ”

This is equivalent to blaming her daughter.

Chen Ronghua pitifully sold miserably in front of him: "Dad, for his election, I have chatted thousands of times with the dirty hands of the aunts who sell vegetables in the market!" I've done all of this for my daughter...... If Emperor Chang loses the election, won't I suffer these grievances in vain? ”

Chen Yangzhe stared at Chen Ronghua, a daughter born with a golden spoon, who was almost fifty years old, and was still talking nonsense.

"You are responsible for your husband's election to the end, and besides, that election fund is Dojun's money, although it can't be returned to him twice or three times, but at least some interest should be given to him, right?"

Chen Yangzhe severely criticized Chen Ronghua:

"I told you last time, don't underestimate Daojun, that guy has a contract in his hand, you better think clearly, if you can't win the election and can't give him the principal plus interest, what will he do then."

At this time, Chen Ronghua remembered the source of the money and the contract signed with Daojun.

Seeing his daughter's panicked expression, Chen Yangzhe smiled:

"Tsk, do you just remember it now? It's better to see him as soon as possible at such a time and say something soft. ”

Chen Ronghua was distraught, didn't hear the words behind, and hurriedly picked up his bag and ran out of the study.

Chen Ronghua met Daojun at the daily branch, and at this time he was drinking tea with Jiang Shengyu.

After hearing her intention, Chen Daojun said calmly:

"What? With 10 days left, you're going to give up? ”

"With the current trend, if you want to reverse this situation, you have to have a good counterattack, but all the means that need to be used have been used."

Chen Ronghua hung his head, and he no longer had the same high spirits as before.

"Really? Hmmm......"

Chen Daojun held back a smile on his face.

"So you mean that you can't win no matter what you do, don't you?"

"It's a pity, but that's it."

"Let me help you reverse it, shall you?"

“……”

Chen Ronghua didn't understand Chen Daojun's true intentions, but just blinked in confusion.

"Do you think I will give up obediently after investing tens of billions of won, and my money is not wasted."

"Ah, no, there's no such thing, because that's the way it is, Dojoon, I'm sorry."

When Chen Ronghua lowered her head, the expression on her face was very complicated, she was a woman who had never bowed her head except for her father Chen Yangzhe, but for the sake of her husband, she repeatedly begged her nephew, if it was known, it would be very embarrassing.

Chen Daojun put down the teacup and came to a conclusion.

"Please regain your confidence, and tell my uncle, you must do your best, I will do the rest, there will be a big change two days before the election, and ......"

Chen Daojun paused, looking at Chen Ronghua, who was worried and thought that he was going to open his mouth again:

"Including these, you have to remember that I have given a lot, so after my uncle becomes mayor, he must give me the reward he deserves immediately, immediately."

"Whatever you want, just tell me, and your uncle will do what you want."

"Be sure to remember this sentence!"

Looking at Chen Daojun's eyes, Chen Ronghua nodded vigorously.

"Do-joon, don't worry!"

After sending Chen Ronghua away, Chen Daojun looked at the text message he had just received from Jin Guanhyuk, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Come on, that guy sent me a message."

"Really? Say where? Kim Sung-chul got up suddenly.

"Starting at eight o'clock tonight, I will arrange a reporter in room 4 of the Japanese restaurant in Yeouido, and Kim Gwanhyuk said that room 3 or 5 will be tentatively determined."

Kim Sung-chul gave Chen Daojun a thumbs up: "Great, you don't leave any way out for the other party, OK, if you want to publish an exclusive report, you should call Xiancheng Daily and others, right?" ”

After receiving the confirmation, Kim Sung-chul began to call, and after the call with five or six reporters, Kim Sung-chul looked a little nervous.

"You say, is this guy really worth 20 billion?"

Kim Sung-chul doesn't have much of a problem with laundering 20 billion yuan from a daily private account, because he knows that as an ideal investor, investing in "people" is a great profit than losing tens of billions of won.

What he was worried about was whether Jin Guanhyuk had that weight in Gao Gengyeol, and whether the outside world was suspected of exaggeration.

Chen Daojun comforted him: "If my uncle loses the election, I still wish they couldn't pay back the money, and then the shares of Shunyang Department Store will automatically become mine...... There was no turning back from the bow, and he was now standing at the crossroads. ”

Yeouido, Japanese restaurant.

There are still two hours left before the meeting.

A group of staff members are busy nervously.

"The partition is not assembled, so let's quickly disassemble this and replace it with what we brought."

