She looked at Song Yi hesitantly, with her hands clasped together awkwardly in front of her, and her toes all pointed in the direction of Song Yi. "Chairman Song is so enthusiastic about me, and Director Kim is also at the wedding. Aren't you afraid that she will be jealous?" Having experienced the failure of her marriage, she hated her ex-husband Ji Sangyu who cheated on her, and naturally did not want to interfere in the marriage of Song Yi and Kim Tae-hee.
Song Yi understood Ju Zhien's psychology and knew that she was half-hearted and lacked the courage to take the final step.
"Minister Gu, it's better to do it today than to wait for a day. How about after the wedding is over, you can come back to the company with me later, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the working environment of SouHan.com and meet my colleagues at SouHan.com?" Song Yi just wanted to strike while the iron was hot. If Gu Zhien backed down, it would be extremely difficult to convince her to do her job.
Gu Zhien understood what Song Yi meant, and her heart was pounding. She was surprised at Song Yi's strength, but she naturally chose to obey him. Women naturally admire strong men. Facing Song Yi, Gu Zhien had no intention of resisting.
"Okay, President Song, I'll say hello to Yeon-kyung first. After the wedding, I'll go with you." Gu Ji-eun made up her mind. She felt a little regretful now. She should have worn a sexier lingerie today. Would Song Yi think that she was a woman who didn't understand romance, so Ji Sang-yu chose to divorce her.
The wedding was almost over, Zhou Yuncan on the stage officially announced that Song Jianhao and Zhou Zhuyi's wedding was legal and valid. Then the bride and groom thanked their parents, and the bride Zhou Zhuyi hugged her father Zhou Mengxian and mother Zheng Enxuan, which was very touching.
After the thank you speech, there was a simple performance segment. Kim Jong Kook, who was invited by Song Yi, came out to sing a song for the newlyweds. The song he sang was last year's hit song "Likeable".
With this song, Kim Jong Kook won the KBS, SBS and MBC Music Awards last year, becoming the triple crown winner of the Korean music scene. This was also the unique peak of Kim Jong Kook's singing career.
First Lady Jeon Yang-sook recognized Kim Jong-kook as the capable Kim Jong-kook from the "Running Man" show and nodded to him frequently.
When the performance is over, the wedding ceremony is basically over, and the newlyweds need to leave, put on traditional Korean clothes and pay homage to the elders. During this stage, usually only the blood relatives of the newlyweds can enter the room to watch the ceremony.
Song Yi and Kim Tae Hee are blood relatives of the bride, so they naturally entered the worship room. Song Jianhao and Zhou Zhuyi, wearing Korean clothes, knelt on the ground and respectfully worshipped Song Yuxi and his wife and Zhou Mengxian and his wife. After the worship, the newlyweds will go to THE buffet restaurant for dinner.
Kim Tae-hee looked at the grand wedding of Song Jianhao and Zhou Zhuyi, and she could not help but feel a little envious. She and Song Yi had held a simple Western-style wedding in the glass church of PV Island, but did not invite all relatives and friends, which became a small regret in her heart. Fortunately, her son Song Yuanhao's first birthday party made up for this regret in disguise.
Song Yi noticed Kim Tae Hee's emotions, and he held Kim Tae Hee's hand. "The security situation is much better now than it was two years ago. How about we choose a date and hold another wedding at THE Art Museum?"
When Jin Taixi heard Song Yi say this, she smiled sweetly, "Forget it, the child is so old now. If we hold a wedding again, people who don't know the situation will think we are using the wedding as an excuse to collect gifts. If we hold a wedding again, I will think of Aunt Park Minzhen again."
Song Yi hugged Kim Tae Hee. He knew that Park Min Jung was a knot in Kim Tae Hee's heart, so he didn't force her. Kim Tae Hee is still unwilling to appear in public places with many people. The Seoul mass shooting still left her with a lot of psychological trauma.
Zheng Enxuan noticed Kim Tae-hee's behavior and teased her, "Oh, it's rare to see you two showing your affection. Tae-hee, while you are still young, have two more children. SA Group is such a big business, and it will be too stressful for Yuanhao to manage it alone in the future. Let your brothers and sisters help him more."
