Song Suying was annoyed. "I'm not deaf. In order not to affect your conversation, I withdrew all the employees from the fifth floor. Who knew you two would do this to me? With your small body, how many people can you beat?"

Song Yi remembered Ip Man's lines and joked with Song Suying, "I can beat ten of you who are so weak as me."

Song Suying glared at Song Yi and pinched his thigh, "You are so bold that you even dare to tease me. Believe it or not, I will tell Master's wife."

Song Yi begged for mercy quickly. He didn't dare to offend Song Suying now. After all, Song Suying had a lot of say among the top wives in Seoul.

Song So-young has a good personal relationship with the female family members of the five major conglomerates. Among her friends in the circle are Chen Boo-jin from the Samsung family, Zheng Eun-sun from the Hyundai family, Xu Mikyung from the Lotte family, and so on.

Seo Mi-kyung is the concubine of the founder of Lotte and a famous actress in Korea in the 1980s. She has a daughter, Shin Yu-mi. When she was young, Seo Mi-kyung looked pure and fashionable, a bit like a combination of Brigitte Lin and Michelle Reis.

She became the spokesperson for Lotte Candy when she was a teenager, and left the entertainment industry at the age of 22 to study in Japan. Song So-young is about the same age as her, two years younger than her, and did not discriminate against her because of her status as a concubine. Seo Mi-kyung owns a 730,000 square meter piece of land in North Gyeongsang Province, worth hundreds of billions of won, and holds a lot of shares in Japan's Lotte, making her a hidden female billionaire.

Seo Mi-kyung's daughter Shin Yoo-mi is 18 years old this year. Seo Mi-kyung asked Song So-young to introduce a boyfriend to her daughter. Although Shin Yoo-mi is the illegitimate daughter of the Lotte family, Seo Mi-kyung has a rich personal fortune, so Shin Yoo-mi has no shortage of suitors.

Song Suying and Song Yi mentioned it once, but Song Yi decisively refused. He had a general impression of the Lotte family. How could he agree to marry into the Lotte family? However, Song Yi was interested in the land under Xu Meijing's personal name. Xu Meijing's land was located in Seongju County, North Gyeongsang Province. Song Yi remembered that this piece of land was later developed into the Seongju Golf Course, and later deployed the THAAD system. After THAAD was introduced in South Korea, Lotte Group was boycotted by the Chinese people and lost in the Chinese market.

If Song Yi buys the land in advance, and if the US military in South Korea still wants to deploy the THAAD system, they will have to deal with Song Yi as a stumbling block. The land in South Korea is privately owned, and if Song Yi disagrees, no one can deploy THAAD on this land.

Song Yi said to Song Suying, "I want to buy a piece of land to build a golf course. I am interested in the land owned by Xu Meijing. If there is a chance, please introduce Xu Meijing to me."

Song Suying was skeptical. "Xu Meijing's land is almost in Daegu. It's so remote. Will anyone come to buy a golf course? Are you interested in Xu Meijing's land or Xu Meijing herself?"

Song Yi smiled bitterly, "Golf itself is an aristocratic sport. Only the rich and powerful can afford it. It's not a bad thing to be a little remote. If I build it near Seoul, government officials won't be able to go there from time to time to play a few rounds."

Song Suying put down her guard, "That's fine, if it's a normal business, I'll help you introduce someone, don't let me become a pimp, I see you are interested in other people's wives."

Before Song Yi had time to explain, his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone with a serious look, "Okay, I got it. I'll go to the company right away."

Song Suying asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there an accident at the company? Do you want me to drive you there?"

Song Yi thanked him, "No need, just drop me off on the side of the road and I'll call a taxi myself. Your car is rather conspicuous, there's no need to involve you."

Song Suying said to Song Yi, "You can buy a Hyundai or Samsung, the more ordinary the better, as a backup car. When you buy it, send the license plate to me and I will record it into the club's system. Then you can drive directly into the club's underground parking lot. Then you can go directly to the fifth floor, and you don't have to worry about being seen by others when you date Fuzhen."

Song Suying's considerations were quite thorough. If Song Suying drove and frequently took Song Yi in and out of the club, others would still suspect the relationship between Song Suying and Song Yi. If Song Yi drove in and out of the club by himself and used a dedicated passage, he would not meet other guests in the club and would naturally not arouse suspicion.

Song Yi nodded, "Okay, I'll contact you when I'm done, thank you Sister Suying."

