Park Jin Hyuk walked out of the presidential palace and signaled Kim Jun Woo to drive the car over.
After getting in the car, Han Ji-yeon asked anxiously, "Is it okay to leave like this?"
Park Jin Hyuk looked at her. "Do you think I'm reckless?" Then he turned to Kim Jun Woo and said, "Director Kim, what did I tell you when I went in?"
Jin Junyu said as he slowly started the car: "When the president went in, he told me to be prepared, saying that he could come out at any time."
“So, you planned it?”
In response to Han Ji-yeon's question, Park Jin-hyuk looked at her and smiled without answering.
"So how are you going to clean up this mess?"
"I guess they wouldn't dare to do anything to me." Park Jin Hyuk said confidently.
"Are you so confident?"
"Believe me, this is not an impulsive act, but a long-term consideration."
Han Ji-yeon still looked worried, so Park Jin-hyuk asked, "Do you remember what they kept asking for?"
“Ask you to participate in photovoltaic projects in the United States?”
"Because Solar C has become a target of public criticism, they want DS to form a joint venture with Solar C, intending to resolve the crisis Solar C is facing this way. But I will never get involved in their messy waters, so they are too busy taking care of themselves to think of dealing with me."
Park Jin Hyuk is trying his best to comfort Han Ji Yeon.

The South Korean government and Sampoong Group began to continuously cheer and promote the US photovoltaic project.
[In the next five years, the government plans to invest 100 trillion yuan in the photovoltaic sector]
[Sanfeng Group announced that it will invest 200 trillion won in the photovoltaic sector by 2030, aiming to become the No.1 company in this field]
[The US photovoltaic project consortium, led by Sampoong Group, plans to invest 10 trillion won this year alone]
[In the second half of this year, the photovoltaic forum hosted by Sanfeng Group was the largest ever]
[The US Photovoltaic Project Consortium welcomes companies from all over the world to participate]
This photovoltaic trend has spread to all walks of life.
Bicycle manufacturers announced that they would develop bicycles powered by photovoltaic power; automobile companies claimed that they would install photovoltaic panels on the roofs of their cars to provide half of the vehicles' electricity; construction companies planned to install photovoltaic panels on the exterior walls of residential or office buildings to meet the electricity needs of the buildings; from mobile phones to homes and factories, photovoltaics became a hot concept in all walks of life.
In the DS chairman's office, Park Jin Hyuk, Hyun Yi Soo and Kim Sung In also discussed the recently popular photovoltaic concept.
Xuan Yizhu said, "Chairman, the photovoltaic concept is so popular now. Shouldn't we also do something? For example, integrate the photovoltaic concept into the hotel chain that is about to open overseas..."
“How can it be combined with the concept of photovoltaics?”
"For example, we can install photovoltaic panels on the hotel's roof to solve part of the hotel's electricity supply, and we will give maximum consideration to carbon emissions and environmental protection when decorating, purchasing furniture and electrical appliances."
What Xuan Yizhu didn't expect was that Park Zhenhe's reaction was: "Is this necessary?"
Xuan Yizhu hesitated and said, "...How about we conduct a trial in domestic hotels first, and then gradually promote it overseas."
"I object. The photovoltaic concept that's been hyped recently has nothing to do with DS and Qingyu." Park Jin Hyuk said clearly. He looked at Xuan Yizhu and Jin Chengren, "We don't need to follow the so-called photovoltaic concept."
"...Why?" Xuan Yizhu felt a little confused.
"Following the so-called photovoltaic concept will ultimately tie our hands... Think about it, South Korea is buzzing about the photovoltaic concept, but across the ocean, have the US taken any substantive action?"
Xuan Yizhu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"There's something wrong here... So, we don't need to get involved in this mess."
Knowing that Xuan Yizhu had listened, Park Zhenhe changed the subject: "How is the acquisition of Bolton Steel Company going?"
"It has passed the review of the state government and is currently under review by the federal government. After passing the review of the federal government, the merger and acquisition process can be initiated."
"Excellent! After the acquisition is completed, Qingyu Logistics will immediately follow up and take over all of Burton's logistics operations in the United States. DS Construction will also use Burton products for its steel bars and other building materials in North America."
"Yes." Kim Sung-in and Hyun Yi-soo both nodded.
"DS and Qingyu should seize this opportunity to penetrate the US market."
"President...we all have a concern, but we don't know whether we should speak it out or not?" Xuan Yizhu said cautiously.
"What is it? Please tell me."
Xuan Yizhu and Jin Chengren looked at each other and said, "I heard that you were invited to visit the Blue House not long ago?"
"Director Jin told you, right?"
"Yes... President, should we make some preparations? Otherwise, the government might make things difficult for us." Xuan Yizhu said uneasily.
Jin Chengren also said: "If the president wants to cause trouble for us, it will be very easy."
"Every time a new government comes to power, in order to establish its own authority, it usually targets one or two large companies to weaken their prestige and make an example of them. So we are a little worried that DS will..."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Park Jin Hyuk's tone was calm, yet extremely firm.
"President, don't be careless."
"Jung Ki-young just promoted Kim Jae-hoon to the position of Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office. Kim Jae-hoon used to have a good relationship with you, but now he has successfully risen to power by exposing and investigating you. The president is clearly trying to use him to suppress you."
A few days after Park Jin-hyuk left the Blue House, the president reappointed senior officials in the prosecution system, and Kim Jae-hoon was appointed as the chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
This position is just one step away from Attorney General.
As we all know, in the process of purging his two uncles, Kim Jae-hoon quickly narrowed the distance with Park Jin-hyuk.
However, in order to get promoted recently, he began to investigate and expose Park Jin Hyuk's alleged drug abuse and extramarital affairs, and eventually won the favor of Zheng Qiying and was appointed as the chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
"I also heard about Kim Jae-hoon's promotion," said Park Jin-hyuk.
Xuan Yizhu said, "He will definitely not give up. In order to become the Prosecutor General, I don't know what else he will do to harm you."
"Well, that's possible." Park Jin Hyuk nodded with a smile.
Jin Chengren said, "How about we do an internal self-examination first? Let's start with Qingyu and examine the process of how you acquired Qingyu's equity, as well as whether there are any irregularities in the internal transactions between subsidiaries."
"I agree. Not only should DS be on guard, but we should also be on guard against trouble coming to you through Qingyu." Xuan Yizhu also said.
Park Jin Hyuk waved his hand again, "I told you, they don't have the time to deal with me."
