The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

Being scolded so harshly, Cui Zhongshi also developed a bit of a rebellious mentality.

However, she didn't dare to show it too obviously, and only bit her lip, retorting tactfully, "But with your current position, Vice Minister, you could choose a better conglomerate to cooperate with. Although Ding Xin has some ability, in the end he's just an executive director..."

"madness!"

Li Shengmin scolded him with exasperation.

He hadn't expected that after saying so much, Cui Zhongshi would still act so "ignorant".

But there's nothing we can do; he's one of our own.

A moment of silence.

Li Shengmin then added another strong dose of venom: "Now, use your rigid mind to think carefully, is Ding Xin really an ordinary executive director?"

Haven't you seen any information about him?

How long did it take him to go from a penniless poor boy to where he is now?

Three years!

It only took three years!

Let's take a closer look at everything he owns now...

They control the Shin-eui Faction, a violent organization that ranks among the top three in all of South Korea!

It is also the only gang in South Korea that has successfully transformed itself and is the largest shareholder of the largest gang!

Now, it has even independently acquired the conglomerate Babel Group!

MAX Network Forum, a top-tier online media company that has just emerged in the market, is also his!

He also has intricate connections with companies such as Hyunsung Ilbo, Tianxia Group, South Korea News Daily, and QBS television station...

Such a "Executive Director"...

If you look across the entire South Korea, how many can you find?

Let's not talk about the executive director...

"Take a typical chaebol chairman, how many can compare to him?"

......

Chapter 540 Recognize the reality

"And this..."

And that's just his business in South Korea!

Don't forget...

His records show that for a period of time he frequently traveled between several neighboring countries!

Can you guarantee...?

Does he not have any other businesses in other countries?

And more importantly...

He's only 23 years old!

23 years old...

Do you know what this means?

It signifies limitless possibilities and unfathomable potential!

Think about it...

What were you doing when you were 23?

What else did he possess?

Compared to him, what are you?

Yes...

You are now a ministerial prosecutor in the Republic of Korea...

Whether they are tycoons, politicians, or elites from all walks of life, they will all give you some face, more or less.

But you don't really think that makes you amazing, do you?

Think of Yoon Byung-wook...

He served as a minister and prosecutor for so many years; can't you see his fate?

Or...

Do you think his fate was really as simple as the media reports?

Do you even have a brain?

What gives you the confidence to say something like, "Ding Xin is just an executive director"?

With your...

You still dare to look down on others?

What right do you have to look down on others?

In other words...

Do you think they'll necessarily respect you?

Li Shengmin sneered...

His words were like sharp knives, piercing straight into Cui Zhongshi's heart.

This will make it impossible for him to maintain that arrogant attitude.

This moment...

He was completely awakened by Li Shengmin's words!

He truly understood!

turn out to be...

From the beginning until now, he has misunderstood the potential relationship between himself and Ding Xin...

They thought they were the dominant party!

But in reality...

What is he anyway?

To know...

Everything he has now is a gift from others, directly or indirectly!

and...

My boss's criticism is absolutely right!

Compared to that young, yet brilliantly accomplished Executive Director Ding...

This is a mere prosecutor, a department head, who's already in his forties...

What gives them the audacity to be so proud? What right do they have to act like big shots in front of others?

Then...

Thinking back on my past behavior...

A look of shame and embarrassment involuntarily appeared on Cui Zhongshi's face.

He silently lowered his head, his expression changing from resentment to a slightly ashen look.

Amidst a whirlwind of thoughts, he murmured to himself, "I'm sorry, Deputy Minister, I've been so foolish. I haven't understood my place all this time, and I've let you down..."

What appears to be an apology is actually a wake-up call for himself!

"It's good that you understand!"

Li Shengmin's expression relaxed slightly as he observed the change in Cui Zhongshi.

I felt a deep sense of relief and also let out a long sigh of relief.

fine...

Finally, I've thoroughly woken up this arrogant confidant. All my hard work wasn't in vain!

Immediately afterwards...

Li Shengmin released his grip on his shoulder, then gently patted it, his tone softening slightly: "Zhongshi, don't think I'm being harsh, but as the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter, and I'm only doing this for your own good..."

"Yes, Deputy Minister, I understand!"

Cui Zhongshi nodded in agreement with lowered eyes.

Li Shengmin carefully observed his expression for a while, and only after finding that his face was still sincere and seemed to have no grudge did he smile and nod.

Then...
