She was a little curious, "Didn't the president get enough rest yesterday?"

Song Yi glanced at Chen Xinyu and said, "I went to the procuratorate yesterday to help take statements. I got home late, so I didn't sleep well." Song Yi was too embarrassed to tell Chen Xinyu that he and her sisters had a great time last night, so he still had some back pain.

Chen Xinyu obviously knew a little bit about the inside story. She had a better impression of Song Yi who was willing to stand up for Li Enzhu, and took the initiative to say, "Then I'll go buy breakfast for the president. Or steamed dumplings with iced soy milk?"

Song Yi really didn't want to move, "Thank you Xinyu. I'll just lie down here for a while."

Song Yi, who was as sleepy as a dog, had not fallen asleep for a while when he was gently woken up by someone. Before he could get angry, he saw Jiang Xiu Na with a beautiful smile.

Song Yi forced himself to cheer up, "Xiuna, are you back to work? Is your wedding leave over?"

Jiang Xiu Na was obviously in good spirits. "I still have two days of wedding leave, but I heard that the company has a lot of things to do these two days, so I want to come back early to help."

Jiang Xiu Na wore a patterned camisole with a yellow skirt today, and her hair was tied into a ponytail, giving her a relaxed feeling as if she had just returned from vacation.

"Where did you go on your honeymoon?" Song Yi tried to find a topic.

"Mainly, I went to Northern Europe, including Iceland, Denmark, and Norway. I also saw the northern lights that I had dreamed of for a long time in the Svalbard Islands." Jiang Xiu Na was full of happiness.

At this time, Chen Xinyu came over with breakfast. When Chen Xinyu saw Jiang Xiuna, she was slightly stunned. "Good morning, Secretary Jiang, have you had breakfast?"

When Jiang Xiuna found Chen Xinyu sitting at Song Yi's table, she realized that Chen Xinyu bought breakfast for Song Yi. Jiang Xiuna couldn't help but wonder, when did Song Yi and Chen Xinyu become so familiar with each other? "I've already eaten, President. I'll go upstairs first. See you later." Jiang Xiuna was very considerate and left Song Yi and Chen Xinyu alone.

Chen Xinyu asked Song Yi in a low voice, their heads almost touching, "President, I heard that the wealthy people that Li Enzhu entertained include Jin Gehao and his son from Lotte. Is that true?"

Song Yi was speechless. He didn't expect the Samsung princess to be so gossipy. Why don't you ask your sister about this? "This has not been confirmed yet." Song Yi said.

Chen Xinyu looked thankful. "An elder introduced me to the eldest grandson of the third generation of Lotte before. Fortunately, I didn't agree. Shin Kyuk-ho is a wicked man. How many of his grandchildren can be successful? Moreover, Chairman Shin Kyuk-ho has been in Korea for so long that he can't even speak Korean. Marrying into such a family is really unlucky, right?"

Song Yi thought Chen Xinyu, who had a clear distinction between love and hate, was quite cute, although a little childish. "Xinyu, why did you want to intern at Xinya Network?"

Chen Xinyu took a sip of milk, then looked up at Song Yi. She made up her mind, "Actually, I wanted to come to Xinya Network for an internship because I couldn't register for an inschool account. Who knew that not long after I joined Xinya Network, inschool completely lifted the restrictions on inschool registration, and any Korean user over 19 years old can register."

Chen Xinyu was a little indignant. Didn't it mean that Xinya Network's rules were only aimed at her?

Song Yi coughed. The reason why Xinya Network restricted Ewha Womans University juniors and seniors from registering inschool was to restrict Chen Xinyu from registering inschool. After all, Chen Xinyu had previously registered a CYworld account and posted her daily life as a rich princess on it, which made Chen Jianxi very dissatisfied. Now that inschool's Korean users have officially exceeded 20 million, and the registration restrictions for adult users have been fully lifted, there is no need to restrict Chen Xinyu alone.

