＜ Catch Hyunjun Choi 03 ＞
＜122＞
These days, Professor Lim Hak-jin of the Shinkuk University School of Medicine has been particularly nervous.
The media articles that broke out last week and made the Republic of Korea buzz.
Because of such articles, he often lost sleep at night, and before he knew it, dark circles under his eyes began to stand out.
It was because of Professor Hyunjun Choi.
“Professor, so how are we going to deal with it in the future? Surely I didn’t say I heard! I heard him talking to his lawyer, and I heard him mentioning the prosecutor. Professor, shouldn’t we hurry up and find a lawyer first?”
Professor Lim Hak-jin, secretary of the planning committee, continued to complain while talking on the phone with professor Ki-young Lee, chairman of the planning committee.
In fact, when there is a problem, there is no end to it if you solve it right away, but at that time, the young professor came out too strongly and he had no choice but to let it go. That’s what you’ll regret later.
“I’m going crazy these days. Surely we won’t go back to the old ones?”
Professor Lim Hak-jin, secretary of the planning committee, is getting more and more anxious.
In fact, there are only one or two things that have been concocted so far in collaboration with Professor Lee Ki-young.
Planning of government research funded projects in which university professors mainly participate. And planning various practical research projects related to companies, etc. He was very involved in the planning of various projects.
Of course, none of the problems surfaced each time. However, it was a situation overflowing with issues that could potentially become a big problem if someone decided to search.
And how many times did he go to a room salon with Professor Lee Ki-young to create such a research project and for such a project?
Of course, it is for the purpose of giving money to the civil servants who hold real power.
And it was true that they received various kinds of support from various companies under that name.
In other words, when money is transferred from companies to university industrial complexes in the form of industry-university research projects, they can collect up to 60% or 70% of the research funds for the research project in the name of internal labor costs. In other words, if 100 million won of industry-university research funds come in, the professor can legally receive a total of about 60 to 70 million won in monthly installments.
To be honest, that’s a legal bribe.
It was blind money that would never be taken, that no one would argue with.
“professor! But the professor also took care of the children’s labor costs, right? Me too, but what should I do?”
Professor Lim Hak-jin grew more and more anxious.
Things I’ve just taken for granted without ever thinking that it was wrong.
It’s kind of like a custom.
And it included a way to get some of the graduate student labor costs back and transfer it to another account.
It’s the way it was called ‘rap b’ in the past.
Of course, the use of such a ‘lab b’ is always opaque.
Of course, the external justification is that it will be easier to purchase research equipment through ‘Lab B’, and it will be more freely executed for insufficient labor costs for students, insufficient travel expenses, and ambiguous professor travel expenses.
However, the existence of such a ‘rap b’ is absolutely illegal.
Labor cost useful!
In particular, in the case of Professor Lim Hak-jin, he has been using such ‘lab b’ as his pocket money. As a result, he began to worry greatly about the matter.
And at this time, the slightly reminded voice of Professor Lee Ki-young, chairman of the planning committee, was heard again.
“hey! Professor Lim! Why do you keep breaking out like that? If you’re that worried, you can sort it out quickly from now on. I heard some from other professors. For that matter, they said that they could insist that they bought research equipment with that money. Set the cost moderately, and buy moderate research equipment quickly. Then you won’t have any problems at all. C Pearl! However, our money goes into it separately. You have to vomit it up again! Hey Professor Lim! But how much is Professor Lim? I’m roughly 300 million won.”
At the same time, Professor Lee Ki-young gets annoyed.
However, the same is true for Professor Lim Hak-jin.
In the end, he himself has to vomit about 200 million won or so.
In other words, through the ‘rap b’ format, he personally spent a whopping 200 million won.
Then, Professor Lim Hak-jin suddenly felt very unfair.
In fact, did he just spend the money on his own?
Of that money, tens of millions of won were spent while visiting room salons with government officials. It’s not like he was just there to have fun.
In other words, that is how he got the government research project. And with that, he gave the graduate students labor costs, and was able to supply the students with an abundance of experimental materials.
The university side is not without benefits at all.
When a research project is selected, around 20% of the total research budget is taken away from the university industrial complex in the name of indirect cost.
In addition, if the number of graduate students increases, won’t the graduate school tuition income of the university headquarters grow vertically?
“Professor, I am so frustrated that I am going crazy. It’s not that we’ve only done good things, it’s all for the students and for the school.”
Professor Lim Hak-jin, who protests with a voice of bolmen like that.
However, the reason he has no choice but to do so is because the research grants he received are not just being used in vain.
Even a single specific antibody or genetic analysis kit required for various studies can cost as high as several million won or more.
Students use such multimillion-dollar analysis kits in just a few weeks, sometimes in just one week.
Such analysis kits must be purchased over and over again.
In addition, various experimental reagents and consumables that are different for each experiment are entered.
The cost of the experiment grows out of control.
If so, would you dare to afford such expenses with the tuition for a year as a graduate student?
that’s impossible
Absolutely impossible.
This is because, in many cases, the graduate school registration fee, which is only around 10 million won, does not even cover the cost of reagents for a month per student.
As such, the current university is now in such a situation where everything is dominated by the logic of money.
“That’s right. Professor Lim! Are we saying we like it? It’s all for students! It’s all for college! But no way, would that friend make a fuss like that?”
“Professor, didn’t you see!! Haven’t you seen all the things that keep popping up on the Internet these days? Isn’t it said that the property is trillions of won? Because I really want to take care of it. At that time, the person calling me said that it was real, not Gura! really! Really.”
