I am Noble

00349 In the Name of Friendship

I thought Nam Gi-cheol was in such a short paragraph. But that was just his idea. Within a few days, Yusuf invited him home.

“I don't have anything prepared, but eat a lot. ”

I prepared a full load of batteries, making sure nothing was prepared. I felt overwhelmed by the endless variety of nameless dishes I left in Cheol. He knew for the first time. You can be overwhelmed by cooking.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't know whether the cooking went into his mouth or into his nose. However, he was a little embarrassed, but not very nervous.

I just kept wondering. I just came to you a few days ago and asked you the wrong question, and I just gave you 100 million. What brings you home this time?

“I don't know if you're okay with cooking. ”

“It was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality."

“I'm glad.”

After the meal, Yeong-woong and Nam-gi-cheol sat across from each other in the library and had coffee time.

“But what brings you here today...? ”

“Oh, I just wanted to keep talking about what I said before. ”

“Yes?”

Nam Ki-chul was embarrassed.Wasn 't that the end?

“That's when I heard the really good news. I'd like to hear more about that. what people think of me. ”

Of course, Remaining Season was able to set free for as many days, days, and all night. But after giving me the money, I felt weird asking you the same question again.

Why did this person suddenly want to do this? All of a sudden, what do they want to do with themselves by knowing how others see them? He's been living up to his good taste so far.

“May I ask why? What's so special about it? ”

“Oh, there's a reason, but I can't tell you that. It's very personal. ”

At first glance, Jeong Hyoju was embarrassed. Is there a reason you're ashamed to tell anyone?

Do I care about my social reputation? ’

Suddenly, I thought that. It's not that they don't understand much. Now that I have everything material, it was time for my eyes to return to that direction.

If so, it is very desirable. It will be a great benefit to society as a whole, not just the two of them. When I thought that, I felt uneasy about Nam Ki-chul.

If I say something wrong, it's wrong. ’

Should I say something that will make a good difference? I thought about it, but soon he shakes his head. What she wants is to tell the truth as it is. No intentional subtraction should be placed to derive a particular result.

“Very well. First of all... ”

Leaving her like that, she began to let go of her thoughts. He spoke honestly about what he had been through, the high places he had caused, and the people who were dealing with him.

Young-woong listened seriously. He constantly listened, frowned, smiled, and laughed nonsense. There was no dishonest reaction either.

“Thank you. I hear you. ”

“I'll be going now. Thank you for inviting me.”

Nam Ki-chul stood up to go back. Hyojoo Jeong walked out to the front door. She brings out an envelope like the last time.

“Ma'am, you don't have to do this... ”

“You have given me valuable time to advise, and I will pay you fairly. Think of it as an advisory fee."

Again, it was 100 million. In a few days, Nam Gi-cheol was excited when he had 200 million dollars. I felt like I was being rewarded for my hard work over the past few years.

But this was not the end.

“I don't know if you're busy. ”

“No, I'm not.”

From the third time, Nam Ki Rail was also excited. You get 100 million each time you come here. Anybody who doesn't like this, tell them to come out here.

But he was wary of taking money himself. I always filled up my head because I was worried that money would make up stories I didn't have in mind, or that he would just say something nice to hear.

What Eung-woong wanted to hear was an honest assessment that did not contain a lie. If you mix the wrong lies because of your petty greed, you will buy his wrath. Then I knew what was going to happen. Except for his family, he knew more about who he was than anyone else.

So Remaining Seal got close to a billion. If a bureaucrat becomes a director and receives a billion from a civilian, it's a problem. Originally small, he filed tax returns and voluntary tax returns under the name of forced medical care.

However, things started to flow in the direction he did not intend.

“President Yeong-woong has been asking for policy advice from the Southern Director lately. ”

“Oh, is that true? ”

“Yes. He has already invited you home more than ten times to consult for several hours. I hear you pay 100 million for every invitation you make. ”

“Wow, is that true? So, Director Nam, how much did you make? But wouldn't that be a problem? You're a government official, right?”