"Xinyu, I find that you are very talented in game production and have the hope of becoming a top game producer in Korea. I will let you participate in the entire process from game development to operation. The game production department of Xinya Network will be independent sooner or later. My goal is to make Xinya Games the largest online game company in Korea. If you work hard in the company, I believe your future achievements will definitely not be lower than that of New World Group's Chairman Chen Mingxi and your elder sister." Song Yi hurriedly painted a rosy picture for Chen Xinyu.

Chen Xinyu was a little unconvinced. "President, my aunt Chen Mingxi is the first female entrepreneur in South Korea whose personal assets exceed 1 trillion won. You said that my wealth will exceed that of my aunt, only if my future husband is the richest man in South Korea."

Song Yi felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. He fully believed that he would become the richest man in Korea or even Asia. However, he and Kim Tae-hee had already obtained the marriage certificate, and Chen Jianxi would not let his beloved daughter be Song Yi's mistress. Chen Xinyu felt that it was a bit ambiguous to talk to Song Yi about the requirements for future spouses, so she hurriedly finished her breakfast and went upstairs.

She lowered her head in the elevator, her face slightly red. "Why did I say my future husband is the richest man in South Korea? Song Yi is now a young billionaire in South Korea. Many financial experts predict that Song Yi has the hope of replacing his father as the new richest man in South Korea. What if Song Yi misunderstood that I have a crush on him just now? He has a girlfriend."

Song Yi watched Chen Xinyu almost run away, and laughed dumbly. His sister-in-law seemed a little silly? He picked up the last meat bun, dipped it in chili sauce, and put it in his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face. He had already decided that if he moved to the new headquarters building, he must persuade the canteen's Xiaolongbao store to move there. He would never be able to eat such an authentic Chinese breakfast in Korea again.

After finishing breakfast, Song Yi couldn't help yawning. He took the elevator back to the top floor. He hoped that there would be nothing to deal with in the morning so that he could take a nap in the office.

However, Cui Shanji's appearance obviously broke Song Yi's dream. She rushed into the office in a hurry, "Chairman, the Chosun Ilbo is really in trouble."

Song Yi looked at the newspaper. There were three photos in the Chosun Ilbo, one of him and Lee Eun-joo sitting in the prosecutor's office car, and the other of him being interviewed at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

The headline of the Chosun Ilbo is also very confusing: "A young female star complains about the hidden rules, and a trillion-won tycoon is under investigation by prosecutors." Such a headline and accompanying picture can easily mislead the public and make everyone think that Song Yi also received sexual services from Lee Eun-joo.

Cui Shanji looked self-blaming, "This is actually my fault. As a witness, you didn't have to go to the prosecutor's office with Li Enzhu. After all, you should avoid suspicion when you are in a melon field."

Song Yi looked relaxed, "Does the Chosun Ilbo think that just because it defamed Song Woo-seok before and got away with it, it means they can arbitrarily accuse others? Remember to collect evidence and file a lawsuit directly in the Seoul Court, saying that the Chosun Ilbo has damaged my personal reputation and demanding that the Chosun Ilbo publicly apologize to me in the most prominent section of their newspaper. If you don't agree, I'll demand $100 million in mental damages."

Cui Shanji thought she had misheard, "How much did you ask for compensation? 100 million US dollars?"

Song Yi said, "Yes, you heard it right. They want $100 million in compensation. As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you should pay it back. The Chosun Ilbo doesn't like to make up stories out of thin air. If they want to hype it up, I will cooperate with them and help sell their newspapers."

Cui Shanji was happy. The daily circulation of Chosun Ilbo exceeded 2.5 million copies, making it the most circulated newspaper in South Korea. Why would they need Song Yi's help in selling newspapers?

Song Yi had his own considerations for choosing to sue the Chosun Ilbo. Song Yi had already told Song Woo-seok, Park Dong-ho, Zhou Dong-young and many other members of the Millennium Democratic Party that the New Asia Media Properties Group was preparing to apply for a wireless television station license.

