After ringing a few times, Min-Hyeok Kim picked up the phone .

“Hey, how much does your wife make at the international school in Suzhou City?”
“About 3,000 Yuan . Why are you asking?”
“Ask her if she is interested in taking the position of a president of our new company . ”
“What? You mean the sales company of Dyeon Korea in the China market? Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m dead serious . Her salary will be around 8,000 Yuan . ”
“Hmm . ”
“This position with the joint venture could be a risky choice for her while her current job with school is stable but it pays a low salary . She will be paid way higher at the new joint venture . ”
“You know she has no work experience in the field, right?”
“There’s a first time for everyone . You and I didn’t have experience with running a company when we started, either . ”
“That’s true . But, I’m not sure if she is willing to take the job . That’s the problem . ”
“Only one way to find out . Ask her if she is interested . ”
“It’s a tempting job offer though given the salary—8,000 Yuan . ”
“After three months of the probation period, I will consider giving her a stock option as well if she has an aptitude for it . ”
“Stock option?”
“Yes . ”

“Okay . I will talk to her and will let you know . ”
In the afternoon, Gun-Ho went to Dyeon Korea .
He was sitting in his office when he received a call from Jae-Sik Moon .
“We need a semi-tractor-trailer truck . We sometimes get a request for transporting a container . They assume that we could handle container transportation after visiting our website . ”
“Does the company have enough funds to buy one?”
“Yes, we do . And, Capital financial institution is willing to make an arrangement for it . ”
“I’m not sure the company yard is large enough to park a semi-trailer truck . ”
“Don’t worry about it . There are a lot of vacant lands around here . I think I can easily lease some space to park the truck . ”
“A semi-tractor-trailer truck is an extremely long truck, isn’t it? You will need a large space to accommodate it . ”
“A trailer part can be separated from its tractor unit . So, when we have to park it, we can divide the truck into two pieces . ”
“Get one if you think it is necessary . And, from now on, you don’t have to discuss with me about getting an additional truck . I just need to hear the regular report on profits and losses . That’s it . ”
“The landowner of the farmland next door came and complained about our business activities . I just told him to sell his land if he has a problem with us . ”
“About the discharge of oil, right?”
“The thing is that we haven’t discharged any oil . He was just bitching for nothing . I know that some trashes are blown onto his land, but there is no oil spill . I think maybe he just wants to sell his land to us . That’s why he is bitching to make an excuse to sell his land . ”
“He probably didn’t take your offer to buy his land seriously since you suggested it while bickering with him . When you have time, just visit him and make your offer to buy his land . ”

“Okay, I will do that . ”
“Keep up the good work . I will talk to you later then . ”
“Hey, will you come over here this evening for dinner? Jong-Suk will be here around 6 pm . He said he would bring some Jokbal* . ”
“Oh, really? It sounds delicious . I will come by on the way up to my home in Seoul . ”
In that evening, Gun-Ho went to GH Logistics in Seonghwan Town .
A blue canopy was placed in the front yard, and a lot of wrapping storage containers were piled up on one side of the yard . Inside the office, there was a reception desk just like the one in a bank or a post office . Terms and conditions of transportation were hanging on the wall . There was a banner hanging in the center of the office . It said,
‘Speed, Smile, Service . Be proactive with 3 S . ’
Gun-Ho smiled while reading the banner .
There was no one at the reception desk . The worker probably already left for the day . Lots of bills of lading were piled up on the desk . The company looked like it was in good business .
“Hey, you are here . ”
Jae-Sik was looking at a computer monitor when Gun-Ho entered the office . Jong-Suk seemed to be not there yet .
“Where is Jong-Suk?”
“He just called saying he is almost here . ”
At that moment, Gun-ho heard the sound of a car engine . It was probably Jong-Suk .
“Huh? Gun-Ho bro! I didn’t know you were coming here too . ”

“I came here because Jae-Sik told me that you would bring some Jokbal* . How come you have empty hands?”
“Man, who would carry around Jokbal* these days? I asked the restaurant to deliver them to this address . They are on their way here . I guess I will order more of them since you and Chan-Ho bro are joining us for dinner . ”
Jong-Suk Park made a call to the restaurant to order more Jokbal* .
“Hi, I’m calling from GH Logistics . That’s right . It’s the location where there used to be an auto repair shop . If you haven’t left to deliver Jokbal that I ordered earlier, I’d like to add one large plate . ”
“Don’t we need soju?”
“I have five bottles of soju in my car . ”
“I guess you are carrying around your soju in your car all the time . ”
“I bought them from a supermarket on the way here . ”
Jong-Suk covered the table with a newspaper like it was a tablecloth .
“And you carry around a newspaper in your car too, huh?”
“No, I picked it up on the way here . I thought we would need it . ”
“I’m sure these newspapers were not meant to be used for this purpose . Their publisher will have a lot to say to you if they see this . ”
It seemed someone arrived on a motorbike . It was probably the delivery man from the restaurant . He placed one large plate of Jokbal* and one medium plate of it on the table . He also brought a large bottle of coke for free of charge . ”
Jong-Suk quickly paid for them when Gun-Ho pulled out his wallet to pay .
“Jong-Suk, you are a salaryman . You should let me, the business owner, pay for it . ”
“Sir, this dinner is on me . Just don’t forget that I treat you . Oh, I will ask Chan-Ho to come inside . ”
Jong-Suk went outside and called for Chan-Ho Eum .
Four men including Chan-Ho Eum sat on a table .
Jong-Suk was very fast in setting the table . Four bottles of soju were already open, and paper cups were all in place . He quickly opened the package of Jokbal* before filling up the paper cups with soju .
“Gun-Ho bro, drink it as much as you want since Chan-Ho will drive for you . Before Chan-Ho started working for you and when you had to drive your Land Rover yourself, you could barely drink . Remember those days?”
“Still, let me have a little of soju . ”
“Chan-Ho, you shouldn’t drink tonight, okay? Let me fill up your cup with coke instead . ”
Jong-Suk handed a cup of coke to Chan-Ho . Chan-Ho took it with two hands .
“Thank you, little brother . ”
“Continue your good service for the big brother . He is really a good man . ”
“I know that . Don’t worry about it . ”
