The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

Chapter 334 Ten Years of Accumulation

"The country is like a big family!"

Members of Congress are the heads of this family; they are responsible for managing the affairs of the country, making the country's laws, working for the benefit of the people, and setting moral standards.

The chaebols are members of this large family; they possess enormous wealth and have a profound influence on building this family.

In this big family...

In order for lawmakers to better fulfill their duties, they need the support and assistance of tycoons.

Conversely...

Similarly, chaebols need the protection and support of politicians to better safeguard their interests and status.

therefore...

The relationship between members of Congress and tycoons is one of interdependence and mutual promotion.

and...

Only when both sides come together can it be called a nation!

Ding Xin spoke slowly and deliberately, and the more he spoke, the clearer and more logical his points became.

In a daze...

Zhao Taixie suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was not an entrepreneur, but a promising and outstanding politician.

That's some serious eloquence!

"A very interesting statement..."

After hearing Ding Xin's explanation, Zhao Taixie's expression relaxed, and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

She pursed her lips and then posed another question: "Your analogy is very novel. I haven't heard such an interesting way of speaking in a long time. But I'd like to know, in your heart, which side is the country and which side is home?"

About this question.

In the story just told, Ding Xin had already given the answer.

But that doesn't stop him from emphasizing again, "I believe that those who represent the country should be members of parliament like yourself, while the zaibatsu (conglomerates) represent the individual families that depend on this country..."

There was a pause.

Ding Xin added unhurriedly, "Only when the legislators govern the country well can the chaebols have fertile ground to survive; and only when the chaebols thrive can the legislators have greater confidence to build this country well..."

These words also imply a sense of prioritizing the nation over the family.

This elevated the status of legislators above that of chaebols, a gesture that was neither too significant nor too deliberate.

A cultured person, after all!

Flattery must be done subtly and imperceptibly...

Say it.

Ding Xin picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and savored the aroma of the tea on his tongue. A sense of pride welled up in his heart.

I'm awesome!

Just look at the look in Jo Tae-seop's eyes now.

How satisfied was this big shot with Ding Xin's answer...?

"very good!"

Zhao Taixie nodded repeatedly, smiling as he picked up the teapot and helped Ding Xin fill his teacup.

Gently set down the teapot.

Zhao Taixie leaned closer, looking into Ding Xin's eyes, and said with a warm expression, "For someone your age to have such insight is already quite remarkable..."

You've hit the nail on the head. In our country, politicians and chaebols are interdependent and essentially one entity...

I believe that in order to build a better country, politicians and tycoons alike must set a common goal. What do you think?

As soon as these words came out.

Ding Xin knew that the main event was about to begin.

He immediately sat up straight, his face solemn, and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's right!"

"Okay, I'll ask you one more question!"

Zhao Taixie held up one finger and said, "This is your first time attending a gathering like this. What are your thoughts on us?"

"Forehead..."

Ding Xin pondered for a moment, then said carefully, "Everyone here today is a leader in their respective fields. As long as we unite, we can build a solid foundation for our country's development..."

"That's right! They, including you, are all such outstanding talents!"

Zhao Taixie smiled, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said leisurely, "Therefore, I want to integrate you into a single force, and I hope that this single force can only be controlled by me!"

His voice was very steady.

So calm and uneventful that it seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.

However...

Ding Xin could sense a tremendous ambition and desire for control in these words.

Such a person...

Such words...

This made Ding Xin feel very uncomfortable!

He lowered his eyes imperceptibly. He, Uncle Ding, had never had the habit of being someone else's tool!

Women are excluded...

......

on the way back.

Ding Xin, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, rolled down the car window and sat side by side with Shi Dongchu in the back seat of the chauffeured car.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

for a long time.

Seok Dong-chul broke the silence first: "How was it, talking to Representative Cho Tae-seop alone?"

"superb!"

Ding Xin snapped out of his daze and replied calmly.

This was also his most direct feeling; that ambition alone made Ding Xin feel inferior to him.

"That's right, Representative Cho Tae-seop is really amazing..."

Shi Dongchu nodded in agreement, unusually, his words filled with emotion.

Ding Xin glanced at him.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he directly asked the question that had been lingering in his mind: "President Shi, why didn't you invite Executive Director Li Zhongjiu to this occasion, but instead brought me along?"

"Zhong Jiu, huh..."

Shi Dongchu murmured something under his breath.

Instead of giving a direct explanation, he began to recount his memories as if lost in recollection...

"At first, I only had one identity: the top leader of the Tiger Faction. Back then, I was always standing at the entrance of this banquet hotel, completely ineligible to go inside..."

He paused...

Shi Dongchu turned his head to look at Ding Xin, his eyes gleaming: "When we arrived, you saw those people standing at the door of the private room greeting guests, right? Do you know who they are?"

Ding Xin shook his head.

"I can tell you, I only barely became one of those people on the day the Golden Gate Group was founded..."

"this..."

To be honest, Ding Xin was a little stunned when he heard this.

To know...

When Kinmen Group was first established, it already had a certain scale and was in no way inferior to those small conglomerates.

At that time, Ishida Ichi was the chairman.

To attend such a banquet and only be able to get a position as a greeter is simply unimaginable...

"Very surprised?"

Shi Dongchu smiled, unsurprised by Ding Xin's reaction. "That's just how it is. There's nothing shameful about it. After all, even that position is the ultimate goal that countless people strive for in their entire lives..."

Pause for a moment.

Shi Dongchu continued talking to himself...
