Chapter 426 Throwing Dirty Water on Myself



A secret nightclub welcomed two distinguished guests today.

Walking into the private room of the nightclub, Park Jin Hyuk saw Prosecutor Kim Jae Hoon already waiting for him inside.

"I wanted to arrive before you, but I didn't expect you to get there first," said Park Jin Hyuk.

Jin Zaixun stood up and greeted, "I heard you wanted to treat me to a drink, so I came here early."

He then said to the proprietress who had followed him in, "You can serve the wine now, and then arrange for the two young ladies."

"You can serve the wine, but not the lady," Park Jin Hyuk said quickly.

As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a check from it and handed it to the boss lady.

"I guess we won't be able to drink too much, but we'll pay you well."

The proprietress took the check with a puzzled look on her face. If you don't drink heavily and don't look for prostitutes, then what are you doing here?

Park Jin Hyuk seemed to see through the proprietress's thoughts and explained, "We just want to have a quiet chat." After that, he sat down next to Kim Jae Hoon.

Seeing this, the proprietress bowed tactfully and left the private room.

The waiter quickly brought up the wine, fruit plate and snacks.

As Park Jin Hyuk added ice cubes to his glass, he sighed, "It's been a long time since I've been to a place like this. Even though I've changed, some people still look at me the same way they did in the past."

"I believe that one day, people will understand you," Jin Zaixun comforted.

Park Jin Hyuk smiled and said, "I hope so too... But before people's mindsets completely change, I plan to take advantage of this idea."

"Oh? What do I need to do?"

Park Jin Hyuk smiled and took a sip of his wine. He didn't mention his request, but said, "You've been a ministerial prosecutor for quite some time now. It's time for you to be promoted to prosecutor general."

Jin Zaixun was stunned at first, and then he felt ecstatic.

"A new government is about to be established. Its first task will be to appoint key government officials. Are you interested in serving as Attorney General?"

"Is that possible?"

Among prosecutors, only a few can be promoted to prosecutor general, and such opportunities are extremely rare.

If you become the Attorney General, it means you will have the opportunity to become the Attorney General, the highest position for prosecutors.

If he could become the prosecutor, Kim Jae-hoon would feel that his life was enough.

"Of course it's possible, why not?" Park Jin Hyuk said.

Jin Zaixun immediately bowed his head and said, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Don't thank me yet, I haven't finished what I want to say yet." Park Jin Hyuk picked up the bottle of foreign wine and poured it into Kim Jae Hoon's glass. "I have something to ask of you."

"Please give me your instructions. I will never refuse, even if it means death."

Park Jin Hyuk laughed and said, "You can't say that. It will cause others to misunderstand. I run a business. How can I give instructions to government prosecutors?"

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of misunderstandings."

“No, now if someone asks me about your relationship with you, you should deny having any relationship with me.”

"Why?" Jin Zaixun asked puzzledly.

"If you get too close to me, it might be detrimental to your promotion."

"Don't you have a good relationship with the newly elected President Zheng Qiying?"

"I've become a burden to President Zheng Qiying, and many in the business community are wary of me. To avoid becoming a target of public criticism, I intend to appear more depressed."

"Well... is it necessary to do this?" Jin Zaixun said.

"Some things are currently encountering resistance, so I need to find a way to make people let down their guard and fear of me... I was previously rumored to have an affair with a certain actress. Please spread the word that the Procuratorate is investigating my relationship with that actress."

Jin Zaixun asked worriedly, "Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation?"

"It doesn't matter. Now it's necessary to throw dirty water on myself."

The news that the Procuratorate was investigating the private life of a certain chaebol quickly spread throughout society.

Recently, the procuratorate arrested several entertainers who held marijuana parties, including actors, singers, models and internet celebrities. The repeated reports in the media have attracted widespread attention from the outside world.

It was also reported that a certain chaebol provided the venue, service girls and hallucinogens for the party. Although no names were mentioned, the content of the news naturally made people think of Park Jin Hyuk of DS Group.

[The party was sponsored by a famous tycoon]

[The Prosecutor's Office has identified the chaebol behind the gathering]

[It is reported that the chaebol provided drugs for the party and has reached a lawless level.]

It is widely rumored that Park Jin Hyuk is the chaebol behind the marijuana party, and there are rumors about his complicated relationships with several women, saying that he has a mistress who is an actress.

Before Kim Jae-hoon took action, in order to avoid causing misunderstandings to Han Ji-yeon, Park Jin-hyuk explained the whole story to her in advance and gained her understanding.

That day, Park Jin Hyuk came home from get off work and talked with Han Ji Yeon about the rumors outside while having dinner.

Han Ji-yeon smiled bitterly and said, "Recently, when I went to parties, everyone looked at me strangely. Some people pretended to express sympathy, but in fact they were teasing and making fun of me."

"In that case, don't go to any parties anytime soon."

"It's okay. Attending this kind of gathering can increase DS's influence and also help you get a feel for the outside world's reactions."

"Thank you for your hard work." Park Jin Hyuk apologized.

Then, he changed the subject, "How's Rui En's marriage going? Hasn't Cheng Sheng replied yet?"

Since it is easier for women to communicate with each other, Park Jin Hyuk handed over the arrangements for Ryan's marriage to Han Ji Yeon.

Han Ji-yeon said, "Sung-seung replied today, hoping to set a date for the wedding as soon as possible. He said we can skip the engagement and go straight to the wedding."

"Haha, it seems my self-torture trick worked."

Han Ji-yeon nodded.

Park Jin Hyuk continued, "I think the water pipeline project in the United States will also make progress soon."

After rumors about Park Jin Hyuk spread, Sampoong Group simply excluded DS and Sung Seung Group from its US photovoltaic projects, to which both DS and Sung Seung Group acquiesced.

Today is the day when Qingyu holds a board meeting. Park Jin Hyuk appeared at the board meeting with his entourage.

Seeing Park Jin Hyuk and his men walk in, Li Zhenshu frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"Today's topic is related to me, how can I be absent?"

"Do you still have the time to spare now? The Prosecutor's Office might send someone to search DS headquarters any day now."

"Search DS headquarters? For what?" Park Jin Hyuk looked at Lee Jung Suk.
