The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

[Episode 69] Deal with Governor Kang Eung-ryong

Si-Woo Lee, who is sitting in a Korean restaurant with a nervous expression in a suit, touched the sleeves of his shirt.

“Don’t be nervous. The governor is a kind person, sir.”

“ah… Yes, Secretary Shin Ae-ra.”

It was at the request of Governor Kang Eung-ryong and Shin Ae-ra to take a seat.

And after a while, the tightly closed sliding door was pushed aside, and a virtuous man came in.

Si-woo Lee got up from his seat and bowed his head, and Eung-ryong Kang smiled and held out his hand.

“My name is Eung-ryong Kang, Governor of Gyeonggi Province.”

“My name is Siwoo Lee, the representative of Nuri Recycling, Governor.”

Siwoo Lee, who politely held his hand, tried to hide his trembling voice.

because it was the first time

It was not easy to have a seat like this with a person who was about the governor.

“Sit down. Today, I asked to meet CEO Lee first, so I will pay for the food.”

“Oh, no. I… … .”

“If I hear that the governor has been served, I might be in trouble. Let me sit down.”

At Kang Eung-ryong’s words, Si-woo shrugged and sat down.

Kang Eung-ryong looked at Lee Si-woo.

He was a more handsome young man than I expected.

‘I heard that you dropped out while attending the theater and film department. I thought I’d go with the basic look.’

There was a reason Kang Eung-ryong created this place.

It was just to ask Lee Si-woo one thing.

“Would you like to hear why I wanted to meet this representative?”

“yes. Please tell me, Governor.”

Two years have passed since I became the governor.

Most of the promises have been faithfully carried out so far, but the problem is that the promises of follow-up treatment by unrelated people have not been fulfilled.

This was a promise made for the socially vulnerable, and I thought it was something that could be dealt with without any problems.

However, there was no waste business that was actively engaged in such activities as Nuri Recycling.

Last year, a waste company was designated to dispose of the belongings of unrelated people.

Unfortunately, the waste company received only support and did not work properly.

“Give me an interview.”

“Yes?”

“The knight will do well. It could also be used for the purpose of promoting Nuri recycling.”

“What kind of interview should I do… … .”

“Could you tell me the truth about the memorabilia business?”

Si-woo Lee said he would think about his proposal, and then concentrated on eating.

Lee Si-woo, who returned to the yard after eating with Kang Eung-ryong, sighed deeply.

I had to decide whether to accept Kang Eung-ryong’s offer or reject it.

‘I don’t want to get involved with politicians… … .’

We found out about Governor Kang Eung-ryong.

An honest politician.

In his youth, he had the title of a businessman who respects human rights.

He was a businessman who worked hard for donations and socially vulnerable groups.

And, although I didn’t know it a while ago, when I became the governor, the thing I paid the most attention to was the post-processing of unrelated people.

‘The person who claimed that there are a lot of thieves in the country and that taxes are flowing into strange places. And the person who professed to correct it is Governor Kang Eung-ryong.’

When a talented businessman abruptly quit his business and threw himself into politics, people didn’t believe him.

why?

He was a businessman whose profit was paramount.

In good words, he could become an economic politician, and in bad terms, he could become a politician who only thought about the economy.

Kang Eung-ryong was a great person who rose from city councilor to provincial governor despite the negative gaze of people.

‘You know how to make an image of yourself, just like you make an image for a company.’

It was obvious that he asked Siwoo Lee for an interview to inform the voters of his achievements as governor.

Should he compromise with Kang Eung-ryong to lead Nuri to the top, or should she reject his proposal and make Nuri a clean company?

Entrepreneurs have nothing to do with politicians.

That was the general view.

“Let’s do a little interview.”

I decided to keep it simple.

I hoped that the citizens would pay attention to the post treatment of innocent people.

It was important for many people to know how lonely and lonely the end of the unrelated.

After Siwoo Lee got up from his chair and made a decision, he called Shin Ae-ra.

[Yes, CEO Lee Si-woo.]

“I will do the interview that the governor suggested.”

[You decided sooner than I thought. May I ask why?]

“I just decided to keep it simple. I hope that through my interview, it will be known how the post-processing of unrelated people is done.”

[It’s just that, isn’t it? Do you have any other calculations?]

“I made the calculations and made no decisions.”

A voice full of confidence.

There was silence for a moment. It seemed that Shin Ae-ra was judging Lee Hyun-seong’s sincerity.

[I will pass it on to the governor. Thank you for listening to my request today, CEO.]

“It was nice to be able to meet and meet the governor too.”

[Then, when the schedule is decided, we will contact you again.]

“yes. You worked hard today. Rest well.”

* * *

Si-woo Lee, who appeared at the appointment in a suit, looked at the studio with nervous eyes.

“Are you, by any chance, CEO Lee Si-woo of Nuri?”

“Ah yes. you’re right.”

“I am a reporter from the Kang Han Ilbo, who was interviewed this time. Nice to meet you.”

“My name is Shiwoo.”

After Lee Si-woo’s consent fell, an interview was scheduled in an instant.

In less than two days, an appointment was made.

The driver of the show, dressed in comfortable jeans and a white shirt, held out his hand.

“Don’t be nervous. You just need to answer the questions, sir.”

“ah… Yes, reporter Sun.”

“Shall we shake hands to relax?”

Seon-yeon held out her hand.

Si-woo Lee didn’t notice, but her hand was trembling.

An interview at the request of Governor Eung-ryong Kang.

Since he is the representative of a junk dealer, of course, I expected an elderly man to come out.

but what is this

Wasn’t there a young man who looked better than the actors or idols I met when I was working as a reporter in the entertainment department?

