[017]The Age of Ordinary People 2.
“this! Are you giving me too much homework? haha.”
The loud laughter of a guy named Rep. Park.
It was a smile that showed that he was in a much better mood.
“My shoulders feel lighter now that the Chairman has made such a big decision. great. “I will draft it in an appropriate manner.”
“I will be prepared to a certain extent… Our congressman, you must avoid the Blue House’s objectionable orders. Please draw a picture that will please you. haha.”
Conceding by taking a step back. What are grandfather’s intentions?
“this this. Because I’m blind… . I finally realized it, draw it. Please speak, Chairman.”
Oh my, I was clueless too. There was another reason for making this kind of concession!
I couldn’t tell because I only saw the back, but it seemed like the grandfather was smiling.
“Then I will shamelessly say something. Last year, there was all this talk about democratization and all that, but now aren’t even workers coming out to the streets? When the grasshopper jumps, the goby also jumps. “Now I can barely make a living.”
“Oh, you mean that problem?”
“yes. Because of the general strike and other things, none of the factories are operating properly. They are the ones who immediately take to the streets when the company closes… . This is so… … .”
Riding the wave of democratization, workers also poured into the streets to seek their rights.
What Chairman Jin is saying now is to stop them.
“hmm… That issue is also a top priority for us. Don’t worry too much. “It is early in my inauguration, so I am refraining from a hard-line crackdown, but it will be resolved before the Olympics.”
“Does it matter how many months I can last? Just steer in the right direction.”
“You don’t have to worry about that part. “Is there anything else?”
“The National Intelligence Service must be hectic these days, right?”
“Are they ever not busy? ah! Oh my, without notice again… haha.”
Rep. Park burst into laughter, hitting his head.
“It looks like the union is having a lot of trouble.”
“I received several reports that their movements were unusual.”
“I heard that Sunyang’s intelligence power is comparable to that of the National Intelligence Service, but what can we do with our children?”
“You are comparing a few quick-witted employees of a merchant with a national intelligence agency. “It’s unreasonable.”
Even the National Intelligence Service is mobilized? Just to understand the trends of the union?
The reason powerful state institutions can be used for personal purposes like this is the power of the money invested so far.
How much campaign funds was given?
“I’ll run three or four lines. You will receive your results soon.”
“Thank you for your great consideration.”
Mildam ended with the grandfather’s final greeting. After exchanging well-wishes, we heard the door opening and the sound of footsteps moving away.
and.
The sliding door swung open and Chairman Jin appeared.
“Dojun, you waited a long time, right? “Did you eat a lot?”
He pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down next to me.
It’s only been two months since we last saw each other during winter vacation, but Chairman Jin asked about the past two months as if it had been years since we last met.
Studying hard is all I can say about the correct answer.
While I was talking, Chairman Jin checked the table.
“Dojun.”
“yes.”
“Tell me honestly. “Did you hear everything Grandpa said in that room a moment ago?”
There are almost no empty plates or less food. He immediately noticed that I had neglected to eat.
This time, I guess I’ll like it if I say I heard everything, right? It’s obvious that the sliding door was left slightly open on purpose so I could hear better.
But eavesdropping is not a good thing. I lowered her eyes and lowered her head, the natural behavior of a child who has been caught in a mistake.
“You bastard. Lift your head. “A man shouldn’t bow his head often.”
I felt Chairman Jin’s hand stroking my bowed head. Hands without any warmth. This person is getting old.
“Did you by any chance understand the entire conversation this lady had?”
Eyes full of anticipation.
What if I nod my head now? That anticipation would turn into joy, but it can’t. I shook my head.
It has already brought me enough joy. Giving a little when needed doubles the joy. And it was too political for an 11-year-old to understand.
But I wanted to give a little gift. Because I’m not so cold-hearted as to completely ignore those disappointed eyes.
“But I have a question.”
“Curiosity is a good thing. What?”
“The person who was with your grandfather earlier is the president’s subordinate, right?”
“Load? “That’s the way it is.”
Chairman Jin showed great curiosity as to what questions I would ask.
