Chapter 421 - Wedding (2) – Part 2
The restaurant always offered rice wine with any dishes that customers ordered. Gun-Ho and Director Kim slowly drank a glass of rice wine.
“I will be outside.”
Once Chan-Ho walked out of the restaurant, Gun-Ho said to Director Kim, “GH Mobile has nine candidates for promotion.”
“I heard of it.”
“One of them is the accounting manager—Ms. Min-Hwa Kim.”
“That is reasonable since she has been in the manager position for four years now.”
“The problem is that if I promote her to a director position in the accounting department, I will have to move the internal auditor to another department.”
“Of course. Since GH Mobile is not a large company, it’s redundant to have two directors in finance.”
The rice wine was dark in color. While sipping the wine, Gun-Ho continued to talk, “So, I was thinking to send the internal auditor to Dyeon Korea.”
“What? To Dyeon Korea?”
“Manager Myeong-Sook Jo is currently managing the accounting team in Dyeon Korea. Dyeon Korea is steadily growing now, and the accounting work would eventually become too much for her to handle by herself. Don’t get me wrong. I know that she is good, but she used to work as an assistant manager before she was reallocated to Dyeon Korea. She will probably need someone who has vast experience in the field to guide her, and Mr. Internal Auditor seems to be perfectly fit for the position.”
“That’s true. We are expanding our business to the Southeast Asia market, and the accounting work will be complicated accordingly like we will need to make consolidated financial statements. We also need someone who is knowledgeable about those countries’ accounting system. Well, I will just follow your decision, sir.”
“I will keep his position title—Internal Auditor. I don’t want to complicate the future promotion matter by changing his title to a director or managing director.”
“I got your point.”
“Please talk to Mr. Adam Castler about this. Just tell him that in Korea we must have an internal auditor in a company.”
“Yes, sir. I will tell him that we will have to pay a very high penalty if we don’t retain an internal auditor. Hahaha.”
“Hmm.”
“I understand the situation, sir. I will do my best in working for Dyeon Korea.”
Gun-Ho received a call from Director Kim.
“I talked to Mr. Adam Castler about bringing the internal auditor in Dyeon Korea. He said that they don’t get involved in personnel appointments or transfer matters in Korea. He pointed to the provision in the joint venture contract. It indicated that both parties will have to discuss when there is a change in the positions such as president and vice president.”
“I see.”
Gun-Ho asked for the general affairs director.
The general affairs director came to Gun-Ho’s office with his notebook.
“We will promote all of the nine candidates as of March 2nd as indicated in the promotion list. Manager Min-Hwa Kim will be promoted from a manager to a director of the accounting department. The internal auditor—Mr. Hee-Suk Goh—will be reallocated to Dyeon Korea as their internal auditor, again as of March 2nd.”
“Yes, sir. Thank you.”
The general affairs director gave a deep bow to Gun-Ho and left the office.
The general affairs director immediately made an announcement about the promotion decision and sent it to each department. The official announcement was also placed on the announcement board, which was made under the name of President Jang-Hwan Song. GH Mobile’s employees gathered in front of the announcement board.
“So, everyone who was supposed to be promoted received their promotion, huh?”
Manager Min-Hwa Kim opened the president’s office’s door and entered.
“Thank you, sir.”
“I thank you for your hard work, Director Kim.”
“I will do my best, sir.”
Ms. Min-Hwa Kim’s voice was shaking. Tears welled up in her eyes. She seemed to become emotional. She would enjoy a lot of benefits once she was promoted to a director position. Her salary would dramatically go up. A vehicle would be assigned to her along with an office with a new executive desk.
