Everything has been dealt with, and Song Yi and his team are ready to leave SM Entertainment.
Xu Zhuxian bowed to say goodbye to Jin Yingmin and Li Xiuman, and then sat in the back seat of Song Yi's car. Cui Shanji was slightly stunned, and then sat in the co-pilot. Jiang Xiuna drove back again.
Kim Young-min watched Seo Joo-hyun sit next to Song Yi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Lee Soo-man with a smile: "Chairman Song really dotes on Seo Joo-hyun."
Until now, Lee Soo Man still has not figured out Liu Huiying's background. How did she and Xu Zhuxian know Song Yi?
When Song Yi first founded New Asia Entertainment, Liu Huiying attended the company's opening ceremony. So Liu Huiying and her daughter must have known Song Yi even earlier, and they also witnessed the development of SA Group from scratch, from small to large, from an entertainment company to a large-scale comprehensive conglomerate.
Lee Soo Man seemed to be thinking about something. "Just now, Chairman Song said that Lee Yeon Hee will star in a KBS TV series. Does this mean that the group is ready to let Lee Yeon Hee leave Girls' Generation? If Lee Yeon Hee leaves Girls' Generation, do you have a suitable replacement?"
Jin Yingmin was slightly stunned. "There is another trainee in the company named Park So Yeon. Her appearance, dancing and singing are all above average. Because of her age, and her positioning conflicts with Lee Yeon Hee and Jessica Jung, she was not allowed to join Girls' Generation."
Lee Soo-man is mainly responsible for the two boy groups TVXQ and Super Junior. Lee Soo-man knew that Kim Young-min wanted to please Song Yi by caring about Girls' Generation, so he took the initiative to hand over the management of Girls' Generation to Kim Young-min.
Kim Young Min is the representative director of SM Entertainment, which also shows how much importance SM Entertainment attaches to the group that Seo Ju-hyun is in.
"A bit older? What year was she born?" Lee Soo Man asked.
"Born in October 1987, I just turned 17 this year," Jin Yingmin replied.
"They are a bit old. Seo Ju-hyun is only 13 years old this year, and there is a four-year age difference between them. The chairman obviously wants to develop Girls' Generation into a long-lived group like Shinhwa."
"How about this, Lee Yeon Hee is going to the SA Group Building to receive professional training in acting courses these days. You let Park So Yeon accompany Lee Yeon Hee. As soon as the chairman sees Park So Yeon, he will understand what we mean. Let the chairman decide whether to keep Park So Yeon. As a trainee in a girl group, she is a little old, but as a woman, her age is just right." Lee Soo Man said.
Kim Young-min understood Lee Soo-man's subtext and felt nervous. He didn't know whether Lee Soo-man was trying to please Song Yi on his own initiative or whether Song Yi had hinted to Lee Soo-man.
"Okay, I will tell Park So-yeon later to go to the SA Group Building and follow the chairman's arrangements." Kim Young-min said.
"Park So-yeon is a smart person, I believe she will seize this opportunity. Some people try their best to make progress, and we should not stop them. It may seem that you protect her, but others may resent you and say that you did not give her a chance." Lee Soo-man said calmly.
"I understand, Mr. Li." Kim Young-min replied. He knew that Lee Soo-man was using Song Yi's name to pressure him.
"President Kim, you said that Jessica Jung's parents also know Song Yi, so why has Jessica Jung never ridden in Song Yi's car? Let alone sat in the back seat?" Lee Soo Man asked puzzledly.
Jin Yingmin has also met Zheng Xiuyan's parents. Zheng Chaodong is a superficial man who keeps talking about his relationship with Song Yi. For example, Zheng Xiuyan's sister Zheng Xiujing is a signed artist of SA Agency.
Zheng Chaodong also revealed many times that he and his wife visited Song Yi's villa in Seongbukdong and his American estate. On the contrary, Zheng Xiuyan's mother Li Jingshu is very low-key and never mentions Song Yi's name.
"I think it may be because the chairman is friends with Jessica Jung's parents and is not familiar with Jessica Jung. And Seo Ju-hyun is friends with the chairman himself, so Seo Ju-hyun can sit next to the chairman very skillfully." Kim Young-min almost guessed the truth.
