Gender Reversal Politics

25. Expulsion

The future will be tough.

Na Hye-ri, the 3rd Peace Party member, suddenly muttered while waiting for Park.

The meeting place is Baekriwon, one of the Chinese restaurants in Yeouido.

Since the 1980s, it has been a popular gathering place for politicians. It was thanks to the sales strategy of importing expensive wiretapping detection equipment from the United States and widely publicizing it to placate politicians at the time who were terrified of wiretapping.

Even these days, politicians often visit this place whenever they have a close conversation.

‘Me too.’

Today, Na Hye-ri was scheduled to dismiss her party leader Park Ha-sun.

A tycoon with 20 active members in his faction. And the incumbent party leader who led the victory in the general election just a few months ago.

It wasn’t even just Park Ha-sun. She was going to steal her gold badges en masse through her money.

‘… Phew, I never thought the day would come when I would have an accident like this.’

Originally, Na Hye-ri’s life in politics was uneventful and boring.

She raised her grades in parliamentary activities just enough not to be criticized by anyone, played golf on the weekends, and spent the rest of her time lying around the house playing games or watching anime.

However, life without worries was over.

Lee Soo-ho, who provided the cause, was now sitting upright next to her. He wasn’t even very nervous.

Originally, she was a little stiff and unattractive for a boy, but how could she remain calm in this situation?

“Suho. Aren’t you nervous? I’m not disparaging you, but you.”

“It is the first election of proportional representatives. Even the 19th last seat in proportion to the door closed. If she hadn’t been lucky, she wouldn’t even have gotten that number 19…. I know I’ve done some tough things with my career.”

“Contrary to what you say, you don’t seem very nervous, do you?”

Lee Soo-ho recalled a faint smile at these words.

Na Hye-ri thought that the obvious words would come out of his mouth. Statements like “So far things are going according to plan” Or “Because people who are politically dead are the opponents anyway.” Or give an example of your experience as a golfer.

… However, what Lee Suho told her was different from what she expected.

“You are my friend, right? Having someone to lean on kept my composure.”

“I happened to be swept away by the storm just like you, but what?”

“You don’t have to cut yourself down…. In fact, if you were a member of Congress, you could have cut me off in the middle and regained your original peaceful life. Whether the party perishes or not.”

“… ….”

“But you didn’t do that and agreed with me. You are a good politician simply by not turning a blind eye to the corruption of his colleagues…. Thanks to that, I also had a place to rely on, and I was able to avoid suffering.”

Looking at Suho’s expression, it seemed that she really thought so, not flattery.

I, Hyeri, felt an emotion that is hard to explain. Suho’s face looked a little different today. Does it feel like you’ve gained someone you can rely on?

Eight years younger, it’s kind of funny to rely on a man, but that’s the truth. After all, the current situation was directed by Lee Soo-ho. Of course, it’s not just the ability to set a table and rely on it, but something more…

“CEO Park Ha-sun is here.”

“Ah.”

The moment when thoughts stop. Na Hye-ri looked at CEO Park Ha-sun as she walked into the private room. An impression like a praying mantis that had failed to mate came into her eyes.

Park Ha-sun’s face was full of miasma. Even if you are already at the edge of a precipice.

Perhaps, she was repeating the idea that she could survive even now. Because a politician’s desire has a toxic side.

‘If it was a different time, that miasma would have felt a bit burdensome.’

However, after meeting CEO Park, I felt much calmer. I don’t know if it’s because of Lee Soo-ho, but it probably isn’t irrelevant.

“Oh, Congressman Na Hye-ri. How did we meet in a place like this….”

“CEO.”

“Hmm?”

“You asked me to see you because you believe in something, right? I can roughly guess what it is, but since you already brought it, try presenting it at least once. I must have spent a lot of money.”

“… ….”

It was Representative Park who immediately distorted his expression. Na Hye-ri smiled brightly, not caring.

*

The card CEO Park Ha-sun brought was ultimately Na Hye-ri’s private life. It was the moment when he realized that Moon Seong-min had overextended himself.

“A Liguna Golf Resort in Okinawa? At the end of last year, he went there privately… No matter how foreign you are, you should have been conscious of your surroundings. Tsk. I didn’t know, but I heard it was originally famous as a ‘golf join’ spot?”

Representative Park, recalling an eerie smile, inserts the data we threw at Moon Seong-min intact.

In addition to this, they were solving rumors that were presumed to have been added to Moon Sung-min’s creative power.

There is a person who witnessed and filmed Na Hye-ri and Na Hye-ri having skinship while playing late at night. He said he received 5 million won per month in exchange for his dedication.

It was too vulgar to come out of the mouth of the party representative. Of course it was all fake.

But we didn’t bother to argue. Rather, “I see. Do you have anything more to say?”

“Tell me more.”

