Park Jin Hyuk asked, "Do you really have to tell me the reason?"
"Of course," Brown replied.
"I'll support you. It will benefit both of us."
Governor Brown nodded.
"I bought you 10 minutes of your time for $700,000. To cut a long story short, Vice President Buchanan made a request to me. Did you hear about it?"
“…I heard about it.”
"He asked me to reinvest the money I earned in the United States back in the United States. Do you have any good projects?"
Governor Brown asked, "Haven't you already decided to invest in solar energy projects? Lately, Buchanan has been promoting his green energy policies and upcoming solar projects. Is there any chance of that changing?"
"Whether there will be any changes depends on your decision."
"You mean, you're willing to invest in the project I'm promoting?"
Park Jin Hyuk nodded and said, "Yes."
"The project I want to promote is not easy and requires a huge investment, so I'm considering implementing it only if I'm elected president..."
"Tell me about it, we can figure it out together."
"A recent survey of tap water in 35 cities in the United States found lead in 31 of them, and the levels exceeded the permitted levels. Lead is a carcinogen."
Park Jin Hyuk roughly understood what he was going to do.
"I believe there's nothing wrong with the tap water when it leaves the factory. The problem lies in the delivery process, right?"
"Yes, until the 1940s, American water pipes contained lead. In the 1970s, the government banned the use of lead in the manufacture of water pipes. However, before 1988, lead solder was used to weld pipes, which polluted the water."
“Are the water pipes laid in the 1940s still in use?”
Governor Brown nodded.
After a moment's thought, Park Jin Hyuk said, "If we want to replace all the water pipes, I'm afraid the funds required will be an astronomical figure."
Brown saw that Park Jin Hyuk understood the difficulty of this project and said, "So I'm not sure when this project can be implemented."
Unexpectedly, Park Jin Hyuk nodded and said, "I am willing to support you in implementing this project. If you are willing to cooperate with me, please contact me. Time is up, I will take my leave first."
Park Jin Hyuk bowed slightly and walked out of the lounge.

After returning from the United States, Park Jin Hyuk returned to the mansion and came to Park Ruien's room.
This was the first time Park Jin Hyuk had come to see her since his parents moved out. Park Rui En said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"What? Can't I come here?" Park Jin Hyuk didn't look angry.
Park Ruien frowned. "First, you forced me to break off the engagement, and then you kicked Mom and Dad out of the house. Have you forgotten all this?"
"How could I force you to break off the engagement? I only made a suggestion. It was your own decision. As for your parents... they went to the countryside to recuperate because of poor health. How can you say that I drove them away?"
Park Ruien stood up angrily, "It's just a suggestion, do you have any other choice? I have no choice but to agree."
"If you don't agree, no one can force you."
Park Ruien glared at Park Zhenhe and sat back on the sofa.
Park Jin Hyuk said, "I'm not here to argue with you today."
At this time, Han Zhiyan walked in, "Ryan, how have you been recently?"
"What's wrong with you two today? Why are you both here pretending to be so hypocritical?"
"Your brother has something to tell you." Han Ji-yeon said.
Park Seo-eun turned and looked at Park Jin-hyuk.
Park Jin Hyuk said unhappily, "I hope you can move away from here."
After hearing this, Park Ruien stood up again. Han Zhiyan patted Park Zhenhe in a complaining manner and said, "Your brother didn't make his words clear. He didn't mean that."
"What does that mean?" Park Ruien shouted with a red face.
"Do you want to get married?" Park Jin Hyuk asked.
"What? Do you need Kang Moon-sik again?" Park Ruien said contemptuously.
"Let's not talk about the man who went to jail anymore."
"Who do you want me to marry?"
"Son of Sungseung Group, are you interested?" Park Jin Hyuk asked.
"Chengsheng Group? ...From what I know, the son of that family is already married."
"His second son is divorced."
Park Ruien frowned and did not express her opinion immediately.
In her opinion, Sungseung Group is stronger than the son of Congressman Kang Moon-sik. If she becomes a politician's daughter-in-law, she will need to pay attention to her image at all times, but if she marries into a chaebol family, it will be much better and she can continue to live her current life.
Park Jin Hyuk said, "I'd like to ask for your opinion first. Would you be willing?"
"That person is not young anymore, he must have children, right?" Park Ruien was no longer as resistant as before.
"We do have a child, so I wanted to hear your opinion first. If you don't agree, forget it. As for the 10-year age difference, it's not a big deal. Aren't our parents more than 10 years apart? If you marry the second son of the Chengsheng family, you will be the mistress of the Chengsheng Group. I hope you will consider it carefully."
After saying that, Park Jin Hyuk turned and left.
Han Ji-yeon said to Park Ruien: "Ruien, if you are willing, you can go meet the other person and decide if you like him/her...you should think about it again."
Then, Han Ji-yeon also stood up and walked out of Park Ruien's room.
After coming down from the second floor, Han Ji-yeon came to Park Jin-hyuk's study.
Park Jin Hyuk was on the phone: "Okay, then the day after tomorrow. It would be great if I could meet your second son by the way. Okay, got it. See you then." Park Jin Hyuk hung up the phone.
Han Ji-yeon said to him, "I've said everything I need to say. Ryan seems to be a little moved."
"I believe she will agree. Marrying Chengsheng Group will be good for both her and DS."
