[258] Alliance Patho 3
“Where is the Sniper?”
“After the press conference, we moved to the hotel.”
“Keep an eye out so you don’t do anything stupid.”
“yes. I also have that friend’s phone. But inside the prosecution…?”
“I blocked everything. Everyone will pretend not to know.”
A blush appeared on Vice President Jang Do-hyung’s face. It seems that he was anxious because he did not know what kind of shape he would take if he moved from the top of the prosecution.
“What about the reporters?”
“I paid generously for drinks to the kids who dictated the article at the conference room.”
“Broadcasting news bureau executives will walk a tightrope. Please wait just one week. It will be over in a week, so be sure to warn that there is no turning back if you walk a tightrope.”
“yes. We meet one by one starting this evening. I will nail it down firmly.”
Vice President Jang Do-hyeong looked at me while speaking confidently. It means bullets.
“Security guards are waiting downstairs. Start moving together today. A van loaded with crates of apples will follow. Give 1 billion won to director-general level and 500 million won to lower executives. Don’t worry about it because it’s cleanly laundered money and just spend it sparingly.”
Jang Do-hyung’s mouth fell open.
“Chief Chief. Too many. It’s more than 10 years
worth of annual salary for them…”
“yes?”
“Vice-Chairman Dong-gi Vibrator will definitely turn around 100 million to refrain from reporting. Journalists have to choose between the two, but they don’t worry unless there is a 10-fold difference.”
“Ah yes.”
“And I’m going to give the media a flutter that I will push the advertisement volume quickly. But even the director-level is a salaryman. You should definitely care about the company making a lot of money, but considering the 1 billion that will come into your pocket, that company’s advertising volume will seem insignificant.”
“So, it’s so loud that you completely forget about the company situation. To the extent that I can’t even think of remorse.”
“Exactly. In fact, in my mind, even 10 billion is not enough. So, if you watch the trend of broadcasts or articles and a reporter comes out with a twist, don’t worry about money and sprinkle it on them too. Whether it’s 100 million won or 200 million won, you have to give them mouth wide open. Do you understand?”
In such an emergency situation, you should not follow market rates or customs when making money. I have to go crazy enough for the guy who gets paid to think I’m crazy.
If I give them in moderation, they think they’ll take care of my convenience and try to play on my head, but if I give them with their mouths wide open, they become docile like a docile sheep.
For the next week, all media outlets in Korea must write and broadcast articles as I command.
Even if I ask you to replace the article with song lyrics, you have to pay enough money to follow without words.
Maybe it is to change the Three Kingdoms to Chohanji.
It’s not a waste even if you throw all your money into it.

“Did you have a good fight? hahaha.”
“father. It’s not a fight between bullies taking over the business rights of a local nightclub. I’m sticking with the 1/3 of the Sunyang group. Are you laughing?”
“What is 1/3! half of the former Even if all financial affiliates are combined, it should not be more than 1/5.”
“I didn’t run to my father to check the sales.”
Is it because what you have grows and what you have has increased?
As the days go by, he is a father who is more relaxed and more distributive. They fight over affiliates, but they only look like spectators.
“I don’t have any stock in Sunyang, so what? I can’t get into the board of directors, and I can’t even hold shareholders’ meetings.”
“You can put your strength to the other side instead.”
“Which one?”
“Maybe we can have a media battle with my second eldest father.”
The father smiled and put on a puzzled expression.
“As you know, I don’t know if it’s the drama department or the entertainment department, but I have nothing to do with the news department. My breath doesn’t work that well.”
“I know. They have already put their hands on it.”
“already? Are you fast? Did you give me money?”
“yes. It’s jaw-dropping.”
Father’s expression brightened again.
“Since you gave me the money, I have to help at least not cost money to save face as a father. Hehe.”
“What else doesn’t cost money?”
“At the broadcasting station, both high and low people buy and play. His job is just a broadcasting station, but he wields power as if he were a government official. Well… If you’re a broadcaster, there are kids who are crazy about it, so that’s probably the case.”
“Are you saying that you are threatening me with this weakness?”
“What is the threat? I’m politely asking you not to sprinkle the chili powder because my son is struggling. Then they all understand.”
Dad smiled and winked.
“Then ask for something else.”
“What else?”
“Father, if you set your mind to it, you can make at least one sparkling star in a short period of time, right?”
“star? Could it be you?”
“Aren’t I already a star? Not me.”
“you? Pooh! well let’s say Who else besides you?”
“I’m still fine, but my second eldest father might turn the sword I put forward into pieces. It’s about preparing for that time. If it seems that the press operation will begin, please have the prosecutor appear on a talk show or something. And just pop it up.”
A father who has changed a lot, but one driving force is still there.
My father picked up the receiver right away.
“Now take the writers to my room… no, all of them.”
After a short phone call, my father spoke to me.
“When the person in charge comes, explain directly. Right now, it’s important to accurately convey your intentions, so direct is better than going through one leg.”
He said it was not a big deal about my current situation, but my father must have been very upset. It is said that it is necessary, so there is no such thing as lightning.
He did not tell the details of the inside story to the officials who flocked to him.
