The place where Lin Wei and Lu Xuanwu made an appointment was the Blue House.

This power-symbolizing building has always been an important symbol of South Korea, but only a handful of people can enter it.

After passing through the heavily guarded security, if you want to reach Lu Xuanwu's office, you also need someone to lead the way.

The person responsible for receiving Lin Wei was an assistant officer surnamed Wen, Wen Zhishi, who was a lawyer and had a gentle face and attitude of a man of the same age as Lu Xuanwu.

"I forgot to congratulate Secretary Wen for becoming the chief secretary again."

Lin Wei's words only made the man who had been smiling gently sigh.

"If it weren't for the president's impeachment, as you know, I'm not here."

When Wen Zhishi spoke, he looked quite helpless.

He was an important assistant and aide to Lu Xuanwu during the election, but he retired after Lu Xuanwu successfully ran for president.

It wasn't until Lu Xuanwu was facing impeachment that he once again turned the tide and became the impeachment agent of Lu Xuanwu's side, campaigning for him until he resumed his presidential seat.

Perhaps it was to repay the favor, or perhaps it was a deep realization that he could not lose the assistance of such an outstanding talent, so Lu Xuanwu appointed Wen Zhishi as the chief secretary, and he stayed in the Blue House.

"There are not many people like Secretary Wen who want to stay away from rights." Lin Wei said.

Wen Zhishi just smiled and said, "If you let Chairman Lin choose, become a company president or a president, I'm afraid your choice will be the same as mine, right?" ”

Lin Wei smiled and quipped: "It's hard to say, who knows which life is easier?" However, I can understand Secretary Moon's thoughts - becoming president of South Korea is not an easy task. ”

Wen Zhishi nodded approvingly, and said: "But fortunately, there are not a few years, and when President Lu's term is over, I am afraid that I will have to return to the profession of lawyer." ”

Moon Jae-seok's career as a lawyer is also brilliant enough, and he spent the first half of his life campaigning for the interests of workers, and he can be regarded as one of the few people with a conscience among the smart people in South Korea who hold the power.

Of course, no one is perfect, Lin Wei still has a shallow relationship with him, and he doesn't dare to make rash conclusions about him, like him, Lin Wei doesn't have a conscience? But when necessary, he can also temporarily block his conscience before talking.

The two chatted casually along the way, and also exchanged contact information by the way - Lin Wei is now the chairman of the big group, and Wen Zhishi knows that Lin Wei has amazing energy in some places, so he is naturally willing to make friends with him.

When he arrived at Lu Xuanwu's office, he looked up and saw the two of them talking happily, and immediately laughed: "I didn't expect you to have a good conversation." ”

The president's office is not very luxurious, but it is also antique, and the style is more Chinese.

"President Lin has some interesting ideas, not like a person of this age." Wen Zhishi quipped: "If he were a lawyer, I would definitely find a way to pull him into my office." ”

"Secretary Wen has an overreputation, not everyone can do a lawyer, a guy like me who gave up studying after graduating from high school, reading books every day is considered the limit, and I really want to memorize the legal terms."

Lin Wei made an expression of sparing me, which made the two of them laugh.

Lu Xuanwu stopped his official duties, invited Lin Wei to sit on the sofa, and picked up the teapot on the table: "When I was the same age as President Lin, I was afraid that I was still worried about what to do if I failed to repeat again-I have achieved a miracle to achieve today's achievements at this age." ”

The more he got to know Lin Wei, the more surprised Lu Xuanwu was at his achievements.

At such a young age, it only took such a short time to achieve a goal that many people could not achieve in several lifetimes, and its strength, luck and talent are indispensable.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Xuanwu's attitude towards Lin Wei is so cordial, and from the president's point of view, his corporate business and group industry are to some extent opening up new business areas for the South Korean Peninsula, and he is a leader in emerging industries that have the ability to compete overseas.

On the other hand, but from a human point of view, he has achieved such achievements at a young age, but he is still not arrogant or discouraged, and he is moving forward step by step, who knows where his final end will be?

Thinking about what happened later, Lu Xuanwu believes that if people in his faction want to regain the presidential throne in the future, including himself, they may not be able to do without Lin Wei's support.

Even as president at the moment, he occasionally relies on Lin Wei's public opinion work support, and his Seoul Group has indeed become the largest comprehensive media platform on the South Korean Peninsula by integrating the online media space of Lin Wei's NW company.

