Chapter 758 - Dyeon India in Chennai, India (3) – Part 1
Secretary Yeon-Soo Oh entered Gun-Ho’s office, and she said, “Sir, Lymondell Dyeon’s Vice President Brandon Burke is on the phone right now. He wants to talk to you, sir.”
“Oh shoot, but I can’t speak English.”
Gun-Ho picked up the phone anyway.
“Hello? I’m Gun-Ho Goo.”
“How are you doing, Mr. President Goo? I’m Brandon Burke.”
“I’m fine, and you?”
“Interpreter, please.”
“Okay, sir.”
Gun-Ho handed his phone back to Secretary Yeon-Soo Oh. He could hear Yeon-Soo Oh saying yes and yes. Yeon-Soo Oh talked with Mr. Brandon Burke for quite a while. As she hung up the phone, she said, “Mr. Vice President Brandon Burke wanted to thank you, sir, for giving him a chance to work in Chennai, India. As he heard from Mr. Adam Castler, he understands that he will have the full authority in sales, finance, and human resource, and etc. for Dyeon India, and he truly appreciates it.”
“Hmm, I see.”
“Also, he wants to thank you for sending the Korean engineers in the compounding and maintenance field from Korea, not to mention the 50,000 dollars advanced payment. He said he wouldn’t disappoint you. He will ensure that Dyeon India grows to a large company as you well anticipate.”
“Hmm, really? Okay. Sounds good.”
Secretary Yeon-Soo Oh then gave a bow to Gun-Ho before leaving the office after picking up empty cups from the table.
One week passed by. It was the rainy season, and there was heavy rainfall almost every day.
Gun-Ho was looking out of the window from his office on the 18th floor in his building in Sinsa Town.
“It’s raining so heavily that it looks like a water bomb.”
“Hmm, that makes sense. It was extremely heavy rainfall. I wonder if the factories in Jiksan Town and Asan City are okay. Their retaining walls could be damaged by heavy rain like this. Well, they have a lot of engineers there who can handle the damage if there is one. I don’t think I need to check and instruct them on how to manage it.”
Gun-Ho made a call to his wife—Young-Eun.
“It’s me. Did you have lunch already?”
“No, not yet.”
“Do you want to have lunch with me today? I will buy you any food you want.”
“What’s wrong with you? You’ve never called me to offer me lunch before.”
“I just want you to have a break from staying home all day long taking care of our boy. You need to get some fresh air sometimes.”
“Well, it’s weird, but I will have lunch with you. Thanks.”
“So you have any specific restaurant that you want to have your lunch?”
“I want to eat meat. I’m having too much vegetables at home without meat.”
“Well, then where…”
“Meet me at Baekjaewon next to Yeoksam Station. I’ve been there once with my friends from college last year. It was good. The restaurant is in the Gangnam Finance Center.”
After getting off the phone with Young-Eun, Gun-Ho started getting ready to leave the office.
“Young-Eun and her friends seem to meet at an expensive restaurant since they are all medical doctors. It looks like that restaurant serves grilled beef sirloin. Its location is coincidentally close to the stock brokerage firm where I have an account with.”
Gun-Ho arrived at the restaurant—Baekjaewon. A moment later, Gun-Ho saw Young-Eun entering the restaurant holding their baby boy.
“Young-Eun, over here.”
“You came early.”
“Sang-Min, your daddy is here,” Gun-Ho greeted his boy.
The baby was busy looking around the new surroundings around him.
Young-Eun looked pretty that day, Gun-Ho thought. Her skin looked brighter and glowing. Her skin looked better than before she had the baby.
Gun-Ho ordered a full course menu with grilled beef sirloin for two people. Young-Eun looked at Chan-Ho Eom who was sitting at the table next to Gun-Ho’s, and she said, “Mr. Chan-Ho Eom, why don’t you sit with us?”
“It’s okay, ma’am. I have to eat quickly and leave. I parked the car on the street because I couldn’t find a place to park. I have to go to the car as soon as I finish eating my lunch. Don’t mind me, please, and enjoy your lunch.”
Young-Eun seemed to enjoy the grilled beef sirloin. She ate a lot, and Gun-Ho watched her eating in amusement.
“What are you looking at? I’m not eating all these just for me. I’m giving some of what I eat to Sang-Min by breastfeeding him. I’m eating for him.”
“Haha. Okay. Eat as much as you can.”
At that moment, someone lightly greeted Gun-Ho while passing his table. It was the branch manager of the stock brokerage company. The branch manager gave a slight nod to Gun-Ho and walked away with his party to another table. A moment later, Gun-Ho’s cell phone started ringing. It was the branch manager who was sitting at another table in the same restaurant.
“It’s me, sir, the branch manager of the Gangnam stock brokerage firm. You don’t have to say anything, but just listen, sir.”
“Okay.”
