Meanwhile, Hyun-joon, who arrived at school, finished the administrative processing of the official documents sent by the department assistant just in time, and came out of school early in time for the dinner appointment.
It was because of the dinner appointment with the incumbent prosecutor, Kim Joong-ki.
Kim Hyung-jun’s uncle, chief prosecutor Kim Joong-ki.
The dinner date with him is today.
After a while, Hyun-jun arrived at a Japanese restaurant in Gangnam.
Prosecutor Joong-Ki Kim hadn’t come yet, and instead, Attorney Byeong-Ho Son had arrived first.
Attorney Byeong-ho Son had previously stopped by [C&K Investment], met CEO Dennis Kim, received some documents, and after handling the work, he came here on the same path.
#
“Haha, Professor! Really congratulations. You finally own an investment company.”
“thank you. Mr. Lawyer. But there is still a lot missing. Please help me a lot.”
“Ah, are you saying this? Aside from being a contract customer, I also invested in [C&K Investment], so I have no choice but to pay attention to what I do.”
“So that’s how it works.”
Hyunjoon smiled.
Currently, Attorney Son Byeong-ho decided to invest 100 million won in [Farm Blockbuster Inc].
[C&K Investment] decided to invest a whopping 500 million won.
He paid a lot of attention.
On the other hand, Hyun-joon also thought that lawyer Son Byung-ho was quite smart.
Because, [C&K Investment] will have no choice but to grow into a tremendous investment company.
It is because the largest shareholder himself has ‘ghost eyes’.
“Come, sit down.”
“yes.”
At the same time, Attorney Son Byung-ho was secretly recommending a seat at the head of the table to Hyeon-jun.
It is the most central seat inside the table.
Because, Attorney Son Byeong-ho became involved in the process of depositing Hyun-joon’s funds into [C&K Investment’s] corporate account, and at that time, he came to know the details of Hyun-joon’s assets in the United States.
At least, it would be more helpful for the lawyer in charge to know the current situation accurately, so Hyun-jun disclosed his assets at that time.
Because of that, he was astonished after learning that Hyun-joon was a wealthy man with an asset of over 3 trillion won.
He had been kind before, but now he had no choice but to treat Hyeon-jun more carefully.
“Oh, no. Mr. Lawyer. Of course, the lawyer sits in this seat.”
That is, three people will come together. Isn’t the eldest lawyer Sohn Byeong-ho? Of course, in terms of social position, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki is the incumbent prosecutor, so his prestige is great, but isn’t lawyer Son Byeong-ho also a former prosecutor?
In the end, it was natural for Sohn Byeong-ho to occupy the top seat.
However, Son Byeong-ho’s position was different. Isn’t Hyun-joon a surprisingly wealthy man of 3 trillion won, in addition to being his own customer?
While defending the family of the head of a conglomerate, Attorney Son Byeong-ho got used to bending down all the time.
So, since he maintained that attitude towards Hyeon-jun, he naturally recommended Hyeon-jun to the top seat.
However, when Hyun-jun refused, lawyer Son Byung-ho became embarrassed.
At this time, Hyeonjun spoke quietly.
“Still, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki is coming, and it would be better for the lawyer to sit in the upper seat.”
So, let’s think about the face of Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki. Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki, who doesn’t know why, might be offended if young Hyeon-joon sits in the senior seat. Rather, Hyeon-jun thought that the atmosphere would be much better if lawyer Son Byeong-ho sat in the top seat.
“Ah, then I can’t help it. This time I will be forced to sit here.”
So the place was set.
Hyunjoon sat and waited for a while.
Shortly thereafter, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki appeared just in time for the appointment at 7:00.
#
“Haha, come on.”
“Ah, senior. Long time no see. Didn’t you say goodbye?”
“Well, I am very satisfied with my life as a lawyer. Oh, this is Professor Choi Hyeon-joon.”
Attorney Byeong-ho Son introduced Hyun-joon.
Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki, who briefly greeted attorney Son Byeong-ho, looked at Hyeon-joon with a very intense look.
Again, the intimidation of the incumbent prosecutor is not normal.
Attorney Son Byung-ho, a former chief prosecutor, has sharp eyes sometimes, but is usually gentle.
Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki felt as if he was holding a knife firmly in his eyes.
