Chapter 283: Plant Manager— Director Jong-Suk Park (1) – Part 2

Gun-Ho took Jong-Suk who was bleeding from his forehead to his home. Jong-Suk’s parents were running a Seolleongtang (an ox bone soup) restaurant at the entrance of the town. When Jong-Suk entered the restaurant with his forehead bleeding, his parents were surprised.

“What is this? Who did this to you!?”

“I found him fighting with the kids from our neighbor town.”

“Who are they?! I will kick their as*es!”

Jong-Suk’s mother looked very upset.

“They are all gone already.”

Jong-Suk’s mother returned to Jong-Suk to check his wound.

“It’s not that serious, son. You don’t need any stitches. Let me get some ointment and I will take care of it. You will be fine.”

Jong-Suk’s mother went to the pharmacy across the street and bought some ointment and band-aids. After treating Jong-Suk with ointment and band-aids, Jong-Suk’s mother turned her head to Gun-Ho and thanked him.

“You are the boy from the house up there, right? Thank you for bringing my boy home.”

Gun-Ho was about to leave after giving a bow to Jong-Suk’s mother when she offered food.

“You haven’t eaten yet, right? Come here, boy. Let me get you a Seolleongtang.”

It was Gun-Ho’s first Seolleongtang ever in his entire life. It was so good. Gun-Ho ate it all in no time.

After the incident, Jong-Suk and Gun-Ho became best friends. Jong-Suk was very social and he liked Gun-Ho a lot. Jong-Suk followed Gun-Ho everywhere like a small puppy.

Gun-Ho received a phone call from Director Dong-Chan Kim who was in the factory in Asan City.

“Sir, I am calling to let you know something. I should have gone to Jiksan Town to talk to you in person, and I am sorry about it, sir.”

“No, no need to. As long as it’s not something urgent, you don’t have to come all the way to Jiksan Town just to talk to me. What is it that you want to talk to me about?”

“We are having a Dyeon Korea’s operating committee meeting the day after tomorrow. You know, the regular meeting that we have once a week.”

“Why don’t you have the meeting here in GH Mobile’s building? You don’t have a spacious office there yet.”

“Yes, we are actually planning to do that, sir. And for our next meeting, we’d like to invite those three workers who recently came back from the training in the U.S.”

“Sure. We can certainly arrange that.”

“I think we need to hear their experience at the training before we receive our equipment. So that we can be better prepared and hit the ground running.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“I will let the general affairs director know that you approved the meeting, sir. Thank you.”

After getting off the phone with Director Kim from Dyeon Korea, Gun-Ho received another phone call from Min-Hyeok Kim.

“Hi, Gun-Ho, I arrived in Korea yesterday. I am in Kookmin Bank right now, and I don’t think I can go to Jiksan Town before lunchtime.”

“Why not?”

“I need to get a document from the community service center. The bank people here are so particular that they refused to process the loan without full documentation in hand.”

“Why don’t you come to the office here early tomorrow morning then? We will have a meeting with the executives, and I want you to join us to the meeting. If you have something to ask, it’s a good opportunity to talk about it.”

“Sounds good. I heard Jong-Suk came back to Korea, didn’t he?”

“Yeah. He is here. You will see him tomorrow.”

“Okay. I will see you tomorrow then.”

Min-Hyeok Kim arrived at GH Mobile in the following morning around 8 am.

“Bro! Min-Hyeok bro!”

“Hey, Jong-Suk! Good to see you, man.”

“I came to pick you up. Gun-Ho bro sent me and he is very busy now.”

“Of course. A president of the company shouldn’t drive around just to pick up someone. I am very honored that Director Jong-Suk Park is here to pick me up. You look sophisticated, Jong-Suk. Is it because you stayed in the U.S. for long enough?”

“You look great yourself, bro. Is it because you are married?”

“Haha. Give me a hug. I am so happy to see you again, man.”

“Sure. Why not? Come here. Haha.”

Jong-Suk and Min-Hyeok arrived at GH Mobile in Jiksan Town. And they went upstairs straight to Gun-Ho’s office. Gun-Ho was talking with President Jang-Hwan Song.

“Hey, President Min-Hyeok Kim. It’s good to see you. You are right on time. This is President Jang-Hwan Song. He is our new co-president.”

“Hello, sir. Nice to meet you. I’m Min-Hyeok Kim. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Nice to meet you, too. I’m Jang-Hwan Song.”

After having a handshake, Min-Hyeok and President Song sat at the table.

Gun-Ho was about to say something when the general affairs director entered the office.

“Sir, we are ready to start the meeting. Everyone is in the meeting room waiting for you.”

“Really? Let’s go and join them in the meeting room.”

When Gun-Ho entered the meeting room, everyone in the room stood up from their seats, and they noticed Min-Hyeok Kim behind Gun-Ho.

“Hey, President Kim! When did you come to Korea?”

“Hello.”

“Are we going to have President Kim in our meeting from now on?”

“No. This is just a one-time thing. Since I am here today, Mr. President asked me to join you at the meeting. I’m so glad to see you all. You all look great.”

“Okay. Let’s have a seat.”

The table in this small meeting room was a long and square conference table which could accommodate more than twenty people. Gun-Ho sat in the middle, and on his right and left side, all the executive officers were sitting. During the last meeting, Gun-Ho asked President Song to sit next to him since he is the co-president, but he insisted on sitting on Gun-Ho’s left side and on the first seat. On the first seat of Gun-Ho’s right side, the internal auditor was sitting on. Jong-Suk and President Min-Hyeok Kim sat on the last seats of the right and left sides. Dyeon Korea’s director Kim and Director Yoon attended the meeting that day per Gun-Ho’s special request. Everyone in the meeting room was wearing a company uniform with an ID card hanging around their necks. They also all carried a notebook with the company logo on.

The general affairs director stood up.

“We now begin the GH Mobile’s executive meeting. We have today President Gun-Ho Goo, President Jang-Hwan Song, Internal Auditor Hee-Suk Goh, Dyeon Korea’s Director Dong-Chan Kim, Dyeon Korea’s Director Hee-Byeong Yoon, Chief Officer Joon-Soo at the research center, President Min-Hyeok Kim from China, Director Jong-Suk Park from the production department, and myself from the general affairs department. A total of 9 people are attending today’s meeting. We have a special guest from China, President Min-Hyeok Kim. Please welcome him with a round of applause.”

After the general affairs director mentioned Min-Hyeok, Min-Heyok stood up from his seat and bowed to everyone.

“Thank you.”

“Let’s start the meeting. We will start with the report on the production and sales, and then we will hear from the maintenance and support department. Today’s meeting will end after our president’s comment.”

Once the general affairs director sat on his chair, President Jang-Hwan Song started talking about the current status of GH Mobile’s sales.
