Chapter 456: Powerless Members of Parliament
Quan Jae-jun brought someone with him and started checking the entire conference room with instruments to see if there were any eavesdropping or recording devices.
Strictly speaking, what he did was extremely offensive, but this was done under the orders of Lee Woo, and the leader of the Grand National Party, Lee Yeon-chang, was also smiling. The lawmakers could only swallow their anger for the time being and began to watch coldly, waiting to see what was going on.
After completing the inspection, Quan Jae-jun shook his head at Li You, and after confirming that those things were not here, he bowed and led his men out.
The only person left by Li You's side was his secretary, Li Youmo, who was holding a pile of documents.
Li You waved his hand, "Division."
Li Youmo walked to the deepest part and distributed documents to the congressmen starting with Li Lianchang.
The content is very simple, it's about Choi Young-shin and the OZ organization, as well as the plan to lure the murderer and so on.
Cho Tae-seop was one of the first few congressmen to get the document, and he eagerly opened it and began to read it.
The expressions of these people changed immediately. They continued to turn the pages and saw real photos printed on the back.
The public opinion news instigated by Choi Young-shin were also collected and organized together.
When other members of parliament saw this, almost everyone present was silent.
They did not doubt the authenticity of the document because there was no need to doubt it.
The person who brought the documents was Li You, chairman of the Kinmen Group. It was the party leader Li Lianchang who tacitly allowed Li You to do these things in the conference room and even took the initiative to ask Li You to distribute the documents.
There was no need for these two people to make up such a thing to discredit Choi Young-shin.
If this gets exposed, it will not benefit any of the members of their Grand National Party, not to mention Lee Lianchang who will be running for the next president at the end of the year.
However, based on the way the matter was handled, these old hands have begun to suspect that Choi Young-shin was killed by the two people who took over the meeting room.
Instead, they felt less sympathy and regret in their hearts and more grateful that this incident did not affect them.
Zhao Tae-seop read the entire document with a frown. While staring at the document, he began to wonder how he could get through this crisis.
However, Zhao Taixie soon realized that Li You and Li Lianchang threw out this document obviously not for these people from the Grand National Party to deal with, but rather it was more like an excuse.
After Zhao Taixie thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized it.
Any single congressman who wants to deal with this matter is not qualified enough. After all, there are several murderers involved, dozens or even hundreds of lives, and minors are involved.
Not to mention the multiple privacy violations.
Li You and Li Lianchang must have thought of a solution long ago. They intended to reveal the truth about these things in this meeting. In addition to making the Grand National Party members united against a common enemy, it was also to ensure that the benefits would fall to the two of them.
When Zhao Taixie thought about this, Li You's purpose of coming here became very clear. To put it bluntly, it was to get that seat as a member of parliament.
Many people present thought of this, and they had given up most of their thoughts on Choi Young-shin's position. Although the councillors seemed to be quite determined, they actually had many, many things in their minds...
Even though Li You sat there quietly, he neither took the initiative to ask for anything nor patted his chest to guarantee that he would solve the problem.
But now that he is sitting here, the meaning is very clear.
Seeing that no one was talking, Li Lianchang came out and spoke first, "It seems that everyone has finished watching."
He said solemnly, "From everyone's expressions, I think you all know what this means."
"Manipulating secret organizations and artificially creating killers, just to implement the Gene Act?" He slammed the table hard, shaking the coffee cup. "Do you think that the people killed by the killer will be remembered by the public as us?"
"There are more and more conspiracy theories now," Li Lianchang took off his glasses and rubbed his temples pretending to have a headache. "Even if Choi Young-shin is arrested and imprisoned, many people will think that we let her do these things."
He pointed at the congressmen one by one, "When the time comes, it won't just be me who will be affected. None of us will be able to escape responsibility."
"What should we do?" Zhao Taixie deliberately acted as a supporting role and asked this key question.
Li Lianchang glanced at him with some approval hidden in his eyes.
He patted the document in front of him again, with a lot less force, "What we should do most now is to eliminate this Oz organization. This is also why I asked Chairman Li to come here."