Lee Soo Man thought Kim Young Min was daydreaming. "When the chairman met Seo Joo Hyun, Seo Joo Hyun was still a child under ten years old. How did the two of them become friends?"
Kim Young-min also felt that his idea was a bit nonsensical, but he couldn't say that Seo Joo-hyun's mother Liu Huiying was Song Yi's lover, but Jessica Jung's mother Li Jingshu was not, right?
Song Yi had no idea that Kim Young Min and Lee Soo Man were plotting against him, and he had no idea that Lee Soo Man had specially sent Park So Yeon to him.
He looked at Xu Zhuxian who was pouting her lips, "Xiaoxian, who made you angry? Your lips are pouting so high that you can hang a bottle of oil on them."
Cui Shanji and Jiang Xiuna in the front row almost laughed out loud when they heard Song Yi's description. They knew that Song Yi and Xu Zhuxian were good friends, and when they got together, they would always want to tease Xu Zhuxian because Xu Zhuxian was mature beyond her years and always serious.
Xu Zhuxian was a little embarrassed, "President, why don't you agree that I can go to the "The Sound" program to support Brother Yunhao and others?"
"I had already promised Taeyeon that I would take them to ABS TV to watch The Sound live. That music show has many great singers such as Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, and Baek Ji Young, and we wanted to watch and learn from them live."
"I didn't do what I promised my sisters. It's so embarrassing." Seo Ju-hyun said angrily.
Before The Sound was recorded, Seo Ju-hyun had already received the news. SM Entertainment and SA Group had no shortage of staff to please her. When she patted her chest and assured the girls of Girls' Generation that they could go directly to The Sound to cheer, she was surprised that when she reported this to Song Yi, he directly denied it.
Song Yi was playing dumb, "Really? Is that true? Do I know about it? Xiu Na, Xiao Xian wants to go to the recording site of "The Sound", why didn't anyone inform me?"
Jiang Xiu Na was stunned. Wasn't it you who veted it at the beginning? SM Entertainment's business, Xu Zhuxian's affairs as a priority, were all reported directly to Jiang Xiu Na, who then reported it to Song Yi.
Xu Zhuxian was a little hesitant. She tilted her head and looked at Song Yi, "President, you don't know?"
Song Yi shook his head and said sincerely, "Of course I don't know. Xiaoxian, now that New Asia and Eshan have just merged, there are a lot of things going on in SA Group. I have to go through the financial statements of dozens of companies in the morning and hold video conferences with the management of different subsidiaries. How can I have the time to stop you from going to the show "The Sound"? "
Cui Shanji, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't hold back her laughter. "Xiaoxian, don't listen to the chairman's nonsense. He is the one who doesn't agree with you going to The Sound to support TVXQ. He also complained that there is nothing good to support. Xiaoxian is going to become the Asian super girl group, how can she support other boy groups? Your brother Song Yi is jealous!"
Song Yi didn't expect Cui Shanji to sabotage at this time. He was a little angry and said, "Director Cui, I think you are itching to expose my shortcomings! Believe it or not, I will beat your ass!"
Cui Shanji gave Song Yi a look with a very charming look, but it was a pity that Xu Xianxian was in the car, otherwise she would have liked Song Yi to slap her on the butt a few times.
She turned her head and looked at Xu Zhuxian, her expression normal, and said carefully: "Xiaoxian, I have offended the chairman for you, you must protect me! Say something good for me in front of the chairman."
When Song Yi saw Cui Shanji's change of expression, he was amazed. She was indeed a charming little goblin.
When Xu Zhuxian heard what Cui Shanji said, she was nervous but also a little happy. It turned out that she went to cheer for the brothers of TVXQ. Would Brother Song Yi be jealous? However, Brother Song Yi has become busier and busier in the past two years, and has become more and more majestic. She didn't dare to pester Song Yi to play with her.
"Brother Song Yi, you must be honest and not lie. Aunt Shanji pointed out your mistake and told me the truth. How can you punish her?" Xu Zhuxian said seriously.
Song Yi looked at Xu Zhuxian's clear eyes and couldn't continue joking. "Director Cui and I were just joking."