How long has it been since you shook hands with a man like this?

Still, as a player, the expression management was perfect.

However, she couldn’t help it except that her ears were red.

“yes. I wish you all the best.”

Kuk-

Si-woo Lee, holding Seon-yeon’s hand, smiled brightly.

‘Oh? This might be a hit, right?’

said her senses.

This young businessman’s article is sure to hit the jackpot.

However, more attention will be drawn to the face of the antique dealer than to the fulfillment of Eung-ryong Kang’s promise.

“… Governor Kang Eung-ryong could be buried in this way.”

“yes?”

“Hmm, no. Please sit down.”

When Seon Sun-yeon pointed to the chair and spoke, Lee Si-woo sat down again with a stiff expression as if nervous.

Seon Sun-yeon sat across from her and carefully looked at Lee Si-woo’s face.

“Maybe it’s a personal question… Have you ever been cast on the street?”

“yes? What is casting? … ?”

Lee Si-woo’s expression hardened as she spoke as if evaluating her face.

“Why have you never been contacted by the entertainment industry?”

“No, but… Do you have any problems?”

“Oh, that’s not it. just… It’s a face that is too precious to be the representative of an antique dealer.”

Lee Si-woo was not comfortable with the feeling of being evaluated.

What the hell does appearance have to do with today’s interview?

Can I really leave the interview to her like this?

“Hoho, Saddam was too long. Now, let’s start the interview. If it’s not an excuse, can I record it?”

“Yeah, that’s fine.”

Sun Seon Yeon started the interview in front of the recorder.

“At the young age of 27, is there any reason why you started a junk dealer business that other people shy away from?”

“It’s something I’ve been doing since I was a kid. My father was a junk dealer.”

“Ah, so you’ve inherited the family business?”

“Then that’s it.”

“Then what about your father?”

“… There was an accident at the scene. You left a year ago because of that.”

Seon Seon-yeon, who understood what Si-woo Lee meant, nodded her head with a solemn expression.

“I asked a rude question. sorry.”

“it’s okay.”

“I heard that there is one business that I think is important right now. It’s a post-processing business for unrelated people, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Starting with a simple question about Siwoo Lee’s business, the interview lasted nearly an hour.

“Well, one last question. Do you have anything to say to people reading this article?”

“I think the end of innocent people should be respected. In fact, orphans or people without family members hold funerals without any ties, but there are many cases where funerals are held without family members. The moment the bereaved family gives up handing over the body, from then on, the last of the unrelated person will end without a name and without respect.”

Recalling the last funeral and grandmother’s house, Siwoo Lee seemed to boil in the midst of painters.

I was thirsty for nothing, so I took a sip of the water on the desk.

“I hope that people who read this article will be interested in the post-treatment of innocent people. I will do my best to respect their final path. That is all.”

After finishing the interview with the last remark, Si-woo Lee looked at Seon-yeon.

Pressing the end button on the recorder, she got up and bowed her head.

“You have worked hard, sir.”

“You have worked hard, Reporter Sun.”

After the interview was over, Siwoo Lee was about to leave the studio for the next schedule.

At that moment, Seon Sun-yeon hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.

Siwoo Lee turned around as if asking what was going on, and then she shyly put her hand away and said:

“Uh… May I have your phone number?”

“yes?”

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. All in all, I think there will be another interview next time.”

When Daum said that he could do another interview, Siwoo tilted his head.

But soon after thinking that Kang Eung-ryong might ask for it again, he readily agreed, and entered her number on the note she handed out.

Sun Seon Yeon was carefully handed over as if the note had become a treasure.

“Can I ask you one question personally?”

“Is it personal?”

“Yes Yes. It’s not something I’m going to write in an interview, it’s just… I have a question.”

“ask. I will listen and answer.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

“… yes?”

Shi-woo was embarrassed.

Because it was a very, very personal question.

Unfortunately, I never had a girlfriend.

Even though I’ve ridden a tickling thumb, none of the relationship has ever progressed beyond that.

“… Can I make no comments?”

“Are you not there?”

“… … .”

“Aren’t you there? right?”

Lee Si-woo felt uncomfortable because it seemed like he was teasing me, but for some reason, Seon-yeon’s face looked very bright.

Leaving behind such discomfort, Siwoo Lee left the studio.

Sun Seon-yeon, who was looking at his wide shoulders, no, the back of his face, ate his mouth.

“You said you attended Dankook University’s Department of Theater and Film… Shall we find out?”

“What are you looking for?”

Sun Seon-yeon, who was muttering to herself, was startled when Shin Ae-ra appeared in the corner.

There was a sense of chill in her voice.

“Uh, when did you come, chief?”

“I was there from the middle of the interview. But aren’t there too many personal questions? Especially the last one was so rude.”

Siwoo Lee sincerely participated in the interview.

Even with the question that Seon Sun-yeon asks in a succinct manner.

“just… Personally, I’m curious.”

“Don’t be curious, and don’t do any research. This is a warning.”

“yes… … .”

Director Shin Ae-ra.

At the age of 27, he became a grade 5 civil servant and was a talented person who even served as a secretary.

Even though she was such a talented person, I couldn’t find any information about her anywhere.

“And I will take this.”

A note with Siwoo Lee’s cell phone number.

Shin Ae-ra grabbed the note with a proud expression.

Seon Seon-yeon, who had been robbed of the note, bit her lip.

‘Even though the secretary is a high position, there must be a reason why it’s so late. look at that face Obviously, there is something to believe in. I think we need to find out why Governor Kang Eung-ryong cares about 5th grade officers. It might be an attractive article source.’
