Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 238 Yuan Xudong's Fake Girlfriend
The second person to arrive was the clerk, Li Yilia. She gave Yuan Xudong a much better first impression, even a sense of amazement and surprise.
Li Yiliya, 24 years old, is a clerk. She has a melon-shaped face that is as delicate as a baby's, delicate features, long thick black hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, a pair of big watery eyes wearing big black-rimmed glasses, giving her a unique intellectual beauty.
The name badge hanging on her fair and slender neck was hanging in front of her towering chest. She was wearing a light blue shirt with all the buttons buttoned up, and a black hip skirt. The hem of the skirt was below her knees, and only a small part of her fair and smooth calves could be seen. However, her graceful body curves could not be concealed. She had a protruding front and a curved back, a slender waist, and a pair of small and exquisite white high-heeled shoes on her feet. When she walked, she was like a breeze blowing through the willows, charming and enchanting.
Her voice was also very nice. She bowed and greeted Yuan Xudong. Her voice was cold, yet tender and weak like a young girl, which made people feel soft in their hearts and perk up involuntarily.
All in all, this is a very capable and beautiful clerk, with a kind of Legally Pretty lady feel. Yuan Xudong had a very good first impression of her. After a brief conversation with her, he found that she always had a faint smile on her face, giving people a polite and friendly feeling. Such an intellectual woman is very suitable for the tedious and boring job of a clerk.
The third person to arrive was Yuan Xudong's secretary Park Eun-hye. She also gave Yuan Xudong a good first impression. She was a 22- year- old rural girl who had just graduated from college and came to Seoul alone to work hard. She had a standard oval face, fair complexion, and thick black hair that was a little naturally curly and tied in a ponytail behind her head. She was about the same height as Lee Eliya, both around 1.7 meters.
Park Eun-hye was wearing the black professional attire of the Central District Prosecutors' Office. She folded her hands in front of her thighs, stood in front of Yuan Xudong, greeted him respectfully, and then waited for his instructions nervously.
Looking at Park Eun-hye, who was well-behaved, even a little scared and nervous, Yuan Xudong smiled and encouraged her a few words, then arranged for her to tidy up her desk and check and replenish office supplies. This was a girl who was not very confident, and if Yuan Xudong did not find something for her to do, she would probably remain nervous.
Fortunately, secretaries do not need to do any complicated work and can do it well as long as they put in some effort. Yuan Xudong believes that this girl will definitely cherish this hard-earned job. After all, the employment environment in Seoul is not very friendly. There is a kind of condescending contempt and prejudice towards people from remote areas and local university graduates.
Compared with its neighbor China, South Korea pays more attention to family background and bloodline. There are countless unspoken rules, seniors, alumni, etc. It is difficult for people who are not in the same circle to integrate into it. For people at the bottom of the society, apart from getting into the three most famous universities in Seoul, other ways to rise can be said to be very few.
Moreover, South Korea's college entrance examination is different from that of its neighbor China. South Korea's college entrance examination only accounts for 50% of the total score, and the remaining 50% depends on the student's daily resume. Rural children have to make their own resumes, usually doing odd jobs, doing some community service, etc., while rich and powerful sons of wealthy families can go to Africa to help refugees, go to Europe to join environmental protection organizations, etc. It doesn't matter whether they really went there or not, as long as it is written on the resume that they went there. Add some donation records and they are far ahead of children from ordinary families.
Therefore, it is a big deal for the children of ordinary people to be admitted to the top universities in South Korea, or even to become civil servants such as prosecutors. Such girls can enter the upper class society, and such boys are popular candidates for blind dates. If you buy a house in Gangnam District, Seoul, then you can pick any girl you want. You must know that except for a few top stars, most of the stars in South Korea rent houses. Even they cannot afford houses in Seoul, let alone ordinary people. According to surveys, nearly half of the people in Seoul, South Korea do not have their own houses, and a family lives in a small rental house. The biggest dream of many young Koreans is to have an apartment of their own. Starting a business is just a pipe dream. That is the business of chaebols, and ordinary people dare not even think about it.
The last one to arrive was the investigator, Che Xiuhao, a 45-year-old middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His gaze was piercing and he was tall and strong. At first glance, he gave people a feeling of righteousness. Che Xiuhao also liked to talk with a smile. Unlike Jiang Zhentai, who had a lewd smile, he smiled kindly and was approachable. Such a smile was very suitable for comforting victims and doing some interrogation work such as taking notes. Yuan Xudong had a good first impression of him. As the oldest person in the team, Che Xiuhao was 20 years older than Yuan Xudong. Yuan Xudong treated him with the most respect. After all, respecting the elderly and loving the young was one of Yuan Xudong's few virtues.
All the people who were supposed to report tomorrow have arrived. Yuan Xudong said a few simple polite words, and the five people introduced themselves to each other. Yuan Xudong's small team was officially established.
