“You know how to hunt quite well, don’t you? Asian friends.”
Gregory glared at Kim Cheol-soo and Lee Jun-hak sitting in front of him.
Kim Cheol-su just calmly accepted Gregory’s fierce gaze.
“So you’re thinking of rejecting our offer?”
Gregory was even more impressed when he saw Kim Cheol-soo looking at him without any change in his expression.
“How did you find it?”
“Do I have an obligation to answer?”
“Do you think you can threaten us and get away with it?”
“Does this mean they can eliminate us like they killed David Doan?”
“Well, it depends on what you think. Of course, it wouldn’t be surprising if foreigners like you got robbed and died anywhere.”
Lee Jun-hak couldn’t understand what they were saying, but Gregory’s gloomy atmosphere made him feel a little angry.
Kim Cheol-soo was also so scared that he wanted to run out immediately, but he kept a poker face and didn’t show it as much as possible.
“I don’t think the lives of two employees are worth more than the presidency. Do you really think that if you get rid of us, the evidence will disappear?”
Kim Cheol-soo actually smiled slightly.
‘Do you laugh in this situation?’
When he gets angry, his subordinates get scared, but the kid in front of him was smiling calmly in front of him all the time, as if he had no liver lumps at all.
I wanted to punch that smiling face, but Gregory was surprisingly a man whose reason was stronger than his emotions.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to become a politician’s confidant.
‘Either he’s crazy or he’s extraordinary.’
Gregory frowned, crossed his arms, and buried his back in the chair.
As the strong atmosphere that seemed to entangle people disappeared, Lee Jun-hak exhaled lightly.
“Let’s say we accept that offer. But how do you guarantee that the evidence you have won’t be passed on to Yushenko?”
Gregory asked a question, and Cheolsu Kim answered.
“If Yushenko wins the presidential election, the contract we signed with you will become meaningless anyway, so why would we do such a stupid thing?”
Gregory thought about it and then nodded.
“That makes sense.”
Gregory asked again as he placed the contract he had brought on the table.
“If you give us what you have, you will be able to easily take this contract.”
“Do you plan to give me the contract if I provide proof that you murdered David Doan?”
“of course.”
Of course, as soon as he received the evidence, it was Gregory who planned to get rid of it without anyone knowing.
Kim Cheol-soo faced Gregory’s fierce eyes, took out the cell phone hidden next to his thigh, and pressed the stop recording button.
Then he played the conversation they had just had.
– You mean they can eliminate us like they killed David Doan?
– of course. No wonder foreigners like you get robbed and die anywhere.
“I just found another piece of evidence. Wouldn’t this be enough of a deal? Surely he wouldn’t break his promise? It seems like there are quite a few ears listening, right?”
Kim Cheol-soo took turns looking at the people who came with Gregory and Lee Jun-hak, then swiped his cell phone toward Gregory.
Gregory glared at Kim Cheol-soo with a bewildered expression and then burst into laughter.
‘He was not a crazy person, but an extraordinary person.’
Gregory glanced at his subordinates and pushed the contract towards Kim Cheol-soo.
“Like you said, I don’t want that evidence to ever come out to the world. If that evidence is made public, there won’t be any controversy. You, too, should give up the idea of living.”
“Of course. Our position is that we would like to have a closer relationship with Mr. Yanukovych if he becomes president. We have no intention of disclosing such evidence.”
Gregory shook his head and got up.
“That’s something to be seen at that time. We’re trying to give back what we’ve been given.”
As Gregory and his subordinates left, Kim Cheol-soo immediately opened the document envelope, checked the contract, and sighed in relief. Lee Jun-hak also looked at the contract carefully and sat down.
“For now, I just spent an hour.”
“Yes. It was the most dangerous moment.”
As Kim Cheol-soo responded, he took out his original cell phone from his pocket and pressed the stop recording button. Lee Jun-hak clicked his tongue when he saw that.
‘why…’
“that?”
“The more weaknesses you have, the more beneficial it is.”
This guy is talented
In the afternoon there was a meeting with Eugene Hertz.
Unlike Gregory, who brought a bunch of men with him, Eugene came alone.
“I don’t think this kind of deal is beneficial to your company. If our camp wins, you can take the project, but you shouldn’t think about it after that.”
“We think so too.”
Cheolsu Kim agreed and nodded.
“If you think like that, why did you do this?”
Kim Cheol-soo did not answer right away, but smiled brightly.
“Have you ever thought about this? That we prevented an incident that should have occurred.”
“what?”
“Yanukovych’s side had that video. If it hadn’t come into our hands, Yushenko’s political career would have been over.”
Eugene pondered Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
It was questionable how he got it out of Yanukovych’s hands, and all Eugene saw was a photo.
“You keep saying it’s a video, but what you gave us is just a photo. Photos can be easily manipulated.”
“Are you saying I’ll agree only if I show you evidence?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Kim Cheol-soo nodded while looking at Lee Jun-hak, and Lee Joon-hak took out a laptop from his bag and handed it to Kim Cheol-soo, who showed the video stored in it to Eugene.

Eugene watched the video for about a minute and was inwardly horrified.
‘oh my god! It was real!’
Eugene hurriedly closed the laptop and shook his head as if he was horrified.
Kim Cheol-su looked at Eugene and said quietly.
“If we had handed this over to Yanukovych, we might have gotten the contract more easily.”
“… But why?”
“Because Yushenko is a more trustworthy person than Yanukovych.”
It was highly likely that Yanukovych would have eliminated them after obtaining this evidence.