Kim Sung-chul had already prepared a new partition with the staff and stuffed it with a red envelope to the Japanese restaurant owner.

"We'll get back to the way we were when we're done later, okay?"

After feeling the feel of the thick envelope, the boss smiled brightly.

"Oh, president, of course I'm going to make it easier for you."

"It's 8 o'clock today, there's a room reserved for this number, right? Is it number 3 or number 5. ”

The owner of the Japanese restaurant looked down at the number, and after confirming it, he nodded with a smile:

"Well, that's right, the owner of this number made a reservation for room 5, because room 5 is more spacious."

"OK, come on, come on, move the door here, hurry up, it's here in room 5."

In less than 30 minutes, five or six staff members replaced the partition, and confirmed that the sound of clinking wine glasses could be heard clearly.

Room 4 is only Kim Sung-chul and reporters, and Room 3 is only Jin Do-joon.

"President Kim, although I don't know what it is, will it be hot to take this?"

Five journalists, each with an envelope in their seats.

"Reporter Park, just accept it, my boss said, this is all the travel expenses, the travel expenses, how can anyone find fault with the travel expenses given by others? Even if the driver of the total T goes to where to calculate the road fare, it is not a novelty, do not take it for nothing? ”

Seeing Kim Sung-chol playing poorly, the reporters smiled and accepted the envelope and took their seats.

"Just one thing, please don't mention the bleak prospects of Daya's construction in future news reports."

"Sure enough, this is a bribe, haha." The reporters burst into laughter.

"Don't, don't! Come on! That's all I want, come on, have a drink. ”

Kim Sung-cheol has not dealt with these people once or twice, so he naturally knows the truth of striking while the iron is hot.

After a few glasses of soju, the reporters began to talk to each other.

But when it was close to the appointed time, everyone was cautious in order to get good information.

At this time, I heard the sound of noisy footsteps outside, and the footsteps gradually reached the next room.

"Come, brothers, let's have a drink today, and after the vote is over the day after tomorrow, our Gao Genglie alternate will become the mayor of Gao Genglie, haha."

Hearing Gao Genglie's name from the next room, the reporters didn't dare to speak.

Although they are reporters from the Ministry of Economy, it is impossible for them not to know that Gao Genglie is currently the candidate with the highest approval rating.

"Who is it? Is it a supporter? ”

"Is it an election activist?"

"Shhh, that voice is familiar, be quiet first."

Afraid that the next room would find out, the reporters began to whisper.

"Well, what's wrong? People can't drink alcohol, so don't worry about it and keep drinking. ”

"President, be quiet, let's confirm."

Although Kim Sung-chul toasted the reporters, the reporters' attention was already focused on the next room.

Kim Sung-chul quietly snickered and began to look at such a reporter silently, and the voice in the next room became louder and louder.

"There is only one day left, in order to gather confidence, we will only have dinner today, and after the election, I will definitely not forget your hard work."

"Now it's certain that the head minister will become the deputy mayor for political affairs, right?" The person who said this said it with a flattering meaning in his mouth.

As soon as they heard that it was the deputy mayor of the political department, the reporters all took a breath, because they knew that the person next door who was questioned was the core figure of the election campaign.

There were even reporters who simply took out a small tape recorder.

"Hey! What do you people think of me as Kim Gwan-hyuk? Do you think I'm obsessed with that location? ”

After hearing Kim Gwan-hyuk's name, the reporters looked at each other and winked, maybe there would be a scoop.

"Oh, no, the head minister should inherit the position of the next mayor, haha."

"What? Inheritance? ”

As soon as he heard Jin Guanhyuk's rude voice, the next room suddenly fell silent, obviously this sentence was a bit heavy.

"Inheritance? What is Inheritance? I have opened up the market for our high candidates, and now I must nominate the person who will send me to Yeouido, so do you know how much effort I put into this election? ”

"Is this news true?" Someone else couldn't help but ask.

"What's the news?"

"Is it true that the son of a high candidate is exempt from military service?"

Jin Guanhyuk's tone was full of sarcasm: "Brother, are you simple or stupid? Will a high-ranking official like Alternate Gao Genglie send his children to the army? Only civilian children like us will go to the troops, understand. ”

Kim Sung-chul saw in his eyes that the reporters were all ecstatic.

The biggest weakness of Gao Genglie's candidacy is the exemption of his children from military service.

And these reporters have turned the tape recorder to the maximum power, just so that they can hear the exciting content coming from the next room more clearly.

