Episode 231: All-Out War (3)

National Tax Service.

The four institutions, the so-called 'Korea's four major power institutions'.

It is one of the National Tax Service, the National Intelligence Service, the Prosecutor's Office, and the National Police Agency.

From the point of view of the general public, the prosecution and the police are the scariest, but from the point of view of the business owner who runs the business, the thing that is scarier than the prosecution and the police, and even more than the compatible mom, is the National Tax Service.

Because the report of the imputation of the National Tax Service (寶刀).

The falcon of the nation's love for the company.

This is because tax audits are carried out by the National Tax Service.

Of course, for ordinary people.

'No, there's nothing to worry about as long as you pay your taxes well, isn't it? Hey greedy people.’

You might say such a simple story, but in fact, it was just a sound of ignorance and ignorance.

Because “tax evasion” in the tax investigation of the National Tax Service.

‘Lee Hyun-ryeong Bi-hyeon-ryeong’

It was because the scope of interpretation of the authority was so wide that the phrase “a nose ring when hung on the nose” was more suitable than anything else.

‘If you do well, you will save tax, if you do it wrong, you will avoid tax.’

Of course, there are cases in which tax evasion is counteracted by tax saving, but... Unless he had great wealth and connections, it was extremely rare.

For this reason, most business operators have no choice but to despair when their business is caught as the target of a tax audit.

To be the target of a tax audit meant that the company's transparency was questioned, and that it was being attacked indiscriminately from all sides.

‘Did the tax investigation have a decisive effect on the Dong-A Ilbo, which took the lead in the struggle for democracy in the 70s and 80s, to become the current Chojung-dong?”

But today... … .

That terrifying weapon was aimed at me and fired.

“… … .”

When you lift your head, you see an unfamiliar landscape.

A desk with only the monitor and keyboard left and documents scattered here and there.

and… … .

“Huh, this is just a battlefield… . I can't even clean it up for an hour or two."

“By the way, today’s class is a problem. No, I don't even have class materials for today because the teachers took away all the computers... .”

“Damn disease, why are you doing this all of a sudden… .”

Even people looking into the office with bewildered expressions.

A landscape I thought I would only see on TV, I never thought I would see at my academy, caught my eye.

“… after."

When I first heard the three letters of the National Tax Service from Lee Arin. The first thought that came to my mind was, ‘Why me?’

It was because I was proud that I had never done anything that could be criticized by society or against the law during my life and since I started running a business.

‘I hope the day will come when I will be subject to a tax audit by the National Tax Service.’

But after thinking about it for a while, it wasn't long before I was able to grasp the full story of this case.

Currently, most of the people who attacked me and the Office of Education are in a situation where even the existence of the academy is in jeopardy.For their own survival and their own hegemony, they had to bring down the subject who attacked them.

If they don't, all the sins they've committed up until now are in a situation where they'll eat them up.

[Extremely! The ugly ‘bare face’ of the moral hazard that pervades the academy]

[Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education’s decision ‘I will cut off the past for the future’]

[Citizens applaud the decision of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, ‘support’]

And they seemed to have found a way to give them the edge in that way.

That's right... Using the power of individuals and groups in power to legally bind me. It hurts my moral image through him and at the same time makes it impossible for me to care about attacking them.

That was it.

Because of course, the fact that a tax investigation is coming to me will seriously damage the image I have built up over the years. It was because it could even arouse doubts about the things I had been doing.

‘No matter how successful MCs, politicians, and entrepreneurs are, if they are involved in a tax investigation, they will be hooked in one shot.’

The so-called star fall.

It was an effective way to get rid of the biggest enemy in the simplest way.

Of course, assuming they have the connections and guts to do that.

‘If it’s Kim Ho-beom… Maybe that's enough.'

But there was one thing I didn't understand.

Currently, I have a friendly relationship with the people on the government side represented by Dokgojin. It was an ongoing collaboration.

So, from a common sense point of view, no matter how independent the National Tax Service is, they couldn't openly try to fuck me like this.

‘Because you will still need me for education reform.’

However, in the conversation with Kyung Dokgo that followed, I was able to understand the reason.

[Sorry, President. I've been looking into that issue as well... Probably because the National Tax Service is a more independent place than other places... ]

He conveyed the situation from the government side to me in a cautious tone, and tried to comfort me by saying that if there were no charges, it would be resolved soon.

“… Phew."

A sigh escaped.

Of course, as I have never planned a tax evasion plan, it was clear that the truth would come out over time as he said, but the problem is… By the time the truth was revealed, my image of the public would have already fallen apart.

