PS: Sorry for the inconvenience caused by my impulsiveness. I apologize again.
I'm not going to fight anymore. No matter what the other party says, I'll keep my mouth shut. After all, everyone is here to read novels. I'm sorry for the delay in updating.

The atmosphere in the private room was very strange. Mr. Li looked awkward as he lowered his head to pour wine. He didn't know what to say to ease the current atmosphere.
Li Juli was expressionless as she sat quietly with her head lowered. However, her eyes were a little unfocused and unfocused. No one knew what she was looking at.
While she was in a daze, Li Juli suddenly felt a large hand gently squeeze her right hand. She looked up and saw Tang Jinyan's warm smile.
Li Juli was also affected by his smile. She smiled slightly and her mood calmed down a lot.
He looked really good when he smiled …
Tang Jinyan laughed and said, "Uncle, you don't have good taste. The one just now was quite ordinary."
Mr. Li laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm old and I don't have good taste. I just found someone to refill my wine."
Tang Jinyan leaned over and took the red wine from Mr. Li's hand. "Let us do the work of refilling your wine. Uncle, please sit down."
As he spoke, he poured a thin layer of wine into two goblets and handed one to Li Juli. He smiled and said, "Juli and I toast to Uncle?
Uncle has been working hard these days. Look, you've lost a lot of weight. "
Li Juli knew that he was trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. He was trying to bring the atmosphere back to the path of a junior meeting an elder. She felt a little grateful. She took the goblet and bowed slightly with Tang Jinyan. "Father, don't work too hard."
Mr. Li drank and sighed in his heart. This son-in-law is really sensible … Eh … Wait …
This isn't a son-in-law …
But no matter how one looked at it, this scene looked like a couple toasting their father together …
Mr. Li put down the goblet and looked at the two drinking faces for a moment. His eyes became more and more regretful.
What a pair of golden boy and jade girl … What a pity.
What was even more unfortunate was that Tang Jinyan was now a figure at the level of a hero. His foundation was getting deeper and deeper, and his strength and influence were growing bigger and bigger. His influence had already spread to many aspects of the upper class of Korea. Even people at the level of Kim Wuxing could not act rashly against him, and could only cooperate with him as an equal.
Given a few more years of development, he would be able to look up to such a figure …
It was such a pity that he couldn't become his son-in-law.
It was a long story, but in truth, it only took an instant.
The young man and woman on the other side also quickly finished their wine and sat down in a relaxed atmosphere.
Li Juli's pretty face was flushed. She didn't know if it was because the scene just now also made her feel like she and her husband were toasting their father.
Mr. Li finally opened his mouth and said, "Actually, it's not that hard on me. I've been catching drug dealers for the past twenty to thirty years. It's just my job.
Moreover, Jin Yan's cooperation this time was almost effortless.
At the end of the day, it was actually Jinyan who gave me the credit. "
Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "Don't say that. Without uncle's help, many of my plans won't be so convenient."
Mr. Li said meaningfully, "Now, Jinyan … is a chess player."
Tang Jinyan paused and shook his head slightly, "It's still far from that.
The Korean underworld is too weak, and it's difficult for it to appear in public. "
"The decline of the underworld is also due to many historical reasons …" Mr. Li muttered, "But you're a little different from the average underworld. On the surface, your development in the business and political world is not worse than anyone else's. The Jeju Island project will be a key national project in the next few years. You have a lot of things to do."
"It won't be easy." Tang Jinyan whispered, "This country places too much emphasis on bloodlines."
Over the past two days, the reaction of the New Village Party was very obvious. Even though he had a lot of power, there were many things that felt different when Baek Chang-soo stepped in. Many people were still deeply scrutinizing and wary of him, Tang Jinyan.
The underworld could be considered a place that did not care about one's background. Many grassroots had killed their way out. Even a place like this still scrutinized him, not to mention some of the more prestigious environments.
In fact, their caution and scrutiny were correct. They always had doubts about whether Tang Jinyan could abide by the rules of this country. In fact, Tang Jinyan was indeed looking forward to the day when he could not abide by the rules, or even … set the rules.
"Some things are not set in stone," Mr. Li said calmly.
