Chapter 21

“I trust you, so feel free to choose. What to wear when you don’t care about money. What other kids wear.”

“Jong-hyuk, shouldn’t you tell him not to feel pressured at times like this?”

“Just kidding, Detective. Joke.”

‘It doesn’t seem to work.’ Mi-jin’s face hardened.

Confused with white, she bit her lips into Jong-hyuk’s eyes full of faith.

“That clothes, that clothes, that clothes. How many sizes do you have?”

“Oh, my. The student looks good in pretty clothes. They’re all new!”

Jong-hyuk translated by filtering out the words of the noisy merchant.

Victor was a little suspicious because he didn’t know much about clothes.

He was asked by Jong-hyuk to the merchant.

“How many packages of Japanese and Chinese have you taken away?”

The mouth of the merchant who was talking excitedly was shut.

“…was it you?”

“I’d like to take it off this side, too.”

“Is it Namdaemun?”

Jong-hyuk replaced his answer with a smile, and the merchant, who liked it at the thought of leaving behind, kicked his tongue. He looked young, but he was a prick.

But soon he approached Jong-hyuk with an insidious smile.

“If you’re going to do something about it, I’m going to another house.”

“…Hey, young boss, are you going to be like this between Koreans?”

“This is a $10 million edition. in the first round.”

Not only the merchants in front of him but also the merchants around him who had been paying attention to him because of Victor’s intentional voice was deliberately raised.

First round?

First round. He’s rich in Russia. He wants to work in this area.”

The merchant’s eyes changed suddenly. The same was true of other merchants.

She quickly picked out the best-selling items and spread them out next to Mi-jin’s chosen clothes.

“The best sellers in our store! These were last year!”

Left, right, right, click!

Jong-hyuk filmed it with a disposable camera.

“Mijin.”

“……Yes, yes!”


“Choose one.”

* * *

Dongdaemun, which has always tried to cut even 100 won more.

by the way

“Young boss! Eat this and take a good look! I’m having a hard time these days!”

I ask for a favor while holding the drink.

Jong-hyuk stuck out an envelope to Mi-jin who was enraptured.

“Now, this is the cost you helped me with today.

Mi-jin freaked out when she saw 10,000 won in a thick envelope in her hand.

Two clumps of money wrapped around a belt. It’s two million won.

“Oh, Mom, that’s too much!”

“Not a lot.”

“What?”

“It’s because you don’t know, people who make contact like this make a lot of money. Why? Because I know what I don’t know through you, and I make money.”

“I only picked out clothes! I’m young!”

You can’t make money if you’re young. There’s no place to write.

The newspaper delivery, milk delivery, and gas stations are for men.

Women should attach eyeballs to dolls or fold paper bags.

“Hey, I’m only 17 years old in that respect. Didn’t you hear that? This is $10 million, to put it simply. If the board is big, the crumbs are big, too. I take 3 percent, 300 million.”

It’s all a lie, but Mi-jin opened her mouth wide.



“How many hours have you been helping?”

“A few hours today is worth years to this man. You and I have eliminated the trial and error this person has been through for years. That is, I bought time with money. It’s a weird world, isn’t it?”

Nodding.

“So I’m a little disappointed. It would have been nice if we could keep going together.”

“Why, why?”

“You have a good sense.”

“……?!”

Jong-hyuk looked at Victor, and Victor raised his thumb.

Frankly, both Jong-hyuk and Victor were surprised. This is because all the clothes Mi-jin chose were well-selling lines.

I can’t believe I had this talent.’

Jong-hyuk says he doesn’t know how to look at clothes, but it’s not that he doesn’t have an eye for talent. So it was even more unfortunate.

“Whoa, if only I hadn’t been through this.”

“Good job today, call me when you get to the detention center. I’ll buy you a meal.”

Unfortunately, that’s it.

It’s up to Mi-jin to decide. If you force them to do it, they’ll only end up breaking down.

Bow.

Mi-jin bent down.

Not knowing what to say, Mi-jin turned around with the detective.

Jong-hyuk shouted against the back.

“Mijin! If you want to play like this, study a foreign language!”

Turning away, Mi-jin blinked her eyes.

“……play?”

“Then we’re playing. Isn’t that funny?”

Jong-hyuk smiled brightly with his arms wide open.

Dongdaemun seemed to be all held in its arms.

“…….”

“English will be the basics soon, so you’d better learn one more thing besides English. It’s a basic competition in this fun world.”

Looking blankly at Jong-hyuk, she turned away.

Boooow.

In the taxi that I caught soon.

Mi-jin smoothed the white envelope she had earned for the first time in her life.

He’s got a sense. He’s got a gift for me.

