[Episode 106] Indus Trading Company
Siwoo Lee, who was preparing step by step to fetch information from below, looked at the article.
＜Governor Kang Eung-ryong confirmed as the party leader of the Peace Party.＞
Although it was an article with a simple title, this article was the number one article on the portal site.
And when Lee Si-woo saw the reporter’s name, he laughed.
― Author: Reporter Seon Seon-yeon
After checking the article, Siwoo Lee called somewhere.
As he stepped out of the office, the warm sunlight shone intensely on him.
Siwoo Lee raised his hand and looked up at the sky, heard the voice of Park Soo-beom who answered the phone, and said.
“Let’s burst it now, Chairman Park.”
[All right.]
“I wonder how far it will fall.”
There was only one way to get Kang Eung-ryong off his seat.
At present, it is difficult to gather evidence that Indus dumped waste illegally.
I wanted to get rid of the Indus right away, but this took time.
In the meantime, the data collected by Shin Ae-ra and Park Soo-beom is enough to put Kang Eung-ryong into a corner.
[You will probably fall into the abyss. Maybe it will fall faster than President Lee thought. Whoops.]
“I look forward to it.”
* * *
Park Soo-beom hung up the phone and put down his phone.
“Are you CEO Lee Si-woo?”
“Yes, lady.”
“What did you say?”
“I ordered Kang Eung-ryong to break out of corruption.”
The woman who was sitting with a proud expression put down a mug of hot coffee.
She is now sitting in Park Soo-beom’s seat with her legs crossed.
“Aren’t you the one with low self-esteem enough to listen to the instructions of the young CEO?”
“I only called it that way because the one I said would be above me, my lady.”
Si-woo Lee simply said as a doctor what would happen if he exploded now.
However, Park Soo-beom was going to faithfully follow his words.
“Then, CEO Park is very good at his conduct.”
“I know who I am because of who I am. Had it not been for the old man and the young lady, I would probably be lying on the floor by now.”
“Are you underestimating your self-worth? President Park is an outstanding person.”
“No matter how good I am, I cannot get to this point on my own.”
Insu-in, who was looking at Park Soo-beom, smiled brightly and lifted the teacup she had put down again.
“I hope that the representative will observe what he said. Ae-ra, I heard that the person she trusted and relied on was CEO Lee Si-woo.”
“CEO Lee Si-woo will be the person who will bring change to the young lady. And Miss Aera will have the greatest influence on her regaining her dignity.”
“is that so? But I heard that CEO Lee Si-woo has decided to take charge of the Indus business.”
How will Indus reveal to the world what it has wrapped up and hidden?
Will he be able to find evidence that even Park Soo-bum couldn’t find?
“Yes, lady.”
“Can CEO Lee Si-woo find out? what do you think?”
“I will find it.”
“You have a confident look. Did you not know that CEO Park could be so trustworthy to someone?”
“Doesn’t that mean you’re that talented? The elderly are also looking forward to it.”
Did Shin Won-sun really like Lee Si-woo?
she wondered
No matter how much Shin Ae-ra liked, Shin Won-sun was stubborn.
I also knew that if I didn’t like her, I wouldn’t have let her meet Shin Ae-ra in the first place.
‘But the fact that the uncle openly supports CEO Lee Si-woo means that he liked it that much. Well, that’s from my uncle’s point of view, not me.’
She was the woman who was evaluated to resemble Injehu the most.
Her brilliant brain and abilities have always made her shine.
“I’ll go see you.”
“Do you want to meet CEO Lee Si-woo?”
“I believe in Chairman Shin’s eyes, but I want to see and judge for myself. You know. What kind of child Aera is to me.”
“May I ask why you care about her so much? I don’t think it’s just a simple feeling of guilt.”
“Hmm, why does our CEO Park ask such a question?”
“I am not a lady, I am an old man. That is the best answer I can give you.”
Although he treated Insu-in with respect due to his relationship with Shin Won-sun.
But he wasn’t the taker’s person.
“It’s not just a feeling of guilt. There are things that I do to repay the kindness I received from Donghwan oppa, but that alone will not explain my actions.”
