After they finished playing the Geomumgo, other pretty ladies in a traditional Korean dress came into the room and started serving the food. Surprisingly, these ladies spoke English very well. Mr. Adam Castler and the three American engineers seemed to be extremely satisfied with the service and the music.
After the meal, a dessert was served. Nectar and fruits were served. While they were enjoying the dessert, Ms. Jang entered the room and sat next to Mr. Adam Castler.
Gun-Ho introduced her to Mr. Adam Castler.
"This is the owner of this bar/restaurant."
Once the interpreter interpreted what Gun-Ho said for Adam Castler, Adam Castler grabbed Ms. Jang's hand and shook it.
Ms. Jang said,
"This gentleman has very nice sideburns."
When the interpreter interpreted for Adam Caslter, Adam Castler grabbed Ms. Jang's hand again and shook it one more time.
"Ms. Jang, this gentleman will pay for our dinner here. He is the one who you need to focus on tonight."
Ms. Jang put a piece of fruit into Ms. Adam Castler's mouth.
Ms. Jang came close to Gun-Ho.
"President Goo, please fill up my glass with liquor for me."
"Oh, are you sure, Ms. Jang?"
Gun-Ho filled up a glass with traditional Korean liquor and handed it to Ms. Jang.
After finishing it, Ms. Jang gave the empty glass back to Gun-Ho, and she said,
"President Goo, do you mind if I introduce a nice girl to you?"
"Do you have someone in your mind?"
"You know of an actress named Mi-Lyeong Lee, don't you?"
"Oh, I think I know of her. She usually takes the role of a mother in a soap opera these days."
"She is a friend of mine. We used to have a scene together in a movie and TV series before. She is still acting, and she has a pretty large social network. When I talked to her about you the other day, President Goo, she wanted to introduce someone to you."
"Really? I appreciate it. Let me fill up your glass again."
Gun-Ho filled up Ms. Jang's glass with liquor again to show his acceptance of her offer.
Adam Caslter and other American engineers seemed to be highly satisfied with the food and service that night. They were humming while they were walking out of the bar.
"Boss! This is the best day of our entire stay in Korea!"
The American engineers called Gun-Ho as their boss. They raised their thumb. Mr. Adam Castler paid for the dinner including the services provided by the ladies, with the company credit card.
When they walked out to the restaurant's yard, Gun-Ho felt the fresh air on his face.
One of the American engineers wanted to go to a men's room before leaving the restaurant. Gun-Ho sat under the maple tree in the yard while waiting for him. At that moment, Tae-Young Im came to Gun-Ho.
"Big brother, do you by any chance hire a chauffeur for you? I've noticed that you drive your own car. Egnopak's president's son is younger than you, but he has his own chauffeur."
"Do you have someone you want to recommend?"
"I actually do. He is a few years younger than me. He has a firm body, and he can speak English too. He was a junior to me when we were in the college of physical education in Yongin City."
"Really?"
"Hey, Chan-Ho, come here!"
A bouncer came and gave a 90-degree bow to Gun-Ho.
"I'm Chan-Ho Eom."
Tae-Young Im introduced Chan-Ho Eom to Gun-Ho,
"This is the man whom I was talking to you about. He has a three-degree black belt in Taekwondo and four-degree in Judo. You don't have to hire him directly, but I can send him to you for the chauffeur work from my security staffing company."
"Oh, really?"
Gun-Ho extended his hand to Chan-Ho Eom for a handshake.
"The thing is that I am not in Seoul these days. I stay most of the time in a provincial city, but when I move back to Seoul, I will contact you. I think I like you."
"Thank you, big brother."
Once the American engineer came back from the men's room, Gun-Ho's party began to walk toward the parking lot. Tae-Young Im followed Gun-Ho.
"You seemed to have drunk a lot tonight. I will drive you to your house."
"No, it's okay. I rented a car since I have guests here with me. Did you say the man's name is Chan-Ho Eom?"
"Yes, big brother."
"Hmm. I will remember his name."
Gun-Ho waved his hand to Tae-Young Im before leaving.
