Chapter 415: First Meeting between the Families of the Bride and Groom (3) – Part 2
Once he received his dividend from GH Auto Parts in China, Gun-Ho would make double his investment . Gun-Ho was very satisfied with the result of his investment .
“My factory in China is successful . I think the business background of GH Mobile was the key to its success . ”
Gun-Ho’s wealth was gradually increasing .
The dorky Gun-Ho was not a good student grade-wise when he was in school . He was an average student in a suburb close to Seoul City . With his grade, he didn’t even consider going to a college within Seoul at that time . It was highly competitive even among the students in high school located within Seoul City to be admitted to a college inside Seoul City .
Gun-Ho studied one more year after graduating high school in order to get into a college . He was eventually admitted to a low ranking college in South Chungnam Province, but he couldn’t even complete his degree there because of money . The tuition was expensive as well as the living costs . His father was unemployed at that time, and his mother was working as a caregiver in a nursing home . With his mother’s salary only, his parents couldn’t fully support Gun-Ho financially .
He then decided to finish his mandatory military service without finishing his college education . After completing the service, he started taking classes from a cyber college while working part-time .
Gun-Ho thought that once he got a job in the government, he would be able to support his family including himself . So, he began to study for the level-9 government job exam while staying in a tiny room in Noryangjin Town, and he eventually gave up after failing the exam multiple times .
He then started working in a factory while moving from one factory to another until he accidentally met Chairman Lee from Cheongdam Town . His years of experience with the factory works became a valuable asset for Gun-Ho in running his current manufacturing companies .
Even the dorky Gun-Ho was good at something . He was not a good math student, but he was outstanding in calculating numbers like addition and subtraction . He was a mediocre student, but he had an excellent memorizing ability . Also, he showed incredible concentration when it came to money . He was persistent in getting a lucrative opportunity . His investment in the stock market, real estate, and acquisition of a company were the examples .
Gun-Ho received a call from Artist Choi .
“President Goo? Can you talk right now?”
“Yes . Please go on . ”
“Have you and Young-Eun met each other’s parents?”
“Yes, we have . ”
“Then, why haven’t you proceeded to the next step yet? You should set up a meeting between your parents and Young-Eun’s father . ”
“Oh, the meeting between the families? Umm, sure, of course, we should . ”
“I’m sorry to say this, but I feel like you two wouldn’t be able to marry without another person’s help . ”
“I’m, I’m sorry . ”
“Set up the meeting this Saturday . Since your parents are in Incheon City and Young’s father is in Sillim Town, Seoul, I think Yeouido would be an adequate venue for the meeting . Make a reservation with a restaurant in 63 Building there . ”
“Umm, sure, I will do that . ”
“If you look at the directory of 63 Building, you will see a restaurant called Shuchiku . It’s a Japanese restaurant, and it’s on the 58th floor . Let me make a reservation for you . I will make the reservation for this Saturday at 1 pm . Your wedding date is scheduled for March 18th . Why don’t you decide on a wedding hall after discussing it with Young-Eun? You don’t have much time left . You’d better hurry in preparing for your wedding . ”
After getting off the phone with Artist Choi, Gun-Ho sent a text message to Young-Eun .
[Ms . Artist Choi will make a reservation with a restaurant—Chuchiku—in 63 Building for the meeting of two families . Please come to the restaurant this Saturday at 1 pm with your father . ]
Young-Eun’s reply arrived .
[Okay . I will do that . ]
Once he received a confirmation from Young-Eun, Gun-Ho made a call to his mother .
“Mom? We will meet with Young-Eun’s father this Saturday . It will be at a restaurant in 63 Building . ”
“This Saturday? That sounds good . I was actually wondering why no one hasn’t said anything about the formal meeting between two families . ”
“If you come to the 58th floor, there is a Japanese restaurant . Come at 1 pm . ”
“Did you say 58th floor? There is a restaurant there? I didn’t know that . ”
“Yeah, there is one . Come and ride with my sister . ”
“Okay . Haha . ”
Gun-Ho then sent a text to his sister .
[Sister, two families will meet this Saturday at the Japanese restaurant—Chuchiku—in 63 Building . The restaurant is on the 58th floor . Take your Sonata with mom and dad . I will give a ride to them on the way back to Incheon City . Thanks, sister . ]
Gun-Ho’s sister’s reply came in a bit later . She was probably busy at work .
[I just got your text . Of course, I will take our parents there this Saturday . Don’t worry about it . Congratulations, brother . You are finally getting married . ]
It had been a month since Gun-Ho started taking the course at Advanced Center for Administrative Development . One day, the students wanted to have dinner together .
The course was a one-year non-degree course that required attendance only twice per week . So, many of the students were there to make a connection or socialize rather than learning something .
“Hey, Mr . Class Manager, why don’t you collect 100,000 won from each of us for dinner today?”
The class president person just assigned a work to Gun-Ho, and Gun-Ho mumbled to himself .
‘Sh*t . I shouldn’t have accepted this position . I’m the owner-president who gives orders to others in my companies . Here, I get the order from someone . ’
After taking the list of students from TA, Gun-Ho walked around the class to collect 100,000 won from each student . The students in that class seemed to have no problem giving 100,000 won . Most of them produced two 50,000 won to Gun-Ho . A minister made a joke when Gun-Ho asked him to give the contribution for dinner .
“Mr . Minister, 100,000 won please . ”
“Do you take a credit card payment?”
Even though some people asked for an alternative payment method other than cash, they all had cash in their wallets . Gun-Ho went to a general who was in his 50s . He was the serious type .
“Mr . General, 100,000 won please . ”
“What? 100,000 won? Isn’t it too expensive for dinner?”
“I think the restaurant that we are going to is a famous one . ”
A minister suggested .
“Mr . Class Manager, why don’t you pick a restaurant and make a reservation for us?”
“Umm, I don’t know any restaurant in this area . ”
Gun-Ho walked to a student who had a wealthy father-in-law who had a conglomerate . That person was currently a minister in the government, so Gun-Ho just called him ‘Mr . Minister . ’
“Mr . Minister, do you, by any chance, know of any nice restaurant around this area?”
“Well, I don’t know . I know several decent restaurants in Gangnam District, but not this area . Why don’t you try the professors?”
Gun-Ho went to the office for professors, and a professor recommended a sushi restaurant around the Gwanak District’s government office with the restaurant phone number .
“But this restaurant is very pricey . ”
“We have lots of ministers in class . I don’t think they would care about the price . ”
“Well, you never know . Usually, ministers are frugal . A businessman like you, President Goo, spends money without thinking much . ”
“Why don’t you join us for dinner, Professor?”
“Sure, I will . ”
Gun-Ho made a reservation with the restaurant that the professor recommended . He also checked the location of the parking .
Gun-Ho went back to the class .
“We are going to Namhae Sushi Restaurant across the street from the Gwanak District’s government office . It’s on the second floor . You can park your car behind the Green Motel . There is a large parking lot there . ”
Someone reminded Gun-Ho of something .
“Mr . Class Manager, you will need to check the number of chauffeurs as well . ”
Gun-Ho yelled to the class, “Please raise your hand if you came with a chauffeur today . ”
There were twelve people with a chauffeur .
“I will reserve a hall for the chauffeurs . ”
“Our class manager is very good . ”
Gun-Ho was thinking that his life was about to become tiring .
