Emperor’s DinnerChapter 165: The Emperor’s Banquet

“You are not admitting your mistake to me.”

“You should apologize to Prosecutor Li!”

Zhao Zhengzhe quickly kowtowed to Lee Se-hyun, admitting his mistake, hoping Lee Se-hyun would forgive his ignorance.

Zhao Zhengzhe was in tears, as if his own father had died, and said, “Prosecutor Li, it…it was I who failed to recognize your eminence.”

“Please…please have mercy and treat me like a fart, just let me off the hook.”

“I will never again harbor improper thoughts about Kim Ji-won!”

Kim Ji-won?

Lee Se-hyun was speechless. The way you put it, others might think I am a greedy and lustful person.

Fighting with a Prosecutor over an Idol from the entertainment industry.

How embarrassing is that?

In fact, to outsiders, that’s exactly how it looked.

Councilman Cho’s son and Lee Se-hyun, the rising star Prosecutor, were rivals for a woman’s affection.

Councilman Cho thought so.

Deputy Director Cui also thought so.

Everyone thought so.

Lee Se-hyun’s label was irreversible.

A lecher.

Especially fond of Idols in the entertainment industry.

This was the analysis report of Lee Se-hyun’s character from various forces.

Otherwise, how do you explain why you acquired YG Entertainment?

Who doesn’t know that the mastermind behind YG Entertainment is you, Lee Se-hyun?

It’s nothing more than wanting to openly turn the entertainment industry into your own harem.

Lee Se-hyun waved his hand, impatiently saying, “Councilman Cho, stop with this father-son affection here.”

“I don’t have a habit of watching crosstalk performances.”

Councilman Cho’s face turned purple like a pig’s liver. I just crippled my own son, you damn well say I’m performing?

Zhao Zhengzhe almost vomited blood and died upon hearing this, his brain surging with blood. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

He fainted.

Lee Se-hyun exclaimed in surprise, “Oh dear… your distinguished son has fainted, quick, someone!”

“sibal! sibal! Call an ambulance quickly!”

“Councilman Cho, please accept my condolences. Your main account isWasted, but you can still restart a new one. At your age, there’s still time.”

Councilman Cho’s mouth twitched. Although Lee Se-hyun was speaking the plain truth.

But what does restarting a new account have to do with you?

I have so many new accounts outside, it’s flying.

Zhao Zhengzhe lay on the ground, hearing Lee Se-hyun’s exaggerated voice, and twitched.

“si…bal.”

I think he can still be saved.

With the help of the kind-hearted Lee Se-hyun, Zhao Zhengzhe successfully and safely waited for the ambulance to arrive.

Watching Zhao Zhengzhe being carried onto the ambulance.

Everyone had different thoughts.

Lee Se-hyun thought, this guy’s will to live is quite strong. Well, if he died after a few tumbles, he’d truly have to restart a new account.

So weak.

Whether he can pass on the family line in the future is a problem.

“Cough, cough.”

Councilman Cho coughed and said, “How about we go into the room first and have some tea?”

Councilor Cui nodded and said, “Junior Brother, what is your opinion?”

Lee Se-hyun, of course, had no objection. This was just the beginning. Although Zhao Zhengzhe’s legs were crippled and he was furious enough to stay in a small white room.

But he still hadn’t received compensation for emotional distress.

If they wanted to reconcile, they had to offer some real money. What good was just beating his son?

Besides, Councilman Cho beating his son was none of his business.

It was Councilman Cho who had a problem.

Councilman Cho led them to a luxurious tea room.

Lee Se-hyun looked at a painting hanging on the wall and fell into thought.

“This abstract technique, this exaggerated color expression, could it be…?”

Councilman Cho said proudly, “Prosecutor Li, do you also understand the art of painting?”

“That’s right, this painting is the work of the famous abstract artist, Yaogao.”

“Its name is ‘Swallowed Star’.”

What?!

Lee Se-hyun’s eyes almost popped out. I can understand you saying Yaogao, it’s a parallel universe after all.