He only asked for a beautiful packaging for a prosecutor with a strong sense of justice. Rather than conforming to the organization, they asked me to create a prosecutor with conviction who continued to fight a lonely battle, pointing at the blade regardless of position, and I understood at once.
“The script will be ready by tomorrow. Please contact us in the morning as we have to go by special arrangement. That way, we can broadcast during the evening prime time.”
“Thank you.”
As the producers and writers withdrew, my father said as if passing by.
“Can I meet my brothers?”
“no. It’s of no use. Now, it is not a family affair where the appeal of bloodlines works.
The father did not seem to reproach himself for not being of much help to his son. Instead, he said something unexpected.
“Then I must be prepared for when you lose this fight.”
Is it the heart of a parent to think of the resting place of a broken child first?
“no way. Do you think I will lose? And even if we lose, we will look for opportunities to turn around again.”
“Don’t get me wrong. I mean to prepare for when the opportunity for a reversal comes. I have no intention of comforting my son who lost his first fight.”
It reminded me of my grandfather’s words that he was the son he looked forward to the most. Did grandfather discover this kind of look of father early?
“Have you prepared anything for your lovely son?”
“I always say hello to the VIP patients of Sunyang Medical Center. There are a lot of people who are quite useful.”
My father is very meticulous.

Vice President Vibrator continued to fiddle with his cell phone.
At this point, there should be a barrage of phone calls to ask or confirm his intention, but not a single one called.
Only occasional negative news is heard from secretarial staff running around busily outside.
“hey! what? Are the rumors true?”
It is obvious that someone will burst open the door without knocking and come in and scream.
“What rumors?”
“Labuan slush fund! Are you sure you took the money by faking the purchase of a ghost company?”
Looking at his younger brother who didn’t say anything with a frown on his face, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki clicked his tongue.
“If you eat it, you shouldn’t find out. What should we do when news like that comes out at this critical time!”
“Who said that I am the main character of the news?”
“Everyone except you! Everyone who walks in and out of this building is babbling. Only the number of people who were laid off during the IMF is over 1,000. But since we skipped 100 billion won a year, they say our eyes are looking at bugs instead of respect!”
“Let’s stop. If you dig up, there are many hyungs too. Just putting the foreign exchange gains from Soonyang Electronics’ exports into your pocket is tens of billions of won, right? Do you want that to be on the news?”
Jin Young-gi only sighed at the words of his nervous younger brother.
“Anyway, fix it quickly. Cover it when the name Sunyang hasn’t come out yet. At this time, what if a large-scale personnel appointment is made? The group atmosphere really sucks.”
“Stop nagging and step out, brother. If I go on like this, I will have no choice but to drop out at the board meeting next week.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Missing the board?”
“This is what Do-joon did. It’s a tactic to protect the financial group by holding on to my weaknesses.”
Jinyoung’s eyes widened.
“Do-joon? How is he?”
“It’s too long to explain. Anyway, he has secured evidence of my slush funds and even witnesses and is threatening me. Besides, I don’t know what he did, but the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General are lukewarm.” “They?”
“They asked for a little time to figure out the situation. Is it difficult right now to cover it quietly without internal opposition?”
“I can’t afford to worry about fucking stuff, so just leave it alone. I’ll let you know how to keep it quiet. What will you guys do?”
This time, the vibrator let out a long sigh.
“What if you had clear evidence and witnesses in your hands and sprinkled money on the press? Do-joon is not a normal person with no power and no strings attached. He’s someone who can mobilize connections here and there like us.”
At the sound of the vibrator crying, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki shook his head vigorously.
“You have money, lines, and power, too! do it yourself. I can’t see the board meeting being canceled next week.”
Jin Young-gi put a bluff and came out of his brother’s room as if he were running away. A strange smile appeared on his face.
“There is a powerful sword, right?”
Returning to his office, Jin Young-ki immediately called the chief of staff.
“Chief Baek, to my room. immediately.”
Jin Young-gi explained the work of Vibrator Vice-Chairman in detail to Chief Baek, who rushed over, and asked for his opinion.
“what do you think about it?”
“It looks like the board will fall apart. About 100 billion won in overseas accounts is not a big deal, but it is necessary that it is the time of the IMF. It’s obvious that he will be beaten by public opinion…”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki shook his hand and covered Chief Baek’s mouth.
“That’s not what I meant, but what if I took this opportunity to step back for a while. If he puts down his position as vice president for a while, who should take charge of the heavy industry division? There is no one but me.”
“ah……!”
Baek’s face turned a little red. This kind of idea should come from the bookmaker himself, because he is not ashamed of the position of chief secretary.
“That means that the vice-president has to take care of the evidence Jin Do-jun is holding. He’s the one who threatens my uncle so that he doesn’t lose his financial affiliate.”
“Has that guy also revealed his dark greed?”
“yes. I guessed something, but now it’s even explicit.”
“Then, if I satisfy that greed a little, won’t it move the way I want?” Baek Joon-hyeok’s ability to quickly read Jin Young-ki’s mind also played a part in making him rise to the position of chief secretary.
“I will meet you. Figuring out exactly what you’re holding and where you want it seems to come first.”
A satisfied smile spread across Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s face.
“Hurry.”
