Cui Zhengxiong said, "Are you so sure?"
Park Jin Hyuk nodded and said, "Yes, I am sure Brown will be elected."
"This is a matter that affects the future of the company. If we're not careful, we could lose everything."
"Please trust me."
Choi Jung-woong still felt a little uneasy, but at this time his heart had been infected by Park Jin-hyuk's confidence.

DS Group officially announced the news of Hyun Yi-soo's return.
Within DS, although no one opposed Hyun Yi-soo's return, everyone was surprised by his appointment as vice president.
The position of vice president is second only to the president and is extremely important. Park Jin Hyuk specially convened an emergency meeting of the presidents to explain the situation to everyone.
Before the meeting started, everyone came to Mao Dayong to inquire about the news.
"President Mao, do you have any inside information to share with everyone?"
"Did Vice President Hyun really work on Governor Brown's campaign team?"
"Is DS making a clear statement of support for Brown and abandoning Buchanan?"
"The situation of the US election is still unclear. Is it too early to express your position at this time?"
Just as they were discussing the matter, the person involved, Xuan Yizhu, walked into the meeting room and everyone's attention turned to him.
Xuan Yizhu greeted Mao Dayong first and said, "Long time no see, how are you?"
"Long time no see, you don't look well, have you been busy recently?"
"After all, this is a foreign country, and I'm not used to the food yet."
Xuan Yizhu said to Li Yongbin who was standing beside him, "Long time no see."
"Hello." Li Yongbin replied.
"I heard that DS Construction has been developing well recently. As an old employee who used to work there, I feel very gratified."
"You laid a good foundation."
After greeting his acquaintances, Hyun Yi-su said to everyone present, "Is my return a little surprising? Please wait a moment. The president will explain everything to you later."
Before he finished speaking, Kim Jun-woo walked in with Park Jin-hyuk.
Park Jin Hyuk came to the chairman's seat and said, "Everyone, please sit down."
After taking his seat, he looked at Xuan Yizhu who was sitting on his left, "This seat has been vacant for a while, and now the owner is finally back."
He then said to everyone, "The Human Resources Department has already issued the appointment notice for Vice President Xuan. The purpose of today's meeting is to explain the situation to everyone. Vice President Xuan has established contact with Presidential candidate Mr. Brown's campaign team in the United States and has had in-depth discussions with them. Therefore, through him, DS will be able to establish a good cooperative relationship with the US side and promote the smooth development of the US project."
After a pause, Park Jin Hyuk continued, "I'm well aware that establishing connections between companies and politicians is a double-edged sword. If DS wants to continue to grow and develop, it must move beyond the limited Korean market and expand globally. I set my sights on North America, the world's largest consumer market, and encountered a very good opportunity: to enter the US market through US municipal engineering projects."
Everyone in the conference room had to admit that what Park Jin Hyuk said made sense.
"This municipal engineering project was promoted by candidate Brown, and Vice President Xuan happened to have experience working with Brown's campaign team, which was one of the main reasons why I appointed him as vice president."
He continued, "From now on, Vice President Xuan will be responsible for managing all of DS Group's business, both domestically and overseas. All reports given to me will need to be reviewed by him first."
After hearing this decision, Xuan Yizhu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Park Zhenhe's gaze. "Unless I ask you to, don't report directly to me in the future."
Xuan Yizhu said: "President, this..."
Park Jin Hyuk interrupted him and said, "I will be responsible for grasping the overall development direction of the company. Under the determined direction, you can give full play to your potential."
Everyone then understood that in the future Park Jin Hyuk planned to gradually withdraw from daily management work and leave it all to Hyun Yi Soo.
Xuan Yizhu truly became the second-in-command of DS Group.
"Future presidents' meetings will gradually be chaired by Vice President Xuan."
Then, Park Jin Hyuk assigned Hyun Yi Soo the first task, which was to lead the relevant companies to develop a detailed plan for entering the US market.
Then he ended the meeting and walked out of the conference room.
In the past, when Park Jin Hyuk left the meeting room, everyone would relax, but this time after the chairman left, everyone remained sitting where they were, with no one talking or moving around.
After Xuan Yizhu left, everyone started discussing:
"What the hell is going on?"
"Has the president decided that Vice President Xuan will be his successor? That shouldn't be the case."
At the other end of the conference room, several people were chatting:
"I thought Vice President Xuan's return was to strengthen relations with the US, but it seems it's not that simple."
"It's really hard to understand."
"You've heard that Vice President Xuan is very strict with his subordinates."
"He's an expert at restructuring organizations, good at uncovering and identifying problems. We're going to have a hard time in the future."
"Hey, isn't he just a worker like us? He wouldn't be so heartless."
"Who knows?"
Everyone has started to think about how to adapt to the new management model.

On his way home from get off work, Park Jin Hyuk received interview requests from the media.
All the media wanted to know what his announcement at the DS presidents' meeting meant.
Jin Junyu's phone kept ringing, all calls were from the media.
"I didn't expect it to have such a big response," Park Jin Hyuk said with a smile.
"Some media outlets have speculated that you might be planning to step back."
"I've only been the president for a short time, and I'm already relegated to the back seat..."
Everyone is well aware that if the current chairman retires, it will have a huge impact on the company's development.
Park Jin Hyuk said, "Don't you find it strange that people are saying I'm stepping down so soon? I'm afraid someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes."
"Do you want me to start investigating?"
"Well, let's investigate who is behind this."
Jin Junyu pondered and asked, "Who could it be?"
"In the current situation, the most suspicious person is Governor Brown's rival."
Before Jin Junyu could ask more questions, the car had already arrived at the residence in Pyeongcang-dong.
As soon as Park Jin Hyuk got out of the car, the butler came forward and said, "President, there are guests waiting for you in the mansion."
"oh?"
Park Jin Hyuk turned around and looked at Kim Jun Woo, who quickly replied, "I haven't received any calls to visit you."
Park Jin Hyuk thought for a moment and said, "I know who it is."
As he said this, he walked into the mansion.
