    I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 64

    Seeing Park Geon again for the first time in a month he still exudes a heavy presence.

    When I arrived he was already sitting across from the table filling out some paperwork with one hand.

    When he realized I was there he pushed the papers into his bag.

    “Sit down.”

    Just like last time whenever Park Geon had important conversations with his children he would always do so at the dinner table.

    Since both are time-consuming I plan to handle them at once.

    Indeed he was a person who reached the peak of entrepreneurial pragmatism.

    All the food at my home was delicious so it wasn’t a bad thing for me. It is clear that they are hiding a talented chef.

    After coming to this world my favorite food became the gratin at the student cafeteria but the food here was also quite a delicacy.

    ‘Today it’s ravioli.’

    Pasta tightly shaped like square pillows was on the plate.

    It was shiny and plump and looked very appetizing.

    It was fun to imagine what was inside that square of dough.

    But that doesn’t mean we can throw away our rules of etiquette and attack.

    I finally picked up the silverware after Park Geon started using chopsticks.

    “…You’re eating well.”

    “It’s delicious. “All the food from my home.”

    “Whenever you whine about ravioli being dry.”

    ‘No this is squishy?’

    It is clear that Park Yoo-seung had extremely picky tastes.

    Or maybe I just vented my frustrations with no direction at the dinner table. Either way it was an extremely shameful thing.

    What was there not to like about a subject that could make a living off of this every day?

    As someone who lived under poverty and heavy workload it was difficult for me to understand.

    ‘It’s just delicious.’

    As I was processing the ravioli as if I was hiding it from Maparam Park Geon’s eyes wandered over and stayed there.

    It was an unspoken signal to slowly get to the point.

    “You promised to listen to anything.”

    “That’s why first place at Korea University Law School is such a meaningful number.”

    Park Geon admitted.

    “Honestly I never thought I would actually do it. Considering the ambition and spirit you showed I thought I would forgive you if you maintained a similar rank to last time.”

    “But I did it.”

    “okay. “I did it.”

    Suddenly Park Geon’s eyes flashed sharply.

    “So what are you going to ask for?”

    For a moment there was a feeling of tension as if the air was drying up.

    ‘As expected this was the test.’

    What will you use this valuable opportunity for? Any wind is bound to contain one person’s vessel.

    What to demand is determined at the point where values ​​and orientation intersect with self-control and spirit.

    If you hope for something too big you will be reckless and if you compromise on something too small you will lack spirit.

    Knowing how to walk the line is also a talent for navigating the world.

    That is why Park Geon is asking.

    What will you ask for?

    In other words how much is your bowl?

    Of course I had an answer in mind in advance.

    “I understand that Yuseong Group is investing in various small startup companies through VC (Venture Capital).”

    “yes. But why is that?”

    “Among them I would like you to give me a stake in the company I nominate.”

    “…What?”

    I must be self-reliant.

    At first glance Yuseong Group appears to be solid.

    The charismatic leader Park Geon controls the entire group and the two siblings who are considered successors may have different temperaments but they are by no means incompetent.

    Yuseong’s status as a large group within the top 10 in the business world is likely to remain forever.

    ‘But in reality that’s not the case.’

    To be precise the Yuseong Group may be eternal but the Park family is not.

    This is because they are destined to fall together due to being caught up in the storm in the latter half of the work.

    I plan to make various preparations to prevent that from happening but in the worst case scenario I have to make at least a hill for myself to rub against.

    ‘You need money to dream and you need strength to keep your beliefs.’

    The problem was that there was no way to make it.

    I am a possessed person who has fallen into an unfamiliar world not a returner.

    This world is mostly similar to previous life except for the settings that appear in the work but it is not completely the same.

    The arcade that I go to with Haru is in the same location as it was in her previous life.

    However the type and number of game consoles were subtly arranged and the owner was a complete stranger.

    Therefore it is absurd to make money through stocks or coins.

    Even if what we see in reality remains the same we cannot guarantee that it will rise the same way.

    If you bet on an uncertain possibility it’s just like gambling.

    It flashed there.

