The penniless son of the penniless ...

Having made up his mind, Zhang Junfeng quickly contacted Jin Zhongmin. Having successfully served in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, he has a lot of unknown political and business scandals and inside stories.

As long as he can reveal some dirty laundry about politicians and even chaebols, the election campaign, which is in full swing, will be greatly affected. Will the experienced Lee Hui-chang handle it better or will the "hate evil" Wu Xuan lawyer be better?
……

When Jin Zhongmin heard Zhang Junfeng's request, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Brother Junfeng, are you sure it's the right time to release those 'things'? Otherwise, let's wait and see?"

Zhang Junfeng said meaningfully, "There is an idiom in the neighboring Long country called 'helping charcoal in the snow'. If there is no major change in the current situation, it is very likely that Li Huichang will be the final winner. It's just that he is not the same as us. Once he takes power, he will most likely support his own confidants. This will not be of any benefit to you or me."

"If we follow our previous plan, after Wu Xuan takes the position, we only need to guide and manipulate him properly, and he will become our best 'weapon' to attack our competitors. In this way, our interests can be fully protected..."

After hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Jin Zhongmin was silent for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and agreed decisively, and said that tomorrow they would arrange for their trusted subordinates to expose the negative information of some designated chaebols and political cadres in order to muddy the current situation.

The reason why Kim Jong-min agreed was because what Zhang Junfeng said hit his "vital point"!
Although Lee Hoi-chang seems to have served as a senior official in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, he has little interaction with Kim Jong-min. This means that once the other party takes office, he will not get any benefits. It is even possible that because the other party wants to promote his confidants to important positions, he, an "outsider" who serves as the head of the Central Investigation Department in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, is likely to be "promoted in name but demoted in reality". After all, his appointment was a benefit to Mr. Dae-jong.

According to the "Blue House curse" of these years, after the former president steps down, he will inevitably be "found fault" and liquidated by the new president. Once problems are found, a fierce investigation and liquidation will be launched to reduce the influence of the predecessor. People like him who were promoted by Mr. Dae Jong are lucky not to be implicated.

It is better to follow Zhang Junfeng's advice and choose Wuxuan, which has a good reputation. Maybe if you are lucky, you can even get the title of "Follow the Dragon"!

……

The next morning, staff from several television media outlets received an anonymous document with extremely explosive content, including a video of a middle-aged man who looked like SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won having fun with several women in a luxurious private club. The video also featured several officials who were punished last year.

Seeing this situation, many people who reacted quickly understood the problem. It seems that the money, power and sex transaction in the private club that caused a sensation last year still has a "fish that slipped through the net", and judging from the situation, it is very likely that the biggest fish has escaped!

Some bold media leaders who wanted to attract attention finally made up their minds after repeated consideration and arranged for their subordinates to prepare the layout and put the information on the front page. As for whether SK Group will retaliate in the future, we will talk about it later. Let's grab the heat and attention first!
Seeing that the "first bird" had taken the lead, other media followed suit and the TV station also made temporary adjustments to the content of its news reports.

Soon, news about SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won's alleged improper transactions and collusion with officials for personal gain was widely publicized.

……

In the office of the chairman of SK Group, when his trusted subordinate handed the newspaper to Choi Tae-won and reported the situation to him tremblingly, Choi Tae-won's face turned pale and he roared, "Asiba, which bastard leaked these things?!"

"According to the current situation... it should be that the people behind the scenes got hold of the video secretly recorded in the private club, which is why this situation occurred. But didn't President Shin Dongbing say that this kind of thing had been completely handled?" the subordinate reminded tentatively.

Cui Taiyuan, who was prompted by the other party, quickly reacted. Isn't that the case? ! It's fine for Xin Dongbing to open a private club and be a brothel owner, but he is obviously malicious for doing this kind of thing! Now that the matter has not been handled properly, who else can take the blame if not him? !
However, the most urgent task at hand is that SK Group must have an official statement and must not allow public opinion to continue to ferment. Otherwise, once it is misled by certain people, SK Group will inevitably be plagued by negative news and even the company's stock price will be affected. This result is definitely not what Cui Taiyuan wants to see!
……

After a quick discussion with his subordinates, Cui Taiyuan planned to deny it to the end and refused to admit that the person in the video was him. He asked his subordinates not to forget to warn the media reporters and the public who spread rumors and slandered him when they issued a statement to clarify the matter. As long as they struck hard and made an example of them, those guys should be much quieter and would not cause any more trouble.

At the same time, Choi Tae-won also contacted Shin Dong-bing, the "culprit", and questioned him about the private club incident. If the matter was exposed, and Choi Tae-won couldn't get out of it, then Shin Dong-bing couldn't stay out of it either.

……

After hanging up the phone, Xin Dongbing looked extremely unhappy. He had clearly killed the person in charge of the club and had taken back the video footage, so how could such a thing be circulated? ! Now that he was threatened by Cui Taiyuan, he was naturally in a very bad mood.

He originally planned to hold those data in his hand, and use them as leverage to threaten the other party at a critical moment to achieve some goals for himself. But now that the matter has been exposed in advance, let alone threatening the other party, if he is not handled properly and gets himself involved, that would be a lot of fun!

Thinking of this, Xin Dongbing angrily called over the subordinate who had done work for him before, and asked him whether he had left any "tails" that were not cleaned up when he did the work before?

The subordinates, who knew their boss's personality, quickly denied it, firmly stating that they had not left any problems and would never let any mistakes happen. They were afraid that if they hesitated for a moment, the ruthless guy Xin Dongbing would push all the responsibilities to them, and then even if it had nothing to do with them, they would probably be labeled as "scapegoats"!

