[097]Inescapable fate 1
“This partition is prefabricated. Let’s tear this open and quickly replace it with the one we brought.”
Oh Se-hyun has already prepared a new partition with a worker and stabbed the owner of the Japanese restaurant with an envelope of money.
“When you’re done with the ball, it’s returned to its original state. OK?”
Feeling the taste of the thick envelope, the president smiled brightly.
“Aigoo, boss. Of course, I have to accommodate you.”
“By the way, do you have a room reserved for 8:00 today? It must be No. 3 or No. 5.”
“uh? you’re right. Someone has a reservation for room 5. Room 5 is rather large.”
“okay.”
Five or six workers replaced the partitions in less than thirty minutes, and it was confirmed that even the sound of clinking glasses could be heard.
Oh Se-hyeon and reporters occupied room 4, and I took room 3 by myself and waited for them to come.
“Oh, Mr. I don’t know what’s going on… but don’t you feel sick when you eat this?”
The five reporters smiled and said, looking at the envelopes placed one by one in each seat.
“Reporter Park. Just leave it. pocket money is pocket money. Where is the guy who’s fighting with the pocket money given by the boss? Even the president throws his wallet sometimes. Why are you suddenly like this?”
When Oh Se-hyeon trembled, the reporters smiled, put the envelopes in, and sat down.
“Let me ask you for one thing. Let’s stop gossiping that the future of Daeah Construction is bleak and that everyone in charge is occupying one position. Please understand my position too. We need them to cut out the rot.”
“also. This is rat poison. Hehe.”
“And again! Please, this is all. Let’s have a drink.”
After a few rounds of soju, the reporters started talking. I was careful with my mouth and opened my ears wide to get at least some decent sauce.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the room next door became noisy.
“Come on, loosen your belt today and drink to your heart’s content. After the vote the day after tomorrow, our Candidate Gyeong-yeol Koh will become the mayor of Seoul. haha.”
All the reporters shut their mouths when they heard the name Go Gyeong-yeol from the next room.
Even though they are reporters from the Ministry of Economy, there is no way they don’t know that Ko Gyeong-yeol is the candidate for the number one approval rating.
“Who is it? Are you supporters?”
“Are you a campaign worker?”
“Shh. I’m familiar with that voice Be quiet.”
Fearing that they would overhear in the next room, the reporters began to whisper inaudibly.
“Ah, why are you like this? lose the taste Let’s stop worrying and drink”
“Quiet CEO. wait a minute. Let’s just check.”
Oh Se-hyun passed the glass to the reporters, but the reporters’ attention was already focused on the next room.
Oh Se-hyeon smiled softly and began watching these reporters in silence. The voices in the next room grew louder.
“We are having a dinner today to squeeze in the last strength of tomorrow with only one day left. After the election, I will never forget the cost of your hard work.”
“Are you sure the general manager is now the deputy mayor?”
Reporters took a deep breath at the word deputy mayor. Because he knew that the people in the next room were key figures in the campaign.
There was even a reporter who took out a small tape recorder.
“hey! What do these people see me as Kim Kwan-hyeok? Do you think I’m obsessed with that place?”
When they heard the name Kim Kwan-hyeok, the reporters looked at each other and winked. Maybe a scoop will come out.
“Oh no. You’re the general manager. You should take over the next mayor’s seat. haha.”
“what? take over?”
As soon as Kim Kwan-hyeok’s harsh voice came out, the room next door fell silent.
“I made our high school candidate mayor. What do you inherit? Candidate Koh is the person who must send me to Yeouido now. Did I get rid of all that smell?”
“Then are the allegations true?”
“What suspicion?”
“It’s military exemption.”
“Is this guy naive? Or are you stupid? Would a high-ranking government official like candidate Go Gyeong-yeol send a child to the army? The army is for commoners like us.”
In Oh Se-hyeon’s eyes, all the reporters were praying.
Candidate Gyeong-yeol Koh’s biggest weakness was his military exemption.
It’s to the point where everyone is praying earnestly for the naked contents to be heard from the next room.
“What did you do to not send your three children to the army? There are dozens of fake medical certificates that I made myself. But even that man is not very lucky. While working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all of them have children in Korea. If I had a baby while serving in the US, I would not have gone to the military as an American citizen.”
“No. If you were an American citizen, you would have had to enlist voluntarily when you were nominated for the mayor of Seoul?”
“I heard and saw it. Anyway, you’re a lucky man. haha.”
Reporters have already had their butts shaken.
This is a scoop among scoops. Of course, the decision of the desk remained.
When this fact is published in the newspaper, the owner of the mayor’s seat changes. Now, the mayor of Seoul can make decisions for the media. The media is not going to miss this great opportunity.
“Then why did the third son go to defense instead of exemption?”
“It’s because of my wife.”
“yes? Candidate Goh’s wife?”
“okay. I’m not a kid.”
This time, even Oh Se-hyeon opened his mouth. Doesn’t that mean being out of wedlock?
“It must have been when Candidate Goh was working alone in Japan. How many years can a man spend alone in a foreign country without a woman? I had an affair with a female foreign ministry employee.”
The reporters covered their mouths with their hands, fearing that they would hear even breathing.
“Candidate Goh couldn’t help it either. The fact that his wife put the child on the family register is enough to make sense. They just sent troops. I didn’t even use my hand to take it out as a defense. He just went on his way normally because his eyesight was really bad.”
Reporters couldn’t hide their excitement when they got the scoop. If anyone stood up, everyone would follow.
At this time, Oh Se-hyun opened her mouth as if embarrassed. I didn’t forget to lower my voice as if I was whispering,
afraid that I might overhear it in the next room. Reporter Choi Reporter Park. Calm down.”
