Chapter 220 Lack of Mutual Trust
"Brother Xinhou, even though I know you are making excuses for your stinginess, I still think what you said makes sense," An Rusong gave him a thumbs up. said.
"Haha, I can't help it," Li Xinhou didn't think that the other party was mocking him, or that he didn't care at all, so he laughed and said, "We prosecutors are not like you As a big business chaebol, the salary provided by the Republic of Korea is not enough for me to rent a real 'luxury package' in a place like this, so..."
So he didn't say anything, just spread it out He spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
An Rusong flicked the cigarette in his hand and flicked off the ash column growing out of the cigarette end, then stretched out a finger, shook it towards Li Xinhou, and said: "Brother Xinhou, I just transferred one million dollars to your account, not one million Korean won, and now you are crying about poverty with me?”
"Hey," Li Xinhou laughed and said, "not all of that money belongs to me. After all, if I want to settle your case, I also need to take care of some people."
An Ru Song smiled and said in his heart: I believe your ghost.
Seemingly reading through his mind, Li Xinhou poured water on his body and said: "Rusong, don't feel bad about the money. You have to believe me. I didn't take advantage of you. I Although people love money, but But when it comes to credibility, as long as I receive money, I will definitely do it for others. I will not take money from others for things that cannot be done, and I will return the money for things that are not done. After we have been together for a long time, you will naturally get to know each other "
At this point, he stopped, glanced at An Rusong, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that I don't dare to provoke you plutocrats. After all, the power seems to have been transferred to market' well if i If you take the money but don’t do anything, maybe Song Huiyong will come to see me later.”
“Power seems to have been transferred to the market.” This sentence was not said by Lee Shin-hou, but by the person currently in office. President Lu said it himself.
Two years ago, Samsung’s current Chairman Lee donated 40 billion won to Korea University in exchange for a doctorate in philosophy awarded by the school. At the time, I didn’t know whether it was to hype up the matter or to flatter Chairman Lee. The current president of Korea University, Yu Undae, actually wanted to hold a grand degree awarding ceremony and invited nearly a thousand celebrities to attend the ceremony.
As a result, this incident angered the students of Korea University. On the day of the ceremony, some students blocked the main entrance of the school auditorium and held a demonstration to protest against President Lee's behavior of exchanging money for a degree. Although President Li finally received the degree certificate, the entire degree awarding ceremony failed to start.
If things end here, it won’t be a big deal, but the more explosive plot lies behind.
After this incident happened, Yu Yundae, the president of Korea University, made a public apology. However, the target of his apology was not the students and the Korean people, but Chairman Lee of Samsung. He believed that students The demonstration was because the school did not do its job well, which caused trouble to President Lee. Not only that, for this matter, Korea University also held an emergency director-level meeting. After the meeting, all director-level cadres in the entire university resigned.
This incident caused quite a stir at the time. The key point is that in 2000, the then President Kim Dae was invited to give a speech at Korea University, but he also encountered student demonstrations. Interception. The final result was that President Kim returned the same way he came from. Afterwards, Korea University did not apologize, and no one resigned.
It is precisely based on this that President Lu said such truth.
As for the Song Huiyong mentioned by Lee Shin-hoo, he is the current anti-corruption minister of the Seoul Central Local Supervision Office.
"Haha, Brother Nobuhou, I am not a chaebol," An Rusong said after taking a puff of cigarette.
“But you are rich, and your richness is enviable,” Li Xinhou clicked his tongue and said, “Don’t think I don’t understand anything. My daughter in the United States has told me that your company is very rich. prospects, it may develop into a A large company with a market value of tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. "Oh, I'm talking about US dollars."
"Haha, I didn't expect your daughter to have more confidence in NGN than me, the president." Rusong laughed, he didn't want to discuss this issue.
"Okay, Brother Nobuhou doesn't need to explain anymore. I believe you," he said, changing the subject. "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't make this deal with you."
"That's what I said," Lee Shin-hoo He nodded and said, "I will help you finish this case as soon as possible. What are you going to do with the reporter Dong Gaojun? Send him to prison, or"
As he said this, he did it with his right hand. A gesture of wiping the neck.