Zhou Zhiyi echoed, "Besides, it's easier to get back in shape if you have a baby early. Look at my mother. Even though she's almost 50 years old, when we were shopping abroad, some people thought we were sisters and asked for her phone number."
Kim Tae Hee glanced at Jung Eun-sun. She still had a slim waist and very good skin even in her middle age. She looked to be in her thirties, younger than other female stars of the same age. Compared with her mother-in-law Jeon Yang-sook, Jung Eun-sun looked like two generations apart.
Zheng Enxuan knows very well that there are three main reasons why she looks younger than her peers. The first is that she insists on fitness. No matter how busy she is at work, she will always find time for yoga or swimming.
Secondly, she should stick to a nutritious diet and try to eat some light vegetables or fruits with less oil and salt. Finally, thanks to Song Yi's nourishment, she became radiant. Although Zhou Mengxian had been released from prison a long time ago, she and Song Yi still maintained a lingering connection. Perhaps this sneaky sense of betrayal made her feel a little bit addicted, and she couldn't bear to completely break up with Song Yi.
She then remembered something important and called Song Yi aside, "I heard Zhu Yi say that you gave her a The One apartment as a wedding gift. Is that true?"
Song Yi nodded and admitted, "Yes, don't worry, I gave you a 160-square-meter apartment, which is not so eye-catching."
Zheng Enxuan nodded at Song Yi, "You, what can I say about you? Giving the house to Zhu Yi is just giving it to Jianhao and his wife in disguise, isn't it? Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are bribing your father-in-law in disguise?"
Song Yi didn't take it seriously. "Aunt, you can't say that. Jianhao is a senior executive of LG Electronics, and Zhuyi works in the finance department of SA Construction. With their income, they can afford The One apartment, but they will have to bear a mortgage for more than ten years."
"When Zhiyi and Guangmo were dating, I gave them a house in Puhai as a gift. Now it's my sister Zhuyi's turn to get married, and as an elder, I have to treat them equally. If Uncle Song is afraid of the bad influence, why don't Jianhao and Zhuyi move in after he leaves office?" Song Yi said.
Zheng Enxuan knew that what Song Yi said was true and sighed. It was impossible for Song Yuxi to be incorruptible and let his children suffer with him, right?
Zheng Enxuan heard the teasing in Song Yi's words and glared at him, "You've been a little bit arrogant recently. As a brother, how can you be considered an elder?"
Song Yi laughed, "Aunt, you don't understand this. We have an old saying in China, that the eldest brother is like a father. Zhiyi and her sister don't have a brother, so they have always respected me as an elder."
Seeing that Song Yi was getting more and more irresponsible, Zheng Enxuan waved her hand unhappily and said, "I'm not interested in worrying about your affairs. Remember to tell Jianhao's parents about this matter. Don't let them misunderstand that we are showing off."
Originally, Song Yuxi and his wife wanted to share the wedding expenses with Jung Eun-sun, but Jung Eun-sun refused. Although Song Yuxi and his wife accepted Jung Eun-sun's kindness, Jeon Yang-suk was not very happy.
She felt that Zheng Enxuan was actually demonstrating that her daughter-in-law's family was too well-off, so she couldn't act like a mother-in-law to Zhou Zhuyi.
If it was Zhou Mengjiu's family or Zhou Mengzhun's family, they would not need to marry President Song Yuxi. Only emerging consortiums like SA need to consolidate the relationship between the two parties through marriage.
Song Jianhao seems to have no intention of moving from the business world to politics, so someone must inherit the political resources of the Song Yuxi family, so the marriage of Song Yuxi's daughter Song Jingyan is even more important.
Even though Song Woo-seok is the president of South Korea, it is not easy for his daughter to marry the son of a powerful person such as a congressman or the prosecutor. The old political families in Seoul may not look down on the Song Woo-seok family, who come from a poor family.
Song Yuxi originally wanted to choose an ambitious young man from the young officials or young prosecutors of the Blue House for Song Jingyan, even if he came from an ordinary family, but Quan Shuliang disagreed.
Song Jingyan is good-looking and has a good income. Quan Liangshu thinks that her daughter does not need to find a poor boy. She suffered a lot when she found the poor boy Song Yuxi, and she can't let her daughter repeat her old path.
