Chapter 108 The Iron Chain Hengjiang (continued)
ps: The title of the previous chapter was wrong, I didn’t notice it! But apologize.
"Elder..." In the rear seat of the BMW in the driving position, a bald man in a big belly and a bald suit finally couldn't bear it anymore. This was a deacon from the Gwangju Lingguang Society, with his surname Wang, and the front row was another deacon, with his surname Zhang. "We're leaving like this?"
"What else do Deacon Wang wants?" The elder of the Lingguang Society who was sitting beside him opened his eyes helplessly and asked.
"No..." Deacon Wang lowered his head and responded with a little dejected look. "I just think we have to do something, right? It's been ten years, and this matter has been pestering us like a curse... First, he had a fight with the group of human rights organizations for seven or eight years. He originally thought that Principal Jin had cancer and died, and this matter should have been cut off. But who would have thought that another writer of Kong Zhiyong appeared? We fought hard and finally let the influence of the book's publication not spread to the judicial process. This made a movie adapted from a book, and it also involved the confrontation in the presidential election... If this continues... I don't understand, why do these people stare at this?"
After all these words, the church deacon driving in front and the elder next to him were both in silence.
"It's foggy outside again, let's drive slowly." After a long time, the deacon who was driving in front broke the dilemma.
"Deacon Wang." The elder finally spoke. "I'm actually thinking about this."
Now, the two church deacons in the car immediately cheered up.
"I'll ask you a question first." The elder sighed. "You said... what kind of person is the dead Principal Jin or the former Elder Jin from our Lingguang Society?"
"That's a bastard." The deacon driving in front replied without looking back. "I agree with Deacon Wang's statement."
"Nothing is wrong at all." The elder nodded. "Although serving God should not say such things, I really think that he ended up with cancer. "
"But if this is the case, why is his brother still alive?" Deacon Zhang sneered in front of him. "He just pretended to be stupid and hid at home... Didn't he jump around so wildly in the past few years?"
"Hmph, of course he still has some courage when facing those little people before." Deacon Wang also sneered. "Does he dare to say something this time? It is said that the consortium in his family is ready to leave him behind when he sees the situation in Seoul."
"We are talking about Principal Jin today." The elder said lightly. "Let's put aside other things for now."
"Yes!" It can be seen that the elder still has prestige, because both deacons agreed to him in unison.
"First of all, Principal Jin is a complete bastard." The elder continued to tell his views calmly. "He and his confidants are unforgivable to the things that deaf and mute students do. Any normal person with a conscience will be angry and disgusted by him. Deacon Wang, ask me why those people are staring at this matter. One of the reasons is actually very simple, that is, the so-called "thing is not fair when things are not fair". It is because he has not returned the students to justice even after he dies. Therefore, those human rights organizations have been staring at this matter for ten years. Therefore, Ms. Kong Zhiyong wants to write this matter after seeing the news, so Mr. Kim Jong-ming wants to adapt it into a movie at all costs. No one can stop this, because it is human nature."
The two deacons nodded together.
"But, Principal Jin is also a capable person at the same time." The elder paused instinctively at this point, wondering if he was recalling something. "He not only managed his consortium very well, but also managed our Lingguang Society's industry to a certain scale... This is his achievements and cannot be erased. However, more importantly, he also established his own network of personal connections in Gwangju and integrated himself into the social high-level of the entire Gwangju society. Therefore, when the trial was first tried, those ignorant
Grassroots police, prosecutors, judges... and even some ignorant believers were dragged down by him... and they were layer by layer, slowly, half of Gwangju was brought into the pit by him. This is the second answer to the question you asked by Deacon Wang. He tied himself to half of Gwangju with his ability and context, forcing the people of Gwangju to be implicated by him, and also causing the enemies of Gwangju to notice his scandal. And now, I want to ask two of you, even if we are, are you really defending that bastard?"
The two deacons were silent for it.
