Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 401 Sincerity
Shun Yang Securities Building.

Li You does not work here. Chen Yajun, who was in close contact with Li You, smiled slightly and gained Li You's trust.

While Chen Dongji was in a state of disgrace, Chen Yajun had already taken over most of the rights of Shunyang Securities, and of course she was also responsible for the daily management of Shunyang Securities.

However, not long after he started work that day, Chen Dongji went straight into the building and wanted to go upstairs to find Chen Yajun without stopping.

This was the first time he came to Shunyang Securities soberly in these days.

Chen Dongji frowned in front of the elevator. The front desk staff didn't dare to stop him, but they still hurriedly called Chen Yajun's office to prevent Chen Dongji from barging in unexpectedly.

When Chen Yijun received the call, he was calm and said, "No need to stop him, just let him come up."

His presence was not required for removing Chen Dongji from his position as executive officer. This was the first time Chen Dongji showed up after the board of directors voted to replace Chen Yajun as executive officer. Perhaps he had made some emotional preparations.

The receptionist on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Dongji strode into Chen Yijun's office, which was actually his former office.

Chen Yajun waved his hand, signaling his subordinate who was reporting on work to leave temporarily.

Chen Dongji stood upright in the middle of the office, silently looking at Chen Yajun who was calm in front of him.

After a long while, Chen Dongji walked to the sofa and sat down.

He waved his hand, wanting to chat with Chen Yajun.

After all, he didn't come here to accuse anyone today. He just wanted to talk to his daughter and find out some things.

"Yejun."

Chen Dongji watched Chen Yijun slowly come over and sit down, "How did you convince Chairman Li?"

Chen Yijun glanced at Chen Dongji and said calmly, "I paid what I should pay."

Chen Dongji opened his mouth and said, "."

"You and mom have mentioned this before," Chen Yijun said casually, "That's what I did."

"I understand," Chen Dongji sighed, his guess coming true, "I'm sorry, Yijun."

"It doesn't matter whether I feel wronged or not. Anyway, there is no better candidate than him."

Chen Yijun was very calm. "If we can keep the child, we don't need to fight for too many things. As long as we can get Shunyang Securities, it will be fine."

As night fell, martial law was put on the Kinmen Club in Seoul. After all, Li You was going to meet Zhu Mengyong here today.

At first, Zhu Mengyong didn't want to meet here, but Li You just said one sentence.

Forget it.

Zhu Mengyong thought about it again and again and finally agreed, thinking that no one would attack him in Li You's territory.

The Kinmen Club has always been a place where people from the Kinmen Group meet other people of status, and it still stands in a corner of the Jiangnan District.

This place has recently been renovated. On the black marble steps in front of the door, two beams of light are cast down from the spotlights above, replacing the previous garish neon lights.

Inside the door, the decoration is still the same as before, with a classic and luxurious feel.

As the night deepened and the lights came on, four large sedans with their headlights on passed silently through the block.

This meeting was considered a secret meeting between the two, and only very few people knew about it.

The wheels rolled across the street, the engine making a low, rhythmic sound, and finally stopped in front of the Golden Gate Club.

The parking lot of the Kinmen Club is now shrouded in dim lights.

After Zhu Mengyong got out of the car, he moved quickly towards the door surrounded by bodyguards.

The accompanying team of bodyguards follows closely behind them, and every move they make reveals their professionalism.

He had a blank expression on his face, but he did have the aura of a leader.

At the entrance of the Golden Gate Club, the magnificent door was closed tightly, and the bronze door knocker was flashing a cold light under the light of the door lamp.

Faced with the closure of the Kinmen Club, they could only stop and could not go any further.

The Kinmen security guards at the entrance of the club were wearing uniform black suits with the Kinmen badge on their chests.

With batons and walkie-talkies in their hands, they formed an insurmountable line of defense in front of the gate.

Zhu Mengyong's footsteps paused when he was intercepted by security. Zhu Mengyong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to calm.

After they were stopped by the Kinmen security here, the security guards didn't react much when they saw them. They stood there motionless like sculptures, but their eyes were full of vigilance.

The figures of this group of people looked particularly abrupt under the lights in front of the club.

"We are here to meet with Chairman Li as agreed," the secretary walked forward with a smile and spoke to the security guard at the door.

The security guard nodded, turned his head to look at the bodyguards around Zhu Mengyong, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The minister has instructed us," he gestured with his hand, "not to allow armed personnel to enter."

"Armed personnel." The secretary looked back at the bodyguards beside Zhu Mengyong and pursed her lips.

Not long after Zhu Rongyi died, Daying Manor was blown up to the sky. Now in Daying Group, Zhu Rongyi’s relatives were of course also afraid.

They hired a lot of bodyguards and brought them with them whenever they went out, some of whom were even specially hired from abroad.

