If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?
Chapter 167 I Have a Road in Southeast Asia
In the private villa, the lights shone brightly, and glasses clinked.
Wu Yanxiu sat in the host's seat, while Li Chenghuan and Zhang Biyu sat opposite each other. In front of them were various exquisite small plates filled with a variety of expensive and delicious dishes.
Two of South Korea's hottest A-list actresses, one innocent and the other alluring, served Lee Seung-hwan from either side, constantly pouring him drinks and serving him food.
Every now and then, she would use her smooth, fair hands to feed Li Chenghuan purplish-red grapes. To an ordinary person, this scene would be like the enjoyment of an emperor.
Meanwhile, the host, Chairman Wu, and Representative Zhang were seated next to a female celebrity who served them in an extremely humble manner. If this scene were to spread, it would shatter the worldview of the entire South Korean population.
In their eyes, these goddesses, unattainable and pure, with every strand of hair perfect, groveled at the feet of powerful figures, obedient as puppies, doing whatever they were told without daring to disobey in the slightest.
This is the daily life of South Korean elites—an extravagance and debauchery that ordinary people could never imagine in their lifetime…
Lee Seung-hwan raised his glass and stood up to toast Wu Yanxiu and Zhang Biyu: "Chairman Wu, Councilor Zhang, I would like to offer you both a toast. First, to thank you for your hospitality, and second, to express my deepest honor at being chosen by you two important figures to join our circle of insiders!"
"If you two need my assistance in the future, I will do my utmost and will not hesitate to do so!"
Wu Yanxiu and Zhang Biyu exchanged a glance, then raised their glasses and clinked them together with Li Chenghuan's.
Wu Yanxiu said with a smile, "Prosecutor Li is young and promising with a bright future. Our circle of people lacks young people like you who dare to fight and take risks. With you joining us, we will be even more powerful."
Zhang Biyu also laughed and said, "That's right, let's call you Li Jiansheng from now on. From now on, we'll call you Chenghuan. Chenghuan, we're all family now, so don't be shy. Tonight, let's drink until we drop! After dinner, we have some special entertainment, which is a tradition in our circle of insiders. You must participate!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yanxiu also chuckled lewdly in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan's smile remained unchanged, but inwardly he cursed, "Damn it, those two old bastards are really playing dirty tricks."
The so-called "regular event" is naturally the multi-person sports meet, which they often hold to enhance the relationship among the members of the insider circle.
To be honest, Lee Seung-hwan didn't mind having some interesting things happen with the two beautiful actresses around him.
However, it would be a bit unsettling to have him be completely honest with Wu Yanxiu and Zhang Biyu together.
Just as he was thinking about how to politely decline, a phone call came in. Lee Seung-hwan took his phone out of his pocket and saw that it was Han Yoo-hee calling.
"Excuse me, you two, I might need to take a call," Lee Seung-hwan said apologetically to Oh Yeon-soo and Jang Pil-woo.
"It's alright, Chenghuan, you're a star prosecutor now, many people want to see you, we understand." Wu Yanxiu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.
Lee Seung-hwan then left the room and answered Han Yoo-hee's call: "Hello, sister-in-law, what's up?"
"Chenghuan, when are you coming back?" Han Youxi's gentle voice came through the phone, then she told Li Chenghuan, "Your...other girlfriend came to the house and said she's waiting for you..."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan raised an eyebrow. "Did she say what her name was?"
Han Youxi: "She said her surname was Xu, and then she seemed a little unhappy. I don't know if it's because of me..."
Is your surname Xu?
Isn't that Xu Minying?
Lee Seung-hwan immediately recognized her identity and said to Han Yoo-hee, "Tell her I'm out socializing and might be home late."
"Okay, Seung-hwan, be careful on the road."
"Do not worry."
……
After hanging up the phone, Li Chenghuan returned to the house and raised his glass again to toast Zhang Biyu.
We had almost finished eating.
Wu Yanxiu put down her wine glass, suddenly sighed, and said, "Chenghuan, do you know why I teamed up with Representative Zhang to borrow 800 billion from Hanjin Bank?"
