"I've paid all of the overdue wages and rents with 3 billion won that you had sent earlier for the factory operation cost . All of the machines in the factory are working fine except for two . "
"Is the factory generating revenue?"
"Of course . Even though we haven't earned any new business, we are working with all of the customers that the company previously had worked with . We didn't lose any old customers . "
"That's nice . It's really good to continue to work with existing customers . "
"Well, they should prefer to work with us because we have the specific moulds customized for their products . "
"Tell them that we apologize for our temporary suspension of the production for the past months . I believe they will understand our situation . Nothing much the factory could have done because its parent company was suffering from a financial crisis . "
"Oh, I was going to ask you . Can you send Jong-Suk to us for three days?"
"Jong-Suk Park? He is very busy now in the production field . He still has a lot to learn . "
"Well, I just need him for three days . "
"Hmm . Okay . I will talk to the factory manager and will let you know . "
"Thank you . "
Gun-Ho asked for the factory manager .
"How is Manager Jong-Suk Park doing in the field?"
"He certainly has a lot to learn in the production field; however, he is doing very well since he has extensive experience in the maintenance and repair in a factory . "
"Please train him as much as you could . I'm counting on you . "
"Don't worry about it . "
"By the way, I will need to send Manager Jong-Suk Park to China for maybe about three days . Is it okay with you?"

"We need him here . We have a lot of maintenance work here . "
"Let's send him just for three days . We have many other workers here too, compared to the factory in China . "
"Okay then . "
Gun-Ho asked for Jong-Suk .
"I was told that you wanted to talk to me, sir . "
"Cut it out, man . Call me brother when we are alone . "
"I was worried that maybe someone could hear us . Haha . "
"How do you like the work here?"
"The factory manager is very strict, but he is extremely experienced in this field . There is a lot to learn from him . "
"You need to go to China for three days . "
"To Min-Hyeok bro?"
"Yes . He needs your help there . Go and help him . "
"Haha . I haven't seen him for a while . "
Gun-Ho asked for the general affairs manager .
"The general affairs manager is not in his office right now . He went to the city hall . "
"Then please ask the assistant general affairs manager to come to my office . "
The assistant general affairs manager entered the president's office . He was wearing a suit with a tie neatly .

"Manager Jong-Suk Park here needs to go on a business trip to the factory in China . Please get him the Chinese visa and a flight ticket to China . "
"Yes, sir . "
The assistant general affairs manager gave a 90-degree bow to Gun-Ho before leaving the office . He was about the same age as Gun-Ho and he was a good looking man .
"Bro, I feel sort of embarrassed whenever I see the assistant general affairs manager . "
"Like what?"
"He is at the same age as you, right? And I am two years younger than him . But I am a manager and he is an assistant manager . "
"You don't have to think that way . "
"Moreover, he was born and raised here in Asan City, and he graduated from Dankook University in Cheonan City as an honor student . "
"You have skills, Jong-Suk . You deserve the position you have now . Did you receive your salary this month?"
"Yes, I did . It's 4 million won . I could save some money now . "
"That's good . All of the departments are currently full, but once the factory manager retires, I guess we will have many positions available in the production department . Let's see which position you want to take then . "
"No, no . I am getting more than enough now . "
Gun-Ho asked for the sales director—Director Kim .
"How is the new production development going for S Company that we met the other day?"
"The research center is working on it . They reviewed the product drawing that they sent to us and started making the moulds referring to the product drawing . We will need about two bags of the raw materials from Lymondell Dyeon though, so we could produce samples . "
"Can we just call Lymondell Dyeon and ask them to mail the materials to us?"

"It won't work that way . It's not like they have the raw materials ready for us . They will need to make specific compounds for us . But the real problem is that they won't take an order from us . "
"Let's go to Japan then . Let's go to Lymondell Dyeon's Japan office to see the president with me . "
"People say that the president of Lymondell Dyeon's Japan branch doesn't like to meet with people from Korean companies . I once went to Japan to see him with the previous president of Mulpasaneop, but he refused to meet us at that time . "
"Really?"
"Sir, I am sorry to ask you this, but are you really a friend of the president of Lymondell Dyeon's Japan office?"
"Yes, I am . "
"I thought you were bluffing when we talked with the vice president of S Company last time, to get their business . "
"Let's just go to Japan with me and see for yourself . "
"Yes, sir . "
"I will need to ask for another friend of mine to help me talk with the president of Lymondell Dyeon's Japan branch office since I don't speak English . This friend is fluent in English . He is an attorney of Kim&Jeong Law Office and he is also a very good friend of Amiel . "
"Kim&Jeong Law Office?"
Director Kim didn't seem to fully believe what Gun-Ho said . Gun-Ho made a call to Attorney Young-Jin Kim while Director Kim was still at his office .
"Attorney Young-Jin Kim? Are you busy now?"
"Hey, President Goo . It has been a while . I heard you acquired a business in Asan City . Are you still there?"
"Hey, I need to go to Japan to see President Amiel from Lymondell Dyeon . "
"Why do you need him?"
"It's about business . Can you tell him that I will visit him next week?"
"Sure . I will call him . Can I go with you? I want to play golf again at Yonehara Golf Club . "
"Of course . Let's go together then . "
"Oh, shoot . I can't go next week . I have a patent case I need to work on . When you get there, say hello to Amiel for me . "
"Okay, I will do that . "
After getting off the phone with Attorney Young-Jin Kim, Gun-Ho asked the sales director .
"Do you speak English? President Amiel from Lymondell Dyeon is American . "
"I'm sorry, sir . I can't speak English . "
"What about Japanese then? President Amiel has lived in Japan for a long time and he speaks Japanese . "
"I don't speak Japanese either, sir . "
"Same as me . "
"I'm sorry, sir . "
The sales director smiled while scratching his head in embarrassment .
"Umm, I know someone who can interpret for us though . "
"Who is it?"
"A friend of mine has a nephew who is studying in Japan now . This nephew went to Japan when he was little, so he speaks Japanese very well . He used to interpret for us and our previous president—Se-Young Oh when we went to Japan . "
Once the sales director left Gun-Ho's office, Gun-Ho sat at his desk by himself . He moved to the sofa in the office and leaned back on the sofa, and then he closed his eyes . He thought about Mori Aikko . She had a gorgeous face .
"I want to see you, Mori Aikko . I will put your hair up . Me, Gun-Ho Goo will do it . "
