Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 44: Virtual and Submissive
The next day, Li You received the address sent by Zhao Changzhi early in the morning. It was a very famous restaurant with reservations.

When preparing to leave in the evening, Li You saw Xu Zhonglie wearing a suit, but it looked awkward no matter how he looked at it, and he felt uncomfortable wearing it himself.

The black sedan drove into the parking lot of this reservation-only restaurant, but Li You lowered his eyes after entering the lobby. He was obviously not early when he arrived, and was even stopped by the waiter because Zhao Changzhi did not tell him the specific room number.

"We can't come in?" Xu Zhonglie's face was gloomy. The male waiter who stayed to comfort the guest was obviously a little scared. "I'm very sorry, sir, we didn't mean to make things difficult for you. After confirming the information, we will take you to the agreed room."

"No need for that." Li You knew that this was a warning from Zhao Changzhi or Han Jiangzhi, otherwise no one would have answered the phone just now. "Brother Xu, let's go."

"Sir!" a man's voice came over, "Please wait a moment!"

"Is this President Lee?" A man in a neat black suit came over with a hearty smile. He was very graceful and friendly, with his neat 3:7 hair combed meticulously. "I'm Han Jiangzhi, and I'm currently working under Chief Prosecutor Zhao."

"Li You," Li You raised his hand and shook his hand, "Minister Han, do you know the room number?"

"Just now Chief Prosecutor Zhao went to the restroom and left his phone behind. When he saw me, he asked me to come down to pick up President Li." Han Jiangzhi's expression did not change, and he still had that gentle smile. "Come with me, I'll take President Li upstairs. There are many friends who want to meet you."

"Xu bro," Li You looked at Xu Zhonglie, "Wait for me outside."

Xu Zhonglie nodded, "Call me if you need anything."

Even though Han Jiangzhi was leading the way in front with great grace, Li You still sneered in his heart, one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop.

He was very curious about what kind of benefits Han Jiangzhi promised to Zhao Changzhi that would make Zhao Changzhi take the initiative to play the good guy for him?
The two of them walked down the stairs to the second floor. At the door of the private room at the back, a much younger man stood there to greet them, "Senior, you're back!"

"Yes, Tae-soo." Han Jiangzhi put his arm around him and introduced him to Li You, "This is my close junior and an excellent prosecutor, Park Tae-soo!"

"Hello," Park Tae-soo stretched out his hands and shook hands with Li You, "Who are you?"

"He is the representative of Gangnam Industrial and now runs quite a few businesses in Gangnam District." Han Jiangzhi smiled, "Right, President Li?"

Park Tae-soo took a quick look and found that Li You's expression was somewhat similar to Han Jiangzhi's. The only difference was that President Li had a rough air about him, which could not be concealed even with a pair of glasses on his face.

"Yes," Li You nodded, "but Jiangnan Industry is still far behind. It's just a small industry. I, as a representative, can't compare with the two prosecutors."

"President Li, thank you for your compliment," Han Jiangzhi opened the bamboo door, "President Li, please come in!"

This is a private room that can accommodate more than a dozen people. There is a long table inside. Several people in suits and ties are sitting on the floor and talking to each other. Zhao Changzhi is sitting at the top, accepting compliments with a smile.

"President Li," Zhao Changzhi said, looking very calm, but in reality, he didn't even lift his butt an inch, "Come and sit down!"

The first few people who sat down also quieted down. When everyone was seated, Zhao Changzhi raised his glass first, "Everyone, today is a gathering among our friends. The main point is to introduce each other. I hope we can get along well. I will introduce you to each other in a while."

Han Jiangzhi raised his glass first, and the others also raised their glasses as if they had received some instructions. Li You, who was sitting among them, was no exception.

"Cheers!" As Zhao Changzhi drank the wine in his glass, the people who were invited followed suit and raised their glasses to drink.

Han Jiangzhi said with a smile, "Dongzhe, please introduce everyone here. You should know them, right?"

"Yes, senior." Yang Dongzhe straightened his upper body and introduced the elites sitting in their seats one by one.

"First of all, Chief Prosecutor Cho, the top official of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office! He is also my role model!"

Even though everyone present knew who it was, they clapped their hands at this moment. Zhao Changzhi's eyes were full of satisfaction, and he pressed his hands, "No need to do this, no need to do this."

After the room gradually quieted down, Yang Dongzhe continued, "Then it's my most respected senior! Director Han Jiangzhi of the Criminal Division of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office!"

The voice continued, and Li You observed each person he introduced. Except for the four prosecutors, the others did not seem to be important people.

Soon it was Li You's turn to be introduced. Yang Dongzhe had never seen Li You before, but he could recite his information familiarly, "Then there is the representative of Jiangnan Industrial, the young and promising Representative Li!"

The applause was still loud, and everyone began to drink and eat while chatting about things that interested them. Even Han Jiangzhi began to share his story of cracking the Mokpo Gang with a slightly blushing face.

"We were also taking risks at the time," Han Jiangzhi said drunkenly, "We were dispatched to the first scene. The Mokpo Gang at the time were all fierce guys." He seemed to be hinting at something, and Park Tae-soo echoed him, "I was still a high school student at the time. After seeing my senior's dismantling of the Mokpo Gang in the newspaper, I decided to become a prosecutor like him!"

Zhao Changzhi still smiled and said, "Then you have to follow Minister Han closely, his pace is hard to catch up with!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Chief Prosecutor!" Han Jiangzhi raised the glass in his hand again and drank it all. "Another toast to the Chief Prosecutor!"

"Hey," Zhao Changzhi returned the toast and looked at his watch. "It's getting late. I have to go to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office tomorrow. I'll go back first."

Zhao Changzhi stood up and was escorted to the restaurant entrance by a group of people, where he watched the driver drive away to pick him up.

Back in the private room, the invited guests found reasons to leave one after another. Li You knew in his heart that this banquet was actually aimed at him.

When Han Jiangzhi, three prosecutors and Li You were the only ones left in the room, Han Jiangzhi suddenly sobered up and asked, "Does Representative Li have any other plans tonight?"

"No." Li You stared at him, "Does Minister Han have any plans?"

"Yes, yes," Han Jiangzhi restrained his expression, "Is Representative Li going?"

Li You laughed, "How can Minister Han ask such a question? If Minister Han welcomes it, of course I am willing to do it."

"Ah..." Han Jiangzhi sighed, "Chief Prosecutor Zhao said that Representative Li is a rough man. I think Representative Li can do a good job as a prosecutor!"
