Chapter 286: 286
Every morning, the accounting manager brought a daily financial report to the president's office for Gun-Ho to review . The report was already reviewed and signed by the internal auditor . It usually included detailed statements of deposits and withdrawals, electronic promissory notes, and B2B payments of the previous day .

"Please take the report to President Song as well . "
"I tried, sir, but he refused to review it . He said he wants to focus only on sales and production . "
"Hmm . He said so?"
It seemed that President Song was a very careful man . He didn't want to give Gun-Ho the impression that he was trying to involve himself in managing the company too much and too deeply even though Gun-Ho was the one who offered a co-president position to him in the first place .
After the accounting manager left the office, the sales department's manager—Chang-Hoon Seo—entered the office . He was one of those people who were recently promoted .
"Did Director Dong-Chan Kim hand over all the work in the sales department to you before he left for Dyeon Korea?"
"Yes, he did . I sometimes give him a call when I have something to ask him . "
"That's good . A sale is very important to our business . It's not an overstatement when we say a company's business is dependent on its sales activities . "
"We are doing our best, sir . We received a new order from Seongchang Corp . of 50,000 sealants . This is probably a one-time order, so it won't be very helpful in the long-term though . "
"Really?"
"Yes, sir . Director Jong-Suk Park said he would use the Production Line 4 to produce the sealants . He said the machines in Line 4 are not doing anything right now . "
"Well, it can be a good start . They might place more orders of the same products or even other products . We will have to make the best products we could on every order . "
"Understood, sir . "
"Any other thing you want to make a report to me?"
"Umm… Sangweon Industry's president's son is getting married soon . I was not sure how much money gift do we need to make for it . "

"Sangweon Industry is one of our major customer companies . We are selling our products to them for 200 million won per month . Where is the wedding venue?"
"It's at the Hilton Hotel in Seoul . It's on next Saturday, sir . "
"I will attend his wedding . It's Sangweon Industry; I'd better go there and congratulate him on his son's wedding . They are an important customer to us . Tell the general affairs department to prepare a congratulatory flower wreath with my name on it and send it to them on the wedding day . "
"Yes, sir . I will leave his wedding invitation letter here . "
When Sales Manager Chang-Hwan Seo was walking toward the door to leave, Gun-Ho called him .
"Oh, Manager Seo . I knew you recently had your own wedding . I was in Japan at that time, and I am sorry that I couldn't attend your wedding . "
"No, sir . Don't say that . I received your wedding money gift . It was a lot, and I really appreciate it . I also know that you instructed all of the executives to come to my wedding . I had lots of people at my wedding to congratulate me . Thank you, sir . "
"Where are you living right now?"
"I am living in Ssangyong Town, Cheonan City, sir . "
After reviewing the daily report, Gun-Ho went to the construction site in Asan City . There were three container offices placed at the entrance of the construction site . One was for Director Yoon, and one was shared by Mr . Adam Castler and Director Dong-Chan Kim . Also, the interpreter—Mr . Lee—was there too, so a small desk was added . The office was certainly not spacious; they were actually very small to be shared by three people . The other one was used by the construction workers for their break time . There was only one portable toilet for their use . The setting was very uncomfortable for all the people who were working there, but they didn't complain because their state-of-the-art factory was being built, and it was almost done . They were just hoping that the building would be built more quickly .
"How are you all?"
When Gun-Ho entered the construction site, Director Kim and the interpreter stood up and greeted him . Mr . Adam Castler stood up from his seat and shouted, "Good morning . "
Gun-Ho looked at the interpreter and said,
"Can you ask Mr . Adam Castler if he is comfortable working here?"

After the interpreter asked Mr . Castler in English, Mr . Castler smiled broadly and said,
"No problem . "
Director Yoon was at the construction site and ran to the container office when he heard that Gun-Ho was here .
"Sir, you are here?"
"How are you, Director Yoon?"
"The building is completed . We are working on the electric wires right now . "
"Really?"
"Would you like to have a cup of coffee, sir? We do have a vending machine in the resting area . "
"Haha . No, thank you . I've already had my morning coffee, but thank you for offering . "
Gun-Ho entered the container office, which was being used by Director Yoon . There was a small round table that was probably good for three or four people, and it enabled them to have a meeting there . Director Dong-Chan Kim followed Gun-Ho to the container office .
"I guess we need to start preparing for the building dedication ceremony again . "
"We can make it very similar to the building dedication ceremony we had for the factory in Jiksan Town . Will it be okay?"
"Sure . But this time we will have to invite all the officials from the local government in Asan City . You can ask the general affairs director—Director Choi—for it . This factory construction has drawn a lot of attention when it was mentioned in the local newspaper because of the assault incident nearby Onyang Hot Spring Hotel last time . "
"Understood, sir . "
"How is it going with hiring an employee for Dyeon Korea?"

"I have the two best candidates, and I haven't decided who I should select yet . "
"Both candidates speak English well?"
"Yes, they do . Would you like to take a look at their resumes, sir?"
"No, it's okay . If you can't select only one person because you like them both, you can hire them all . "
"Thank you, sir . That's a relief . I guess I will take them both . "
Director Kim looked excited and smiled broadly .
When Gun-Ho came back to his office in Jiksan Town after visiting the construction site in Asan City, it was 11:30 am . Director Jong-Suk Park was hovering around Gun-Ho's office door .
"What's up?"
"This…"
"An early leave request for the day? What's wrong? Are you ill? Do you need to see a doctor?"
"My parents are here . I gotta go . "
"Your parents? Here in Cheonan City?"
"Yes . "
"Oh, really? For what occasion?"
"My parents will meet my girlfriend's parents today . "
"Really? That's why you look so neat today . You had a new haircut, huh?"
"Haha . Right . "
"Where are they going to meet?"
"Seungjiwon restaurant in Baekseok Town . "
"Where are your parents right now?"
"They will arrive soon at the Express Bus Terminal . If I leave now, I can arrive there on time . "
"Let's go together . "
"With you, bro?"
"Yes . Your parents came all the way to Cheonan City . I want to see them . "
"You don't have to, bro . "
"I still remember your mom's warm and fantastic Seolleongtang (an ox bone soup) . Let's go . "
"Really… you don't have to do that . "
"Just follow me with your car . I will drive before you . Let's meet at the waiting area in the bus terminal . "