"What we really safeguard is the honor of the Spirit Society!" Although the tone of the Spirit Society's elder was still so calm, his face gradually became flushed. "Our Spirit Society has existed in Gwangju for nearly fifty years. How many good deeds have been done, how many lost lambs have been guided, and how many depraved souls have been saved. How can we be slandered because of a bastard's personal actions and forced to destroy the honor of the Lord? For ten years, our Spirit Society has stopped moving forward because of this matter. How many other church associations have taken the opportunity to come to Gwangju to preach? How many cooperative industries have abandoned us?"
The two deacons were both sorry for it.
"So, I don't want to accuse those who are determined to spread this scandal. They are right, but we... are right, but the way the two sides handled it has a collision. But no matter what... I still want to say more here, the Lord's glory cannot be defiled." Speaking of this, the elder suddenly tightened the cross on his chest. "I, Li Changde, are willing to point at the Lord and swear here, if this matter can really have a decent result and the honor of the Spirit Society can be maintained to the maximum extent, even if I am the only one, I am willing to do my best to return the deaf and mute students to justice!"
"So are we!" The two deacons also covered the cross on their chests at the same time.
"That's good, that's good." Elder Li Changde nodded repeatedly, looking very relieved. "Since everyone has the same intentions, let's let go, everything is for the glory of the Lord."
"Everything is for the glory of the Lord." The two deacons agreed in unison again.
"At present, the movie is irreversible, so don't think about stopping the filming of the movie." Elder Li Changde calmed down and expressed his thoughts. "But... there is a way to prevent the honor of the Spirit Society from being defiled and to prevent the glory of the Lord from being affected. That is to show our true position in the movie and let the audience understand that the nauseating behavior of sinners is committed in the sight of the Lord."
"Are you asking Mr. Kim Jong-ming to design a plot that is powerful to us?" asked the deacon who was driving softly. "Or would you ask him to completely delete the relationship between Principal Kim and our spiritual club in the movie?"
"Don't think about the former." Elder Li Changde shook his head. "The main goal is to focus on the latter, and he just needs to do his best. After all, that person, Jin Zhongming, is a powerful crossing river dragon."
"Then..." Deacon Wang put down the cross and touched his big belly. "If he was Guo Jianglong, if he really didn't give up a single word, what would we do?"
"There's no way." Elder Li Changde shook his head again. "But I want to say that today's situation really makes me feel that he might give in."
The two people next to them pricked their ears again.
"By the way... I just asked you Principal Jin what kind of person you are." The elder suddenly mentioned what happened just now. "Actually, there is another sentence I didn't say."
"I would like to hear the details." Deacon Wang was very tactful.
"Actually, I have been with Principal Jin for decades." Elder Li Changde replied seriously. "I would like to say something seriously and responsibly today. In my opinion, when I was young, he was a good man who really wanted to dedicate everything to God. Now it is said that he was trying to gain fame at that time, but in fact, running a charity school is really nothing for him who owns half a consortium. But he just gave up the management of the family consortium and became the principal of a deaf school and an elder of a church. At that time, he also had ideals and beliefs."
"Who didn't have an ideal when he was young?" The deacon who drove sighed. "I believe what the elder said, and I understand what the elder means. You want to say that Mr. Kim Jong-ming is so young now, so it is understandable to do something that seems to be worth the effort for a little faith?"
"That's right." The elder nodded. "But... what I want to express more is that beliefs, feelings, ideals, and sense of justice are very correct and great, but they are also very fragile. They are not afraid of fierce confrontation, but are afraid of being wiped out in everything. Ideals, feelings, and sense of justice are beyond the tempering of worldly affairs... In this way, Principal Jin fell from a person who is dedicated to goodness to that kind of disgusting guy, because his beliefs and morals, and even his respect for the Lord were abandoned in the complex things day after day."
"This is actually a common truth in the world." The deacon who drove agreed again. "Even if we are, don't we have to spend most of our time on those boring worldly affairs? The time to serve the Lord needs to be planned in advance... It's really..."