During the New Millennium Democratic Party's internal election campaign, Song Woo-seok was fed up with the Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo's wanton smear campaign against him and his family, so he naturally supported Shin-A to set up its own TV station.

Zhou Dongyong was a well-known MBC news anchor before he was elected as a member of the National Assembly. If New Asia sets up a wireless TV station, he has already set his sights on the position of the first director.

After the establishment of New Asia Wireless TV, it was destined to compete with KBS, SBS, MBC, Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo and JoongAng Ilbo. Obviously, Song Woo-seok and Zhou Dong-young would definitely support Song Yi to take a tougher stance against Chosun Ilbo.

There are many pro-Japanese people among the senior management of Chosun Ilbo, so it is not surprising that they are smearing Song Woo-seok and Song Yi.

"Sun Hee, you have to understand one thing. In this kind of defamation case, even if the court rules against the Chosun Ilbo, at most the newspaper will be ordered to make a public apology and pay a symbolic compensation of 10 or 20 million won. Do you think the Chosun Ilbo cares about this little money? That's why they are so fearless in fabricating fake news."

"If the government orders Chosun Ilbo to shut down and rectify its business, they will use the excuse of press freedom. The so-called press freedom is a lie made up by the West to infiltrate other countries. I can now pay $200 million to buy The Washington Post. Do you think the White House will agree? At that time, they will only use the excuse of endangering national security to stop my acquisition."

"I don't think highly of the compensation offered by the Chosun Ilbo. I might as well propose an amount that the Chosun Ilbo cannot afford, which shows my refusal to mediate. Believe me, in South Korea, there are far more people who are dissatisfied with the Chosun Ilbo than those who support it. The Chosun Ilbo wants to laugh at me, but I also want to laugh at the Chosun Ilbo!" Song Yi said to Choi Sun-hee.

"I understand. I will now notify the company's legal team to handle this private prosecution case," said Cui Shanji.

The Chosun Ilbo originally wanted to publish the same report with the Dong-A Ilbo to create public opinion, but the Dong-A Group Chairman Choi Won-seok gave up the idea of ​​publishing the report because his daughter Choi Sun-hee was the public relations director of the New Asia Media Real Estate Group.

It has to be said that the legal team that New Asia Media Properties Group has spent a lot of money to support is very efficient. Choi Sun-hee had just handed in the task on the first day, and the Seoul Court officially filed the case the next day.

When Chosun Ilbo received the subpoena from the Seoul Court, its President Fang felt it was ridiculous.

"Is Song Yi a lunatic? Even if he encountered false reports, shouldn't he communicate with the newspaper immediately and ask it to withdraw the relevant reports? What does it mean for him to sue directly in court? What, is he crazy about money?"

At this time, the newspaper's legal department told President Fang an even worse news, "President, it seems that Song Yi is really desperate for money this time. He claims that the Chosun Ilbo has seriously violated his personal reputation, caused him great mental harm, and brought extremely bad influence to the corporate reputation of New Asia Media Real Estate Group, and he is demanding compensation totaling $100 million from our newspaper."

President Fang was completely mad. "One hundred million dollars? Ha! Isn't this blackmail? Does he think he is in the United States? He can claim one hundred million dollars in compensation by just filing a lawsuit?"

The legal officer looked very serious. "President, Song Yi's claim is not simply an exorbitant demand. New Asia Media Real Estate Group said that their company is preparing to move forward with a backdoor listing plan, and most of the preparations for the listing have been completed."

"The legal team of New Asia said that it was precisely because of the defamation of Song Yi by the Chosun Ilbo that many investors gave up supporting New Asia Media Real Estate's backdoor listing plan. Not only that, these investors also asked Song Yi to buy back the shares of New Asia Media Real Estate Group that they had previously purchased."

