Chapter 115 Accidents
Upper society, this word is almost a derogatory term in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of others, it is an extremely desirable status.
To be honest, before coming into contact with Min Xianxiu, An Rusong did not have a clear understanding of the so-called upper class society. In his eyes, people like Liu Taihe and Shen Taian were just It was already something he couldn't afford to offend. As for existences like Councilor Kong, even though he is trying to figure them out, he still lacks a clear enough understanding of existences like that.
In the final analysis, An Rusong is an ambitious person. As a reborn person, he has enough confidence to climb to new heights unimaginable in his previous life in his free rebirth. If we look at him from a long-term perspective, then neither Liu Taihe nor Shen Tai'an will be taken seriously by him in a few years.
Even today's high-ranking Councilor Kong may not be able to satisfy An Rusong's appetite.
But having said that, after all, An Rusong has just started now, and his career is still a seedling. If it weren't for the accidental video he got before, which helped Congressman Kong get out of trouble, he wouldn't even have the chance to be People remember names.
So, An Rusong still needs time to develop, and he himself knows this.
Nan Xuyu, that damn fat man, told him in a contemptuous tone that he should go find Min Xianxiu and learn how to dress up so that he could be qualified to attend gatherings of high society.
This feeling of being looked down upon by others must be unpleasant, but An Rusong didn't mind, because he knew that he would need to come into contact with these things sooner or later. It is better to be despised by a fat man now than to be despised by more people in the future.
The circle theory mentioned by Min Xianxiu does make people feel uncomfortable after hearing it, but An Rusong, who has lived in two generations, is no longer naive, and he knows that what others say is the truth.
There are rules in this world, and the rules are always made by the superiors. The only people who can truly ignore the rules are those who set the rules, and how to dress is also one of the rules.
Just like an ordinary employee of a company, he can tell everyone that he doesn’t care what others think of him, but can he wear big pants and flip-flops to work in the company? If he did that, the end result would be a reprimand, if not expulsion.
But what will happen if the company’s boss wears big pants and flip-flops to work? He will be praised by the company's employees: Look, the boss is so friendly to the people.
Min Xianxiu is right. What An Rusong needs now is to integrate into the circles of powerful people. If he does not follow the other party's rules, he will be excluded. Of course there is no problem if he wants to express his personality, but he has to wait until those powerful circles need him before he can take his turn to speak.
As we enter late October, the atmosphere of South Korea’s domestic election campaign begins to become increasingly intense.
In terms of news and public opinion, Chosun Ilbo publishes an editorial almost every two days, seizing on the fact that South Korea’s GDP annual growth rate could not exceed 5 during President Roh’s administration in the past few years, and vigorously criticizing the progress. South Korea's economy will also face a "lost decade" if they continue to support the progressive candidate Zheng Moumou.
As a result, the "Chosun Ilbo" quoted the term "lost decade", which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Japanese ambassador to South Korea, and the two sides had a war of words on the Internet.
The "Korean National Daily" grasped the political concept that "conservatives are equal to anti-democracy, equal to opposing the unification of the peninsula, equal to being anti-Korean nation, equal to being pro-Japanese and pro-American", and criticized the ruling party headed by the Grand National Party. Conservative political forces launched various accusations and even abuses. They are just short of labeling conservatives as "Korean traitors".
But to be honest, President Lu has indeed failed to do a good job in economic construction during the past few years in power. The decline in economic growth has made any excuses he gave pale.
Of course, as a reborn person, An Rusong is very clear that during the few years of President Roh’s term, the Korean economy’s annual growth rate of 5% was already higher than that of the next two decades. Best performance yet.
The big Eastern country across the sea from South Korea has too many overlapping economic structures with South Korea. The rapid rise of the Eastern big country is gradually eating away at the living space of South Korea's manufacturing industry. This is the emergence of South Korea's economic growth. The most direct reason for the slowdown.
Of course, this fact has not been noticed by anyone in South Korea today. Maybe some people have noticed it, but they are still pretending to be stupid.
In short, due to the impact of economic performance, the progressives’ election situation is not optimistic, but the situation on the conservative side is not much better. After all, within the Grand National Party, headed by the eldest lady One side, and the other side led by Lee Min-bo, is still fighting endlessly. Before the final result is known, it will be difficult for the power controlled by the Grand National Party to be unified.
Just as we entered the last week of October, a piece of sensational news was first reported by the Chosun Ilbo. Once this news was exposed, the entire South Korean political arena, and even the economic world, They were all shocked.
