That was his favorite roadside stall, but today there was only one person in the stall.

"Why are you the only one here today?"

Shu Minxiu lifted the heavy door curtain and sat down beside him with a smile.

Whenever he came here, he would pretend to be an ordinary person and mingle with the diners inside.

"You're a rising star in Congress, and being with you always brings undue attention."

Shu Minxiu thought it was understandable when someone else said this.

However, if it were him, the matter would seem a little ridiculous, because outside, he was the one who received more attention than himself.

"You changed your necklace."

The first thing Shu Minxiu noticed was the thicker and more eye-catching gold chain around his neck.

"Yes, it's a gift from someone else. How is it?"

Li Zhenyu took out the necklace from his collar so that she could see it clearly as if to show off.

“It’s more striking and better looking than before.”

Most accessories are selective, and the same goes for large gold chains.

When worn around the skinny dog's neck, it looks like a funny chain, but when worn around his neck, it actually highlights his majesty and imposing manner.

It contains a hint of ferocity, giving people a sense of "not easy to mess with".

"Really? I look fierce."

Just as he finished speaking, the waiter brought the dishes over and put them on the table when Li Zhenyu glanced at him unintentionally.

The arm that was stretched forward froze in mid-air for a moment, and then slowly fell down with a mechanical sense of frustration.

After Li Zhenyu looked away, the younger brother quickly put down the dishes and fled away from him.

It was terrifying, those eyes were like those of a wild animal in the woods, bringing back distant memories of when he went hunting with his grandfather as a child.

It also reminded him of the horrible nightmare of how his grandfather died at the claws of a tiger.

“Puff~”

Shu Minxiu covered her mouth and laughed secretly. What happened before was undoubtedly the best proof.

There was no need for her to emphasize whether it was fierce or not.

"Aisi~"

Li Zhenyu picked up the wine glass and smiled helplessly: "Actually, I am really a good person."

It’s just that it has some edges to ensure that you won’t get hurt.

"Let's eat. Don't waste this fresh delicacy."

Picking up the chopsticks and starting to eat, Shu Minxiu took the initiative to ask: "You didn't call me here just to let me praise your new gift?"

"Of course not, I need your help with something."

"Please, have we become so estranged from each other that we need to use please?"

Shu Minxiu didn't want to keep any 'safe' distance from him. In fact, she wanted everyone to know that she was Li Zhenyu's woman.

Because the narrower the upward channel is, the greater the resistance will be and the more intense the competition will be.

Therefore, the options that can help him are extremely limited.

You must have enough power, money, social status, a large network of contacts and influence to gain respect and trust.

Being able to mobilize a large amount of resources from all walks of life will help her reach a higher position.

Shu Minxiu's ambitions are no longer something that a congressman can satisfy.

Now, she wanted more.

No one desires more support and trust from Quanzhou Li than she does.

"It's my fault, do me a favor... keep this woman by your side."

Li Zhenyu simply and straightforwardly explained the relationship between him and her, "She is the biological sister of a woman close to me, and has always been unappreciated in the Congress.

You know, since you're with me, you have to get something. I don't like to take advantage of others, and I don't like to take advantage of women."

After looking at the photos and information, these words sounded like just one sentence to Shu Minxiu: "I am very interested in her. Now, help me bait her!"

"Okay, I will transfer her to my office as a clerk. This position is exactly in line with her expertise."

Shu Minxiu smiled, closed the file, pushed it back to Li Zhenyu, and said, "I think she should be satisfied with this."

The clerk is a very important position because she has access to almost all the confidential information in the congressman's office, including the congressman's personal schedule and important contact list.

The supporters behind the scenes, the allies and enemies in parliament, all the bills and alternative bills being prepared, the directions and plans for offense and defense, etc.

Putting a strange woman who has never met in such an important position.

This was obviously not because she valued Kwon Ji-mi, or for some strange reason. There was only one reason that could make her do this.

loyalty!

She was expressing to Li Zhenyu her loyalty to him and the Quanzhou Li family.

This loyalty seems a bit blind, but it is this blind loyalty that those in power often want to see the most.

"What plans do all the councillors have for the near future?"

Seeing that he finally mentioned this, Shu Minxiu's eyes were secretly happy, and she whispered: "The congressman and other parties have reached an agreement to exchange the chief executive for the position of prosecutor."

"Um?"

Li Zhenyu looked at her in confusion. This was like throwing meat buns at a dog, it would never come back.

The appointment of the Attorney General depends entirely on the word of the Chief Executive.

Once the other party comes to power, he can replace the Attorney General with his own people at any time. Do all the members of the National Assembly still expect their colleagues like him to keep their promises?

Shu Minxiu naturally understood what confused him. She looked around habitually, raised her hand to his ear and leaned over to say, "In fact, the Chief Executive is his man."

How could such a cunning and evergreen politician make such a low-level mistake?

How many of the other party's own people have been planted in Congress, and how many secret agents have been placed in the other party's faction?

I'm afraid he is the only one who knows the answer.

If this is the case, it would be tantamount to catching the Chief Executive and the Procuratorate in one fell swoop and taking complete control of the procuratorial system in one's own hands.

The most terrifying thing is that outsiders don’t know this and think that the Chief Executive is in cahoots with them.

There was a lot of room for maneuver before the truth came out.

"Then, there will be no problem with Quan Junxu's promotion this time."

"Of course, if the deputy minister wasn't so eye-catching and he wasn't too young, he would be the most suitable person to be the third minister."

In Sook Min-soo's words, the position of vice minister, who stands at the pinnacle of power in South Korea's prosecutorial system, is like the fish balls and kimchi that anyone can take at a roadside stall.

"Our Councillor Shu is really different now."

Li Zhenyu raised his glass and laughed, "Come on, let's drink to our Councillor Shu's lofty ideals and future."

"Everything is for the rights of South Korean citizens. It is my personal honor to be able to devote my life to them."

Shu Minxiu nodded and bowed deliberately, like a comedian on stage, but her words were full of sincerity.

However, the strange smile on his face was a perfect irony to himself and reality.