When President Fang heard what the legal department said, he was stunned. "According to what you said, if we lose the lawsuit, can we really compensate New Asia Media Real Estate Group $100 million?"

The legal department denied it, saying, "That's not the case. After all, there is no such thing as punitive damages in Korean law. But if we lose the lawsuit, the compensation will definitely not be enough for 20 million won (120,000 RMB)."

President Fang understood what the legal department meant. If Shin-Asia won the case, Chosun Ilbo would most likely have to pay hundreds of millions or even billions of won in compensation. Even if Chosun Ilbo was a big company, it could not afford to fight a few lawsuits for reputation rights.

He was a little upset. He remembered that a female reporter in the newspaper had dealt with Song Yi several times, and he planned to talk to Song Yi privately. The Chosun Ilbo published a follow-up report to clarify that Xinya Media Real Estate withdrew the lawsuit from the court. We are all media people, there is no need to fight and kill, and it is better to make money in harmony.

When Lu Qiuyan understood the intention of her president, she was speechless. When the newspaper published negative reports about Song Yi, she had clearly expressed her opposition. However, her opinion was not taken seriously by the top management as she was a low-ranking official.

Now that the Chosun Ilbo has been sued by Shin-Asia, and does not want to pay the sky-high compensation, it is going to Song Yi to seek reconciliation. If it had known this would happen, why did it do that in the first place?

Lu Qiuyan knew how powerful Song Yi was when Kim Tae-hee endorsed Samdo Water. Song Yi seemed to be a friendly person on the surface, but once you offended him, he would kill you without any consideration for your feelings. The mall is like a battlefield. Chosun Ilbo had to be the first to provoke the New Asia series. If Song Yi didn't punish you, who would he punish?

Lu Qiuyan was wearing a pink suit today with two buttons of her white shirt undone, highlighting her curvy figure.

President Fang looked at the beautiful reporter and thought of the rumor that Song Yi liked beautiful women. He came up with an idea, "How about this, you help me make an appointment with President Song. I'll treat him to a meal, and we can have a good chat over the table, and clear up any misunderstandings. Since you are an acquaintance of President Song, let's have dinner together tonight. If you can convince President Song to give up the lawsuit, I'll give you credit for it."

Lu Qiuyan was even more reluctant, as she not only had to invite Song Yi but also had to act as a hostess. However, President Fang was the head of Chosun Ilbo, and she did not dare to risk losing her job by offending her boss.

"How about this, I'll go to the New Asia Building to do some location shooting, but it depends on luck whether I can get President Song out." Lu Qiuyan said.

President Fang was very pleased. He thought that Lu Qiuyan took the initiative to use the honey trap in front of Song Yi. He thought that Lu Qiuyan was not as inflexible as his colleagues said. If Song Yi could sleep with this beauty, would he also have the opportunity to touch this beautiful and capable female subordinate?

Obviously, Lu Qiuyan's attempt to meet Song Yi failed. When she registered at the front desk of the New Asia Building and stated her identity, she was directly rejected by the front desk.

"I'm sorry, according to the company's latest regulations, Xinya Building does not accept any reservations from reporters from newspapers or TV stations." The girl at the front desk said in a businesslike manner.

"I am an acquaintance of your president, and also very familiar with your president's girlfriend, Ms. Kim Tae-hee. I am reporter Lu Qiuyan. If your president hears my name, he might be willing to meet me. If you act on your own and turn her guests away, your president may blame you when he finds out." Lu Qiuyan gave a "kind" reminder.

The girl at the front desk hesitated. Just when she didn't know what to do, Cui Shanji came to the front desk to pick up the documents. The girl met her savior and ran to Cui Shanji to report the matter.

Cui Shanji recognized Lu Qiuyan, but she knew that Song Yi would never reconcile with the Chosun Ilbo. The reason why Song Yi wanted to file this lawsuit was to kill a chicken to scare the monkey to establish his authority, otherwise any cat or dog in South Korea would come to challenge the dignity of Song Yi and Xinya.

