Buzz~ The frequently vibrating phone interrupted Li Zhenyu's attack.
It also destroyed the heating up, ambiguous and intoxicating atmosphere at the scene, making the air awkward.
"I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."
"……good."
Watching her running towards the entrance as if escaping, Li Zhenyu picked up the phone on the table: "Hello."
"Aigu, who made our eldest son Li so angry? Is it because he has been holding it in for too long and hasn't been able to relieve it?"
"...Jeon Junxu?" He didn't think he was angry, even though his tone was full of gunpowder.
If it were anyone else, there would be no way they would be able to leave today.
But she is Kim Ji-yeon, and the relationship between them is... complicated, and no matter who takes the initiative, it will make the other feel embarrassed.
Atmosphere and timing are the best lubricants.
Today had already arrived, but it was completely ruined by this unexpected phone call.
"It's me, my friend. It's been a long time since we last met." Quan Junxu laughed wildly on the other end of the phone, as if he was a madman who had just been released from prison.
This guy is still the same as before.
Twenty minutes later, Quan Junxu, wearing a light blue uniform and carrying a crocodile leather briefcase, appeared in front of him.
"Are you a civil servant now?" Li Zhenyu couldn't help but tease him the first time he saw him.
"Isn't it obvious? It seems his recommendation is indeed correct." Quan Junxu spread his arms and looked at his clothes with satisfaction.
Li Zhenyu stopped, turned around and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Ahem." After coughing a few times, Jeon Jun-wook lowered his arms and smiled, "Formally introduce you to the South Korean national prosecutor, Jeon Jun-wook."
After bowing and looking up, Quan Junxu found that his shadow was no longer in front of him.
"Zhenyu, Zhenyu?"
Jeon Jun-wook dropped his briefcase, put aside his ambition to be a civil servant, and walked forward while shouting and acting coquettishly.
"Hey, you disappeared for five years. When you showed up, you didn't contact me first, but contacted Yingjun first. What's so good about that pervert?"
Li Zhenyu felt itchy all over when he heard the complaining of a nagging wife. Could it be that this guy has changed his personality? "It was just a coincidence that we met. Besides, you are also busy."
The judicial examination is not that easy to pass, and he must have been busy in the past five years! "It's okay, don't you know I'm a genius?" Quan Junxu said proudly.
"Genius?" Li Zhenyu raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to compare himself with him.
Jeon Jun-wook raised his hands in surrender and said with a wry smile: "I was wrong."
Quan Junxu still remembers his photographic memory vividly.
"Zhenyu, why did you leave in the first place... Was it really because you couldn't stand the constraints of the family?"
"..." How the hell should I know what's wrong with 'myself'.
What is certain is that this outcome did not happen overnight.
The tofu shop was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Hey, is it really a tofu shop?" Seeing his nostalgic look, Quan Junxu clapped his hands as if he could read his mind and said, "Our Zhenyu is actually a romantic, Aigu~"
Li Zhenyu looked calm, "It's all over."
"Yes, it's all in the past." Quan Junxu looked up at the room and said with emotion: "You are really different now. How did you do it?"
“It’s just about making some money, investing, and that’s it.” Li Zhenyu said lightly.
"..." This answer is exactly the same as when he was asked the question that year.
First this, then this, isn't it the same as this?
Jeon Jun-wook: ???
"I didn't ask, what's there to drink?"
"Look for it in the refrigerator over there."
After returning with two bottles of ice water, Quan Junxu said with a strange smile, "Sure, kid, who stayed here last night? It was a woman. Don't try to fool me."
He just saw the empty plate on the dining table and the lipstick marks on the cup next to it.
"I met him at the nightclub, but I forgot to ask his name."
"…Shit." Quan Junxu cursed bitterly, "Why, wei?"
Li Zhenyu looked calm, rubbed his chin and said, "Maybe it's because he's handsome!"
"Hey, you are so shameless." Quan Junxu was speechless.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Zhenyu asked him where he was going.
The Seoul District Prosecutors' Office is the best place among all the District Prosecutors' Offices. The only place better than it is the Central Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
"Do me a favor." Li Zhenyu snapped his fingers. He just happened to need help with something.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that he appears to be extremely calm and confident in front of Kim Ji-yeon.
In fact, the Ssangyong Automobile Union is not easy to deal with, and it is not easy to deal with them.
Li Zhenyu wanted him to investigate the corruption and bribery within the union.
"Why would you want to touch it? It's a tiger's butt."
"So what? Tigers are also locked in cages in zoos."
"You know what I mean...Jinyu, the person who was here before wasn't Kim Jiyeon, Jiyeonnu?"
Before coming here, Quan Junxu had heard a lot of rumors, but he didn't believe them at first.
But now, he felt that he could trust some of it appropriately.
"No... Tell me what you know."