Afterwards, Yuan Xudong continued to handle the case, while the others began to tidy up their desks, clean the entire office, and slightly adjust some of the unreasonable layouts.
As a prosecutor, Yuan Xudong is the core leader of the entire team. He has the right to fire any team member he is dissatisfied with, and he can also write some bad comments . Because of this, although he is young, everyone does their own work in an orderly manner and dares not disturb him easily.
During the cleaning process, Yuan Xudong took the time to glance around. The most eye-catching performance was that of Investigator Jiang Zhentai, who was sweeping the floor, wiping the table, moving flower pots, etc. He rushed to do everything, and it was obvious that he was a man who often did housework. The second was secretary Park Eun-hye. The girl was doing her own work quietly, occasionally helping Investigator Jiang Zhentai and Che Xiuhao. As for clerk Li Yiliya, after tidying up her personal desk, Jiang Zhentai helped clean her office area and mopped the floor very diligently. Li Yiliya gave him a sweet smile, said thank you, and then sat behind her desk to read a book.
As if she felt Yuan Xudong's gaze, when Yuan Xudong was sitting in his office and looking at her, she turned her head to look at Yuan Xudong. Their eyes met. Li Yiliya smiled lightly, nodded slightly and continued reading as if nothing had happened, with no intention of performing well in front of her leader.
Considering that she was very beautiful, Yuan Xudong decided to forgive her disrespect for him and continued to deal with the case at hand. The information showed that a habitual criminal with a long history of bad deeds had harassed women many times on the subway and secretly taken indecent photos and videos. This time he went even further and actually attacked elementary school students. He was caught on the spot by brave citizens. His mobile phone contained a large number of disgusting photos and various weird videos. The evidence was conclusive. Yuan Xudong complained about the weird school uniforms in South Korea and asked why girls had to wear such short skirts. At the same time, he sentenced the suspect to one year in prison and prepared to file a lawsuit with the prosecution.
As night fell, Hong Zhengzhu, the chief prosecutor of the Criminal Division II, called Yuan Xudong and invited him to dinner at the Brothers Hotel. His words seemed a little unserious. He said that he would take him to see some cute girls and introduce them to him. Yuan Xudong smiled and greeted him respectfully, but he felt sick in his heart as if he had eaten a fly.
Unfortunately, there is no way out. A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Unless he doesn't want to get involved in this business anymore, he can only respectfully act like a grandson and behave like Hong Jung-soo and the Minister of Colonial Affairs above him, criminals in official uniform, sanctimonious hypocrites, and one of the biggest cancers of the Republic of Korea.
Absolute power is accompanied by absolute corruption. Ninety-nine percent of low-level prosecutors crack down on criminals, but one percent of high-level prosecutors are the biggest criminals in the Republic of Korea. The entire judicial system protects chaebols and high-ranking officials from top to bottom. If any chaebols, members of parliament and other high-ranking officials are arrested, it is not because they have committed a crime, but because they have offended more powerful people and were completely crushed by their opponents with the iron fist of justice and imprisoned. By the way, the greatness and justice of the law are promoted to the spectators. Everyone is equal before the law. If chaebols and high-ranking officials commit a crime, they will also be punished by law, etc.
Seeing Yuan Xudong hang up the phone, Jiang Zhentai, who had already finished cleaning the office, poured him a cup of hot tea and said respectfully:
"Prosecutor Yuan, it's getting dark. Do you think we should go out for a meal to celebrate and chat about our respective situations and bond?"
This was their first meeting, and since the team had just been formed, they should have a meal together to bond over the table. Unfortunately, Yuan Xudong had something to do that evening, and Hong Zhengzhu was still waiting for him at the Brothers Hotel. Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Zhentai and smiled, saying:
"Not tonight, I have something else to do. How about this, I'll treat you tomorrow night, you tell everyone, if anyone's time is not convenient, we can adjust it."
"Okay, thank you Prosecutor Yuan!"
After hesitating for a while, seeing that Yuan Xudong was young and easy to talk to, Jiang Zhentai added:
"Prosecutor Yuan, you don't have to spend any money. If you want to go out to eat, you can just use the activity funds of the group. Anyway, the activity funds every month cannot be used up, and they cannot be accumulated to the next month. Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't use them?"
"Activity funds?"