"Reporter Lu, right? I'm sorry, our chairman is accompanying Mayor Park to inspect the Cheonggyecheon River these days, and he is not interested in meeting any reporters. Please go back." Choi Sun-hee said politely.

Lu Qiuyan didn't want to go home. "Then can I wait for President Song in your company? After all, President Song and I have known each other for two years. He might want to meet me."

Cui Shanji looked at Lu Qiuyan, who had her makeup done delicately, and sized her up and down, making Lu Qiuyan feel as if she was being seen naked.

"Our president wants to meet you? Hahaha, reporter Lu, have you overestimated your position in our president's heart? I don't even remember our president having any beautiful journalist friends." Choi Sun-hee said bluntly.

When Lu Qiuyan heard what Cui Shanji said, she felt very humiliated and had no face to stay in the New Asia Building. She picked up her bag and left the New Asia Building angrily. The sound of her high heels clattering on the marble floor of the front desk was very harsh.

When President Fang learned that Lu Qiuyan had returned empty-handed, his expression finally became serious. "Song Yi is still mindful to accompany Mayor Park Donghao to inspect the Cheonggyecheon River. It seems that he really doesn't take the lawsuit seriously. Why is he so confident that he can win this defamation case?" However, a month later, President Fang knew what Song Yi was relying on.

At the end of September, the Seoul court heard the case of Lee Eun-ju in a closed trial. The Contents Entertainment's representative director Kim Sung-hoon was sentenced to seven years in prison and fined 1.146 billion won for the crimes of intermediary in sexual transactions, special injury, and rape. Lee Eun-ju's manager Park and SK Telecom Vice President Choi were also sentenced to three and five years in prison respectively, and both were fined 200 million won and 560 million won.

In fact, in addition to Kim Sung-hoon, Park and Choi, the court also made different judgments on other people who received sexual services from Lee Eun-ju, including Kim Hyuk-ho and his son of Lotte Group. However, they were all sentenced to suspended sentences. In addition to apologizing to Lee Eun-ju, they also had to pay mental and economic compensation ranging from hundreds of millions of won.

The three major TV stations and the three major newspapers tried to interview the specific details of Lee Eun-ju's trial, but the court kept the specific details of the case secret in order to protect the privacy of the victim Lee Eun-ju. Even though some reporters wanted to report the specific names of the people involved in the Lee Eun-ju case, they were warned by relevant people and gave up.

Media reporters discovered that after the verdict, Lee Eun-ju was no longer in South Korea, as if she had disappeared from South Korea.

At this time, there was suddenly an account named Lee Eun-joo on inschool. She posted a statement of withdrawal from the circle on inschool, and then disappeared from the public eye again.

"Hello everyone, I am actress Lee Eun-joo. I know that many people are paying attention to my case of being sexually exploited. Thank you for your concern. I am currently living abroad alone and starting a new life. The darkest days are over."

"From today on, I will be withdrawing from the entertainment industry indefinitely and will no longer appear in front of you as an actor. I want to apologize to the fans who care about me and love me, but I really can't bear your attention. From now on, I just want to live the rest of my life quietly as an ordinary person. Please forgive my selfishness."

"In fact, the reason why I chose to publish this withdrawal statement on inschool is to clarify some rumors. The Chosun Ilbo reported last month that President Song Yi also received sexual services from me. I would like to make a serious statement here that this is not the case. President Song Yi appeared in the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office as a witness in my case, and was finally taken out of context by some unscrupulous media to slander President Song Yi's personal reputation."

"On August 25, I went to the premiere of Memories of Murder, and I happened to sit next to Chairman Song. Because the plot of the movie Memories of Murder in which female students were molested made me extremely uncomfortable, I was so scared that I lay on my knees."