"Xiaoxian, I have arranged Kim Taeyeon and Jessica Jung to be MCs of "The Sound". From now on, Xiaoxian can go directly to the show no matter who he wants to support, as long as he finishes his schoolwork and the training classes arranged by the company." Song Yi said.
Xu Zhuxian thought that Song Yi arranged for her teammates to be MCs of "The Sound" in order to make up for her. Her tone became gentler, "Brother Song Yi, you are not an artist, and you can't sing and dance on the stage. How can I support you? Should I persuade Mom to spend some money to buy more SA Group stocks?"
"Yunho dances very handsomely, Jaejoong sings very well, and Junsu looks very handsome. The reason why we want to support them is because TVXQ is our seniors. I am not their fan. I admire other idols." said Seo Ju-hyun.
"Oh? Let me guess, your idol might be Foreign Minister An Wenqi?" Song Yi asked.
An Wenji is also a senior diplomat in South Korea. He graduated from the Department of Diplomacy at Seoul National University. In the 1990s, he served as Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and in 2001, he served as South Korea's ambassador to the United Nations.
In 2003, An Wenji served as Song Yuxi's diplomatic assistant, and in early 2004, An Wenji officially served as South Korea's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. However, Song Yi knew that An Wenji's brilliant career had not yet begun. After 2007, An Wenji officially served as the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Xu Zhuxian has dreamed of becoming a diplomat since she was a child. She has also repeatedly stated in interviews that An Wenji is her idol.
Under the influence of An Wenji, Seo Ju-hyun became a UNICEF ambassador in 2011, and An Wenji appointed Seo Ju-hyun as a UN Goodwill Ambassador in 2012. An Wenji hopes that Seo Ju-hyun's endorsement can attract more young people to visit the UN Pavilion and understand the importance of sustainable development of the ocean.
Since her debut, Seo Ju-hyun has been enthusiastic about charity activities and has also established scholarships at her alma mater, Dongguk University.
Xu Zhuxian cursed Song Yi in her heart for being an idiot, but she still nodded, "Brother Song Yi has always known that I want to be a diplomat."
Song Yi was about to touch the back of Xu Zhuxian's head, but Xu Zhuxian subconsciously dodged. Song Yi's right hand was suspended in the air, and he stretched lazily in embarrassment. Cui Shanji saw Song Yi's action from the rearview mirror and almost laughed out loud.
"It's okay, Xiaoxian, work hard. After you make your debut, I will take you to participate in foreign affairs activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Then you will be able to meet Foreign Minister An. After you graduate from university, I will arrange for you to work at the United Nations, okay?" Song Yi said.
Xu Zhuxian felt embarrassed when she saw Song Yi stretching, and she didn't know why she subconsciously moved aside. Maybe she felt that this was the elders' caring for the younger generation, and she had grown up now, and didn't want Song Yi to continue treating her like a child.
Song Yi looked at Xu Zhuxian who was sitting next to him. Xu Zhuxian was now about 1.6 meters tall. When standing next to her mother Liu Huiying, she was almost as tall as her mother. She was already a graceful young lady. It was inappropriate for him to continue treating her like a child.
Xu Zhuxian sat up straight, put her hands on her legs, turned around and asked Song Yi, "Brother Song Yi, if you arrange for me to work in the United Nations and become a diplomat after I graduate from college, what about the sisters who trained hard with me? If there are only eight people in Girls' Generation, is it still Girls' Generation?"
Song Yi smiled and said, "All good things must come to an end. Even the best sisters will eventually leave the company. If a member feels that SM Entertainment gives her too little money, it's normal for her to want to leave Girls' Generation in the future."
After Jessica Jung left Girls' Generation in 2014, Girls' Generation became an eight-member group. After Seohyun, Choi Sooyoung, and Hwang Miyoung left in 2017, Girls' Generation became a five-member group. In 2023, Lee Sunkyu did not renew her contract, and after the sixteenth anniversary of Girls' Generation, it became a four-member group consisting of Taeyeon, Yoona, Kwon Yuri, and Kim Hyoyeon.
The reason why Taeyeon and Yoona are willing to renew their contracts is because SM Entertainment really treasures them. Taeyeon has already transformed into a solo female singer, and Yoona has always had good resources in film and television dramas.