After Quan Liangshu learned that Song Yi gave Zhou Zhuyi a house in The One apartment, her attitude towards Song Yi became more enthusiastic.
"Xiaoyi, we are all family, you don't have to be so polite. Now that Jianhao is married, I am half relieved. Please also take care of Jingyan's marriage in the future." Quan Liangshu patted the back of Song Yi's hand and advised him.
"Aunt, even if you didn't tell me, I would have done it. Do you still remember Li Xianzhen, the host of our ABS TV station's "North-South Dialogue"? " Song Yi asked.
Jeon Yang-sook thought for a moment, "It's Tae-hee's best friend who works at the TV station, right? What happened?"
Song Yi praised, "Aunt, you have a good memory. Li Xianzhen is the daughter of Chief Prosecutor Li Xiangda. She has a brother named Li Yuan, who is a first-level young prosecutor in the Suwon Prosecutor's Office. He is highly valued in their procuratorate and is a key training target."
Quan Liangshu understood what Song Yi meant, "If I remember correctly, Li Xianzhen got married two years ago. It's impossible that Li Yuan is still unmarried now, right?"
"Lee Won previously married the daughter of a congressman, but they had a disagreement and divorced after a few months. Lee Won then applied to work at the Suwon Prosecutors' Office from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, but he has not looked for another job in the past few years because he has been busy with work."
"I met Hyun-jin at the TV station last time, and she talked to me about this matter. This has become a concern for Director Li, so she asked me to keep an eye on it. I will visit Director Li in a few days to see if I can bring them together. I have seen the photos, and Li Yuan is really handsome and talented. It would be a pity if he didn't become an actor. Jingyan would definitely be satisfied if she met him in person." Song Yi said.
Quan Liangshu was a little hesitant, "They got divorced after just a few months of marriage. Is there some hidden reason? Like domestic violence or something like that? I don't want Jingyan to get married and suffer."
Seeing that there was no one around, Song Yi confessed to Quan Shuliang, "Aunt, you can't blame him for the divorce. Not long after they got married, Li Yuan went on a business trip, and his ex-wife made an appointment with her college boyfriend in their wedding room."
"Aunt, please keep this matter a secret. After all, Li Yuan didn't even tell her parents at the beginning, and just insisted on getting a divorce. Later, Li Xianzhen went to Suwon to visit her brother, and her brother drank some wine, then told the truth to his sister." Song Yi said.
Quan Liangshu sighed, "This Li Yuan is a real man. He never revealed the inside story of the divorce from the beginning to the end, and kept a little dignity for his ex-wife."
"That's right. Li Yuan's ex-wife later married a researcher at Yonsei University. The researcher's doctoral supervisor was Professor Le Dianren, the father of Prosecutor General Le Xiyi." Song Yi said.
Jeon Liangshu thought about it carefully. Lee Won is a native of Seoul, his father is the Prosecutor General, and his sister Lee Hyun-jin is a news anchor at ABS TV. From a certain perspective, they can also be classified as progressive factions.
Although it is a second marriage, Li Yuan and his ex-wife have no children and no disputes over child support. Song Jingyan will not have to be a stepmother if she marries him and will not suffer any grievances.
"Li Yuan has now come over his last failed marriage and wants to meet the right person and start a happy family. If President Li agrees, I will make arrangements for Jingyan so that the two young people can find time to meet each other." Song Yi said.
Quan Liangshu thought about it and said, "I have no objection. I will do the work for your uncle Song. You can send the photos to Jingyan first and let her take a look to see if she likes them."
"By the way, I remember that the chief prosecutor of the Suwon Prosecutor's Office is Le Xiyi. Last year, he and Minister Xia Meiai had a disagreement on the reform of the prosecution system. This year, Le Xiyi was transferred from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office to the Suwon Prosecutor's Office as the chief prosecutor."
"Le Xiyi thinks that it is your Uncle Song who wants to reduce the power of prosecutors. If Jingyan and Li Yuan are dating, Le Xiyi will not make things difficult for Li Yuan, right?" Quan Liangshu asked a question that concerned her.
When the Minister of Justice and prosecutors led by Lee Sang-dae and Le Seok-ik were fighting each other, Song Yi adopted a neutral attitude of not helping either side.