“Heh heh, really. It’s no use pretending to be so calm? It’s better not to think of it as an ordinary relationship, just in case. The fact that the person in charge of personnel affairs and the secretary met is itself a problem. Besides, getting 500 in a month is really serious.”

I, Hye-ri, looked at CEO Park who was talking like this with pity, then opened her mouth.

“I have never given 5 million won each, CEO Park. Did a friend named Moon Seong-min say that?”

“… No, what is it all of a sudden?”

“It is true that I gave Suho a small fee. But if a golfer with a plus handicap has no talent… No, if he gave me one-on-one guidance, but he didn’t even give me a reward, wouldn’t that be an abuse of power?”

“Lee Soo-ho, that friend, isn’t a pro… Aren’t his excuses too crude?”

“When I was in my first year of high school, Suho was on a challenge tour with pros, and it was an app that ranked high. He has no other male amateur who can hit better than him.”

“… Great. Besides that But how are you going to explain why you went all the way to Japan while avoiding people’s eyes?”

“At that time, Korea was too cold to play golf.”

Na Hye-ri is always calm. On the other hand, Representative Park’s face was shaking in real time.

She must have sensed that things were going strangely wrong with her. Even so, she can’t let go of her lingering feelings and does that…

‘It’s probably because we’re too calm and suspicious.’

This was the weakness of old politicians. Maybe it’s because Gumilbokgeom is the default option, but I tend to be suspicious of people who are calm.

“hahahaha. The whole truth has been revealed, but if you come out like that shamelessly.”

“I wonder what the truth is. If you bring anything, show me.”

“… ….”

Park Ha-sun rolled her eyes anxiously, and eventually she took out the plaque she had brought.

It was the CCTV capture screen. It’s also very strange.

“It looks like I’m mingling with Suho in the clubhouse lounge. Just look at the picture.”

“… I wasn’t going to do it this far. I am sorry.”

Sorry. It might be a pity for Park Ha-sun, but I roughly guessed the source of this photo.

A membership country club in Yongin where Seongmin Moon worked mainly… There was an accident there last fall. An executive of a large company and a young male employee, who had an affair, secretly entered the employee lounge and had an affair. Didn’t even know there was CCTV.

The incident itself was buried, but officials giggled and said they watched the CCTV footage. It seemed that Moon Seong-min synthesized Na Hye-ri’s face with me.

‘Crazy man. Did CEO Park get caught here?’

A situation in which the representative of the ruling party puts pressure on her junior lawmakers while revealing her private life data.

If this were real, it would have worked. If a young male politician suffers something like this, it is like the end of his social life.

‘It’s a problem because it’s fake.’

At this point, it seemed appropriate for me to step out. After exchanging glances with Hyeri and her, I looked straight at CEO Park.

“CEO Park. Did you get this material with money from my friend? I am Moon Seong-min.”

“Don’t keep trying to find an informant.”

“Because that’s the point. That data was fabricated by Seongmin Moon. It must have been synthesized in a hurry because the CEO asked for conclusive evidence…. I think he probably only showed the capture and didn’t show the video, making excuses, but is that correct?”

“… ….”

“Moon Seong-min’s words must have sounded plausible. He’s my oldest friend and he’s in the golf world. He has enough motivation to hold a grudge against me.”

“No.”

“No matter how urgent it is, you should have verified it…. By the way, I wonder how many millions of dollars you gave him. I think Seongmin probably asked for it in virtual currency because he is vaguely clever.”

At these words, CEO Park muttered, “Obviously the original,” But soon became blank. He seemed to realize that he might have been mistaken.

“Ah.”

Representative Park Ha-sun, who has hardened within a short time. Now all I had to do was finish it.

Actually, there was one thing prepared separately to neutralize Park Ha-sun.

It’s not really a big event… All I did was serve a meal with an elderly couple in the next room.

And the role given to them was one. When I, Hye-ri, sent her signal, she came over and greeted Ha-sun Park.

Now was that time.

“CEO Park. What kind of ugliness is this?”

A white-haired old man who suddenly appeared and scolded Park Ha-sun with a serious voice. Former National Assembly Speaker Na Yun-sun. He was an elder who introduced the incumbent president into politics and a permanent adviser to the Peace Party.

And, she was also Hyeri’s mother.

CEO Park Ha-sun’s face turned pale. It is natural that he was caught threatening the daughter with her manipulated data in front of a representative elder of the Peace Party.

“… Chairman. That is, actually me.”

Representative Park Ha-sun, who was smirking at something, ended up with an empty face.

After a moment of silence.

She shrugged her shoulders and eventually started to sob. The sight of an old politician, especially a woman crying, was ugliness itself. She must have never expected her career to end this way.

Of course, I had no intention of waiting for him to calm down.

“CEO Park. It is over now.”

Right after that, we informed Park Ha-sun of the timing and method of resignation.

It was the moment when the political life of a tycoon came to an ugly end.