Mr. Li said indifferently, "When the benefits you bring to some people are enough to make them ignore the so-called bloodline, then the bloodline barrier doesn't exist.
Just like now, there are already many people who share the same glory as you. They definitely won't care about where your blood flows, such as me. "
Tang Jinyan smiled slightly, "So I just need to expand this group of people infinitely, right?"
Mr. Li sighed.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that this was not wrong, but to achieve "infinity" was easier said than done. In the end, there would always be a barrier that could not be broken through.
Li Juli listened quietly and quietly poured wine for them.
The topic was too high and mighty. She could not say anything, nor did she want to say anything.
Their circle and her own entertainment circle were two completely different worlds. In the chessboard in their hands, the so-called idol was really just a grain of sand.
It was no wonder that Mr. Li was so against her becoming an artist in the early years. It was also no wonder that Tang Jinyan would show a little contempt for artists from time to time.
— — It really felt like he could play whenever he wanted. It was just that he restrained himself for the sake of some bottom lines.
To put it bluntly, on the other floors of this club, who knew how many artists were being manipulated by others.
Li Juli silently poured wine. Tang Jinyan clinked glasses with Mr. Tang Jinyan again. The two drank with gusto. Only then did Tang Jinyan say, "Uncle's desire to go further is proportional to my needs. The higher Uncle stands, the better it is for me.
So, just tell me what you want to do this time. "
Mr. Tang Jinyan glanced at his daughter. It was a little embarrassing to ask Tang Jinyan for help in front of his daughter, especially since they were working on equal terms. As Tang Jinyan strode up the ranks, their relationship seemed to be dominated by Mr. Tang Jinyan. After all, the position of the big boss of the New Village Party was at least equivalent to that of the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office.
It was also because of his relationship with Li Juli that Tang Jinyan still respected him as an elder. Otherwise … he could not say anything about his attitude towards a subordinate.
But he still said, "I am currently working on the Deputy Chief of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. Although I have a lot of old connections, I have been transferred to Incheon for too short a time. It is not easy to do it.
Let's see if Jinyan can help. "
Tang Jinyan said, "If it was in the past, I probably would not have a way. But now, I still have a way.
We will keep in touch with this matter. I will do my best. "
Mr. Li raised his glass and smiled. "Thank you, Jinyan. I will repay you generously in the future."
Tang Jinyan quickly said. "What are you talking about, Uncle? This is what I should do.
Also, when you were in Incheon, you helped to stop many people from probing my company. I should be the one thanking you for this. "
"It's just a collaboration." Mr. Li laughed heartily.
Both of them toasted again, and Mr. Li said. "But Jinyan, don't let your guard down. As far as I know, many people from the Prosecutor's Office and the Police Department are interested in the New Village Party's unrest."
Li Juli's hand trembled slightly, and a drop of wine spilled out.
Tang Jinyan said lightly. "If the New Village Party is a place where they can do whatever they want, it would have been razed to the ground 800 times. Don't worry, Uncle."
"That's what I said.
Also, the people from Pusan and the Vietnamese are quite critical of you. Be careful.
There are also some remnants of Park Jung Nam. Now that they know that you're the one behind all of this, they'll definitely point their guns at you. "
Mr. Li said solemnly, "It's fine if you're in your own territory today. But in the future, bring more people with you when you go out to other places."
Tang Jinyan responded, "Yes."
Li Juli could no longer hold the wine bottle in his hand, and he set it aside with a loud bang. "And you're still saying that there's no danger?!"
The two men were stunned, and they exchanged glances for a while. Mr. Li then said cautiously, "Jinyan, when have you ever been in less danger?
Aren't you kidding me …? "
"Gangsters, gangsters …" Li Juli's body trembled, and his chest heaved violently. "Are you saying that it's all my fault … that our Soyeon is an idiot for liking someone who's going to be in the coffin at any moment?! Is it because of his safety that we're worried about?!
Don't provoke others if you're so capable, Tang Jinyan! "
Mr. Li remained silent.
Tang Jinyan watched quietly as Li Juli flared up. She stared at him angrily with tears welling up in her eyes.
The two men stared at each other for some time, and then Li Juli slowly calmed down. He sniffled and whispered, "I'm sorry. I was being unreasonable.
This is how a man should be … You men naturally have your reasons. "
