#156. Up, up. 9
At that time, Prosecutor Kim Cheol-woong laughed heartily.
“This… … I feel like I’m in the eye of the storm.”
I felt like I was in a family feud within the owner's family.
How many people from the political and prosecutorial circles are entangled with Shinwha Group?
If you touch the mythical story, you can't even dream of promotion.
When Lee Yo-hwan was arrested, he knew better than anyone how intense the pressure from above was.
but.
“If a man pulls out a knife, he should try to cut something.”
Woojin nodded.
“I think Prosecutor Kim Cheol-woong will write well.”
High risk, high return, Prosecutor Kim Chul-woong took the risk and made this bet for his greed.
If there is a possibility, he is the kind of person who will rush in without looking back.
Even if things don't work out well, action alone is enough.
“I will try my best to help you too.”
Kim Cheol-woong smiled and spoke in a playful voice.
“Oh my~ You’re strong.”
Although he said it as a joke, Kim Cheol-woong thought Woo-jin was a possibility.
The miraculous abilities that Woojin had been showing all this time were touching his thoughts.
“But where did this information come from?”
“GAP and inventory valuation loss were a little strange.
“The increase and decrease in the inventory assets for which processing costs are allocated were also strange. There is also an inflated appearance.”
So I asked the SH Strategy representative to take a closer look at the documents.
“I just looked at it and it smelled so I looked into it further and it was like this?”
“Similar. Sir, I will go then. Goodbye.”
“Already? Should I have a cup of coffee before I go?”
“I have an appointment.”
Kim Cheol-woong asked as if he had guessed.
“Going out to eat?”
“No. I’m afraid of playing baduk.”
“Baduk? I like baduk. Let’s play sometime.”
“Just playing baduk is not fun, so let’s play baduk as a bet.”
For a moment, Woojin's calm eyes seemed to sparkle.
“Yes. Please keep it.”
“Yeah. But do you go to a place like Origin?”
He was truly an odd fellow.
But the words that immediately came out of Woojin’s mouth embarrassed Kim Cheol-woong.
“I’m going to meet Chairman Lee of Shinwha Group.”
“… … ”
Kim Cheol-woong scratched his cheek and asked back.
“Chairman Lee of Shinwha Group? Mr. Woojin?”
"yes."
“Why is that gentleman playing baduk with Woojin?”
“He said he wanted to leave it with me.”
That great gentleman is showing interest in Woojin?
There seemed to be no connection.
That doesn't mean Woojin was the type of guy who would lie.
I don't know how Woojin came to meet Chairman Lee face to face, but it was clear that the possibility had increased.
There is also a possibility that Woojin created that kind of place on purpose…
Suddenly, Kim Cheol-woong remembered the first time he saw Woo-jin.
That was when he showed off his amazing profiling with his fluffy appearance.
Isn't it because you approached it with that kind of profiling skill?
“Okay, I’ll go. See you next time.”
“Uh… … Okay. I eat and go.”
As Woojin left, the investigator received a call.
– Our inspector, you're in 9th place on the real-time search rankings again.
Kim Cheol-woong immediately opened the Internet and checked the real-time search terms.
The credit for catching the culprit who committed three serial murders was once again being given to him.
Of course, it was the culprit that Woojin caught.
In this way, Kim Cheol-woong was continuously exposed to the media.
He is solidifying his position among the public and laying a solid foundation for entering politics.
“Detective.”
– Sir, your voice sounds strange. Can you just not say anything?
“We have obtained information on the Shinwha Chronicles’ fraudulent accounting and fictitious account.”
– Oh my. You have something good. Hurry up and grind it or burn it.
You know very well that that's an obstacle to your promotion, inspector. You should get promoted this time, right?
“I don’t plan on getting promoted… I don’t plan on getting promoted. If being a lawyer or anything doesn’t work out, I can open the meat restaurant I mentioned earlier.”
– Sigh… …
“Our detective, don’t worry about anything.
“If I open a meat restaurant, won’t all the guys who beat me up come looking for me?”
– Business will be good.
——————————————–
Lee Hye-rim's aunt, Lee Jeong-mi, was driving around the site where construction was in full swing.
Lee Jeong-mi frowned slightly and closed the car window as the smell of dust from the construction site seemed to linger even from afar.
“Let’s go.”
As the car started again, Lee Jeong-mi looked at the construction site again.
All apartments built on this large site will bear the name of SH Construction.
It meant that a mega town would be built exclusively by SH Construction.
'I wanted to help my aunt.'
Lee Hye-rim grew up observing her family's every move.
He must have known better than anyone that he had no position.
But he might have had wild thoughts.
So, just for show, I took her side when her brothers and nephews cursed at Lee Hye-rim.
It was just for show.
Of course, that wasn't all, it also meant that I was on my father's side and respecting his thoughts.
This was not only to make her father see himself in a positive light, but also to put Hye-rim Lee at ease if she had any impure thoughts.
All of these actions were not for Lee Hye-rim, but for her precious son, Lee Jeong-hoon.
In this way, the car driven by Lee Jeong-mi was able to arrive at Shinwha Jeonki.
Shinwha Electric, which holds a little over 18% of SH Construction's shares, was structured so that the Shinwha Group's holding company controlled a high percentage of Shinwha Electric's shares.
