GH Media’s President Jeong-Sook Shin came .
“I heard that you’ve achieved another success with the cartoon exhibition of Japanese original cartoon paintings . ”
“It is successful, but selling an expensive painting would have brought more profits than hosting this cartoon exhibition . Hahaha . ”
“But it was very effective marketing since so many students rush into our gallery . ”
“Those kids are just noisy . ”
“They will soon become our precious customers . ”
“Those little customers are from Gangnam District, and they seem to have no problem buying a painting for 200,000 or 300,000 won . ”
“Their parents wouldn’t mind them spending the money to buy a cartoon painting . It’s not wrongdoing, is it?”
“I heard them talking about the paintings and the cartoonists . They seem to know much more than us about cartoons . ”
“That means Japanese cartoons are very popular among those students . ”
“They read original Japanese cartoon books even though they are not translated into Korean . That’s amazing . ”
“Even though it won’t bring a fortune, I am so glad that your exhibition is again successful this time . ”

“Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda suggested another exhibition with items that are used for a costume play, but I turned it down . ”
“What is a costume play? I think I heard the word before . ”
“Children dress like a cartoon character and a place is decorated as a scene in a cartoon book . They can’t wear outfits like that on normal days, but once there is an event for it, people go there in those ridiculous outfits . It seems that Hakyeoul Seoul Trade Exhibition Center is hosting an event like that right now . ”
“If it’s that popular, why did you reject the suggestion?”
“We are an art gallery . I thought that hosting that sort of event could diminish our gallery’s class or reputation . ”
“Hmm . ”
“I’m thinking of hosting a sculpture exhibition next time . ”
“Is that so?”
“Oh, and I will have dinner with Artist Choi’s niece—Doctor Eun-Young Kim this Friday . Why don’t you join us, sir? We will meet at the Daehak-Ro area . ”
“I don’t want to interrupt your cozy gathering . ”
“No, you won’t, sir . Since she invited us for dinner last time, I wanted to treat her . ”
“How is Ms . Young-Eun Kim person related to Artist Choi?”

“Young-Eun is Artist Choi’s older sister’s daughter . ”
“I see . ”
“Ever since her mom died, she thought of Artist Choi like her mom . ”
“How did her mother pass away?”
“When Young-Eun was in high school, her mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer . I went to her funeral . ”
“I see . ”
“She grew up really well . I’m so proud of her . I remember her crying so hard and so sad at the funeral . She is now a medical doctor . ”
“Her father must live by himself . ”
“Right . He is living in Sillim Town . He had used to work as a teacher in an elementary school before he retired . By the way, sir, you sound like an investigator today . Hahaha . ”
“Huh? Umm…”
Gun-Ho stammered .
“Well, I guess I’d better go to the gallery downstairs . I’m sorry that I take Secretary Yeon-Soo Oh to the gallery too often . ”

“No problem . She doesn’t have much work here now anyway . ”
Jeong-Sook Shin walked toward the door and then turned around and said, “I think Artist Choi likes you a lot, sir . ”
“I’m sorry?”
Gun-Ho blushed .
Artist Choi was hoping that her niece would marry Gun-Ho even though her niece was not interested in marrying anyone . She was persuading her niece over the phone .
“Young-Eun, you don’t want to miss your golden time for marriage . Look at me . I missed my time and I live alone and I’m pathetic . You have always told me that you wanted to have a center for cancer research . You won’t be able to save enough money by working in a hospital to do so . If you marry a man who has a wealthy family, maybe it’s possible; however, it’s not easy to find that sort of man who wants to marry you . It’s not like they would welcome any woman to their family, just because she is a medical doctor . Moreover, say you found a man like that . Do you think you can be happy as part of their family? The chances are that you would feel suffocated in their family .
But, the Gun-Ho Goo person is a self-made successful man . He is in control of his wealth and who to marry and how to manage the marriage . He is a good-looking man, and he is gentle with good manners . I don’t want to focus on money, but I was told that he owns a huge building in Gangnam District, and he has several companies that he is running right now . You know that President Jeong-Sook Shin is very picky when it comes to a man . She spoke highly of him . Who knows? He might build a nice hospital for you .
I know you are making decent money by working in a hospital; however, as I said before, you can’t make enough to build a hospital . As you know, many doctors filed for bankruptcy after they opened their own hospitals with a loan . You don’t hear much but I heard many of them became a person with bad credit . You know what that means, right? You also should remember the news about a doctor who had a high-ranking government official father . He opened his own hospital and then later he committed suicide when he faced acute financial difficulties in running his business .
President Gun-Ho Goo didn’t graduate from Seoul National University as you did, but he went to a university in China . He seemed to have many friends in China, who are a college professor, a deputy mayor, etc . You don’t have to be too proud about your college . Many graduates from Seoul National University don’t make enough money to provide for his family . President Gun-Ho Goo is not just a businessman, but he is someone who can enjoy arts . On the first day of my art exhibition, he came and bought a piece of my artworks . At that time, I wondered who that gentleman was, and it turned out that he was the man who Jeong-Sook Shin talked to me about . Are you listening, Eun-Young? Oh, you are busy right now? Okay, I will talk to you later . ”
Artist Choi was trying whatever she could to talk her niece into dating Gun-Ho, but she was not sure if she was successful .
Gun-Ho stopped by GH Logistics in Seonghwan Town that afternoon . There were several heavy equipments parked in the yard, and a few truck drivers were seen . It looked like the company was running fine . Jae-Sik Moon looked better that day compared to other days when he had swollen lips in fatigue . He seemed to gain some weight too .
“Hey, you are here, President Goo . ”
“I saw several trucks and heavy equipment in the yard . ”
“Right . We have now twenty seven vehicles . I bought one more truck for the Paju location since we received more work for transporting books . People recognize our company as a big company now . ”
“Really? So there must be three trucks in the Paju location . ”
“Dyeon Korea’s Director Yoon asked one more truck too . ”
“Did you start the work that Director Yoon connected you to?”
“Yes . I already sent five 25-dump trucks . ”
“What is that truck over there for?”
“That’s the special freight truck customized to transport artworks . ”