Words I didn’t hear from my parents, compliments.

When I thought of the eyes full of sincerity, my heart was pounding and my eyes were hot.

And

You looked so happy.’

Dongdaemun, where you have to walk around to buy a piece of clothing.

He hugged the big Dongdaemun in his arms as if it were narrow.

It looked too shiny.

Stop! Stop!

Tears flowed from Mi-jin’s eyes.

“Mi, Mi-jin?”

“Police, I don’t want to go to juvie. I don’t want to go!”

I don’t want to go to that scary place.

I want to live a wonderful life like Jong-hyuk today.

I want to speak Russian and Russian, and I want to swing merchants around.

Mi-jin shouted, “I want to live for the first time in my life.”

After a while, Jong-hyuk, who received a phone call from Kim Jong-doo, grinned.

“Yes, the world you know isn’t everything, Mi-jin.”

Jong-hyuk saw Victor.

“I’m afraid I can’t be with my younger colleagues anymore.”

“Oh, my. How did it happen?”

Viktor was genuinely disappointed.

A young girl with great eyes.

As I looked around, I didn’t think I had a deep relationship with Jong-hyuk, so I tried to contact him separately if the clothes I was going to buy this time went through in Russia.

It’s a cold world of business anyway. Head hunting is a given.

“He wants to study.”

“Oh…….”

After taking the GED, he wants to go to a foreign university.

On your own.

He borrowed Kim Jong-du’s mouth to say if he was shy, but he didn’t know how proud he was.

‘It’ll cost you a lot of course.…. Hmm, do you want me to be a long-legged man?’

Jong-hyuk chewed bulgogi, Korea’s representative food.

It was natural to want to do something for a good child.

* * *

From that day on, Jong-hyuk went to a company that sells hot-django, translated, collected quotes, and also investigated Korean cosmetics.

Russia, where Korean cosmetics were as popular as Korean clothing.

I gave him all the items I remembered.

Victor, who hugged a briefcase full of photos and all kinds of documents like a treasure, stood at the entrance of Gimpo Airport and felt sorry.

It was a two-month schedule, but it ended in only a month.

“That’s too bad.”

“But I’m sure we’ve got everything we can get out of Korea today.”

The most visible achievement would be the Paldo Lunch Box and Let’s B contract.

A time when funds dried up in the group.

Victor’s $10 million was nothing short of a persimmon.

3.5 million dollars each. Victor has already decided to deliver it to a company established in Russia.

There was a slight happening when a blue young man came out as an interpreter, but Jong-hyuk didn’t feel bad.

“And then the Russian market is taken away, and I’m stupid and I’m crying blood.”

I just feel stupid. So the unit price was also decorated as if Victor had investigated it.

Jong-hyuk, the head of the intelligent crime investigation unit.

There are quite a few scammers at these unit prices, so I knew exactly what percentage of the sales would be.

Jong-hyuk saw Victor.

“As a consultant, Viktor may find it difficult to get lunch boxes and canned coffee if he makes a big achievement.”

“I know.”

Products from their own businesses are sold more than expected abroad?

Companies will try to distribute themselves.

“Be as big as you can. In the years when Korea, which is about to collapse, will rise again, as much as possible.”

Victor was surprised.

I couldn’t believe a little boy was predicting that far.

No, come to think of it, it’s a surprise.

There are so many young geniuses in the world.

More than that…

“How many years do you mean?”

According to his understanding, the situation in Korea was serious. It was hard to believe that the situation would be resolved over the years.

“Maybe the world will be surprised.”

“There must be something I don’t know in Korea.” If it were someone else, I might have snorted.

But I couldn’t laugh because it was Jong-hyuk.

“And now the president is Yeltsin?”

“……the main culprit for tarnishing the glory of Russia. But why?”

“There’s probably quite a lot of trouble in his campaign by now. Try to be friends with him.”

Victor’s eyes shone.

At Yeltsin’s campaign?

“A powerful man never lets go of his power.”

Victor finally understood what Jong-hyuk wanted to say.

Surely there is no one in Yeltsin’s opposition.’

In other words, even if Yeltsin resigns, Yeltsin’s forces will remain in Russian politics.

The most difficult of them would be Yeltsin’s power, but someone who has a far away relationship with politics.

Then there was no pressure.

“Ha ha. Civil servants will get things done faster.”

Russia, where half a day is basic even if a simple document has to be removed.

It could also warn Korean companies, which will push their butt into foreign invasions, which he will wipe out.

Jong-hyuk smiled.

Yeah, that’s just how good the relationship is.’

“Is there anyone you’d like to recommend?”