The reason why Kwon Yuri and Kim Hyoyeon stayed in SM Entertainment is because they both have no way to start their own business like Seo Ju-hyun, so it would be better for them to stay in SM Entertainment and retire.
Xu Zhuxian thought to herself, "All good things must come to an end, right?" When she grows up, will her relationship with brother Song Yi become more and more distant?
Song Yi continued, "If Xiaoxian wants to become a diplomat, then he needs to study harder. After all, there are only a few good universities in South Korea that offer diplomacy majors."
"If Xiaoxian wants to become a top KPOP idol, he needs to work hard on singing, dancing and body management."
"If Xiaoxian wants to become a top Korean actress like Jun Ji-hyun, she needs to spend more time on acting classes and have enough life experience and accumulation, so that she can perform the charm of different roles in front of the camera."
"No pain, no gain. No one can succeed easily. The result is not important. What is important is that you are willing to work hard for this goal," said Song Yi.
Xu Zhuxian had often heard her mother say similar things before, and she had also entered the rebellious period of adolescence. Although she was a good girl, she could not help but have a rebellious mentality sometimes. But today, she listened to Song Yi's words for the first time.
Xu Zhuxian looked at Song Yi cautiously, "Brother Song Yi, if I don't want to be a KPOP star, I don't want to be a diplomat, and I don't want to be an actor."
"I just want to get into college, then work in a company and become an ordinary office worker. Maybe the university I get into is not that good, and it is not a famous school like Seoul National University, Yonsei University and Korea University. Are you still willing to continue to be friends with me?" Seo Ju-hyun asked.
Song Yi found it funny, and he couldn't help rubbing Xu Zhuxian's head. "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"
Xu Zhuxian muttered softly, "You can't blame me for this. It's because you, Tae Hee, and Hyun Jin are so awesome."
"Sister Hyun herself-jin used to be a news anchor for KBS. Now she is hosting the show "North-South Dialogue" by and has become a well-known female news anchor in Korea."
"Tae Hee is amazing. The TV series "Jewel in the Palace" she starred in created a myth of Korean TV series ratings. "Jewel in the Palace" has become popular in China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. The THK clothing brand she founded has accumulated sales of more than 10 billion won."
Xu Zhuxian didn't finish her words, as for Song Yi, he was even more amazing. When Xu Zhuxian first met Song Yi, Song Yi was still the planning director of New Korea Media, and now Song Yi is the chairman of SA Group, one of the top ten financial groups in Korea.
Korean newspapers said that Song Yi's personal assets will surpass the richest man Chen Jianxi next year, and he will officially become the richest man in South Korea.
South Korea has never had a richest man under the age of 40. Song Yi's wealth myth is obviously more legendary than that of Japan's richest man, Masayoshi Son.
Koreans have a complicated attitude towards Song Yi, as he is not a local tycoon. Song Yi's mother is a Korean and a member of the modern family, so the Korean media can only desperately attribute Song Yi's achievements to Zhou Zhengyong's teaching and genetic talent.
Reports about Song Yi have appeared twice in the American magazine "Time". "Time" wants to conduct an in-depth interview with Song Yi to learn about Song Yi's entrepreneurial journey and private life. After the interview is completed, Song Yi will become the cover character of "Time".
But surprisingly, Song Yi decisively rejected the olive branch thrown by Time Magazine. When Koreans saw this news, they beat their chests and stamped their feet. Being the cover figure of Time Magazine was such a great honor, but Song Yi just refused it?
However, Song Yi's response was impeccable. After experiencing the assassination at Seoul University, Song Yi and Kim Tae Hee did not like to expose their personal lives to the public media. Especially since Kim Tae Hee gave birth to a son in the hospital in the first half of this year, she was even more unwilling to be disturbed by the media.
Song Yi saw that Xu Zhuxian was frowning. It was obvious that the girl had been troubled by this problem for a long time, and it had become a heart disease for Xu Zhuxian.
"Xiaoxian, we have known each other for almost four years. When we first met, you were still a tiny kid next to your mother, and your height was not even up to your mother's shoulders."
Song Yi gestured, his expression lost in memories, "At that time, you and your mother were separated by the crowd at Puxing Pavilion, because the people behind you were desperately pushing forward to watch the New Year's Eve performance in front of Puxing Pavilion Square, and you were almost knocked down by the crowd."
