Peninsula: Director of Public Prosecutions Starts with Daily Intelligence

Loyal Orange!!! (asking for monthly ticket)”Shixian, congratulations!”

”From now on, we should call you a big star!” Yang Dong-cheol said with a hint of jealousy.

”Brother Dongzhe, don’t make fun of me. A star? Who doesn’t know that the lowest social status on The Peninsula belongs to stars?”

Lee Se-hyun was taking advantage of the situation.

”Ah, this is different. You are the star king among Prosecutors, you have nothing to do with those performers.” Yang Dong-cheol said.

The social status of stars on The Peninsula was, in ancient times, referred to as ’performers of the lowest class’.

With the recent rise of the internet era, their status has greatly improved. In ancient times, if someone heard you were a performer or a singer, they would instinctively look down on you.

Although the Star Prosecutor program includes the word ’star’, it’s not the same. A star among scientists, a star among council members, a star among Prosecutors... different professions naturally have different statuses. This Star Prosecutor program just uses the word ’star’; it doesn’t actually make Prosecutors become stars.

If Yang Dong-cheol were ten years younger, he would definitely compete with Lee Se-hyun for this plum assignment.

Lee Se-hyun sighed: ”How can one know if a misfortune is not a blessing in disguise? Who knows if this Star Prosecutor thing is reliable or not.”

Yang Dong-cheol nodded. Every opportunity is full of both danger and opportunity; it just depends on how you seize it.

After Lee Se-hyun and Yang Dong-cheol bid farewell, they returned to their respective offices.

Today was Monday, and Administrative Officer Cheng Meilan was at work. As soon as he entered, he saw Cheng Meilan carrying a bag of breakfast, coming to greet him.

”Prosecutor Li!” Cheng Meilan handed over the breakfast, smiling, ”Here! Today’s loving bento! It’s Xia-style!”

A cup of soy milk, a few xiaolongbao, a fried dough stick, steamed buns, corn, etc... Yes, this was very Xia-style, fitting his appetite.

”Thank you!” Lee Se-hyun patted Cheng Meilan’s small head in thanks.

Honestly, having such a cheerful and beautiful person in the office was truly pleasing to the eye. Even if she were just a pretty vase doing nothing, he would still like it.

The emotional value was maxed out.

Lee Se-hyun sat down, eating the taste of his hometown, filling his stomach, while pondering whether Cheng Du had cashed in the lottery ticket yet, and for how much.

While he was thinking, Cheng Du excitedly returned.

”Prosecutor Li!” Cheng Du immediately knelt down, kowtowed several times, and said, ”Thank you for your great kindness, Old Cheng will never forget it in this life.”

”Oh, my!” This sudden scene almost made Lee Se-hyun choke on his soy milk. He quickly pulled Cheng Du up and said, ”A’Du, what are you doing like this?”

”Get up quickly. If others see this, they’ll think I’m abusing my employees.”

It must have been because of that lottery ticket; Cheng Du must have won a significant amount of money, otherwise, he wouldn’t perform such a grand gesture.

”I won, I won!” Cheng Du danced with joy, saying, ”A full three hundred thousand xia country currency, Prosecutor Li!”

”We’re rich!!!”

Three hundred thousand? Lee Se-hyun pouted in dissatisfaction. System, you’re really stingy. How dare you call a mere three hundred thousand ’valuable’?

He had thought it would be three million or thirty million.

Having received three million from Han Kang-sik earlier, Lee Se-hyun clearly had no concept of money anymore.

It was like a certain Jack Ma, spouting nonsense about not being interested in money, having no concept of it.

To an ordinary civil servant like Cheng Du, three hundred thousand could be worth several years of his salary, enough for a down payment on a one-bedroom apartment within the Tenth Ring Road.

Although Cheng Du was a Prosecutor’s Administrative Officer, high salaries had nothing to do with him. Administrative Officers were contract workers, subject to average wage standards.

A ’workhorse’ earning three thousand a month, that’s him. It’s just that Cheng Du’s ’workhorse’ salary was stable, and by following a Prosecutor, his future prospects were greatly promising.

Money or no money, it didn’t matter; the important thing was to be able to serve the people of The Peninsula, wasn’t it?

His awareness was absolutely top-notch.

Cheng Du thought Lee Se-hyun’s pouting meant he was unhappy, so he quickly said, ”Prosecutor Li, please take this money back, I...”