CEO Kim Dae-han welcomed Lee Jeong-mi.
He looked to be in his early 60s, had a slightly balding head and thick eyebrows.
“I stopped by on my way.”
“Welcome. Please have a seat.”
As Lee Jeong-mi sat down on the sofa, Kim Dae-han smiled brightly.
“I received the precious ginseng you sent me last time. My wife, Baekdo, loved it so much.
“I always get this way… … ”
“I’m glad you like it. By the way, did you know that our niece Hye-rim became the major shareholder through a paid-in capital increase? 14%.”
“I know.”
“Then you know why I came here, right?”
“Hahaha! Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to tell you. The friendly shares won’t go to Lee Hye-rim anymore.
“Don’t worry.”
Lee Jeong-mi nodded as if she liked it.
It wasn't for nothing that I had been putting in so much effort into Kim Dae-han, whose forehead was shiny with oil.
Later, the friendly shares that the son had would stand on the son's side.
“If someone from Hye-rim comes to visit…”
Kim Dae-han smiled as if to tell her not to worry.
“It’s no use coming, but I’ll contact you right away.”
Lee Jeong-mi stood up from her seat with a satisfied smile on her face.
“The golf course has been renovated. Come visit us sometime.
“Work is good, but now you have to think about your health too, right?”
“I already decided to go with Representative Shim. From now on, I’m only going to exercise and do business there. Hahaha!”
“If there is even the slightest problem with the new city development project, please put some pressure on it. It would be good to create an opportunity like that.”
Kim Dae-han smiled silently.
“Then, take care. Don’t come out.”

The chairman was looking at the Go board, stroking his chin.
I was having a hard time dealing with how exquisite Woojin's moves were.
It was only natural that he was having a hard time, as he had won two straight games against 9-dan Choi Seon-gyeong.
The chairman was aware of this and was playing baduk.
This chairman was someone who hated to lose in anything, but if he did lose, he knew how to endure and work hard like a man sleeping on firewood and tasting gall to earn an opportunity.
But on this board, that was of no use.
Woojin started by laying out four points, but there was no way or answer in sight.
When I asked him why he made those moves after losing two games, he answered, but when I started playing again, he made another irregular move.
The questions I ask in order to gain enlightenment feel like they just disappear into thin air, like throwing a stone into a deep lake.
This third edition is the same.
While the chairman was quietly thinking like that, someone came into the living room.
It was Lee Jeong-mi.
“Dad, I’m here. Were you playing baduk?”
At her words, the chairman raised his hand as if to tell her to be quiet.
She sat across from Woojin with a smile.
"hello."
As Woojin got up from his seat and bowed his head, Lee Jeongmi began to speak while looking at Woojin’s face.
“Are you the new baduk teacher?”
“No. I’m a person who came to play a bet on Go.”
"bet?"
Lee Jeong-mi looked back and forth between Woo-jin and Chairman Lee.
The chairman just stared at the board and fiddled with the stones, regardless of what she said or did.
widely.
Soon, as soon as Chairman Lee made a move, Woojin immediately put down his stone.
It was a hesitation that lasted less than a second.
“Heh heh heh!”
With that move, the game ended with Woojin's victory.
“What about Choi Seon-gyeong, 9th Dan?”
In response to Lee Jeong-mi's question, Chairman Lee answered by retrieving the Go stones.
“I lost to this guy.”
"yes?"
Lee Jeong-mi blinked and looked at Woo-jin.
I don't know much about how to play baduk, but I knew that the title of world number one, Choi Seon-gyeong 9-dan, was not the name of a neighborhood dog.
He must be in his mid-20s at most? And he's very handsome.
Then the chairman spoke.
“I heard the story. Hye-rim said something to the jealous guys, right?
“Good job. If you do well, you should be praised.”
Lee Jeong-mi quickly turned her attention to Woo-jin as if nothing had happened and smiled brightly as she looked at Chairman Lee.
“When I think about it, I feel so bad for the kid. How much time must he have spent worrying about his brothers’ feelings?
“I feel sorry that I, your aunt, have been making excuses about being busy and not being able to take care of you.”
The chairman nodded slowly and sat back deeply into the sofa.
“Sometimes you have to be perceptive.
This father also started out as a peddler, living off of rice cakes.
But Jeongmi, don't live like that. Just live happily.
“I’ll take care of you appropriately so that you can live without worrying about what others think. Don’t be greedy.”
Lee Jeong-mi flinched at Chairman Lee's last words, which were to not be greedy.
It was because he felt as if his father was seeing right through him.
At that time, Woojin spoke.
“Mr. Chairman, you lost the bet.”
The chairman burst into laughter.
“He’s a quick-witted friend. Hahaha!”
“Yes, that would help increase business profits. Shall we get up then?”
"yes."
The chairman also spoke to his daughter.
“You too, go eat the meat that this father grilled for you after a long time. The meat was really good.”
Woojin put meat up for a bet on a game of baduk.
1++ Number Nine, grilled in a large yard.
This meat is also grilled by the chairman himself.
Woojin didn't go to such lengths, but this was something that Chairman Lee took upon himself.
Meat grilled by someone else in a large yard.
It couldn't possibly be tasteless.
Woojin stood up from his seat and looked at Lee Jeongmi's back.
And I asked myself.
“Who do you think will move faster, you or Lee Hye-rim?”