“What's the problem? I heard they filed all their income reports and paid all their taxes. ”

His direct reports found out where he leaked from and how much he received each time he went. So far, so good.

“I heard that the South Director is very close to Chairman Yu Yu Woong. ”

“Yeah? Why didn't we know? ”

“No, you have to be close. I've been a bargaining tool for years. He's the only government official. Almost his personal assistant. ”

I started to feel uneasy in Kee Seal's ears because my colleagues at the same rank were chatting like that. But it was still good to go.

“I heard that President Yeong-woong is pushing Nam Gi-cheol as Minister. ”

“What? No, Director Nam, he's still young. What minister are you? ”

“Isn't it about time anyway? President Young-woong is all about domestic Raid, politics, and finance, but Nam Ki-chul doesn't make a spectacle of himself. ”

“Shouldn't this look good on the other director? ”

“I know. He's got a very strong rope. ”

The superiors started chattering about the power structure. Nam Ki-chul was quite late to know that his superiors were talking about him. Seeing that they were not subordinates or colleagues, they were slow to pass on to themselves.

It's funny how you found out.

“Director Nam, I'll be honest with you. I led you so far. Don't forget that if it works out later. ”

My boss, who used to be close to me for a long time, brought it up one day at a bar. A man who quickly ascended from the NamkiRai administration to the Director. At first, I wanted to know what this meant, but soon I realized what was going on.

It's not because they don't understand why people have such misunderstandings. It's a common misconception.

However, he was embarrassed to be in the middle of this controversial street.

I started to interfere with my work At the same time, the spectacular figures came and started talking for several hours. Politicians and corporate executives also came to the house.

I thought he would never be tied to central power in his life, but he had become the hot potato of the Korean political plate. All senior officials aiming for, or close to, the Grand Duke knew his name. Nam Ki-chul, who didn't expect to get this attention in his life, suffered the same daily grief of visiting senior officials.

“A few years from now, isn't he going to go after the mayor? ”

“Maybe. Chairman Young-woong may be preparing to push himself into the presidency. ”

“I have to look really good. ”

Nam Gi-chul was stunned when he accidentally heard the story. President! He was able to confidently affirm that he never had such an idea.

The only thing Yeong-woong wants to hear is how others see her. There is no other intention.

But no matter where the world goes. Whether it is true or not, people judge what they see and believe what they want to believe.

‘President Yeong-woong trusts Director Nam Ki-chul very much. ’

‘Executive Chairman Yeong-woong wants to make Director Nam Ki-chul the Grand Duke in the future. Before that, I will be the Minister of Crystal Resources. ’

‘I need to be able to see Nam Ki-chul well. That way you can find a place on the political board. ’

There were some rumors that were far from the truth.

It was inevitable that she was already absolute in Korea. I think the radiance must be moved when I'm around such a person.

Until now, those who had never been to visit were afraid to oppose Su Kyung Woong's plant, or because they were too burdened to visit, you and I had no need to go to Lee-chul. All sorts of requests come to him, leaving an unscheduled position.

It was not so unfair for Nam Ki-chul. No, I'm already wrong about the number I received from you, let alone the number you asked for. What kind of trouble is this?

He explained diligently that he had no plans to run for the Games and that he was on to the next minister. But no one believed me. Everyone thought he was being polite.

I couldn't figure out where to fix it. Whenever Nam Ki-cheol came to work, he looked at the work with his heart inside the stone.

It was better to be bullied, and it was crazy to think that people would misunderstand and say, "How can I not do anything for him?"

It's good to get a billion, whether it's for an advisory fee or a medical education. The problem was to quit a billion government officials who thought they were going to work their whole lives. The widow, who knew nothing, said her husband had been sent to the next minister, after she was happy and married and told him everything.

“Huh? Why are you losing weight? Is there something wrong with your health? ”

Eui Ung was surprised to see a spotted season under his eyes. Nam Ki-chul stared quietly with a pale face. His face was saying:

This is all because of you! ’