After Song Yi got off the car, Song Suying wondered what had happened to Song Yi. Kim Tae-hee's new commercial for Samdasu was a huge success, and New Asia Entertainment signed Song Hye-kyo. Song Yi's career was going smoothly, so it must be that Eshan Group had encountered trouble? Song Suying wanted to call Jung Eun-sun to find out the situation and see if she could help, but then she thought better of it. Although Song Suying was the wife of the chairman of SK Group, she had no say in the specific business of SK Group.

Song Suying thought of Song Yi's words "You have to try to know whether your kung fu is good or not", and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Song Yi is really a perverted guy. He even dares to tease me. I wonder if he will behave himself in front of Zheng Enxuan?"

Song Suying turned on the car radio, and heard the news: "Former Hyundai Group Chairman Zhou Mengxian is suspected of providing huge amounts of secret funds to North Korea and is under investigation by the Seoul Prosecutors' Office." Song Suying frowned. It seems that Song Yi is in big trouble this time!

Song Yi rushed to Building 63, where Zheng Enxuan, Li Yizhi, Li Bingkui and Zhou Zhiyi were all waiting for him.

Song Yi first asked Li Bingkui, "Uncle Bingkui, where is Uncle Mengxian now?"

Li Bingkui obviously knew about the agreement between Zhou Mengxian and Song Yi. "He is currently under investigation by the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office and has not been released yet."

Song Yi asked Zheng Enxuan: "Which media first reported that Uncle Meng Xian provided secret funds to North Korea?"

Zheng Enxuan glanced at Song Yi and said, "SBS was the first to report it, and KBS and MBC followed up later. I guess the three major newspapers will follow up with the report tomorrow."

Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Since SBS reported it first, it meant that it was Zhou Mengxian himself who revealed the news to the media, and it was not exposed in advance by other forces. The situation was under control.

Zhou Zhiyi obviously didn't know about the agreement reached between Song Yi, Zhou Mengxian, and Zheng Enxuan. She was still worried about her father's fate. "Mom, Dad has been arrested and taken to the Procuratorate. Should we go visit him?"

Anyone who has watched Korean dramas knows that Korean prosecutors have enormous power. This is because prosecutors have had unrestrained power since the founding of South Korea.

Korean prosecutors have the power to investigate. If they feel a case is suspicious, whether it is a criminal case, a political case or an economic case, they can investigate it themselves, and they don't need the cooperation of the police department. If they feel they are short of manpower, they can also deploy police forces to cooperate with them.

In fact, the prosecutorial system is related to MacArthur, the first commander of the US forces in South Korea. MacArthur established the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office in Japan and the prosecutorial department in South Korea.

South Korean prosecutors are actually America's spies. As long as the South Korean president does not please the Americans, the prosecutors will investigate the president until the South Korean president is sent to jail.

After Park Dong-ho was elected president, he took back the prosecutors' investigative powers before leaving office, which led to a conflict with then-Prosecutor General Lek Seok-ik. After Lek Seok-ik was elected president, he investigated Park Dong-ho several times, but still could not find any evidence against him.

The current situation is that Zheng Enxuan, Li Bingkui, and Song Yi all know that Zhou Mengxian reported them himself. Li Yiji should be able to guess something, but only Zhou Zhiyi, who doesn't know the inside story, looks anxious.

Song Yi comforted Zhou Zhiyi, "Don't worry, Uncle Mengxian was invited by the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office to investigate, right?"

Zhou Zhiyi nodded, "Yes. Dad was resting in the villa at the time, and the procuratorate showed his ID when they came to the door."

Song Yi said: "My friend's father is the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. I will ask her for information first to see how serious the problem is."

When Zhou Zhengyong ran for the South Korean presidency in 1992, his political opponents revealed that he had misappropriated Hyundai Group's funds for his campaign. In the end, Zhou Mengxian had to take it all on his own. He was sentenced to one year in prison and was released six months early. Zhou Mengxian's family has been able to bear it enough.

Li Bingkui asked with concern: "Is your friend reliable? If the relationship is just average, don't ask about it. If people find out, you will be accused of interfering with the judiciary."

Song Yi said: "She is Tae Hee's best friend and currently works in the SBS News Department. Her parents and I are quite familiar with each other."

Lee Hyun-jin's father, Lee Sang-dae, is the prosecutor general of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office. He is a non-partisan with a vague political inclination, but he has strong personal abilities and is also a top student who graduated from the Seoul University Law School.

Song Yi asked Zheng Enxuan, "Did the Blue House and North Korea call?"

