Park Jin Hyuk smiled and said, "I would be very grateful if you could cooperate."
"How do you thank me?"
Park Jin Hyuk looked up at the number above Shin Sang Hoon's head. Before coming here, he had prepared two plans, and which one to use would depend on Shin Sang Hoon's value.
When he discovered that Shin Sang-hoon's value was comparable to Jung Ki-young's, he decisively implemented the second plan.
Park Jin Hyuk picked up his wine glass, took a big sip, and said, "I am willing to cooperate with your party, but the time will have to wait until the next general election."
"The next election?"
“Why can’t you support us this time?”
"Because I'm not one to sit on two legs."
"Isn't that what all the big chaebols do?"
"If I were like them, would you still be willing to cooperate with me?"
In the general election, most chaebols adopt the approach of not offending anyone and giving certain support to both sides, so that no matter who is elected, they can benefit.
However, while doing so can avoid a situation where nothing is gained, it will not achieve the best results. However, no one who is elected will regard such chaebols as their own.
Park Jin Hyuk said: "The trend is already quite clear. This time, Jung Kye-young's party will win the election, so it is impossible for me to change my position at this time."
"I understand... but if the XX Party you support continues to govern, you and them will only grow closer. Why should I believe that you will support me in the next election?"
Park Jin Hyuk wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "It seems you don't know me well enough. I'm willing to pledge my reputation. Also, I'm a long-term thinker. I have my reasons for supporting you next time, but I can't say it out loud."
According to Shin Sang-hoon, Park Jin-hyuk does not seem like the kind of person who talks nonsense. He clearly stated that he only supports one side at a time, which makes it more believable.
Thinking of this, Shin Sang-hoon laughed and said, "It's said that you have a unique vision, and it seems that it is indeed true... Well, I will do as you wish during the national government inspection, and I also hope that you can abide by the agreement during the next general election."
After saying that, the two of them held hands together.
After Park Jin Hyuk released his hand, he casually added, "When you criticize me, I suggest you mention another company, like Sampoong."
"Sanfeng?"
"If we only criticize DS, it would seem too self-serving. If we bring Mitutoyo into the mix, it would seem more credible. What do you think?"
Shin Sang-hoon nodded: "Yeah...that's right."
Park Jin Hyuk felt very satisfied. He said the most crucial sentence today and got the other party's approval.

After meeting Shin Sang-hoon, Park Jin-hyuk went straight back to his residence.
"Why did you get off work on time today?" Han Ji-yeon seemed very happy.
"I went to meet the presidential candidate of the opposition party in the afternoon and then came back." Park Jin Hyuk took off his coat and handed it to Han Ji Yeon.
"Is it Shin Sang-hoon? Are you going to support his election?" Han Ji-yeon looked surprised.
"No, if nothing unexpected happens this time, Zheng Qiying should be elected. If he is not elected, I will not be able to recoup my investment. As for Shin Sangxun, that will be a matter for the next term."
Park Jin Hyuk sat on the sofa slightly drunk, and Han Ji Yeon asked the servant to bring a glass of honey water.
"Have a glass of honey water." She handed the honey water to Park Jin Hyuk.
"It feels nice to have someone take care of me after a drink." Park Jin Hyuk sighed, then drank all the honey water in one breath.
In his previous life, he would come home drunk after socializing outside. Sometimes he would not even bother to take off his clothes and would fall asleep on the bed. Then he would have to get up and go to work the next morning.
It’s different now. When he gets home, his wife will take the clothes he takes off and bring him honey water.
Han Ji-yeon then asked, "This election hasn't even ended yet, and you're already preparing for the next one?"
"We have to plan ahead. I have a feeling that after Zheng Qiying is elected, he and I will part ways."
"Why? Don't you have a good relationship?"
"It's precisely because everyone knows we have a good relationship that problems arise."
"Is he trying to avoid suspicion?" Han Ji-yeon felt a little puzzled.
"That's one reason, but the more important thing is that I helped him so much."
Han Ji-yeon couldn't understand this even more.
Park Jin Hyuk went on to explain, "If you want to have a falling out with a friend, there are usually two ways: one is to hurt them severely, and the other is to do them a great favor."
"Wouldn't the other party think of repaying the favor?"
"At first he definitely wanted to repay the favor, but if the favor was so great that he simply couldn't repay it, he would gradually feel unable to do so. At this point, the favor became a burden to him, which led to him and me parting ways."
"Oh..." Han Ji-yeon fell into deep thought.
In fact, this situation is not uncommon. Only a balanced relationship with give and take can last. If one party gives too much and the other party is in an absolutely accepting position, then the balance is broken and the relationship is doomed to not last long.
"It would be fine if we just became strangers, but I hope he won't do anything to let me down, so I have to be prepared."

The focus of national supervision is the influenza epidemic.
The increase in bank bad debts and the rise in loan interest rates are due to the epidemic, the rise in prices is due to the epidemic, and the bankruptcy of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises is also due to the epidemic. All of this is due to the epidemic.
Against this backdrop, Park Jin-hyuk faces the spotlight of national political scrutiny.
But just one day before the scheduled national inspection, news came that the inspection was postponed.
When Park Jin Hyuk heard the news, he was on his way to DS Electronics. He asked Kim Jun Woo, "Postponed? Aren't they afraid that I'll find an excuse not to participate?"
"Everyone is paying attention to national government supervision, and I guess they can't keep up."
After the news of Park Jin Hyuk's decision to accept national political supervision came out, many media reported it and the TV station also decided to broadcast it live.
Even some foreign media and foreign envoys proposed to attend this national political inspection.
Therefore, the members of Congress believed that it was necessary to make more thorough preparations to avoid any mistakes in front of the public, so they decided to postpone the national government inspection for one week.
"The location for the National Audit Office has also changed," said Kim Jun-woo.
"Where did it change?"
“It was changed to the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention.”
Zheng Qiying informed Park Zhenhe of the preparations for the national policy inspection at any time, and asked him to rest assured that he would definitely be taken care of.
"Vice President, is it necessary for you to go to DS Electronics today? Can't you wait until the national inspection is over?"
"I intend to resolve this issue before the national government inspection."
