"To an executive position? Who is the candidate?"
The general affairs director took out a list of candidates for a promotion, from his folder.
"All these people worked more than four years in their current position, and their performance evaluation is above B. There are nine of them. One of them is a candidate for an executive position. It's the accounting manager— Ms. Min-Hwa Kim."
"Hmm."
Gun-Ho took a look at the candidate list. He didn't have to be involved in a promotion to a position like a team lead, assistant manager, and manager, but he would have to give an opinion on the promotion for Manager Min-Hwa Kim.
"Hmm. Give me some time to think about this. I will let you know."
"Yes, sir."
The general affairs manager walked out of the office after giving a bow to Gun-Ho.
Gun-Ho thought about Manager Min-Hwa Kim's promotion.
'She has been managing the accounting department by herself, and I know that she has worked so hard even during the court receivership. I do think she deserves the promotion. She is capable of handling work, and she also has an aptitude for accounting work. The thing is that once she is promoted to a director, we will have two directors who would handle the company's finance; Ms. Min-Hwa Kim and the internal auditor. I will have to move one of them to another department. But to where?'
'I want to discuss this with President Song, but he is on a trip to the U.S. right now. Well, I can't discuss it with the internal auditor either. Hmm.'
An internal auditor position was commonly found in a large company, but not in a mid-size company like GH Mobile. So, even though the position title was Internal Auditor, GH Mobile's internal auditor's actual work was an executive officer's in the finance department.
It was Tuesday.
During the lunchtime, Gun-Ho went to Seoul National University Hospital in Dongsung Town to pick up Young-Eun. He made a call to Young-Eun. It was actually the first time he would talk with Young-Eun on the phone. They often exchanged text messages but they hadn't talked on the phone.
"It's me, your oppa."
"Yes, oppa."
"I'm at the entrance of Seoul National University Hospital right now. Can you come down?"
"Okay."
Once Young-Eun got into the car, they headed out to Hilton Hotel.
While they were on the way to Hilton Hotel, Young-Eun, who was sitting next to Gun-Ho in the rear seat, said to Gun-Ho, "Do you think I've lost some weight?"
"No, I don't think so."
"People around me said I lost some weight."
"I've heard that too at work."
Chan-Ho chipped in while looking at Gun-Ho and Young-Eun through the rearview mirror.
"I've heard that many people lose some weight before their wedding."
"I guess preparing for the wedding could be stressful."
"Sir, I'm so envious of you."
"For what?"
"If you become ill, you have your wife who can give you a personal medical treatment."
Gun-Ho and Young-Eun laughed.
When they arrived at Hilton Hotel, they went to the office that handled weddings.
"When is your wedding date?"
"It's March 18th."
"It's on Sunday…"
The wedding staff was checking their schedule.
"Saturdays are usually full, but we sometimes have vacant hours on Sundays. That's because many Christians don't want to do their wedding on Sunday."
Fortunately, they could reserve the banquet hall for March 18. Gun-Ho and Young-Eun told them that they were expecting 300 guests on their wedding.
"I think we need to reserve 300 seats for the guests. I'm going to ask the people at work to come to my wedding, who are above executive positions."
Renting a wedding dress and photography were very expensive.
"Wow, is it that expensive?"
Young-Eun asked the price again. It seemed that she was having a hard time believing it.
"You will find higher prices in other hotels. I can show you the price comparison chart if you want."
Gun-Ho talked her down.
"No, it won't be necessary. We will take the service package."
Young-Eun looked at Gun-Ho's face. She didn't seem to be happy with the cost.
"We won't be able to find another wedding venue right now. Let's just take it."
Gun-Ho and Young-Eun made a reservation with the Millennium Hilton Seoul for their wedding.
The staff helped them to find a place for their honeymoon trip as well. They decided to go to Hawaii.