Xu Zhuxian also recalled the situation at that time, and her expression became more gentle. "Later, Brother Song Yi came out and asked me to stand on the stone bench next to him. At that time, I thought Brother Song Yi was a bad guy, and I just wanted to wait for my mother to come. Later, you escorted me and my mother out of the crowd, and my mother praised Brother Song Yi for being very manly."
Cui Shanji had heard this story from Liu Huiying a long time ago, and she was also impressed by the good luck of Liu Huiying and her daughter, who were able to meet Song Yi in advance before he became famous. Who would have thought that the young man they met by chance would become the chairman of one of the top ten financial groups in South Korea? Jiang Xiuna heard this story for the first time, and she was very fascinated while driving.
Moreover, Choi Sun-hee discovered that Song Yi also respected Liu Huiying very much. Although both SA Group and SM Entertainment had spread rumors about Song Yi and Liu Huiying, after all, Song Yi and Liu Huiying often met together, and Liu Huiying's husband was a soldier, and he and Liu Huiying were always apart, so it was not surprising that there were such rumors.
However, according to Cui Shanji's observation, she is sure that Song Yi and Liu Huiying do not have an ambiguous relationship. Although Liu Huiying has praised Song Yi in front of Cui Shanji many times and admired Song Yi very much, Song Yi has always maintained due respect for Liu Huiying.
Lee Jung-sook is the mother of Girls' Generation member Jessica Jung, and Yoo Hye-young is the mother of Seo Ju-hyun, but Song Yi treats Lee Jung-sook and Yoo Hye-young in completely different ways.
Li Jingshu coveted Song Yi's power and wealth, and tried to please him. Whether it was the TH private jet, the Xinya yacht, the office or the car, there were traces of her and Song Yi's happiness.
The relationship between Song Yi and Liu Huiying is more like that between friends. Song Yi cares about Xu Zhuxian's growth. Perhaps Song Yi really regards Xu Zhuxian as a good friend, so he is unwilling to desecrate the friendship between him and Xu Zhuxian.
"Xiaoxian, whether two people can become friends depends mainly on whether they get along well and have the same values. It has nothing to do with whether she is a star, an actor or a diplomat. What I like is Xiaoxian, who is self-disciplined and hardworking."
"It doesn't matter if Seo Ju-hyun didn't get into Seoul National University or Yonsei University. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a star or a diplomat."
"Because based on my understanding of Xiaoxian, even if you can't get into the top university in Korea, you will still be a good employee who works hard and loves life," Song Yi concluded.
After listening to this, Cui Shanji secretly laughed, "Xu Zhuxian, you have such a powerful brother like Song Yi. Even if you don't want to be a star or a diplomat, you will at least be a senior executive of a large consortium in the future. How can you become an ordinary person? For a real big man like Song Yi, ordinary people are like dust on the ground. They are just waiting in the corner for the day when the wind he passes by can take them away."
If you are lucky enough to land on his shoes and follow him for a while, you will be very happy. Because even if you work hard all your life, it is not as good as Song Yi's words, "I think Xu Zhuxian is very good, you can give this project to her for a try."
Choi Sun-hee did not forget to comfort Seo Joo-hyun, "Everyone is the best version of themselves. As long as you work hard to do your own thing, you are the best version of yourself. Don't care too much about other people's eyes. Don't define yourself by other people's success. This will only add to your troubles."
After listening to what Song Yi and Cui Shanji said, Xu Zhuxian felt much more relaxed and a sweet smile appeared on her face, "Thank you, Brother Song Yi and Aunt Shanji, I understand!"
When Song Yi and the others returned to Xu Zhuxian's house, Liu Huiying also happened to come back from the piano school. She was carrying a lot of food in her hands. "I thought you guys had arrived a long time ago, and I was worried that Xiaoxian wouldn't be able to entertain you well."
"I went to the supermarket today and bought anchovies and beef, which are just right for making soup. Song Yi, Shan Ji and Xiu Na, you can stay and have dinner with us. Xiaoxian, come to the kitchen and help your mother clean up the dishes." Liu Huiying greeted them warmly.
