After Artist Hwang left, Gun-Ho came back to the class . The class president asked for Gun-Ho . The class president was an incumbent minister . His wife’s father was the president of D Group, and his wife was a major shareholder of D Group .
“Mr . Class Manager, I have something to discuss with you . ”
Gun-Ho quickly went to him .
“Do you see the person sitting in the first row with a lot of gray hair? He was recently promoted from a deputy minister to a minister . Let’s send him an orchid plant to congratulate him on his promotion with our class’ name . ”
“That’s a good idea . ”
“Do we have enough funds for it? We collected 100,000 won from each person for dinner last time . ”
“We still have 150,000 left from it . ”
“I think that should be enough to buy an orchid plant . ”
“I will get one for 50,000 won . ”
“Send him a 70,000 won one . ”
“Okay . Then we will be left with 80,000 won . ”
“Hmm, our class funds seem to be way too low . ”
“Do you want me to collect more from everyone again?”
“Nah . I will contribute more myself . ”
“You don’t have to bear it all by yourself . I will just ask everyone to contribute . ”
“Since I’m the president of this class, I will make a one-time special contribution for the class . ”
As he offered a special contribution, the class president took out his wallet and gave a check of 1 million won to Gun-Ho .
“Wow . This is too much . ”
“We will need that much . You will see . We will encounter all kinds of occasions like someone’s wedding, funeral, job promotion, and etc . that we will require us to spend money for . ”
Gun-Ho walked to the front facing the students and spoke to the class, “May I have your attention, please? I have announcements to make to you all . ”
Everyone looked at Gun-Ho .
“One of our classmates here was recently promoted from a deputy minister to a minister . It’s Mr . xxx Park . We will send him a congratulatory flower—an orchid plant as a group . ”
“Of course, we should . ”
“That’s nice . ”
People praised Gun-Ho for handling the occasion well and clapped . The minister, who would receive a congratulatory flower from the class, swept his grey hair up and thanked everyone .
“I have another announcement to make . The last time when we had dinner together, we collected 100,000 won from each of you . Now we have 80,000 won left from it, and our class funds were about to be depleted if it was not for our class president . Our class president made a special contribution to our class and offered 1 million won . Let’s give him a big round of applause to show our gratitude to him . ”
The students clapped loudly again . The class president nodded his head to the class while sitting on his chair .
“Just 1 million won? His father-in-law owns a conglomerate . 10 million won would sound more appropriate . ”
Other fellow ministers made a joke about the amount of the contribution that the class president made . They seemed to be close to each other like friends . They often talked to each other in an informal way .
“Next announcement is,”
“You have more?”
Everyone looked at Gun-Ho’s face again .
“As you received the wedding invitations last time, Mr . General in the back will have her daughter’s wedding this Saturday . Please go there and congratulate him . ”
The general quickly stood up and said, “I know that you all are busy . If you don’t have time or have a prior engagement, you don’t have to come . Also, I would appreciate it if you do not send any congratulatory wreaths to the wedding . ”
The general seemed to have something more to tell to the class, and when he tried to continue, the professor came in the classroom .
The Advanced Center for Administrative Development gave two classes in the evening, and each of them lasted 90 minutes . Gun-Ho could usually get off the class before 10 pm .
The class that day ended, and everyone was preparing to leave when Gun-Ho went to the class president .
“Mr . President, what do we want to do about sending a congratulatory wreath to the general’s daughter’s wedding? He said earlier that he didn’t want to receive any . ”
“Well, even though he said so, I think we should send one to him . ”
“Okay, sir . I will do that then . ”
Gun-Ho then took out his business card from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to the class president .
“This is my business card . If you need to ask me to do something, you have my contact . ”
The class president looked at Gun-Ho’s business card and said, “You have several businesses . ”
“They are all small companies . ”
“The address is Jiksan Town in Cheonan City?! I actually go there often . I have a friend there who is running a country club . ”
The class president gave his business card to Gun-Ho as well .
GH Mobile’s President Song had exchanged a few emails with an executive officer of Chrysler who he met in Chicago . He then gave a report to Gun-Ho saying that he received a product drawing from that Chrysler’s executive officer .
“This also requires double extrusion like our AM083 Assembly that we brought to the motor show in Chicago . ”
“It’s for internal combustion engine vehicles, is it?”
“Yes, it is . The order volume is not high, but it’s from Chrysler which is a global car manufacturer . This is a good opportunity for us to build up a business relationship with them . This will probably lead us to a bigger business opportunity later . ”
“Are we capable of producing what they are asking?”
“We have the product drawing, and they said they would send us a sample product . I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to make it . ”
“Oh, they would send us a sample product? That means they already have a mould, doesn’t it?”
“The vendor that used to supply those parts to them filed for bankruptcy, and the mould is lost . ”
“Hmm, then it’s not a newly developed product . I guess it’s hard to expect to see an increase of the product order then . ”
“Still, it’s worth taking the order from them . Our company will be registered as a vendor company for Chrysler . It will tremendously help our marketing effort . ”
“Okay . Let’s do that . ”
Gun-Ho went to Dyeon Korea . He hadn’t been to the company for a while now .
The former GH Mobile’s internal auditor already started working for Dyeon Korea . When Gun-Ho arrived at Dyeon Korea, the internal auditor greeted him with pleasure .
“How’s it? Are you comfortable here?”
“Yes, sir . I like it here . The work environment is pleasant, and the workload is moderate . Since I once worked with Ms . Jo in the accounting team before, it’s very comfortable to work with her again . ”
“I’m happy to hear that . ”
“I talked with Director Yoon earlier . The company now has ten machines, and we are in the process of requesting machines no . 11 and no . 12 . Also, we are planning to hire more workers in the production team . ”
“Hmm, really?”
“Also, we are now seeing a dramatic increase in product orders from China . The president of the sales company in China seems to speak English . She directly talks with Mr . Adam Castler . ”
“Of course . She used to teach English in an international school in Shanghai . ”
“She is President Min-Hyeok Kim’s spouse, isn’t she?”
“Yes, she is . ”