“Why are you like that? Is this something to calm down now?”
Reporters also hushed up their voices.
“Let’s not explode this. If it blows up tomorrow, it’s certain that it will be overturned on the eve of the election.”
“of course. It touched both of the two things that are absolutely unacceptable in our country. The votes of the parents who sent the army of their children are all gone… If you are having an affair and having an out-of-wedlock, you should see that half of the female votes are turning their backs. The game is over.”
“So that’s what I’m saying. In terms of competence and ability, Candidate Go is much better than Candidate Choi, the son-in-law of a conglomerate. He’s a waste of time to fall for such a trivial personal matter. Let’s just bury it.”
“How can a reporter make fun of the fan base if that’s the case? If there is something to be informed, let it be known and let the voters make the choice.”
Oh Se-hyeon drank a glass of water and quenched his thirst to throw the last punch he had saved.
“what? Are you doing it because of the rice cake dumplings that will fall if Candidate Choi is elected instead of Candidate Ko after getting a scoop?”
“yes? What are you talking about?”
All the reporters frowned. Are you a rice cake?
“That’s right. If these lyrics go out, the first contributor to Choi’s election is obviously the media company that broke the scoop first, but can the Sunyang Group stand still? Aren’t you just going to push the ad just for sure? Maybe a year’s worth of ads in one shot? no?”
naive guys. Do you need an explanation to figure out how much this article is worth?
In other words, Oh Se-hyun gave the reason to persuade the desk.
One quick-witted reporter jumped to his feet with a backpack slung over his shoulder.
“Oh, Mr. I’ll treat you to a drink next time. I go first.”
Starting with this one, all the other reporters rushed out of the room.
Oh Se-hyeon, who was left alone, also robbed his seat and moved to the other side.
“Are all the reporters gone?”
“okay. As you said, I gave you an ad hint, and they ran like crazy.”
“Because there is no separate salesperson. Hehe.”
Oh Se-hyeon drank it at once when I poured the drink.
“Did you hear that too?”
“yes. He talks so loudly as if he wants everyone to hear it, but there’s no way he can’t hear it.”
“But… is it true?”
“Are you out of wedlock?”
Oh Se-hyun nodded.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. It’s important that if it blows up tomorrow, we won’t have time to fix it. After the election, we don’t even check whether it is true or not.”
“It’s so bad. I mean, he’s an aide.”
“For Caesar, the sword of Brutus must have been the most painful. Your aides are the ones you can most definitely snip at.”
I also drank a glass of wine to soothe my bitter heart.
“Now what about that friend?”
“Let’s watch. Whether it will be resurrected splendidly after being labeled a traitor, or will it disappear as it is. When they are resurrected, we just have to make sure they grow.”
The expensive sashimi did not melt in my mouth and kept getting stuck like a thorn in my throat.
It was not comfortable to watch even a betrayal that benefited me.
* * *
“Device… General Manager Kim? Where is Kim Gwan-hyeok?”
Candidate Gyeong-yeol Ko shouted in front of his aides and campaign staff who bowed their heads.
“The cell phone is off…”
“Is it true? Is this the sound that came out when I was drinking with you guys yesterday?”
“I’m not sure about that. The issue of military exemption did not stand out and went well. Well, that’s all we talked about…….”
One of the staff members who had been drinking together yesterday said it like an excuse, but I could tell from the expression of his lack of confidence. The story from the drinking party is the source of this article.
From the morning news to the morning newspaper, there are only articles about children exempt from military service and out-of-wedlock children. Since morality has suffered a great wound, it is a one-and-done fight.
They are already behind by more than 10% in an urgently run poll.
However, since the head of the headquarters in charge of the election did not appear, everyone was confused and no solution was found.
As the devastated Kyung-yeol Ko sat down on the chair, the door burst open and Kim Gwan-hyeok rushed in.
As soon as he entered the room, he slapped the face of the staff member who was bowing his head, kicked him in the shin, and yelled.
“What a bastard! Who spilled it! You bastards!”
All they could do was moan at the sudden thunderstorm.
“sorry. candidate. It’s all my responsibility. After a long time drinking, I said something I shouldn’t have said. Please kill me.”
Kim Gwan-hyeok knelt down on the office floor and began to sob.
he is not a traitor
It was just a slip of the tongue while drunk, and the traitor is among those standing with their heads down.
Looking at Kim Gwan-hyeok, who quickly sorted out the situation, Candidate Gyeong-yeol Go said with a moan.
“Is there still a chance? Do you have a way?”
“We will prepare an emergency press conference. And I will request a media correction report by the end of today.”
Go Gyeong-yeol buried himself in the chair even more and waved his hand.
“Everyone go out. If you have anything to fix, move quickly.”
Kim Gwan-hyeok shouted as soon as he left Candidate Ko’s room.
“who is this? Who spilled it?”
Everyone glanced at each other at Kim Kwan-hyuk’s sparkling eyes. Isn’t it a crazy and jumping situation?
All I did was go home drunk and fall asleep. When I woke up in the morning, this kind of lightning-like situation just happened.
“good. See you tomorrow after the election. Until today, it is considered that there are no traitors. don’t give up until the end Did you understand?”
“yes!”
The people dispersed and Kim Gwan-hyeok, who was left alone, let out a long sigh.
I was thinking all night long. I had no regrets, and I was worried about what to do.
If there had been one word, this would not have happened.
I’m not just one of the beggars.
Having said this, I wanted to see him burst into rage.
But isn’t the future bright yet? It was a burden to enter Yeouido with the stigma of being a traitor.
Kim Kwan-hyeok was determined to imitate loyalists until the end.