This is probably Van Gogh’s brother, Yaogao.

But how did your ’Starry Night’ become ’Swallowed Star’?

If he remembered correctly, this name seemed to be a popular online novel, right?

Councilman Cho saw Lee Se-hyun’s shocked expression.

Councilman Cho thought, this Prosecutor Li seems to have an interest in famous paintings?

If this matter could be resolved, it wouldn’t be impossible to part with the painting and give it to Lee Se-hyun.

But before that.

First, give Lee Se-hyun a small taste of the beauty of the United States.

Councilman Cho intended for them to sit down and chat. Just as Lee Se-hyun was wondering.

Councilman Cho twisted a hidden button, and the bookshelf behind them suddenly rotated.

A hidden passage opened.

Not to mention Lee Se-hyun was confused.

Deputy Director Cui also looked at Lee Se-hyun in confusion.

Confused fruit on the confused tree, you and I under the confused tree.

This idiom perfectly described their feelings.

Councilman Cho invited, “Please!”

Lee Se-hyun felt a bit curious and quickly got up, wanting to investigate what treasure was hidden in this secret room.

Making Councilman Cho go to the trouble of creating a secret room with a mechanism.

Deputy Director Cui pondered for a moment, then followed. What exactly did this Councilman Cho mean?

The three entered the secret room.

Lee Se-hyun was too shocked to speak.

“I… I’m speechless!”

Inside the secret room, green banknotes were piled up everywhere, forming small mountains.

This… this must be at least a hundred million US dollars, right?

Perhaps even more… Lee Se-hyun said that he had also seen money before, tens of millions of US dollars, he had seen and spent it.

But…

…a room full of US dollar cash, he was truly shocked.

Ten Zhao Dehans wouldn’t have embezzled as much as you, right?

Lee Se-hyun admitted that he had underestimated Councilman Cho a bit.

After all, he was a veteran councilor, President Kim’s little follower, and the future Mayor of Capital City.

Feeling Lee Se-hyun’s gaze.

Councilman Cho smiled and said, “Prosecutor Li, as long as you are willing, you are the owner of this room.”

“All the US dollars inside are yours.”

“Heh heh.”

Lee Se-hyun gave an awkward laugh and said, “Councilman Cho is joking.”

If I accepted this money, I’m afraid my handle would fall into your hands in the future.

Whether from an emotional or legal perspective.

You would have me firmly in your grasp.

“I’m serious.” Councilman Cho said earnestly.

“I’m serious too!” Lee Se-hyun said without hesitation, “A gentleman loves money, but acquires it through proper channels.”

“Besides, I’m not very interested in money.”

“No matter how much money there is, to me, it’s no different from my monthly salary.”

A Prosecutor’s salary in The Peninsula is 400,000 won per month.

High salaries to prevent corruption.

It can be said that Prosecutors in The Peninsula have never been poor.

Facing Lee Se-hyun’s refusal, Councilman Cho wasn’t angry.

After all, some people in this world like money, some like power, and some even like lust.

Since a monetary offensive couldn’t corrupt Lee Se-hyun.

Then they would have to try other approaches.

Deputy Director Cui on the side was stunned; it was his first time seeing so many US dollars.

As a student taught by Minister Cheng, Deputy Director Cui wasn’t particularly keen on money either.

Seeing so many green banknotes for the first time, he was a bit shocked.

Of course, as the Vice Minister of the Capital City Central Prosecutor’s Office.

Deputy Director Cui would be even more ruthless than Councilman Cho if he wanted to make money.

Councilman Cho said, “Prosecutor Li, I know you’re quite interested in the entertainment industry.”

“It just so happens that my good-for-nothing son dabbled in some industries in the entertainment sector.”

“Consider it a gift of apology, I’ll give it to you.”

“Give it to me?”

Lee Se-hyun gasped. The Zhao family’s entertainment industry assets were more than just a simple artist agency like Starship Entertainment.

There were also many record companies, newspapers, and other related industries.

It’s just that Starship Entertainment was the largest and most famous among them.