Li Zhenyu changed the subject. He had just said that it was not Kim Ji-yeon. It seemed strange that he was going to overturn his own words and admit that it was her.
So, let’s change the subject and talk about business.
Please ask Quan Junxu to use the power of the Procuratorate to put pressure on the Ssangyong Automobile Union.
"Hey, why would I do that?"
"Remember to send me the results of the investigation. Would you like a drink?" Li Zhenyu picked up his coat and stood there looking at him.
Quan Junxu shook his hands, his eyes widened with doubt, clearly waiting for his answer.
"Oysters, I like oysters." Li Zhenyu.
"Why?" Quan Junxu was surprised.
"It is said that it can make men stronger." Li Zhenyu frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Don't you know?"
"Of course I know. How could I not know?"
Quan Junxu said seriously, hugging his shoulders and urging him: "I was just joking with you just now. Oysters, um... oysters are my favorite."
At the roadside stall, the two sat near the door. "Aji, order here."
"Clam soup, oysters, two bottles of sorghum wine, and a serving of spicy rice cakes...give us some more side dishes."
"Okay." Ajima went to prepare.
Soon, a large plate of oysters and side dishes was served, as well as some light side dishes and spicy radishes to relieve the greasiness.
"Let's have one first." When Li Zhenyu opened the bottle cap, Quan Junxu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of oyster and put it into his mouth.
After swallowing the chewed peony, Jeon Jun-wook seemed to have really become stronger.
From then on, oysters became a must-have dish in his diet.
"Come on!" Picking up their wine glasses, the two of them clinked their glasses happily.
“Ah~”
Smacking his lips, Li Zhenyu put a piece of radish into his mouth.
Quan Junxu was concentrating on the oysters in front of him. He wanted to eat more to become stronger.
"Zhenyu, this...can be stronger and last longer."
"Yes, it's what you think." Li Zhenyu nodded.
Before the empty shell in his left hand was put down, his empty right hand had already picked up another one.
"Slurp~" Quan Junxu sucked the slightly salty juice into his mouth and felt that this would be more effective.
After showing off 12 in one breath, Quan Junxu raised his hand and shouted, "Aji, one more."
Slowing down the pace, Quan Junxu talked about his student days, chattering like an old man.
Li Zhenyu listened with a faint smile, and the 'memory' in his mind seemed more and more real.
…
The Ritz-Carlton, Omaha.
Zhao Yingjun climbed up from the bed and held his forehead with his hand with a painful expression.
"Shit, ahhh... damn old fellows, do they have barrels of wine in their stomachs?"
Muttering something, Zhao Yingjun went to the bathroom to rinse his face and came out with a swollen and throbbing head.
It was his third day in Omaha, and the third time he woke up hungover.
Country clubs, strip clubs, old-school western beer bars.
Whether you are hunting, watching a show, or playing darts, you will always have a glass full of wine in your hand.
If he continued to drink like this, he suspected that the blood in his veins would be replaced by alcohol.
Fortunately, these efforts brought him trust and support, allowing him to achieve his goal.
"represent."
“Oh, here it comes.”
The team members next door came to join him and report the details to him.
If the contract is signed successfully today, they will need to transfer the money in the account.
In this case, Li Zhenyu's approval is needed, and he should call the president in advance for instructions.
"Call him and I'll talk to him." Zhao Yingjun stretched out his hand, closed his eyes and lay on the sofa.
He still needs some time to clear his mind completely.
His hand sank, and Zhao Yingjun put the phone to his ear, "Brother, the matter has been settled..."
"Just do it...Okay, don't forget about the rest of the trip. When you return to Seoul, we'll celebrate together."
Putting down the phone, Li Zhenyu pressed the intercom: "Secretary Xia, connect to Dennis."
Dennis was his personal advisor at Wells Fargo, and the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars in funds required his personal consent and written authorization.
“…Dennis, I will send you the authorization documents as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work.”
"It's my pleasure to serve you. Have a nice afternoon."
Standing in front of the light blue floor-to-ceiling window, Li Zhenyu looked at the traffic ahead and thought about the future.
With the position of Berkshire Hathaway shareholder, Li Zhenyu has an extra layer of insurance.
Overseas investment in the future will be smoother and will not be harassed by Washington due to one's identity.
He should also make some preparations for his trip to the United States. He will personally attend the meeting for Facebook's Series C financing, which values the company at $15 billion.
I’m going to meet the ‘Lizard Man’ face to face. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!
"President, the authorization letter has been sent." Xia Zhuxi pushed open the door, leaned in and reported in a low voice.
She saw that the president was in deep thought, but this matter was very important.
Thinking back to reality, Li Zhenyu turned around and smiled, "Thank you, Zhuxi, have you chosen a house?"
"Ah?" Xia Zhuxi's heartbeat quickened, and she said uncertainly, "Now? So soon? I'm not ready yet."
"Then you better hurry up. If you're any slower, I might regret it."
