Gender Reversal Politics

14. Planning

Difficult, no, not to the extent of muddled. Because a lot of people have come to know. Not even that, because of the coin distrust triggered by Mana, hundreds of trillions of dollars evaporated from the entire virtual currency market.

Even in the midst of the opening of the National Assembly, the opening day of the National Assembly is getting closer.

The beginning of the journey for temporary workers with guaranteed four-year tenure.

The start is always exciting, but there was no such romantic excitement in the National Assembly. It was because people’s expectations were low anyway.

‘It’ll be especially low this time.’

But no matter how bizarre the situation was, it had to be done.

Two days before the start of term.

I finally hired a chief of staff. It should have been done about two weeks ago, but it has been delayed until now because the first nominee was Ganja.

“You shouldn’t call me senior. From now on, I will set the rank properly. Senator.”

“It doesn’t matter what the title is.”

“No. It is right to keep what you want to protect.”

A tall woman who corrects her title while looking at me bluntly. She was a beauty with her brown hair neatly tied back in a ponytail.

A friend named Aram Shin. She was twenty-seven, a year younger than me.

She was a child who completed military service at SDT, and she was unusually a child who even came out as a professional sergeant. She had a lot to teach her successors, so she had no choice. Just looking at this anecdote, I could get a rough idea of what kind of character she was.

A man shouldn’t judge his military career carelessly, but it was an established theory that a person who had a hard life in the military could adapt to the work of the parliamentarian’s office relatively easily.

However, it wasn’t necessarily because of that, there was a personal connection.

Graduated from the same university. She and she also worked together in Hyeri’s office for a year. She was short-lived, but she had good attendance. In other legislators’ offices, they used to record in detail even the expenditure of food expenses that were roughly crushed and passed by, and left evidence.

There are many people who feel burdened because of that, but I didn’t even know it was the type of aide I needed.

‘Ability is also an ability, but right now, someone who can be trusted is the right person.’

It is unknown how many lawmakers were bought with Kwon Ye-sol’s money. It was forbidden to entrust the management of the office to just anyone.

“Rep. Suho Lee. Isn’t level 4 a little early for my age?”

“I’m only one year older than you, but that’s a courtesy worthy of a minister. Now is not the time to judge your age, so put it aside…. By the way, I’m sorry for entrusting you with such a heavy responsibility a few days before the opening. There are not many people to trust now.”

“I see what you mean…. It seems that the name of the congressman is often mentioned.”

“There are many people who resent me for escaping from hell alone. There are even many people who curse that the collapse has been accelerated because of me and Congressman Na Hye-ri.”

“Yes, I understand without having to explain.”

I seemed to know roughly what kind of situation I was in. It was fortunate that I didn’t have to ask him to be careful every phrase.

“Aide Shin A-ram. There are not one or two things to do in the future. We need to recruit secretaries and prepare a special meeting schedule. Oh, let’s hire the media person sometime today.”

“Yes. Congressman. By the way, where did you aspire to be on the standing committee?”

“The Education Committee or the Culture and Sports Committee. We will soon find a person in charge of the standing committee.”

After having a standard conversation, I felt like I was out of the mana avalanche for a moment.

Actually, this is a normal situation. Somehow, I was involved in the Manacoin incident, but my main job is a member of the National Assembly as a proportional representative of the ruling Peace Party.

Although he was elected with the number 19 pull-up, he was not less responsible than others. Rather, he intended to work harder than other members of Congress.

‘No. It’s the same situation now, so I should rather work hard.’

It was true that the Mana Crash left huge aftereffects.

Millions of investors around the world have lost their fortunes, and several companies that have invested in the Stellar-Mana ecosystem are on the brink of bankruptcy. There were even people who created a sense of crisis that the financial crisis might be reproduced because of Manacoin.

However, I didn’t think the crisis would ruin my career.

Then, wouldn’t it be right to keep as far away as possible and focus on parliamentary activities? While watching the lawmakers involved with Kwon Ye-sol and her friend Rain being dragged away.

Gold badges don’t go unnoticed, so it will be very noisy for a while, but that will gradually be sorted out.

“I have to do as much as I can. The more the situation is like this.”

Looking at the 45-pyeong council room, I reflected on my determination. Since we got out of the catastrophe ahead of time, shouldn’t we work hard?

“Yes. Congressman. I will assist to the best of my ability.”

While we are reminiscing about our noble resolutions-.

– Is it a mistake of a genius or the downfall of a con artist? Ye-Sol Kwon, CEO of Mana Finance, claimed on Twitter that he had never made any financial gains, and that he had lost all of his coin property, which was close to $7 billion.

On the broadcast, there were reports about mana all day long.

Kwon Ye-sol seems to be claiming something, but what is losing everything? Most likely she got her share in some way.