Jin Guanhyuk seemed to be completely drunk: "You don't know at all, what did I do to prevent those three children from joining the army?" There are dozens of fake medical certificates I made myself, but that one is more unlucky, he gave birth in a cold country when he was working in diplomatic B, and if he had a child while working in country M, he would not have joined the army with the nationality of country M, hehe. ”

"No, if the high candidate child is a citizen of country M, he should take the initiative to enlist in the army when he runs as a candidate for mayor of H city, right?"

"Sounds like it does, it's a lucky guy anyway, haha."

The reporters next door are already on the verge of a butt.

Exciting!

That's already a scoop within a scoop!

If this news is published in the newspaper, even if Gao Genglie becomes mayor, he will be ousted, not to mention that he is still an alternate, and he can decide the future mayor's throne, and the media will not miss such a good opportunity.

The talkative guy just now still asked reluctantly: "Why didn't the third son of the high candidate be exempted from military service, but went to the defense team?" ”

"Because of Madame." Kim Gwanhyuk seemed to be chewing something in his mouth, and paused after speaking.

"What? Are you talking about Gao Genglie's alternate wife? ”

"Yes, because the third son is not his own child."

At this time, even Chen Daojun opened his mouth wide, meaning that Gao Genglie's third son was an illegitimate child?

"At that time, it was supposed to be a time when the high candidate was working alone in Japan, and a man lived abroad alone for a few years, so could no woman do it? I had an affair with a female staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Oh, my God!

The reporters covered their mouths with their hands.

"There is no way to be a high candidate, it is already very virtuous for my wife to agree to add that child to the household registration, I just sent him to serve in the military, I didn't think about sending him to the defense team, but because that guy has very poor eyesight, there is no way, so I went to the defense team."

When reporters heard this super-fat scoop, they couldn't hide their excitement.

But whoever it was, did not stand up.

Because they all thought of the identity of Gao Genglie's candidate, although the news can be reported, will the guy who writes the article in the future be targeted by the faction?

At this time, Kim Sung-chul seemed to be a little panicked and said, for fear of being heard by the people in the next room, he did not forget to lower his voice in a low voice.

"Hey, Reporter Choi, Reporter Park, you need to speed up."

"Why do you say that?"

The reporters also whispered.

Kim Sung-chul reminded everyone: "There are two things that are absolutely unbearable in our country, and the high candidates have been encountered, the son is exempted from military service, and the tickets of the parents who sent their children to the army are gone...... Cheating plus illegitimate children, half of the female votes are gone, so to speak, by now, the game is over. ”

"If this news is broadcast, the first-class hero who made Candidate Cui elected must be the first media to report exclusively, how can Shunyang Group sit idly by? Maybe if you're happy, you'll pay for a year's advertising."

Do you know what the value of this report is after listening to the explanation?

Kim Sung-chul could even come up with the reasons why they persuaded the director.

A sharp-eyed reporter slung a bag over his shoulder and stood up abruptly.

"President Kim, next time I invite you to have a drink, I'll go first."

Starting with one person, the other reporters also scrambled to leave the room.

Kim Sung-chol, who was left alone, also left his seat and turned to the opposite side.

"The reporters are gone, right?"

"Yes, like you said, prompted, and ran out like crazy."

"Guys who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, hehe."

Chen Daojun poured a glass of wine, and Kim Sung-chul drank it in one go.

"You heard that, right?"

"Yes, it seems to be for me to listen, how can I not hear such a loud noise."

"But. Is this true? ”

"Did you say bastard?"

Kim Sung-chul nodded.

Chen Daojun felt very happy: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, the reason why I chose to do this tonight is because as long as it breaks out, there will be no time to clean up the mess, which is very important." ”

"It's cruel, Jin Guanhyuk is the person next to him." Kim Sung-chul smacked his tongue.

"Often the people around you will be more painful when they betray."

Chen Daojun drank a glass of wine happily.

Kim Sung-chul pointed to the next door and asked him, "Now that guy, what are we going to do?" ”

"I need to think about this."

I don't know why, even if the other party betrayed Gao Genglie and fell to himself, Chen Daojun felt uncomfortable.

Erwuzai, can betray others and betray himself!

The next day, the reporters almost punched hard, and Gao Genglie's deeds made the front page headlines of major media.

Even the media that had a good relationship with him, when they saw other media outlets, they followed up one after another in the spirit of waste utilization.

