The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Chapter 102 Young people should prioritize their careers

"Oppa, when do you have time? I'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you!"

Lee Ho-young looked at the message Song Ji-hyo had sent him on his phone, smiled, and replied, "Okay."

He did lend a hand at the time, but it was just something he did on a whim.

Although he had no real relationship with Song Ji-hyo, he had a strong liking for this smart, tactful, and beautiful girl.

"Haorong, come here!"

Hearing Lee Kun-hee calling him from not far away, Lee Ho-young quickly put his phone in his pocket and hurried over to the old man's side.

After visiting and filming with Mayor Wu, they went to a hotel in Gangnam District together.

There's a cocktail party here, attended by political and business elites, the kind of big names from the peninsula who are always in the news.

"Haorong, one of my juniors! Representative Jiang is the next leader of the Great Power Party, you'd better curry favor with him!"

Lee Kun-hee introduced Lee Ho-young to an old man in front of him.

"The results won't be out until next month's election, not yet!"

"That's only a matter of time, Uncle Jiang. I must congratulate you in advance! I'll need your patronage in the future!"

As Li Haorong spoke, he quickly bowed and clinked glasses with Councilor Jiang, appearing very humble.

"Haha, Chairman Li, is he just a junior?"

After taking a sip of the wine offered by Lee Ho-young, Representative Kang turned to Lee Kun-hee and teased him.

"They're not married, and even if they were, they could get divorced. Who can predict what will happen with a child? But that doesn't affect my confidence in his abilities!"

Lee Kun-hee's words are quite intriguing.

It seems he's come to terms with his eldest daughter's divorce and no longer wants to get involved in her marriage.

But her words implied both a desire to distance herself from Li Haorong and a willingness to help him, regardless of whether he ultimately became her son-in-law.

Is this supposed to be a prospective son-in-law? Even a biological son wouldn't get this kind of treatment!

Isn't Lee Kun-hee being a little too indulgent towards this young man?

For a moment, Councilor Jiang's gaze towards Li Haorong changed.

"That Representative Kang used to be a prosecutor, and then served five consecutive terms as a member of parliament. He is very popular in both systems!"

Although there are seven candidates in this party competition, he and Lee Jae-oh are the most likely to be elected. Wu Shih-hsun is his man, and he's here to replace Lee Ming-po!

After parting ways with Representative Kang, Lee Kun-hee found a quiet place and pulled Lee Ho-young to sit down.

"Looks like this is preparation for Li Mingbo's presidential run?"

Lee Ho-yong's words surprised Lee Kun-hee, who gave him a surprised look and smiled with satisfaction, saying, "You have a politically astute mind!"

"That's because I cheated!"

Li Haorong couldn't help but think to himself.

According to his memories from his previous life, this guy will defeat Aunt Park in the local election next year, and then defeat Jung Dong-young by a landslide in the general election to become president.

His election can be seen as a victory for the chaebols.

After all, although he came from a poor background, he worked for Hyundai Group for 27 years, making it difficult to shake off the label of a chaebol.

"Actually, they'll find you very soon without me introducing you!"

"Looking for me?"

"With such a large propaganda platform like your Mars website, how could they possibly let it go?"

Li Haorong suddenly realized.

The so-called presidential election is essentially just a show.

The essence of this game is how to attract the most public attention and gain their approval.

His own Mars network has captured almost all the young people on the peninsula. Although most of them are not his party's voter base, as long as he wields his hoe well, there is no corner he cannot dig down.

If a group of young voters can be won over on MarsNet, it could very well determine the outcome of the election.

With only a year to go until next year's general election, some preliminary campaigning should already begin.

No wonder Lee Kun-hee said they would come looking for him soon, no wonder he brought him to meet these people today!

"So how should I deal with this?"

"As long as we don't offend the new leadership, we can give them some leeway!"

Lee Kun-hee's words greatly surprised Lee Ho-young.