Yuan Xudong was somewhat puzzled and asked:
"Isn't that used to solve cases? To provide subsidies to informants, and to reimburse allowances for out-of-town office workers, etc?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong did not understand these hidden benefits, Jiang Zhentai took the initiative to explain. It turned out that the prosecutor's team had a considerable amount of activity funds every month, which was about the same as the total salary of everyone. Yuan Xudong's basic salary was 6 million won per month, which was about 32,000 yuan. The basic salary of others was lower. Jiang Zhentai and Che Xiuhao were investigators, with a basic salary of about 3 million won per month, which was half of Yuan Xudong's. Li Yiliya and Park Eun-hye were even lower, with a basic salary of about 2 million won per month. The total salary of the five people was 16 million won per month. Therefore, Yuan Xudong's team had an activity fund of 16 million won per month, about 85,000 yuan. Jiang Zhentai finally added:
"These activity funds are kept by Secretary Park Eun-hye. You decide how to use them and just keep the corresponding records. As long as you don't transfer the money into your own account, other uses are allowed. After all, we often go out to handle cases, and meals and taxis must be reimbursed from the activity funds. No one will investigate each one. It can be regarded as a disguised subsidy from the higher-ups for us front-line case handlers. Otherwise, with our little salary, we would have to eat the cheapest boxed lunches when we go out to handle cases, and squeeze into the buses and subways with the citizens."
After Jiang Zhentai finished speaking, Yuan Xudong nodded to show that he understood, and then asked him to go out and count whether everyone would have time to attend the party tomorrow night. After all, it was an invitation from the leader, and it was a department dinner for everyone, so no one said that they had something to do tomorrow night and couldn't come, and asked the leader and other colleagues to adjust the dinner time for them.
After confirming the department dinner at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, Yuan Xudong tidied up his desk and prepared to go to Brothers Hotel after get off work to have some fun with Hong Zhengzhu. When he reached the door of the office, he turned around, glanced at Jiang Zhentai and others, and smiled:
"You can bring your family members to the dinner party tomorrow night. It will be more lively with more people. You can discuss the location of the dinner party and notify me when you have decided. Bye, everyone!"
"Goodbye, prosecutor!"
After walking out of the office, Yuan Xudong retreated after only two steps. Everyone in the office suddenly became quiet, looking at him and waiting for his instructions. Yuan Xudong coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then looked at the clerk Li Yiliya and said embarrassedly:
"It's like this. Hong Zhengzhu, the chief prosecutor of our Criminal Division II, invited me to dinner at the Brothers Hotel and wanted to introduce me to a few girls. I couldn't refuse, so I thought..."
Seeing the faint smile on Li Yiliya's face, Yuan Xudong made up his mind and said shamelessly:
"Li Yilia, can you come with me and pretend to be my girlfriend?"
"Do you give me money?"
"What?"
Yuan Xudong suspected that he had heard it wrong, but unfortunately Li Yilia smiled and repeated:
"It's time to get off work now. Plus, my job is as a clerk, and I'm only responsible for summarizing and organizing case materials. Pretending to be your girlfriend is a part-time job, so how much overtime do you plan to pay me?"
Looking at the smiling Li Yiliya, Yuan Xudong stretched out his right index finger in confusion and said:
"How about 100,000 won?"
"Too low, one million won!"
"make a deal!"
"What?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong agreed so readily, Li Yilia slightly widened his eyes and said:
"One million won, you agree?"
"Promised, let's go!"
Originally, she wanted Yuan Xudong to give up, but she didn't expect that he would actually agree to pay her one million won to let her pretend to be his girlfriend. Considering Yuan Xudong's identity as a prosecutor, and what he said in front of so many team members, Li Yiliya was not afraid that he would do anything to her, or refuse to pay her afterwards. Thinking that it would be nice to earn some extra money, Li Yiliya followed Yuan Xudong out.
After the two of them left, the remaining Jiang Zhentai, Che Xiuhao, and Park Eun-hye started talking. They discussed where to eat and what to eat tomorrow night, and gossiped about how the young and handsome prosecutor Yuan Xudong spent millions for the fair-skinned and beautiful Li Yiliya, and that he must want to make her his girlfriend.
On the other side, Yuan Xudong and Li Yiliya drove to the Brothers Hotel. Looking at the magnificent and luxurious hotel, Yuan Xudong looked normal. Li Yiliya beside him smiled slightly and said:
"This is my first time in such a luxurious place. Prosecutor Yuan, do you come here often?"
"To be honest, I came here often in my previous life, but this is the first time in this life!"
Raising his right arm slightly, Yuan Xudong looked at Li Yilia and said with a smile:
"Let's go, the Chief Prosecutor is still waiting for us. If you don't mind, you can call me Xudong!"
"Okay, Xudong!"
Li Yiliya held Yuan Xudong's right arm with both hands and smiled. Yuan Xudong smiled and led her into the Brother Hotel. They took the elevator to the top floor of the Brother Hotel. There were four security guards guarding the elevator door. They obviously knew Yuan Xudong. They glanced at Li Yiliya who was following him, reported to the intercom, and then let Yuan Xudong and Li Yiliya pass through the security door and walk into the depths of the hotel.
Looking at the cameras and various security devices all around, Li Yilia leaned over to Yuan Xudong and whispered:
"Prosecutor Yuan, what is this place?"
"I don't know either. It's my first time here!"
Looking at the luxuriously decorated boxes and the security guards in black suits standing at the door of each box, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"With so many security personnel, it seems that there are many big shots here for entertainment!"
