"Where are you living right now?"
"I am living in Ssangyong Town, Cheonan City, sir."
After reviewing the daily report, Gun-Ho went to the construction site in Asan City. There were three container offices placed at the entrance of the construction site. One was for Director Yoon, and one was shared by Mr. Adam Castler and Director Dong-Chan Kim. Also, the interpreter—Mr. Lee—was there too, so a small desk was added. The office was certainly not spacious; they were actually very small to be shared by three people. The other one was used by the construction workers for their break time. There was only one portable toilet for their use. The setting was very uncomfortable for all the people who were working there, but they didn't complain because their state-of-the-art factory was being built, and it was almost done. They were just hoping that the building would be built more quickly.
"How are you all?"
When Gun-Ho entered the construction site, Director Kim and the interpreter stood up and greeted him. Mr. Adam Castler stood up from his seat and shouted, "Good morning."
Gun-Ho looked at the interpreter and said,
"Can you ask Mr. Adam Castler if he is comfortable working here?"
After the interpreter asked Mr. Castler in English, Mr. Castler smiled broadly and said,
"No problem."
Director Yoon was at the construction site and ran to the container office when he heard that Gun-Ho was here.
"Sir, you are here?"
"How are you, Director Yoon?"
"The building is completed. We are working on the electric wires right now."
"Really?"
"Would you like to have a cup of coffee, sir? We do have a vending machine in the resting area."
"Haha. No, thank you. I've already had my morning coffee, but thank you for offering."
Gun-Ho entered the container office, which was being used by Director Yoon. There was a small round table that was probably good for three or four people, and it enabled them to have a meeting there. Director Dong-Chan Kim followed Gun-Ho to the container office.
"I guess we need to start preparing for the building dedication ceremony again."
"We can make it very similar to the building dedication ceremony we had for the factory in Jiksan Town. Will it be okay?"
"Sure. But this time we will have to invite all the officials from the local government in Asan City. You can ask the general affairs director—Director Choi—for it. This factory construction has drawn a lot of attention when it was mentioned in the local newspaper because of the assault incident nearby Onyang Hot Spring Hotel last time."
"Understood, sir."
"How is it going with hiring an employee for Dyeon Korea?"
"I have the two best candidates, and I haven't decided who I should select yet."
"Both candidates speak English well?"
"Yes, they do. Would you like to take a look at their resumes, sir?"
"No, it's okay. If you can't select only one person because you like them both, you can hire them all."
"Thank you, sir. That's a relief. I guess I will take them both."
Director Kim looked excited and smiled broadly.
When Gun-Ho came back to his office in Jiksan Town after visiting the construction site in Asan City, it was 11:30 am. Director Jong-Suk Park was hovering around Gun-Ho's office door.
"What's up?"
"This…"
"An early leave request for the day? What's wrong? Are you ill? Do you need to see a doctor?"
"My parents are here. I gotta go."
"Your parents? Here in Cheonan City?"
"Yes."
"Oh, really? For what occasion?"
"My parents will meet my girlfriend's parents today."
"Really? That's why you look so neat today. You had a new haircut, huh?"
"Haha. Right."
"Where are they going to meet?"
"Seungjiwon restaurant in Baekseok Town."
"Where are your parents right now?"
"They will arrive soon at the Express Bus Terminal. If I leave now, I can arrive there on time."
"Let's go together."
"With you, bro?"
"Yes. Your parents came all the way to Cheonan City. I want to see them."
"You don't have to, bro."
"I still remember your mom's warm and fantastic Seolleongtang (an ox bone soup). Let's go."
"Really… you don't have to do that."
"Just follow me with your car. I will drive before you. Let's meet at the waiting area in the bus terminal."
