Chapter 152
I will live as an actor Episode 152
Jeong Hae-seok (UK) thought. The premise that all humans are equal in ethics is a statement that makes no sense.
The common people cheered when the military dictatorship, which seemed like it would last forever, came to an end and a wave of democracy arrived. Their world is finally coming.
pestilence.
One of the basic components of society is none other than status. Do you believe the saying that dragons grow from streams? Arthur, there is nothing more false than the saying that the place makes the man.
For example, even those who pass the bar exam and become judges simply become part of the ruled class.
The ruling class does not want ladders. It is extremely merciless towards those who climb up under it, and builds a fence to prevent them from entering even a single step.
Scholarship student.
This was the fence chosen by Jeongil Group. The goal is to allow lawyers who passed the bar exam to become servants who protect Jeongil Group under the name of scholarship students.
A humble attitude as a lawyer, equality, fairness, and the life of a lawyer that does not go against everyone’s common sense.
Damn.
Even if you are a lawyer with a great sense of justice, your eyes will be dazzled by a huge amount of gold coins.
If there is someone who does not even have material desires, he or she will not be able to survive in the legal profession for long anyway.
In a jungle-like forest full of factions and politics, honesty was not a word that spoke of diligence, but rather indecision and demotion.
Loyalty.
Scholarship recipients become lawyers and fulfill their duties in their respective positions. On the outside, they are no different from other lawyers, but on the inside, they are different.
Instead of being a lawyer who is equal to everyone, he becomes a servant only for the Jeongil Group.
He is proud of the leash around his neck and wants to make it stronger over time.
After all, a residential-commercial complex with a clear view of the Han River and an expensive sports car would be something that the nation’s wealth could not possibly afford.
However, a mutation that had never existed before appeared.
“Lee Howon.”
The corners of Jeong Hae-seok’s mouth appear fishy.
It’s not even funny. Did he at least drink lye water? Suddenly, the guy who was no longer a scholarship student, but just a dog guarding the house, showed his sharp teeth at his owner.
[Jeongil Group CEO Jeong Hae-seok suspected of prostitution and drug use.]
-According to data reported anonymously, a person who appears to be Jeongil Group CEO Jeong Hae-seok is shown assaulting female employees along with a video of him taking drugs. In addition, additional reports were made that he had committed embezzlement and attempted murder, causing a commotion in front of the Jeongil Group headquarters. The stock price of Jeongil Group continues to… …
The anchor on the TV is reading a press release. The video reported as breaking news showed a person who looked exactly like Jeong Hae-seok injecting drugs with a syringe and mercilessly assaulting a female waitress.
“Like a dog.”
It was using the media. The prosecution probably distributed the data to put pressure on them.
Even media outlets that would normally bow under the name of Jeongil Group were somehow reporting the press release as breaking news. It was clear that someone unknown to Jeong Hae-seok was involved.
Kim Min-cheol, Lee Seok-jae, Hwang Seong-guk, Jeong Ha-seong… …
The names of affiliate executives echo in my head. It’s hard to know who joined hands with the prosecution.
However, I can assure you that among them, there was someone who helped the prosecution. To get himself kicked out of the Jeongil Group.
Jeong Hae-seok stood up and looked down at the scenery outside the window.
“You’re shaking like crazy.”
In front of the office building, countless people are already holding signs and protesting. It is reminiscent of the demonstration site of the democratization movement.
Jeong Hae-seok’s expression as he looks at those ants looks relaxed. However, the fingertips holding the cigarette were trembling slightly.

The filming, which started at the end of spring, was already looking towards fall. School had to take a break due to circumstances. This is because it was not difficult to combine filming and studying.
Moreover, isn’t there a plan to film an advertisement for Desiderio after finishing filming the movie?
“England.”
I was in the middle of reading the script. The assistant director came to the waiting room. Is something happening? Obviously, I had already received instructions regarding the movement route before filming.
“I have to go out quickly. “Your mother came to visit.”
“yes?”
It was unexpected news. I didn’t know that my mother would come to the filming location. As I hurriedly closed the script and went to the filming location, my mother came to visit.
“mother!”
As soon as my mother saw me, she smiled brightly as if she had won the lottery and hugged me tightly.
It was noticeable that he dressed up with care because he was coming to Seoul. I look next to me and see Mr. Kim from the side dish store also there.
“What’s happening all of a sudden?”
“I came up because I wanted to see my son, but I don’t know if I’m causing trouble. “I’ll just look at your face for a moment and then go down.”
My mother did not properly explain the reason for her sudden visit to Seoul.
Fortunately, I was able to find out thanks to Mr. Kim, who was accompanying me, secretly telling me. It was said that he posted it because he was worried that he looked too sensitive when filming an interview.
“Mom, I’ll find you a hotel first.”
“Hoteel?”
I wanted to be together at the filming site, but I couldn’t. His mother waved him off and said it was okay, but how could she send him off after seeing his face for just a moment? My grandfather also encouraged me to take a rest in Seoul.
“My son, I always have to take pictures with my body intact.”
“Hey, I can see who’s coming down right now. I’ll go to the hotel right after filming. Until then, please at least look around the hotel. Because there’s a swimming pool too. “Mom, you’re also good at material things.”
“What kind of swimming is this?”
Even as he said that, he seemed excited at the thought of visiting a hotel for the first time in his life.
