Chapter Fourteen, Putting All Pretences aside(1/2)
Minister Song's smile was very forced, but his various experiences over the years still enabled him to pretend: "You are joking, we are not lying to you."
"Yeah, you didn't lie to me. It's just that my home address happens to be where your car is parked. I was worried that I wouldn't wake up, so I reminded me to go downstairs in 20 minutes. I'm really sorry for costing you more than 20 minutes.
Gasoline. By the way, how about we go to the coffee shop to talk about these things? Won’t it be noisy?”
The golden glasses trembled slightly, "Are you kidding me?"
Lin Zhexun knew by looking at the other party's face that he was mostly right: "You parked your car here and waited for me for more than 20 minutes. But the weather is too cold and the air conditioner cannot be turned off. There is a car air conditioner on the ground.
Water can’t evaporate quickly either.”
"We just want you not to think of us as enemies, we are comrades-in-arms." Minister Song explained quickly.
"Comrades, they are indeed comrades. They are just comrades who treat me as cannon fodder. Just like the United Nations troops used Koreans as cannon fodder in a certain war." Lin Zhexun looked at Minister Song with an expressionless face. He could only see the look on his face.
Veins started to pop out and my glasses started to jump.
Lin Zhexun had to admit that he was cheap when he mocked Koreans by resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.
"I really don't believe that you can't find anything when you check my information. I told Li Zhien that I am a student of the Judicial Training Institute, and you still don't go back to check where I will go in the future. Since you pretend to know nothing
, then I will tell you: Eastern District Inspection, next week I will go to the Eastern District Inspection for an internship.
Okay, now give me a confidentiality contract, which also contains 50 million won in hush money. You said that I took this amount of money from an unknown source. Is it possible for me to explain the source of this money in the future?
Road? Also, let me act under surveillance cameras. This kind of thing is too dangerous and I won’t do it.”
Of course Lin Zhexun knew that as long as he put pen to paper, he might become the other party's lackey for the rest of his life. Part of the surveillance video might be cut out and released to fool ordinary people, but this is another piece of physical evidence.
"Is the recorder still working?"
Minister Song couldn't help being surprised, and his golden eyes no longer trembled: "You are joking."
Lin Zhexun was a little curious whether he was chatting with the other person's glasses or really chatting with Minister Song. Is it true that glasses are the real thing?
He smiled softly, opened the passenger door, and prepared to get out of the car.
"Wait a minute," Jin Jingyan stopped him, "I'm quite curious as to why the driver was asked to get off the car. The driver won't leak the secret."
"I'm afraid you'll kidnap me. I can't possibly shout that the navigation is wrong and then jump out of the window."
Boom!
The sound of the car door swinging resounded throughout the entire interior of the car. It also made Minister Song with golden glasses change his expression. "It's really amazing, amazing. This is not a rookie who hasn't come out of the nest yet. He is obviously an experienced guy. Now
My juniors are really getting more and more powerful, and they don’t give me any favors to my seniors. Don’t they even give me the courtesy and courtesy of my predecessors?”
Minister Song, with golden glasses, shook his head and smiled helplessly, reaching out to turn off the voice recorder in his pocket.
...
"How much does this card cost?"
"500 won."
Li Zhien nodded and finally took out a coin from his wallet and placed it on the roadside stall.
To be honest, I found that masks and peaked caps are really a good invention, at least for artists.
Although... walking around in a crowd with a mask on is really conspicuous. But there's no way she can really wear a hat on the street now.
Maybe everyone on the street will be ordered to wear a mask when going out in the future, so she won't be so conspicuous.
Li Zhien was walking around this messy cultural circle wearing a mask and a peaked cap, but his peripheral vision never left the movement of the van in the distance.
Lin Zhexun went up very quickly and came down very quickly.
There is no need to guess, the two sides must have broken down again.
Li Zhien sighed and walked towards the entrance of Hongdae's examination hall on his short legs.
As soon as she entered the examination hall, she felt a familiar smell that was hard to describe. Perhaps it should be called the smell of the examination hall or semi-basement. It was a blocked, musty, sour smell that made people chill.
, it feels extremely greasy in the nose, like the smell of rancid food, wine, dishes and bowls poured into a swill bucket. This is the smell that makes you feel like you are home.
The small mouth under the mask slowly tilted up a little.
To be honest, she actually missed this smell.
Unexpectedly, I could adapt so well to a similar place after a few years. I even felt like I was back home, back with my grandma.
At that time, I carried a guitar that looked not much smaller than me every day. Then I walked cheerfully towards the most cramped semi-basement in the familiar smell.
Walk back to your cabin, your safest home.
Maybe the memories will always be beautiful. Maybe there was no relaxing melody in her footsteps at that time, and she was just tired. But Li Zhien knew that she was able to persevere entirely because her old man was using her ears that had lost most of her hearing.
