Chapter 482 - Wood carving Exhibition in Yokohama City (1) – Part 1
Gun-Ho was conversing with the chief of police in Asan City in a restaurant.
“I want to thank you for coming to our building dedication ceremony when Dyeon Korea opened its business. So many people came to the ceremony, and I just didn’t have a chance to meet all of my guests.”
“That’s totally understandable. Having a joint venture company in our precinct is one of the most celebrating things to us. The company is contributing to the community by hiring people. I appreciate that.”
“Mr. Adam Castler, who is sitting next to me, must be happy today since the chief of police, who is in charge of the safety and security of the area, is paying attention to our company.”
The chief of police officer said to Mr. Adam Castler, “Have you ever felt discomfort or even a little concern about your safety while you are staying in Korea?”
“No, not at all.”
The chief of police gave his business card to everyone at the table including Mr. Adam Castler, Gun-Ho, Director Kim, and Mr. Interpreter Lee. And they gave their business cards to the chief of police and the head of the foreign affairs section of the police office, who came with the chief of police.
“We ran into each other at the funeral of Mr. Assistant Commissioner’s mother last month. How do you know Mr. Assistant Commissioner?”
“I’m taking a course with him at the Advanced Center for Administrative Development at Seoul National University.”
“Oh, I see. I actually used to work for him as a chief investigation officer when he was the chief of police. He is a good man.”
“Would you like to have beer? You know, a drink with a meal.”
“No, but thank you for asking though. I’m still on duty. Please feel comfortable to have a drink, President Goo, and Mr. Vice President.”
“This restaurant is nice. I like it here.”
“It is, right? We come here sometimes.”
The chief of police said to Gun-Ho while filling Gun-Ho’s empty glass with beer, “If you happen to witness any violent act in your factory, or if there is any reason that you are concerned about your foreigner vice president’s safety, just let me know. We will take care of it. That’s our job.”
As Mr. Interpreter Lee translated what the chief of police just said, to Mr. Adam Castler, Mr. Castler looked satisfied. He extended his hand to the chief of police for another handshake to show his appreciation.
“Please get back to the office quickly. President Goo is here.”
Assistant Manager Jeong and Secretary Oh came up to the office quickly.
“I’m so sorry, sir.”
“Please use your lunchtime to have fun at the 17th floor.”
Assistant Manager Jeong and Yeon-Soo Oh lowered their heads while standing in front of Gun-Ho.
“Can you bring me a cup of green tea and a newspaper?”
“Of course, sir.”
The two ladies started moving like an arrow. They brought a cup of green tea and a morning newspaper to Gun-Ho in no time.
Around 10 am, President Jeong-Sook Shin visited Gun-Ho’s office from her office downstairs.
“We placed an advertisement online for our costume play event and indicated that the event is hosted by GH Media. We stated that the winner of the event will be eligible to participate in another costume play event in Japan. That certainly drew people’s attention.”
“Did you indicate that the event will be held in Yeouido Island?”
“Actually, we changed the venue. I understand that we initially planned to hold the event at Yeouido Park, but it seems the place is too large, so it could easily make the participants get lost on the way. So, we changed the venue to SETEC at Hangnyeoul Station.
“Hangyeoul Station is close to my home at TowerPalace. It’s only two stops away. I will visit it.”
“The event will be held on Saturday and Sunday. Since it’s on weekends, I asked Assistant Ji-Young Jeong and Yeon-Soo Oh to help us with the event because we certainly need more hands. I will pay them of course.”
“Oh, that’s why they often spend time in your office downstairs.”
“Right. We were arranging the work for the event. I guess you, sir, reprimanded them for visiting our office on the 17th floor, huh? Hahaha.”
“I didn’t reprimand them; I just tell them to use their lunchtime to have fun in your office.”