The only thing lacking may be the TV media, but the Seoul Daily also has a considerable stake in MCB in the three major stations, so it can be said that, on the whole, Lin Wei can indeed say that he is the first person in the media industry at present.

"I heard that President Mu is planning to officially abdicate to you?"

Lu Xuanwu chatted seemingly casually.

Lin Wei nodded, and said with a helpless smile: "Chairman Mu finally seized the opportunity to retire, and he really didn't want to do more than a day - at the end of August, I will officially vote and issue an announcement to take over as the chairman of the Seoul Group." ”

"Congratulations."

After getting the exact news, Lu Xuanwu first congratulated him a few times, then sat on the sofa, looked at Lin Wei with burning eyes, and finally said the reason for meeting today.

"Now, it's almost time to build momentum for the next presidential campaign, and I look at Zhang Bizhou and others in the conservative faction."

Lin Wei listened carefully on the surface, but in his heart, he secretly complained bitterly.

In his opinion, Lu Xuanwu's qi is now exhausted, and the strength of the entire faction has reached its final peak after the end of impeachment, and after that, there is only a decline in qi.

But Lu Xuanwu didn't think so - after the impeachment, he only felt that there were more righteous people in this world, everyone had a scale in their hearts, and what he did was still right and righteous, and he should continue to be supported by everyone.

Wen Zhishi did not leave, he sat on the sofa next to him to participate in the conversation, as Lu Xuanwu's most relied on confidant, Lu Xuanwu sometimes valued Wen Zhishi's opinions more than his own.

Meeting Lin Wei and gaining support was also one of Wen Zhishi's ideas.

Compared with Lu Xuanwu, Wen Zhishi is obviously more calm, his main purpose is to analyze Lin Wei and make a judgment, when Lu Xuanwu was talking, he noticed that Lin Wei did not seem to be optimistic about the results of Lu Xuanwu's next election, and this is also consistent with Wen Zhishi's judgment.

"I will cooperate with President Lew as much as possible."

Lin Wei just said such polite words, but in the end, he had to face Lu Xuanwu's warm invitation and make a statement.

"But as the head of the media, we must not lose our neutral reporting stance and the quality of the media."

As soon as these words came out, there was no more to say.

Lu Xuanwu's passion that was visible to the naked eye subsided, and he even subconsciously glanced at Wen Zhishi, but Wen Zhishi just drank tea and didn't speak, and didn't participate.

Until the conversation between the two is basically over.

How does Chairman Hayashi see the future situation?

Wen Zhishi abruptly asked the question.

Lin Wei glanced at Wen Zhishi and then at Lu Xuanwu, was silent for a moment, and finally did not choose to be sloppy.

He said in a deep voice: "I don't know what kind of situation you want to ask?" ”

"Naturally, what you want to say, I'm curious." Wen Zhishi asked with an unhurried smile.

Lin Wei pondered for a moment and said shallowly: "For the economy, for the time being, our overall economic situation has not improved, in general, the increase in national income is only basically with inflation and the change of the US dollar, prices continue to rise, and housing prices have repeatedly hit new highs."

As times change, the competition faced by our large companies will only become more severe, and the economic situation of the South Korean Peninsula that is too dependent on large corporations will also doom the average person to have fewer and fewer ways to rise.

President Lew is also facing growing skepticism.

Truth be told, according to the internal investigation of the newspaper, our experienced veteran editors through investigation and analysis, and the analysis of public opinion polls, President Lew's polls have shown a clear downward trend, and this trend I believe will inevitably cause the public to have low confidence in the new party."

Lin Wei didn't play sloppy at all, and told the truth all about the current situation and ideas he saw, some of which undoubtedly made Lu Xuanwu lose face, but he just listened patiently with a calm face, and never said a word of rebuttal.

"If we discuss the situation after the end of President Lew's term"

Lin Wei sighed: "I'm not optimistic that we can make breakthroughs or changes in many things. ”

Lu Xuanwu was speechless.

Wen Zhishi smiled because of Lin Wei's words, he was rare, a little more joy as if he was hunting, Lin Wei's words were basically similar to his analysis, it was really not easy to have such an opinion at such an age.

And what he is even happier about is Lin Wei's attitude - he can say these words bluntly, which shows that he is not the kind of pure businessman.

"So what do you think we should change?" The conversation was almost going to turn into an internal meeting.

