Chapter 528. Going to the training center (2)
“If it goes on like this, it will be disadvantageous. Many of my comrades have fallen for the taste of carrots offered by capitalists!”
Samryongcha Korea Federation of Trade Unions Pyeongtaek branch office.
Jeong Seong-dong, senior vice chairman of the Samryong Tea union, voiced anxiety.
Full or Jeong Seong-dong has been insecure these days.
Many of the union members who had been fighting hard against the capitalists turned back.
I saw with my own eyes that the company was going bankrupt and grasped the situation.
It is to wake up to the reality of jobs disappearing and wages decreasing.
He was weakened by the betrayal of his colleagues who turned their backs on the union.
Everything seemed to be a joke of the capitalists, not their own will.
Jeong Seong-dong has been especially dissatisfied with the world since childhood.
Luckily, I got into Samryongcha and the flower of my life bloomed.
It was only after participating in the union that I was treated as a human being.
Jeong Seong-dong, who had nothing, had nothing to fear from the world as he wore an armband.
Even the high-ranking executives from the prestigious university looked funny.
After a strike, various unexpected gifts poured in.
From then on, capitalists were seen as landlords who pour out money when beaten.
Even in a situation where the company continued to suffer losses, he trusted the government.
In particular, the unemployment rate prevented large-scale layoffs.
They seized the weak spot and continued to strike against the government and businesses to control the mood.
But the world has changed.
The pace of change was so fast that it was impossible to adapt.
In addition to that, the carrots offered by foreign capital that acquired Samryong Tea were extremely appetizing.
Whoever said no was stupid.
“…This is the play of the capitalists! Offer an apartment? If you settle down, you won’t be able to leave the chicken coop-like apartment until you die! Why do we, as workers, have to live only in apartments? You should be able to travel abroad with a fair price and live in a house with a yard! Doesn’t Vice Chairman Chung think so too? Are we pigs? Eat only the rice they give you!”
Hwang Ho-gyu, head of the Samryongcha branch of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions, gave an enthusiastic speech.
I knew better than anyone that this was a ridiculous proposal.
All the conditions presented by Samryongcha have never existed anywhere in the world.
“you’re right! We are not dogs and pigs to be disposed of at will! Why should those who sit and work leisurely in the office eat better and live better than those of us who are in charge of dangerous and hard labor? The value of labor must be the same! That is the real world of work!”
Jeong Seong-dong, who graduated from school without reading a book properly and came out into the world, did not know how ignorant his thoughts were.
I played really tight until I was in high school.
I almost lived in a PC room.
From adolescence, he hung out with his friends, smoked cigarettes and played billiards like adults.
At night, he hung out with friends who had part-time delivery jobs and passed the time by riding motorcycles.
It seemed that everything was going according to its own will.
Even the adults who happened to meet each other turned their heads the first time their eyes met.
There were many accidents that went unnoticed.
There was nothing scary about the world.
It was a world that I faced after passing time like that and barely holding a technical high school diploma.
Jeong Seong-dong felt intimidated by the harshness of society he encountered for the first time.
No one called him anywhere that was useful.
It was all about one certificate that was given to me for free when I graduated.
Like other classmates, I couldn’t get a decent job.
However, rather than reflecting on his complacent past, he resented the world and blamed the environment.
Soon, a warrant came out, and he enlisted in the army as if he were being chased like a social misfit.
Even there, the character did not change.
During my class life, I especially clamored for successors with good educational backgrounds.
A few days before being discharged, I asked my superiors to finish my military life in the administrative unit.
Knowing that his successors were targeting him, he avoided it.
It was Jeong Seong-dong who reigned as king throughout his days as a sergeant through violence and threats.
Even during Jung Sung-dong’s military days, violence in the military still remained.
And Jeong Seong-dong returned to society.
With the connections of his uncle, who was a member of the Samryong union, and 20 million won in cash provided by his parents, he became a full-time employee of Samryong Tea.
It was a time when the Samryong Group was expanding the market price to grow automobiles as the group’s representative company.
I was lucky.
Jeong Seong-dong, who has a quick-tempered, short-thinking and simple mind, was hired by the Federation of Korean Trade Unions.
