Chapter 370 - Joint Venture’s Board Meeting (2) – Part 1
GH Media’s President Jeong-Soon Shin stopped by Gun-Ho’s office before leaving for the airport for her trip to Japan. She was with a man who looked like he was about three or four years older than Gun-Ho. His hairstyle was too liberal to be an office worker; he had a ponytail.
“I’m leaving for Japan today, sir. I came with our new chief editor of GH Media to introduce him to you.”
“Oh, really?”
Gun-Ho stood up from his seat and offered his hand to the man for a handshake.
“He joined our team after Chief Editor Jae-Sik Moon left our company. He had been working as a chief editor in a magazine publishing company for a long time. He is also an award-winning author. He has published several published books of his own.”
“I’m Cheon-Young Pi. It’s a pleasure meeting you, sir.”
The man introduced himself to Gun-Ho.
His last name—Pi was not a very common name in Korea. His last name reminded Gun-Ho of the famous essayist—Chun-Deuk Pi. Gun-Ho had a silly thought for a second that maybe people with the last name of Pi were all good writers.
“Please have a seat.”
“Thank you, sir, but we have to leave now. I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to worry about GH Media during my absence. The team leads—Ms. Min-Sook Oh and our new chief editor—Mr. Pi will take care of the business just fine.”
“Oh, you have to leave now? Maybe we should have some tea or something together next time.”
“I believe Ms. Jeong-Soon Choi and Mr. Yoshitake Matsuda will be waiting for me at Gimpo International Airport. After finishing her art exhibition in Japan, Jeong-Soon Choi wants to invite you to her house in Yangpyeong County. She will cook cold noodles in soybean soup for you.”
“Haha. It will be very nice.”
Gun-Ho headed to his factory in Jiksan Town with his secretary—Ms. Yeon-Soo Oh who could speak English fluently. The Dyeon Korea’s board meeting was scheduled in the afternoon that day, so he wanted to stop by GH Mobile in Jiksan Town before heading to Dyeon Korea.
When Gun-Ho’s Bentley arrived at the front gate of GH Mobile, the security guard opened the gate right away after raising his hand for a salute.
When Gun-Ho and the secretary got off the car at the building’s entrance, several workers who were passing by the area greeted Gun-Ho. They also glanced at the young lady who got off the car with their president. They didn’t know that she was his secretary in one of his companies.
“Oh, oh. You are the Ms. Secretary in Seoul. I guess you came here because of the board meeting.”
Gun-Ho said while smiling, “You two know each other very well?”
“Of course. When Vice President Adam Castler came to join Dyeon Korea for the first time, I met her in Dyeon Korea.”
“How are you doing these days?”
“I’m doing fine.”
“How’s your wife doing? Is she happy with her work?”
“She will take a leave from her work soon. She is having a baby.”
“What? Is she pregnant? Wow. Congratulations. I hope your baby would look after your wife, not you. It has to be.”
Ms. Yeon-Soo Oh laughed.
“I’ve heard that you are close with Manager Seo. Is it true?”
Manager Seo worked as an assistant manager in the general affairs team and he was then promoted to the sales team’s manager. He used to work with Director Kim, but since Director Kim moved to Dyeon Korea, now he was working with President Song.
“Yeah. His position is lower than mine, but since he is the same as age you, bro, I call him big brother just like I do to you. He likes that a lot. When he was promoted to a manager position, he bought me a drink. He thinks that I contributed to his promotion for some reason. I actually haven’t said a word to you, that would affect his promotion.”
