Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 72 Mutual Aid
"Everyone!" Han Jiangzhi said calmly as he stood on the steps. "From now on, Representative Li will be a member of our mutual aid association."

“I hope everyone can get along well with Representative Li.”

"Reporter Bai, can you do this?"

Bai Ridong was still sober. He raised his glass and nodded silently.

"Then let's celebrate for Representative Li joining us." Han Jiangzhi raised the goblet and drank the wine in it.

After the brief welcome ceremony, many people came to talk to Li You.

Park Tae-soo had previously introduced to him only those who were familiar to him or had business dealings with him, but he did not introduce other members.

Li You also saw Mr. Jin, the head of Hankou Bank, who sold the evidence of Han Jiangzhi to him. The middle-aged man was too timid to come over.

"Mr. Li," a beautiful lady came forward and said, "I heard that there is a new casino in Seocho District, Gangnam that is very fun. I wonder if Mr. Li has ever been there?"

"Casino?" Li You thought about it and realized that Jiangnan Industrial had indeed received protection fees from several casinos, but he didn't know which one the lady was talking about.

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "I haven't had the chance to introduce myself yet. My last name is Yu. I don't usually have anything to do, so I just like to play some small games."

"President Yu is not playing small games," a bald man complimented, "There are no small games in the world that easily make tens of millions."

"Hey," President Yu patted the bald man, "Representative Jin, you are joking. How can I compare with you? All my money was left by that dead guy."

The bald man smiled and stretched out his hand to Li You. "Deputy Li, I do know the owner of that casino, but I don't think he would be in your eyes."

Li You shook hands with him and said, "Why don't you tell me about it? I am somewhat interested in casinos."

The bald man's face froze. He didn't know what Li You meant by "interest". After all, most of Jiangnan's entertainment industries were now monopolized by Jiangnan Industry. Who knew if he would target the casinos?

He forced himself to laugh twice, "That casino isn't very big, and only regular customers go there to play."

"What's the boss's name?"

President Yu brought a glass of wine to the two of them. The bald man wiped his sweat and smiled, "The boss is Gao Zhang, he is my friend. He wanted to visit you before. You happened to be busy at that time."

"Representative Li, President Yu, you two can talk first."

Looking at Representative Kim walking away, President Yu wrinkled his nose and said, "Representative Kim is very afraid of you, Representative Lee."

"Aren't you afraid?" Li You glanced at her.

"Why should I be afraid? I haven't offended you." President Yu stretched lazily, "But that casino is really fun, but I always lose money."

"Do you think it's okay for a casino to keep losing money?"

"Hey, it's just for fun!" President Yu waved his hand. "Besides, I met a very handsome young man, who is only slightly less handsome than Representative Li."

Her index finger and thumb were almost touching each other.

"Representative Li, go play when you have time. Maybe I can beat you a couple of times."

President Yu wandered off with his wine glass, but Li Zongzheng came over to tell Li You the origin of this woman.

"This woman's husband was a famous investor when he was alive," Li Zongzheng said with a click of his tongue. "After her husband died, she joined us in search of protection. She is a woman who is not stingy with money."

This woman is extremely smart.

"Representative Li, shall we go over there and have a chat?"

Li Youzi had no objection, as the highlight of tonight was about to come.

Several prosecutors, led by Han Jiangzhi, were sitting in this private room.

In addition to Park Tae-soo and the others, there were a few people that Lee You didn't know, but Han Jiangzhi had no intention of introducing them. Seeing Lee Jong-jeong and Lee You come in, Han Jiangzhi tilted his head slightly, and the others quietly left, leaving the space for the three of them.

"Representative Li, let me explain the situation." Li Zongzheng repeated what Park Tae-soo had said in the car before.

"Let me add something to you," Han Jiangzhi frowned, "Now I have resisted the pressure from the other party, but since there is no way to break through their 'shield' through formal channels, I need to ask Representative Li for help."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Councilor Yan Xianqi is not a pushover. He has been using his connections to attack me." Han Jiangzhi twisted his neck and made a crisp sound. "I am going to release a case to divert the negative voices against me now."

"Then we need Representative Li's help," Li Zongzheng took over, "The development company under him is called Hongye Development, which is not a big deal."

"Just check this development company. Thank you for your help."

"No problem," Li You raised his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, Representative Li." Han Jiangzhi took the initiative to say, "The formation of the mutual aid association is based on trust."

"Once there is a crisis of trust among members, the system of this mutual aid association will be destroyed."

"Jiang Zhi is too serious, Representative Li." Li Zongzheng patted his junior, "Anyway, your efforts will definitely pay off. No one works for nothing in the mutual aid association."

"I know." Li You naturally wouldn't say that he could tell they were not lying just by looking at the glasses on their faces.

"You said before that you were going to release a case?"

"Yes," Han Jiangzhi and Li Zongzheng looked at each other, "We discussed it and decided to expose Cha Yilian's drug case."

"She was the first love of the people of Korea in the 1990s and the white moonlight in the hearts of Korean men." Li Zongzheng smiled, "If this gets out, public opinion will be turned upside down. The small commotion caused by the other side is nothing."

"Then let this woman accuse Councillor Yan." Li Zongzheng shook his head. "I don't even dare to imagine how he feels."

"When are you going to do it?" Li You said indifferently, "I will take advantage of the fact that he is too busy to do it."

"Next week," Han Jiangzhi stood up, "I'll tell you in person then."

On the way back, Choi Doo-il couldn't help but ask Lee Woo, "President, how do you feel?"

"Demons are everywhere," Li You shook his head, "They are all beasts in civilized clothing."

"I've been there a few times, but they can't even remember my name, even though I'm the second in command of the so-called Wild Dog Security."

"If you want them to remember you, you can't be a dog. You have to be a wolf that can bite them. Otherwise, how can they respect you?" Li You exhaled a puff of smoke out the window.

"By the way," he asked while smoking, "is there a casino owner named Gao Zhang in Seocho?"

In addition to being Lee Woo's driver, Choi Doo-il was busy in Seocho District most of the time. He did know someone, "There's a guy called Go Jang. I heard that their casino is doing well."

"Does the president want to see him?" Choi Doo-il turned his head and said, "I'll call Brother Long. Brother Long has the phone numbers of the bosses in Seocho District."

Choi Doo-il was responsible for the maintenance of Seocho District, and Yong Dae was responsible for its management. This was what Lee You had decided for them.

He had no fear for his subordinates, either them or others.

[Loyalty!] This blue item that increases the loyalty of subordinates has made him more and more assured recently.

"No need to fight," Li You took the last puff of cigarette, "I'll go to the casino later to take a look."

He felt that this casino and President Yu were very familiar to him, but the familiarity did not help him remember what was going on. Perhaps this casino might have some tasks that could be triggered.

Where there is a task, there is a reward.
