"It seems we have everyone here . Let's say 'Bravo' to all of us who made this far in our lives since we are all here together . Bravo!"
"Bravo!"
They then drank a glass of liquor .
"Let me introduce our friends who came far from here . At first, this is Min-Hyeok Kim who is running an auto parts company in Jiangsu Province, China . "
"Hello, everyone . I'm Min-Hyeok Kim . "
Min-Hyeok stood up from his seat and gave a deep bow to the crowd .
"Hey, Min-Hyeok! Give me your business card before you leave today . I am in China too, in Qingdao City!"
Min-Hyeok actually came prepared and brought a bundle of his business cards . He walked around the crowd and gave his business card to everyone there .
"The president of GH Parts Company? You are the president?"
"Yeah . "
"GH is Gun-Ho's company, no?"
"That's right . "
Gun-Ho stood up at that moment .
"Min-Hyeok is actually running the company independently . He is receiving a stock option . It's more like a business partnership . "
"So you two work together as a business partner?"
"You can say that . "

Won-Chul continued to talk,
"And, we have one of our friends who came to our gathering for the first time . He is the one who made our beautiful high school directory book and sent it to all of us earlier . Jae-Sik Moon! He is now working as a chief editor in a publishing company . "
Jae-Sik stood up and gave a bow .
"Umm, I am not a swindler . "
Everyone in the room laughed out loud when they heard Jae-Sik's rather blunt statement without introduction .
"Our friend, Jae-Sik Moon won an award for his novel recently . The prize was 50 million won . "
"Wow . Is Jae-Sik buying us a drink today?"
"Our dinner will be paid with our membership fee . And after dinner, we go to a bar and will have a drink . Min-Hyeok Kim will treat us for the drink . It seems like Min-Hyeok is making good money in China . "
"Really? Yeah, it looks that way . "
They all clapped for Min-Hyeok Kim .
"Are we having something more after a drink? And Jae-Sik Moon will treat us there?"
Jae-Sik didn't respond to that question; he was just sitting on his chair and smiled .
Won-Chul Jo continued to talk .
"For the last but not the least, we have a friend here today with us, who couldn't have attended our meeting so far because of his activities with a civic group . Min-Ho Kang!"
Min-Ho Kang stood up and the crowd clapped for him .
Someone in the middle of the crowd shouted .

"Hey, Min-Ho! Did you go to the big house?"
People laughed .
"Yeah, I had fun there . "
"You should only eat Tofu today then . "
Won-Chul was going to say something, and then he decided not to . There were 21 people there and it was really noisy . Won-Chul had a hard time making them listen to him .
People gathered close to Gun-Ho .
"Hey, Gun-Ho Goo . Let me fill in your glass with liquor . "
"I will have just a little . I am not a good drinker . "
Gun-Ho let everyone fill in his glass with liquor but he drank a little bit of them . People didn't push Gun-Ho to drink more though . Gun-Ho who was the wealthiest among the friends gradually became their idol .
Min-Ho Kang, who was just released from prison for his activities with a civic group filled Gun-Ho's glass with liquor .
"I will have just a bit . "
Unlike other friends, Min-Ho kept pouring liquor even after Gun-Ho's glass overflowed with it .
"Stop it . "
"Why? You don't want to take the glass of liquor that I filled in for you?"
"Haha . What are you talking about? I just don't have a high alcohol tolerance . I can't drink much . "

"I hate people like you . You are one of those people who accumulate their wealth by exploiting manual laborers . "
"I've never done it . As you already know, I wasn't born into a wealthy family . I was born poor . "
"Not anymore . What were you doing when the labor workers at your factory worked so hard with all those machines and machine oils? You probably were drinking with girls . "
"Hey, what are you doing there? Someone stop Min-Ho . He seems to be drunk already . "
"What were you doing when I was fighting for the poor's right on the street? Gun-Ho Goo? Min-Hyeok Kim? You two are just businessmen who make money no matter how, without caring about the society and people . "
Min-Ho's statement seemed to upset Min-Hyeok .
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you drunk?"
"Yeah, I'm drunk . So what? I can't face this fu*king society without drinking . I can't stay sober . "
"Just keep drinking then and stop your BS . "
Min-Ho Kang turned his attention to Jae-Sik Moon this time .
"Jae-Sik Moon! You are writing a novel, huh? Don't write a funny story or useless stuff, but write about the problems of this society!"
"I actually write pure literature . "
Once Min-Ho started talking gibberish, a few friends left the gathering earlier; most of them had a home far from the area .
"I will be leaving . "
"I gotta go too . "
After five to six friends left the restaurant, Gun-Ho tried to calm Min-Ho Kang with a smile .
"Maybe you are right . I think you need to become a politician, not a businessman for sure . Our society needs people like you . "
"You think so, right? Gun-Ho Goo, I'm so glad that you understand me . "
"Yeah, your body seems to refuse to take more alcohol . Stop drinking for today . You are probably exhausted after having time in the big house . "
"So, you became a businessman, huh? When you were in high school, you were so poor . That's why you decided to become a businessman who is extorting money and labor from the poor? Stop doing it . Our people can find happiness once those wealthy business people like Samsung and Hyundai disappears . "
One of the friends finally yelled at Min-Ho .

"Hey, you dumb knucklehead! We do need Samsung and Hyundai to compete with other countries . You stupid moron!"
"What did you just call me? A moron?"
The room was heated by those people with different opinions . Some friends dragged Min-Ho out of the restaurant . Gun-Ho followed them outside .
"Min-Ho, let's have a talk . "
Gun-Ho took Min-Ho to a quiet place in an alley .
"To be honest with you, I was very surprised when I heard what happened to you . I'm sorry I didn't visit you in the prison . I heard that people become weakened once they spend some time in prison . Get something good for your body with this . "
Gun-Ho quickly slipped an envelope into Min-Ho's pocket .
"What the fu*k is this?"
Min-Ho took out the envelope from his pocket . However, when he opened it and realized there were a lot of cash in it, he slowly put it back to his pocket .
"You are drunk and must be tired today . Why don't you go home now? I will let our other friends that you went home earlier . I know you are the one who truly worries about our society . "
Gun-Ho quickly grabbed a taxi and sent Min-Ho to his home .
Gun-Ho could calm Min-Ho Kang down and convince him to leave the meeting early, with his money . It was not for his skillful talk or physical force, but it was his money that gave Gun-Ho the power to do it . Gun-Ho became a powerful man .