"Damn, this, where is Kim Gwan-hyuk?"

Alternate Gao Genglie shouted in front of the auxiliary group and election staff officers with their heads down.

"His phone is off...... the assistant said weakly.

Gao Geng trembled with anger, he was so angry that he shook the newspaper in his hand: "Is this true?" Is that what I said yesterday when I drank with you? ”

"That, I'm not sure"

An assistant who drank with him yesterday didn't dare to say much, but as long as he saw the expression without confidence, he could know that the story told at the wine table was the source of this report.

From the morning news to the morning newspaper, it was all news of Gao Genglie's children's exemption from military service and illegitimate children, which was a devastating blow to Gao Genglie's personal image.

In the urgent public opinion survey, he has lagged behind Emperor Cui Chang by more than 10%.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

However, the head of the election department did not show up, so everyone panicked and failed to take countermeasures.

When the dazed Gao Gengyeol sat on the chair, the door suddenly opened, and Kim Gwanhyuk ran in.

As soon as he entered the room, he slapped his assistant, who had his head down, kicked him in the shin and started shouting.

"Stinky boy! Who came out! Sons of Dogs! ”

Because of the sudden outburst, the assistant did not dare to speak, only moaned.

"I'm sorry, waiting, it's all my responsibility, because I haven't drunk for a long time and said something I shouldn't have said, please kill me."

Kim Gwan-hyuk, who was kneeling on the floor of his office, began to cry.

He wants to solidify his image, he is not a betrayer, but just a drunken gaffe.

And the betrayer is one of the guys who stands with their heads bowed.

Gao Gengyeol's alternate looked at Jin Guanhyuk who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a groan in his throat.

"Is there still a chance to remedy? Is there a way? ”

"I will be preparing an urgent press conference immediately, and I will be asking the media to make corrections within today."

Gao Genglie buried his body in the chair and waved his hand.

"Let's all go out and act quickly."

As soon as he walked out of the door, Jin Guanhyuk roared at the people in front of him:

"Who is it? Who exactly spread it? ”

In Kim Guanhyuk's vicious eyes, everyone glanced at each other, but who would admit it?

They had a great time last night, but they came home drunk and slept soundly, and as soon as they opened their eyes in the morning, this kind of thunderbolt happened.

Who is going to reason with this?

After a long time, Jin Guanhe, who had vented, hung his arm weakly and waved his hand:

"Okay, let's talk about it after the election tomorrow, there should be no betrayers until today, and everyone should not give up until the end, do you understand?"

"Yes."

The people dispersed, and Kim Guanhyuk, who was alone, let out a long sigh.

He didn't sleep all night last night, but he didn't regret it at all, but his whole body was full of excitement.

It turns out that betrayal feels so wonderful.

He just wanted to see Gao Genglie's angry look.

Aren't you very capable, look how you struggle!

For Chen Daojun.

Kim Gwan-hyuk is determined to be loyal to the end for the time being.

Because it was not a scoop, Chen Yangzhe watched the news attacking Gao Genglie's candidate all day long, and turned off the TV while shaking his head.

Because it was a secret election, ordinary people did not know the situation during the event, but the results of the public opinion survey were already on Chen Yangzhe's table.

Election experts said their son-in-law would be elected by a margin of 7 percent.

If Gao Genglie's personality collapsed to this extent the day before the vote, no one could afford it.

The client, Gao Gengyeol, held an emergency press conference to urge an immediate cessation of false news reports, but Choi Changdi's camp threatened to start with the paternity confirmation process for his third son and wife.

This incident is obviously an insider's report.

The media, including Xiancheng Daily, all opened fire at the same time, except for certain people who provided definite information.

"By the way, he actually took down Gao Genglie's henchmen, this guy can do it......"

Chen Yangzhe has seen several people who have devoted themselves to politics.

Revel in the sweetness of power, you will not be swayed by money, of course, there are many people who are swayed by money, but it is obvious that the character of these guys themselves determines that he is destined not to go far.

Guys with big ambitions only take the money they need to hold power, and their subordinates use it as a means to make money.

Gao Genglie's henchman must be a guy with huge dreams.

It shouldn't be someone who is swayed by money......

Chen Yangzhe got up.

It's been a long time since he's done it himself to see someone.

As soon as I walked out of the study, the waiting secretaries came running over one after another.

"Get ready for the car, I need to get out for a while."

"Are you going to the company?"

"Hurry up and prepare."

"Yes."
