Gender Reversal Politics

32. Proclamation

From noble mtl dot com

Members of the ‘Mana Coin Victims Group’ who were caught by Rekka and stormed into my office.

I brought them into the councilor’s office. As the aide advised, it wasn’t to drop me a cup of coffee and coax me back.

“There is no fact that I tried to take 30 billion won.”

Those were the words I spit out as soon as I met them.

“No, Jhuni Baekwa TV revealed something about you, but if you deny it like this, what are you going to do… !”

The aide said he was in a state of excitement, but after sitting face to face with me, he seemed subtly hesitant.

“Joo… Who do you think revealed what?”

“Jjuni Bag and TV. It has over 500,000 subscribers, don’t you know?”

“I know it’s a huge shame. I’d like you to start by explaining what he was revealing. I need to know the contents to explain or not.”

“I heard that Congressman will hold out until Ye-Sol Kwon is caught, and then resign as a proportional representation representative and go diving? He said that he even confirmed the facts to a reporter who was in the National Assembly. Journalists are not just dogs or cows.”

“I don’t know if dogs or cows can do it, but there are over 3,000 reporters in the National Assembly. And I have no intention of resigning from my seat.”

“Receiving consulting from a law firm to safely eat 30 billion won… ?”

“It is true that I sought cooperation from lawyers. However, it is not the purpose of eating 30 billion won, but I have prepared a defense logic in advance because what I will do in the future may be accused of promoting private sanctions.”

“Why was such a waste of time?”

“I shouldn’t have an unfortunate incident where I get summoned to the prosecution because of things like Kwon Ye-sol.”

“… Under.”

Everyone looked disgruntled.

The investors in front of me were all different in age, job, and appearance. The only thing they have in common is that they ate their property with Mana Coins.

To be honest, it was unreasonable to call them innocent victims.

Even before Mana Coin, there were many people who were so clever that they dipped it in a coin and then fell into the abyss. No one called them victims. The aftereffects of Manaya are so serious that even if investors complain of damage, they just pretend to do so and move on.

“I persuaded my husband to break all the deposits and screw it up, but it all evaporated? I was hit in the face with kimchi, but can I not go crazy? Yes?”

“I invested with money borrowed from my parents, so if I don’t recover quickly, I might be disowned and kicked out… Congressman. Please.”

“By the way, if Kwon Ye-sol is caught, the victim’s group gets compensation first, right? My daughter said so.”

The parties did not seem to doubt their identity as victims. Even after I refuted the fake news, I could tell from the fact that he continued to hesitate.

‘They probably want me to do something like a promise.’

It’s strange to expect help from someone you’ve come to ask, but it’s not uncommon.

This was also one of the reasons why quite a few members of the National Assembly avoided meeting with civil petitioners (except during the election season). If you leave room, even faintly, you will be filled with hope and believe in it. However, if you are too cold-hearted, you will harbor resentment.

Fortunately, I had no reason to fear that hostility.

It was because from the point of confiscating 30 billion won from my mother, or in fact, from before that, I gave up politics that didn’t make enemies.

After listening to the investors’ stories for a while, I coughed and showed an uncomfortable look.

“I don’t know why a meeting prepared to refute fake news suddenly turned into a meeting to discuss damage compensation. I cannot make any promises regarding specific compensation. Come back if you want that.”

“… Did you tell us to get out of here?”

“I never told you to quit. However, it is true that it is inconvenient because you suddenly came without prior consultation.”

“That’s because there was a good reason to come… !”

“Aren’t you here out of anger after seeing fake news produced by some issue YouTubers? As you all know, once fake news spreads, it is impossible to completely overcome its harm. The victim’s explanation is not fun.”

“… ….”

“As a result, you all joined in spreading fake news. The damage I suffered will be difficult to recover forever.”

The expressions of those who were defined by me as spreaders of fake news were distorted in real time.

It’s just unfair that you ruined your property, but you must be angry because you were even pointed out by a member of the National Assembly. It would be even more annoying if the member of the National Assembly was the son of a public official who earned over 30 billion from short selling.

Perhaps that’s why one of the investors started to flinch with his fists clenched.

It even occurred to me that if I hadn’t been a man, he wouldn’t have grabbed me by the collar, if not punched me. He wouldn’t mind being caught, but he didn’t have to bring himself down.

“I will end the interview here.”

“No, wait… ! Let’s ask one question.”