The security personnel communicated in low voices, with precise and quick gestures. They even wanted to step forward to negotiate with Kinmen security, but were stopped by the secretary.

Zhu Mengyong stood in front of the door without saying a word, knowing that this might be a show of force from Li You.

His secretary tried hard to convince Kinmen Security, but in the end all he got was one sentence.

"Only President Zhu and his accompanying secretary can enter," the security captain at the door said stiffly, "This is an order from our superiors, please don't embarrass us."

Seeing that the secretary was unable to convince them, Zhu Mengyong took the initiative to ask to enter as requested.

We have come to this point. Since there are difficulties, it means that peace talks between the two sides are possible.

Zhu Mengyong waved his hand and asked the bodyguards around him to wait for him outside.

He walked forward with his secretary, and the door of the Golden Gate Club slowly opened for him. Of course, the rest of the people had to stay outside.

Zhu Mengyong didn't say anything more, but just followed the waiter waiting at the door and walked forward.

He walked into the club, with his secretary following closely beside him with nervous steps.

At this time, Zhu Mengyong felt that asking President Jin Minzhong for help would indeed be useful. Jin Minzhong would not allow Daying to be completely swallowed up by the world.

At this time, he had a smile on his face and felt a little confident about the upcoming peace talks. He even took the time to observe the interior decoration after entering.

The interior decoration of the club is luxurious and not low-key at all. Every detail reveals the care that went into the decoration.

Zhu Mengyong's eyes swept lightly across the room as he followed the waiter into the elevator and took it to the third floor.

Outside the window of the corridor, you can see the Han River Bridge, with its busy traffic and bright lights.

Zhu Mengyong felt a little regretful. If Li You had been able to take over Jiangnan at that time, perhaps Li You would not have had the power he has now. As he thought about it, he became a little absent-minded.

The secretary reminded him softly, and Zhu Mengyong came to his senses in an instant. He turned around and quickly followed the waiter, walking into the club.

In a private room deep in the third floor, these two most powerful men in Seoul finally met.

What made Zhu Mengyong's mouth twitch was that Li You inside was eating now.

Li You even prepared one for him.

"President Zhu is here," Li You looked up and greeted him, "Eat first, and then we'll talk about business." Although Zhu Mengyong had already had a simple meal before coming, seeing Li You lowering his head to eat and not intending to speak, he could only follow the host's wishes.

The tableware shone a faint silver light under the light. Li You behaved freely here and didn't care about the etiquette at the table.

He used a dinner knife to cut the steak on the plate, each cut was very crisp, then he inserted the knife directly into the meat and put it into his mouth to devour it.

Li You enjoyed it with big gulps, and from time to time he would pick up the wine glass, let the red wine sway gently in the crystal clear glass, and then take a sip of the red wine. He didn't even give Zhu Mengyong opposite him a second glance.

The whole person exudes a sense of: I am just like this. If you don’t want to talk, you can leave.

Zhu Mengyong also understood, and he ate his Western meal in silence.

Although his eating posture seemed more elegant, there was a hint of stiffness in his movements.

The disrespect of this meal was from the outside to the inside, and the whole of Kinmen revealed this attitude, but Zhu Mengyong still had to endure it.

He carefully put the food into his mouth with a fork, savoring it slowly even though it was not cooked to his liking.

Sitting at the same table with two people, there is actually a delicate balance.

While eating beef, Zhu Mengyong looked inside the box from time to time. The room was indeed very tasteful. There were oil paintings on the wall that were very familiar to Zhu Mengyong, and the wooden floor was covered with exquisite carpets.

"I'm full," Li You lazily lit a cigarette, "President Zhu, hurry up."

Zhu Mengyong put down his knife and fork, "I'm full."

"Are you full?" Li You glanced at the half-eaten plate left on Zhu Mengyong's plate and shook his head, "I don't think President Zhu is full."

Zhu Mengyong's face froze. He forced a smile, held it in, and lowered his head to continue eating.

Don’t be deceived by the poverty in middle age.

He ate without paying attention to his table manners at this time and finished his meal quickly.

Li You smoked quietly and didn't talk to Zhu Mengyong until he finished eating everything and touched his stomach feeling a little uncomfortable.

"President Zhu has a good appetite," Li You grinned, "Shall we talk somewhere else?"

Zhu Mengyong coughed and took up the red wine to moisten his throat. "The guest should follow the host's wishes, President Li."

After going out, the secretary who was stopped at the door of the private room had disappeared, and Zhu Mengyong stopped.

"Don't worry," Li You stood in front of the elevator and smiled at him, "Chairman Zhu's secretary went to another room for dinner."

Zhu Mengyong felt that he was now completely led by Li You, but he had to go because there was already a lot of dissatisfaction within the family towards him. He had to successfully negotiate and consolidate his position before he could have a future.

