[Korea's art lovers will have a chance to meet the great artworks of the Chinese young avant-garde artists who are currently receiving a lot of attention worldwide . Their art exhibition will be held at GH Gallery in Sinsa Town, Gangnam District from September 10 for the two weeks of the period . Their artworks have been highly recognized for their experimental spirits and artistic values . ]
Newspapers posted an art critic's comments along with one of the artworks which would be presented in the upcoming art exhibition . The painting on the newspaper looked strange to Gun-Ho . The newspaper said that the specific painting depicted the historical incident of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests figuratively .
Gun-Ho made a phone call to GH Media's President Jeong-Sook Shin .
"I just read about the art exhibition in a newspaper . They were making an issue out of it . "
"I'm actually expecting to see another news article about the art exhibition once again during the exhibition . "
"Really?"
"Art critics or journalists in the art field will possibly talk about it after they see the paintings themselves . "
"If you need more hands in getting the artworks, just let me know . I can send the workers from GH Mobile . "
"That's okay, sir . The art gallery which I used to work for offered me help . "
"That's good to hear . "
"The book café will open the door tomorrow as we are done with displaying books today . We also installed a coffee machine . If you have time, please visit us there . "
"Haha . Of course . I will be there tomorrow . "
The following day, Gun-Ho went to Seoul to visit the book café in his building . He went to the rooftop with Director Kang . There were already customers in the book café . Some of them were smoking a cigarette and some of them were having a cup of coffee . They seemed to be the workers of the companies in the building .
"Haha . How did these people learn about the opening of the book café?"
"We placed some advertisements for the book café in the building elevators . I guess that's how these workers of the building found out and came to check out the place . Also, the rooftop is a good area for smoking . "

"Really? I didn't notice any flyer in the elevator when I took it on the way here . I guess I didn't pay enough attention to notice it . I was preoccupied with another thought . Oh, my gosh . It seems there are more females than males who smoke here . "
"I guess people will not toss the cigarette butts on the ground any longer . "
Gun-Ho and Director Kang entered the book café . Director Kang asked for the female worker .
"This is the president . "
The lady gave a bow to Gun-Ho, but she didn't lift her head after the bow . She acted as if she was guilty of something .

'I think this lady is the one who is living with Jae-Sik Moon . She doesn't even want to make eye contact with me . '
Gun-Ho thought that she was just a shy person, and he wanted to make her feel at ease .
"This could be a hard work . If you encounter any difficulty while you are working here, please don't hesitate to let Director Kang know . "
"Thank you . "
The lady responded while still lowering her head .
At that moment, Director Kang said loudly while looking down on the rooftop .
"Huh? The workers just arrived to hang the banner . "
"What banner?"
"We are hanging a banner for the art exhibition for the Chinese young avant-garde artists . It's huge . President Shin wrote the wording . They will also hang a banner for the book café . "

"Really?"
"I will have to get down to check it out . "
Gun-Ho was reading a newspaper in his office when he saw the banner hanging . The enormous banner was refreshing and neat . He could hear people talking about,
"GH Gallery? They open an art gallery here . I guess I can spend some spare time here during lunchtime . That would be really nice . "
"Oh, this is the gallery where the avant-garde art exhibition will be held . "
Gun-Ho felt good . Many people seemed to be interested in the art exhibition that would be held in his building .
When Gun-Ho was standing near the window while looking out of the window with a smile, he received a call . The life seemed to make a balance by giving Gun-Ho bad news when he was enjoying good news .
"Sir, this is GH Mobile's general affairs director . "
"Mr . General Affairs Director? What's the matter?"
"I think you should come to Jiksan Town quickly, sir . "
"Me? Why? What happened?"
"The third attempt of the wage negotiation with the labor union has fallen through, and the workers started sitting in . "
"You have President Song and other executives there, who could handle the situation . "
"The workers are demanding to talk with the company owner . If this sit-in escalates into a work strike in the factory, it could be a big problem . "
"What do they want?"

"They are saying that their wages were frozen during the court receivership for three years, and they want their wages to be raised retroactively . "
"That's all they want?"
"They want a 16 . 5% increase for the current raise . "
"Okay . I am on my way . "
When Gun-Ho was in a hurry, walking out of the office, Director Kang followed him quickly .
"What's going on, sir?"
"We will possibly be facing a strike at the factory in Jiksan Town . "
"Dumb as*es! There must be people there who have a hidden agenda and who are connected to some external influences . You will need to find them and have them arrested . "
Gun-Ho arrived at GH Mobile in Jiksan Town .
The general affairs director was waiting for Gun-Ho at the entrance .
"They congregated in the main auditorium . They said they won't move even an inch until they see you, sir . "
When Gun-Ho approached close to the building entrance door, he could hear loud noises from the main auditorium . He could hear rallying cry and loud singing of some labor songs .
The internal auditor ran towards Gun-Ho when he saw him .
"We can call the police for this . "
"Don't call the police . Where is President Song?"
"He is caught at the auditorium . "
Once Gun-Ho entered the main auditorium, all the noises were stopped at once for a second .
"He is here!"
"President Goo is here!"
"The owner president is here . "
Gun-Ho sat on the platform seating facing the workers . The people were wearing red headbands across their foreheads . It said 'Fight . ' Gun-Ho wondered where they bought those hideous headbands . President Song walked up to the platform and sat next to Gun-Ho . He looked exhausted .
Gun-Ho grabbed the microphone .
"I came here as soon as I heard about the negotiation . I was in Seoul attending an event . I'm sorry that I came late . I am the major shareholder of GH Mobile, but President Jang-Hwan Song here runs the company on a daily basis . If there is a problem, we should resolve it by talking to each other . This is not the right way to find a solution . "
The leader of the labor union grabbed his microphone .
"President Jang-Hwan Song doesn't seem to have enough power since he refused to accept our demands . We want to talk with the owner president . "
People started shouting 'That's right!' in the background .
"I can accept any demand that President Song agreed to accept, and I cannot accept any demand that he refused to accept . But since I'm here, let me hear you out . Mr . General Affairs Director, please write down their demands . "
The members of the labor union started listing what they wanted . They were making endless demands from A to Z . Many of the demands didn't even make any sense . They were simply asking too much .
