Who is in charge of the warehouse? By now, it's open . Daebong didn't have any particular appointment that day . Though he could have had one of his staff members find out more about the warehouse, he decided to check it out for himself . When he arrived at the warehouse, he felt there was something going on inside it because the lights were on . The door was not locked, so he cautiously went inside . "Excuse me . " Daebong found two young men working inside, busy packing the castors . "How can I help you?" "Oh, I live nearby and didn't notice before . How long has this company been operating?" "Not that long . Why are you asking about it?" "Oh, I know something about N&C Korea . And I'm a.s.sociated with it a bit, too . May I ask who is the owner here?" asked Daebong . The two men looked at each other . After some hesitation, they looked at him again . "Actually we're the representatives here…" "Do you mean there is the actual owner then?" "Yes, that's true . Why are you asking it repeatedly? I wonder how you're a.s.sociated with N&C…" They cast a wary eye at him this time . Only they did Daebong give his name cards to them, "Oh, I think I made a gaffe . This is my business card . I'm the president of Aurum, and N&C in Vietnam is supplying castors to us, so I got interested in this place and that's why I'm here now . " "Oh, I see…Would you want coffee?" His mention of Aurum put their noses out of joint immediately . Taking a submissive att.i.tude, they tried to entertain him nicely . Daebong felt something strange about their behavior, too . Given that N&C was supplying parts to Aurum, it had nothing to do with these young men . A little later one of the young men got a call from somebody, whose name was familiar to Daebong . " . . . Hyunwoo…" Hyunwoo? Can he be the same Hyunwoo of Aurum? Daebong waited until the young guy finished the call and then asked, "Is that the person Hyunwoo working at Aurum?" The young guy nodded his head, saying "Yes, that's right . He lent this warehouse to us and helped us a lot . " He told Daebong about lots of good things about Hyunwoo, as if he felt it was a good chance to promote Hyunwoo, and Daebong nodded, agreeing Hyunwoo was a great guy . But in heart Daebong was surprised a lot . Did Hyunwoo buy this warehouse? And he lent it to these young men? Why? He asked again, "I think you guys have to repay his favor then . I don't think he lent it to you free . " "We're returning 30% of the sales profits here . I understand he shares the profits with us . " "Sharing the 30% profits with you?" They nodded their heads . Daebong couldn't understand it . Hearing what they told him, Daebong found out they're no more than employees, but Hyunwoo gave them salaries as an incentive . Their salaries would go up in proportion to the sales increase . Then, it was reasonable for Hyunwoo, the actual owner, to take 70% and the two young men to take the remaining 30%, but Hyunwoo gave much more profits to them . Daebong felt there must be some secret that he didn't know, which made him recall what Youngsu Park, the manager of the purchasing team, had reported to him a while ago . It was a conversation about N&C .

You cant go in there . Thats my neighbor Kurodas research room . It has nothing to do with food or even with us, said Duyoung resolutely . But the general affairs manager was pretty nervous . He might have to leave empty-handed as he didnt find any fault . He had to find out any loophole to avoid the presidents rebuke . Would you get his approval? Or let me request him directly . Thats too unreasonable a request, I think . Oh, thats fine . You may come in and take a look, came out Kurodas voice, when Duyoung was about to quarrel with him . Kuroda already opened the main door wide . The general affairs manager quickly stepped in and peeped into it . Just like Duyoungs container house, Kurodas had nothing to do with food research . With a sigh in heart, he thought, How should I report to the president? And he left the place with a heavy heart . When he was gone, Duyoung pushed his own wheelchair to Kuroda, Im so sorry . Ive made a gaffe . Oh, not at all . Thats not a big deal, replied Kuroda with a pleasing smile . In fact, Duyoung was very curious about his research . Especially when Duyoung could not make any progress in his own research because of his insufficient knowledge of the car engines, and Duyoung wanted to know about Kurodas ongoing research . He felt if he could share Kurodas knowledge of the car engine, it would be of great help to him, but Duyoung suffered in silence because he clearly mentioned something about leak of company secrets when he first visited Korea . Duyoung was afraid Kuroda might move to another place, frightened beforehand when he wrongly mentioned it, but Duyoung felt that it was about time to mention it given Kurodas mood at the moment . How is your research doing these days? asked Duyoung cautiously . Its not easy . I run into lots of difficulties as I dont have much knowledge in the area, said Kuroda, shaking his head . I wonder if I could be of any help to you . As you know, Ive got some competent knowledge of car fuel . Kuroda suddenly opened his eyes wide, Are you serious? Duyoung made a puzzled look because he thought Kuroda must have known about his expertise, Oh, didnt you know that? I think you saw me teaching the kids at the alternative school about it several times . No, thats not what I mean . Can you share your knowledge with me? In fact, I wanted to ask you a favor several times, but I was hesitant to do so, said Kuroda . It looked like Kuroda had the same agony as Duyoung . Whenever he couldnt make any progress, Kuroda wanted to seek his help, but could not mention it because it might be discourteous to him . Hahaha . I wish you had mentioned it to me a long time ago . If you need my help, Im always available . In fact, I needed your help… said Duyoung, confiding to him about his difficulties in doing the research . At that moment, Kuroda came to Duyoung quickly and held his hands, Got it . Why dont we do this way? How? Lets share our research . Of course, we cant reveal everything . I have to keep the company secrets and you also have to keep the outcome of your core research to yourself . Except for that, dont you think we can share our research outcomes freely? Duyoung grabbed his hands more firmly and said, Thats what I really wanted . Oh my G.o.d! If thats the case, I wish I had spoken to you about it much sooner . Thanks so much . Its my pleasure . I would like to thank you, too . Hahaha Both of them smiled brightly . Watching them quietly Jisuk smiled, Looks like I have to give thanks to the general manager for all this . In the meantime, the general manager was quite uneasy while he was driving back to the company . He just let out a sigh when the thought that he would be scolded by the president . Nonetheless, he had to report his findings . If he found any fault, his report would be supposed to be short, but actually, it was thick because there was nothing substantial . It was intended to show how much he worked to find out any fault in vain . It contained as many as 70 attached pictures . When he stepped into the presidents office, he presented the report quietly . Daebong, the president, examined the report silently and put it down on the table after checking the last page . Didnt you find any fault at all? Nothing, sir . Everything was perfect . I tried to find one in every way, but couldnt . Got it . You may leave now . At the moment, the general manager opened his eyes wide . He thought he would get a severe scolding, but actually, he didnt . He quickly got out of the presidents office for fear he might change his mind and get furious . Daebong expected he would find no fault . Sometimes, Daebong saw Hyunwoo working at the office . He did his job professionally, never carrying his a.s.signments in a slovenly manner . The impression of his mother at the House of Happiness was the same . Though she took a submissive att.i.tude, she seemed to be a big person, not doing things carelessly . Like son, like mother? Hmmm . still I need to find whatsoever fault anyway, Daebong said to himself . At that moment, he thought of the House of Happiness . Specifically that outdated warehouse on the way to the orphanage, with a simple sign
