Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1387: Thoughts from Hometown (Third update, please subscribe)
Even if drunken talk is just drunken talk, it is still outrageous.

Some people's drunken words may be laughed off, but some people's words are from their heart.

At least for some people in the Korean representative office, they definitely have their own little account books.

Jin Mingquan unbuttoned his collar and asked as he flipped through the report:
"What did they say? Was there any dissatisfaction?"

As an intelligence officer in the representative office, he would perform surveillance duties every time Seoul sent people to inspect. After all, there were always some of these people who were dissatisfied with the president.

"Sir, Toyota Daejung from South Jeolla Province has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction and even believed that the President's study here is pushing South Korea all the way to hell."

Liu Zhengye truthfully reported the "drunk words" said by Toyota Dazhongtian.

"Xiba! This guy is so short-sighted. The commander-in-chief wants to bring South Korea to hell? I think he wants to bring South Korea to hell!"

Jin Mingquan was indignant at the subordinate's report and said:
"What a fool! Give me the information about that fellow..."

After receiving the information, Jin Mingquan frowned and said to himself:
"The origin of this clan is Jinhai... He is actually the original clan. He was released from prison by the president, but he still doesn't know how to wake up. He is really a guy who doesn't know what is good for him!"

Although it was from our sect, Jin Mingquan thought about it and said:

"Keep a close watch on him. Just make sure he doesn't cause any trouble for us!"

As for the rest, of course he couldn't do anything. After all, this was not Seoul. If he wanted to do anything, he had to ask that guy to return to Seoul. In Seoul, there would naturally be others who would care about him.

After that, Jin Mingquan closed the report and asked:
"Any recent developments at the residence?"

As an intelligence officer, Kim Myung-kwon knows very well that his job here is to grasp the movements of the official residence. Doing this job well is even more important than working with the North, because every decision here involves the future of South Korea.

Whether it is the development aid loans they provide or the factories that relocate industries, for South Korea, they are the hope for South Korea to escape poverty.

Any disturbance here may directly affect Seoul, so we need to pay close attention to this place.

"Nothing is happening at the moment, sir..."

Standing in front of the commander, Liu Zhengye thought for a moment and said:
"However, our friends at the official residence revealed a piece of news that Your Excellency may be conducting an island tour recently and will probably be away from the official residence for a long time. Therefore, the affairs of the official residence will be temporarily handled by the secretary's office."

The secretariat is the core of the official residence. Every director of the secretariat will eventually take up a local post or be in charge of a directly affiliated department. In short, his influence is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary officials.

"Secretary's Office..."

Jin Mingquan thought for a moment and said:
"Director Zhang from the secretarial office, his wife is Korean, right?"

Many people here have Korean wives, but there are more Japanese and many Europeans. However, among the top leaders, it is very rare for wives to be Korean or Japanese, but Europeans are very common. After all, the search team once...

"Yes,"

Liu Zhengye replied:

"Director Zhang's wife has always been on the list of representatives for key research projects."

"Um,"

Nodding, Jin Mingquan said:

"That's good. We must improve the relationship between her and them. This is our main business. Do you know what our biggest advantage here is?"

“It’s 200 million overseas Chinese!”

Liu Zhengye replied:

"In the past decade or so, more than 200 million Koreans have come here as "trainees"!"

"Yes, they married here and integrated into the country, but they still have strong feelings for Korea, this..."

After a brief pause, Jin Mingquan said seriously:

"This is our biggest advantage, not just remittances, but also the influence of you gentlemen. This is why the president is determined to get close to Chang'an, because South Korea has almost no influence in Washington!"

After that, he stood up, looked out the window and said:
"But it's different here. Two million compatriots will make their husbands and children feel good about Korea. This is our biggest advantage. As long as we grasp this advantage, Korea will definitely benefit greatly in the future."

Looking at the expectant officer, Liu Zhengye was full of doubts. He had been here for several years and knew that many Korean expatriates would always draw a line between themselves and the country.
After all, South Korea is poor and backward. Who would want to have anything to do with it?
They definitely don’t want to be associated with anything, or even be labeled as “Korean”.

Of course, Liu Zhengye did not remind his superior. After reporting some other things, he left the office, returned to his desk, and took out a list from the drawer.

List of key overseas Chinese

The names recorded in this list are all expatriates who need special attention. Among them are wives of officials and many businessmen. Only a few expatriates are studying in universities here.

The people on this list are those who must be visited every year during the holidays. In a nutshell - they are all well-known figures.

"Zhang Zheyuan, Zhang Jinshunzi."

Looking at the names on the list, Liu Zhengye nodded and said:
"Mrs. Zhang, you must be the most prominent Korean here!"

After thinking for a while, he said to himself:
"Let's go visit him in the next two days."