“Why is Grandpa meeting his subordinate? “If he is the chairman of the largest company in our country, shouldn’t he meet the president?”
I was genuinely curious. No matter how much he is the crown prince of the 6th Republic, he is not at a level where the chairman of Sunyang Group should meet him in person.
I wanted to hear the reason.
“Dojun.”
“yes.”
“When you go to school, you hear rumors about this and that, right? Some people are really nice, some people are mean, and some people are good at fighting. is not it?”
“yes. “I listen to it a lot.”
“Especially if the friend who relays the rumor is very close to Do-jun or trustworthy like a class president, you will think that the rumor is accurate. “That is the trap.”
Trap of accurate rumors. No, it is a trap when trusting the messenger.
“You shouldn’t believe what other people say. Even if they are friends. This is especially true the more important it is. “You should always check for yourself.”
“Then did you check it yourself?”
“okay. It confirmed how grateful I was for my help. and… “There are many things to do at the same time.”

“yes.”
Chairman Jin looked at me nodding my head and answering, and then checked with me again.
“Dojun, do you remember what I said before? “What did you say was important?”
I thought very quickly. What do you want to check at this point?
“You don’t have to know what grandpa is saying, but don’t forget it. And remember it whenever you need it. Is that right?”
“okay. right. Likewise, you must remember and not forget what I just said.”
“yes. grandfather.”
“And one more thing. “You must be a listener, not an explainer.”
One more thing, you must be a person who listens, chooses, and decides. Today, Chairman Jin did not surrender to the powerful figures of the current administration.
It is in this context that we will follow the big picture drawn by the government. It is not too late to listen to Rep. Park’s plan and make a decision. If you don’t like it, you can change it by complaining about realistic difficulties.
Chairman Jin only spoke politely, but he ordered Rep. Park to submit a plan as he would a subordinate.
The one who proposes first is the weak one and is the one.
When I realized Chairman Jin’s true intentions, a smile came naturally. I have no way of knowing how he interpreted my smile, but Chairman Jin also looked satisfied.
“It’s a pity, but I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with seeing Dojun’s face today. I’m a bit busy with this budget. Instead, be sure to come to your grandfather’s house on Children’s Day. “Let’s play together.”
“yes!”
I had to answer very happily. Because there is no child who doesn’t like Children’s Day.

After sending his grandson home, Chairman Jin went back into the main room. I don’t know when he appeared, but the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa jumped up when Chairman Jin appeared.
“Just sit down. You’re so hard that it’s a problem. “Why are you being so polite?”
“no. Is it a habit? haha.”
“Did you get along well with Rep. Park?”
“yes. We took you to a special room downstairs. “I added a new female singer to me so I could smell the scent and get some rest.”
“good job. That human woman wouldn’t be able to come to her senses. “How about the banquet hall?”
“I handed out one copy to each of the first-time lawmakers in attendance. and… .”
The middle-aged man added, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
“We also identified people who were being rude to the models placed in the banquet hall. “I instructed them to prepare a table for us as soon as the banquet is over.”
This is a place where you can find out who likes money, who likes women, and who likes both at the same time.
Of course, there will be guys who stay away from women and refuse money.
This is an advantage of spreading bribes widely. A list of those who need to be filtered out is quickly created and targets for intensive management are identified.
Do you drool over a woman after receiving money from her just because she was elected a few days ago?
Those who are careless like this will end up as a member of the National Assembly once. Not twice.
The target of intensive care must be raised and made into a gentle sheep. Aren’t these the vanguard of Sunyang?
“good job.”
I think today’s work is roughly finished. Chairman Jin lifted his teacup with a more relaxed mind.
“how is it? “What do you think Rep. Park will bring?”
“Does it matter what you bring? “Our cruise ships just need to secure the Soviet Union’s natural gas resources.”
“Are you confident?”
The middle-aged man did not avoid Chairman Jin’s gaze, which was looking at him intently.
“LNG is coming in one after another. It’s a meal prepared by Sunyang, so you have to have it all to yourself. “I am confident.”
Chairman Jin’s eyes were filled with infinite trust as he looked at the middle-aged man who smiled and answered.