"Elder." Deacon Wang finally understood. "What do you mean is... Mr. Kim Jong-ming is already a little impatient with this movie?"
"I think he has indeed become a little emotionally out of control." Elder Li Changde calmly raised his thick black eyebrows. "His mood is obviously something wrong. The out-of-control language he had posted to the media before has shown that he is under pressure."
"That's true to it." Deacon Wang agreed. "A movie hero in his twenties, a billionaire, left the flower world of Seoul and ran to a small place like Gwangju to shoot a movie that had no prospects, and then didn't leave the set for a full twenty days. Can he bear this crime? And first it was closed-ended filming, and then let the set go, which itself shows that he couldn't stand it."
"Yes." Elder Li nodded. "That's what I think."
"Then what should we do?" Deacon Wang asked anxiously.
"My meaning is very simple. Take your time, surround him step by step, and put some pressure on him." The elder replied calmly. "Tomorrow we will arrange for the church people to go to the set to hold a banner and sing the song, and then go to negotiate with Mr. Jin Zhongming in a very low posture, and say... We cannot convince believers by just speaking. Can we ask him to print a copy of the script he wrote with us, and we will use the script to comfort the believers."
"What's next?" Deacon Zhang asked seriously.
"Then it depends on his reaction." The elder responded calmly. "If he was furious, it would be the best..."
"But..." Deacon Zhang was not optimistic about this situation. "Elder, if someone has achieved such achievements at such a young age, he may not be able to do this level no matter how out of control."
"I think so." The elder nodded. "It depends on whether he gives the script or not. If he drives people directly and then re-seals the set, then we will have to leave it to fate. After all, we are just characters from a small place in Gwangju, and it is not enough to watch it in front of others. But... if he gives us the script... then our chance will come!"
"That's right." Deacon Wang nodded repeatedly. "He gave the script a change of attitude, and then let's take it slowly, and we'll go together. Today we point out that the story in the script is inconsistent with the facts. Tomorrow, the believers are dissatisfied with the script and do not expect to rinse him to death. He is so upset that he is so upset that we may be so sharpened that we waved his hand and directly cut the plot related to our spiritual light meeting!"
"That's right." Elder Li nodded slightly. "That's it."
"But." Deacon Zhang, who was driving, still felt a little worried. "Elder, have you ever thought about another possibility? If Mr. Kim Jong-ming saw through our thoughts and took the trick? He is the best actor, so it should not be too easy to act like a thing."
"Then accept your fate!" The elder narrowed his eyes. "After all, he is a dragon crossing the river."
"That's all that." Deacon Zhang sighed helplessly.
In this way, the BMW car drove all the way to the church in the downtown area of Gwangju in the winter afternoon. The church is located in the most prosperous area of Gwangju. Its tall and magnificent complement the surrounding commercial buildings.
In fact, if you don’t have to South Korea, it may be difficult for ordinary people to understand the power of the Catholic power in South Korea. Not to mention anything else, just speaking about churches, this country actually has five of the top ten largest churches in the world. In addition, there are four archdiocese in the small place, and Gwangju is one of them. As a famous local church organization in Gwangju, the investment in building such a church is really a small kiss for them.
"I... have a lot of business things these days, plus the planning just now." Elder Li, who got off the car, held the cross and turned to the two deacons. "So I'm going to ask the priest to confess. Also, I just said that I'll ask Deacon Zhang to do the things that organize the believers!"
"I understand." Deacon Zhang nodded in his promise with his cross in his hand.
"I'll take the opportunity to repent!" Deacon Wang, who was stooping, touched his stomach and interrupted with emotion. "I will do the matters we negotiate with Mr. Jin Zhongming... But, elder, you have to teach me how to speak."
"Okay... come in together!" Elder Li's face was as peaceful as a Holy Mother.
"Then I... went directly to the parish where I was located to contact the believers." Deacon Zhang was very dedicated and responsible.
