"Sure."
Gun-Ho headed to Egnopak with Director Kim. Gun-Ho gave a bow to the Egnopak's president.
"I was surprised when I saw you at my wedding, sir."
"Of course I had to be there. You are one of our important business partners."
"I don't know what to say, sir. Thank you so much for coming."
"It is true that our relationship went through a rough patch, but I already forget all of those. A man shouldn't cling to the past."
"I do admire your generosity, sir."
Director Kim who was sitting next to Gun-Ho added, "Everyone in this industry knows of the Egnopak president's generosity."
"Really? It is a well-known fact, huh?"
"Of course, sir. I know that for a fact because I've been in the industry for a long time, and I've met almost every single person in the field doing my sales work."
"Of course. Director Kim and I have known each other for more than twenty years."
"Even though Mr. President, sir, you get mad sometimes, everyone knows that you don't hold a grudge. Moreover, we all admire your achievement that you grew the company this big after you inherited the business from your father. I absolutely admire you, sir."
Gun-Ho participated in Director's Kim's buttering-up.
"I also heard that you are the 1.5 generation, not the second generation of a wealthy family."
"Oh, you heard that too? Hahaha."
Director Kim chipped in.
"I've heard of that too."
"Director Kim, didn't you feel disappointed when I made only a small volume of product order?"
"Oh, well, I understand that you probably have your own reason, sir. I'm sure the volume of product orders will gradually increase."
"I will try to order more next month. Hahaha."
Egnopak's president seemed to feel very good.
Gun-Ho thought that he should prepare something for Minister Jin-Woo Lee as well since he presided over his wedding. If the minister was a regular person, Gun-Ho might have prepared some gift money, but the minister had a wealthy family, and money wouldn't make much impact on him.
"What should I get him?"
Gun-Ho couldn't think of any good present for the minister other than maybe a painting.
He had a landscape painting that he received from Mr. Ding Feng. Actually, when he went to Gwangju City to see Artist Young-San Hwan the other day, he wanted to buy a piece of his paintings, but it was way too expensive when he asked the Hanbit Gallery's staff about the price. Gun-Ho was wondering if Artist Ding Feng's painting would be good enough.
"If I could get him Artist Young-San Hwang's painting, that would have been awesome. Mr. Ding Feng's artworks are not very known among Koreans. I'm not sure if he would like it."
When he had a class at the Advanced Center for Administrative Development, he brought the same rice cakes and healthy beverages that he brought previously. He also didn't forget to bring Mr. Ding Feng's painting.
During the break followed by the first class, Gun-Ho distributed the rice cakes along with the drinks.
"This is your thank-you-gift for us for attending your wedding?"
"Man, this is not enough. We want to have these several times more."
The student made jokes while enjoying the rice cakes and healthy drinks.
"By the way, there were so many people at his wedding. I didn't know President Goo was that popular."
"You didn't hear what Minister Lee said during the wedding? He is running five companies."
"How big are they?"
"One of the companies is making 80 billion won of annual sales revenue."
"Wow. That's amazing given his young age."
As a class manager, Gun-Ho took good care of the class. He prepared a drink for a professor in every class, and he cleaned the class board after each class. Gun-Ho became very popular among the students. Many legal professionals and high-ranking government officials asked Gun-Ho for his business card.
After the class, Gun-Ho gave the painting to Minister Jin-Woo Park at the parking lot.
"I appreciate you for presiding over my wedding, sir. When you have time, I'd like to take you to a golf field to have a round of golf with you. Also, I brought this painting for you. It's painted by a Chinese famous artist."
"Oh, thank you. You didn't have to get me anything."
Minister Jin-Woo Lee opened the painting.
"Hmm, I like it. It's a northern school literati painting."
"Do you know of a northern school literati painting?"
"Of course. It's common knowledge. By the way, I've noticed that you received so many guests at your wedding. I guess you are a popular person."
The minister extended his hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake and said, "I'm so happy that I got the chance to get to know a decent person like you."
