Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Hehe, Oppa, tell me, am I your lucky star...?"

"Yes, yes, yes, because of Sister Shiya's appearance, we now have another person inside the court..."

“It is indeed us. After all, you are not familiar with the South Korean legal system, so even if you have Shin Han-moon in your hands, you don’t know how to use him. But it’s much easier now that I’ve got him. I will make the most of him!”

"Heh, whatever. I just want you to get through this safely and successfully divorce that guy..."

"Mmm, I'm so happy to hear this, Oppa, kiss me..."

After Shen Hanwen confessed his incriminating information and secrets, he was dismissed. Then, Lin Shiya sat on someone's lap, put her arms around his neck, and began to boast about her accomplishment.

Li Shuo naturally lowered his head and worked hard, leaving behind loving kisses...

Although Lin Shiya's sudden appearance gave Li Shuo a little fright, the overall result was surprisingly good: if Li Shuo had only coerced and bribed Shen Hanwen, he would never have been able to surrender without reservation. It was because he saw Lin Shiya and was convinced that this was an internal struggle within the conglomerate that he made up his mind to place his bet.

Furthermore, just as Lin Shiya said, the things Shen Hanwen mentioned—the secrets of the Time Chaebol and the prosecutorial and judicial systems, as well as some information about Attorney Kim and the Samsung Legal Department—are things that Li Shuo can't use, but Lin Shiya can use them.

Therefore, rather than saying that Li Shuo worked hard, it's more accurate to say that Lin Shiya took the opportunity to express her gratitude. In short, feelings are a two-way exchange...

……

"...After communication and confirmation between the two parties, this court announces: Shuoguo Construction has won the case against Sanxing Bank for misappropriation of deposits!"

"Based on the shared viewpoints of both parties, this court declares that this victory is only effective due to the specific circumstances of this case and is not universally applicable. Further explanation: the actual perpetrator of the misappropriation of the deposits was Lee Sang-woo, the Vice President of Samsung Bank. The perpetrator has been apprehended, and the embezzled funds entered the stock market and cannot be recovered. Therefore, Samsung Bank lost the case due to 'inadequate supervision'..."

"Sanxing Bank was ordered to compensate Shuoguo Construction..."

The court adjourned for two hours before finally announcing its verdict in the case a little after 11 a.m., a verdict that had been jointly drafted by both parties.

In this way, even without considering the 500 billion won in Lee Sang-woo's securities account that Lee Seok already possesses... oh, no, that account, which follows the South Korean stock god's operations and has been making waves in the past few months, has now more than doubled to 1200 billion won.

Just considering the compensation that Samsung Bank is paying to Li Shuo this time, there is a principal of 500 billion plus 80 billion in interest and damages.

If we take similar cases in the United States as an example, the compensation amount is almost double, so this is already considered a relatively good result for Samsung Bank.

Furthermore, during the court's sentencing, the case was specifically categorized as a "special case," meaning it was a unique punishment, essentially a personal job-related crime committed by a senior executive of Samsung Bank, while Samsung Bank's reputation remained good...

After the judge finished delivering the verdict, Lin Shiya looked at Li Shuo with a smile and an air of pride, and extended her hand to him: "President Li, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Satisfied, thank you Ms. Lin!"

Compared to Lin Shiya's arrogance, Li Shuo appeared much more humble.

This scene, which seemed to symbolize a victory for Samsung Bank, made Attorney Kim's eyes twitch violently.

Just then, Shen Hanwen leaned over from the side and whispered, "I visited Li Shuo before, and through a combination of persuasion and coercion, without revealing the vice president's name, I obtained some information: the compensation that Sanxing Bank paid to Li Shuo came relatively easily, and even a small part of it will be broken down into smaller amounts and reinvested."

Attorney Kim instinctively frowned and said, "Invest it out? Who is he going to invest it in? This is all our Samsung's money!"

Shen Hanwen shook his head with a wry smile: "My relationship with him has just been repaired a little bit. At most, I can only rely on my status in the court to have some influence in front of him. Naturally, Li Shuo is unwilling to tell me so much."

"But based on my guess, the money will go back to the Crown Princess, and then she can use that money to invest in Elephant Foods..."

This also aligns with Attorney Jin's speculation. In the eyes of people in the Samsung system, Samsung will never suffer a loss. If it does, it can only prove that there is something fishy going on, such as senior executives secretly communicating with outsiders and exchanging benefits privately!

but……

"Didn't you say before that Li Shuo and Lin Shiya were practically sworn enemies? How could they still secretly exchange interests?" Attorney Jin asked the crucial question again.

"As you said yourself, this is a clandestine negotiation. As long as both parties are of equal status and have a certain level of mutual benefit, and even more so, if Lin Shiya makes a slight concession, wouldn't someone like Li Shuo, who values ​​personal gain, immediately take the bait?"

Shen Hanwen's implication was that this was actually a normal insider trading, which also aligned with Attorney Jin's speculation.

"Elephant Foods is a three-star company; it can't be saved by Lin Shiya so easily!"

