Looking at Park Jin Hyuk's receding figure, Lin Dongxu said:
"Headmaster, this person is very difficult to deal with."
"It doesn't matter if he's easy to deal with or not, as long as I can successfully sell PJ Logistics to him."
"That being said, I still feel that..."

After Jiang Wenzhi's corruption was exposed, it caused an uproar in society and major media outlets reported on it.
[Which company benefited the most from Kang Moon-sik's corruption?]
Is Jiang Wenzhi's illegal acquisition of wealth related to the third phase of the New City project?
What are the connections between the five major construction companies and Kang Moon-sik's corruption?
As the report progressed, public opinion gradually shifted to Dongjing Industry.
Dongjing Industry has become the focus of Kang Moon-sik's corruption scandal.
[Most of the government projects implemented by Dongjing Industry are related to Kang Wenzhi]
[10 Years of Collusion between Kang Moon-sik and Dongjing Industry]
Public opinion was rampant, and the media and the public gradually fell into an emotional whirlpool.
Under these circumstances, the Seoul Prosecutor's Office announced that it has taken note of the issues pointed out by the media and is conducting an in-depth investigation into these issues.
The prosecutor's office's specious remarks only fueled the situation, and the public even believed that the main company involved in Jiang Wenzhi's corruption was Dongjing Industry.
Kim Jun-woo walked into the office and reported to Park Jin-hyuk: "Director, Chairman Lee Jong-moo called again."
"It seems that Minister Jin's investigation is working."
Park Jin Hyuk said as he signed the document brought by Kim Jun Woo.
After Park Jin Hyuk finished signing the documents, Jin Junyu asked cautiously, "This wasn't directed by you, was it?"
Park Jin Hyuk laughed, "Why is your tone exactly the same as my wife's? Did you two have the same master?"
Jin Junyu smiled embarrassedly.
"I just gave Kim Jae-hoon some tips... Don't worry about Chairman Li for now."
"The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Dongjing Industry."
"When you can't hold on any longer, they will come to you."
Another week passed, and Park Jin Hyuk's grandpa and aunt finally came to visit.
Seeing Lee Jong-woo and Lee Sun-myeong standing at the office door, Park Jin-hyuk said:
"Grandpa, Auntie, please come in. What are you doing here?"
It had only been two weeks since they last met, and both of them had noticeably lost weight.
"You two don't look well, what happened?"
After Li Shanming sat down, he glanced at Park Jin Hyuk and said, "Stop pretending to be innocent."
"That's right, what should I say?"
"What kind of attitude do you have towards your elders?"
"Excuse me, are you here to see me as an elder? Or as the president of Dongjing Industry?"
"Am I not your aunt?"
"Hahaha, I'd like to ask you, have you fulfilled your duties as an aunt?"
At this time, Li Zhongwu interrupted them: "What time is it now? Are you still in the mood to quarrel?"
Knowing that it was useless to argue with his aunt, Park Jin Hyuk said to Lee Jong Moo:
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Then I'll be frank. Tell the prosecutor's office to stop the investigation immediately."
"Okay, I won't be so secretive. As a normal business negotiation, shouldn't you also tell me your terms of exchange when you make your request?"
"Please stop the investigation first. I'm not begging you, I'm asking you."
"Haha, you're so interesting."
Li Zhongwu said stubbornly, "Stop the investigation first, then we can discuss what you want."
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."
"You'll get nothing then."
"That's fine, but have you ever thought about what will happen to Dongjing Industry if this continues?"
"Of course I have."
"If you have thought about it, how can you still say such things?" Park Jin Hyuk couldn't help laughing.
Park Jin Hyuk's expression caused Li Shanming to be extremely dissatisfied. "Do you still have any basic courtesy towards Grandpa?"
"I've already said this, this is a business negotiation between two companies. If you're so concerned about seniority, why are you two here?"
Li Zhongwu looked at Park Jin Hyuk and said, "You don't mind if you can't get Dongjing Industry?"
"Yes."
"Don't be insincere."
"I'm telling the truth. If there is, that's great. If not, I don't care."
Li Shanming said to Li Zhongwu, "Father, if that's the case, then what else is there to discuss? Let's go back."
Li Zhongwu ignored his daughter, but sighed and said:
"Dongjing Industry is the product of my life's work. I can't just watch it collapse. I'm willing to accept a certain degree of punishment. Please talk to the procuratorate and ask them to stop the investigation. Then I can consider handing the company over to you."
But Park Jin Hyuk shook his head and said, "No, the order should be that you hand over Dongjing Industry to me first, and then stop the investigation."
"What did you say?!" Li Shanming was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
Park Jin Hyuk just gave her a cold look.
Li Zhongwu asked, "Do you really have to do this?"
"It's election time now, and Jiang Wenzhi is the candidate of the XX Party. This matter won't go away easily. If Jiang Wenzhi falls, there will definitely be companies that will be held hostage with him, and Dongjing Industry will not be able to escape."
"We are not the only company involved with Jiang Wenzhi. Why should we be held hostage?" Li Shanming shouted.
Park Jin Hyuk sneered, "If all companies are dragged into this, how can the national economy withstand it? The end result will only be one or two companies being heavily fined."
It seems that it is not just a simple fine. Dongjing Industry will face more severe penalties, and the company may even be dismembered.
"Have you decided?" Li Zhongwu asked.
"You shouldn't ask me that. Ask the prosecutor's office. They're the ones conducting the investigation."
"That's what I'm going to ask you now."
Li Zhongwu looked at Park Jin Hyuk, and Park Jin Hyuk nodded silently.
"If I hand Dongjing Industry over to you, can I keep it?"
"I'm afraid the Dongjing Industry brand name may be lost, but I can promise to preserve the company's integrity and the employees it employs."
Li Zhongwu thought about it, then sighed, "Okay, I agree to give it to you."
Lee Jong-woo finally bowed to Park Jin-hyuk.
Li Shanming gnashed her teeth in hatred, but she was powerless to change her father's decision, but the hatred in her heart grew deeper.
Not long after, DS Group announced that Chairman Lee Jong-moo would exchange his 22% stake in Dongjing Industry for 7.3% stake in DS Co., Ltd. at a ratio of 3:1.
After the exchange was completed, Dongjing Industry became a subsidiary of DS Group. Then, Chairman Lee Jong-moo donated 7.3% of DS shares obtained from the exchange to Park Jin-hyuk, so that Park Jin-hyuk's DS shares held reached 30%.
