Han Zong: Starting from the Undercover New World

The place where Lin Wei and Lu Xuanwu met was the Blue House.

This building that symbolizes power has always been an important symbol of South Korea, but only a handful of people can enter it.

After passing through the heavily guarded security, he wanted to reach Lu Xuanwu's office, but he still needed someone to guide him.

The person responsible for welcoming Lin Wei was an assistant named Wen, Wen Zaishi - a man with a background as a lawyer, a gentle face and an attitude similar to Lu Xuanwu's age.

"Forgot to congratulate Secretary Wen for becoming the chief secretary again."

What Lin Wei said only made the man with a gentle smile sigh.

"If the president wasn't facing impeachment, as you know, I wouldn't be here."

Wen Zaishi looked quite helpless when he spoke.

He was an important assistant and staff member during Lu Xuanwu's election, but he retired after Lu Xuanwu successfully ran for president.

It wasn't until Lu Xuanwu faced impeachment that he once again turned the tide and became the impeachment agent of Lu Xuanwu's side, running for him until he restored his seat as president.

Perhaps reciprocating the favor, or perhaps realizing that he could not afford to lose the assistance of such an outstanding talent, Lu Xuanwu appointed Wen Zaishi as the chief secretary, and he stayed at the Blue House.

"There are not many people like Secretary Wen who want to stay away from power." Lin Wei said.

However, Wen Zaishi just smiled and said: "If President Lin is given the choice of becoming a company chairman or a president, I'm afraid your choice will be the same as mine, right?"

Lin Wei smiled and joked: "It's hard to say. Who knows which job is easier? But I can indeed understand Secretary Wen's thoughts - becoming the president of South Korea is not an easy task."

Wen Zaishi nodded with deep understanding and said, "But fortunately, there are only a few years left. When President Lu's term ends, I'm afraid I will have to return to my profession as a lawyer."

Moon Jae-seok's career as a lawyer can be considered brilliant. He spent the first half of his life fighting for the interests of workers. He can be regarded as one of the few smart people in South Korea who has a conscience.

Of course, no one is perfect. Lin Wei's friendship with him is still shallow, and he dare not make hasty conclusions about him. Doesn't Lin Wei have no conscience? But when necessary, he can temporarily block his conscience before talking.

The two chatted casually along the way and exchanged contact information by the way - Lin Wei is now the president of a large group, and Wen Zaishi knows that Lin Wei has amazing energy in some places, so he is naturally willing to make friends with him .

When he arrived at Lu Xuanwu's office, he looked up and saw the two people chatting happily, and immediately laughed: "I didn't expect that you two can talk quite well."

The president's office is not very luxurious, but it is still antique and has a Chinese style.

"President Lin has some interesting ideas, unlike those of a person of his age." Wen Zaishi joked: "If he were a lawyer, I would definitely find a way to bring him to my office."

"Secretaries are over-reputed. Not everyone can be a lawyer. For a guy like me who gave up studying after graduating from high school, reading a book every day is the limit. I really have to recite legal clauses."

Lin Wei made a "please spare me" expression, which made the two of them laugh.

Lu Xuanwu stopped his official duties, invited Lin Wei to sit on the sofa, and picked up the teapot on the table: "When I was the same age as President Lin, I was probably still worried about what I would do if I failed to retake the exam again - can I do it in this To achieve what you have achieved at this age, you have already achieved a kind of miracle."

The better he got to know Lin Wei, the more surprised Lu Xuanwu was at his achievements.

At such a young age, it only took such a short time to achieve goals that many people would not be able to achieve in several lifetimes. His strength, luck and talent are indispensable.

It is precisely for this reason that Lu Xuanwu's attitude towards Lin Wei is so cordial. From the perspective of the president, his company's business and group industries are, to a certain extent, opening up new business fields for the South Korean Peninsula. He has Ability to compete overseas as a leader in emerging industries.

On the other hand, from a human perspective, he has achieved so much at such a young age, yet he is still neither arrogant nor discouraged and keeps moving forward step by step. Who knows where his final destination will be?

Considering what will happen next, Lu Xuanwu believes that if people in his faction want to regain the presidential throne in the future, including himself, they may not be able to do without Lin Wei's support.

Even as the president, he occasionally still relies on Lin Wei's public opinion work support. His Seoul Group has gathered the online media space of Lin Wei's NW company and has indeed become the largest comprehensive media platform on the Korean Peninsula.

