Chapter 353: Strategic Change (2) – Part 2
President Jeong-Sook Shin smiled at Gun-Ho’s comment.
“We need to read a trend in a book publishing business. Once a book gains its popularity, people started buying it blindly. Many people don’t want to be excluded from a conversation with a group of people. So they want to read popular books so they could participate in a conversation.”
“Hmm. I hope everything turns out good as we expect.”
“Once the French artist—Ms. Marion Kinsky’s art exhibition becomes successful or the Japanese book—The person who wakes up in the morning becomes a bestseller book, I will consider moving GH Media’s office to the GH Building.”
“Sounds good. Thank you for your great work today.”
Right after President Jeong-Sook Shin walked out of Gun-Ho’s office, Gun-Ho sent a text message to Seol-Bing.
[Thank you for coming to the Chinese young avant-garde artists’ art exhibition last time. Our art gallery is planning to host another art exhibition. A French artist—the master of color aesthetics –Ms. Marion Kinsky’s artworks will be displayed in our art gallery if everything goes smoothly.]
Seol-Bing replied.
[I think you are a very knowledgeable man, oppa in a wide range of fields.]
Gun-Ho sent another text message to Seol-Bing.
[Please visit our art gallery once again to enjoy Ms. Marion Kinsky’s artworks. French art will give you different pleasure and inspiration from Chinese art.]
Seol-Bing texted,
[I’m afraid that someone might take a picture of me again without my knowledge if I go to your art gallery.]
Gun-Ho replied,
[I don’t think it will happen again. I will let you know once the date of the exhibition is scheduled.]
→ [hhh. You are a good employer.]
→ [I want to see you. I can’t help thinking of you.]
→ [Go sleep. I have a photoshoot tonight.]
Gun-Ho concluded his chat with Seol-Bing by sending her an emoticon with a sleeping face.
When Jong-Suk came back from the honeymoon, he seemed to become a different person. He went straight home after work and he didn’t drink much. He worked harder too.
“That’s good for him.”
Gun-Ho perceived this change as one of the courses that Jong-Suk was going through in his life as he became mature.
One day, Gun-Ho asked Jong-Suk Park to stay in his office after finishing the regular meeting with GH Mobile’s executive officers.
“Hey, Jong-Suk. You act differently these days. What’s up?”
“I don’t think so. I feel the same.”
“You look better. Your complexion is even brighter.”
“Hahaha. Maybe.”
“You like your bride that much, huh?”
“Bro, let’s talk about it after you get married too. I can’t explain with words.”
Jong-Suk purchased a Purgio condo nearby the Dujeong subway station to start his family. His parents helped him financially but Gun-Ho was proud of Jong-Suk that he purchased the condo without a loan from a bank but used his money from his savings account.
Gun-Ho bought a new car for Jong-Suk with GH Mobile’s name. It was Gun-Ho’s wedding gift to Jong-Suk. Jong-Suk was making more than 100 million won yearly since his position was a director level. Gun-Ho’s high school friends—Won-Chul Jo who was a manager in a large company and Byeong-Chul Hwang who worked as a researcher in a research center in Pangyo— weren’t making more than Jong-Suk.
Moreover, Jong-Suk’s parents and his parents-in-law had their own condo. They were not rich but they had enough money to have a comfortable life. Additionally, Jong-Suk and his bride were both the only child to their own parents, so they would inherit whatever their parents owned, all to themselves. Once they had a baby, the two parents would probably fight over who would spend more time with their grandchild.
‘Jong-Suk, I want you to have lots of children, maybe three of them. That’s the best way you make your parents happy. I feel so lucky that I have you on my side at my company.’