This news report involves a person named Jin Rongzhe. This person is a lawyer and the former head of the legal affairs team of Samsung Group. According to Kim Young-chul’s disclosure, starting ten years ago, in accordance with the instructions of the chairman of Samsung Group, executives of the group’s 58 subsidiaries have opened bribery accounts in their own names and are responsible for reporting bribes to prosecutors, judges, etc. in the Republic of Korea. Bribery of government officials. In the past ten years, no less than 200 billion won in bribes have flowed out of these accounts.
In this interview report, Jin Rongzhe even revealed to reporters the ways in which Samsung Group pays bribes, such as giving red wine to officials who like to drink red wine, and collecting money from those who dare not be generous. Officials were given hotel coupons, shopping vouchers, and so on.
Kim Young-cheol even made it clear in the interview that he had a list of officials who had accepted bribes. He also said that he was also an accomplice in the bribery case and hoped that the prosecutor's office could quickly launch an investigation into him and Samsung Group.
This news was so exciting that it immediately drew all the attention of South Korea away from the general election. In an instant, there was not even a show of confrontation between the eldest lady and Lee Min Bo. People watched.
As for An Rusong, he didn't bother to pay attention to scandals like this.
No? Is it any wonder that Samsung paid bribes to South Korean officials? Besides, is that called bribery? Is that called giving out bonuses? Isn’t that right? Samsung is not Korean, but South Korea is Samsung. In other words, basically more than half of Koreans are working for Samsung, especially those civil servants.
Anyan District, at the gate of Korea Senior High School, watching Rubin's figure disappear into the distant school gate, An Rusong took his hand out of the pocket of his khaki long windbreaker, and the moment he turned around, He smiled at a girl who was looking at him in a daze on the sidewalk. Then, when the girl's face turned red, he opened the car door and got in.
In just two weeks, Min Xianxiu's training has already taken effect. Today, An Rusong walks, sits and lies with a straight waist. His whole body feels full of confidence. , and full of vitality, which is the kind of highly eye-catching existence.
Of course, this kind of temperament always needs a "gold outfit" to set off. A custom-made windbreaker worth tens of millions of Korean dollars will always be better than one worth hundreds of thousands of Korean dollars when worn. Ordinary windbreakers are more elegant. This temperament does not come from the fabric and workmanship, but from the confidence of "I am willing to spend tens of millions of won to buy a windbreaker."
Well, everything ultimately comes down to financial resources. After all, it is difficult for someone with a monthly salary of three thousand to stand upright in front of someone with a monthly salary of one million, because the latter can easily deal with "worth millions" trouble, and the same trouble can crush the former to death.
After restarting the car, An Rusong went straight to Daogu Cave.
Yesterday, Min Xianxiu took him to learn to drive a yacht. Of course, I didn’t go to the sea to learn, but in the Han River, or to be more precise, at Gwangjin Bridge in Banpo.
The yacht was rented, and An Rusong didn’t know how much the rent was. Anyway, after three hours of study, they gave him a large box full of chocolates as a gift.
The box looks like a basketball, it’s just that big. An Rusong opened the box and took a look. Inside was a box full of chocolate candy balls wrapped in colorful paper. The colored paper had the word "Lindor" on it. Only after asking Min Xianxiu did he find out that this was a soft candy made by Lindt. chocolate.
An Rusong brought some to Rubin and left some at the Songquandong mansion. It still costs about thirty or forty yuan, and he is going to give it to sisters Yuanya and Yuanhe to try.
Girls always need a little more coaxing.
After leaving Anyan Cave, An Rusong drove all the way south. After crossing the Hannan Bridge, he walked for about ten minutes before turning east and heading towards Liangcai.
Just after he passed Liangcai High School, he encountered a traffic light at the intersection. Because he had to go straight ahead, he parked the car in the second lane on the left. In front of him was a traffic light. A blue Audi.
An Rusong parked the car, glanced at the countdown of the traffic light, and felt that the time was still a bit long, so he turned on the stereo in the car. Just when he was thinking about choosing a song, he saw Xinpen coming from the north. In the direction of the Tang Line, a minibus seemed to have lost control. It hit a slow-moving white car in front and rushed straight towards the west side of the intersection.
This dark gray passenger bus was traveling very fast. It pushed the car forward for seven or eight meters before it was thrown aside. Then, without the blocking minibus, it Speeding straight towards the direction where An Rusong parked his car.
Seeing the bus rushing towards him, An Rusong subconsciously wanted to open the door and escape from the bus, but the seat belt he was wearing forcefully pulled him back to his seat.
