Gun-Ho continued to talk with Jae-Sik Moon about GH Logistics’ business .
“How much is the sales revenue?”
“It’s about 100 million won per month . I have a suggestion to make to you, President Goo . ”
“What is it?”
“I want to get more trucks . Is it okay to buy more trucks with the profits we generate?”
“Sure, do so . ”
“If we do that, you won’t get any money . ”
“Getting more trucks means growing this company, and that means my asset is growing . So it doesn’t matter to me . ”
“Really? Thank you . ”
“And, how much salary do you take?”
“The bookkeeper takes 1 . 8 million won per month, the office manager takes 2 . 2, and I take 2 . 5 . It’s the same amount of salary I received when I worked for GH Media . ”
“That’s it? How much is President Shin paid?”
“Her monthly salary is 3 . 5 million won . ”
“GH Media is generating good revenue now . President Shin’s and your salary is too low . I guess I’ve been ignorant . ”
“President Shin said she is going to negotiate her salary at the end of this year when she gives you a report about the company . ”
“We still have two months left before the time . Well, I will wait for her salary negotiation then . In the meanwhile, let’s raise your salary to 3 million won now, President Moon . And use 1 million won per month for any sales activity expenses . ”
“Umm… Will it be okay?”
“If the company generates more profits, we will negotiate your salary again then . ”

“That won’t be necessary . I am happy with what I have now . I make 3 million won per month, and I can use 1 million won for sales activity, and also I’m riding SM5 . I don’t envy no one now . ”
“You shouldn’t stop there . You should aim at becoming a person who is receiving hundreds of millions of won and who is riding a luxurious car . ”
“Well, thank you for saying that . ”
It was Friday afternoon .
Gun-Ho got a haircut and put on a dazzling white shirt with a tie . He then headed to the Daehak-Ro area in Dongsung Town .
Gun-Ho said to Chan-Ho Eum in his Bentley, “Find a place to park around Heyhwa Station subway line 5 . I’m going to a place nearby Arko Arts Theater . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
Chan-Ho loved going on a trip with Gun-Ho to somewhere out of routine because he was paid 1 . 5 times more for those days’ work, and he usually had a nice dinner .
Gun-Ho went to the restaurant where he was supposed to meet President Shin and the lady doctor . The restaurant was situated on the second floor, and it was cozy .
When he arrived, he looked around and then found President Jeong-Sook Shin who was waving at Gun-Ho . The lady doctor, whose name that Gun-ho was told was Young-Eun Kim, was there too . They seemed to wait for Gun-Ho without placing any order .
“I’m sorry that I’m late . ”
Gun-Ho sat next to President Shin . Young-Eun Kim looked at Gun-Ho and she looked surprised . She probably didn’t know that Gun-Ho would join them for dinner .
Gun-Ho said to Young-Eun, “Hi . ”
Young-Eun didn’t look comfortable to see him there .
“Young-Eun, you remember him, right? He came to your aunt’s home last time and we had warm noodles together . He is actually the one who wanted to buy us dinner today . ”
A waiter at the restaurant brought water for everyone . President Shin made small talk, “How was the traffic? The traffic must be congested this hour, isn’t it?”
“Yes, a little . ”
“Did you come with your chauffeur?”

“Yes, I told him that I would come back a bit late . He is probably having his dinner after parking the car . ”
“Oh, you know what? I parked my car on the street . I think I’d better go now . Please enjoy your dinner . ”
President Shin quickly left the restaurant . She seemed to give some privacy to this young man and woman .
After President Shin left, Gun-Ho talked to Young-Eun Kim .
“I wanted to thank you for the lunch the other day in Yangpyeong County . ”
“Oh, no problem . ”
Young-Eun seemed to be tense .
“Shall we order food?”
As he said to Young-Eun, he handed the menu book to her .
“Please place your order first . ”
Young-Eun gave the menu book back to Gun-Ho .
Gun-Ho picked something that was neither expensive nor cheap .
“How about this one?”
“That sounds good . ”
Young-Eun responded calmly .
Gun-Ho placed an order to the waiter .
Gun-Ho then drank the water . He was trying to come up with anything that he could talk with her about .
“I heard you live around here . ”

“Yes, I live in Myeonglyoon Town . ”
“Is it a condo?”
“Yes, it is . ”
Silence filled the air again .
“I actually wanted to buy you dinner to show my gratitude . But it turned out that you treated me first . ”
“Young-Eun looked at Gun-Ho . She seemed puzzled while trying to think of any reason why Gun-Ho would want to thank her .
“My mother received spinal surgery at Seoul National University Hospital last month . She also suffered from constipation which required an enema, and you helped her . I was there, and I was shocked at the scene . I didn’t know a medical doctor does it as part of their job . I was so grateful that you relieved my mother’s pain . Thank you again . ”
“Which patient room did your mother stay in?”
“She stayed in a room sharing with other patients and then moved to a one-person room . ”
“Oh, oh, I think I remember her . ”
Young-Eun smiled faintly . She had never smiled until then at the restaurant . Gun-Ho thought that she looked cute .
“Let’s change the subject since we have to eat . ”
Gun-Ho drank his glass of water again . For some reason, he felt thirsty . After a while, Gun-Ho said, “Taking care of patients as a doctor is hard, isn’t it?”
Young-Eun smiled faintly again; what Gun-Ho said to her sounded warm and caring .
“It’s a rewarding job . ”
The food came out . It was a beefsteak . They ate the food without saying a word . Gun-Ho placed some delicious side dishes close to Young-Eun .
“It’s okay . ”
Young-Eun placed them back to where they were .
“What do you do for a living?”
“I run companies . I have two manufacturing factories, and I have a building in Sinsa Town, Gangnam . I rent them out . I’m making it alright . ”
Young-Eun smiled again when Gun-Ho said he was doing alright in making his living .
“Medical doctors are doing fine in making a living, aren’t they?”
“Right, we do alright too . ”
Gun-Ho ordered a bottle of beer and filled up a glass with it and gave it to Young-Eun .
“Drink just one glass of beer . I will finish the rest of the bottle . ”
Young-Eun didn’t say anything .
“You must be living by yourself then . I live by myself too in a condo in Dogok Town . ”
“Where is Dogok Town?”
“It’s two blocks from Yangjae Town . ”
“Did you make an investment in President Shin’s company?”
“Yes, a little . President Shin is very knowledgeable in the arts . The first art exhibition that she hosted at my art gallery was with Chinese northern school literati paintings . She then had another exhibition with Chinese young painters’ avant-garde art . ”
Gun-Ho talked a lot about arts based on the knowledge that he heard from President Jeong-Sook Shin as if he knew about them by heart and as if he was really into arts . He was not a talkative type, but during that day, he could talk a lot without any difficulty after having a glass of beer . Young-Eun Kim seemed to be interested in what Gun-Ho was telling .