His head was dumb, but he was passionate enough about union work to cover it.
That’s how Jeong Seong-dong came to this day.
‘Don’t take it away! I am not a capitalist’s dog!’
He also attributed his distorted personality to the capitalists.
Every day, he spent his days intoxicated by talking about politics with union members.
When he accidentally entered the house, his suppressed anger exploded and he became a tyrant and committed domestic violence.
He reproduced the home environment of his childhood that he wanted to escape so much.
Jeong Seong-dong’s wife, who had seen the good and even married him, could not bear him for several years and divorced him with a child.
At the same time, Jeong Seong-dong resented the world even more.
It was all attributed to the capitalists and society that the life of an unfair asset was not solved like this.
For Jeong Seong-dong, union activities were like the last remaining pride and outlet for desire.
“Chairman Chung. Gather your comrades You can’t be dragged along like this.”
“Then how…”
“We have to overturn it! I can’t get out of my feet because the money is invested anyway. At times like this, we have to fight for our rights.”
“All right! There are many comrades who remain passionate!”
“okay. Let’s try it! Pyeongtaek is the home of our blood and sweat! Must buy! certainly!”
While talking to Jeong Seong-dong, Hwang Ho-gyu also made up his mind and made a promise.
Hwang Ho-kyu, the head of the Korea Metal Workers’ Union, was more desperate than anyone else.
A huge privilege given to the branch manager that others do not know about.
With the back money and stocks received from the company, the family rose to prosper.
The moment he was deprived of the position of branch manager flowing with milk and honey, he had to go back to his hungry days.
It was no exaggeration to say that the only things he knew how to do were demos and ripping off companies.
“I will only trust the branch manager!”
“We will go together until the end!”
The two people who were right in the middle of the day shook hands hotly.
Holding hands, they each tapped their desire calculators to calculate their profits.
Later, when the work was completed, I made up my mind to receive it several times over from the company.
The taste of a corrupted bribe acquired by selling one’s conscience once tasted.
It was like a high-quality opium that was so sweet that I couldn’t quit even in death.
***
“The Ministry of Justice withdraw the unfair selection of prosecutors! Withdraw!”
“Withdraw! Withdraw!”
Thanks to senior Kang A-rin, the training center entrance ceremony ended quickly.
The feast cooled down.
When the students and their parents came out, hundreds of students shouted in unison as if they had waited.
“Ummm…..”
“What are you doing…”
The people around me who came out of the auditorium all showed surprised eyes.
Everyone hanged themselves on the one connection that could become the upper class like that.
The prosecutor’s office was a business card that was easier to reuse after retirement than a judge.
When they were in college, people who would not have thought deeply about social issues acted like professional protesters.
Even if you don’t teach me, everyone has become a strong union in front of their rice bowl.
Their parents were no different.
Standing next to his son and daughter, he silently expressed his sympathy.
“Everyone calm down. This won’t solve it! Regarding this issue, the head of the training center and the government decided to have a separate conversation. We ask for your cooperation so that the entrance ceremony can be completed smoothly.”
The court staff working at the training center stopped it as if it was embarrassing.
“Withdraw! Withdraw!!!”
The 42nd class inmates of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, who created a reckless protest scene, did not listen.
He clenched his fists and waved his hands to the beat.
It reminded me of a sociologist who said that when people get together, they become a group, and groups inevitably lead to selfishness.
My gaze was cold.
An agreement has already been reached with the superiors.
The stage to be resolved with such protests has passed.
The deals and agreements of the vested interests in society were in the final stage.
It was clear that the appointment of a career judge would be a problem.
The revival of the modern version of the Yin-seo system.
The power of vested interests was too strong to stop the flow with the power of protesters.
The eyes of the high-ranking officials who had been sitting on the podium a while ago were staring at them in awe.
That was the difference between their strengths.
No matter how much capital there is, one individual or a group of individuals cannot do anything without power. Social power.
Again, we had to wait for public opinion to gather.
Politics was a living organism that was fed by public attention.
“Even law school students have to make a living. Kids have no conscience. Tsk tsk.”
Arin sunbaenim clicked his tongue.
“Senior, aren’t you interested in being tested?”