The only shortcoming may be the television media, but Seoul Daily also owns considerable shares in the three major MCBs in Taichung. It can be said that, taken together, Lin Wei can indeed say that he is the first person in the media industry. .

"I heard that President Mou plans to formally give up his throne to you?"

Lu Xuanwu seemed to be chatting casually.

Lin Wei nodded and pretended to smile helplessly: "President Mou finally seized the opportunity to retire. It is true that I don't want to work another day - at the end of August, I will officially pass the vote and issue an announcement to take over the Seoul Group. President."

"Congratulations then."

After getting the exact news, Lu Xuanwu first congratulated a few times, then sat on the sofa, looked at Lin Wei with burning eyes, and finally told the reason for meeting today.

"Now, it's almost time to build momentum for the next presidential election. I see Zhang Bizhou and others among the conservatives."

Lin Wei listened carefully on the surface, but secretly complained in his heart.

In his view, Lu Xuanwu's strength has now been exhausted. The strength of the entire faction has reached its final peak after the impeachment. After that, his strength has only declined.

But Lu Xuanwu didn't think so - after the impeachment was over, he only felt that there were more just people in the world, and everyone had a balance in their hearts. What he did was still correct and just, and he should continue to be recognized by everyone. support.

Wen Zaishi did not leave, but sat on the sofa nearby and participated in the conversation. As Lu Xuanwu's most trusted confidant, Lu Xuanwu sometimes valued Wen Zaishi's opinions more than his own.

Meeting Lin Wei and gaining support was also one of Wen Zaishi's ideas.

But compared to Lu Xuanwu, Wen Zaishi was obviously calmer. His main purpose was to analyze Lin Wei and make judgments. When Lu Xuanwu was talking, he noticed that Lin Wei didn't seem to be optimistic about Lu Xuanwu's next appointment. The results of the election are consistent with Wen Zaishi's judgment.

"I will cooperate with President Lu as much as possible."

Lin Wei just said such polite words, but in the end, he had to face Lu Xuanwu's enthusiastic invitation and make a statement.

"But as the person in charge of the media, we cannot lose our neutral reporting stance and lose the quality that the media should have."

Once these words come out, there is nothing left to say.

Lu Xuanwu's visible passion faded, and he even glanced at Wen Zaishi subconsciously, but Wen Zaishi just drank tea and said nothing, and did not participate.

Until the conversation between the two is basically over.

"How does President Lin view the future situation?"

Wen Zaishi suddenly raised the question.

Lin Wei glanced at Wen Zaishi, then at Lu Xuanwu, and was silent for a moment, but in the end he did not choose to be careless.

He said in a deep voice: "I don't know what situation you want to ask about?"

"Of course I'm curious about what you want to say." Wen Zaishi asked with an unhurried smile.

Lin Wei pondered for a moment and said briefly: "As for the economy, as of now, our overall economic situation has not improved. Generally speaking, the increase in national income is basically due to inflation and changes in the US dollar. Increase, prices continue to rise, and house prices have hit new highs again and again.

As the times change, the competition faced by our large companies will only become more severe. The economic situation of the Korean Peninsula that relies too much on large group companies also destined that ordinary people will have fewer and fewer ways to advance.

President Lu is also facing growing doubts.

To be honest, according to the internal investigation of the newspaper, our experienced old editors have analyzed the surveys and polls. Today, President Lu’s polls have shown a clear downward trend, and I think this trend is bound to continue. It caused people to have low confidence in the new party."

Lin Wei was not careless at all. He told the truth about the current situation and his thoughts. Some words undoubtedly caused Lu Xuanwu to lose face, but he just listened patiently with a calm face. No words of rebuttal were said.

"If we discuss the situation after the end of President Roh's term"

Lin Wei sighed: "I don't think we can make breakthroughs or changes in many things."

Lu Xuanwu was speechless.

Wen Zaishi actually smiled because of Lin Wei's words. It was rare for him to feel a little more joyful, like seeing a hunter's heart. Lin Wei's words were basically similar to his analysis. It is not simple for someone at such an age to have such an insight. .

What he was even more happy about was Lin Wei's attitude - the fact that he could speak these words outspokenly showed that he was not that kind of pure businessman.

"So what changes do you think we should make?" This conversation almost turned into an internal meeting.