Xu Zhuxian made coffee for Song Yi and the other two, and then happily ran to the kitchen to help. Song Yi skillfully turned on the TV and watched the KBS evening news.
Cui Shanji looked at Song Yi sitting in the middle of the sofa in the living room, and Liu Huiying and her daughter busy cooking in the kitchen, and she couldn't help shaking her head. Song Yi was too familiar, and if you didn't know him, you would think he was the male owner of the house.
At this time, a news about Song Yuxi was being broadcast on TV. Song Yi watched the news carefully, and his expression became more and more serious.
"The Grand National Party spokesman said they are asking President Song Woo-seok to respond to the case of the president of Daewoo Construction committing suicide in the south."
"The Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office has confirmed that the former president of Daewoo Construction bribed Song Gun-pyeong, Song Woo-seok's brother, with 60 million won in bribes in order to be re-elected as the president of Daewoo Construction."
"The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office has charged Song Jianping with violating the Lawyers Act and committing bribery through mediation, and has decided to prosecute him without detention. At the same time, the Prosecutors' Office is investigating the process and circumstances of Xiang Nanguo's bribery of Song Jianping."
"This morning, the president talked about the fact that his brother Song Jianping received 60 million won from Xiang Nanguo and then returned it. The president said that when he learned that his brother Song Jianping had been bribed, he used his influence to prevent Xiang Nanguo from being re-elected as the president of Daewoo Construction."
"Shortly after the morning press conference, Xiang Nanguo's defense lawyer said that after listening to the president's speech on TV, he was ready to take full responsibility for the bribery case and committed suicide by jumping into the Han River this afternoon."
"The Grand National Party said that President Song Woo-seok's remarks were extremely inappropriate and directly led to the victim's suicide in the south. The Grand National Party does not rule out joining forces with other parties to demand the impeachment of the current President Song Woo-seok and to temporarily suspend the exercise of presidential power."
Song Yi frowned. He was extremely speechless towards Song Yuxi's brother. He felt helpless and like a piece of mud that could not be helped.
60 million won is equivalent to 50,000 US dollars, which is just a few dollars. For such a small amount of money, Song Jianping dared to say hello to the re-election of the president of Daewoo Construction. He is really not afraid of damaging Song Yuxi's good reputation.
Song Yi was also helpless about the way Song Yuxi handled the matter. Even if you wanted to demonstrate your integrity and were ready to cut ties with Song Jianping, you couldn't use this method.
Now you say that you used the influence of the president to veto Xiang Nanguo's re-election, which has indirectly confirmed two things.
First, if you hadn't said hello, would Song Jianping have persuaded relevant personnel to approve Xiang Nanguo's re-election? This is evidence that your relatives accepted bribes through influence.
Second, you used your influence as president to veto Xiang Nanguo's re-election, which indirectly shows that you abused your power.
After the Daewoo Group went bankrupt, the Daewoo Construction was taken over by the South Korean government. South Korea also has state-owned enterprises, which are divided into state-owned enterprises, government-controlled enterprises, government-invested enterprises and subsidiaries of government-controlled enterprises.
The first type of companies are usually related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as the Korea Land Corporation or the Korea Railroad Corporation. The former owns the most land in Korea, and the latter specializes in Korean railways, such as the KTX high-speed railway.
When South Korea built the tourist railway from Jejin Station to Goseong Station, Song Yi had a lot of dealings with the Railway Commune.
The second type of enterprise is one where the government invests more than 50% of the total equity. The presidents of such companies are given greater autonomy in management, but they must also accept the government's performance evaluation to implement the responsibility system for management and operation. Daewoo Construction and Posco are the second type. Posco is also a world-renowned steel giant.
Logically speaking, since it is a company funded by the South Korean government, the Ministry of Planning and Finance, as the investing entity, should decide on personnel changes.
Now Song Jianping can influence the decision of the Minister of Planning and Finance with just a word, and Song Yuxi used his presidential power to veto the decision of the Minister of Planning and Finance. This is not to play with the public power of government departments as private power, which has aroused great anger in the South Korean parliament and the public.
Therefore, Zheng Jinhui, who had just become the leader of the Grand National Party, immediately seized on this point of Song Woo-seok and launched a relentless attack on him in public opinion.