“If we consult there, we’ll have to pay 10 percent of our profits…”….”

I only know Putin or Mesobedev, man,’ and I don’t know what they’re doing now. All that’s left is that Putin became Yeltsin’s successor.

I was interested in Russia to catch Russian smugglers, so I researched this and that, but I was not interested in anything more.

“Hahaha!”

Victor noticed Jong-hyuk’s mischief and laughed out loud.

Jong-hyuk burst out laughing at him.

Then, he hardened his face.

“Russia will soon face a harsh winter.”

Victor’s expression also hardened.

Why wouldn’t he know that as a Russian.

Inflation getting worse year by year. I came to Korea to spend the harsh winter warmly.

“Maybe the cheapest thing I’ve ever bought in this country is my relationship with you, Choi. It’s just the most valuable.”

“Oh, you sound as if you’re never going to see each other again.”

“No way!”

Jong-hyuk extended his hand with a smile as if it was a joke.

“I’ll also think deeply about my relationship with you. Next time we meet, I hope you succeed.”

“Let’s make it and see.”

“дииииии ” ” “””

“диииии ” ” (Goodbye).”

Watching the automatic door close, Jong-hyuk turned away.

His eyes were pretty cool.

“Is this how we made one line?”

There are so many American cases in Korea.

Unexpectedly, there are quite a few cases involving Russia.

Whether it’s a criminal or a witness or a Russian smuggling ring.

Since the country is so large, you can’t find it if you hide somewhere, and because the Russian police are so high-nosed, cooperation is not easy.

There is one incident that bothers Jong-hyuk.

“2007, the Vaikal Treasure Rescue Fraud.”

Total damage 37.2 billion won.

The incident that killed Jong-hyuk is suspected to have been committed by the child’s organization, who had a tattoo on his wrist and spilled the scent of wood.

At the time, I did, but when I thought about it after I returned, it smelled really bad.

It was a massive scam involving Russian officials, and all of the Korean crooks were beginners. Like the last case of the “fraud forgery of anonymous bonds” in which he died.

A beginner designs more than 30 billion copies?

It’s impossible—they weren’t all black sheep.



The more problematic are Russian officials. The son of a politician who is quite a big shot in Russia, which was supposed to be the Russian general.

He vanished completely after the incident was discovered.

We traced the trip to Vladivostok via St. Petersburg, where it disappeared.

And three years later, it reappeared, after Russia rejected India, a year in prison.

This is why I had a hunch. It is almost 100 per cent.

Victor is a line to head for the boy.

It just so happened that his father was in Yeltsin’s campaign, a politician with a constituency in the city of Victor. Even if Victor doesn’t make it big, it will be enough to connect.

To achieve this, he helped Victor.

It was nice to be able to find people who were involved in the Russian American incident as well as to be a constant source of water.

“If this is really connected to the organization, it’s been dark for a long time, not five or ten years before my death.”…that’s a scoundrel.”

It got darker in front of me.

After scratching his head, Jong-hyuk picked up his cell phone.

“Yes, Taegyu. It’s me. I’m going to hit the moratorium in Russia soon.”

Moratorium.

A situation in which the state or local government unilaterally delays payments on borrowed money.

What?!

“Maybe it’s this year or next year.”

As I was hanging out with Victor, I remembered quite a lot about Russia.

The moratorium is one of them.

-…….

“Taegyu?”

Hwa, are you sure? Well, really?

The moratorium is equivalent to state bankruptcy.

Even if the Red Empire Soviet Union was disbanded and its territory shrank, it was the former Soviet Union.

It was hard to believe that Russia was a moratorium.

“If you weren’t sure, would I have told you?”

– Huh.

Lament only leaked through the tight throat.

You said inflation was high, but eventually……. How did you know about this terrible thing?

You’re already preparing for the moratorium?

It means that Russia is making a big deal.

“Somehow, I ended up making Russian friends.”

In Korea? In Russia? Isn’t there an eye patch nearby? I’ll be wearing a black suit and dark sunglasses.

“Hahaha.”

Hong-hyuk, who doesn’t want to talk more, spoke out.

“Can you do it?”

Well, you won’t have much fun.

There is no money to subtract.

“I’ll send you another 0,000 today.”

Victor paid a separate consultation fee thanking him.

When did you make that money again?….

“Then, please.”

After hanging up, Jong-hyuk looked up at the sky.

It’s already October. The ginkgo leaves on the street are turning yellow and smell like shit.

“It’s almost National Sports Festival.”

The second half of the season, which will lead to the presidency at the National Sports Festival

“Let’s go, athletes’ village.”

Specifications for the future.

Jong-hyuk is moving again for the future.