Lu Xuanwu looked at Lin Wei.

But Lin Wei just helplessly spread his hands: "I can't do anything - in fact, I am quite consistent with many of President Lu's ideas, what you want to achieve is also what I want to happen, but this is the case."

I don't see hope either.

That's probably why many people want you to be president. ”

The conversation reached an impasse, and Wen Zhishi probably understood Lin Wei's character and thoughts, so he no longer pressed to ask, but instead asked if Lin Wei had encountered any trouble recently.

Lin Wei did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Recently, the Golden Gate Group planned to acquire the Zhao Group, but the Shunyang Group obstructed it and used a lot of off-market moves, including trying to stigmatize the acquisition process through the media."

He said bad things about Shunyang, it was really a set, don't say it, he really let him find a place and poke at the place that Lu Xuanwu and Wen Zhishi both hated.

He probably secretly found someone to fan the flames, found the employees of the Zhao Group, especially the low-level workers on the front line, and told them that we might lay off employees or reduce salaries on a large scale, and even might default on the project payment, and moved them to launch a sit-in downstairs in our company."

Lu Xuanwu asked out loud with a slightly serious expression: "Do you have any plans to fire employees?" ”

"Of course not!" Lin Wei sighed: "I really don't plan to fire anyone, and the protection of workers' rights and interests is also an important mandatory requirement of our company.

The business of the Zhao Group and the main business of Gammon are highly similar and complementary, and we can double our expansion with little to no change, which is also an important resource supplement for industries such as logistics."

After hearing his opinion and decision, Lu Xuanwu just nodded and stopped asking: "This is what should be done, no matter how big the business is, in the final analysis, it is inseparable from the dedication of the low-level workers, they don't want much, just food, clothing, housing and clothing, you and I are all from the bottom, but don't forget what we have encountered." ”

"Never forgotten." Lin Wei nodded solemnly.

That was the end of the conversation.

Wen Zhishi personally sent Lin Wei away, until he walked out of the Blue House, looking at the dark night, he sighed faintly, returned to the office, and saw Lu Xuanwu sitting by the window smoking.

"Planting stones, what do you think?"

"This son is by no means an idle person, without his help, after your term of office is over, it will be difficult for the people under you to do it."

"I mean Shunyang."

Lu Xuanwu smiled helplessly and turned his head to look at him: "You have already analyzed the matter for me after the end of the term, what else can I say?"

You think it's difficult, Lin Wei also thinks it's difficult, so it seems. It's just really hard. ”

Wen Zhishi nudged his glasses, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This may also be an opportunity - there are too many giant enterprises supporting the South Korean Peninsula as the cornerstone of the economy, and this is the root of South Korea's economic predicament."

"Do you want me to fight the chaebol again?" Lu Xuanwu held his chin bitterly.

"I have also heard a little about President Chen Xingjun of Shunyang, it seems that Shunyang is indeed in decline, and he dares to use such moves, and he can use them."

Wen Zhishi said.

Lu Xuanwu was silent for a moment, and finally, nodded slightly.

"Then why don't you give it a try, anyway, isn't my president here to make changes?"

"You're going to be dangerous."

"I'm already in danger."

Lu Xuanwu's expression was calm, he looked at Wen Zhishi for a while, and smiled at each other.

"Then give him a hand. But it can't defeat Shunyang, and an even more terrible Golden Gate appears. ”

"Understood."

Wen Zhishi smiled calmly: "I will start this matter and check it personally." ”

"Just waiting for your words." Lu Xuanwu laughed, got up, and moved his muscles: "It's time for dinner." ”

Now, it's time for a late-night snack."

"Why are you more annoying than my wife."

Leaving the Blue House, Lin Wei sat in the car and turned his head to look back.

He looked at the holy place in the hearts of many, the place where the throne of the South Korean Peninsula was, and his heart was unexpected. There's not much of a throbbing heart.

Is the throne there really the king's place?

Is the future of the South Korean Peninsula really determined by the people there?

Lin Wei retracted his gaze.

No!

No.

From now on. He'll dominate it all.

It's much better, although sleeping intermittently makes people dizzy, but the fever should be gone, and it shouldn't be yang, it may be a cold in the changing seasons, everyone pays attention to the temperature difference, the north is hot and cold a day a few days ago, or it's hot at noon and cold at night, I don't bother to pay attention to big pants and small vests all day long, and I carelessly get hit.