In February 2005, the Korean High-Level Public Official Crime Investigation Office was established, and the battle between Ha Mi-ae, Lee Sang-dae, and Le Seok-ik came to an end.
After winning, Xia Meiai transferred Le Xiyi from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office to the Suwon Prosecutor's Office as the Chief Prosecutor in order to crack down on Le Xiyi. Although the rank is the same, the power of the two is very different.
"Aunt, you don't have to worry about this. Li Yuan is Chief Li's son. The fact that Le Xiyi was able to move from a senior prosecutor to the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office was inseparable from the support of Li Xiangdae."
"No matter how dissatisfied Le Xiyi is with Uncle Song, he dare not hinder Li Yuan's future. You know, prosecutors love to stick together. If Le Xiyi dares to suppress the children of his superiors who have promoted him, he will not be able to survive in the prosecutorial system and will sooner or later end up being deserted by everyone." Song Yi said.
After Le Xiyi was sent to the Suwon Prosecutor's Office, Le Xiyi's wife Xin Minjing came to Chengbeidong to plead for Le Xiyi. Everyone knows that the Minister of Justice Xia Meiai and Song Yi have a very good relationship. If Song Yi is willing to mediate, Xia Meiai is likely to give Song Yi a face.
Unexpectedly, Song Yi pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not agree to Xin Minjing's request. Xin Minjing tried her best to serve Song Yi with various difficult postures, but Song Yi just accepted the sugar-coated bullets and refused to do anything.
The reason why Song Yi did this was that he actually sensed that Le Xiyi had already rebelled and wanted to be a traitor. Since the establishment of the Public Mediation Office, Le Xiyi had frequently met with Zheng Jinhui and Li Changhui from the Conservative Party. It was a nuisance to keep such people who were both at the head and the tail around him.
Le Xiyi also understood Song Yi's idea, and his relationship with Song Yi naturally cooled down. However, Xin Minjing did not follow Le Xiyi to Suwon to take up the post, but stayed in Seoul to continue running her SMJ Gallery. She was good at socializing and soon became quite famous in the social circle of Seoul's celebrities.
"In the second half of the year, Li Yuan will be promoted from a first-level youth prosecutor to a prosecutor. He is only one level lower than Le Xiyi. It will be difficult for Le Xiyi to embarrass him at that time. If it really doesn't work out, we can transfer Li Yuan back to Seoul to work."
"As for Jingyan, after Uncle Song retires, I will arrange for her to work in the investment department of SA Bank. She previously worked as an investment manager at IDG Capital, and her previous work experience and connections in the mainland can be used." Song Yi had a plan in mind.
Quan Liangshu felt that Song Yi's arrangement was very thoughtful. She said gratefully, "Xiao Yi, thanks to you, Uncle Song and I have less to worry about. These things were supposed to be done by us parents, but in the end, Jianhao and Jingyan's work and marriage all require you to worry about."
Song Yi did not take credit for it. "Uncle Song is very busy, how can he be bothered by such things? He has been president for more than two years, and he already has a lot of white hair. It is really hard. I can do this easily, so there is no need to trouble Uncle Song and Auntie."
After these years of personal connections, Quan Liangshu really treated Song Yi as his nephew. If Song Yuxi was still a little wary of Song Yi, Quan Shuliang trusted Song Yi immensely. For example, when Song Yuxi or Quan Liangshu's country relatives came to them for help, it was Song Yi who came forward to solve the problem.
"Well, being president is a job that offends people. If there is no mediation, your Uncle Song will offend countless people with his temper. I hope he can retire soon so that we can return to the village to enjoy our retirement," said Quan Liangshu.
After leaving office, the president of South Korea returns to his place of household registration to enjoy retirement benefits. Song Woo-seok is from South Gyeongsang Province, so he needs to return to his village to retire. He does not have a Seoul household registration and cannot buy a house in Seoul.
Song Yi knew that Quan Liangshu was not telling the truth. After living in the big city of Seoul for so long, and with her children set to work and live in Seoul in the future, how could she be willing to return to the village to live out her retirement life?
"Aunt, Jianhao and Jingyan will definitely stay in Seoul to work in the future. Why should we return to Gyeongsangnam-do to live?"