“under! I’m going to die. Really, why are you doing this this year? Did you already have ‘Ma’ on me? damn! I don’t know why this nonsensical human being is suddenly bothering me. Anyway Professor Lim! Let’s make our own preparations. You know that bastards with money usually pay a lot of money, right? I’m still in touch with the officials there, so if there’s any problem, I’ll call right away. And from the next planning meeting, let’s be a little more careful. You can’t help it. You have to turn it back to normal. know? What am I talking about?”
“yes. yes, but professor! Are you really going to be okay?”
“First of all, let’s see. And don’t worry about the person in charge, Manager Park. Because he is my junior.”
“Ah, that’s fine… Anyway, I really hope it goes well.”
“Okay, let’s stop. I decided to come as a company guest right now.”
“yes. professor. Then call again next time.”
Professor Lim Hak-jin hung up the phone, but his heart was still beating wildly.
In particular, after learning that Professor Choi Hyun-joon, who caused the problem that day, is a rich man worth trillions of won, even more school work these days is out of his hands.
In the end, Professor Lim Hak-jin went straight to the Internet portal site, saying that he did not know about the piled up research funds.
There, I immediately clicked on an article floating on the front page.
[Immediate response to K-Ilbo? The complaint against Professor Choi Hyun-joon seems to have been filed with the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office…]
uh? what article is this?
Professor Lim Hak-jin immediately read the article with some anticipation.
But soon, his expression hardened.
Contrary to such a primary title, most of the actual content of the article was an interview with Sohn Byeong-ho of [law firm Yulcheong], the legal representative of Professor Choi Hyun-joon.
In other words, they have already filed a complaint against the K-Ilbo, and they have already submitted investment information related to Professor Hyun-Jun Choi to the prosecution.
In other words, not even a single doubt.
Prof. Choi Hyun-joon’s investment details are very transparent.
Also, in the interview article, it was reported that a large defense team of 30 lawyers had been formed in connection with this accusation.
And Professor Lim Hak-jin, who read that far.
His hand holding the mouse was shaking.
30 lawyers alone?
Well, he is rich in trillions of won, but that would be a medicinal fruit.
However, while reading such an article, Professor Lim Hak-jin suddenly thumped! I even felt like I was falling off a cliff.
What’s more surprising is that he is a famous lawyer who is a former Supreme Court justice who has recently been highly respected by the public and is sure to enter the political world.
In other words, it also contained such news that lawyer Kim Chung-soo would join this group of lawyers.
In other words, it is a situation where such a strong will to eradicate all kinds of rumors, curse words, and fake articles related to Professor Hyun-Jun Choi is already erupting.

And on the other hand, at that time.
Hyun-joon arrives at the hospital where president Kim Byung-soo is hospitalized.
Even so, Hyun-joon seemed to be very busy, sitting in the back seat of the car and continuing to talk on the phone with someone. And because of that, Kim Pyeong-san, the team leader in the driver’s seat, had to wait for a while after parking.
“yes. thank you Mr. Lawyer. I suddenly contacted you through Attorney Son, and I am very grateful that you readily responded. And I’m really sorry I couldn’t tell you about me in advance.”
Then, a clear, clear voice was heard.
“Haha, no. Professor Choi. I certainly thought that he had a unique youth when I saw him at the time, but I was very surprised when I read those articles. Still, they say that they even donate a large amount to the NGOs I participate in. How dare I stay there? Of course I have to help. By the way, I have already spoken with Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki.”
“Oh, did you?”
At this time, it was an unexpected word, so Hyeon-joon subtly asked again.
It means that former Supreme Court Justice Kim Chung-soo had already spoken with Prosecutor Kim Joong-ki.
Come to think of it, it seems that the upper part of the legal profession is connected to each other.
“haha. Nothing was different. He said he had nothing to worry about Professor Choi. I heard that the prosecution had already received Professor Choi’s data and carefully reviewed it. As the incumbent prosecutor said, who would dare to fault more than that? I like to be sure. And if that’s certain, I welcome anyone with similar political views.”
As such, it was a very bright voice, so Hyun-joon felt relieved at the words of former Supreme Court Justice Kim Chung-soo.
On the other hand, Hyeon-joon had a strange idea.
A respected former Supreme Court Justice.
Isn’t he also revealing a little bit of his political side to himself?
It seemed that he thought that Hyun-jun could become a big supporter in the future, so he seemed to be asking something more straightforwardly.
However, Hyun-jun is not interested in the political part at all.
However, I will not miss the network necessary to get through the rough world.
“Lawyer! I am also willing to do anything that is helpful to Korea. Help me a lot! Lawyer!”
“Haha, thank you. Professor Choi. Well, when this job is over, I’ll probably have more requests for you.”
“Lawyer. Please tell me anything. If I can do anything, I will actively do it.”
“Ah, thank you so much just for your words.”
Then Hyun-joon hung up the phone.
On the other hand, he realized that his position had definitely changed.
Even former Supreme Court Justice Kim Chung-soo now has something to ask of himself.
In addition, currently, requests to contact me via KakaoTalk are pouring in.
Research directors of each pharmaceutical company, whom I got to know through academic conference activities. It seems that he became very interested in Hyeon-jun because of the skyrocketing stock price of Ilshin Pharmaceutical.
But right now I’m busy with other things, so I didn’t have time to worry about that.
Hyun-joon first turned off his smartphone screen and then came out of the car.
and after a while
In addition to Detective Goh Kyung-soo, who is standing in front of the elevator at the entrance of the ward, Hyun-joon also met Attorney Son Byeong-ho, who had been waiting for him beforehand.
