"I found a room for Jae-Sik bro to stay into, sir . "
"Don't sir me, dude . Stop playing when we are alone, okay?"
"But, sir . We are at work . "
"I told you not to do that when we are alone . "
"Someone might hear us talking…"
"Did you get him a room instead of a OneRoomTel?"
"The area is filled with factories, so it's hard to find a OneRoomTel in this area . There was someone who built a house like a OneRoomTel though and rent an individual room . The room is a bit smaller than a OneRoomTel, but it has all the necessary basic things in the room . The rent is 200,000 won per month . So we decided to rent it . "
"Did Jae-Sik like it?"
"Yes, he likes it a lot . He wanted to say sorry to you . "

"Really? Okay . "
"It's close to the factory; he can even walk to work . He can have his meals at the company cafeteria, so he won't have to spend much on his living expenses . "
"Hmm . I see . "
"Well, I'd better go now . We shouldn't talk alone like this too often . People might not like it . You are the president, and I am just a manager . "
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, we should be careful . There are 250 people working here . I already heard something from the head of the labor union . "
"What did he say?"
"I shouldn't tell that to the president . "

Jong-Suk bowed to Gun-Ho before he left the office .
Gun-Ho came out of the factory yard to get some fresh air . The workers in uniform who were passing by bowed to Gun-Ho when they saw him . The plant manager and Director Yoon were talking at the corner of the yard .
"Director Yoon, you haven't left the Jiksan construction field yet?"
"I was discussing the power transformer installation with the plant manager . I'm leaving now . "
"I will go with you . "
"Would you like me to take my car?"
"No, I will drive . "
Gun-Ho and Director Yoon arrived at the construction site in Jiksan Town .
The workers in the construction field gave a bow to Gun-Ho . They sounded a bit different .
"Are there many Chinese people among the workers here?"
"The construction field is already dominated by Korean-Chinese . Many team leaders are Korean-Chinese as well . "
"Are there no Koreans then?"
"The subcontracting company prefers young Chinese workers in their 30s or 40s rather than 60 years old Korean workers . "
"What about Korean workers in their 30s and 40s?"
"The young Korean workers in their 30s and 40s don't work in the construction field . Most Koreans in the field are in their 60s or late 50s . The work is not always available for them either . "
"Hmm . I see . "
Gun-Ho thought that the men in their late 50s and 60s in Korea were having a hard time supporting their family .

Gun-Ho looked at the ground that was excavated .
"The concrete work is drying out . The reinforcement steel looks sturdy . What is that thing covered by a wood board?"
"It's mould . Once the concrete has dried out completely, they will be removed . "
"Then they will construct a building on top of it?"
"That's right . It won't take much time to construct a building since we don't stack up bricks to build a wall, but we will use a pre-fabricated piece for the wall; we just assemble them . "
"The president of the construction company wants to meet you to thank you, sir . "
"He must be very busy . He doesn't have to come to see me . I just want him to build a strong factory for us . "
"I will let him know . "
When Gun-Ho drove out of the construction field, it was almost time to go home . So he didn't go back to the office, but instead, he went to a condo close to the KTX train station . He was staying there while he was in Asan City .
After having dinner in a restaurant in the vicinity of the area, he came back home and played a computer game . When it was around 8 pm, he felt a bit hungry . He was thinking of going to a pub in front of the train station when Jae-Sik crossed his mind .
"He must be working as a security guard right now . I think I haven't really talked to him much . Maybe I should go to him now and see how he is doing with his new job . "
Gun-Ho stopped by a convenience store to buy some beers and snacks such as dried squid and peanuts before heading to the factory where Jae-Sik was working at .
It was dark at the factory . The lights were all off except the security guard office and one small part of the factory where a few people were still working for the night work . Jae-Sik was sitting at the desk in the security office, and he was writing down something . He was wearing a uniform with a corresponding hat .
"Jae-Sik Moon!"
"Huh? President Goo? What are you doing here?"

Jae-Sik quickly stood up .
"Hey, how's work?"
"It's good . Thank you for the room too . It's a really nice room . "
"I brought some beers and snacks to have a drink with you . "
"I can't . I am on duty now . "
"It's okay to drink with me; I am the president, remember? We won't have a lot of chances to drink like this . "
"Then let's drink after the night shift workers go home . They will all leave work after about 20 minutes . "
"And then you will be left here alone?"
"Yes . I work by myself after that hour . "
"Aren't you scared of being alone out here?"
"Nah . I have all sorts of things I can use to protect myself . I have a flashlight, a stick, and a whistle . I have an emergency phone number to police as well . "
"You haven't done this kind of work before, right? It must be hard for you . "
"It's fine . I don't do much here . I just sit here most of the time and make patrols sometimes . That is good exercise . "
While they were talking to each other, the light of the factory started being turned off .
"I guess the night shift workers are going home . "
"Yeah, I guess so . "
The night shift workers were passing the gate to go home, and they were surprised when they saw Gun-Ho in the security office .
"Sir?"
"I appreciate you all for your hard work . "
They all gave a bow to Gun-Ho before heading to the parking lot .
"Okay, let's have a drink . "
"I shouldn't drink while on duty…"
"It's okay . I just brought two cans of beer . One can of beer won't make you drunk . You should be fine . "
"But still…"
"A long time ago, there was a meeting called 'Can Meeting' at the SK Group . "
"What is it?"
"It was a meeting with colleagues . They sometimes got together with a can of beer and had a talk . With some alcohol, they tend to feel comfortable to talk about anything . The meeting started in order to have better communication, so they could get along better . "
"Hmm . "
"We don't have any problems between you and me . I just wanted to talk to you . So I brought some beer . "
Jae-Sik felt emotional about Gun-Ho's care and thoughtfulness . Gun-Ho was driven and had good judgment, but he also tended to make other people feel comfortable .
"You must be very busy running this big company . You don't have to care about a security guard like me . "
"That's not true . Being a president or a security guard is just a job title and the work you do . "
Gun-Ho opened his beer can; it was foaming over with a sound .
"Let's drink . "
Jae-Sik looked at Gun-Ho's face while drinking his beer .
"I feel like it is so mysterious that… how you could make that much money in a short period of time and acquire a company this big, and also purchase several OneRoomTels in Seoul . "
"I was just lucky . "
"Even I factor in the luck, I still don't understand . You are just incredible . "