“I am a person who wants Miss Ae-ra to be happy. The young lady, who is the last blood of the old man, is the one to protect with the risk of my life.”
Insu-in smiled at Park Soo-beom’s serious eyes and tone.
“From the moment I saw Ae-ra, she became my daughter. Should I call it maternal love?”
“… It might turn into an obsession.”
“It doesn’t turn into an obsession. If I had tried to be obsessed, would I not have stood in front of Ae-ra right away?”
* * *
Siwoo Lee did not choose any means and methods.
When it comes to Indus-related stories, you need to check every single rumor.
‘At least I’ll have to watch him completely collapse so as not to touch Ae-ra noona.’
It wasn’t that he was angry that he was fooled by Kang Eung-ryong’s mask.
Because Siwoo Lee was weaker than Kang Eungryong.
It was natural for the strong to use the weak.
In this society, there were a lot of people who even did worse.
However, what makes him angry is that he tried to touch Shin Ae-ra.
I didn’t have time to look around Nuri to find out about Indus.
Within a month, you have to find out everything about Indus and expose it.
Only then could Siwoo Lee stop wasting time with this.
There was a long way to go, and I had to continue to grow steadily.
Han Kang-ho created a meeting for the affected businesses and individuals.
Although only one day had passed, Han Kang-ho quickly established an information network.
Although it was overshadowed by Siwoo Lee’s performance, he was also a person with the potential to raise the junk dealer to the grand prize.
The momentum was also significant.
‘How are you going to get through this situation? Are you going to stick with excuses like everyone else?’
Kang Eung-ryong’s corruption case, which started going up since yesterday, created all kinds of noise.
Now, with only the inauguration ceremony remaining as party leader, a close relationship with the Haeun group was revealed.
The corruption case against Kang Eung-ryong was reported day after day to the point where it was noisy all day.
The fact that the Ha-eun group purchased a large amount of land in the redevelopment area of Pyeongtaek and the list of companies that received political funds from Kang Eung-ryong spread on the Internet.
Contrary to Lee Si-woo’s expectations, Kang Eung-ryong prepared to hold a press conference surprisingly quickly.
* * *
“hello? My name is Eung-ryong Kang, Governor of Gyeonggi-do.”
“Governor, do you know that there are currently ledgers on the Internet that contain information about the relationship and corruption with the Ha-eun group?”
Reporters who drew friendly articles about Kang Eung-ryong were now scattered all over the place.
Sun Seon-yeon, who was given priority to ask questions first, asked him with a solemn look.
“I know. I am sorry for causing concern to the people. The information about me that is currently spreading on the Internet is unproven.”
“What do you think of the relationship with the Ha-eun group? As a result of investigation by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it is said that the purchase of land in the redevelopment area of Pyeongtaek under the name of Haeun Group was captured, is that true?”
“I have no relationship with the Ha-eun group. I can promise you, betting on the position of governor.”
Kang Eung-ryong strongly denied the question asked by Sun Seon-yeon.
The bond with Ha-eun’s group was carried out very secretly, leaving no trace.
That is why I thought that no matter how great Shin Won-sun was, it would not be able to bring proper evidence.
“How will the governor prove that there is no affiliation with the Ha-eun group?”
“The Gyeonggi Provincial Government will start a thorough investigation related to the redevelopment of Pyeongtaek. We will follow the decision of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and if the public asks us to stop the redevelopment project in Pyeongtaek, we will do so.”
There was no way to be free from Shin Won-seon’s attack.
If it was a close relationship with the Haeun group, it was obvious that they would think that the redevelopment could not be canceled.
‘I worked hard to appease Ha-eun’s group, but the damage I inflicted can only be compensated for after I become president.’
If he became president, his dream, he could bring more wealth to the Ha-eun group.
And I was thinking of giving shame to Shin Won-sun, who put him in this position.
“As this is a project carried out with the precious taxes of the precious Gyeonggi residents, we will conduct a more thorough investigation so that the redevelopment of Pyeongtaek will not be stopped.”
There are six months left until the redevelopment begins.