Outside Li You’s exclusive office on the fourth floor, two Kinmen security guards bowed and saluted. Li You patted them on the shoulders and opened the office door casually.

After Li You entered, he sat on the sofa in the reception room, crossing his legs. Li Youmo and Yin Zhiyou were also in the office.

Zhu Mengyong followed him and also sat down on the sofa.

Compared to Li You's relaxed posture, Zhu Mengyong was as stiff as a stone statue.

This is the man who can blow up their camp and manor.
Zhu Mengyong felt deeply moved that he was indeed different from the big shots he had met before.

Thinking of the bombing of Daying Manor, Zhu Mengyong felt dissatisfied with Li You again. It would have been better if the uncles and brothers who opposed him were also there when Li You bombed Daying Manor.
"What is President Zhu thinking about?" Li You took out another cigarette and held it in his mouth, but did not light it.

Zhu Mengyong shook his head, "It's not important."

He came here to show his power and to show his authority, not to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"President Li," Zhu Mengyong said solemnly, sitting upright, "Can we begin?"

"If you ask me," Li You said with a smile, to Zhu Mengyong's surprise, "Why is President Zhu so serious?"

His tone was teasing, "Is it inside the camp?"

Zhu Mengyong shook his head.

"Tsk," Li You raised his eyebrows, "Chairman Zhu is really stubborn."

He held the cigarette between his fingers and said, "Since President Zhu is so impatient, let's get started."

The lighting was bright and gentle, but the scene suddenly became cold because of Li You's words.

Li You and Zhu Mengyong sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere between them began to become solemn.

"Everyone knows what you did," Li You leaned back in his chair, "You were the ones who started the trouble in the beginning."

Zhu Mengyong nodded silently, "Are we even now?"

Li You laughed out loud, his eyes sharp enough to see through people's hearts, "Is this what the camp leader should say?"

There was a barely perceptible anxiety on Zhu Mengyong's brows, he felt that he was being affected.

Even beneath his calmness, there was a hint of uneasiness.

"Chairman Li has done enough," he did not look directly at Li You, but looked down at the coffee table in the middle.

Between them was an intricately carved wooden coffee table, on which was placed a cup of tea that had already been left to rest. The steam was rising gently, almost transparent under the light.

Before they came up, someone had prepared tea.

"We have gained enough," Zhu Mengyong sighed, "We were even before. During this peace talk, the camp will try its best to meet Chairman Li's requirements."

Zhu Mengyong's meaning was very clear. The goal of the peace talks was to avoid the Daying Group being attacked from both the Tianxia Group and the Daying Group. However, if the price was too high, it would be better to be attacked from both sides.

Zhu Mengyong, who was seeking peace, gradually calmed down. He found that he was a little anxious and upset because of his previous experience in the Kinmen Club.

Fortunately, he has calmed down now. Although there is still a hint of anxiety in his eyes, he is much calmer than before.

"President Li is also a wise man. If this business competition continues, the consequences are self-evident."

"Among the three of us, the Tianxia Group has the strongest foundation," Zhu Mengyong said, "If the three parties continue to fight like this, the one that will survive in the end will definitely be the Tianxia Group."

"Why don't the Kinmen Group stay out of this first and watch us fight each other."

Zhu Mengyong said frankly, "If it was before Tianxia Automobile appeared, maybe after Chairman Li withdrew from the matter, Tianxia would not take action to avoid being taken advantage of by Chairman Li."

"But now, in the competition in the automobile market, our Daying Group and Tianxia Group have reached the point where they can no longer retreat," he sighed, his voice a little hoarse, "We cannot avoid conflicts, and it is impossible for us to withdraw from it."

Li You looked at him, "It seems that President Zhu is confident."

"It's just in the automotive field," Zhu Mengyong said faintly, "Daying has been operating in the automotive industry on the Korean Peninsula for decades. It is not something that a fledgling Tianxia Auto can overthrow."

There was an extra layer of calculation and consideration in his expression, "It's just that we really can't gather our strength to fight the world, and then face President Li. This is why we are willing to pay the price to end the dispute between us."

"."

Li You lit the cigarette in his hand with a lighter, "You can end it. I didn't say you can't."

Li You exhaled a puff of smoke, "But didn't President Zhu say what the price the camp can pay?"

"Reconciliation can't be achieved with words alone," Li You said, holding a cigarette between his fingers. "I know that the camp will definitely not make any sacrifices that will hurt us, so there is no need for President Zhu to hide it."

Zhu Mengyong sighed, "The file is with my secretary."

Li You grinned and waved his hand. Yin Zhiyou nodded silently and went out to bring Zhu Mengyong's secretary over.

The secretary lowered his head and followed Yoon Ji-woo in quickly. He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Zhu Mengyong.

Zhu Mengyong paused for a few seconds and handed it to Li You, "This is my sincerity."