Seeing things like that made me wonder if I really was an unfilial son. I didn’t let you take a look at one of those common hotels in Seoul.
Fortunately, Bongchun had asked his older brother to move his mother to a hotel. But why did you come with me?
‘Are you really going to become a new father?’
My mind became confused as a sudden thought occurred to me. But soon he shook his head.
At that time, the grandfather sneaks up and asks.
“England, did you intentionally not want to show me today’s filming?”
I nodded briefly with a faint smile. In fact, the reason why I sent my mother to the hotel in such a hurry was simple. This is because the scene that was to be filmed in a little while was too shocking to show to my mother.

Institutions obey the principle of top-down. This is especially true in places where strict order is required, such as the military and police.
The prosecution is no exception. No matter how prosperous a prosecutor is, if there is pressure from above, he has no choice but to proceed with the conclusion of the internal investigation.
Howon Lee looked like his teeth were breaking and biting his molars. The twitching cheeks and furrowed forehead clearly show how angry he is.
“Shit!”
The fishing rod has already been cast. It was said that he worked hard not only through the media, but also through the championship. Now all I had to do was catch the big fish that had taken the bait.
However, a strong pressure from above pressed down on my shoulders like a flood. Demotion was already expected.
However, there was even an inspection investigation that found that a coercive investigation was conducted into a case investigated in the past. It was literally proof that he was going to take off his clothes.
“If I have to peel it, I have to peel it?”
The Chief Prosecutor’s words still do not leave my ears. This is nonsense. If this opportunity is missed, Jeong Hae-seok will become a person no one can face anymore.
Howon Lee looked towards the cathode ray tube. Soon, the anchor is delivering breaking news.
-This is additional information regarding Jeongil Group President Jeong Hae-seok. There is a report that President Jeong Hae-seok’s sports vehicle has been proven guilty in connection with a traffic accident on the Gyeongbu Expressway that occurred about a month ago. The elderly couple who were riding in a light vehicle due to the incident at the time was initially reported to have crashed into a guardrail and died instantly due to poor driving, but an autopsy revealed that they were covered in flames and died instantly. There is a report that the culprit who caused this fire was none other than CEO Jeong Hae-seok. Let’s take a look at the video reported now.
There are bound to be some who think it is not right to become a republic. Among the ruling class, there are some who do not want to sit by and watch the Jeongil Group’s neglectful attitude. The media was one of those axes.
The video on the cathode ray tube was CCTV of poor quality, but it clearly showed a man getting out of a sports car, smoking a cigarette, and dropping cigarette ashes into the oil line to start a fire.
“I am Jeong Hae-seok, Jeong Hae-seok!”
At that time, at the entertainment establishment in Gangnam where the drinking party took place, Jeong Hae-seok was once again drunk and pouring liquor.
Jeong Hae-seok, who has been drinking for a while, suddenly hears that the video of his car accident has been broadcast as breaking news, and his expression changes.
“What a piece of shit.”
The presidential election was just around the corner, and it was a time when national sentiment was important. In this situation, both the ruling party and the opposition party came to criticize the Jeongil Group.
Moreover, President Kim Min-cheol, who was my uncle, played a key role. Didn’t he go on air and make a speech publicizing Jeong Hae-seok’s atrocities and saying that Jeong Hae-seok should be pulled out of the Jeong Il Group?
“That crazy bastard!”
After leaving the drinking party, Jeong Hae-seok drives straight to the mansion. Driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol is itself dangerous.
After causing a series of accidents like hit-and-runs all over the road, when he arrives at the mansion, an unexpected person is waiting for him.
It was clearly my father who should have been lying in a hospital bed.
“father?”
Even though I’m drunk on drugs and alcohol, I can’t help but notice that person. Chairman Wang is looking at himself with an angry gaze. Could it be that he was conscious when he was lying in the hospital bed?
-Did you really not think of losing your spot to such a weak child?
Suddenly, the words he said to his father came to mind. It was clear that his father would not forgive him.
Isn’t this the father who mercilessly kicked out even his own brothers? If he had forgiven me because he was my blood relative, he wouldn’t have assaulted me in the first place when I was young.
Jeong Hae-seok looks around. Fortunately, no one is visible except my father.
My father is still standing there, just glaring at me.
There is no reason to hesitate anymore. Because if my father were still alive, he wouldn’t even be able to take his own place.
If I had known this would happen, I should have somehow killed him while he was in the hospital!
Quack!
Jeong Hae-seok runs up to his father and strangles his neck with both hands. Astonishment seeps into my father’s aged gaze, full of age spots and wrinkles.
I bet he never thought that his son would try to kill him.
“Die, die, die!”
He shouts, strangling his father’s neck as if he were hurling a curse.
In the end, the father collapses helplessly on his seat. It doesn’t stop there. Jeong Hae-seok picks up a nearby golf club and hits his father mercilessly on the head.
This person must disappear. The thought that only then could I ascend filled my chin.
It was then.
“honey!”
uh.
Suddenly, my aunt runs down from upstairs and hugs my father. Behind the aunt, other executives who were seated on the second floor can also be seen.
Their faces are also filled with astonishment. Only then did the hazy energy from drugs and alcohol gradually return to sanity.
A bloody golf club is held in the palm of one’s hand, and the aunt is sobbing on the living room floor. Holding my horribly crushed husband.
