Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 644: Rebirth and Apology

"If Zhu Mengyuan is not released, Daying Haiyang will be at their mercy," Zhao Taixie said in a deep voice. "If Zhu Mengyuan can't stand the pressure in the Procuratorate and tells about you and him, I'm afraid you, Chairman Jin, will also be taken away for investigation."

"I know," Jin Jianying nodded, looking calm, "but how can we stop this from happening now?"

"Anyway, this matter will definitely not be settled in a short time, and it will take some time for the court to deal with Daying Haiyang," Jin Jianying said silently, "What we need to do now is to find a way to protect ourselves during this period of time, instead of continuing to stir up trouble."

just
Whether it was Li You who planned this matter or Zhu Mengyuan who was taking action, they simply did not give them enough time.

While Li You was spending the whole day with Mou Xianmin, who was about to give birth, Daying Group's acquisition of Daying Ocean went smoothly as expected.

Just eleven days later, before even February, the court's review of Daying Ocean's specific circumstances had concluded, and the "bidding" for bankruptcy reorganization had been formally completed.

Those creditors who seemed extremely difficult to deal with in the eyes of the Supreme Court and forced Daying Ocean to go bankrupt and reorganize were actually very easy to talk to when facing the acquirer Daying Group.

As for those shares of Daying Ocean, Daying Group had already prepared the money and was waiting with its bloody mouth wide open to buy them.

The acquisition, which should have lasted several months or even a year, took only eleven days this time.

With the cooperation of the Busan City Government, the Supreme Court responsible for the review, and the banks acting as creditors, Daying Group completed the acquisition within eleven days.

"Daying Group completes the acquisition of Daying Ocean!"

《Daying Ocean is still Daying Ocean!》

Li You leaned back in the hospital chair and flipped through two copies of today's newspaper provided by the hospital.

Quan Zaijun stood aside with his head down. "The news has come from Director Zhao that Jin Jianying, the chairman of Tianxia Group, will be summoned today. He can't escape this disaster. Zhu Mengyuan and Jin Jianying will be investigated by the Procuratorate together."

Li You nodded casually, "Jin Jianying looks much better, but he is still a sickly person who takes medicine all day long. He is getting worse day by day. Let Chief Zhao pay attention to this aspect and allow him to bring a doctor in. Otherwise, when he goes in strong, he will come out looking like an old man. It will not be good for the reputation of their procuratorate."

"Yes," Quan Jae-jun nodded and immediately went to the side to start passing on the message.

After a while, the door of the delivery room was opened.

Li You stood up and walked over. The midwife came out and said, "Mother and child are fine. The mother needs to be observed for two hours."

After a brief round of congratulations, Li You sat back down.

"President." Although Quan Jae-jun was on the phone, he also heard the news.

"Go and ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over first," Li You waved his hand, "They should be waiting anxiously in the lounge."

Quan Jae-jun nodded his head and nodded yes, then he took a step and hurried away, controlling the sound of his footsteps.

"."

Two hours later, after being transferred to the VIP ward, Li You finally saw his wife and son.

Although Mou Zhengxiong and his wife were also anxious, they suppressed their excitement and waited for Li You and Mou Xianmin to talk in front of them without disturbing them.

Quan Zaijun was waiting at the door with his head down, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that the usually cold Li You was laughing softly.

"Is our son good-looking?" Mou Xianmin asked softly.

"Tell the truth?" Li You smiled.

"Let's not do that," Mou Xianmin shook her head. Although she had a unique motherly gaze towards her son, she would not say that a newborn was good-looking.

After reaching out to push the wet hair off Mou Xianmin's forehead, Li You gave up his seat to let Mou Zhengxiong and his wife see their daughter and grandson.

During their conversation, Li You loosened his dark gray tie and walked outside to the VIP floor corridor that was completely vacated for this day. He glanced at the eight black-clad security guards standing in the distance with their heads bowed, frowned, and looked at Quan Zaijun, "Go and send another person over."

"Yes."

Mou Xianmin has to stay in the hospital for two days. Since there is nothing to do these days, Li You is also here to accompany her.

He did not control the outflow of information, and soon the news that the Kinmen Group had a successor spread among the middle and upper classes in Seoul. These people were tactful enough not to come to the hospital to disturb them, but instead sent gifts to the manor. In a short time, the gifts filled several storage rooms.

The person who sent the gift didn't even see Li You and his wife, but he still behaved very respectfully and submissively, and the gifts were all expensive.