"Then please." Elder Li's face remained calm.
In this way, as the BMW disappeared into the winter fog, Elder Li and Deacon Wang turned side by side and walked into the church. It can be seen that the two of them were trusted by believers and church staff here. Many people whispered hello along the way.
However, the two did not go to confess according to the previous statement, nor went to find the priest, but came to the office of the education center affiliated to the church with a familiarity.
"I can't believe Deacon Zhang." Elder Li's expression became serious as soon as he sat down. "So he didn't want to say something to him."
"Elder, I still say the same thing. Deacon Zhang is just too urgent to act on his usual occasions." Deacon Wang touched his fat belly again. "It may not be that he has any objections to you, the elder."
"You are right, he is too urgent." Elder Li sighed. "This is understandable. After all, he has been going well for so many years and has enjoyed a reputation in our spiritual light club... But it is not good to be too urgent. How can a person with this personality entrust the burden of spiritual light club to him? Deacon Wang, you are open-minded about everything... Maybe you are a good candidate!"
"Don't joke." Deacon Wang sat down with a wry smile. "I even run my own business very hard. Where can I get the energy and ability to lead the congregation? So I still say the same thing, I hope you can eliminate the differences with Deacon Zhang and lead our spirit to regain reputation."
"I won't say this anymore." Elder Li raised his thick eyebrows again. "I have something to tell you..."
"Please say it."
"I just said that Kim Jong-ming is a crossing river dragon, but if he is a crossing river dragon, our spiritual light club is just a ridiculous iron chain of the river. You just said to rub him, that's just a joke, because it really hurts his flesh and blood and becomes fierce, we actually have no way to do it. For example, what if he directly attacks our private industry?"
"That?"
"Listen to me." Elder Li reached out to stop the other party's inquiry. "So, I don't want to use the script to further fight him. He is the one who can give away 10 billion yuan to build a building every year. We can't afford to fight such a person. However... there is still a special way to deal with this kind of crossing the river."
"Please say it."
"It's still an iron rope across the river." Elder Li smiled slightly. "It's your way to polish him with the iron rope and make him hurt."
"I... don't understand a little anymore." Deacon Wang smiled bitterly again and touched his stomach.
"My meaning is actually very simple." Elder Li replied with a slight smug answer. "The same method, but not just our spiritual rope, but ten or eight, or even twenty or thirty! I want the script just to use it to tell everyone in this city that Kim Jong-ming's attitude has an opportunity. Our spiritual rope is already here. Will you come? The most hated thing about Principal Jin is that he pulled half of Gwangju into the water, the judicial system, education system, and social welfare system. I don't know if there is any
How many senior officials were brought by him and got involved in this matter, otherwise why would Ms. Park take a fancy to this case? Kim Jong-ming had a tough attitude and impeccable style before, so naturally those people had to watch it, but when the opportunity came, they would not sit idly by. You must know, ten years ago, eight years ago, five years ago, the people involved in these matters now, some people retired, some people even died, but more people are climbing higher and higher, and they don’t want to have such an obvious stain on their bodies.”
"So... as long as half of Gwangju moves, even if it arouses the fierceness of this crossing river dragon, it will not be able to break free!" Deacon Wang had already reacted. "No matter how powerful he is, he can't go against half of Gwangju. Dozens of iron ropes are lying in the river so that he can't move! But...what if Ms. Park comes to help?"
"That's even better!" Elder Li continued to laugh. "Then please ask consultant Moon Jae-in to appear! What's the matter with us then?"
"It's amazing!" Deacon Wang exclaimed. "Elder, you really... I understand. Do you want me to get the script and be responsible for contacting those people who have participated in this matter before and are now energetic?"
"Thank you for your hard work." Elder Li raised his thick eyebrows again.
ps: There is also a book friend group of 457160898, please add it.
By the way, thank you for your forgiveness... I will definitely seize this opportunity that everyone gave me, and I must be a new person. I hope everyone will supervise it!