……

In addition to the parties involved, the top political and business leaders in China are also discussing the matter. Many people have already confirmed the authenticity of the video based on the appearance of the people in the video. After all, some officials who appeared in the video were punished last year, and some of the serious cases are still working on the sewing machines in prison and have not been able to come out!
Under such circumstances, how could Choi Tae-won, the chairman of SK Group, appear in the video? How come other chaebol leaders did not have such a situation? Many things are often so "simple and clear", but they cannot be announced directly to the public.

……

Office of the President of Five Star Group.

Li Jianxi glanced at the newspaper that Director Yin brought over, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. "It seems that this Cui Taiyuan is not a serious person. This kind of thing was recorded by someone, which is even more stupid~!"

When Li Zairong heard his father say this, the corners of his mouth twitched. This kind of thing happened, and it was obviously a bit off topic to approach it from this point of view!

"Father, what do you think Cui Taiyuan will do next? Will he hold a press conference to distance himself from the matter or..."

Hearing Li Zairong's question, Li Jianxi curled his lips in disdain. "At this time, whether this guy will hold a press conference to clarify is not the key at all. The key is whether some people will seize this opportunity to make a big fuss!"

"Make a big fuss? What do you mean?" Li Jae-yong was confused by Li Jianxi's answer. In his opinion, shouldn't the normal operation be to issue a statement and distance themselves from the negative news? Could there be other tricks?
"Hmph! Don't you realize that someone deliberately released this kind of dirt at this time? As for the purpose, it's probably for those who are competing for the presidency. The one who has the best chance of winning is Li Huichang. Don't forget that this old fox came from the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. Does he really not know about this kind of dirt?"

Hearing what Li Jianxi said, Li Zairong couldn't help but take a breath. According to Li Jianxi's analysis, the water here is really too deep!
First, someone is plotting against those cunning politicians behind the scenes, and no one knows what they are planning. Secondly, these politicians are very likely to know about some dirty and filthy things. But they have not made any statement, and even have not done anything to eradicate all evil.

This means that there may be a lot of "tricks" involved. If the people knew about this, wouldn't they be in an uproar? ! It is said that some people are privileged, but everyone is half-hiding or even "stealing the bell while covering their ears". But if it is really exposed, I am afraid that not only will they lose face, but the people will also turn away!

……

Li Jianxi looked at his rather surprised son and sighed helplessly. Although Li Zairong has grown and improved significantly compared to before, his ideas have not yet completely changed. He still has a certain respect for those who hold great power.

If it were an ordinary person, then it would be understandable. But Li Zairong will inherit the Five Star Group in the future, so this kind of ideological awareness is far from enough!

If the Five Star Group were to "bow down" directly in front of the superiors in the Blue House, then the future of the Five Star Group would most likely follow in the footsteps of the Hyundai Group!
"... Zai Rong, have you played golf with your brother-in-law recently? Don't be busy with work all the time. It won't be a bad thing for you to hang out with your brother-in-law more often!" Li Jianxi changed the subject and reminded meaningfully.

"...Recently, there have been a lot of things going on in the company, and I have met Junfeng less often. I will make adjustments later..." Li Jae-rong nodded immediately. How could he not know what his father Li Jianxi meant?

I just hope that I can have more contact with Zhang Junfeng, learn some secret information outside the channels, discuss some important things with him, and see his views and analysis.

……

In the following one or two days, although the representative of SK Group solemnly issued a statement in front of media reporters, these videos and screenshots were purely malicious rumors and slander. If any bad media continued to spread malicious speculation, they would resort to law to sue these bad-intentioned guys.

This has frightened many media outlets! After all, they have offended the heads of the top five domestic companies, and the other party has threatened to "retaliate". Few people can bear it. Unless there is a big backer who can fully support them, they can get through it safely. Otherwise, they should stop as soon as possible to avoid being found by the other party!
What no one expected was that on the third day after the representative of SK Group issued a clarification statement, when many people thought that the media would no longer report on the matter and the matter was likely to come to nothing, an even more devastating video footage was released.

According to reports from several major domestic media outlets including SBS TV, the video of the rampant debauchery that took place in that private club not only featured SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won, but also several other Blue House executives, and even Shin Dong-byung, the president of the Joycheol Group, was involved.

This explosive scandal directly slapped the SK Group representative in the face. Previously, it could be said that it was a malicious rumor and smear campaign, but this time there were so many people in the footage, it couldn’t be that they were all fake, right? Even the professional video editors couldn’t see any problem!

……

Many people are watching the fun, looking forward to the next move of SK Group and Yuetian Group. But to their disappointment, the two large companies did not take any action for a while, as if Dalian came too fast before. If they make rash remarks and get slapped in the face again, the development of the matter and negative public opinion will probably become more and more intense!

Many people who did not receive positive responses are becoming increasingly dissatisfied. Many of them have not had a good life in recent years. In order to avoid being fired and earn more overtime pay, they are willing to work very hard, fearing that they will become the unlucky ones who are laid off.

Now seeing those unscrupulous wealthy tycoons and officials colluding together to shamelessly engage in "group sex" is simply adding fuel to the fire, and it's almost going to explode!
Faced with such public opinion, Li Huichang remained silent. Even when asked about his views and comments on the matter in public, he ignored it. On the other hand, Wu Xuan, whose support rate was far behind, was also asked about the matter. He publicly stated that those who violated the law would be severely punished in accordance with the law and would never be tolerated!
This "responsible" performance has made Wu Xuan's popularity among passers-by rise steadily. People who were originally on the sidelines or even pessimistic have gradually changed sides and turned to support this "righteous" candidate. In their view, perhaps after Mr. Wu Xuan takes office, he can bring them a bright future! (End of this chapter)