Li Lianchang smiled and nodded at Li You, and the two greeted each other.
"Currently, Choi Young-shin has just died in an accident. The OZ organization has lost the person who brainwashed them, and is now in disarray," Li Lianchang said confidently, even though he didn't know how Li You would do it. "Clean them up. As long as everyone keeps the secret strictly, there will be no problem."
"In addition," Li Lianchang narrowed his eyes, "With Chairman Li here, we can also avoid to the greatest extent possible someone maliciously using public opinion to cause a negative impact."
This is a reminder to those present here.
After talking about what to do, we will move on to the more important stage of dividing the benefits.
Li Lianchang looked around and thought about his next words. His words gradually became calmer. He pointed to Li You's side, which was also pointing to Choi Young-shin's position, and raised something that the congressmen were also concerned about. "Another thing is that we need to elect another congressman for Choi Young-shin's vacant seat."
Seeing that these congressmen were all shrinking their necks obediently, Li Lianchang smiled with satisfaction, "We now have two candidates."
At this moment before he opened his mouth, Li Lianchang also thought of a lot of things.
The cooperation between him and Li You made others think that he and Li You were equals, instead of Li You relying on him as before.
Think back then.
Li Lianchang did not think about the past, but just felt sad in his heart that Li You had only developed for a few years, and he had gone from a small figure whom he took care of casually to Chairman Li who was on an equal footing with him, and had shown his sharp fangs.
His ability to ride on the wind is truly unparalleled.
Li Lianchang was silent for only a few seconds. After quickly analyzing the pros and cons in his mind, he spoke decisively, "One is the current mayor of Seoul, Choi Chang-di."
"The other one is the former director of the secretary's office of the chairman of Shunyang Group, Li Mingxue."
There is nothing wrong with the former, but the latter has a bit of the meaning of supporting one's own family.
The expressions of the congressmen present varied, but they were thinking roughly the same thing.
The first and foremost point is which of these two people can bring them greater benefits.
Many people secretly glanced at Li You and sighed secretly. Li You did not speak. These two people probably also wanted Li You.
"Party leader," Cho Tae-seop began, "Is Mayor Choi really willing to come?"
It makes sense for him to ask this, as Choi Changdi, the current mayor, actually has a very simple path.
One is to run for president, the other is to seek re-election as mayor.
After all, the mayor is usually a candidate for the next presidential election, but this time Choi Changdi took the initiative to give up.
What puzzles many people is that Choi Chang-di has not given any indication that he will continue to run for mayor of Seoul and seek re-election.
That's strange.
"Everyone has seen Mayor Choi's ability," Cho Tae-seop said with a frown. "Seoul's World Cup New Town and World Cup Park are both very well done. I've also taken a walk in the park in my spare time. The environment there is really great."
"This is the best political achievement. Mayor Cui really has no idea now?"
"No," Li You said. After he returned home last night, he called Emperor Cui Chang and talked for a long time.
Li You confirmed that Emperor Cui Changdi was not joking.
Because Emperor Cui Chang is indeed an outlier in the political arena, he decisively gave up the two seemingly brighter futures and chose to calm down.
The position of mayor of Seoul has always been a position that both the opposition and the ruling party have to fight for.
Although he ran for mayor of Seoul later and participated in the presidential election first, the time between their taking office was not much different.
The ruling party hopes that its own people will take office to consolidate the new president's position and better cooperate in the implementation of various government orders.
Moreover, the mayor of Seoul is also a candidate for the next president, which will be more beneficial to the next presidential election.
The opposition party is also eager to take this position. If they lose the presidential election, at least they will have a better chance of winning the next presidential election, and they can also use the position of mayor of Seoul to compete with the ruling party politically.
But Emperor Cui Chang was different.
He is a non-partisan and came from the prosecutorial system. When he was a prosecutor-general, Choi Chang-eop left the prosecutorial system due to his popularity and successfully became the mayor of Seoul.
This made both sides keep an eye on him, and when he took office as mayor of Seoul, he could not join either side at will.
Emperor Cui Chang decided to settle down and work hard to gain experience. Even though he had been mayor for four years, he was only about to turn 40. For him, his political career had just begun.
