"President Goo? You are going to Byeong-Chul's wedding today, right?"
"Yes, I will be there . "
"Please make gift money of 50,000 won with my name . "
"Make it 100,000 won . You are a president who is running a company in China, man . "
"But, he is not like our business' vendor or customer, or anything like that . "
"That's okay . He is our friend . "
"And, I wanted to thank you for the dividend of 50 million won . It helped me a lot . I appreciate you for giving me the company shares . "
"You deserve it . I'm sorry that I couldn't give you more . "
"I paid the loan I took out when I purchased my parents' condo in Incheon City with that 50 million won . It reduced the amount of the interest I have to pay every month . That's a big relief for me . "
"Really? That's good to hear . "
"I actually aimed at making the net profits of 2 billion won, so I could receive 100 million won as my dividend . I couldn't make it this time, but I will try harder this year to achieve that goal . "
"Sounds good to me . That will help both of us . I will send a congratulatory flower wreath with your name to Byeong-Chul's wedding as well . "

"Oh, a congratulatory flower wreath? Thank you so much . "
"You don't have to thank me . You are the one who makes money for me . "
"I feel like I receive more from you than I make for you . "
Gun-Ho headed to Yeoui Island to attend Byeong-Chul's wedding . He arrived at the wedding being accompanied by Chan-Ho Eum, who was wearing a business suit .
"Oh, Gun-Ho, you are here . "
"Gun-Ho? Good to see you . "
Gun-Ho's friends from high school gathered around Gun-Ho instead of the groom—Byeong-Chul—even though it was his wedding day . They all wanted to get closer to Gun-Ho . Gun-Ho just stayed there with a smile on his face .
Gun-Ho slowly approached Byeong-Chul Hwang .
"Congratulations . "
"Thank you for coming . It means a lot to me . "
Byeong-Chul introduced Gun-Ho to his mother .
"Mom, this is President Goo . He is running a company . "
"Oh, really? Thank you for coming . "

Byeong-Chul's mother was wearing gold metal frame glasses . She extended her hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake . She was an old and small-framed lady now . Gun-Ho actually remembered her from the old days . She didn't let Gun-Ho play with Byeong-Chul when they were in school .
[Byeong-Chul is doing his homework right now . You go play with the other kids instead . ]
Byeong-Chul's parents were both teachers in a junior high school . Gun-Ho was fine when Byeong-Chul's mother told him that Byeong-Chul was busy doing his homework, but what he heard afterward hurt his feelings . She said to Byeong-Chul,
[I told you not to hang out with those poor kids . Those kids have no future . They are poor, and they don't study hard either . You are different from them . You have to succeed in your life by going to a good college . The boy, who just left, has a father who is working in a factory as a security guard, right? Why do you hang out with that kind of boy? You should be very selective with your friends . From now on, do not bring any friends except Won-Chul Jo or Suk-Ho Lee, understood?]
Byeong-Chul lived up to his parents' expectations . He was ranked first in the entire school, and he was the most favorite student among teachers . Whenever Gun-Ho fought with Byeong-Chul, teachers always took Byeong-Chul's side no matter why they were in a fight in the first place . They always made Gun-Ho look like a bad student .
Having a poor family was a disgrace, a serious disgrace in those days .
Gun-Ho looked around . There were several congratulatory flower wreaths . Some were from the groom's college alumni, and some were from the research center that he was working for . Also, his mother's friends sent one too . His mother had a big social network . There were a lot fewer flower wreaths than Gun-Ho's wedding . There were about ten of them .
Among those flower wreaths, three flower wreaths were proudly standing, which were from those three poor kids from Byeong-Chul's childhood: President Gun-Ho Goo of GH Mobile, President Min-Hyeok Kim of GH Parts Company in Suzhou City, China, and President Jae-Sik Moon of GH Logistics . However, none of those boys, who Byeong-Chul's mother allowed to play with his son, sent any congratulatory flower wreaths .
Gun-Ho left the lobby and entered the wedding hall because so many people wanted to talk with Gun-Ho while he was standing in the lobby . When the wedding finally began, Gun-Ho quietly walked out of the wedding after letting Jae-Sik Moon know that he would leave early .
Gun-Ho's sister called to let Gun-Ho know that she bought a Grandeur for their dad .
"Gun-Ho, we got a Grandeur . Dad and mom were so excited that they even danced around the car . You should have been here to see that . "
"Haha, really?"

"They go out every day"
"Where to?"
"Literally everywhere like Yeonan Pier and aunt's home . They even went to Sorae Pogu traditional fish market and bought some fish . "
"Really?"
"Guess what made them the most excited?"
"What's that?"
"They said, they won't feel small or embarrassed anymore when they go to TowerPalace to visit you in their Grandeur now . "
"Haha . That's good . "
"Dad doesn't go to Tapgol Park in Jongno 3-ga anymore . He instead regularly goes to the cultural center run by the district office with mom to take some classes . They became more educated and knowledgeable . "
"What about the land in Namchon Town?"
"They go there, of course . They took three bags of candy there the other day to share with the old villagers in the senior citizen's center . Do you know what people call our dad these days?"
"What do they call him?"
"They call him President Goo, like President Goo who is riding a Grandeur, to be more specific . The villagers in Namchon Town, especially those senior citizens call him like that . "
Gun-Ho was looking down the street from his office building in Sinsa Town when the thought of Mori Aikko struck him . He decided to visit Japan . Since Young-Eun came home to TowerPalace on Saturdays and Sundays, he had to choose the trip date during weekdays . While he was planning his trip to Japan, the secretary—Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh—brought a cup of tea to Gun-Ho and said, "Sir, someone is here to see you . "
"Who is it?"
It was the dandy entertainment manager from BM Entertainment . He gave a 90-degree bow to Gun-Ho as soon as he entered Gun-Ho's office .
"Hello, sir . I was in the area, and I remembered you said the other day in Cheongdam Town that I should stop by your office some time . So here I am . "
"Please have a seat . "
Gun-Ho asked Secretary Yeon-Soo Oh to bring one more cup of tea for his guest .
"Do you still often go to China or Japan these days, sir?"
The dandy manager asked with a smile in his eyes .
"I couldn't go on a trip there these days . "
"Did you have something to ask me, sir?"
"Let me ask you one thing . If I acquire a Chinese production company of soap operas, or if I start a joint venture with one of them, do you think it will be a lucrative business?"
