Han Ji-yeon saw that Park Jin-hyuk's hair was a little messy and said, "You should also take care of your hair." As she said that, she stepped forward to help Park Jin-hyuk comb his hair neatly.

Park Jin Hyuk said: "Today when we go to the Blue House as guests, it is not us who need to perform well, but them."

"What do you mean by that?"

Before Park Jin Hyuk could explain, Kim Jun Woo walked in and said, "Chairman, the car is ready."

Park Jin Hyuk replied to Han Ji Yeon: "You will know after you go there."

He took Han Ji-yeon and walked out of the office.

The car soon arrived at the Blue House.

After getting off the car, Park Jin Hyuk greeted the chief secretary and said, "Hello again."

"Yes, welcome."

The chief secretary bowed to Han Zhiyan and said, "Hello, Madam."

"Hello."

"I've heard recently that your influence in the social world is growing."

"No, no, thank you for the compliment." Han Ji-yeon said modestly.

Park Jin Hyuk said, "Are we not late?"

"No, the time is perfect."

"Has Vice President Li arrived yet? I just saw his car drive out."

"Yes, he arrived early today."

Li Xianyu always arrives on time for appointments, but unexpectedly he arrived early today.

"Please come in." The chief secretary led the way and walked into the Presidential Palace.

Arriving at the door of the banquet hall, the chief secretary pushed open the door and said, "DS Group Chairman Park Jin Hyuk and his wife have arrived."

Park Jin Hyuk walked into the banquet hall, bowed to Jung Kye-young and said, "Hello, Mr. President."

Han Ji-yeon bowed and greeted Zheng Qiying's wife.

Zheng Qiying immediately stood up and greeted him, "Welcome, welcome! It's only been two weeks, and we meet here again."

Zheng Qiying seemed extremely enthusiastic. He pulled Park Zhenhe to the long dining table.

"The guests are all here, please serve the food," Zheng Qiying said to the staff, and then said to Park Jin Hyuk, "Tonight's dinner is specially prepared for you and your wife. Chairman Park, DS must participate in the photovoltaic project in the United States."

"I've already told Vice Chairman Lee about the idea of DS's participation." Park Jin Hyuk glanced at Lee Seon Woo.

Unexpectedly, Park Jin Hyuk was so disrespectful. Zheng Qiying frowned and said, "It's better not to say it so absolutely."

Park Jin Hyuk clearly stated, "DS will not be involved in this project."

"Sampoong is facing great difficulties now, and so is the country." Zheng Qiying looked at Park Jin Hyuk.

"Can a company be sacrificed for the sake of the country? Aren't DS employees Korean citizens?"

Zheng Qiying was so angry that she stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Xianyu explained: "For C Photovoltaic Company, Sampoong may have to invest an additional 5 trillion won."

Sampoong spent 1 trillion won to acquire 50% of the shares of Company C, but now needs to invest another 5 trillion won to keep the company running.

After hearing this, Park Jin Hyuk said disapprovingly, "Sampoong Group is very powerful, so 5 trillion is nothing. Sampoong Electronics' investment this year has reached 20 trillion. In order to inherit Qingyu's shares, I personally paid 2 trillion in inheritance tax. So for Sampoong Group, 5 trillion is nothing."

Zheng Qiying continued, "The photovoltaic project in the United States is the first national policy project of this government. If there is any failure, it will have a very adverse impact. Therefore, I ask Chairman Park to help."

"I'm a business owner. What compensation can I get if I agree to participate?"

“Of course there will be corresponding compensation.”

As they were talking, the carefully prepared dishes were brought to the table one by one.

Zheng Qiying picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's eat and talk at the same time. My wife specially prepared today's meal to entertain Vice President Li and President Park."

The guests also raised their glasses and greeted each other.

Normally, the guests should express their gratitude to the hostess at this time, but everyone ate in silence and no one spoke.

Zheng Qiying continued, "We just talked about compensation. I'm afraid the government can't provide much, but I can promise that there will be no special tax audits targeting DS Group in the next five years."

Park Jin Hyuk glanced at Jung Ki Young and did not respond.

"Not only that, the country's new urban development projects, land reclamation projects, and other projects will all be given priority as long as DS is willing to participate. What do you think?"

Park Jin Hyuk thought for a moment, then asked Lee Sun Woo, "Vice Chairman Lee, has there been any change in the way DS participates in the photovoltaic project?"

Seeing that Park Jin Hyuk was interested, Zheng Qiying said without waiting for Li Xianyu to answer: "Sampoong can set up a joint venture with DS to operate this project."

"Who is the joint venture with? Is it Sanfeng or Company C?"

"We'll form a joint venture with Company C. Company C will provide the technology, and DS will be responsible for the funding and the various local relationships in the United States." Zheng Qiying then turned his gaze to Han Zhiyan. "DS and Sampoong are already family. If we can cooperate, it would be a good thing."

"Relationship?" Park Jin Hyuk smiled.

Zheng Qiying asked, "Aren't your mother-in-law and Vice President Li relatives?"

Li Xianyu echoed, "I have a very good relationship with Aunt Li Zhenshu. We often talk on the phone."

"So that's how it is..." Park Jin Hyuk said to himself.

Li Xianyu continued to say to Han Zhiyan: "From my aunt's perspective, the relationship between DS and Sampoong is indeed unusual."

The mention of Lee Jung-sook immediately triggered Han Ji-yeon's inner unhappiness. She said, "How can I put it? You and I only see each other a few times a year. I often see my sister-in-law at parties, but it seems that my sister-in-law has never spoken to me."

Park Jin Hyuk said with a smile, "I thought asking couples to attend together was a courtesy, but I didn't expect it to have a purpose. To be honest, my relationship with my mother-in-law isn't very good. We once had a huge fight over Qingyu's equity."

Park Jin Hyuk picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, which was a sign that he had finished eating, even though he didn't eat anything at all.

He placed his napkin on the table. "I want to emphasize one last time that DS will not participate in photovoltaic projects in the United States... I'm very sorry, but we're leaving now."

After saying that, Park Jin Hyuk stood up.

No one expected Park Jin Hyuk to have this trick. Even Han Ji Yeon was surprised, but before she could think about it, she was pulled up by Park Jin Hyuk.

Upon seeing this, the Secretary stepped forward and whispered, "President Park, please calm down. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to leave like this."

If he really left like this, not only would the president lose face, but the DS Group would also have a hard time in the future.

"I've been asked over and over again to participate in projects I don't want to participate in, so I have no choice. I'm very sorry."

After saying that, Park Jin Hyuk took his wife and walked out of the banquet hall.