Zhou Zhiyi was confused. "Why did the Blue House call? My father's misappropriation of Hyundai Group's funds has anything to do with the Blue House?"

Li Yizhi sighed and explained to Zhou Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, Chairman Mengxian provided secret funds to North Korea, and the old chairman and President Zhong were both aware of it."

"Chairman Meng Xian provided North Korea with $500 million in secret funds, and North Korea agreed to hold the North Korea-ROK summit. The government provided Hyundai Group with a low-interest loan of $500 million. If this matter had not been exposed, the Blue House would have provided Asan Group with a low-interest loan of $2 billion to maintain economic cooperation between North and South Korea. Now that the matter has been exposed, the subsequent $2 billion loan will also be gone," Li Yizhi explained.

Li Yizhi was previously the president of Hyundai Securities and Zhou Mengxian's absolute confidant. After leaving Hyundai Securities, Li Yizhi also served as the president of Hyundai Esan.

When Song Yi heard what Li Yizhi said, he compared it with the information he had previously learned and knew that Li Yizhi was right.

Zhou Mengxian chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building in 2003 for two reasons: first, he was under great psychological pressure due to frequent investigations by the prosecutors; second, he felt that he had failed to keep Hyundai Eshan running smoothly and that he had failed his father Zhou Zhengyong’s expectations. The loss of the $2 billion low-interest loan was the last straw that broke the camel’s back for Zhou Mengxian.

Song Yi had an idea in mind. "The DPRK didn't call. They must have just received the news. After all, the DPRK and South Korea have not established diplomatic relations, and they have no way to protest to the Blue House through diplomatic channels. They should be more worried about whether the two projects, Mount Kumgang Tourist Area and Kaesong Industrial Park, can continue to be maintained."

"As for the fact that the Blue House has not called yet, I guess our President Zhong is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He doesn't know how to deal with it, and he doesn't know who to contact. Uncle Bingkui, please contact the chief secretary of the Blue House. I want to meet him, and he will decide the location." Song Yi ordered.

Li Bingkui bowed and said, "Okay, Director Song."

Zheng Enxuan asked Song Yi, "Do you want to go to the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office to visit Mengxian?" Zheng Enxuan and Zhou Mengxian have been married for many years, but she is still a little worried about his safety.

Li Yizhi asked Zheng Enxuan, "Chairman, should our group issue an announcement to the public? To stabilize the company's stock price?"

Zheng Enxuan looked at Song Yi. Whether to implement the separation plan or not was in Song Yi's hands. Zhou Mengxian did not hold any position in Eshan Group, nor did he hold any shares. Logically speaking, if Zhou Mengxian got into trouble, it had nothing to do with Eshan Group.

Song Yi thought about it for a while, "If the prosecutors really ask something, Uncle Yizhi will probably be asked to investigate by the prosecutors. Since the prosecutors don't have any substantial evidence, if we rush to distance ourselves from Uncle Mengxian, we will inevitably be criticized for being cold-blooded. Let's wait and see for a few days."

Zheng Enxuan also agreed with Song Yi's point of view. Now that Song Yi had returned to Eshan, she had a backbone. She thought for a while and said, "How about this, Xiaoyi stays here, and we will discuss it first. You go back to work first, and I will inform you of any new developments."

Li Yizhi glanced at Song Yi with some dissatisfaction. He was Zhou Mengxian's top confidant and the executive director of Eshan Group. As a result, when Zheng Enxuan and Li Bingkui discussed things, they first considered Song Yi's opinion. A woman in charge is like a hen crowing at dawn. What great things can be accomplished with a woman's kindness? Song Yi stayed and looked at Zheng Enxuan's chairman's office. It was also his first time to come to Zheng Enxuan's office.

Eshan Group rented floors 9 to 11 of Building 63 as its headquarters office building. Zheng Enxuan's chairman's office is located on the 11th floor, next to it is Song Yi's executive director's office. Song Yi's office used to be Lee Byung-kyu's office, and Lee Byung-kyu also served as the secretary-general in Eshan Group.

Zheng Enxuan made a cup of tea for Song Yi, and the two of them sat in front of the French window in the office and chatted. "Why didn't you agree with Li Yizhi's announcement of clarification?"

Song Yi took the teacup and said, "Once the news that Uncle Mengxian provided secret funds to North Korea is exposed, the share prices of Eshan Group and Hyundai Group will be affected."

"In fact, we can take advantage of the low stock price of Eshan Group and buy some shares first," Song Yi suggested.