There were rumors that she withdrew the bitcoins she was holding to defend the price of Stellar-Mana, and rumors were circulating that she had a large amount of coins that correspond 1 to 1 with the dollar. There was also a strong theory that she was staying in Singapore, not Korea.

‘I need to secure that female recruit first so that things can be resolved quickly.’

Unfortunately, it was only possible in a novel that a swindler could be caught quickly.

To be honest, the anger of investors had not materialized yet. I wonder if everyone can’t feel the fact that Article 59 disappeared in an instant?

There are many investors who are impatient to know Kwon Ye-sol, but… She seemed to have quite a few people who still had expectations of her.

It was meaningless, but I understood it emotionally. Even after losing money, there must be one or two people who are on the side of the scammers without acknowledging the reality. Whatever Kwon Ye-sol said was just bullsh*t.

But there was one sound that I couldn’t hear.

It was an argument related to short selling.

– CEO Kwon Ye-sol claimed that the mass short selling of Stellar-Mana right before her collapse was the work of an insider. It is said that an investor who colluded with an insider artificially encouraged a decline in the market price by releasing short sales. Still the truth….

It seemed that insiders and short sellers were joking around and insisting that mana had collapsed.

In fact, there must be someone who made a profit by shorting right before mana collapsed. It could be that an intentional large-scale dumping caused the collapse. Even if it wasn’t for that, it would have collapsed sooner or later, but there is a possibility that it could have been moved forward.

“Do you want to place the blame on the short sellers?”

“That’s a common sense guess. That will reduce your responsibility.”

In the meantime, a subtle doubt came to my mind. It was a suspicion that Kwon Ye-sol’s argument about short selling might have a different intention.

*

…I hoped otherwise, but it wasn’t long before my suspicions were confirmed.

“Rep. Suho Lee. An article appeared.”

“I am watching too.”

Starting with Kwon Ye-sol’s claim, articles analyzing the reason for the collapse of mana began to pour in almost bombing levels.

The contents were relatively simple.

The in-house lawyer who worked for Kwon Ye-sol at Mana Finance planned a short selling attack with a hedge fund. Did you catch the timing when the price defense function was temporarily weakened and inform the short selling forces?

Due to the nature of algorithm-based stablecoins operated without collateral, they are inevitably more vulnerable to fear, but they said they attacked it.

It was not strange that Kwon Ye-sol was stabbed in the back of her head.

‘Did the staff say they wouldn’t even answer if I asked them in Korean? When I think of his behavior, it’s rather strange that he’s not hit on the back of the head by his aides.’

By the way, she said that there were Koreans who made huge profits by riding the bus in the short sale. It is thanks to the lawyer who betrayed Kwon Ye-sol, who scattered her information, saying it was an “Opportunity to make a lot of money.”

『The bare face of the elites of Korean society』

“Are there any huge profits from internal information while the lost people are wailing? Ex-members of the National Assembly, children of current members of the National Assembly, lawyers from deputy chief prosecutors, and current police officers are mentioned. If the truth is revealed, the wave will increase』

Current and former public officials who made huge profits by shorting right before the collapse of Manacoin. The real name has not been mentioned yet, but looking at the contents of the article, it seems that it has been roughly identified.

Perhaps he didn’t reveal it on purpose. Because there are stages in disclosure.

“It should be seen as a typical build-up. First of all, you have to light the fire, attract attention, and then expose the real name to increase the firepower.”

“It is said that there are police officers among the public officials who received inside information.”

“… Okay.”

“Me, Congressman. As far as I know.”

Shin Ah-ram looked back at me with a faintly tense look. Even though I’m from a family of cops, it was too much of an overstatement to look at me just because I was a cop.

The number of police officers is a whopping 130,000.

The number of executives was smaller. Of course, lieutenants and inspectors are also executives, but if they are openly called police executives in the news, they will be more than a senior police officer. However, there was one of those high-ranking people who had a close relationship with me.

Lee So-jin, a former police officer and one of only four police officers in Korea. He was the protagonist of human victory, but somehow he had no respect at all.

And, despite the fact that she gave birth to me, she was also a mother who always felt distant.

“Yes. My mother is a cop.”

“Yes.”

Shin A-ram let out a low sigh and turned her head away.

Now that you’re my aide, you might say, “Probably not,” But he didn’t. Since we’ve known each other before, he must have a rough idea of what my relationship with my mother is like. You know I’m already assuming the worst.

‘Maybe all of this could be a plan. It could be that they picked out the last thing that would collapse anyway and even selected those who will serve as cannon fodder.’

So far, it’s just a stage of doubt, but unfortunately, this kind of doubt rarely goes astray. It is the political sphere where corruption and conspiracies often come out in large numbers if you dig into the dirty places.

In a sense, there has never been a world as honest as this floor.