However, all the industries combined were also incredibly formidable.

At least several hundred million US dollars in assets.

Money or no money, it didn’t matter.

The most crucial thing was that it could help Lee Se-hyun establish a foothold in the entertainment industry and complete the upstream and downstream cycle.

Moreover, the Zhao family explicitly withdrew.

It would be easier for Lee Se-hyun and his side to deal with those at Starship Entertainment who were secretly defiant.

Truly purging Starship Entertainment.

Maximizing the company’s efficiency.

Lee Se-hyun was a little tempted. The Zhao family withdrawing and him reasonably acquiring the assets wouldn’t count as bribery.

It was a legitimate business transaction.

Shixian reluctantly nodded and said, “Councilman Cho is an honest man.”

“As an ancient Chinese saying goes, harmony is precious.”

“I also apologize to your esteemed son. For any offenses, I hope you will be very understanding.”

Councilman Cho smiled: “Prosecutor Li has a magnanimous heart. At such a young age, with such a broad perspective, his future is surely limitless.”

“Not at all, not at all. Councilman Cho is still sharp as ever, just occupying a position, only eating and not working.”

Councilman Cho was stunned for a moment, then said, “Prosecutor Li, you are truly humorous!”

This Lee Se-hyun really spoke sharply.

But he was a fellow who knew when to retreat.

He had originally prepared to put in some effort, but he didn’t expect Shixian to be settled in the first step.

It seems he will have less to do.

Councilman Cho beamed with joy: “Prosecutor Li, at tonight’s banquet, I have also prepared a mysterious gift for you.”

“I hope you will honor my old face.”

“Mysterious gift?!” Lee Se-hyun was incredulous. Was this old man senile?

I treated his son like that.

And he’s still giving me a gift?

It couldn’t be a trap, could it?

Seeing Shixian hesitate, Councilman Cho said, “Minister Han will also be there.”

“Minister Han will also be there.”

Shixian thought, if Han Kang-sik is going, then I’m relieved.

He didn’t trust Councilman Cho, but he did trust people within the Prosecutor’s Office system.

Moreover, Han Kang-sik was his former superior.

However, Shixian still turned and asked, “Senior Brother Cui, are you going too?”

Deputy Director Cui waved his hand, refusing, “I have other engagements tonight.”

He had other engagements.

Then he couldn’t attend.

Shixian felt a little regretful. Compared to Councilman Cho, he trusted Han Kang-sik more, and compared to Han Kang-sik, he trusted Deputy Director Cui even more.

The master-disciple relationship was there.

If Deputy Director Cui betrayed him, he probably wouldn’t be able to face their teacher.

Soon, night fell.

The city of Capital City, a dazzling array of lights and revelry, was just beginning its nightly carnival.

Lee Se-hyun and Councilman Cho arrived at a banquet.

“Councilman Cho!”

“Councilor!”

People constantly raised their glasses to greet Councilman Cho.

Most of them were well-dressed social elites, especially a large portion from the Prosecutor’s Office.

There was also a portion from the Prosecutor’s Office.

Shixian’s gaze was surprised because he saw Yang Dong-cheol.

Yang Dong-cheol also saw him, walked over, and said, “Councilman Cho.”

“Shi… Shixian.”

“You know each other?” As soon as Councilman Cho said this, he regretted it. They are both Prosecutors, how could they not know each other?

After Yang Dong-cheol finished greeting, many other Prosecutors who were colleagues at the Capital City Central Prosecutor’s Office came over to greet Shixian.

“Brother Wang! Brother Xian!”

“Brother Li, why are you here?”

“Brother Li, Councilman Cho is here. Isn’t this Lee Se-hyun from the Eastern District Prosecutor’s Office?”

Why do so many people know him?

He seemed to be a very popular figure.

Most of the people here were Han Kang-sik’s subordinates.

Either from the Capital City Central Prosecutor’s Office or from the Strategy Department of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.

Basically, they were all loyal subordinates of Han Kang-sik.