“Ah, this is how we meet. Professor Choi. This is Kim Joong-ki.”
“yes. nice to meet you I am Hyunjun Choi.”
We shook hands.
It was a very powerful handshake.
“Haha, then everyone sit down.”
Attorney Byeong-ho Son acted like a host and spoke.
Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki took off his thin black coat, hung it on one of the loops, and sat down.
Right next to Hyunjoon.
#
“Well, first of all, Professor Choi, thank you again.”
A low-pitched, but rather powerful voice.
There seemed to be a lot of power in his voice.
“Oh, no. Isn’t it natural to help someone in need?”
“Well, that’s right.”
He nods his head, and at this moment glances at Hyun-joon, but his eyes are subtly sharp. The sharpness that lawyer Sohn Byeong-ho said was felt like that.
“Come on, let’s have a drink first.”
Attorney Son Byeong-ho, who arrived here first, seemed to have arranged it in advance, and alcohol came in just in time.
Attorney Son Byeong-ho carefully poured alcohol into each glass. And Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki received the bottle and politely poured it into Attorney Son Byeong-ho’s glass.
“I think it was fate that we met like this. Let’s drink happily.”
As if trying to break the initial awkwardness, Attorney Son Byeong-ho kept talking.
Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki calmly emptied the alcohol in the glass at once.
And, as if he had no intention of eating snacks such as sea cucumber or sea squirt, he immediately said what he wanted to say as soon as he put the glass down.
In other words, like a very busy prosecutor, he seemed to have a personality that could never tolerate questions.
“But, Professor Choi.”
“yes?”
“I asked Hyeongjun about this and that. I picked up all the hotel CCTVs that day and figured it out.”
“yes. So?”
“I heard that the reason we met Hyungjun that day at the Sky Lounge bar was to do some sort of recruiting work, is that correct?”
He was clearly aware of the situation before and after.
In other words, whether or not Kim Hyung-joon explained the situation in detail, he would have grasped the issue through a sufficiently different route.
However, at this time, Hyun-jun felt a bit interrogated.
Lawyer Son Byeong-ho was answering first, as if he had noticed Hyeon-joon’s feelings right away.
“Oh, look. Didn’t I already explain all of that? Our Professor Choi is not an ordinary university professor, he works at a company, and he also has amazing abilities in terms of investment. It was a kind of office worker interview to give Hyungjun Kim a good opportunity. Actually, Professor Choi almost became a big victim. Wouldn’t it be rather serious if you were caught by those heinous bastards?”
“Ah, but senpai!”
“Hey. You know too! That Professor Choi has no legal problems. During the interview process, Hyungjun Kim finally told the truth. So, Professor Choi was surprised and left his seat. what the! Hey. Inspector Kim! Why are you like this! If you’re going to ask such a question in a place like this, shouldn’t you rather not make an appointment!”
Attorney Son Byeong-ho suddenly reveals his displeasure.
Then, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki’s face immediately hardened.
Looking at his furrowed brow, it looks like he has an expression of disapproval.
However, as soon as the face became strange, the expression suddenly changed.
“Oh, sorry. Seniors. haha! I can’t help it because of this guy’s habit. I just wanted to ask you one more time just in case. Indeed, Professor Choi. sorry. These days, I think I was very sensitive to the kids who manipulated the state, so I was rude. sorry.”
“yes.”
At this time, Hyeon-jun did not show any modesty and answered ‘yes’.
Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki opened his mouth again with a bitter smile.
“Actually, we also did some research on the situation, but if Hyung-jun had sneaked into the new company that the professor is involved in, the professor would have been quite embarrassed. I agree with you on that point. Indeed, isn’t the end of the world! I don’t know why the stock version of this guy is like that. They’re the ones who only need to manipulate the state, so now they’re wielding a knife and trying to kill people. Hee hee true. Ah, Professor Choi! May I pour you a drink?”
Chief Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki has lost a lot of his sharp energy from the beginning.
Kim Joong-ki, who has a handsome middle-aged appearance, but has sharp eyes, has softened his eyes before he knew it.
Come to think of it, if Hyeon-Jun had attended this event alone, the atmosphere would have been in a bad mood.
It was true that Attorney Son Byeong-ho, who was present at this meeting, played a significant role.