She wanted to judge whether she had come back safely through her footsteps. Because the lights in the semi-basement were too dim, the old man's eyesight was not good and he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
Thinking of this, Li Zhien took off his peaked cap and mask. He walked in the exam hall where people came and went without a face. Naturally, she knew Lin Zhexun's address from the employees of the company. Now it is almost a company
It's a secret that everyone knows.
She lowered her head slightly and walked straight towards her target. She walked very slowly, as if she was recalling her life on this road, and as if she was leaving time for her phone with low pixels to take a clear picture of her profile.
The photos in the gossip news must also be beautiful.
Ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ringing, ringing from the pocket of her down jacket.
He's the manager of the brokerage office.
"What's wrong with Room Chief Nim?"
The other party's voice was very weighty, like the one-pound magnet under the watermelon scale: "Zhien, the negotiation between the Minister of Justice and that guy has failed."
"Yes, I know." Li Zhien was not surprised at all.
"Also, have you seen the news that D agency just released?"
"No, I was busy just now. What's wrong?"
"D agency released the surveillance video of the two of you hugging each other that night. What exactly happened? Didn't you say..."
Li Zhien's voice was very calm: "Chief Nim, I understand. You don't have to worry about me."
"The PR document we prepared is in vain. Don't look at the Internet yet."
"Yes, I understand." Li Zhien looked at the wooden door in front of him and hung up the phone.
...
Lin Zhexun looked at the door. Unexpectedly, the guy wearing golden glasses was quite patient. Because Li Zhien was so diligent, he even chased him to the door of his house. He wanted to pretend to be dead, but then he thought of a guy in a suit and leather shoes.
Standing in the somewhat crowded and dirty corridor, it was quite conspicuous.
This family must move. If he doesn't agree to the other party's request, he will be annoyed to death by the other party.
The door opened very quickly. But what came into view was not the pair of gold glasses, but a little face that was a little pale, without any makeup, and even had very obvious dark circles under the eyes.
That's it, sit tight.
Lin Zhexun didn't dare to look into the corridor at all. He could hear whispers nearby.
The woman in front of me was crazy. She ran to the door of her house without any concealment.
Amid everyone's exclamations, they pulled her into the hut, and then with a loud slam of the door, everyone woke up to the fact that the man and woman were alone in that room.
But in the imagination of the melon-eaters, "Are you crazy? This is exposing my location to everyone!!! Not many residents here have seen me. How can I live like this in the future?"
Li Zhien's wrist was pinched with such force that it hurt a little, but she didn't say anything. She just bent down and took off her little shoes. As she walked, she looked at the small room of less than 10 square meters.
The air here is completely different from the outside world. The scent of ink emitted from the mountains of books piled up in the house is held hostage by the entire room, making it seem like the musty and greasy smell cannot break through the blockade of the door.
It's like a completely different world from the outside.
"Even if a big star like you comes to trouble, please disguise yourself. Wear a mask, sunglasses, and a hat!!!" Lin Zhexun leaned against the door in a state of collapse, trying to hear if there was any movement outside.
Li Zhien walked two steps on the wooden floor wearing white socks and sat on the only chair in the whole room. He said coldly: "I did it on purpose."
"On purpose?" Lin Zhexun turned to look at Li Zhien, as if he was mentally retarded.
"Not long ago, another photo of the two of us hugging each other was exposed on the Internet." Li Zhien took out his mobile phone and switched to the official SNS of D agency. Then he threw the mobile phone to the toad who was staring with big eyes. " said
To be honest, are you a bastard, a scumbag, or a dog in human skin?"
Lin Zhexun looked at the picture in the photo, which was still the familiar black and white surveillance picture. A figure that looked very much like himself was holding the petite Li Zhien.
Am I really a beast when I'm drunk? Or am I a beast in clothes? To attack a guy who looks like a 10-year-old girl? What a pervert.
"So what are you doing here? Is there any good way?" Lin Zhexun threw the phone to the other party, but his ear was still pressed against the door.
"Let's make it official. Just say you are my boyfriend."
Lin Zhexun was stunned: "Didn't you say that your career is still on the rise? Can't there be any bad scandals?"
"Exactly," Li Zhien curled his lips disdainfully, "It's already like this, why fight to the death? I really wanted to deny it before, and I didn't get the negative news if I could. Now it's to prevent the reputation from getting worse and to prevent someone from being malicious.
There are no unspoken rules to slander. So just admit it. You are my boyfriend, and we spent the whole night together."
"Why is this statement even more disgusting?" Lin Zhexun came back, then sat down on his bed, looked at the incandescent lights on the ceiling, and suddenly realized something: "So you left without concealing it.
Come in? Create a kind of famous girlfriend and come back to find her boyfriend who still lives in the examination hall? Isn't this even worse? "
"Then by the way, I will publish your information, saying that you have just passed the Judicial Training Institute and you are a good student." Li Zhien pursed his lips, as if he had been wronged in some way.