Shixian was also very happy to see old acquaintances again. Playing basketball and chasing Idols together back then was also a great joy in life.

Yang Dong-cheol saw this and said, “Councilman Cho, can we borrow Prosecutor Li for a while?”

Councilman Cho was, after all, a big shot on equal footing with Minister Han.

Although Yang Dong-cheol was unclear why Shixian had come with Councilman Cho.

He still spoke politely.

How could Councilman Cho refuse?

He originally intended to mend his relationship with Shixian.

Naturally, he approved with both hands.

So Shixian was pulled aside by Yang Dong-cheol and the others, and they started reminiscing about their glorious past.

“Brother Xian, we still vividly remember you shattering the backboard back then.”

“You wouldn’t believe it, ever since that time, Prosecutor Kang hasn’t dared to play basketball in the Prosecutor’s Office gym.”

“Is that so?”

“Brother Li, I heard you were transferred to the Eastern District Prosecutor’s Office. How is it there?”

“Your news is outdated. Brother Li is now in the Military Prosecution Department, and he’s a Section Chief!”

“sibal! Brother Li is Brother Li, he’s awesome no matter where he goes!”

“Brother Li, have you heard? That Seo Taesoo secretly got involved with a celebrity.”

Shixian asked curiously, “This… I really don’t know.”

The chubby Prosecutor from back then said, “This news has spread throughout our Prosecutor’s Office.”

“I heard he got someone pregnant.”

“If Seo Taesoo wasn’t Minister Han’s favorite subordinate right now, and Chief Yang hadn’t suppressed the news, he’d be finished.”

“It wouldn’t go that far.” Shixian said.

He suddenly remembered that he also had ambiguous relationships with a few celebrity Idols.

Fortunately, he was single now.

Even if others tried to make an issue of it, it would be useless.

“Alas, Seo Taesoo is a henpecked husband. His wife is a Chaebol heiress. If she found out, he’d be in big trouble.”

Just as they were speaking, the main characters arrived.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Seo Taesoo and Minister Han, along with their entourage, walked over.

Minister Han was followed by a large group of people.

They had an extraordinary presence.

They looked very arrogant, like the Axe Gang boss from a certain beach.

Minister Han walked over and first saw Lee Se-hyun, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

After Han Kang-sik finished greeting Councilman Cho and the others, he walked directly towards Shixian.

“axi! Look, who is this?”

“Isn’t this our little basketball prince?!”

Han Kang-sik warmly embraced Shixian.

Shixian also flattered him, “Minister, you are still as dashing and handsome as ever.”

Han Kang-sik laughed heartily.

He hadn’t seen Shixian for a long time, and he was genuinely happy.

“Good boy! I thought you had forgotten about me, your Minister.”

Seo Taesoo also came over to interject, “Brother Li, we must have a good drink tonight.”

“The Minister often mentions you privately.”

Mentions me?

Shixian heard this and thought that Seo Taesoo had also learned to talk nonsense.

What good things could Han Kang-sik mention about him? It would be good enough if he didn’t complain about him.

After all, not every Prosecutor dared to threaten a Minister.

Oh, right.

It is said that Han Kang-sik’s former superior, the Chief Prosecutor of the Capital City Central Prosecutor’s Office, also seems to have been transferred to the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.

Becoming the Vice Minister of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.

Shixian couldn’t help but give Han Kang-sik a thumbs up in his heart, how could he not have been discovered after so long?

He truly was a role model for our generation.

When it comes to being a kept man, Han Kang-sik is the one.

Learn!

Must learn!

“Cough, cough!”

Councilman Cho started coughing again, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

“Welcome, everyone.”

“For giving me, Zhao, the honor of your presence, I raise this toast to you all!”

Councilman Cho raised his glass to everyone.

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted:

“Councilman Cho, what are you saying? Who doesn’t know you’re President Kim’s confidant?”

“Not giving you face is not giving the President face!”

“Exactly, exactly! Councilman Cho, I wish you in advance to become the Mayor of Capital City.”

“Cheers!”

“Drink!”