Lu Xuanwu looked at Lin Wei.

But Lin Wei just spread his hands helplessly: "I can't do anything - in fact, many of President Lu's ideas and I are quite consistent. What you want to achieve is also what I hope to happen, but this is the fact.

I see no hope either.

This may be why many people want you to become president. "

The conversation reached a deadlock, and Wen Zaishi generally understood Lin Wei's character and thoughts. He stopped pressing questions and asked Lin Wei if he had encountered any trouble recently.

Lin Wei did not hide anything and said directly: "The Kinmen Group recently planned to acquire the Zhao Group, but the Shunyang Group obstructed it and used a lot of off-market tricks, including trying to stigmatize the acquisition process through the media."

He was always saying bad things about Shunyang. Don't tell me, he really found a place to touch on something that Lu Xuanwu and Wen Zaishi both hated.

". He probably secretly found someone to fan the flames. He found the employees of Zhao Group, especially the front-line workers, and told them that we might have large-scale layoffs or salary cuts, and we might even default on project payments, so as to tempt them to work in our company. Start a sit-in downstairs."

Lu Xuanwu asked with a slightly serious expression: "Do you have any plans to fire employees?"

"Of course not!" Lin Wei sighed: "I really have no plans to fire anyone. The protection of workers' rights and interests is also an important mandatory requirement of our company.

Zhao Group's business is highly similar to and complementary to Kinmen's main business. We can complete the doubled expansion without making many changes, which is also an important resource complement for logistics and other industries."

After hearing his opinion and decision, Lu Xuanwu just nodded and stopped asking: "This is what should be done. No matter how big the business is, in the final analysis, it cannot do without the dedication of the workers at the bottom. What they want is also Not much, just basic necessities, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and food and clothing. You and I both come from a lower-class background, but don’t forget what we have experienced.”

"Never forgotten." Lin Wei nodded solemnly.

The conversation ended there.

Wen Zaishi personally sent Lin Wei away until he walked out of the Blue House and looked at the dark night. He sighed quietly and returned to the office, where he saw Lu Xuanwu sitting by the window smoking.

"Zai Shi, what do you think?"

"This son is by no means an idle person. Without his help, it will be difficult for the people below you to do their job after your term ends."

"I'm talking about Shunyang."

Lu Xuanwu smiled helplessly and turned to look at him: "You have already analyzed the events after the end of my term for me, what else can I say?

You find it difficult, and Lin Wei also finds it difficult, so it seems that it is really difficult. "

Wen Zaishi gently pushed up his glasses, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This may also be an opportunity - there are too many giant companies that support the South Korean Peninsula as the economic cornerstone. This is the root cause of South Korea's economic predicament."

"You want me to fight against the chaebol again?" Lu Xuanwu held his chin in distress.

"I'm just following the trend. I've also heard a little bit about Shunyang's President Chen Xingjun. It seems that Shunyang is indeed in decline. He dares to use such tricks and he can use them well."

Wen Zaishi said.

Lu Xuanwu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"Then let's give it a try. After all, isn't it that I, the president, am here to make changes?"

"You would be in danger."

".I'm already in danger."

Lu Xuanwu's expression was calm. He looked at Wen Zaishi for a long time and smiled at each other.

"Then help him. But we can't defeat Shunyang and another more terrifying Jinmen appears."

"clear."

Wen Zaishi smiled calmly: "I will start this matter and check it myself."

"I'm just waiting for your words." Lu Xuanwu laughed, stood up, and stretched his muscles: "It's time to have dinner."

".Now, it's time to order midnight snack."

"Why are you more annoying than my wife?"

After leaving the Blue House, Lin Wei sat in the car and turned to look back.

He looked at the holy land in the hearts of many people, where the throne of the South Korean Peninsula was located, but unexpectedly, he didn't feel much excitement in his heart.

Is the throne there really the place for a king?

Is the future of the South Korean Peninsula really determined by the people there?

Lin Wei withdrew his gaze.

No!

no.

From now on, he will dominate this.

Much better. Although the intermittent sleep makes me feel dizzy, the fever should be gone, and the sun should not be gone. It may be a cold due to the change of seasons. Please pay attention to the temperature difference. In the north, it was hot and cold in the past few days, or it was hot at noon and cold at night. , I was wearing big pants and a small tank top all day long and was too lazy to pay attention to it, so I fell into the trap easily.
