The editor-in-chief looked at the manuscript in his hand and said:
"A guy like that actually went to DS? I don't understand. Is Park Jin Hyuk really that tolerant?"
"I heard that the condition for poaching him was to give him 5 billion yuan (about 26.5 million RMB) in one lump sum."
"Are you crazy?"
"And he'll be paid an annual salary of 1 billion yuan (about 5.3 million RMB) and appointed Director of Brand Promotion at DS Telecom, fully responsible for the company's image and brand promotion... Editor-in-Chief, have you ever heard of this before? Yesterday he was slamming a company, and today he's working there."
“Unheard of.”
There have been cases in the past where the judge gave a light sentence to a company during the trial, and the person went to work for this company after leaving office.
But I have never heard of a case like Nan Bingzan.
"No matter what, this kind of article must never be published again. If the vaccine development is true, our newspaper might have to close down."
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the editor-in-chief began to assign tasks to everyone.
"Immediately confirm whether the United States is going to develop and introduce the vaccine to your country? The five of you will take turns following the CDC personnel. The other five of you will take turns guarding the gate of DS Pharmaceuticals and monitor who comes in and out."
Then he stood up, clapped his hands and said:
"Everyone, hurry up and get moving! At the same time, inform other newspapers about the suspension of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Nan's articles to avoid causing even greater trouble."
"Yes, I understand."
After receiving the task, the reporters walked out of the meeting room one after another.
The next evening.
The reporters who were sent out returned to the newspaper office and looked at the photos spread out on the table.
"Is this Chairman Park Jin Hyuk?"
These photos were taken by reporters guarding in front of DS Pharmaceuticals. CDC officials who visited DS Pharmaceuticals yesterday visited DS Pharmaceuticals again this morning.
"That's right."
"Next to him is Deputy Editor-in-Chief Nan?"
“Now I’m the brand promotion director of DS Telecom.”
"This shameless guy!"
Because Nan Bingzan is his senior, the editor-in-chief usually respects him. After all, this person is capable.
"Can you be so servile just for money?"
Looking at the photos on the table, all the respect I had disappeared.
I saw Nam Byung Chan following behind Park Jin Hyuk, carrying his bag for him, like a secretary.
When entering the door, Nam Byung-chan ran to the front and opened the door for Park Jin-hyuk, completely disregarding his face.
Other reporters were also discussing:
"I used to admire him, thinking he wasn't afraid of the powerful..."
"For those billions... would you do something like this?"
If faced with the same temptation, these people would not necessarily perform better than Nam Byung-chan, but at this moment, for the sake of the journalists' self-esteem, they still despised this former senior from the bottom of their hearts.
"...Have you verified the purpose of the US CDC's visit to Korea?"
"We verified that they do hope DS Pharmaceuticals can go to the United States to conduct clinical trials."
“Is the EU also aiming for the same thing?”
"Not only the EU, but also Austria is inviting DS Pharmaceuticals to conduct clinical trials there."
"How does the government respond to this situation?"
"The attitude remains unchanged. Commander Zheng Qiying is still running around, but to no avail."
"The Prime Minister's Office still refuses to relent?"
"Yes."
"Investigate what the reason is."
The editor-in-chief picked up the photo on the table and said:
"Put these photos online so everyone can see them."
"Will this work?"
"For Qian Nanbingzan, he even lost his dignity. Let everyone see what kind of person he really is."
"If things go wrong, it might even affect the reputation of our newspaper."
"The outside world will know sooner or later. We might as well take the initiative to disclose it and draw a clear line between ourselves and him."
After saying that, the editor-in-chief threw the photo on the table.

In the office, Park Jin Hyuk took the tablet computer handed to him by Kim Jun Woo.
"It's a really nice photo."
“It was captured very well.”
“Professional photographers are different.”
Photos of Park Jin Hyuk and Nam Byung Chan were published on the website of Shilla Ilbo.
The report was about a meeting between the U.S. CDC and Park Jin Hyuk, but the photo published showed Nam Byung Chan looking servile in front of Park Jin Hyuk.
"Spread the inside information we have about Nan Bingzan to the Shilla Daily. I want to see how this drama ends."
"Chairman, are you going to get rid of him so soon?"
"I don't even want to pay a month's salary to someone like him."
As a condition for joining DS Communications, Park Jin Hyuk promised to give Nam Byung Chan 5 billion (about 26.5 million RMB) yuan.
Nan Bingzan was asked to choose whether to pay in installments or in one lump sum. If he chose to pay in one lump sum, he would have to wait for a while.
Nan Bingzan chose to pay in full at one time.
Although 5 billion is nothing to Park Jin Hyuk, he doesn't want to give even a penny to someone like Nam Byung Chan.
He had already arranged for Jin Junyu to secretly investigate Nan Bingchan and found many problems.
"I will submit the evidence of his conspiracy with Prime Minister Wang to the Silla Daily."
"Also, make public what his son did in the army."
"Then... this person will never be able to turn over again."
The fact that he conspired with Prime Minister Wang to frame DS Pharmaceuticals is enough to ruin Nam Byung-chan's reputation. If his son's affairs are made public, he and his son will never be able to gain a foothold in Korean society in the future.
"Director Jin, as a father, you bear a great deal of responsibility for your son's behavior. He bullied younger members of the military and even committed sexual violence. This is extremely egregious. Shouldn't such behavior be exposed?"
When Nan Bingzan's son was serving in the military, he was quite honest at first, but after being promoted to non-commissioned officer, he became domineering and bullied the younger generations in the army.
The military conducted several investigations, but they were all quelled by Nan Bingzan using his connections, so his son became even more unscrupulous.
"And it wasn't just one or two soldiers. He bullied the entire dormitory. He even got involved with his superiors?"
Park Jin Hyuk showed an expression of disbelief.
"I've heard that good relationships between superiors and subordinates in the military are beneficial to combat effectiveness, but they're not allowed to do that, right? Bullying and sexual violence against subordinates is a crime, and crimes should be punished. Those who abuse their power to oppress the weak should be permanently punished. Spread this information immediately."
Kim Jun-woo understood that Park Jin-hyuk was not going to give Nam Byung-chan any chance.
