26. Total Resignation

Na Hye-ri. This cheap year.

“Former CEO Park Ha-sun. Wouldn’t it be better for those who ate money from you to come down from duty together?”

It’s true that he couldn’t overcome the pressure and decided to resign, but he’s already changed his title. A shadow fell on CEO Park Ha-sun’s face as he listened to Na Hye-ri.

For her, it was a moment when she realized the emptiness of her power.

To be honest, being a member of the National Assembly itself was a futile job.

This was something that foolish first-timers could never know.

When Park Ha-seon first became a member of the National Assembly, his eyes were about to roll because of his suddenly elevated position.

A sense of superiority when high-ranking officials of major ministries (especially the Ministry of Finance), who were difficult to see before becoming members of the National Assembly, bow low.

The tangible and intangible benefits that executives of large corporations gave to the parliamentary office during the parliamentary audit season to prevent the chairman from being adopted as witnesses.

Even if you spared your body, you could even enjoy fancy entertainment. Speaking of hospitality here, it wasn’t just about playing golf and getting a meal. It was a shady type of entertainment to the extent that ordinary people would feel deprived if they found out about it.

However, the time to get drunk and struggle with that privilege is also short-lived.

After the players accumulated 3rd and 4th ranks and got used to life in Yeouido, it was inevitable that they would feel that something was lacking. Does it feel like there is nothing left after boasting of strength?

There were usually two things that politicians who were engulfed in such futility longed for.

Money, or prestige.

There was no member of the National Assembly whose purpose was to promote the people’s freedom and welfare, promote peaceful unification of the country, and mature parliamentary politics.

Since Park Ha-sun had no chance of becoming a presidential candidate, he only wanted money.

Lending power to a thing called Kwon Ye-sol and collecting a large sum of money was actually part of that. I think it would be comfortable if I had money in my hand, and I would not have to suffer from a sense of deprivation even after leaving the National Assembly.

… That was all, but how did this happen?

“Former CEO Park Ha-sun. Are you listening to me? Don’t be so blank.”

“Huh?”

“Didn’t Yang Moon-sook, the floor leader, say that you have to resign together to clean things up. You’d better organize yourself instead of making things messier.”

When a specific instruction came down to get rid of the floor leader and go, Park Ha-sun’s sore eyes were finally filled with anger.

‘b*tch.’

Na Hye-ri is said to be young with three lines, but she is still in her mid-thirties, and boasts of her baby face inappropriately for her age. She is a beautiful woman, but she is a woman who has never thought about her career path in her life.

It has to be. Because she is the daughter of a family that has been in Icheon City for generations.

A golden spoon that does not need to be paid for by trash like Kwon Ye-sol… Seeing that shameless face made me feel uncontrollable anger.

“Hey, I’m a senator.”

Park Ha-sun raised her body while glaring at Na Hye-ri as if she were going to kill her.

The mother, former chairman Na Yoon-seon, was looking at me, but I was going to ignore it. What’s the point of being an elder when life is stuck in a gutter anyway?

Unfortunately, however, the person who interfered with that anger intervened.

“Rep. Park Ha-sun. Now is not the time for this.”

Now I’m not even a representative, just a member of the council?

I was dumbfounded, so I turned around and saw Lee Soo-ho arrogantly.

He was a lucky man who jumped into the proportional representation contest with only 4 years of secretary experience and was lucky to win a nomination.

I was dumbfounded and glared at him, but Lee Suho calmly teased me as if he didn’t care.

“Rep. Park Ha-sun. Do you think it is reasonable to look so unfairly at the person who was threatened with fabricated data? They say that no politician has a beautiful end to their career, but you shouldn’t ruin it to that extent.”

“… How about giving me an admonishment.”

“Anyway, Congressman Park Ha-sun is over. He said that the prosecution is already reviewing whether to investigate. He is cautious because of the political burden, but if Congressman Ha-sun Park steps down from the representative position, he will not hesitate, probably.”

“… ….”

“I don’t know how much the torpedo is, but arrests are inevitable.”

Perhaps it was because these words came from the mouth of a young Choseon, but they were rather realistic.

Recalling the ordeal she would go through for the next few months or even years, Park Ha-sun was already in the distance before her eyes. He felt as if he had received a free accommodation voucher for the special private building of the Seoul Detention Center. No, it was not a feeling, it was a future that had already been decided.

“And think about it. The target for Congressman Park Ha-sun to vent his anger is not me or Na Hye-ri. I hope you don’t waste your energy in the wrong place.”

Then who the hell am I supposed to take out my anger on? Park Ha-sun smiled and left the restaurant.

My heart is already broken, but there are not just one or two things to do from now on.

Resigning floor leader Yang Moon-sook as ordered by Na Hye-ri, leading to the resignation of the leadership, finding a lawyer in preparation for the prosecution’s investigation, and, although it will be difficult, diverting slush funds to a safer place.

And again.

‘Ah, there was that bastard. Could this be what Suho Lee meant?’