He thought Lee Kun-hee brought him here to make him completely side with the big country, but this sentence seemed to be telling him to remain neutral.

Such contradictory actions suddenly made a thought flash through Li Haorong's mind: a cunning rabbit has three burrows!

"Chairman, what difficulties is the group currently facing?"

Seeing that Lee Ho-young had guessed it, Lee Kun-hee smiled, stood up, and said, "Come for a walk with me!"

Lee Ho-young immediately helped Lee Kun-hee walk in the garden outside the hotel.

"That guy surnamed Lu only has one year left in his term. He's in dire straits, and now he's like a mad dog, biting everywhere. Nobody knows what he'll do or how long he'll stay!"

The man surnamed Roh mentioned by Lee Kun-hee is none other than Roh, one of only two men currently in power on the Korean Peninsula. His story with his good friend, lawyer Moon, is very popular on the Chinese internet.

But to be honest, Attorney Lu's presidency wasn't very good.

His governing philosophy was to target the conglomerates, which was not inherently problematic, but he was too hasty.

He took office and immediately targeted former presidents and tycoons.

Then he launched political reforms, aiming to expand the power of the parliamentary system and use the "relocation of the capital" plan to strike at the vested interests in Seoul.

As a result, his administration lasted only a few years before he was impeached for the first time in the history of the Korean Peninsula.

Although the impeachment motion ultimately failed, it was a huge blow to him personally.

In an effort to reverse the decline, he launched a financial investigation within the government this year under the guise of anti-corruption, uncovering a large number of spokespeople cultivated by chaebols.

They even targeted the United States and Japan, although these two countries are indeed not good. However, the conglomerates of the Korean Peninsula all have American and Japanese ancestry and are heavily dependent on the United States and Japan in their industrial chains.

It can be said that he has now offended the opposition party, the military, the United States, and even the Democratic Party itself; he is surrounded by enemies.

Right now, everyone knows that he will definitely face repercussions once he steps down, but no one knows what he can accomplish in his last year.

After all, a cornered beast fighting back is the most dangerous thing!

Lee Kun-hee's refusal to acknowledge Lee Ho-young as his son-in-law, and his lack of pressure to marry Lee Yoon-hyung, clearly indicates his intention to protect Lee Ho-young and Lee Yoon-hyung.

In case she were to fall ill, Li Yinxin would be less likely to be implicated, as Li Haorong would be there to take care of her.

"No matter how much trouble that guy surnamed Lu causes, he can't shake the foundation of the peninsula, and you are one of those foundation stones!"

Li Haorong then comforted Li Jianxi.

"Heh, don't give me that crap. Let's put everything else aside for now and just get through this year! With this old man here to hold the fort, you can focus on your business!"

"Yes, thank you, Uncle!"

"Should I just call him Uncle?"

Lee Kun-hee suddenly stopped and looked at Lee Ho-young.

"dad?"

"Haha, you're great in every way, except you're too much of a womanizer!"

Young people should focus on their careers, not spend all their time chasing after women!

Lee Kun-hee jokingly scolded Lee Ho-young.

"yes!"

What could Li Haorong say? He could only nod in agreement.

"Let's go back!"

Having said what needed to be said, Lee Kun-hee turned and walked back, with Lee Ho-young supporting him as they walked back.

The two returned to the hotel, but Lee Kun-hee did not go to the lobby. Instead, he stopped in a room.

"You go first, I'll rest for a while!"

"yes!"

Li Haorong assumed the old man was tired after walking for so long, so he didn't say anything more.

However, as Lee Kun-hee knocked on the door, the door opened the next second, and two scantily clad young women helped him inside.

Li Haorong glanced at it and thought, "Good heavens, there are at least three or four inside. Can the old man's body really handle it?"

"Bang!"

As the door closed, Li Haorong stood speechlessly in the doorway, wondering to himself, "What did the old man just tell me?"