You two are colluding with government officials; you're just trying to make money, aren't you?
Lee Seung-hwan muttered a few words of disapproval to himself.
On the surface, he shook his head, looking puzzled: "Although I was used before to investigate your loan cases, I really don't know where that money was used."
Wu Yan took a sip of his drink, looking disgruntled. "Ugh! Everyone says that I, Wu, am the chairman of the Future Group, a powerful and influential tycoon with connections to all corners of the world. But they don't understand how frustrating it is for me to be chairman!"
"Oh? What do you mean by that, Chairman Wu?"
Zhang Biyu picked up the thread: "Chenghuan, you don't know this, but Chairman Wu has three brothers, all sons of the former chairman of Future Group. After the former chairman died, the other two sons were not convinced by the position that our Chairman Wu inherited. They believed that he had tricked the old man into changing his will by deceiving him and taking advantage of his senility."
"So they don't get along with our Chairman Wu at all."
"Not only did they disregard the overall situation and forcibly split up Future Group, but they also used various means to deliberately seize the group's most profitable subsidiaries, causing the huge Future Group to fall into a vicious cycle of frequent internal strife, sabotage, poaching, unfair business competition, and so on."
"As a result, after Chairman Wu took over Future Group, the group's market value plummeted, Future Group's position as a conglomerate giant became precarious, and the group's cash flow suffered a huge deficit."
"It could very likely lead to the group falling into an operational crisis due to a lack of working capital, disintegrating, or even going bankrupt."
As an ally whom Wu Yanxiu had personally supported, Zhang Biyu knew quite a bit about Wu Yanxiu's affairs.
After listening to his account, Li Chenghuan finally understood why Chairman Wu had risked borrowing that 800 billion.
Of course, this is only one side of the story from the two of them. Li Chenghuan is not so foolish as to think that Wu Yanxiu, that old fox, is the one who is most bullied among the three brothers.
If he were really that incompetent, how could he have become the chairman of this conglomerate?
Seeing that Li Chenghuan did not express any opinion.
Wu Yanxiu continued, "Chenghuan, now you know how frustrated I am, this seemingly glamorous chaebol chairman, right? I have the title of chaebol, but I have no money in my hands!"
Lee Seung-hwan: "Chairman Wu, you're too kind. Everyone in South Korea knows that you, Chairman Wu, are one of the top ten chaebols! 90% of the cars in South Korea are produced by the Future Group."
He gave a thumbs up.
Wu Yanxiu shook her head: "The boss is often just an empty shell. Every day, hundreds of thousands of people have to wait on me to drink, defecate, and urinate. How many of them actually end up in my mouth?"
"Especially my two brothers, they've been trying to take away my shares and power. I'm so worried about them that my hair is almost turning white!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenghuan looked up at his bald, receding hairline and his lips twitched slightly: "If Chairman Wu is really in a hurry to make money, I have a good place to go."
Wu Yanxiu: "Oh? Please go on!"
Lee Seung-hwan: "Chen Hyun-pil!"
Wu Yanxiu frowned: "Chen Xianbi? Although this kid is talented, we've already squeezed him dry. There's no more profit in him. Besides, he's already taken advantage of all the lowly pigs and dogs in South Korea. Nobody will believe his nonsense anymore."
Lee Seung-hwan laughed and said, "Of course I know that, but I didn't say that I wanted Chen Hyun-pil to make money for Chairman Wu in South Korea. As long as Chairman Wu is willing to listen to me and trust me, I can guarantee that this kid Chen Hyun-pil will definitely bring us huge profits!"
Hearing this, Wu Yanxiu became serious and personally lit a cigarette for Li Chenghuan: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Biyu also quietly pricked up his ears. Even though he was already a presidential candidate, who would complain about having too much money?
He became president simply to make more money.
Lee Seung-hwan took a deep drag of his cigarette, enjoying the invigorating feeling of the nicotine filling his lungs, and slowly said:
"I have a route in Southeast Asia. It's risky, but the profits are huge. If this goes through, it'll be faster than robbing a bank. Do you two dare to do it?"