This is because Attorney Son Byeong-ho instantly refreshed the atmosphere.
“yes. thank you.”
Hyunjoon took a drink from an empty glass. I also poured alcohol for Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki.
“By the way… lastly, can I ask you one more question?”
Then right at that moment.
“Hey! Inspector Kim!”
Attorney Son Byeong-ho raised his voice again.
Then, Chief Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki smiled and raised both hands.
It’s a gesture to calm down.
And he smiled and opened his mouth right away.
“Professor Choi. Seeing that he even brings bodyguards with him, he seems to be a man of considerable wealth, is that true?”
After glancing at Attorney Byeong-ho Son, Hyeon-jun immediately replied.
“yes. But in fact, rather than being a wealthy person, I have a slightly higher return on investment.”
“Oh, I heard you are really good at investing. In particular, I heard that the assets on the US side are enormous.”
At that moment, Hyun-joon was immediately taken aback.
Although we are already discussing tax-related matters with the National Tax Service through a tax accountant.
already know that
ah!
There was a large amount of money transferred from an American account, but it was unknown whether it had been delivered there.
But at that moment, Attorney Son Byeong-ho shouted again.
“Hey! It’s just personal information, but how do you know that? Could it be that Professor Choi is being investigated and something is being investigated?”
Attorney Son Byeong-ho’s sharp tip.
Then, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki shook his hand again and said no.
“Oh, no. Seniors. Because of the high amount of money, other institutions have come to cooperate with foreign exchange. That’s how I got to know it.”
I see
Because it’s such a huge amount of money.
Hyun-joon deposited approximately $400 million in cash in Korea first. This is to resolve some tax issues early and to put them in [C&K Investment] in the form of new operating investments in addition to capital.
In addition, it plans to transfer an additional $1.6 billion of the $2.34497 million remaining in the US account to Korea in turn.
This is also because, in addition to solving tax problems later, he plans to put more investment into [C&K Investment] and later call his assets under the name of [C&K Investment].
On the other hand, Attorney Son Byeong-ho showed a very serious expression.
At the same time, he began to explain Hyun-joon’s general situation to Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki.
At this time, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki listened quietly and then nodded.
“Then can I… see the investment status papers? I will check and if there is anything I can help with, I will help then.”
uh? What is this?
Isn’t that a sudden change in attitude?
At that moment, Attorney Son Byeong-ho smiled as if he noticed something and asked again as if to confirm.
“So you really want to help? Or are you going to investigate?”
“Haha, why are you like that? Seniors! Isn’t it Professor Choi who saved Hyungjun? I owe a lot of debt, and seeing that you are so active, it seems that Professor Choi is not an ordinary person. Well, first of all, after figuring it out on my own, if there are no legal issues, I’ll cut all the things after that. How is it?”
“uh? You really want to cut it, do you mean?”
“yes. Seniors.”
“Can I really believe that?”
“Of course. Senior, don’t you know well? That I must take responsibility for what I said.”
Attorney Son Byeong-ho then nodded.
“Well then, Professor Choi! Those materials…”
In other words, the question is whether it is okay to hand over the investment details to Chief Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki in advance.
At that moment, Hyeonjun thought for a moment.
It started with Kim Hyung-joon’s case, and eventually the matter is escalating due to the problem of Hyun-joon’s investment return.
On the other hand, if the Kim Hyung-joon case hadn’t happened that way, maybe prosecutors in the stock price manipulation crime field, starting with that prosecutor Kim Joong-ki, might have searched Hyun-joon with a very cold, knife-like standard.
There won’t be any particular legal problems though.
Being called here and there, Hyeonjun was probably very uncomfortable. Because the revenue itself is huge.
“Um, good. Attorney Hand. However, it will not be possible to completely hand over the data, so instead, what if the prosecutor just looks at it in the presence of Attorney Sohn, and then Attorney Sohn collects it again?”
As soon as Hyun-joon agreed conditionally, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki’s expression changed.
Anyway, showing the material to yourself is proof that you have that much confidence.
Aside from that, I want to repay Hyeon-jun for saving his nephew who was about to die.
If Hyun-joon, the person in charge, was proud like that, then he had a reason to quietly step out and put up a clear protective shield.
So, Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki’s expression soon became very bright.
