Reborn as the youngest son of a chaebol, let's get to know his sister-in-law!
Chapter 434 Chen Dongji can’t stand it anymore
"I heard that even if the children of the chaebol follow the family path, very few come to our university to study. Your grades are excellent, right?"
"Haha, how could it be? But there is not enough time to talk about those things now. Let's talk about that thing first. Then we will have time to have a drink and talk about our alma mater."
Chen Daojun put down the wine glass in his hand.
"I can see you're anxious."
The prosecutor moved his wrist, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Yes, I have to be on the news tonight."
"today?"
"As soon as I make a call, the reporters will come over. Now that we have the script, we have a director, and the media is ready, all we need is the actors."
"Don't worry, I come here with great sincerity."
While the prosecutor spoke solemnly, Chen Daojun smiled.
"As a director, I have to test your acting skills."
Chen Daojun pushed a stack of documents onto him.
"Read the script first, and read it carefully."
The prosecutor, as the protagonist, quickly opened the file.
He read each page carefully, sometimes his eyes lit up, sometimes he was thoughtful, and he seemed to be completely immersed in it.
When the heat of the charcoal fire cooled down, the documents were turned over.
"Now there is one thing, the work content of the previous prosecutor."
"Do I need to find him?"
Because Chen Daojun already knew everything about the matter, he could only say:
"How should I put it? This is a story that ends without knowing who the culprit is."
Chen Daojun waved the cigarette between his fingers and said slowly
"it's complicated."
The prosecutor nodded and took a puff of smoke from his cigarette.
"The overseas slush fund of 1000 billion won is also a problem, but since this money was used under the pretext of purchasing foreign companies that do not exist, it is a heinous crime."
Although he is a prosecutor who is about to take off his clothes, the anger in his heart must be enough to ignite the sense of justice deep in his heart.
"Corruption, breach of trust, property flight...and if it exceeds 50 billion, it will take at least 10 years..."
"The matter is indeed very troublesome, but the statute of limitations is ten years, and there are still three years left."
"It's been a long time since I read laws and regulations when sorting out data and checking. I've almost forgotten everything, haha."
The prosecutor did not laugh together, because he knew that his job was not to get to the bottom of this crime, but to end it with a fire.
Just like the charcoal fire on this table, the meat has cooled without being grilled.
After taking a breath, the prosecutor slowly said:
"Mr. Chen, there is one more thing that needs to be considered carefully, that is, if this detonates, what will happen next? In any case, it seems that the owner of the money must be someone from Shunyang Group...? Without internal data, you can't Find details like this.”
Chen Daojun read the curiosity in his eyes.
But if he knows too much, it will be more likely to cause problems, because human curiosity is a powerful emotion that can make him forget the danger.
"I know how to accomplish it. However, senior, use your dissatisfaction to extinguish this evil fire. There is no need to talk about other things, otherwise it may lead to other places. By then, I will not be able to protect you even if I want to." There's a way"
"Don't call me senior, I'm a complete loser..."
His face turned red, but he couldn't hide his embarrassment and stuttered.
"Okay, let's decide now. I will do the things in front of me well."
The prosecutor lowered his voice and visibly lowered his posture.
People who hold power are sensitive to those who are more powerful than themselves. Suddenly, the prosecutor begins to really know Chen Daojun.
Chen Daojun said slowly:
"I don't know how much the pension of a civil servant is, but when you can take on enough responsibilities and don't have to worry about money for the rest of your life, do you still worry about the future? Senior, you should understand what I mean."
"Okay, of course I believe you. Let's make good use of the prosecutor's certificate."
The prosecutor responded and picked up the newspaper.
"The part that must be emphasized at the press conference is..."
"It's up to you to decide these things. I believe you will make a good decision."
Chen Daojun smiled at him confidently, and then raised the soju bottle.
"Please take good care of me, senior."
He also smiled and handed over the wine glass. Chen Daojun politely filled the glass with both hands like an ordinary junior.
When Chen Daojun came out of the box at a steady pace, Zhang Daoheng followed closely behind.
“Are you ready for the evening news?”
"The reporter is on standby, and the news agency has agreed to actively cooperate. It will last at least 2 minutes, and if possible, this will be placed in the key news section."
