Chapter 190 - World-Renowned Engineer (3) – PART 1
Gun-Ho was reading an economic newspaper in his office when he received a call from Jae-Sik Moon.
“What’s up?”
“I have something I want to talk to you about.”
“Why are you calling? You could just come to my office to see me.”
“I didn’t want others to see me—a security guard—to enter the president’s office. That could look inappropriate to other workers. So, I decided to give you a call instead.”
“You don’t have to worry about that kind of thing. So, what’s up?”
“The high school alumni directory book is almost completed. I’ve already done proofreading and editing. The design for the cover is finished as well. It’s ready to be printed out.”
“Okay, that’s good.”
“I want to show it before I print it out.”
“Haha. I don’t have to see it. Just have a printing service company print it out. I am busy with my own work.”
“I received the fund for the alumni directory book, which you sent to me. I will give you a report on the expenses’ details later. I also received the amount of 30 million won that you sent me for me to pay off my debt. I did pay off all of my debt with that money.”
“That’s good.”
“I will set aside 500,000 won from my monthly salary and send it to your bank account that you gave me the other, every month.”
“Sounds good.”
“I am no longer a person with a bad credit score. I can freely get a service from a bank, and I don’t have to worry about my salary being seized anymore.”
“That’s good, but will you be okay with your current salary? You won’t have much left once you send me 500,000 won from your monthly salary.”
“Yushoku no junbi ga dekimashita (dinner is ready).”
“I think she is saying the dinner is ready. Nice. Idesu (good).”
Gun-Ho went to the dining table while smiling.
On the table, there was warm cooked rice, a piece of fish, Kimchi, dried seaweed, Miso soup, etc. It seemed that Mori Aikko cooked them all by herself. She also didn’t forget to prepare sake.
“O meshiagari Kudasai (Please eat.)”
Gun-Ho felt happy. Mori Aikko seemed to feel the same way; she often looked at Gun-Ho and smiled.
After dinner, Gun-Ho and Mori Aikko watched TV in the living room while having some fruit. They talked a lot using the mixed languages of English, Japanese and Korean for a while before they both fell asleep on the sofa. Gun-Ho woke up a moment later and looked at Mori Aikko who was sleeping next to him; she looked happy. When Gun-Ho kissed her cheek, Mori Aikko opened her eyes.
“Come here.”
Gun-Ho pulled her close to him and Mori Aikko completely came into Gun-Ho’s arms. Gun-Ho could feel her warm body temperature.
“I don’t want to go back to Korea. I want to stay here with her forever.”
Gun-Ho turned off the light and hugged her tight.
When Gun-Ho returned to Korea, Mr. Sakata Ikuzo who used to be the best engineer in Dyeon already entered the second phase of the product development. He was kneeling in front of the extruding machine; he already took a bath and shaved neatly, and he pulled his hair back in a ponytail. He surely looked resolute and determined.
“What the he*l is he doing?”
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo looked certainly strange to Jong-Suk.
“What the fu*k is he doing while kneeling in front of a machine? I just don’t understand many Japanese people who act really strange.”
However, Jong-Suk didn’t laugh at Mr. Sakata Ikuzo’s behavior. His eyes looked so serious and determined.