……

The most prominent status? Zhang Jinshunzi had no such awareness at all. Like thousands of other women, she was just an ordinary woman who took care of her husband and children.

Like many women who have received higher education, Zhang Jinshunzi teaches in school. As usual, after school in the afternoon, she, as a music teacher, went to the piano classroom to teach the children to play the piano.

In school, all children need to take an interest class, which can be in various aspects. More than a month ago, the school also opened an artistic gymnastics class - because of the arrival of a new teacher.

When the piano music sounded in the classroom, Zhang Jinshunzi would walk to the children from time to time and give them some guidance.
Looking at these children, Zhang Jinsunzi couldn't help but envy them. In South Korea, only a very small number of children from rich families had access to piano and other musical instruments, but here, every child has the opportunity to learn art courses such as music, fine arts, recitation, drama, as well as models, camping, military and other courses, and of course, science, mathematics and other courses for students with special expertise.

In addition, the school also holds lectures regularly, giving students the opportunity to meet and learn with celebrities, artists, and even scientists and mathematicians in this field.

"Perhaps this is the biggest difference... They always try their best to give the children the best."

While expressing his emotion, Zhang Jinshunzi focused his attention on the classroom, instructing the children from time to time. The class ended quickly. When all the children were sent out of the classroom and to the school gate, Zhang Jinshunzi saw Natasha Liu, who was wearing a gymnastics suit and sending the children out.

Here, all married women take their husband's surname. Whether in Europe or Asia, it is a tradition for women to change their surnames after marriage. The same is true for Natasha, who married from the Soviet Union.

"Natasha, how is it, is everything going well?"

"Yes, it's going well. I tell you, I found some very good seedlings."

Natasha was a little excited and immediately shared with her colleagues:

"There are a few children who are particularly suited to rhythmic gymnastics. I guarantee that as long as they practice hard, they will definitely become Olympic athletes."

The reason why the school offers rhythmic gymnastics classes is because of Natasha's arrival. She used to be a rhythmic gymnastics athlete from the Soviet Union and just got married here this year. She came to the school on the recommendation of the employment agency, and the school naturally opened rhythmic gymnastics classes.

Just like Zhang Jinsunzi, she teaches English, but that does not prevent her from teaching piano because it is her specialty.

Looking at the somewhat excited Natasha, Zhang Jinshunzi smiled and said:

"See how excited you are. It's just to cultivate a hobby. If they like it, they will naturally practice more."

"like?"

Natasha was stunned and said:

"Shouldn't they like it? They should practice with all their might and strive to achieve excellent results in the Olympics. Then, everyone will be proud of them!"

Seeing Natasha's excitement, Zhang Jinshunzi said:

"Maybe. But it also depends on whether they are interested, right? After all, this is just an interest class!"

"Interest classes? No, no, we want to discover talents and then cultivate them, just like in the Soviet Union, they should enter special gymnastics schools and receive more professional training..."

Natasha only said half of her words, as if she had thought of something, and said helplessly:

"Okay, I understand. This is not the Soviet Union..."

It is neither the Soviet Union nor South Korea. This is where they are now.

Perhaps realizing this, the two smiled at each other. Finally, they chatted for a while at the school gate before saying goodbye.

Just when Zhang Jinshunzi was about to go home in the parking lot, a man came over and spoke respectfully.

"You must be Mrs. Zhang."

Liu Zhengye was holding a paper bag in his hand and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"I'm Liu Zhengye from the Korean representative office. I just happened to pass by where your wife works. I thought that your wife probably hasn't eaten kimchi for a long time, so I took the initiative to prepare some. I hope your wife won't mind."

When she heard the word kimchi, although Zhang Jinsunzi's eyes lit up, she still said:
"Thank you for thinking of me, but forget about the gift..."

Without waiting for her to refuse, Liu Zhengye said:

"It's just a jar of kimchi, just a little gift from my family, please don't mind it, ma'am."

After saying that, he put the paper bag in front of her, then turned and left. He left very quickly, leaving her no room to refuse.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu..."

Looking at Mr. Liu walking away, Zhang Jinshunzi shouted while looking at the gifts in the handbag. Fortunately, there was only a jar of kimchi and nothing else.

This made her feel relieved.

"Fortunately, it's really just a jar of kimchi. This should be just a small gift from the representative office to keep in touch."

Although it was only worth a few cents, the granddaughter of the day was still secretly delighted to receive this thoughtful gift. After all, it was sent by the representative office. Although Zhang Jinshunzi, who came from a wealthy family, did not care about such a jar of kimchi, she cared very much about the person who sent the kimchi.

This is from the Korean representative office! It's not a gift from my hometown, it's clearly a gift from Korea!

South Korea actually gave her a gift! Even though it wasn't the first time she received a small gift from the representative office, she couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

Sometimes people are always like this, what they care about is not necessarily the value of the thing, but the thought behind it...
