Chapter 309: Joint Venture (3) – Part 2
“I will make an arrangent to use one rental car for Mr. Adam Castler and three other engineers from Dyeon Arica for the commute. Also, I will make sure that the car won’t be used by anyone else other than you or the Aricans from Dyeon Arica.”
“Sounds good.”
“And about the researchers, who are now working in the production field in Dyeon Korea, they have received training from Dyeon Arica in U.S., but since they are accustod to a research center setting, they are having so difficulties in working in the production field. So, Director Jong-Suk Park often cos to our factory, and he is helping them a lot. The problem is that I was told that GH Mobile hates this arrangent. They are bluntly expressing their concern and disapproval of it.”
“Hmm.”
“So, I was thinking that maybe we can hire a factory worker who can do maintenance work with the machines in the production field and also hire one more worker who has work experience to a certain level to have as the team leader.”
“Okay. Post those two job postings on WorkNet.”
“Thank you, sir. I will try to select young workers with competence at work.”
“And...”
“You have more things to suggest, Director Yoon? I guess you ca all prepared today, huh?”
“Director Kim and I had an interview with the female candidate who Director Kim talked to you about the other day. You know, the one who was recomnded by the governnt official.”
“Oh, yes, I rember that. How is she?”
“I was actually skeptical at first since she was a relative of a governnt official, and she didn’t apply for the position through our regular hiring process. However, it turns out that she is not bad at all. She is good-looking, and she speaks English as well.”
“That’s good. Then let’s hire her.”
“I thought it would be better if you see her before we finalize her employnt, so I asked her to co here again today. I think she is probably in my office already.”
“Do I have to see her? Because you, Director Yoon and Director Kim found her a good fit for the position, then she should be good.”
“Well, still, she will work closely with you in serving you with tea and stuff. I think you’d better et her to make sure we all like her.”
“Hmm.”
“You will find her a good fit because she is calm and quiet. It seems that she was raised in a good family. Her sister is the wife of a governnt official, and her father is now retired, but he used to work as a high-ranking governnt official as well. They are locals from Asan City.”
“Hmm. Her sister is the spouse of a governnt official, and that makes her not very young. I guess there must be a big age gap between the two sisters.”
“According to Director Kim, her parents wanted to have a son. Their first child was a girl, so they tried again but ended up having another daughter.”
“I see. Her parents must be old people with old beliefs.”
“I will check to see if she is here, and I will bring her here.”
“Sounds good.”
After a while, a young female who looked like in her mid-20s ca into Gun-Ho’s office. Her hands were folded in front of her, which showed her respect for Gun-Ho and also her nervousness.
“What is your na?”
“I’m Seon-Hye Yee, sir.”
“Are you living in Asan City?”
“Yes, sir. I’m living with my parents.”
Gun-Ho didn’t even bother asking her about her academic degree or previous work experience.
“This is a start-up company of a joint venture. We are still in the process of arranging things before we could open our business. We don’t have many female workers and the location is not very convenient to commute. Do you think you can handle all these?”
“I will do my best, sir.”
Gun-Ho looked at her carefully. She was definitely the calm and stable type, and she was also elegant.
“Well, I look forward to working with you.”
Gun-Ho said with a smile.
“Thank you, sir.”
Ms. Seon-Hye Yee gave a deep bow to Gun-Ho before walking out of the office.
After the new female worker left the office, Gun-Ho made a call to President Jeong-Sook Shin at GH dia.
“Yes, sir. This is Jeong-Sook Shin.”
“Is a book café a good business nowadays?”
“A book café, sir?”
“Yes, I’ve seen a lot of articles and news about it these days, especially on the Internet. There are many uniquely decorated book cafes.”
“Well, I’m not sure, sir. It’s one of the trendy businesses, and I’m not sure if it will bring good money. I guess the specific business requires the owner to really like books. Those sorts of business are not just about making money.”
“Have you visited GH Building before?”
“Yes, I went there once. The location is really good.”
“I’m going to make its rooftop green like a good resting area. The one on the twentieth floor.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Do you think it would be a good idea to open a book café there? With the na of GH dia?”
“A book café in GH Building?”
“Right.”
“If the book café uses our na—GH dia—then do we operate the café?”
“That’s right.”
“I don’t know. I can’t really tell anything at this point. I think I need to see it first.”
“When you have ti, please visit the building and go to the rooftop. I will let Director Kang know that you will co by to visit soon. He will open the door to the rooftop for you.”
“Is Director Kang managing the building now?”
“Yes. We have our GH Developnt office on the eighteenth floor.”
“I see. I will go there tomorrow.”
The new female worker—Ms. Seon-Hye Yee—entered Gun-Ho’s office. She brought a cup of hot green tea. When she placed the tea on the table she slipped and spilled the tea. She must have been very nervous on her first day of work. So of the green tea spattered on Gun-Ho’s face.
“Holy sh*t!”
Gun-Ho jumped out of his chair in surprise.
Ms. Seon-Hye Yee seed to be mortified and started wiping out the tea on the table with her silk handkerchief.
Gun-Ho said with a smile,
“It’s okay. Don’t use your handkerchief. We have a towel in the office.”
“I’m so sorry, sir.”
“It’s okay. Today is your first day of work. You must be nervous. You will talk about this day as one of the fun days in your life in the future.”
Ms. Seon-Hye seed to be still terrified and quickly walked out of the office, and she ca back with a towel. She started wiping out the table with the towel.
“It’s clean enough, Ms. Yee. The rest of the tea will be dried out as ti goes. Why don’t you bring another cup of hot green tea?”
Ms. Seon-Hye Yee prepared another green tea and ca back to the office. This ti, she was extrely careful while putting down the cup of green tea on Gun-Ho’s table.
Gun-Ho laughed, and Ms. Seon-Hye Yee laughed along with him.
Once Ms. Seon-Hye Yee left the office, Gun-Ho mumbled to himself.
“Well, I guess it is indeed her very first day of work in her entire life. She seems very innocent and naïve.”
