Jong-Suk said to Gun-Ho, "Oh, you know what? An executive officer from their purchasing department and a manager want to visit GH Machines in the near future. I'd better start cleaning and organizing our factory, getting ready for their visit."
"I guess you will be very busy."
"I am. It's actually driving me crazy. I have too much work to do, and I feel like I don't have enough time to do it all. I have to make an adjustment on the production cost for Isehara Machines, and I have to prepare to obtain the certificate— TS 16949. Also, I have to oversee the production in GH Machines, listen to my workers to see if they have any complaints about the work environment, check our company's loss and profit and approve the relevant documents, do sales work and things like that. I am extremely busy these days."
"Hmm, yeah, it sounds like you have a very tiring life now."
"Looking back at my life, I had a happy life when I worked at GH Mobile. Now I totally understand what kind of distresses President Song has been going through. I used to talk badly about him behind his back, but now I realize what I had seen before was not all."
"Haha. I guess that you are experiencing growing pains. Just hang in there, you will have a good outcome soon."
"Sometimes, I want to run away from all of these. I feel like who cares about being the president of a company."
"Don't be silly. By the way, how did Assistant Manager Seo's little brother do during the trip? Was he helpful?"
"It was a good decision to bring him with me to Japan. He is very social, and he seemed to easily get close to one of the staff at Isehara Machines' trading department. Since they both work in the trading area, they speak English, and it seems they hit it off as well. I think that our Manager Seo will be able to directly deal with Isehara Machines' trading department in shipping our products. They won't have any problems talking through the phone."
"You gave him the position of manager?"
"Yeah. I couldn't introduce him to the people in Japan as just staff of our company, so I appointed him as a manager in our trading team. I already printed out his business card accordingly. I'm paying him the wage to the level of a staff member, but his job title is a manager."
"Hmm, I see."
"The people in Isehara Machines commented that our company's business cards look pretty. I guess that GH Media's design team lead did a great job in making our business cards."
"Okay. Well, you are probably very tired from the trip to Japan. You should go home early today and take a deep rest."
"Thank you, bro."
As he got off the phone with Jong-Suk, Gun-Ho chuckled.
'I can see Jong-Suk is suffering as he runs his own business. He will be fine. He just needs to keep on going like that for a year. '
At that moment, Gun-Ho received a call from Jong-Suk Park again.
"Bro, I forgot to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"When I was having a meeting with the executive officer in Isehara Machines' purchasing department, its president stopped by the meeting room to greet me. He then gave an instruction to that executive officer."
"What instruction?"
"He told the executive officer at their purchasing department that he should meet with President Gun-Ho Goo when he visits GH Machines in Korea."
"Meet with me? How does Isehara Machines' president know my name?"
"I guess that Miura Machines' president told him about you."
"How old do you think is Isehara Machines' president?"
"I think he is in his 70s at least. He has some dark spots on his face. I was told that he is the owner president of that company."
"Hmm, really?"
"Their plant manager, who Mr. Sakata Ikuzo knows well, seems to be in his 60s as well."
"Oh, how is Mr. Sakata Ikuzo doing? Is he well?"
"He looked healthy. He asked me to say hello to you for him."
"I see. I appreciate his effort to help us deal with the Isehara Machines."
"I gave a present to Mr. Sakata Ikuzo; you know the ceramic vase. He liked it a lot."
"Is that right? That's good."
Gun-Ho's Bentley arrived at GH Building in Sinsa Town. Gun-Ho looked at his watch.
"Chan-Ho, it's almost 5 pm. Let's just go home for the day."
"Yes, sir."
On the way home in his car, Gun-Ho received a text message from SH Investment Partners' President Geun-Soo Son. It was the daily report.
[Purchased 34, 800 shares at 5, 620. We are now holding 214, 000 shares. ]
Gun-Ho replied to him right away.
[Well done. ]
Gun-Ho took a rest at home on Saturday and Sunday. He spent time with his boy— Sang-Min during the whole weekend. Sang-Min was almost 9 months old. He crawled on the floor. He could say the words— mom and dad. He grabbed whatever he could reach, and put them in his mouth if he could.
Gun-Ho played with him under the comforter or under the bed playing hide-and-seek.
On Sunday, Young-Eun's aunt came to Gun-Ho's home to visit them.
"Oh, my goodness. Sang-Min grew up a lot. Sang-Min, let me hug you. Come here, boy."
Sang-Min started crying. It seemed that he recognized Young-Eun's aunt as a stranger. Young-Eun laughed and said, "Auntie, Sang-Min is a shy boy. He only knows his mom, dad, and our helper lady. Everyone else is a stranger to him for now."
Gun-Ho added with a smile, "Haha. Sang-Min doesn't know his little grandma yet. He doesn't seem to recognize her."
Young-Eun's aunt screamed, "What did you say? A little grandma? Oh, my gosh. Am I a grandma already?!"
Young-Eun laughed.
"Auntie, you are a grandma to Sang-Min."
"You're right. I am a grandma to him, but I don't know. I don't feel like a grandma yet. I'm not even married yet."
"It doesn't matter. Regardless of your marital status, you are a grandma to him."
"Stop saying that. I feel hungry. Let me get some food."
Gun-Ho laughed out loud as Young-Eun's aunt seemed to be sensitive about her being a grandmother.
It was Monday.
Gun-Ho didn't go to work in GH Mobile in Jiksan Town nor Dyeon Korea in Asan City. He, instead, went to GH Building in Sinsa Town to work.
When he was enjoying his morning tea while reading an economic newspaper, Director Kang entered the office with a smile.
"Sir, I was wondering who were those people who came to visit our office last time."
"Who are you talking about?"
"You know, two people visited our office last week, one lady and one man. I think I recognized the lady. She once visited our office when we were running a business with OneRoomTels. I believe that she used to sell fire insurance. But, I have no idea who the man is."
"Oh, them. I'm running an investment company, and they are working for me. That man used to work in a bank before, just like you, Mr. Director Kang."
"Is that right? Which bank was it, sir?"
"He used to work for Gangnam Bank."
"Oh, I see."
After Director Kang left the office, Gun-Ho received a call from Director Woon-Hak Sim in China.
"It's Woon-Hak Sim, sir. The media here covered our movie preview that we had last Friday, as expected. It certainly drew a lot of public attention."
"Is that right?"
"Mori Aikko looked gorgeous in the photo on newspapers. They referred to her as a fairy from Japan."
"A fairy? Haha."
"Mori Aikko seemed to draw more attention than Lia— you know the Korean actress who we worked with before."
"Is that right?"
"Chinese people are usually not very favorable toward Japanese people, but many of them like Japan individually. Those people are big fans of Japanese products such as their vehicles, home appliances, actors and actresses, etc. Even though they seem to boycott Japanese products all the time, a lot of Japanese vehicles are often seen on the roads in China."
"That's true."
"When you have time, sir, please check Chinese web portals. There is a video clip recorded during the movie preview."
"What video clip are you talking about?"
"You remember that Mori Aikko did a short dance performance during the movie preview, don't you? Her dance video clip has been uploaded to Chinese web portals."
"Really?"
