"Oh, I see, I see. Then the value of the company share will go up dramatically. The people in Dyeon America must have already calculated that possibility. They must be very smart."
"Director Kim, did you use an expensive shampoo this morning in washing your hair? Your brain seems to work great today."
"All the necessary furniture and stuff will arrive this afternoon. Until then, This is not a good place to stay, sir. Why don't you take a rest at the office in Jiksan Town?"
"You did a good job today, Director Kim."
"I don't think I did a lot of work, but thank you, sir."
"Well, why don't we have lunch altogether? Let's meet at Onyang Hot Spring Hotel for lunch. Come with Mr. Adam Castler and Mr. Interpreter Lee to the hotel. I will meet you there."
"It's only 11 am now. Are you going to stop by the office in Jiksan Town before lunch?"
"No. I will take President Jeong-Sook Shin to the train station before heading to Onyang Hot Spring Hotel. She is having a tour of the factory right now."
"She could join us for lunch."
"She told me earlier that she wanted to go back to Seoul before lunch. I will ask her again."
"Maybe we can have lunch early. We will have to come back here once the furniture and stuff arrive this afternoon anyway."
"Sounds good. Then, let's meet at the hotel around 11:50 am."
President Jeong-Sook Shin said she would just go to KTX station without having lunch, but Gun-Ho insisted strongly and took her to Onyang Hot Spring Hotel for lunch. They decided to stay at the café inside the hotel while waiting for the other party.
"You have something urgent you need to attend to in Seoul?"
"No, not really. I just didn't want to impose. I feel bad, especially our small company—GH Media—isn't generating much money yet, and I know you are so busy and occupied in running a huge company here."
"Don't say that. A company starts small, and they grow big later. We usually don't start a business on a large scale right away."
"At the ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier today, I was thinking if I'm actually qualified to attend the ceremony like that. There were government officials and politicians."
"That's a silly thing to say. Just have lunch with us before going back to Seoul. I insist. I will be very happy if you join us for lunch. Director Kim and Mr. Adam Castler will be here soon. You remember the interpreter—Mr. Lee? You are the one who introduced him to me. He will be here too."
"They are all from Dyeon Korea. I don't want to interrupt you in doing your business."
"No no. Oh, you know what? I talked to Seukang Li earlier about your suggestion on Mr. Ding Feng's art exhibition in Korea. He was very interested in it."
"Oh, you already talked with him over the phone?"
"He said that since he is in charge of cultural affairs and arts, he knows a lot of painters and artists. He was suggesting having an art exhibition for Chinese young painters. He is more than willing to introduce good artists and an art gallery."
"Really?"
President Shin looked a bit down that day until she heard Gun-Ho talking about the art exhibition.
"I don't know much about paintings, but I read from a newspaper the other day that in China, there are a lot of good young painters with non-figurative paintings."
"That's right. There are many Chinese young painters who are well known worldwide. What I like about that is that they are not afraid of challenging new areas."
"Min-Hyeok will soon have his wedding in Korea. Once Mr. Ding Feng comes to Korea, you will have your chance to discuss it with him. Seukang Li is very interested in Mr. Ding Feng's art exhibition in Korea."
President Shin smiled.
While Gun-Ho and President Shin were conversing, Director Kim and Mr. Adam Castler arrived.
"Let me make an official introduction. Mr. Adam Castler, this is GH Media's president—Ms. Jeong-Sook Shin."
Jeong-Sook Shin offered her hand to Mr. Adam Castler for a handshake with a smile.
"Oh, a pleasure to meet you, ma'am."
Mr. Adam Castler actually spoke in Korean. He already started picking up a few Korean words.
As Jeong-Sook Shin gave him her business card, Mr. Adam Castler looked at the English version on the back of the business card.
"Oh, it's a publishing company!"
Mr. Adam Castler extended his hand to President Jeong-Sook Shin for another handshake.