In the car returning to H City, Zhang Daoheng calmly reported today's preparations.
"There won't be any problems with the Attorney General's meeting, right?"
"Yes, they were hesitant at first and didn't know why, but when they heard that I was conveying the words of the late General T, they readily agreed."
"Good job."
Zhang Daoheng glanced at Chen Daojun and took out a piece of paper.
"what is this?"
"This is a list that was obtained in advance. It seems that the department heads have received the message to break up the council."
Chen Daojun knows what this list is.
“These individuals will be appointed to serve under the vice-president at a council meeting.”
The organizational chart of Shunyang Financial Group’s CEO and senior executives is at a glance.
"Yeah, but some people are complaining a little bit."
"This still has some benefits. Only in this way can they see clearly what is right and what is wrong. Let's clean up first."
"Okay, then fire all these people."
"Do not."
Chen Daojun shook his hair.
"To end in dismissal is a disgrace, a disgrace that anyone would frown upon if they saw this result. Let the audit department look into it. All orders are sent to the local branch or customer center and a professional team is assigned Come here, even the smallest mistakes must be documented, and even if you resign, you must have a good excuse."
Seeing Chen Daojun's smile, Zhang Daoheng nodded vigorously:
"Master, where are we going next?"
"Go to the Inspector General, I am qualified to go there now!"
The inspector-in-chief had arrived at the appointed place early, and the TV set that Chen Daojun had told him to place was turned on right in front of the dining table.
The news is being broadcast in real time above:
"We investigated that a large amount of 1000 billion won was hidden in an international bank in Malaysia, which is said to be a common account for bribe funds."
“This slush fund is owned by a conglomerate in Han State, and the actual owner of the funds is an individual, not a company.”
"In particular, the process of raising funds is different from the existing embezzlement of public funds. A large amount of funds were siphoned off under the pretext of acquiring an overseas company that did not exist at all. Prosecutors are already tracing relevant documents."
"This slush fund appears to have been created during the International Monetary Fund's foreign exchange crisis..." "The owner of this account will be summonsed soon and I would like to reiterate that he is a likely suspect."
"Bah!" Chen Daojun turned off the TV and took a bottle of wine.
The prosecutor bit his lip and raised his glass with trembling hands to take a sip.
"I had an interview in the afternoon and then went to work. Will the procuratorate continue to investigate this matter?"
The prosecutor, who put down his glass before he drank, began to look at Chen Daojun with suspicion.
"The DA will take care of it anyway."
Chen Daojun shook the red liquid in the cup: "Why the district attorney? Isn't the owner of that account from Shunyang Group?"
"Didn't you ask to see me in anticipation of the interview?"
"Did you just hear that? This was money embezzled from the International Monetary Fund and I was a freshman in college. Did I have time to make that much money?"
"That's not what I meant. Are you here on behalf of Chen Rongji, or Chen Dongji?"
Before Chen Daojun could answer, the prosecutor-general interrupted directly:
"This must be the account of the late President Chen. Why should I tell everyone what he left behind?"
"No, Attorney General, I came to see you today for other matters."
The Attorney General's reaction was no different from Deputy Justice B's.
At first, Chen Daojun felt a little surprised and embarrassed, but soon Chen Daojun repeated what he said to Deputy Chief of Justice B.
The Attorney General seemed relieved as he had maintained a secret relationship with the late Chairman Chen.
Fortunately, the person who took over the material was Chen Daojun, not the aggressive Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji.
"I will leave you the things your grandfather left behind."
"My grandpa said a lot. He said that I would do bigger things in the future. I hope you can help me."
"The prosecutor's end is Chief T, but I've seen the end now, and there's nothing I can do about the rest."
The Attorney General says this nonsense without really meaning it.
"No, because there is currently a vacancy for Chief B. I met with the Deputy Chief of Legal Affairs B a few days ago. He said that the reorganization of the cabinet is imminent. Of course, the Deputy Chief of Legal Affairs B is also involved in the reorganization, so it is not impossible for you to be interested in joining the cabinet. .”
"Oh, but I'm not very interested anymore."
Even though he pretended not to be interested, Chen Daojun didn't miss the change in his eyes.
"Since he has passed the confirmation hearing in the National Assembly, the verification has been completed, and from the Cheong Wa Dae's perspective, he is definitely No. [-]."
