Gender Reversal Politics

18. Conditions

The opening date of the National Assembly.

Lawmakers were crowded in the huge conference hall with seats arranged in a fan shape.

The ruling and first party, the Peace Party, and the opposition Liberal Party. And even the Mini-Me party, which is weak compared to the two huge parties.

Now they are getting together and strengthening their friendship. It’s a common scene, but considering the current situation, it was something strange.

‘It’s normal to have the atmosphere of a funeral home by now. They’re great.’

Na Hye-ri, 3rd in the Peace Party, muttered while looking at the ladies who looked like athletes.

She

She was not sarcastic, but genuinely admired the mentality of her colleagues.

A situation in which 59 trillion evaporated in Manacoin alone, and hundreds of trillion were additionally evaporated due to the general weakness in the virtual currency market caused by the collapse.

Even now, screams continued from all over the world. A few days ago, a controversy arose when an American YouTuber took his life during a live broadcast.

The problem is that some members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea are responsible for the tragedy. It was unknown how many people received bribes directly or indirectly from Kwon Ye-sol.

Still, everyone was oddly relaxed. Even the lawmakers whose circumstances have already been revealed.

Maybe he was bluffing.

The brazenness of shouting “This is an unfair political offensive!” Even right before arrest was a necessary virtue for a political tribe.

But even taking that into account, their composure was strange. It’s not that the head is turning like that, but there must be a corner to believe it. What is it?

In a normal situation, you could just ask the people involved, but it was difficult now.

These days, Na Hye-ri has been going through untimely humiliation.

Of course, it was because she was persuaded by Suho Lee and attacked the mana coin.

Na Hye-ri’s political assets have not changed. She is the sacred bone of the Peace Party, the 4th ranking member of the National Assembly.

But now he was being cunningly ostracized.

“Oh, Congressman Na Hye-ri. I’m sorry, but the appointment of the chairman of the political affairs committee has never happened. Aren’t Manacoin investors in a frenzy? In the meantime, there is a saying that it is a bit so when Congressman Na Hye-ri takes the head of the standing committee related to the financial sector, such as the Political Affairs Committee. I think you should aim for the second half.”

It’s kind of like that. It was as if the honey dripping chairperson position was taken away for a strange reason. Even the reason was the frenzy of Manacoin investors.

She was even scolded for doing something she shouldn’t have done. She was dumbfounded because it was the first time this had happened to her.

Do they really think they can avoid the aftermath of the Manacoin crash?

It is said that if many people get along well, you can bury any gate… Manacoin was not something that could be solved by crushing it like other scandals.

‘These things, what the hell do they believe in?’

After a while, Hyeri was able to resolve that question.

『Seven public officials who speculated on short selling with inside information, will Pandora’s box open?』

I seemed to believe this. The scapegoat was revealed today.

The situation has already been called the “Seven Short Sellers.”

On the surface, it is said that ‘the lawyer who betrayed Kwon Ye-sol handed over inside information to those in power and was guaranteed safety in order to live alone’, but in reality it could not be. How many of them must have been sacrificed?

Still, the roster was plausible.

A former member of the Peace Party and a child of a re-elected member of the Liberal Party.

In addition, a lawyer from the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office’s Financial Investigation Department, and the husband of a high-ranking member of the Financial Services Commission, and so on.

It is not at all that Manacoin collapsed just because Korean politicians, lawyers, and public officials were short-selling, but they were somehow suitable to be used as scapegoats.

Among them, Na Hye-ri knew someone from across Handa Bridge.

Inspector Lee So-jin.

Among the 7 short sellers, he was on the low side, but his firepower might have been the greatest.

It was because her son was Lee Soo-ho, who had escaped before the Manacoin collapsed.

Where else in the world could there be a mother like this?

There are many parents who stand in the way of their children. However, it was the first time that a mother operated on her child in such a creative way. I never thought that her son and his boss would sell short to make their own money while hitting Mana Coins.

‘What a b*tch… Even me looks messy.’

Could it be that the disgust is excessive? There wasn’t even a laugh out of it.

Na Hye-ri knew roughly what kind of person Lee So-jin was. There is something I came across while playing rounds with Suho Lee every weekend. It’s not that Suho didn’t tell her mother’s whereabouts, but she noticed something. However, I didn’t know how much it was.

Na Hye-ri had a hard expression and she looked at the seat in front of Chairman Bon-hee.

The seating arrangement in the conference hall is unconditionally random.

The front seats were crowded with first-timers. In particular, Lee Soo-ho, who was young even at his age, was given a front seat to the extent that even the wrinkles of the National Assembly speaker could be seen. As soon as he debuted in the National Assembly, he was shot, so he must have been very surprised by now…

“Huh?”

For some reason, Suho Lee was nowhere to be seen.

I’m sure he didn’t run away. Avoiding now would be like confessing to being his mother’s accomplice. I didn’t think I would have guessed that much.

Around the time when doubts were rising.

