"What would you like to drink, President Goo?"
"You choose one, anything you like, Suk-Ho."
"How do you like Chivas Regal?"
"Sure. That's good."
"Hey, bring us a Chivas Regal and girls."
"No problem!"
A moment later, a staff brought Chivas Regal along with small dishes such as fruits and dried food. Three girls came into the room as well. They were half-naked.
"Come on girls. Have a seat here with us!"
The three girls sat next to Gun-Ho, Min-Hyeok, and Suk-Ho. Gun-Ho couldn't say the girls were pretty. They were short and not good-looking at all, and their faces were covered with a thick layer of makeup. Their perfume was strong. They were Korean Chinese. Gun-Ho wanted to finish this "gathering" as soon as he could.
After taking a few glasses of liquor, Suk-Ho started slow dancing with one of the girls while embracing the girl. He must be very drunk already.
"You girls, have you heard of Itaewon Town in Seoul City? I made huge money there."
"Is that true, oppa?"
"Of course! Ask these gentlemen sitting right there. I'm telling the truth!"
Gun-Ho looked at Min-Hyeok's face, who was sitting next to him. Min-Hyeok was talking in a low voice with the girl next to him. The girl was holding his arm.
"Oppa, you don't like me? Why don't you show me some interest? Look at me, and talk to me, oppa."
The girl next to Gun-Ho sat close to Gun-Ho. Gun-Ho just kept drinking his glass of liquor without saying a word.
When they almost finished the bottle of liquor, Gun-Ho thought it was the time he had to say he wanted to leave before Suk-Ho could even suggest having one more bottle of liquor. He didn't want to stay even one more second there.
"Hey, I guess it's time to go. I feel so tired today since I came all the way from Suzhou to Shenyang. Let's call it a night."
"You are leaving already? I just started, man."
"We can have more later."
Gun-Ho turned on the light of the room. Once the room became bright, Gun-Ho could see the girls more clearly. They were really really not pretty at all. Gun-Ho couldn't understand why these girls chose to work in this field. They could work in a factory which was a healthier job than this. Gun-Ho took out his wallet from the inner pocket of his jacket.
"Thank you for today. Please take this."
Gun-Ho placed two 200 Yuan on the table for the girls.
"Oppa, you are awesome."
The girls gave a kiss on Gun-Ho's cheek before leaving the room. Gun-Ho could hear the girls laughing outside the door.
Suk-Ho pouted.
"Hey, Gun-Ho Goo! I just started having fun. I liked the girl who was sitting next to me."
"I'm sorry, but I'm so exhausted today, and I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go to Dandong City to Economic Development Zone. Where do we stay tonight?"
"It's at the Crown Plaza Hotel on Taishan Road. It's close to Beiling (where Hong Taiji's tomb is located) Park. You can take a tour there before you leave tomorrow."
"I don't know if we will have time for a tour tomorrow."
Three men walked out of the Karaoke building. Many people were still on the street, and they seemed to be having fun.
"Well, Suk-Ho, I guess I will see you when I see you. We are heading to the hotel now. You don't have to come to the hotel tomorrow. We will go to the airport on our own."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I wish you success in your new business. Thank you for today."
The following day, Gun-Ho and Min-Hyeok arrived at Dandong Economic Development Zone. It was after 1 pm. The deputy director person greeted them with excitement.
"It's really nice to meet you. We do welcome Korean businessmen fervently."
Gun-Ho gave his business card to the deputy director.
"This development zone is located on the riverside of Amrok River facing Sinuiju City in North Korea. That's why we also call this area Dandong Border Economic Cooperation Zone."