It was only then that Eugene realized that they had researched and negotiated quite a bit.
Kim Cheol-soo continued speaking while looking at Eugene who nodded.
“And from our perspective, we can’t miss out on such a great opportunity. If you don’t sign with us, we have no choice but to use another tactic.”
“Did you invite Gregory to the same place to put pressure on us?”
‘I didn’t mean to do that, but… you take it that way?’
Kim Cheol-su smiled faintly and nodded.
Eugene turned his eyes to the laptop again.
“If you agree to what we have proposed, we will return the original video neatly.”
“You might have a copy, right?”
“The contract we signed will only be valid if they win the election, so there is no need to take risks.”
Eugene Hertz thought deeply about the story he shared with Kim Cheol-soo.
‘That’s right. If there was no favor on our side, we wouldn’t have taken such difficult steps.’
“Okay. But if we give all the construction work to you, the burden our camp will bear after being elected will be too great. If there is an alternative that can relieve this burden, I will gladly sign the contract.”
‘It’s a burden.’
Kim Cheol-soo diligently interpreted Eugene’s request, and Lee Jun-hak, who nodded, stood up and spoke.
“Let’s talk separately for a moment.”
“yes.”
Kim Cheol-soo asked for Eugene’s understanding and began discussing with Lee Jun-hak.
“It appears that construction companies’ lobbying funds are being used as election funds. Construction companies have invested a lot of money, and if this money is not recovered, there will probably be chaos in various ways. Even if the president is elected, there may be a fuss because of the lobbying funds. Maybe he should pay attention to that. “It looks like it’s being used.”
“I think the same thing. Seeing that the other side is trying to take care of the construction companies that gave them money, it seems like they had no intention of leaving this construction matter to one side.”
“I think so too. They must have tried to distribute the construction work in proportion to the investment received.”
“I see. If we win this construction contract, will the city and city construction be able to handle it all on their own?”
“I can’t. It’s a 120 km long oil pipeline.”
“then?”
“That’s right. It’s a project we can’t handle anyway. Just do as I said.”
Lee Jun-hak ended the conversation with a grin and a wink.
After clearing his throat a few times, Kim Cheol-soo began negotiating with Eugene again.
“We don’t want to get into trouble with you because of this.”
When Kim Cheol-soo came out in a low posture, Eugene immediately answered.
“Until now, my image of Korea-English Trading Company was just that. But after talking to them, I completely understand their position. However, in order to make our relationship smoother, we need to resolve their concerns.”
“Instead of taking charge of the construction here, let’s get other construction companies involved.”
Eugene nodded as if he finally got a satisfactory answer.
I was confident that if I could get the construction companies that had funded the lobbying to participate in the construction, I would somehow be able to quell their complaints.
‘It makes sense. ‘This is not a greedy group that exploits weaknesses and pushes them forward.’
“If you add that condition to the contract they sent, I will accept this contract.”
Cheolsu Kim smiled and nodded.
“good.”
**
Two contracts signed with the Yanukovych and Yushenko camps.
Lee Jun-hak was a little surprised that Kim Cheol-soo, who had shown a firm attitude without making any concessions during negotiations with Yanukovych, was especially flexible during negotiations with Yusenko, but he thought it was a successful trip because he obtained contracts from both sides.
Of course, this contract plays a decisive role in selecting the oil pipeline construction project after the presidential election, and holding this contract does not mean that construction will begin.
While Kim Cheol-soo immediately scanned the contract and sent it to headquarters, Lee Jun-hak immediately contacted Ahn Jung-gyu.
– What happened?
– Success.
– Phew….
An Jeong-gyu’s deep sigh leaked out through the cell phone.
Normally, people would say things like “good job” or “tough job,” but instead, when I heard a deep sigh, I could feel how worried Ahn Jeong-gyu was.
-You bastard. Do you know what you’ve done now? Do you have two lives?
– sorry. Boss.
– You have to go on adventures depending on the time and situation. My heart is really pounding. Also, what if business in Ukraine is blocked in the future because of this contract?
– I think there are two cases.
– two?
– If Yanukovych is elected, I think I will have to stop new business in Ukraine for the time being, but if Yushenko is elected, I think we will maintain a pretty good relationship. I have attached the relevant information to the contract sent by Assistant Manager Kim, so please read it to understand.
– Yushenko should be elected.
– However, if Yusenko is elected, our profits will decrease significantly.
– okay? Have the terms of the contract changed?
– That’s it, boss.
– okay. I will check the contract here. anyway! Even though I say this, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this result if it wasn’t for you two. No matter who becomes president now, the fact that the construction is ours remains the same. Good job. good job.
Lee Jun-hak, who was silent for a moment as he felt overwhelmed for some reason, answered.
– no. Boss.
– Well, if the result is good, the process is meaningless.
Lee Jun-hak answered while glancing at Kim Cheol-soo, who was holding his laptop and organizing the data.
– In fact, Assistant Manager Kim played a critical role in this contract. If I had gone alone, I would not have had this result.
– Take care of Assistant Manager Kim?
– They said that if I succeed in this case, they will give me 30% of my performance.
– Why do you do it the way you want? Is it my authority? Do you have anything for me?
– The manager has to take care of that.
– Is this because you take care of your subordinates and your boss is a cold person?
– haha.
– what? Why is there no answer?
Lee Jun-hak chuckled instead of answering, and Ahn Jeong-gyu also chuckled through the cell phone.
– okay. Don’t forget to relax until you return home.
– yes! Boss.