A guy named Moon Seong-min came to mind belatedly.

Lee Suho’s friend of 20 years and the protagonist who became famous as a golfer who forgot 7 billion won.

He was also an abomination who cleverly approached Park Ha-sun and sold off Na Hye-ri and Lee Soo-ho’s private life information. I was deceived because it seemed plausible to say.

“You want me to hand over the CCTV footage? I’m sorry, but I hate that, Mr. No matter how much it’s gone now, it’s been 20 years with me and Suho. I was the one who buried him last year when he was almost caught having s*x with Congressman Na Hye-ri in the clubhouse lounge. It’s true that I need money urgently, but I don’t want to ruin Suho’s life… !”

Moon Seong-min’s dual attitude, saying that he desperately needs money but does not want to ruin his friends. Thanks to that, I had more faith.

At that time, I was sure that I would be able to get Na Hye-ri to surrender without having to secure the video anyway, so I paid the price to Moon Seong-min without thinking deeply.

A lot of that too.

But that was all lies. It was like being tricked by a man without a chin.

‘No matter how much I’m in a hurry, I can’t just ignore him and move on.’

One 28-year-old professional golfer had the power to show hell. She resigned from her representative position, not even her congressional seat.

It wouldn’t be bad to take at least one person along the way.

No matter how long you have retired, a politician is a politician.

After Park Ha-sun left, she had a few words with Na Hye-ri’s mother, Na Yun-sun, and she naturally came to this thought. She also greeted her husband who was next to her, but the conversation failed because she was just a smiling grandfather.

“Is it true that Congressman Lee Soo-ho planned this from the beginning?”

“It looks like you heard something from Congressman Na Hye-ri.”

“No. Our Hyeri doesn’t have bad hair, but she’s not strong enough to make bold moves like this. Then all you have left is you.”

“… ….”

I couldn’t tell if she was smart or if her evaluation of her daughter was harsh. Still, I was glad that she seemed to take good care of me.

“And you did a good job with your friends. Those who are to be beaten must be beaten.”

She was the one who appreciated even the fact that I used her friend Seongmin Moon and lost my hand.

She was worried that she would be criticized by the elders for actually taking a risky move. If she made a mistake, she could have been framed as a politician who sponsored Na Hye-ri’s young secretary.

‘Well, there’s nothing wrong with being trusted by Congressman Na Hye-ri’s mother.’

Anyway, Na Hye-ri and I had to work closely together in the future. Just because Park Ha-sun was defeated doesn’t mean everything is over. Later, when the support of elders and leaders is needed, former Chairman Na Yun-sun may be able to play a part.

“Rep. Suho Lee. Those who are not with me should go.”

“Yes. It wasn’t my intention, but I’m really sorry for being rude today.”

“Please take good care of our Hyeri. Please.”

Former chairman Na Yoon-seon turned his back after throwing a word. Her husband greeted me calmly and only gave me eye contact and trotted after him.

They said it was their 43rd wedding anniversary this year, and I could roughly guess how that old couple had lived for so long.

By the way, I want you to take good care of Na Hye-ri. It didn’t seem like he was simply asking her to faithfully play the role of an aide by her side. It probably refers to her role as her boyfriend.

‘Well, it’s natural to misunderstand that we’re dating.’

It’s a composited picture. Even so, the fact that she went to Japan to play and stayed in the same lodging was not noticed. Since she never hid it in the first place, it’s hard to say that she was found out… It was normal for someone who didn’t know the circumstances to look like a tryst.

But according to what I heard from Hyeri, her mother had a strong prejudice against men, she said. It must be right for men to cook at home. She skipped Na Hye-ri’s older brother and she bequeathed her constituency to Na Hye-ri because of that, she said.

The situation when such a conservative person asked me for her daughter.

She’ll admit I’m resourceful, but… I didn’t know if it was a welcome thing. It’s not like I did this out of curiosity. I just did it because I thought it was necessary. It was like being forced to bloom.

However, apart from my mood, I had no intention of refusing the request of former chairman Na Yoon-seon.

“Your mother must have liked you. It’s Suho.”

Rep. Na Hye-ri’s remarks. Even though it was right after hearing the rude words from her mother, she didn’t care.

Actually, I was thinking of discussing her aftermath with her right after she dismissed CEO Park. For example, discussing how to respond when rumors of infidelity spread.

But now I didn’t have to. It was because I had a slightly different feeling than when I was just playing golf.

It’s not like I’m the only one, Na Hye-ri seemed to have the same idea. The proof was that he laughed at the subject of a major accident, saying, “I think we accomplished a big thing.” I guess that means you believe in me.

“You worked hard.”

“You too.”

After exchanging words one by one, how many more minutes must have passed in a calm atmosphere.

Breaking news broke that “The decision to resign from the leadership of the Pyeonghwa Party will be announced at the general assembly tomorrow.”

The controversy that started with one coin event finally blown the ruling party leadership, but for some reason, they weren’t very nervous.