Simply put, calm down.
"In that case." Zhao Taixie nodded thoughtfully, "Since Mayor Cui is willing to transform, it is really good news for us."
Li You said calmly, "If things go well, Li Mingxue will participate in the mayoral election as a representative of the Grand National Party."
"What?" A member of the parliament asked, "Li Mingxue is going? Then we..."
He didn’t say it out loud, but he felt that this was a direct abandonment of the election for mayor of Seoul.
"This is the candidate that President Li and I discussed," Li Lianchang said with a smile, "If you have any questions or opinions, please raise them and we can discuss them together."
"About Li Mingxue," Zhao Taixie was a little puzzled, "Isn't his resume a little too thin?"
"Do you know who is running for mayor?" Li Lianchang laughed. "It's Zhu Mengzhun from the Daying Zhu family. As a direct descendant of the Daying Zhu family, he can run for election, so why don't we put forward someone who can compete with him?"
"Li Mingxue has followed Chen Yangzhe of Shunyang Group for 27 years. He started to follow Chen Yangzhe when he was 19 years old. He was the person Chen Yangzhe trusted most before his death. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was Chen Yangzhe's adopted son," Li Lianchang emphasized. "Everyone has seen the disintegration of Shunyang in recent years. Even Shunyang Securities has been acquired by Chairman Li. People all know that these two unpromising sons of the Chen family have made Shunyang worse."
"Then as Chen Yangzhe's most trusted person, with some achievements in government and Mayor Cui's recommendation and support, why can't he come out and compete with the people in the camp?"
"Political achievements are easy to achieve," Li You said openly. "If you want political achievements, you can find them everywhere."
“.”
Many members of parliament were choked. As members of parliament, they did not need political achievements much, but those real officials regarded political achievements as more important than anything else. Li You then said that political achievements could be seen everywhere, and it was no wonder that they remained silent.
Li You is in charge of a terrifying number of community construction projects and welfare institutions, as well as all kinds of miscellaneous things. It is too easy to attribute political achievements to an official.
Li Lianchang coughed, feeling that what Li You said was a bit too straightforward.
"In that case, I'll leave the affairs of the OZ organization to President Li."
Li You stood up and shook his hand, "Don't worry, Congressman."
Zhao Taixie looked at Li You who was leaving, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he could borrow Li You's power, his political career might be smoother. However, although Li You had a good relationship with him now, he was still closer to Li Lianchang, so he had no way to borrow his power.
After expressing his feelings for a while, Zhao Taixie didn't bother to care about other people's problems. Li Lianchang kept him after the meeting and discussed some important matters within the Grand National Party with him.
At present, Cho Tae-seop is like a fish in water in the Grand National Party and has been trusted by Lee Lianchang. This is why Lee Lianchang recommended him to Lee Woo before.
Li You left here and let Quan Jae-jun take action.
The name of the Oz organization is quite meaningful, but most of its members were ordinary people before.
After causing Choi Young-shin's car accident last night, Jeon Jae-joon went to Choi Young-shin's office as instructed by Lee Woo and stole the confidential personnel files.
The number of people in the OZ organization is pitifully small, even the police are few, and most of them are ordinary people from all walks of life, such as doctors, nurses, etc. They are good at delivering messages, but they definitely cannot do it if you ask them to be like special agents.
Li You didn't need to kill them all. He only needed to capture those at higher levels. It didn't matter if he cut off their connections. They didn't know each other's identities anyway.
A rootless duckweed is nothing to be afraid of.
Li You doesn't need to tell Jeon Jae-jun to do it more cleanly, he will do it cleanly on his own.
Originally, Li You had thought about whether to get rid of OZ so quickly. After all, this organization did not pose a threat to him, and its model was quite interesting.
But not keeping anything has its advantages; it is clean and has no consequences.
The benefits of staying are obviously much smaller. The Oz organization is an organization with strange ideas and thoughts. What they pursue is to build a utopian country without crime. Li You's ideas are naturally opposed to theirs. For such people who can be said to be fanatical believers, even if Li You has no grudges against them, don't expect them to give in.