If Song Woo-seok is successfully impeached, he will become the first incumbent president to be impeached in South Korean history.
If the South Korean parliament passes the impeachment motion, Song Woo-seok will be suspended from office for investigation. South Korean Prime Minister Ko Seok will serve as acting president. Ko Seok was the mayor of Seoul before Park Dong-ho.
This is not the worst consequence, because if the impeachment is passed, the South Korean parliament will have to hold an election. If the opposition Grand National Party wins the election, then the Grand National Party, which holds a majority of seats in the parliament, has the right to ask Song Woo-seok to resign early and then hold a presidential election early.
By then, the Grand National Party, which is pursuing its victory, might win the South Korean presidential election in one fell swoop, and Zheng Jinhui would take over the Blue House ahead of schedule. This is what Song Yi is most worried about.
Although SA Group is already one of the top ten conglomerates in South Korea, it is not the same as the old conglomerates such as Samsung, Hyundai Motor and Lotte. It is difficult to resist the all-round suppression of Zheng Jinhui. If Zheng Jinhui succeeds in being elected president, he will definitely take SA Group as the first target.
Song Yi felt a little strange. If the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office decided to investigate Song Jianping, there was no reason for Song Yi not to receive the news. After all, Le Xiyi was the chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
Song Yi has a good relationship with the current Prosecutor General Lee Sang-dae, and Lee Sang-dae's daughter Lee Hyun-jin is currently working at ABS TV station.
Song Yi thought of this and called Xin Minjing to ask about the situation. Le Xiyi was a henpecked husband and would not hide many news from Xin Minjing.
Xin Minjing quickly answered the phone, "President Song, how come you, such a busy man, have time to call me?" Obviously she was a little dissatisfied with Song Yi's neglect during this period.
Song Yi coughed. Xin Minjing realized that there were other people beside Song Yi, and her tone became serious, "President Song, I will tell you everything you know."
Song Yi asked directly, "Was it Chief Prosecutor Le's decision for the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office to investigate Song Jianping?"
Shin Min-kyung does know some inside information, "Xi Yi is not the executor, he also obeys the decision of his superiors. However, the prosecution system is very dissatisfied with the reform measures recently introduced by Minister of Justice Ha Mi-ae, believing that she wants to weaken the power of prosecutors, so Xi Yi agreed to the decision of his superiors."
"They didn't actually conduct an in-depth investigation into Song Jianping's thoughts, so they released him after arresting him. Song Jianping also voluntarily returned the 60 million won in bribes, so it actually had no impact on the president. Who knew that Xiang Nanguo would actually commit suicide by jumping into the river for such a small matter, which put the president in a passive position. Xi Yi and the others actually just wanted to teach Minister Xia a lesson at first." Xin Minjing revealed the inside story.
Combining tonight's news with Xin Minjing's words, Song Yi knew that what Xin Minjing said was basically the truth.
This is how Zheng Jinhui saw through the internal conflicts between the Minister of Justice Xia Meiai, the Chief Prosecutor Lee Sang-dae, and the Seoul Local Central Prosecutor's Office, and seized the opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive against Song Yuxi. Zheng Jinhui is worthy of being the daughter of former President Zheng Puxi. Born in a political family, she is far more sensitive to power struggles than ordinary people.
Song Yi pondered for a moment. It seemed that Xia Meiai's reform of the procuratorial system and her approach of restricting the power of prosecutors had aroused strong backlash from the procuratorial system.
In his previous life, after Song Woo-seok was impeached, Xia Meiai was on the wrong side and agreed to Song Woo-seok's impeachment. Unexpectedly, Song Woo-seok survived in the end, and the opposition party was defeated in the parliamentary re-election. The Supreme Court of South Korea also overturned the impeachment bill of the South Korean National Assembly, and Song Woo-seok was reinstated.
Ha Mi-ae's decision to stand on the wrong side directly led to her being away from the center of political power in South Korea. After Park Dong-ho was elected president, Ha Mi-ae was able to serve as the Minister of Justice.