“What is it?”

“So, what are we going to do with that 30 billion won? How are you going to write it? Because you keep acting suspiciously, fake news is on the rise. Would we have come this far if we had always been honest? Everyone is busy… !”

I could read the will to listen to the use of 30 billion won.

This was the question I had been waiting for. I pretended to be worried for a moment, then shook my head.

“I cannot tell you.”

“Congressman keeps saying that.”

“It will be revealed sooner or later. However, if I told you in advance, there is a high risk of being distorted. Then I’ll waste my time debunking another fake news. Just check with the press later.”

It was as if I was going to shut my mouth for fear that if I told you guys it would go wrong. At this point, investors glared at me with their eyes wide open.

Because the momentum was quite bloody, Shin A-ram’s aide was snooping around me. Her class 9 friend, who came after her army, also gave her a worried look.

Some time filled with tension passed, but there was no physical fight.

“… f*ck.”

It was because one of them kicked out of the councilor’s room muttering faint curse words.

The situation ended as he followed suit, as if he judged that there was nothing to be gained by crushing other people as well.

Only then did Aram Shin cautiously approach me and start talking to me.

“Me, Congressman. I understand how you feel, but did you need to provoke her?”

“I didn’t embarrass you just because I didn’t want to look ugly.”

“Then… Did you want them to take further action?”

“Yes. He was so excited that he would try to get his revenge on me somehow. I’m not at the level of complaining and quitting in a group chat room.”

And the window that accepts their stories is probably Lekkas. Maybe he appeared on YouTube and exaggerated the stories he met with me. Like, “I was treated like a pig by Congressman Lee Su-ho.”

There will also be lekkas who produce more stimulating fake news with momentum.

“Get some lawyers.”

“Yes. Senator.”

It was a measure to sue all the kids who were so excited and rushed at the same time.

*

We didn’t have to wait long for a response.

From around midnight that day, Lekkas sniping at me began to appear.

There was even a channel that directly featured members of the victim group who visited my office. The level of criticism was also higher than before.

– “Unfortunately, there is one more politician who treats the people as dogs and pigs. Even a member of the Peace Party, who received money from Kwon Ye-sol and has national flags, did this? I’m not someone who makes money out of hatred, but I’ll openly hate it this time.”

– “Rep. Suho Lee? Just tell me honestly that you want to eat 30 billion won. You said you were careful that you might be criticized for encouraging private sanctions? That’s not what you expected someone to tell you it’s illegal. That way you’ll have an excuse to break your promise!”

There was even a child who spread fake news that my mother, the main character of short selling, had already returned after receiving only a pay cut from her.

How could I have done her behind-the-scenes work and claimed to have saved her mother… Of course that wasn’t true. I didn’t have time to waste on that.

Anyway, it was a thankful thing from my point of view because I had a reason to send it all together in one box.

In fact, there were many cases where politicians were reluctant to legally respond to fake news. If it escalates into a dog fight, politicians who are likely to be robbed in the end are likely to suffer. I had no choice but to be more cautious than a celebrity with a fandom.

I even have my mother’s original sin of selling short. She seemed to think it would cost her body.

‘In a way, this is a natural perception. It is not known to the outside world how I destroyed the leadership of the Peace Party.’

However, I had no intention of just passing on what was good.

A few hours later, I attended a press conference prepared in advance. It was around the time that articles writing down the words of Lecca started appearing.

“There are many people who raise suspicions about me based on false information. Fake news producers will sue without exception, and simple distributors will also take legal action depending on the severity of the crime. There is no mercy.”

“This is not simply a measure to protect my personal honor. Perhaps due to the influence of fake news, Kwon Ye-sol… And it is to prevent a situation in which those who do not want Kwon Ye-sol to be caught enjoy a half-profit.”

First of all, the complaint policy was announced.

I heard that Sue is often another ingredient for Lekkas, but I had no intention of continuing a dogfight with them.

It was because I was thinking of throwing a bigger controversy right away.

“I am sorry that the fulfillment of the promise was delayed by a few days. Fortunately, everything is now ready. The use of 30 billion has also been confirmed.”

“From now on, we would like to receive information on Kwon Ye-sol’s residence privately.”

“There is no compensation for reporting itself. Because of the risk of false information. However, if the report leads to Kwon Ye-sol’s arrest, we will pay a reward based on the level of contribution. We will now explain the detailed reward policy….”