"A small portion of 500 billion, not a large amount of money, shouldn't it have no impact on the matter of the elephant?"

"What do you know? Lim Se-ah herself has a lot of capital. The money she needs is probably only around 3000 billion won! Moreover, Lee Seok of Sukgo is an overseas conglomerate with abundant capital. If he can really reach a good cooperation with Lim Se-ah, Lim Se-ah will have a very high probability of succeeding in saving Daesang Foods and even the entire Daesang conglomerate by using him!"

Misled by Shen Hanwen's series of messages, Attorney Jin anxiously came to a conclusion: "No, we can't let them join forces! Go and contact Li Shuo again. If necessary, you can reveal the vice president's identity... Hmm, I will report to the vice president tonight and ask him to choose a time to meet with Li Shuo! If Li Shuo is a shrewd person, then he should know to choose a strong partner to cooperate with."

"Yes"

……

Today's court verdict was just one part of Li Shuo's experience of a thrilling life; Lin Shiya's widow's outfit was what he enjoyed even more.

After the verdict was announced and Lin Shiya finished enjoying herself, she was surrounded by senior executives of Samsung Bank and left. Li Shuo's courtroom life also came to an end, and the two female celebrities beside him came back to him.

"Oppa, let's leave through the back door, there are so many people in front!"

Nam Gyu-ri clung to Lee Seok's arm, her face beaming with the joy of impending liberation: here, she couldn't be with her beloved boyfriend, and she also had to deal with her "superficial best friend" Han Hyo-joo, which was exhausting.

Just as he thought of this, Han Xiaozhou walked out from the side, nodding and smiling at Li Shuo with a graceful demeanor.

"Chairman, congratulations! In South Korea, especially in a high court like this, winning a case against one of the top ten chaebols is nothing short of a miracle!"

The insightful praise brought a smile to Li Shuo's face.

"Really?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask Miss Xu Ji. She's an industry insider!"

Han Xiaozhou's gaze fell on Xu Ji, who was following Li Shuo. The latter glanced at her and echoed, "The top ten chaebols may lose ordinary lawsuits, but those that can be heard by the capital's local court are usually large-scale capital cases. Even for the sake of profit, the chaebols will go all out, so it seems that it is difficult for the plaintiff to win."

"Haha, alright then, it's my treat today, let's share the joy of victory together."

Nam Gyu-ri clapped her hands and shouted "Great! Great!" Han Hyo-ju's beautiful eyes flickered, and she unconsciously raised an eyebrow. She was more shrewd and easily understood that Lee Seok was placing her on the same level as Nam Gyu-ri. The problem was, she wasn't as "easy" as Nam Gyu-ri, who could be "easily taken advantage of" by men. Moreover, judging from Lee Seok's words, she intended to "enjoy it together with both of them!"

"Hmm, Guili, where did you say you were going to eat?"

Surrounded by two women, Li Shuo walked out while asking his female companions a question.

The attitude of "treating you as the rightful wife" made Nam Gyu-ri's eyes crinkle into crescent moons. She raised her head slightly and said obediently, "It's a dessert shop, but it's noon now, so it's not really appropriate to go there...hehe, I'm mainly worried that you won't have enough to eat, Oppa..."

Han Xiaozhou was a little confused: Huh? You care if your boyfriend has enough to eat?

It wasn't until Li Shuo laughed and took the two of them to a nearby Chinese restaurant, where they ordered some dishes, that Han Xiaozhou realized he was out of touch with reality. Nam Gyu-ri was treating Li Shuo with the persona of a domestic wife.

Lee Seok's behavior in his interactions with people depends entirely on his personal preferences. For example, when he was with Jessica Jung yesterday, he maintained the demeanor of a charming gentleman and a male lead in a Korean drama.

Today, while with two K-pop stars, he adopted a "chairman's everyday style." Well, it's not really a "stylization," but rather just showing off Lee Seok's most ordinary daily life.

For example, he enjoys greasy Chinese food, and even in front of a stunning beauty like Nam Gyu-ri, who seems completely out of place with such dishes, he can still eat heartily. He even playfully offered Nam Gyu-ri a bite of braised pork knuckle, and when he saw her swallow a small piece of meat as if it were medicine, he chuckled and said, "Oh dear, you don't understand, this is all collagen..."

As she spoke, she looked at Han Xiaozhou, who had a numb expression: she had never met anyone like Li Shuo, who didn't take her Hallyu star seriously at all! In fact, Li Shuo's casual attitude towards her always made Han Xiaozhou feel "insulted".

If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad; he didn't respect him, so he could simply ignore Li Shuo. But Han Xiaozhou could also sense that Li Shuo's casual attitude and carefree lifestyle were admirable.

"Hyoju, I forgot to ask, what project did you and Jung Se-yong collaborate on?"

Lost in thought, Li Shuo's voice rang in my ears.

Although the conflict between Jung Se-young and Lee Seok had passed, their animosity remained. Han Hyo-joo felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this and carefully replied, "It's just a new project organized by SBS; the director was chosen by the television station..."