"Will this be suspected of stock manipulation?" Zheng Enxuan asked worriedly.

"If we buy stocks and then sell them after the group issues a clarification announcement and the stock price goes up, we will certainly be suspected of manipulating the stock price. But what if we don't sell the stocks?" Song Yi asked in return.

"If we don't sell the stocks, we can use the excuse that we are buying back stocks to stabilize the share price of Eshan Group. This is of course no problem, but we don't have much funds in our group's accounts," said Zheng Enxuan.

"Of course I know what you said, but we have no money and the government does. Didn't Zhong Xiaotong say that he would provide Hyundai Eshan with a loan of 2 billion US dollars? If he doesn't want Uncle Meng Xian to talk nonsense in the Procuratorate, he should find a way to provide us with follow-up funds." Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan looked at Song Yi. She knew that Song Yi was bold, but she didn't expect that Song Yi was so bold that he dared to take the idea of ​​the $2 billion low-interest loan. Isn't this blackmailing the current president? "But the president is now eager to cut off his relationship with Eshan Group. How could he agree to issue a low-interest loan to Eshan Group?" Zheng Enxuan was a little tempted. Zhou Mengxian transferred all the shares of Eshan Group to her and her children. The total equity of this part was only about 8 points.

The current market value of Eshan Group is 1 trillion won, or about 800 million US dollars. With only 200 million US dollars, Zheng Enxuan and Song Yi can jointly gain absolute control of Eshan Group.

"Of course, Zhong Xiaotong can't lend money to Eshan Group, but he may lend money to Xinya Entertainment in the name of making movies or TV series. Movies and TV series are the best tools. For a movie worth 4 billion won, I can make a budget of several hundred billion won for it." Song Yi told his plan.

Zheng Enxuan heard that Zhou Mengxian took the risk, and as a result, New Asia Entertainment got a low-interest loan, and then used the money to buy the shares of Eshan Group. At that time, will Eshan Group be surnamed Zhou or Song? Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? Song Yi said to Zheng Enxuan: "Aunt, don't worry, as long as New Asia Entertainment gets this low-interest loan, our company will lend you a sum of money to help you buy the shares of Eshan Group."

"After the share price of Eshan Group recovers, you can sell some shares and then repay the loan from New Asia Entertainment," said Song Yi.

Zheng Enxuan was very cautious. "All of this is based on the premise that the share price of Eshan Group can continue to rise. If the share price of Eshan Group falls, how can I repay the loan from Xinya Entertainment? Let me think about it. You are such a smart person. You will definitely let me use the shares of Eshan Group as collateral. If I can't repay the loan, you can still get the shares of Eshan Group that I hold, right?"

Song Yi complained, "Aunt, you are wronging me by saying that. Eshan Group is a family business. Why do I want the controlling stake in Eshan Group? Even if I become a major shareholder of Eshan Group, do you think Li Yizhi and the others will listen to me?"

"I just think this is a good opportunity to get a low-interest loan that can help you truly control the Eshan Group without being constrained by other major shareholders. In this way, I personally promise that I will not absorb more than half of your shares of the Eshan Group. For example, if you buy 10% of the Eshan Group shares, I will buy at most 5%. In this way, you can trust me, right?" Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan thought about it and realized that Song Yi currently holds 2% of Eshan Group's shares, and Zheng Enxuan holds a total of 8%.

200 million US dollars can buy 24% of Eshan Group's shares. If Song Yi follows his plan, he will only hold 10% of Eshan Group's shares at most, which still cannot threaten Zheng Enxuan's position as a major shareholder.

Zheng Enxuan thought about it, and the temptation of being able to fully control the Eshan Group prevailed. She reminded Song Yi, "Xiaoyi, I agreed to your cooperation plan because I trust you. If the loan is approved and you violate the agreement between us, I will ask other family members for help. You have to consider whether you can withstand the revenge of the entire family."

Zheng Enxuan became the chairman of Eshan Group, and the modern family was worried that the modern family's assets would flow into the hands of outsiders. If Song Yi became a major shareholder of Eshan Group, Song Yi would definitely be attacked by the modern family.

Song Yi and Zheng Enxuan sat face to face. He stretched out his hands and held Zheng Enxuan's hands tightly. "Aunt, I promised Uncle Mengxian a long time ago that if he went to jail, I would take good care of you and Zhiyi for him. How could I take advantage of his absence and seize your property?"

See you tomorrow. Thank you for your support. 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
