After Mr . Adam Castler left Gun-Ho’s office, Director Kim came into the office .

“Did those journalists leave already?”

“Yes, sir . We will put an advertisement in a plastic magazine with color pictures . I personally know the owner of that magazine publisher, and he suggested that he would place our advertisement in his magazine for half price . ”

“Hmm, really?”

“I have something I’d like to discuss with you, sir . It’s a personal matter . ”

“What is it?”

“Do you remember my nephew who interpreted for us when we went on a business trip to Japan?”

“Oh, the international student in Japan?”

“Yes . He finally graduated from college in Japan and came back to Korea . The thing is that he is having a hard time finding a job, maybe because he is a bit older than other college graduates in the job market . If it’s okay, I want him to work with us at Dyeon Korea . We can place him in the general affairs department . ”

“He doesn’t have any work experience in a general affairs field, does he?”

“No, he doesn’t, but since we have the general affairs manager, I think he can learn from him as he works . Our general affairs manager is currently overloaded with too much work . As we hired more workers at the production site, his workload in handling their work records and wages increased accordingly . He can’t even make time to perform other work outside the office . ”

“Bring him to the office . ”

“He is actually here right now . Would you like to see him?”

“Really? Well, since it’s about a non-executive officer position, you can hire him without my approval . ”

“The thing is that since he is related to me, I don’t want to create any misunderstanding by hiring him without your permission, sir . ”

“Okay . Let me talk to him then . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

After Director Kim left the office to bring his nephew in, Gun-Ho thought .

‘Dyeon Korea doesn’t do any business with Japan yet, but it would be nice to have someone who can speak Japanese . ’

A man who looked like he was in his mid-30s entered Gun-Ho’s office . He was wearing thick glasses .

“Hmm, I remember you . Please have a seat . ”

The man sat on a chair carefully .

Gun-Ho asked for the general affairs manager through the interphone, and the manager came to Gun-Ho’s office after a moment .

“Mr . General Affairs Manager, I’ve heard that you have been overloaded with work . ”

“Oh, umm, yes, sir, a bit…”

“This man here will help you with the work . He doesn’t have work experience and will need your guidance . You can let him handle the production workers’ wage calculation first . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

It was the day when the two families would meet for the first time .

Since it was Saturday, Gun-Ho didn’t want to ask Chan-Ho to drive for him . Instead, Gun-Ho drove his Land Rover by himself . Gun-Ho arrived at the restaurant a bit earlier and waited for others .

“Hi, I made a reservation for GH . ”

When Gun-Ho was waiting for others at a room, his parents and sister arrived first .

“Oh, my goodness . This restaurant is so nice . ”

Gun-Ho’s mother and father were busy looking around the restaurant .

Gun-Ho’s sister said while giving him V-sign, “Okay, Gun-Ho, I’ve fulfilled my duty to bring our parents safely here in time . I’m leaving now . Good luck . ”

“Thank you, sister . ”

“Gun-Ho, the food here must be very expensive . Maybe, 100,000 won per person? I’ve never been to a luxurious restaurant like this before . ”

Gun-Ho’s father said as he sat at the table .

“So, the bride’s father used to be a teacher, right?”

“Yes . ”

Gun-Ho’s mother said to her husband, “Please be careful not to make any mistake . And don’t forget to keep a smile on your face . ”

“You are the one who should take extra caution not to make any mistake . Don’t talk too much, that’s the only effective way to prevent it . People who talk too much can’t avoid making a mistake while talking . ”

“Shush . Someone is coming . ”

Gun-Ho stood up and walked out of the room .

Young-Eun was there with her father .

“Hello, sir . ”

Gun-Ho gave a deep bow to Young-Eun’s father .

“I hope we didn’t come late . ”

Young-Eun’s father extended his hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake .

Gun-Ho looked at Young-Eun . She was wearing light makeup with a hat . She looked really gorgeous that day . A small touch to the makeup and clothes made her look real pretty .

“Are they here already?”

“Yes, they are here in the room . ”

As Young-Eun and her father entered the room, Gun-Ho’s parents quickly stood up from their seats . Gun-Ho’s mother seemed nervous and she dropped her handkerchief as she jumped out of her chair .

“These are my father and mother . ”

Gun-Ho’s parents gave a deep bow to Young-Eun’s father and so did Young-Eun’s father . It seemed that Young-Eun’s father hadn’t been to a luxurious restaurant like this before as Gun-Ho’s parents . They all looked uncomfortable and unnatural . They didn’t seem to easily blend in with the restaurant’s atmosphere . But Gun-Ho and Young-Eun looked fine . They looked sophisticated and classy .

Young-Eun’s father talked first .

“I came alone today because Young-Eun’s mother couldn’t be here with me . ”

“We’ve heard of it . ”

Gun-Ho’s parents kept glancing at Young-Eun because she looked different that day . Young-Eun looked particularly pretty in the luxurious place .

“We are so happy that Young-Eun would become our family . You raised your daughter so well . ”

Gun-Ho wondered how come his father was talking fine . Gun-Ho asked for a waitress and ordered some food .

“We will have full-course meals with wine instead of sake . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

Gun-Ho then let both parents know what to expect,

“I just ordered a course meal for us . The food will come out one by one, so please take your time . ”

Gun-Ho looked at his mother’s face . She was having a mild smile on her face .

Young-Eun’s father said, “Young-Eun’s mother passed away when Young-Eun was in high school . So, Young-Eun didn’t have a chance to learn how to do house chores . I hope you understand . ”

Gun-Ho’s mother responded, “She came to our home the other day . She had a good manner, and we thought she was very well raised and she must have great parents . ”

Gun-Ho’s mother sounded fine which was not what Gun-Ho expected . Gun-Ho thought, ‘Mom, you are doing great . ’

Gun-Ho filled up glasses with red wine and handed them to his parents .

It was not very comfortable but the meeting was fine .

Gun-Ho asked Young-Eun as they walked out of the room, “Did you bring your car?”

Young-Eun nodded her head and said, “My father drove . ”

“I see . If you don’t have any plans tomorrow, I’d like to see you at Starbucks in Daehakro maybe around noon . I need to discuss something with you . ”

Gun-Ho took his parents to their home in Guweol Town with his Land Rover .

Gun-Ho’s mother loudly said, “Ha! Your aunt’s daughter-in-law can’t even be compared with mine . My daughter-in-law is so pretty and smart . She graduated from a top university— Seoul National University . She is a medical doctor with good manners . You know what? People from my old workplace— the nursing home— and from the church are so surprised that I will have a doctor daughter-in-law . ”

Gun-Ho’s father added, “Gun-Ho is so lucky . His father-in-law is a very well mannered person, maybe because he used to be a teacher . He seems to be a great man . ”

“Gun-Ho, how did we do today? Did we make any mistake during the meeting with Young-Eun’s father?”

“You both were great . ”

“Did you pick your wedding date?”

“Yes . It’s on March 18 . I will have to find a wedding hall though . I might have to change the wedding date depending on the availability of the venue . I will let you know when everything is confirmed . ”

“You said her father is living in Sillim Town, right? Then which wedding hall would be convenient for both families? We will have guests from Incheon City . What about somewhere around Noyrangjin Town or Daebang Town? There is Yuan Wedding Hall in Daebang Town . ”

Gun-Ho didn’t say anything in response to his mother’s suggestion .