"President Song Yi was concerned about my safety and patted me on the shoulder. I thought of the painful memory of being sexually assaulted before, so I shouted 'Don't touch me, don't touch me', which almost caused the guests attending the premiere to misunderstand me."

"Chairman Song noticed something was wrong with my body and called the police. Finally, the Gangnam District Police Department and the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office intervened in the investigation. In the end, the bad guys got the punishment they deserved."

“If the sky is dark, then live in the dark. If speaking out is dangerous, then be silent. If you are powerless to shine, then curl up in a corner.”

“But don’t get used to darkness and then defend it, don’t be complacent about your own compromise, and don’t mock those who are braver and more passionate than you. We can be humble like dust, but we can’t be twisted like maggots. Thank you President Song for giving me Nelson Mandela’s Autobiography, which taught me a lot.”

Below this inschool log, there is a selfie of Lee Eun-joo. Lee Eun-joo is sitting on the wooden floor in the living room, holding a copy of Nelson Mandela's Autobiography. In the photo, Lee Eun-joo is not wearing any makeup, and looks calm and indifferent.

There is also a pine tree planted in the courtyard outside, which looks even taller and the color of the pine needles becomes darker. Although the background of the photo is autumn, the pine tree in the photo gives people a sense of vitality and vigor. Of course, Song Yi saw this diary, and he immediately found Cui Shanji, "Did you ask Li Enzhu to post this diary? Li Enzhu just wants to live an ordinary life now, why bother her anymore? For her, the fewer people pay attention to her, the happier she will be."

Cui Shanji had long expected that Song Yi might blame her. In her eyes, Song Yi's personal reputation was far more important than the secondary damage that Li Enzhu might suffer.

"Ms. Lee Eun-joo has cancelled her inschool account after posting this blog post, and she will not continue to use social networking sites in the future. It is impossible for netizens to find Lee Eun-joo's current address through this blog post and disturb her current peaceful life."

"I didn't ask Ms. Li Enzhu to publish such a diary. I just told her about your current situation. She is indeed a good girl who knows how to repay kindness, so she took the initiative to help you clarify it on inschool."

"You don't know the destructive power of Lee Eun-joo's blog post, because Lee Eun-joo said that the Chosun Ilbo is an unscrupulous media. Now Korean netizens have gone to the Chosun Ilbo's official website to leave messages calling the media unscrupulous, saying that they are taking advantage of the situation and will do anything to fabricate fake news for traffic and click-through rates. I think the one who should be having a headache now should be President Fang, right?" Choi Sun-hee also likes to deal with smart people, and Lee Eun-joo is one of them.

President Fang is indeed having a headache now. He did not expect that Li Enzhu would risk being cyber-bullied to help Song Yi clarify the matter. He immediately felt that it was a wrong move. He was afraid that the Chosun Ilbo, as an unscrupulous media, would have to bear the reputation for several years.

On September 30, 2002, the Seoul Court held a public trial on the case of the Chosun Ilbo's infringement of Song Yi's personal reputation. The court ruled that the Chosun Ilbo was guilty of infringement and required that the Chosun Ilbo publicly apologize to Song Yi in a prominent position in the newspaper within the next three days. The Chosun Ilbo was required to pay Song Yi a one-time mental and economic compensation of 600 million won (3.6 million yuan).

The lawsuit between Song Yi and the Chosun Ilbo has come to an end. The top management of the Chosun Ilbo now hates Song Yi and the New Asia Group to the core. They now only hope to find something to hold against Song Yi and bring him down from the altar.

Thanks to Lee Eun-joo's announcement of retirement, female artists in the Korean entertainment industry have publicly thanked Song Yi for speaking up for Lee Eun-joo, and many female artists have even publicly stated that Song Yi is their ideal type. After October, the attention of the Korean people turned to another big event, because the pandas are coming!

The case of Li Enzhu has come to an end. From now on, the daily updates will be around 7,000 words. For every 200 additional monthly votes, one more chapter will be added.