We cannot allow the project to be suspended as it is in the yard where the land for the planned redevelopment in Pyeongtaek is being purchased.
And after Kang Eung-ryong’s press conference, Haeun’s group made an official announcement.
It was a decision that the Haeun Group would hand over all the land it had purchased at the corporate level to Gyeonggi-do at a low price.
In any case, it was enough for the Haeun group to simply recover the invested funds.
Kang Eung-ryong bought the land in Pyeongtaek even before he became the governor, and even if he sells it now, he judged that it would give the Haeun group a huge profit.
Above all, it was necessary to be wary of the suspension of the redevelopment project.
Since you have already decided to take charge of the demolition and construction projects, the demolition and construction projects will be able to earn more money than the money you get from land.
Shin Ae-ra, who was watching Kang Eung-ryong’s press conference, couldn’t stop laughing.
As soon as the press conference was over, I checked everything that was announced by the Haeun group.
“I knew that Kang Eung-ryong would not be taken lightly, but I didn’t know that he would act so quickly.”
Now the turn has passed.
Having defended the attack prepared by Shin Won-seon, it was Kang Eung-ryong’s turn to attack.
The bad public opinion was quickly restored.
The people who cursed and pointed at Kang Eung-ryong welcomed his decision again.
And thanks to Haeun Group’s quick action, the redevelopment of Pyeongtaek was highly likely to be implemented as it is.
Shin Won-sun, who turned off the TV next to Shin Ae-ra, bit her lip.
“Now it’s Kang Eung-ryong’s turn to attack me.”
“Ara.”
“I’m going to use it as an excuse for my relationship with Siwoo to continue attacking me.”
He did not listen to Kang Eung-ryong’s words that he would conduct a thorough investigation.
Shin Ae-ra was a public official in charge of the Pyeongtaek redevelopment project, and was the representative of the company that won the bid for the Nouri demolition project.
“What were you going to do? Now, the right to attack has passed to Kang Eung-ryong.”
“I had no idea it would be done so quickly. I didn’t know Haeun’s group would help Kang Eung-ryong to this extent.”
Shin Ae-ra sighed and heard her phone ringing.
– Siu.
Shin Ae-ra, who confirmed her name, answered the phone right away.
“Yeah, Shiuya.”
[Did you confirm Kang Eung-ryong’s press conference?]
“yes… … .”
[Sister, don’t be shaken. Do you remember what I said to always stand up proudly?]
“remember!”
Shin Ae-ra straightened her posture and nodded her head strongly.
[Now, Kang Eung-ryong will attack. He’s probably attacking his sister and trying to shake Kang Dong at the same time. I’m going to move behind the scenes so that Kang Dong’s stock plummets.]
“… What should I do?”
[The Haeun group has been interested in steel mills for a long time.]
Haeun’s group always envied the prince group.
Efforts were made to establish a steel mill that became the driving force behind the Jehu Group.
However, they gave up on establishing a steel mill even with enormous financial power.
They knew that if they attacked Shin Ae-ra, Kang-dong could be shaken.
“If the stock goes down, Haeun Group will come forward and buy the released stocks.”
[You may need the help of the prince group. For now, defending Kang Eung-ryong’s attack is our priority.]
“… Is it possible to defend?”
[Is it possible. Perhaps the president is thinking about how to respond to this.]
Now, Siwoo Lee’s calls were all streaming through the speakerphone.
Shin Won-sun, who had been listening carefully to his words, stood up.
and said in a low voice.
“CEO Lee, Kang Dong’s stock will never plummet. Even if they attack Ae-ra, Kang-dong’s stock will rise even more.”
[…] Do you plan to make it skyrocket rather than let it plummet?]
“The Jehu Group will soon decide to invest in the Gangdong Steel Works.”
[You were preparing in advance, Chairman.]
“Business should always be done with the worst in mind. Doesn’t this president know that too?”
[The president is right.]
“Even if the Haeun group is dead and awake, they can never surpass the prince group. I’m not stupid enough to be beaten by a corporation that doesn’t even know its own fraction.”