    ‘Then you can just bet if you’re sure right?’

    “…Which startup are you talking about?”

    “It’s a company called Writing. “We are using generative AI to create a chatbot that people can play with.”

    “It’s not a place that gets that much attention.”

    It will happen.

    From what I researched the current technology of writing is limited to chatbots that play the role of a lover or friend and talk to the user.

    Their revenue model is all about paying a certain amount during chat or displaying an advertisement window on the side banner.

    Even since AI is still an early model it has many limitations.

    Naturally it is a mediocre new company that is not very popular and does not receive much attention from the media or investors.

    But what if I intervene?

    “Yuseong VC owns a 40% stake in Lighting. The combined shares of executives who are pro-Korean executives account for more than half of the shares. “To that extent we can have an influence on the direction of the business.”

    “What are you going to do with it?”

    “We will reorganize Lighting into Legal Tech Development.”

    In the future generative AI and legal services will become inseparable.

    Construction must begin in advance before competitors emerge in the country and before overseas companies have entered the market.

    Of course there is no great model or technology in today’s lighting. But the infrastructure is there.

    People who know how to handle AI and an environment and system set up so that they can work.

    Even just one genius developer or a meticulously polished prototype is enough to achieve results.

    ‘And I have both in my hands.’

    Lee Ha-ru and the ‘nalk’ she is trimming.

    Although the program still has many limitations it would be a different story if a proper research environment and financial investment were in place.

    From the beginning wasn’t it predicted that Lee Ha-ru would prosper in the field of legal tech?

    In other words it was no different from a lottery where you were sure to win.

    It would be a better option for Haru to collaborate with a place where he can receive full support rather than releasing it somewhere far away and letting it fall by the wayside.

    Take control of Lighting and turn it into a legal tech research company.

    Results are achieved based on Lee Ha-ru’s ideas and the technology company’s systematic research environment.

    This was the picture I was drawing.

    “It looks like you picked up a decent gemstone somewhere.”

    And Park Geon saw it at a glance.

    “…How did you know?”

    “It is not a field that can be accessed just by knowing the law well. “If you say it with that much confidence you must have some other basis.”

    ‘I won’t be able to beat him.’

    “good night. weekend.”

    Park Geon made a call somewhere.

    There was a command and communication system in place within the group that could instantly convey his intentions anytime anywhere.

    The procedures were carried out quickly in a place I did not know.

    My smartphone rang and a notification popped up and then a transfer agreement transferring the equity rights of Lighting owned by Yuseong VC to my name arrived in my email.

    “With this the share is yours. “Just swing it well.”

    “Not yet. “Under commercial law if my name is not listed on the shareholder register I cannot assert my rights against the company.”

    “Huh that guy.”

    As it was late things went smoothly within the Yuseong Group but it will take a little longer for the writing side to correct the shareholder list.

    At my point Park Geon chuckled for the first time.

    “It was a good meal.”

    “Are you going?”

    “I have to go. “I still have a lot left to study.”

    “okay.”

    After saying hello to Park Geon I left the main house and found Driver Choi waiting for me when I called him.

    It was time to return to normal life.

    * * *

    A National Assembly member’s aide is always busy.

    This is because the role is not simply that of a secretary who manages the schedule of a member of the National Assembly.

    He had to travel to government ministries to collect and analyze all kinds of data needed for bills or budget-related work and election planning and district management were also part of the assistant’s duties.

    Of course generally not all of this can be done by one person.

    This is because a total of nine assistants are responsible for dividing the work.

    Even if you divide and divide the work like that there are many cases where you cannot go home due to overtime and heavy work so how can you do it alone?

    However the situation was different in Rep. Jeong Seok-gyu’s office.

    “Senator here is this week’s schedule and list of related materials.”

    Yang Seong-tae chief aide to Rep. Jeong Seok-gyu’s office reported in a weak voice as if he was about to die at any moment.

    “On Tuesday you must attend the sponsor party hosted by Yuseong Group. “On Wednesday we have a meeting to discuss the budget with officials from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and in the afternoon…”

    “Aide Yang.”

