Chapter 368: 368

Gun-Ho went to the restaurant where he was supposed to meet with President Jeong-Sook Shin that day . The restaurant was located right behind the Starbucks across Gun-Ho’s building . It was a Japanese food restaurant named Gimsusa and they were serving sushi . When Gun-Ho arrived at the restaurant, there were President Shin and another lady and also the Japanese man— Yoshitake Matsuda waiting for him .

President Shin introduced the lady to Gun-Ho .

“This is Jeong-Soon Choi—an artist of the western-style painting . ”

“It’s a pleasure meeting you . I’m Gun-Ho Goo . ”

The painter glanced at Gun-Ho’s face for a while and said,

“Are you the gentleman who bought a painting on the first day of my art exhibition?”

“Yes . I reserved one painting for me because I liked your paintings . ”

President Shin’s eyes widened .

“Oh my, I didn’t know that you buy paintings, President Goo . You haven’t shown much of your interest in paintings, so I have tried not to talk much about artworks when I’m with you . You are an art lover . ”

Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda laughed and said, “It’s very nice to love paintings . ”

It was the lunch rush and the restaurant was crowded with people . But the restaurant provided a comfortable environment to converse without being disturbed .

“Where in Japan are you planning to have your art exhibition?”

“It will be in Yokohama City . ”

Talking about Japan always reminded Gun-Ho of Mori Aikko .

“I often travel to Japan . I will stop by your art exhibition in Japan if I’m in the area . ”

“Thank you, President Goo . ”

Gun-Ho ordered a bottle of beer and filled up a glass with it and handed it to Ms . Jeong-Soon Choi .

“Please take one glass of beer to celebrate our meeting . ”

Jeong-Soon Choi lifted her glass and clinked it to Gun-Ho’s glass, and then she said, “I do appreciate the opportunity to have an art exhibition at GH Gallery . I know you provided your gallery for me at a very reasonable price and I really liked the pamphlet as well . I wanted to thank you, President Goo . ”

“I haven’t done much . President Jeong-Sook Shin here did all those work for you . I don’t really get involved in the gallery business . ”

“I’m still grateful for your help, President Goo . If you didn’t allow it, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity . By the way, I was actually expecting to see a tough and wild man when I made this lunch appointment with you since you are running several businesses . You are actually a young man with tenderhearted eyes . ”

Gun-Ho felt embarrassed when Jeong-Soon Choi praised his appearance, so he tried to quickly change the subject . Gun-Ho said while clinking his glass of beer to Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda’s .

“Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda, I thank you for recommending me to host an art exhibition with Japanese original cartoon paintings . ”

“Haha . I do appreciate the opportunity for doing it . ”

President Shin said to Gun-Ho, “Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda used to work as a journalist and he has connections in the field . He promised that he would send the art exhibition news to Japanese media for Jeong-Soon Choi’s art exhibition in Japan . ”

This time, Jeong-Soon Choi thanked Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda for helping her and she clinked her glass to Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda’s .

At that moment, President Shin received a call and she went outside the restaurant to take the call after excusing herself . When she came back to the restaurant, she said, “I’m so sorry . I had to take that call . It was from President Jae-Sik Moon . He asked where they need to deliver Jeong-Soon Choi’s paintings to . ”

Jeong-Soon Choi asked President Shin, “Did you tell him to bring them to Yangpyeong County?”

“Yeah . I told him to bring it to Yangpyeong . ”

Gun-Ho said while dipping a piece of sushi into the soy sauce with wasabi,

“So you are living in Yangpyeong . ”

President Shin answered it on behalf of Jeong-Soon Choi .

“She is living in Yangpyeong, in a nice single house with a garden . She is living there by herself doing her artworks . I really think she should get married . ”

“Haha . I’ve heard that many artists live in a single house with a garden distant from a busy city . ”

“Her house is not very big though . She chose a small house because she thinks she might feel scared of living in a large house alone . Her garden is full of plants and trees like a jujube tree and a Cornus . She is actually living with a dog . ”

“Haha, really? It sounds like a fun place . ”

“Why don’t you visit her house when you have time? She is a very good cook . Her specialty is cold noodles in soybean soup . I’m sure she will offer you a nice soybean soup noodle . ”

“Haha . That sounds really delicious . ”

“Oh, and her niece sometimes comes to visit her there . She is the one…”

When President Shin didn’t finish her sentence, Gun-Ho asked her with a smile, “Why did you stop there?”

“I was not sure if it’s okay to say it . Actually, she is the niece who I wanted to introduce to you . ”

“Haha, really? What is she doing for a living?”

“She is a medical doctor . She works for Seoul National University Hospital . ”

Gun-Ho’s face suddenly hardened .

After lunch, Gun-Ho came back to his office .

The secretary—Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh brought a cup of coffee to Gun-Ho . Gun-Ho thought about the niece who President Shin talked about while having his afternoon coffee .

‘There must be tons of female doctors in Seoul National University Hospital . I don’t think she is that niece . ’

Gun-Ho was sitting on his sofa and he was deep in thought when he received a call from Jae-Sik Moon .

“President Goo? I just wanted to let you know how things are going with GH Logistics . The business that I went to Eumseong Town yesterday went well . I signed the work contract with them . Three freight trucks will be fully used for this work . ”

“Good job . ”

“The thing is that one of the three trucks will be used for the transportation work to Incheon International Airport, not Pyeongtaek Port . When I got there, I distributed my business cards to everyone . ”

“Nice . When are you planning to get those trucks?”

“I decided not to buy new trucks . I will have to customize the top part on my own if I buy new trucks . Instead, I bought used trucks in installments . They all came with already-customized top parts . It’s more convenient that way . They are all less than 50,000 kilometers on them . ”

“Oh, really?”

“Since I saved some money by getting used trucks, I was able to get another truck for the artworks delivery work . That truck is a used one too . All the necessary stuffs are already built inside the truck like hangers and metal-framed shelves . Many people applied for the truck driver position in responding to the job posting I placed the other day . I guess they liked the fact that they would be provided with a truck and they didn’t have to bring their own trucks . There was one applicant who used to transport artworks, so I hired that driver right away . ”

“Hmm, really?”

“I’ve already done one artwork transportation work today . It was from Gwangju City to Seoul . I have another artwork delivery waiting for me next week . It’s for the artist who is currently doing her art exhibition at GH Gallery . The work is busy but it doesn’t seem to generate much income . ”

“For now, you will need to show people that GH Logistics handles various transportation work . ”

“I know . On the company website, it is stated that GH Logistics provides a total transportation service . And I listed all sorts of items we handle such as products from manufacturing companies and artworks, including sculptures . Also, I stated there that we cover the transport not only ground transport but also air and sea transport . I didn’t forget to mention that we also lease heavy equipment . ”

“Man, I think the company will grow big soon . ”

“Oh, and I found that it is possible to purchase a brand new car in installments . Even though the company’s president has a bad credit score, as long as the company has another person who could provide his personal guarantee, then it is possible . ”

“I’m so happy to see you work hard, friend . ”

“I have no other choice . This is the only work I have . ”