“I never test. If you go there, a beautiful female prosecutor like me becomes a target. Doesn’t everyone know that the old prosecutors at the top are ignorant? Listening to the senior female prosecutors I know….. It’s no joke. I forcibly fed him bombshell liquor at a dinner party… Ugh, just thinking about it makes me vomit.”
Senior Kang A-rin shuddered as if he was not joking.
The senpai was already well aware of the uproarious incidents in the future.
It is still shish, but it may be that everyone knows.
“Should everyone have a party? My seniors said that I only had time today. From tomorrow, the entrance exam hell will unfold for two years.”
Senior Yerin took the action of breaking her wrist holding a drinking glass.
The Judicial Research and Training Institute is tougher than graduate school.
There were no days off except for public holidays for two years until the training was completed.
In addition, to become a judge or prosecutor, you had to have excellent grades.
Rumors circulated that there were a large number of people who were locked up in the library and never appeared in the world.
Senior Yerin, who had the highest passing score, also showed nervousness.
“There are many good bars in the Western Dome across the street.”
Kang Hyeon-soo got the information.
“From broad daylight?”
I was dumbfounded and asked.
In fact, there were no lectures on the first day of entering the training center.
Hyunsoo Kang and senior Yerin were scheduled to enter the dormitory.
The two of them suggested that we go out for a drink.
Looking at his bright eyes, it didn’t seem like a joke.
“okay! Daytime drinking is the best! Now we have to go back to the days of Goppiri….. Let’s run today! Senior Arin is good too, right?”
“Hehe. It’s me, of course, call!”
Arin sunbaenim also burned his will to fight at the thought of a drinking party.
only we gathered
I barely stopped my parents from coming to the entrance ceremony.
Of course, he refused to accompany the twins and female employees.
A bustling neighborhood party was enough.
It was not like other trainees risking their lives to be appointed judges or prosecutors.
The parents of the trainees who accompanied them took pictures with excited faces and congratulated their sons and daughters for their success.
Two years from now, another type of winner and loser will be decided here as well.
Brilliant talents who fly and run in Korea will gather and play a real sword game once again.
That’s not the end.
Even if you get what you want in this, another difficulty awaits you after you are appointed as a judge or prosecutor.
Competition will continue to ignite among the selected talented people, and with that, they seize the opportunity for promotion.
Those who are quick-witted become political judges or prosecutors and walk the path of victory.
On the other hand, the moment you can’t get what you want, you are pushed back and taste the horror.
Most people have no choice but to know the saying that if you give up your desire, all you sit on is the other side.
Those who have already competed and won victories since they were born.
He quietly wished them good luck in the future.
“what? Taesan Jang. You look at your motives with the same eyes as my dad. To the youngest subject.”
“Senior Kang. I’m a few months younger than Taesan. Hahaha.”
Hyeon-soo took the youngest title this time.
It became so popular that it was interviewed in the newspaper.
Placards were hung not only in Jangju High School, but also in the proud Gyeongsang University.
Hyeonsu looks nice(?).
It was enough with the face madam.
As the son of a believer, he was an ideal figure that people in that field would like.
Hyeonsu said.
It is said that there was contact from the side of Supreme Court Justice Oh Seung-taek.
agreed to join.
There was no reason to stop him from raising him.
Planting my people in the heart of the enemy was more important than anything else.
Hyeon-soo bet his life on me.
He promised to take responsibility if anything happened.
Knowing my abilities since high school, Hyeonsu did not hesitate to sign a contract with me.
The top 10 in the bar exam was all thanks to me.
Arin and Yerin, and the Sillim-dong study team all settled within the top 20.
Among them, senior Yerin and Hyeonsu were called to Seungtaek Oh’s line.
It means things are going according to plan.
Oh Seung-taek, who will soon be inaugurated as Chief Justice, will greatly increase in size.
For those who needed talented people, senior Yerin and Hyeonsu were the best candidates.
All that was left was time.
2 years to go by.
In the meantime, quietly here at the Judicial Research and Training Institute…
“Can I join them?”
A middle-aged man’s voice suddenly came out.
Everyone’s eyes turned to one side.
A middle-aged man dressed in a navy blue suit.
It was a face I had seen many times.
Then someone next to me shouted.
“dad!”
