chapter 53
53. Folly
[Good work. Representative Ha Yeon-joo.]
Ha Yeon-joo’s face was stained with bitterness after confirming Lee Soo-ho’s short message.
I waited longer just in case, but there was no mention of compensation.
Compensation such as treating a big man who is the head of the people involved as a public servant, helping him to continue his legislative activities, or even recruiting him into the Peace Party.
Ha Yeon-joo was a proportional representative, so the moment she withdrew from the party, she lost her seat as a member of the parliament.
However, she was not without a way out of the Liberal Party as she retained her seat in Parliament.
If the Liberal Party judged that “This vicious b*tch must be kicked out as soon as possible even if it means maintaining the gold badge,” And formally expelled, the independent proportionality could have been achieved.
Ha Yeon-joo wanted this direction as well.
No matter how this ended, Ha Yeon-joo was in a difficult position to continue political activities in the Liberal Party.
No matter how right you say it was, Chosun buried the same party presidential candidate in a recording file. I guess there is no one who can read it.
In the end, I had to stand in line for Lee Soo-ho… However, it seemed that Lee Soo-ho had no intention of treating him as a colleague.
They gave surgery on a presidential candidate, but is that not enough? It wasn’t something I did after receiving a reward, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment.
Dealing with Seoul Mayor Jang Mi-hwa for 260 minutes was a lot harder than she thought.
‘Let’s stop thinking about useless things and take care of ourselves first.’
Ha Yeon-joo went to her house. After making that fuss, she didn’t have the courage to go to the National Assembly.
[Mr. You can’t come here now. There are only seven incumbent lawmakers who broke into the parliamentary office. Everyone must have been excited, this double desire… If Ha Yeon-joo appears, he will change immediately, so you should never come.]
[Rep. Ha Yeon-joo. Why aren’t you answering the phone?]
[Look at the world, the immoral woman Ha Yeon-ju. As a longtime supporter of the Liberal Party, I cannot forgive you. Before being a politician, you have to be a human being. I will surely pierce you and show you what human duty is.]
If you look at her messages now, it’s because most of them are like this.
She was honestly scared. It was because she belatedly realized that she had an accident that was too big for her thin weight class.
The house she arrived in half-fascinated was the apartment her mother had bought for her after being discharged from the military.
After all, it was a woman’s household, so there was nothing special about it.
I didn’t feel much because I usually thought it was just a place to sleep… It was a little bit cramped today.
‘Because if things go wrong, I’ll be secluded at home for a long time.’
Maybe it was because I was tired, but I kept coming up with only pessimistic prospects.
Would an investor feel like this after taking a bold shot and then waiting for the results?
I didn’t even know it was a more scary situation than that. It was expected that the rose stock would plummet, but there was no guarantee that Ha Yeon-joo would be the beneficiary.
For now, I can only hope that Lee Soo-ho will not forget his exploits.
How much time did you spend anxiously like that?
– “There is a politician who has stepped up to resolve the unprecedented political scandal that followed the Manacoin crisis that shocked financial institutions around the world. Today, we have the Peace Party Proportional Representative Lee Soo-ho here… !”
Lee Suho appeared on the news. It is also on the main news of public broadcasting.
The fact that he used the main news as a window for his remarks explained Suho Lee’s current position. The broadcasting station must have decided that it would be much more beneficial to cancel the scheduled report and have Lee Suho appear.
Are you excited to raise the value of your name today? Ha Yeon-ju looked at the screen with a half-mixed feeling of envy and worry.
And after a while, as soon as Lee Suho opened his mouth, Ha Yeonju’s eyes widened.
– “There is a member of the Liberal Party named Ha Yeon-joo. In fact, it was a bad relationship for me. You don’t even have to explain what kind of bad relationship it is, you know.”
– “Rep. Suho Lee? I’m sorry, but the content you discussed with our production team in advance was related to the Mana Coin Gate. I respect your right to speak, but it is difficult to suddenly bring up a topic that obscures the point.”
– “No. This is relevant. Representative Ha Yeon-joo made a decisive contribution. To be more honest, he is the one who gave me the courage to shoot political figures who colluded with Kwon Ye-sol without worrying about the aftermath.”
Suho Lee mentioned his name at the beginning of his interview.
That’s pretty positive too.
Is this really real? Ha Yeon-joo looked at the monitor while blinking her eyes, not realizing that she was real. She couldn’t take her eyes off Lee Soo-ho’s face.
*
The reason why Ha Yeon-joo floated as soon as I appeared on the show was, of course, because of political calculations.
Measures to expel Jang Mi-hwa from the mayor’s office as soon as possible.