[Sorry for the unintentional inconvenience. I will explain in detail later.]

It was a message from Suho Lee. He’s sure the kid is up to something, but he’s still not quite sure what it is.

*

These bastards eventually exploded on the opening day of the National Assembly.

There’s no other timing than today. Until now, the Peace Party leadership used to delay discussions on Mana Coin with the excuse that “It is not a session of the National Assembly.” But now there was no excuse for that.

‘At this point, I’m going to use the short selling participants as a tool to divert attention.’

If I had been dazed like an idiot, it might have worked.

Considering the perception of short selling of virtual currency, it must have been more so. Even more people would be outraged by the fact that there is no statute to punish humans who do this. For a stopgap, it was complied with.

Now it was our turn to respond.

Where I am right now is the councilor’s office. It was like she was absent from the subject, but she didn’t seem to have to worry. People who are impatient will be coming to me on their own.

“Rep. Suho Lee. There is?”

“Come out!”

Shortly thereafter, reporters, and a lot of them, came in droves and called me out.

Female reporters staring at me with soggy expressions. There was even a person holding on to the collar.

Normally, female journalists did not attack male politicians aggressively. Because women and men are different. But now, if I didn’t respond to the interview, they were going to hit me with their smartphone.

Whatever the intentions of the reporters, I welcomed them with pleasure.

And, before the aggressive questions poured out, I decided to give them what they wanted.

“Rep. Suho Lee, short selling!”

“Yes. My mother was short selling before the Manacoin crash. We can also reveal the details here.”

“Uh.”

“The sale price is 89,000 won per unit, and the repurchase price is… I don’t think I need to tell you. In fact, it’s like 0 won, isn’t it? The revenue earned by the mother is approximately 30.5 Billion. It was because she used leverage hard.”

“… No, are you saying that you’re proud of it?”

“I am not bragging. She also acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and said she would take responsibility. Although she did not violate the law, in fact, the fact that the law to regulate such acts is insufficient is itself a problem.”

“What do you mean by responsibility?”

“My mother sent me all of her proceeds from this time. She can’t say that she’s done her responsibility, but she made a big decision.”

“… ….”

All the reporters who broke into my room had doubts on their faces.

A huge sum of money beyond common sense, a mother who spit out that huge amount, and even my strangely dignified attitude. Maybe I’m out of my mind After a while, one of the reporters looked at me suspiciously and asked.

“Rep. Suho Lee…. No, Senator. So what are you going to do with that 30 billion?”

Yes. The important thing was where the 30 billion was eventually spent.

If I said I would eat it, there was a high possibility that I would be cheated on.

However, spitting it out honestly was also a bad idea.

Mana is a coin invested by hundreds of thousands of people in Korea alone. It was funny that I compensated them for their loss, but even if I did, it was an excessively insufficient amount.

But donating to other places wasn’t a good idea either. Even so, I don’t think I can escape the disaster of Mana Coin.

So, I had a separate plan.

In order to use this money to divert the blame from me, and to seize and drag out the people who are really responsible for the Manacoin incident.

I did not hesitate to disclose the contents.

“Of course, I have no intention of carrying it in my pocket. However, before revealing the use of 30 billion, there is one concern.”

“What.”

“I am honestly worried that the true culprit of this situation will cleverly avoid responsibility while all eyes are on my mother and those who participated in the short sale. The issuer of Manacoin, Ye-Sol Kwon, who contributed to the current situation.”

Kwon Ye-sol. An existence that could be called the mother of Mana.

Even now, his whereabouts are unknown.

I’m in Korea, I’m in Singapore, or I’m in a third country… Only speculation was divided, but the person concerned was in hiding. Even that great tweet has been rare these days.

“The biggest manager is Kwon Ye-sol. No matter what I do, if that person, CEO Kwon, disappears, it will be impossible to restore the damage. If you try to escape abroad, there is no answer, right?”

“I will set a condition now.”

“Yes, it is a condition. The point at which I disclose the use of the 30 billion won will be right after Kwon Ye-sol appears in front of investors and announces the compensation plan. This is done in the hope that the true responsible person will not hide behind political controversies.

Kwon Ye-sol, whose whereabouts are still unknown, declares that he will reveal the whereabouts of the 30 billion won only after holding a press conference.

The reporters added a condition before arguing.

“Reporters. Complaints have already been filed in Korea, the United States, and other countries. In this situation, it seems that the suspicion of escaping is growing because Kwon Ye-sol has disappeared. I just want to play a small role in dispelling those suspicions.”

It’s not that I’m going to eat 30 billion won if Ye-Sol Kwon doesn’t show up, it’s just that I’m going to delay revealing where it’s used, so it’s not an unreasonable condition.

Of course, I would be a fool if he really appeared and apologized to the investors 100 times and announced a bailout plan by robbing all of his property…

I believed in Kwon Ye-sol.

I hadn’t even met him yet, but I could be sure Kwon Ye-sol wasn’t that kind of person.
