"It's Gun-Ho Goo . "
"Yes, sir . "
"Do you have any plan for next Wednesday?"
"No, I have nothing special scheduled that day . "
"Then leave your afternoon schedule clear for this coming Wednesday . I know you've been busy lately, and this is your chance to release some stress and tension . Let's have a round of golf with me . "
"Where should I be?"
"Come to the Asiana Country Club in Yongin City by 2 pm . "
"Okay . Who else is coming?"
"There will be Dyeon Korea's Mr . Adam Castler and a friend of mine from Kim u0026 Jeong Law Firm, and you and me . "
"Okay, sir . I'm glad that Mr . Adam Castler would join us to play golf . He must be very lonely living in Korea without many friends . I have something to talk about to him anyway . "
"Oh, you do?"
"Your friend from Kim u0026 Jeong Law Firm, is he an attorney?"
"Yes, he is an attorney in the international business team . "

"Oh, that's very nice . I will see you on Wednesday then . It will be fun . "
Gun-Ho almost made a call to Mr . Adam Castler to invite him for golfing, and then he realized that he had to speak English with him .
"Shoot . I can't speak English . "
He then called for the secretary— Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh .
"Did you want to see me, sir?'
"Please have a seat here . "
"Yes, sir . "
Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh carefully sat on the sofa .
"You know Dyeon Korea's vice president— Mr . Adam Castler, right?"
"I've met him once during the board meeting . "
"I want you to interpret for me . Here is what I want to tell him . please write down what I say . "
Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh took out a pen and a paper .
"I'd like to invite you for a round of golf this Wednesday . Please come to Asiana Country Club on Wednesday by 2 pm . Your chauffeur must know how to get there . This is what I want to tell him . "
"Yes, sir . "

"I need to talk to him first to let him know that I'm the one who is calling him . So, I will make a call to him, and then I will let you talk . "
"Okay, sir . "
Gun-Ho dialed Mr . Adam Castler's office number .
"Hello?"
"Hello? I am Gun-Ho Goo . "
"Oh, hi, boss!"
"Just a moment . "
"Yes, sir!"
Gun-Ho handed his smartphone over to Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh . Yeon-Soo started speaking English . She was indeed fluent . Once she delivered the message to Mr . Adam Castler, she handed the phone back to Gun-Ho and said, "He said he would be there . "
"He did? That's good . Thank you . "
Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh then gave a bow to Gun-Ho and left the office . She didn't forget to retrieve empty cups from his table on the way out of his office .
When Gun-Ho arrived at home, there was a mail in the mailbox waiting for him .
"Is it for me?'

It was a newsletter from KOAF .
Gun-Ho read this newsletter after he lied down on the bed to sleep . There were several photographs of African children who looked sick . There was also a photo of a water pump . The description below the photo said that KOAF used their membership fees to build the water pump in Ghana . There was a short article written by Young-Eun as well with a small photo of her . She was smiling with a hat on in the picture .
[I can't forget the child's failing eyes, who was holding my hand . I couldn't save that child . All I could do for him was to give him a painkiller and to pray for him . That day, I regretted becoming a medical doctor for the first time in my life…]
"She is doing great work for society . The problem is that she doesn't come home often . "
Wednesday came around
Young-Jin Kim, Gun-Ho Goo, Adam Castler, and President Jang-Hwan Song gathered at the country club in Yongin City . Mr . Adam Castler seemed to be impressed by Young-Jin Kim's fluent English . So did President Song .
"This guy went to law school in the U . S . He does speak English very well . "
Young-Jin Kim laughed and looked at President Song, and said while indicating Gun-Ho, "This guy went to college in China . He does speak Chinese very well . "
President Song laughed out loud .
They started an 18 hole round of golf in the east course . Asiana Country Club had two courses— east and west . They only played the 18 hole in the east course . It was Team A of Young-Jin and Gun-Ho against Team B of President Song and Adam Castler . They played stroke play .
Gun-Ho was supposed to be the worst player among the four people, but that day Mr . Adam Castler made lots of mistakes in playing it . So, in the end, Young-Jin and Gun-Ho's team won . Young-Jin Kim was indeed excellent at playing golf . He was good enough to cover Gun-Ho's poor playing .
"I guess he played golf all day long when he was in the U . S . "
"Team B, please buy us a drink since you lost . "
Gun-Ho said to Mr . Adam Castler, "Let's pay with Dyeon Korea's business credit card . "
"What?"
When Adam Castler couldn't understand Gun-Ho's English, Young-Jin Kim interpreted it for him . Once he understood what Gun-Ho said, Adam Castler smiled broadly .
"Okay! No problem!"
The four men headed to a Korean restaurant that specialized in Galbi (Korean grilled beef ribs) . Young-Jin could drink as he pleased without worrying about driving a car since he came with Gun-Ho in his Bently which Chan-Ho Eum drove for them . Adam Castler also enjoyed drinking since he came with his chauffeur as well . President Song was the only one who had to drive back home, and he had only one small glass of soju .
"The Galbi is really good . "
Adam Castler seemed to like the food there a lot . He constantly said, "good . "
After everyone drank some liquor, President Song looked at Adam Castler, and said, "Mr . Castler, have you thought of having a subsidiary company in India? As far as I know, Dyeon Korea has the exclusive right to sell the products in the entire Asia market . "
"I think it's a bit early to expand our market further . Maybe we need to stabilize our current market first . "
"I beg to differ . I think it's a bit late even if you start developing a new market even now . Hyundai is already selling 500,000 cars to the Indian market . They have their factories in Delhi and Chennai . Additionally, more than 100 of their vendor companies are there as well . The market is growing quietly, getting bigger and bigger every day . I think you want to get into the market before it becomes too late . "
"Hyundai is selling that much in India?"
"The second largest market after China is India . That's why GH Mobile is currently considering expanding our market to India . "
"Hmm . Really?"
President Jang-Hwan Song sat closer to Mr . Adam Castler and continued to talk, "You don't have to build a factory from scratch like you did when you built Dyeon Korea . As a start, you can just open a company there just like Dingding's sales company in China . You can lease a premises to use as a factory if you need one, and then you can later build one once the market is well developed and need your own factory . "