This amused the Attorney General's ears.
"By the way, Prosecutor General, you can't ignore the 1000 billion slush fund case for the time being, right?"
"what is that…?
He blinked.
"This matter must involve the Shunyang Group, so the first person to ask the prosecutor general to cover up this investigation must be the owner of the slush fund account. Can I beg you not to cover it up?"
The Attorney General, who had been frowning and silent for a while, slowly relaxed his expression.
"Do you understand what it means to know a lot of things you shouldn't know?"
"This is a very sudden question. What do you want to say?"
"That's what the young prosecutor who just made the news thinks. I mean, from today on, you will become more and more important in Han Country."
Chen Daojun smiled: "In fact, I will become more and more dangerous."
A smile spread across the Attorney General's face.
"Can I pretend I don't know?"
“That’s not okay, but as long as the prosecutor general doesn’t prevent the prosecutor in charge from carrying out the investigation, that’s enough.
"When will the results be available?"
"I will contact you individually." Chen Daojun didn't want to be too harsh.
The Attorney General knocked on the table: "But you have to know one thing. All the events that have been covered up will one day be restored to the light. At that time, I will no longer hold the position of Attorney General, and I may not be able to stop it."
"The statute of limitations is three years. By then, you may be the Chief of Legal Affairs B. I will start the operation now. There is enough time."
"Have you taken care of the Cheong Wa Dae person? Just arrange a job for me, haha."
Chen Daojun smiled: "No matter who sits at the Blue House, the tens of billions of dollars in my hands will not change. I believe in my money, and don't put more burdens on yourself. This is my grandfather's teaching. I won’t put any more burden on you either.”
After this conversation, the two raised their glasses.
The transaction was successful!
On the car ride home, Chen Daojun received countless calls.
Without exception, they all belong to Chen Dongji.
Chen Dongji was very anxious, which could be seen from the number of missed calls on Chen Daojun's mobile phone.
But Chen Daojun just looked at the ringing mobile phone indifferently and did not answer it.
Chen Daojun thought to himself: "Just wait a little longer, haha, I have to grind hard."
Chen Daojun needs to let his good uncle, the so-called Vice President of Shunyang, break his own pride and make him grovel and take the initiative to come to his room.
While Chen Daojun was meditating leisurely on the swivel chair, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Sure enough, Chen Dongji appeared.
"Chen Daojun, you are really good!"
"Ah, second uncle, why are you here?"
Chen Daojun was holding something bad in his heart, but his face was blank.
"Why didn't you answer my call?"
"Did you call? I seemed to be on silent mode. I didn't hear you. I was packing my things upstairs."
"What? Packing things?"
"Yes, didn't you say I would be fired next week? So I have to pack my things."
Chen Dongji looked around Chen Daojun's room and roared.
"Are you kidding me now? There's no sign of tidying up your room at all!"
Chen Daojun pointed to his desk.
There is only toothpaste and toothbrush.
“I don’t come to this office often, so no matter how I pack, this is all I have.
"I'm really sorry. Please sit down, Uncle. You seem to have a lot to say."
Chen Dongji glared at Chen Daojun, and then sat down on the sofa until his heavy breathing subsided.
"I saw the news."
"You see, that's really a big deal."
"Is this just what I want to talk to you about? Don't you take me seriously?"
Chen Dongji looked at Chen Daojun and laughed, his expression ferocious as if he wanted to kill him, but Chen Dongji's voice had calmed down, and he asked a series of questions:
"It looks like you did it. What do you mean? Do you want to throw the slush fund materials to the prosecutor and die together? Are you blackmailing me? Or do you really think I'm an idiot?" ?There's no way prosecutors know how the slush fund was set up, there's no way they can investigate it."
"You must be prepared. Do you still have the documents in your hand? If not... this may be a bluff."
Chen Daojun asked him: "Why do people like you still deceive themselves even though they already know the facts? In the end, they are just self-comfort. Open your eyes and look at the reality." (End of Chapter)
"Haha, how could it be? But there is not enough time to talk about those things now. Let's talk about that thing first. Then we will have time to have a drink and talk about our alma mater."
Chen Daojun put down the wine glass in his hand.
"I can see you're anxious."
