There are many cars parked around the art museum.
Some people from the entertainment industry also came to the scene and were being photographed and interviewed by reporters, as if it were a film festival awards ceremony.
At the same time, people from the financial and political circles walked into the auction venue in groups of three or four, chatting with each other.
Looking at this lively scene, Park Jin Hyuk said to Kim Jun Woo:
"Why is it so lively?"
"Because of the Paris flu some time ago, we haven't held this kind of event for a long time. Plus, this is a charity auction, and with your appearance, it has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life."
"Because of me? I'm afraid it's not that simple."
With that, Park Jin Hyuk got out of the car.
Seeing today's protagonist appear, everyone's attention turned to Park Jin Hyuk.
"Welcome, welcome."
Wu Ruiying came up to him with a smile on her face.
"There are many guests here today. I believe the auction will be a complete success."
Park Jin Hyuk looked around and said:
"It's a good thing that everyone is willing to come and show their support... I see you've invited quite a few people from the entertainment industry, you really put a lot of thought into it."
"Of course I should. When the president heard that you were going to hold a charity auction, he expressed his strong support and told me to make sure the auction was a success."
"Oh? Does the president know about this too?"
"Such a big thing, of course we have to let the president know."
"So that's how it is."
Park Jin Hyuk nodded and walked into the venue.
Inside the auction venue, simple refreshments were placed on round tables, and guests sat around the tables.
Park Jin Hyuk did not sit down immediately, but stood at the back.
"Chairman, everyone is looking at you. Your expression is a little too serious."
In response to Kim Jun-woo's reminder, Park Jin-hyuk answered irrelevantly:
"...they said it was the president who arranged this."
"What did you say?"
"This is the president's idea."
As they were talking, guests came into the venue one after another, and the number of them exceeded Park Jin Hyuk's imagination.
"Because this is your first public appearance, the president probably arranged it this way."
"I don't think so. I wonder what Director Wu said to the president?"
"Is it after listening to Director Wu's report that the president requested such a grand auction?"
"How is it possible that so many people would come just because of me?"
At this time, someone walked towards Park Jin Hyuk, and Park Jin Hyuk shook hands with the other person and greeted him.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Chairman Park seems a little different from the last time I saw him."
"No, no, you look younger."
The other party is the chairman of Zhengjin Group, which is a group ranked after DS.
The president said to his sons who were with him:
"Hello, this is Park Jin Hyuk, the chairman of DS. We'll be dealing with him often in the future."
The two sons look to be in their 40s and are older than Park Jin Hyuk.
When they shook hands and greeted Park Jin Hyuk, their expressions showed a mixture of embarrassment and envy.
After the chairman of Jungjin Group left, Park Jin Hyuk glanced at the meeting room and said to himself:
"The chairman of Zhengjin Group is here, and over there are the chairmen of Samsung and Chenghui Foods... Is it necessary for the chairman or president of a group to come in person for an auction like this?"
Park Jin Hyuk had met many of the guests present at gatherings of the Federation of Korean Industries or the Federation of Korean Industries.
Suddenly, he found a few unfamiliar people, and the values displayed above their heads were very high.
"What are the identities of those people over there?"
Park Jin Hyuk turned and asked Kim Jun Woo.
"He's from the political world, probably the recently appointed Minister of Justice."
"Um?"
Government officials are also ranked according to their rank, with the Minister of Justice being the highest ranked.
"Why would the Minister of Justice attend this kind of auction?"
"Standing next to him is Kang Moon-sik."
This time, Park Jin Hyuk noticed Kang Moon Shik, a short and fat man.
It is said that after people are over 40, all the vicissitudes of life they have experienced will be reflected on their faces.
From his facial features, we can see that this man is full of ambition and is not a kind person. It seems that there is a reason why he has such a son.
At this moment, Park Jin Hyuk suddenly saw an acquaintance.
The other party also saw him at the same time and immediately stood up and walked towards him.
"Chairman Park, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see."
"I've wanted to thank you in person, but I've never found the chance... I'll take this opportunity today."
Zheng Qiying, the head of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, walked over quickly and said to Park Jin Hyuk.
"Are you all right?"
"Thanks to your help, everything went smoothly, hahaha."
During the Paris flu epidemic, Zheng Qiying persuaded DS Pharmaceutical to ensure the supply of Bidaphil, for which he received widespread praise from the public.
Even if he steps down as Minister of Health and Welfare in the future, he will still be able to hold important positions in his party.
All of this was carefully arranged by Park Jin Hyuk, who intended to attribute all the credit to Minister Zheng.
Park Jin-hyuk is well aware that politicians care more about their reputation than business operators.
Zheng Qiying also remembered Park Jin Hyuk's strong support.
Zheng Qiying said to the person walking behind him:
"This is Park Jin Hyuk, Chairman of DS Telecom. Come over and have a chat."
Park Jin Hyuk first extended his hand to Justice Minister Kim Tae Gil who was walking over.
"Hello, I'm Park Jin Hyuk."
Kim Tae-gil held Park Jin-hyuk's hand.
"I've often heard Commander Zheng mention you. I've heard of your great name for so long, and today I finally have the chance to meet you."
"The Minister of Justice wants to see me. That's a bit scary, haha."
"Haha, ever since I took office at the Ministry of Justice, my friends have all been saying this. It's true."
Although it was the first time they met, Park Jin Hyuk was not shy at all, which made Kim Tae Gil feel good about him.
He also knew that making friends with Park Jin-hyuk would only benefit his political career, not harm it.
"I heard from Councillor Jiang that you're going to hold a charity auction. That's a good thing, so I came here. I hope we can keep in touch and see each other often in the future."
"That's great. I should be the one saying this. I hope we can meet more often even when we have nothing to do, instead of just contacting each other."
"That's what I mean."
Park Jin Hyuk and Kim Tae Gil chatted with each other, as if they had become good friends.
As he spoke, Park Jin Hyuk turned his gaze to Kang Moon Shik who was standing next to Kim Tae Gil.
He noticed the number that flashed above the other person's head.
[3 billion (about 16 million RMB)]
Compared with Zheng Qiying's 70 billion and Kim Tae-gil's 20 billion, this figure is much smaller.
For ordinary people, this number may be acceptable, but for someone of his status, it is too low.