[National MC Kang OO acquitted of ‘tax evasion’… But the ‘Scarlet Letter’ that does not disappear]

[Former National Assembly member Choi OO ‘Tax evasion allegations, a case that has already been concluded without charges’]

['A emaciated face' after OO Electronics' Chairman Kim OO's tax evasion controversy]

In order to reverse a negative image once imprinted, it takes several times the effort to create that image.

‘Incitement is possible with a single sentence, but refutation requires numerous documents and evidence.’

So, I couldn't sit still and wait for the National Tax Service's disposition.

As I said earlier, it is because it is the tax investigation person who can be convicted according to the authoritative interpretation, no matter how innocent a person is.

‘It has already been confirmed that there is an enemy within the National Tax Service.’

I started to roll my head like crazy.

'how will we do it? Which method to use? Is there any way in USB this time too? no. This time it's a tax audit, so there won't be any method. okay? can you be sure Can you be sure that you have checked all the data in it?’

However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see a way out of this situation.

'Damn it… .'

But I didn't want to sit still and wait for the National Tax Service's decision.

If there was no response while giving up here, it was clear that all efforts so far would be in vain.

‘I’m going crazy.’

But then.

clap-

“Come on, everyone, get up!”

Someone's voice was heard.

Let's turn our heads slightly.

A being who stands alone amongst the powerless sitting staff.

My disciple and the center of the operation of this academy.

Irene.

The image of her encouraging people with a determined expression on her face caught her eye.

“Everyone cheer up! Cheer! It's not our fault anyway, it's the National Tax Service's fault. If they are punished, they should be punished! Why are we so depressed!”

In an instant, I felt an electric shock in my head.

It was because the moment she heard her, a way came to her mind that would solve the situation.

Erin Lee, Crime and Punishment, National Tax Service, K-edu.

It was.

In her words, the original punishment was what the offender received.

then… … .

If you make those who should be punished get punished.

It was clear that their wrong choices would also lose value and fall.

With a faint smile, I looked at Erin, who was organizing the documents in a spirited manner.

* * * *

A dark space where no light shines.

A place where achromatic furniture and ornaments lurk like weapons.

“… … .”

There was a person leaning against the dim light of the TV screen and quietly leaning on a glass of wine.

His true identity is Kim Ho-beom.

He was the creator of the giant dinosaur K-edu of private tutoring, and he was the man who designed the situation that is now on TV.

squeak-

Kim Ho-beom, who filled his glass with alcohol, looked at the TV screen.

Then, inside the huge building with the sign “Hermit Crab Academy”, people with dozens of paper boxes and Kim Jun-young with a firm expression appeared.

[This afternoon, a search and seizure took place at ‘S Academy’ located in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu. The academy is headed by a famous lecturer, Mr. Kim... ]

In an instant, a huge laugh erupted from Kim Ho-beom's mouth.

"Hahaha. It suits you.”

It was because the loach, which had been avoiding his plan until now, was finally caught in the net he had set.

With such a satisfying smile, he suddenly looked into the darkness.

Then, in the place where his gaze rested, in the shadow of light darker than the deep sea, the outline of a person crouching, or even kneeling, caught my eye.

He smiled and opened his mouth.

“It’s a feel-good scene, isn’t it?”

Then an old woman's voice came from the darkness.

"Yes… . That's right."

It was a voice that seemed to be cut off at any moment.

Hearing that, Hobeom Kim revealed this and laughed.

“Heh heh, I don’t know why you failed such an easy task. No, how lazy were you while I was away? Yes? If so... I'm really disappointed. It’s not right, Choi Jeong-soon.”

In an instant, Choi Jeong-soon flinched her body.

Because her own failures in her past days have pierced her own heart at this moment.

“… There is no face.”

Kim Ho-beom shook her head as if it was not funny at her powerless answer.

"done. I'll take care of K-edu for a while, so in the meantime, let me reflect. Do you understand?”

Choi Jeong-sun's head fell to the floor.

"Yes. all right."

“Ttt.”

After seeing Choi Jeong-soon like that, he turned his gaze to the TV.

It was because he wanted to watch his troubled opponent suffer a little more.

But then.

smart-

Someone knocked on the door.

"what?"

Choi Jeong-soon put on an embarrassed expression at his question.

“I’m fine too… .”

“You’ll find out when you check it out. come in."

Then the door opened, and a middle-aged man with her hair half bald entered the office.

“Yeah, what’s going on?”

At Kim Ho-beom's question, the man bowed his head.

“Well, that’s when the government contacted the representative… .”

At the man's words, Kim Ho-beom made a puzzled expression.

“From the government? me? What happened there?”

Then her man looked at Kim Ho-beom and slowly opened her mouth.

"that is… . I ask you to appear as a witness at the National Tax Service's inspection this time... .”

Moment.

crisp-

The glass in Kim Ho-beom's hand was broken.