"Don't be ridiculous, Brother Nobuhou, I don't want blood on my hands," An Rusong said with an exaggerated expression, "As for being sent to prison, for what crime?"
"Hey, he has a lot of things going on," Li Xinhou said casually, "Forget it, since you don't plan to kill him, let me handle the rest. After all, you paid the money, and I The service must be done well.”
An Rusong really didn't care about a small character like Dong Gaojun, so he didn't really care about what charges Li Xinhou wanted to charge him. Besides, that guy dealt with poisonous insects and gangsters all day long. If he said that he had no case against him, no one would believe it. As a prosecutor, it would be no big deal for Lee Shin-hou to cause trouble for people like him. The cigarette in his hand was about to burn out, and An Rusong put it out in the ashtray, and then said to Li Xinhou: "Brother Xinhou, are you interested in making another deal?"
"Tell me about it," Li Xinhou said cautiously without giving a direct answer.
Although it was only his second contact, An Rusong had a certain understanding of this guy's character: stingy, obsessed with money, but at the same time, cautious and careful enough. In fact, people like this are the best candidates for bribery. If they are as reliable as he said, it would be perfect.
“I want to deal with someone,” An Rusong said. “This person’s name is Song Puhe. He is a talent scout from TheContents Entertainment Company. I hope you can check him out. It’s best to send him in. Stay for a while.”
That's right, the person An Rusong was going to deal with was the guy who wanted to trick Rubin. The reason why he asked Li Xinhou to do this was because he was unhappy with Song Puhe's attempt to trick Rubin. In fact, it was also an inspection of Li Xinhou. He really wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two.
“Can I ask the reason?” Li Xinhou asked curiously.
An Rusong remained silent.
“Don’t get me wrong, I just want to tell you that TheContents Entertainment is not as simple as you think,” said Lee Shin-hou. “Its president is named Lee Sung-hoon, a very wretched-looking guy. , but his background is very deep. Since the person you are talking about is from TheContents Entertainment, it will not be that easy to touch him. "
Raised one hand and made an unknown gesture in the air, he continued: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't dare to provoke them, I just want to tell you in advance, even if I If you target this person, you may not be able to send him to prison in the end. You have to know that there is a connection between the Chief Nam you know and this Li Chengxun."
"I know everything you said." After he finished speaking, An Rusong nodded and said, "And I also know Li Chengxun. But you don't have to worry about these, just do your thing. If Li Chengxun comes to you, you can tell him that I asked you to do this."
Li Xinhou stared at him. After looking at it for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you do this."
After a pause, he said, "I'll help you with this matter for free."
"Oh?" An Rusong felt a little surprised. How stingy the other party was. She could actually hear the word "free" from his mouth?
"Haha, we are all acquaintances, you help me, isn't it normal for me to help you?" Li Xinhou laughed, but his smile looked a bit fake.
An Rusong frowned and said, "Brother Xinhou, what you say makes me feel very uneasy."
"Just tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" An Rusong wouldn't believe it if a stingy person actually said "free" if he didn't have some calculation in mind. What's more, this guy has already stated his intention. What do you mean, you help me, I help you. Isn't it just that there is something that needs his help, An Rusong.
"What, you don't believe me?" Li Xinhou said with a solemn expression, "If that's the case, then you'd better pay, just like this time, give the money"
"Okay "Okay, okay, I believe in you, Brother Xinhou," An Rusong He quickly interrupted him and said with a smile, "Then even if I owe you a favor this time, I will definitely pay it back to you when I have the opportunity in the future. How about it?" Happily, a smile reappeared on a seemingly righteous face.
An Rusong knew very well that this guy must be hiding something in his heart. He probably had something to ask of him, and it was definitely related to Li Chengxun, because his "free" statement came after he proposed to get acquainted with Li Chengxun. Just made it.
However, since this guy doesn’t want to talk, An Rusong has no intention of continuing to ask. The current relationship between the two is far from close, and mutual trust between them has not been established, not to mention that Li Xinhou still doesn’t trust him. He, doesn't he also distrust the other party?
Trust is something that needs to be cultivated step by step. The premise is that Prosecutor Li Xinhou is worthy of An Rusong establishing a relationship of mutual trust with him.
