Chapter 1298. Making Deals (3)
After exiting the restaurant, Kang Jin-Ho wordlessly mouthed yet another cigarette.
Lee Hyeon-Su jokingly muttered while lighting his boss’s cigarette. “Looks like the Prime Minister’s feet are on fire, sir.”
“Mm?”
“If I was in his shoes, I wouldn’t have combined these two matters together and handled them separately. That would’ve been far more beneficial, after all.”
Kang Jin-Ho casually shrugged. He couldn’t quite understand, but since Lee Hyeon-Su said so, it must be true.
“In other words, the Prime Minister didn’t have the leeway to handle them separately. That thing about next week being the deadline of sorts must be true, sir.”
Kang Jin-Ho coolly nodded. “Yeah, I know.”
It wasn’t as if Kang Jin-Ho had developed a hostile attitude toward Kim Myeong-Chan. The latter was merely doing what he thought was the best in the current crisis, after all.
Kang Jin-Ho’s thoughts wouldn’t change even if the government wanted to use him. He would’ve done the same had he been stuck in the same situation.
Of course, understanding the man’s position didn’t mean Kang Jin-Ho would humor the Prime Minister’s request.
Without a doubt, that request was unreasonable in the extreme.
Kang Jin-Ho slowly sucked in the gray cigarette smoke. After swirling inside the depths of his lungs, the smoke lazily escaped through his mouth. It mixed dizzily with his white, warm breaths and scattered in the cold night air.