    “Yes Senator.”

    Jeong Seok-gyu who was deeply buried in an armchair got up.

    Yang Yang-tae felt a bad omen. When Rep. Jeong stood up and called his name there was only one thing that happened.

    “I. This Jeong Seok-gyu.”

    Yang Yang-tae instinctively held his head and leaned down.

    “Is this just the time to have a big fight with the office bastards? huh? say it.”

    Wow!

    “Tell me!”

    Sure enough right after that an ashtray flew into the space where Yang Seong-tae’s head was originally located.

    The ashtray passed Yang Seong-tae and hit the glass cabinet on the wall. There was a sharp clanging sound and pieces of broken glass flew in all directions.

    ‘I heard you played baseball as a child. What strength do you still have!’

    This was not the time. In order to calm Rep. Jeong down Yang Seong-tae hurriedly opened his mouth.

    “Of course not Senator. However the approval rating has only just begun to recover… and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance may be seeking a power struggle….”

    If you are an administrative officer you are a level 5 civil servant which is a very high position.

    In particular if you are an official at the Ministry of Strategy and Finance which controls the national treasury of the Republic of Korea each person has indescribable responsibility and power.

    However it was generally insufficient to respond to the National Assembly members who were at the center of power.

    The most terminal position in the core of an organization.

    Regardless of the fact that the director-level position was not given it was something that would greatly hurt the pride of Jeong Seok-gyu a senior lawmaker to be assigned a position with secretaries who were not secretaries.

    “This isn’t because you can’t do your job properly!”

    “I’m sorry!”

    Yang Yang quickly knelt down and bowed his head.

    ‘…I want to go home.’

    Rep. Jeong Seok-gyu originally had a very vicious temper.

    In front of the media he has always presented himself with a good image by donating to charity or engaging in volunteer work.

    However just like now in private he used verbal abuse and stabbing.

    Since all the other aides who could not endure this harsh working environment quit Seongtae Yang was handling the work that would normally have been done by several people alone.

    “Whoa whoa.”

    Jeong Seok-gyu was breathing heavily barely able to calm himself down.

    “…Go and tell it. Did this Jeong Seok-gyu look like dog food? Anyway if I don’t come up with a prosthetic eye it’s going to be a pain for them too.”

    “Oh I understand.”

    “Don’t look down on me Assistant Yang. The moment you lose you never know how far you will be pushed. “It’s a place where you can’t survive if you’re soft.”

    “I’ll keep that in mind!”

    “so. “What’s the next plan?”

    Jeong Seok-gyu regained his senses. Yang Seong-tae who had lost some time hurriedly continued speaking.

    “Ah a special lecture is scheduled at Hankuk University Law School on Wednesday afternoon.”

    “that’s right. “It was like that.”

    Jeong Seok-gyu sighed.

    Hankuk University Law School was one of the institutions he regularly donated to for image making.

    In particular since he graduated from Korea University Law School the predecessor of the law school he was able to take care of the cause of helping juniors.

    “Is Professor Choi Seong-cheol doing well there?”

    “yes? “Yeah what…”

    “The last time I saw him he was a friend I really liked. I like the way it rolls like a tongue in the mouth without being stiff which is unusual for a lawyer. “I heard you came here after dealing with money so I guess that’s why.”

    ‘I don’t like him.’

    What to say he was a man who gave off the cunning feel of an opportunist.

    However it was not something he would say to the face of the lawmaker he was serving so Yang Seong-tae kept his thoughts to himself.

    “Are you okay with that?”

    Instead Yang Yang-tae asked that question.

    “There’s that person at Korea University Law School too.”

    “That person?”

    “Why is it Prosecutor Jang Yong-hwan? 10 years ago during ‘that incident’…”

    “Aide Yang.”

    “Yes yep!”

    “Stop talking about this.”

    Jeong Seok-gyu’s voice froze coldly and Yang Seong-tae closed his mouth in shock.

    “And there’s nothing to worry about.”

    Jeong Seok-gyu chewed his lips.

    “If it climbs just step on it again and that’s it.”