"Minister Xia is ready to propose an amendment to the law to stipulate that outgoing officials at the ministerial level or above can purchase a maximum of one residence in Seoul or Gyeonggi Province. This proposal is expected to be passed before 2007, so you and Uncle Song can stay in Seoul to live out your years." Song Yi revealed some inside information.
Quan Liangshu was very surprised. She had a lot of good things happen today. Her son Song Jianhao got married and her daughter Song Jingyan's marriage was settled. Now she has the hope of staying in Seoul to retire. All the things Song Yi brought her were good news.
"Aunt, don't tell Uncle Song about this yet. He is a fair person. If you tell him in advance, he might misunderstand that you are changing the law specifically for his retirement life. He will sternly refuse and ask us to give up this proposal."
"Previous presidents, from Jeon Jun-be to Song San-gong, from Jong Man-woo to Jong Hyo-tong, all stayed in Seoul to retire. Why should Uncle Song be asked to return to Gyeongsangnam-do to retire when it's his turn?"
"Zhong Xiaotong is not originally from Seoul, so why doesn't he return to his hometown in South Jeolla Province to retire? He moved his registered residence from South Jeolla Province to Seoul, but stipulated that Blue House officials who are not registered in Seoul cannot stay in Seoul to retire after retirement. Who is he trying to disgust?" Song Yi said sarcastically.
When Quan Liangshu heard Song Yi say this, she pretended to rebuke him, "Xiaoyi, let's just talk about this between mother and daughter in private. Don't say it outside. If outsiders know about it, it will cause trouble for your uncle Song."
In fact, Quan Liangshu also agreed with Song Yi's statement. The previous four consecutive presidents stayed in Seoul for retirement. As a result, it was Song Yuxi's turn. He had to return to his hometown in the countryside. Who would be happy with this? "Aunt, don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety." Song Yi humbly accepted the advice.
Quan Liangshu was very satisfied with Song Yi's attitude. Even though Song Yi was already the chairman of one of the top ten conglomerates in South Korea, he still maintained enough respect for her.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. If you have something to do, go and do it first. You don't have to show up at the thank-you banquet later, it will be enough for Tae Hee to attend." Jeon Liangshu was considerate of Song Yi.
Song Yi found Kim Tae-hee and said that he would take Gu Ji-eun to check out the Korean search website first, then go back to the company, and come back to pick her up and go home after he finished his work at the company.
Kim Tae Hee smiled and said, "Honey, I'm not pregnant, you don't have to come and pick me up."
"I just met Sister Soyoung at the wedding. Sister Soyoung asked me to go to their beauty salon for maintenance. Samsung's President Fuzhen, Miss Xinyu and Sister Shanji, the four of us will do activities together. After the beauty treatment, we should find a restaurant to eat. You can take care of dinner by yourself. I can't accompany you today." Kim Tae-hee touched Song Yi's cheek and coaxed her.
"By the way, my sister is flying back from England tonight, so remember to pick her up at the airport. Don't be so busy with work that you forget about this," said Song Yi.
Song Yi was a little surprised. When did Kim Tae Hee get so close to Chen Fuzhen and her sister? They even agreed to do beauty treatments together. Song Suying, Chen Fuzhen, Chen Xinyu, Cui Shanji and Kim Tae Hee, if Kim Tae Hee knew that among these women, Song Yi only hadn't touched Chen Xinyu, she would probably be very crazy, right? Song Suying knew that Chen Fuzhen had given birth to a son for Song Yi, and Cui Shanji also knew about the relationship between Chen Fuzhen and Song Yi. So Song Suying came to this game to ease the relationship between Song Yi's wife and concubine's wife.
The problem is that Chen Fuzhen never thought of herself as a concubine, and she might not be willing to be humble to Kim Tae-hee. If Chen Fuzhen and Kim Tae-hee fight, who should he help? Song Yi thinks that after he takes Gu Ji-eun to visit Sohan.com, he should go to the beauty salon to pick up Kim Tae-hee in advance. If Kim Tae-hee fights Chen Fuzhen, she may not get any advantage.
Thank you for your monthly votes. Song Jingyan's marriage actually also has a backup plan to deal with Le Xiyi. I wish you all a happy weekend in advance, and see you tomorrow.