Park Dong-ho then trained Ha Mi-ae as the presidential candidate of the ruling Democratic Party. Ha Mi-ae cleaned up the prosecution system in South Korea with an iron fist, and fell out with then-Prosecutor General Le Seok-ik. Le Seok-ik then joined the opposition party and was elected president of South Korea by a narrow margin, and Shin Min-kyung became the first lady of the country.
"Okay, I got it. By the way, Taixi's THE Art Museum will open at the end of the month. I will ask her to send you an invitation. Remember to come and attend. THK has launched many new autumn and winter styles, and many of them are very suitable for you. She has already reserved the latest models for you, and you can go to the THK store to pick them up at any time." Song Yi said.
When Xin Minjing heard Song Yi say this, she was delighted. Her efforts in serving Song Yi were worth it. Song Yi would not forget her even if he got something good from her.
Kim Tae-hee's THE Art Museum is the second largest private art museum in South Korea, second only to the Samsung Museum of Art. The opening of THE Art Museum is also a grand event for Korean socialites and ladies.
At that time, Samsung Chairman's wife Luo Hongxi, Samsung Crown Princess Lim Ji-ling, Samsung Princess Chen Fuzhen, SK Chairman's wife Song So-young and other wealthy ladies will attend. She will receive an invitation prepared by Kim Tae-hee herself. This will be a great opportunity for her to further network.
"President Song, I still like your niece Song Miao very much. When will she come to Seoul again? I also want to go to your house to teach her how to paint." Xin Minjing said in a soft voice.
Song Yi looked at Xu Zhuxian who was busy in the kitchen. He responded calmly, "Miaomiao can only come to Korea during the winter vacation. But my good friend's daughter is very interested in painting. How about I make an appointment for you to meet and see if she has talent in this area."
Xin Minjing knew that Le Xiyi's position came from Song Yi, so she naturally wanted to help her husband get close to Song Yi. "How about this, I don't have anything to do in the gallery tomorrow, so you bring her to the gallery as a guest, and I'll teach her on the spot."
Song Yi didn't want to go to Xin Minjing's gallery again. Who knows whether Le Xiyi had installed surveillance cameras in Xin Minjing's gallery. If he was caught on camera, then things would get out of hand.
He felt that Le Xiyi was a little too arrogant now, and even dared to get involved in the power struggle between Xia Meiai and Li Xiangda. Although the Minister of Justice Xia Meiai could not dismiss Li Xiangda as the Chief Prosecutor, it would not be a problem to kick you out as the Chief Prosecutor.
The Korean prosecution system has 1 Prosecutor General, 8 Senior Prosecutors General, and 30 Chief Prosecutors, who are in charge of 40 prosecution branches across the country. There are a total of 2,000 prosecutors across the country.
After South Korea reached an agreement on the abolition of the prosecutorial investigative power bill in 2012, the "investigative power" of South Korean prosecutors was officially abolished. The then South Korean Attorney General and eight senior prosecutors all resigned to express their dissatisfaction. More than 200 South Korean prosecutors gathered in Seoul to express their dissatisfaction with the ruling party's abolition of the prosecutor's "investigative power".
Although Lee Sang-dae was promoted to Prosecutor General of South Korea from the position of Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, this does not mean that Le Seok-ik is the second-in-command of the South Korean prosecution system. He is only one of the eight senior prosecutors.
Xia Meiai can transfer Le Xiyi directly from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office to the Suwon City Prosecutors' Office as the Chief Prosecutor. Although they are both chief prosecutors, the power is very different.
"Forget it, I won't go to the gallery. I will take her home after school tomorrow. When you are done with your work at the gallery, come to my house. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see my son? Taixi has something to do tomorrow, so the nanny will help take care of him. If she is at home, she will not be willing to let the child go out to meet guests, for fear that he will be blown by the wind." Song Yi said.
Xin Minjing understood what Song Yi meant. Since Jin Taixi was not at home, she could date Song Yi at home without any worries. After all, Le Xiyi was a middle-aged man in his forties. She still preferred to pursue pleasure with a young and handsome man like Song Yi.
"Okay, I just happened to have a painting prepared here that can be given as a gift to THE Art Museum for collection. You can just wait for me at home tomorrow, I have also prepared a gift for you." Shin Min-kyung said.
Zheng Jinhui officially appeared, and she is indeed a powerful character.