After all, Li You may not remember who gave the gift, but they are sure that those who didn’t give the gift will be remembered.

Cho Tae-seop and Kim Gun-young, two 'brothers in distress', also asked their secretaries to deliver gifts.

On the second day of hospitalization, Li You was standing at the door and explaining some group business to the secretary who came over. Then he saw Quan Jae-joon stepping into the corridor from the elevator and walking towards him quickly with big strides.

After Li You finished instructing his secretary, Li You glanced at him and asked, "What's going on?"

Jeon Jae-jun immediately said, "Councilman Moon wants to see you. It's probably something urgent."

Li You frowned, "Moon Jae-Yun?"

Wen Zaiyin was not a person who did not know the time. Thinking that he wanted to talk to him about something, Li You asked Quan Zaijun to pick him up.

"Chairman Li," Wen Zaiyin looked anxious and trotted over, "Zhao Taixie has caused trouble."

"Jo Tae-seop?" Li You raised his eyebrows and looked at Jeon Jae-joon. "Didn't he ask his secretary to deliver the gift to the manor yesterday?"

"Yes," Jeon Jae-joon nodded.

Li You got a definite answer, "Then what happened to him today?"

Moon Jae-yoon then began to explain, "According to the news just received, he will announce his resignation as leader of the Grand Unified Democratic New Party."

"."

Li You laughed, "Zhao Taixie is really..."

"Are you trying to retreat in order to advance at a time like this?"

"How did Councillor Moon get the news?" Li You shook his head and looked at Moon Jae-yoon. "I don't believe he would tell the members of the Grand Unified Democratic Party about this. Even his assistant and secretary are the only ones who know about this. Who did Councillor Moon bribe?"

"No one was bribed," Wen Zaiyin frowned, "I'm also curious about who sent me that message." Li You narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of Han Zhixian, the 'messenger of the underworld' who was destined to betray Zhao Taixie.

His brother has been brainwashed since childhood and has become the emotionless loyal killer of Zhao Taixie, 'K'. He also pretends to be brainwashed and becomes a loyal secretary, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
"President Li," Wen Zaiyin said anxiously, "What should we do?"

"Watch a show."

"?" Wen Zaiyin opened his eyes wide, "Watching a show?"

"That's right," Li You nodded, "It's none of our business, why should we care?"

He still explained, "Jo Tae-seop is just acting with the cooperation of some people. Do you think he will really resign?"

"Of course not," Wen Zaiyin said immediately, "How could he, a cold-blooded man who is obsessed with power, give up?"

"That's all," Li You shrugged. "When Cho Tae-seop was acting, do you think he wouldn't be on guard against the top figures of the two factions within the Grand Unified Democratic New Party vying for the position of party leader?"

"Although there will be a lot of noise, the more times like this, the less chance Zhang Shuozhou, the reformist, and Huang Yuanlong, the conservative, will have in the Grand Unified Democratic Party."

"Besides, is Councillor Wen really going to help Zhang Shuozhou fight for the position of party leader?" Li You patted his shoulder. "You are relatively equal now because the things you control are relatively balanced. When he takes the position, the first person he will target may be you."

Wen Zaiyin also knew all this, so he simply let it go. He put on a smile and said, "Then I'll listen to Chairman Li."

"I would also like to congratulate you in person on the birth of your baby."

When Wen Zaiyin left, Li You shook his head helplessly.

Moon Jae-yoon, who has made his mark in the political arena in the future, would never be so rash.

Today, Moon Jae-yoon has not experienced the death of a close friend, nor has he been in the political arena for so many years, so he is still considered a "newcomer".

Sure enough, two hours after Wen Zaiyin found Li You, Li You saw it on the TV in the next room.
Cho Tae-seop is 'seriously ill and dying'.

Zhao Taixie in the center of the camera no longer looked as vigorous as he used to be in front of the public. Instead, he was so weak that he needed two people to support him even when walking.

Even so, he faced the camera and was helped to bow.

Amid the flashing lights, Cho Tae-seop was helped to the Seoul National University Hospital behind him.

But this brief appearance did not satisfy the reporters' curiosity, nor did it allay the concerns of his vast supporters.

Li You was also playing with his mobile phone in the next ward, waiting for the 'update'.

An hour later, Han Zhixian, the director of Zhao Taixie's secretariat, came out with a sad face and showed several documents to the reporters, including a diagnosis of "acute myocarditis combined with heart failure", an electrocardiogram and a critical illness notice.

