Chapter 529: 529
Gun-Ho went back to his office . President Song was out of office; he was attending a meeting hosted by GH Mobile's new client home appliance manufacturing company for its vendors . Also, the accounting director was out to meet with the tax accountant . When Gun-Ho was sitting in his office by himself, Secretary Hee-Jeong Park came in and said, "Sir, GH Logistics' workers are here . "

"GH Logistics?"
Two people entered the office and gave a 90-degree bow to Gun-Ho . They were the GH Logistics' manager and accounting staff . They look, of course, familiar since he saw them whenever he visited GH Logistics .
"Oh, why are you all here?"
"We had an interview with Mr . General Affairs Director . "
"Oh, I see . So, are you two joining GH Mobile?"
"Yes, sir . Mr . General Affairs Director approved our job transfer here . We just need to prepare some paperwork . "
"That's very good to hear . "
"Mr . President Moon told us that we would be transferred to GH Mobile once he receives the rest of the sales proceeds of GH Logistics' property . "
"What position are you two assigned to?"
"I will be working as a team lead in the production site 1 . "
"I will work in the production site 2 with general office work . "
"That's good . I hope you two enjoy working with us here . "
Gun-Ho extended his hand for a handshake .
"I knew GH Mobile is a big company, but it's huge with so many workers here . I won't disappoint you, sir . I will do my best . "
The two people left the office after giving another 90-degree bow to Gun-Ho .
The brief meeting with the current GH Logistics' workers reminded Gun-Ho of his business in China . Gun-Ho made a call to President Runsheng Yan— the president of the intercity bus terminal in Antang City .

"Wei, Ni hao, Mr . President Yan?"
"Mr . President Goo? Hi . It has been a while since I talked with you last time . I was actually going to give you a call since July is almost over . "
"We are still working on finishing up things here . I think we can send our man there around the middle of next month . "
"Sounds good . Please do what suits your needs . By the way, you are sending Mr . President Moon here, right?"
"That's right . "
"I just want to know beforehand . I'm so glad that I will be working with someone I already know . "
It was August .
It had been five months already since Gun-Ho and Young-Eun married to each other, but there was no sign of a baby yet . Gun-Ho didn't really pay attention to having a baby since he had been so busy with his work . However, his parents were different .
"Gun-Ho, you have no good news for us yet?"
"No, mom . We will have a baby when the time comes . Don't worry about it, mom . "
It was not just his parents who seemed to be concerned about it . The students from Advanced Center for Administrative Development at Seoul National University asked Gun-Ho about it as well .
"Mr . Class Manager, it has been a while since we attended your wedding . Any good news yet?"
"No . It will happen when it's meant to happen . I'm not concerned . "
"You gotta do it right before dawn . "
"Huh? Do what?"
"You know, the thing that you have to do in order to have a baby . "

All the students around Gun-Ho laughed out loud .
After hearing that tip, Gun-Ho actually tried it right before dawn the next day .
Gun-Ho started groping Young-Eun who was still sleeping . When she barely woke up, Gun-Ho said to her, "I was told that we have to do it right before dawn!"
"That's a misbelief . Get your hands off me . I'm too sleepy for that . "
"We have to try . It has to be done right before dawn . "
"There is no scientific proof for it . It's just a BS . I'm a medical doctor . You can trust me on this . Those people, who told you that, know nothing about it . "
"Oh, it's almost dawn . Let's do it!"
"Oh my . You are pressing too hard against me!"
Gun-Ho received a call from Jae-Sik Moon . He stated that he received the middle payment of the sales price .
"How much did they send?"
"They sent me 2 billion won . "
"4 . 3 billion won more to go then . "
"That's correct since we received 200 million won when we signed the sales and purchase agreement . "
"Do you remember the loan from a local bank in Seonghwan City that we took out when we purchased the heavy equipment? It was 720 million won . "
"Of course, I remember that . "
"Let's pay off that loan first with the sales proceeds, so we don't have to pay for the interest any longer . "
"Okay, I will do that right away . "

"Also, make some time for me either today or tomorrow . I want to have soju with you . "
"Soju? All of a sudden? What's the occasion?"
"I just want to have time alone with you as friends before you leave for China, like old days . Let's have soju and pork belly . "
"Sounds great . Let's do that today then . Where do you want to meet?"
"I won't bring my car . I will take the subway . Since just two of us will meet, let's meet halfway like Suwon Station . What do you think?"
"Suwon Station? It's not far at all from where I am in Seonghwan City, but it's a bit far from where you are, President Goo . Let's meet at Jeongja Station in Bundang District instead . It takes only 30 minutes from that station to Dogok Station where your home in TowerPalace is located . "
"Sounds good . I will stop by home then to change into more comfortable clothes before I meet you . "
"I will leave at 4:30 from here . Since other workers are all here, I can leave a bit earlier than usual . I will see you there around 6 pm then . "
"Okay . See you soon . "
Gun-Ho and Jae-Sik Moon met at Jeongja Station .
"Once you start living in China, you will miss soju and pork belly . Let's have them as much as we can today . "
"Sounds good!"
The two men went to an old restaurant and started having soju along with pork belly dish . They made a wrap of pork belly with lettuce .
"This is very nice . I feel so good today . "
"I know . It feels good . I will definitely miss this once I go to China . Soju is my favorite liquor . It's the best . "
The two men finished the first bottle of soju . When they opened the second bottle of soju, Gun-Ho asked Jae-Sik, "Hey, I wanted to ask you this . Where is your father living now?"
"My dad? Gosh . My dad's life is so sad . I hated my dad when I was in high school . I thought that he was financially incompetent and that I had to suffer because of it . But now I think of it since I'm a grown man now . My dad must have a hard life, and I shouldn't blame him for it . "
"Is your father living in the countryside right now?"
"He is working in a hog farm in Hongcheon Town . I don't often talk about my dad, but for some reason, I'm talking about him today…"
"Your father is old . I guess it's time for him to retire and take a rest . "
"I think so, but my dad is a person with a bad credit score . He has to make a monthly payment for his debts to the court . "
"How much is it?"
"It's around 400,000 won . He must pay that amount on a monthly basis . "
"If he wants to pay the entire debt, how much would that be?"
"He visited me in Incheon City last month . He said at that time he still had 16 million won of debt left . "
Jae-Sik smiled bitterly and drank his soju .
"16 million won is not much . Let's pay it off for him . "
"It seems that he can't do that . He has to make a monthly payment as it was set in the beginning . "
"Hmm, I see . Actually, that makes sense . If he could pay it all at once, that shows that he has money to do so . And since he has money, the court might ask him to pay the amount forgiven earlier . "
"I really don't talk about my dad . I don't know why I'm talking about him today . Maybe it's liquor talking . "
"What about your mom? Is she still in Juan Town?"
"No, she couldn't even afford to keep that basement unit in Juan Town . She had to move to the area close to East Incheon Station . There is an old area in Hwapyeong Town, which would desperately need to be redeveloped . She leased a basement unit there, and she is living by herself . I'm sorry that you have to listen to my not-so-pleasant family stories . "