Rather than explaining Ha Yeon-joo as a puppet who started working on my orders (although that is true), it is much better to capture the corruption of the same party presidential candidate and wrap it up as a conscientious first-timer who asked me for cooperation after suffering from agony. I liked the picture.
‘There’s nothing bad about Ha Yeon-joo herself.’
She appeared on TV and told her lies, but she didn’t mind at all.
Anyway, it was because of the lies.
“To be honest, I also felt pressured by the aftermath of the Mana Coin Gate. Criminals deserve to be punished, but there are victims in the process.”
“I heard that a drama that was scheduled to be released this month was eventually canceled. It was a drama starring a gate implicated person. It’s hard to imagine how despondent the over 100 production crew and cast must have felt.”
“It is not easy to ignore the pain of so many people…. But at that time, Rep. Ha Yeon-joo asked me for help. She wants to right her mistakes, she wants to do the right thing now.”
Right after the bottom line was laid, they started talking about the allegations against Mayor Jang Mi-hwa of Seoul and the existence of her 260-minute audio file.
The crime of Jang Mi-hwa, who received 9 billion won in money sprayed by Kwon Ye-sol.
Jang Mi-Hwa’s absurd excuse was that she thought that the 9 billion won did not come from Ye-Sol Kwon’s pocket, but was given to them by money exchangers in Singapore for a ‘greeting exchange’.
And even the disgusting act of trying to drive away the crime by threatening former CEO Park Ha-sun to escape from that responsibility.
It was the moment when the bare face of the presidential candidate who is currently running in first place was revealed. It was brief, but even the anchor who was conducting the interview couldn’t manage his expression.
“It is very painful that a presidential candidate, regardless of the ruling and opposition parties, fall from the race on these charges. I can imagine how much loss the supporters of the rose market must feel. Voters who aren’t supporters will be disillusioned with politics, too.”
“I am concerned about that too. Senator.”
“But if we don’t settle now, there will be a bigger disaster later…. If Mayor Jang Mi-hwa’s charges had not been revealed, and if he had become the presidential candidate of the Liberal Party in the future and entered the Blue House, how horrendous the situation would have been.”
“Aha, that.”
“If the allegations against the rose market were made public at that time, there would have been great confusion. Even if it’s hard, it’s right to brush it off now.”
A news anchor nodding his head with a confused expression when I talk seriously. Eventually, I was asked, “When are you going to release the recording file?”, And he gladly answered.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you. Already disclosed. All 260 minutes.”
“Yes?”
“No editing was done. Representative Ha Yeon-joo uploaded the process of drawing out the confession after fierce efforts. Although it contains some harsh profanity at the end. We also released a video of Kwon Ye-sol’s statement.”
Yes. I was already all naked.
The corruption that I just revealed, the recording file dedicated by Ha Yeon-joo, and even the part of Kwon Ye-sol’s statement video that mentions Jang Mi-hwa.
It would be a way to pressure Jang Mi-hwa to resign while solving metallurgy metallurgy, but that was only used when firepower was insufficient. Even if you leave the room right away and prepare for admission to the Seoul Detention Center, there is no need to spend time on garbage that is lacking.
“Rep. Suho Lee. Anything else you want to say?”
“No. From now on, the rose market is up to you. I will not ask Mayor Jang Mi-hwa to resign. It won’t end with her resignation anyway. I just want you to think about how to atone for your supporters. Thank you.”
The interview ends here.
When it was over, the omnidirectional pressure on Rose had already begun.
To be precise, it should have been seen as close to a public execution rather than pressure. The only thing is that Jang Mi-hwa refuses to enter the execution ground when the execution is confirmed.
‘A day… No, I’m forced to hold out for two days.’
Since they have the ability, wouldn’t they hold on to that level and stage a sit-in?
However, my expectations were wrong.
It was because Jang Mi-hwa was caught trying to do something unexpected the next morning.
It wasn’t that she announced her resignation while reflecting on her own sins, albeit belatedly.
– “The fact that Seoul Mayor Jang Mi-hwa planned the ‘attack’ disturbance in order to escape from the pressure to resign was revealed by the assistant secretary’s revelation. It is said that he planned to be hospitalized for a long time after turning the topic by disguising himself as being attacked by a Manacoin investor… “
She pretended to be terrorized and tried to escape to the hospital, but was thwarted in the planning stage due to revelations from her aides. He said it was a political terrorism operation. There was no ugliness like this in the world.
A series of gossip, public opinion, and 260 minutes stuffed on YouTube.
In the end, Jang Mi-hwa hastily resigned from the position of mayor without even announcing her position.
The moment when the leader of the Liberal Party struggled until the end and flew away. Perhaps because it was so ugly, even her fan club, the rose garden, reacted with astonishment.