Han Ji-hyun said in front of the camera that Party Leader Cho devoted his life to the people and wanted to help Daying Ocean overcome the difficulties, but Daying Ocean's bankruptcy and reorganization made all his efforts go to waste. He is currently undergoing rescue due to sleepless days. He urges all journalists not to cause congestion in the hospital, please treat him as an ordinary patient and give him enough personal space.

That being said, none of the reporters left, because no matter how many news channels Li You switched, he could see Seoul National University Hospital from different angles on them.

When Li You returned to the manor with his wife, children and a large group of people, new news came from Zhao Taixie.

It was a statement recorded by Cho Tae-seop on his bed in the intensive care unit after he was rescued. His voice was weak but firm: "Cho is willing to apologize for this, resign from the position of party leader from today, and beg for forgiveness from the people."

Next, a TV reporter reported: "It is reported that Congressman Cho Tae-seop has submitted his 'resignation' to the National Assembly."

Li You watched this video and thought that Zhao Taixie was really a...
An excellent politician and an even better actor.

In order to erase the recent stigma and reputation of "inaction", such a drama was staged.

After all, on the Korean Peninsula, bad politicians are completely different from bad artists. Bad artists can still wait for an opportunity to make a comeback, film a movie, take an advertisement, and collect money from the public, but bad politicians will really be abandoned by their "fans", that is, their supporters.

Mou Xianmin also watched TV yesterday and knew what happened to Zhao Taixie yesterday, but she was not interested in it. She just hugged her child in bed all the time and was reluctant to put him in the crib.

She just asked casually, "Is the resignation letter submitted by Zhao Taixie real?"

"It's true," Li You also hugged her. His wife and child now had a faint milky scent, "but it's useless."

"why?"

Li You satisfied her curiosity. "There is a loophole in the Korean Peninsula's Political Party Law. Formal resignation requires a vote at a general meeting of their party. Cho Tae-seop's so-called 'resignation' submitted to the National Assembly did not even trigger the internal procedures of the Grand Unified Democratic New Party. What is he resigning for?"

Li You was about to swear, but he swallowed it back at Mou Xianmin's gaze, "How can such a little kid know swear words..."

"You can't say that here," Mou Xianmin gently pinched Li You, "It will also teach children bad habits."

As the two chatted, they began to tease their son affectionately.

Three days later, on February 1, 2009, the next step of Zhao Tae-seop's plan also began on this day.

Gwanghwamun, Yeouido National Assembly Building, and the New Democratic Party Office Building.
At Gwanghwamun, a familiar place for Seoul citizens to march and protest, there are currently tens of thousands of Cho Tae-seop's supporters, wearing red bands and constantly shouting slogans.
It is not clear whether there are any extras in it.

However, they held a rally in Gwanghwamun, holding up signs that read "The country needs you, Councillor Cho Tae-seop!" and the social media hashtag "#PleaseDon'tLeave" entered the top three online searches.

Outside the Yeouido National Assembly Building, a close member of the Cho Tae-sub faction displayed a long petition and said it was a "petition signed by one million citizens asking Cho Tae-sub to remain as party leader."

Inside the National Assembly building, more than 20 lawmakers from Cho Tae-seop's faction collectively submitted their "resignation letters," declaring that they would "stand by the party leader's side."

Because of this incident, even the legislative agenda of Congress was paralyzed for a short period of time.

For a time, the attention on this matter reached an unprecedented high, and various things were telling everyone that "the party leader is irreplaceable."

Many citizens who originally had no idea what kind of person Cho Tae-seop was, also began to think.
Could this be a good officer?
The atmosphere within the Grand Unified Democratic New Party was a little strange at this time.

Zhang Shuozhou originally thought this was an opportunity, but after all, he was not a newcomer like Moon Jae-yoon who had only been in politics for two years. He was an old hand who had been struggling for more than ten years. He figured out Zhao Tae-seop's intention after a little thought. Unfortunately, this was an open conspiracy and he couldn't break it.

Several senior members of parliament, who were either reformists or conservatives, were now speaking out in the meeting room.

"If Party Leader Zhao resigns at this time, it is tantamount to betraying the supporters of our Grand Unified Democratic Party and also betraying our Grand Unified Democratic Party!"

They are obviously reformists and conservatives within the New Party of Democracy, but their statements are inexplicably close to the "Cho Tae-seop faction."
