The standoff with North Korea has become increasingly acute.
Day after day, they lashed out at each other with high-performance loudspeakers near the border.
Soon the government pulled out a strong card.
The South Korean government has decided to stop the complex altogether in response to North Korea's fourth nuclear test and long-range missile launch.
The government will also complete the withdrawal of South Korean workers from the industrial complex as soon as possible.]
"What? You're pulling out of the Kaesong Industrial Complex?"
Companies operating in the complex were hit hard.
But I sat in the officetel and smiled a little.
It was because the stocks related to THAAD that I bought rose all at once.
"Victech, Ace Tech, Hyein and Ssangyong Information and Communication all went up."
I saw that the stocks I bought would remain strong for the time being.
When I went home, my mom served kimchi stew, seasoned deodeok, and acorn jelly.
Mom yelled at Jun-hee's room.
"Let's eat!"
Jun-hee looked at me and said with a smile.
"My mom said she was hungry, but she wanted to eat with me when my brother came, so I waited.”
"If you were hungry, why didn't you eat first?"
My mom used to live in Sillim-dong, but after coming to this apartment, my attitude toward me was even worse.
So when my aunt came, I used to give her a pint.
"What kind of child are you trying to fool?"
Then my mom would laugh back and say, 'Nothing has been good to me.'
So, Jun-hee more complaints and I don't know whether it be a terrible paeminiseuteu
I asked Junhee while eating.
"Did you say you were leaving next month?"
"Yes, it's the end of March."
"Your English must have improved a lot."
Jun-hee was attending the YBM language school in Jongno ahead of her study abroad.
"It doesn't grow as fast as I thought."
I glanced at Jun-hee's side face.
When I quit my lawyer's office to study abroad, I gained some weight because I was worried about studying abroad.
"You're a good student, so you'll do well."
Mom stepped in.
"She seemed to be good at video English or something in her room."
"What do you know? Let's just eat!"
Jun-hee turned red and gave her mother a pint.
His friend Sung-mo and his acquaintance Choi Jae-hwan, who got off at Podong Airport in Shanghai, looked around when they left the arrival hall.
In the crowd, someone waved a large piece of paper with the name Choi Jae-hwan.
"You're from the securities firm's Sangha branch, aren't you?”
"Are you Mr. Choi Jae-hwan?"
"Yes."
"The branch manager asked me to pick you up. Let's go."
The securities firm staff guided Sungmo and Choi Jae-hwan to a large building in Podong.
"Wow, all the buildings here are huge."
"Kim Jong-il, North Korea's former leader, came here and said it was the perfect place to be. China is also developing tremendously.”
The branch manager welcomed Choi Jae-hwan.
"Hello, Choi Jae-hwan!"
"You're still tense."
"I'm old enough to be flattered. How's Mr. Bae doing?"
"Yes, you're doing fine. I'm actually here on an errand for you."
"I'm going to be in the shadow of him after I retire. Isn't that right?"
"Igo is still young, is that so?"
"No, I'm under a lot of stress these days. The head office won't be able to peck at me because of my poor performance.”
"Is that how you peck?"
"When Choi Jae-hwan works, the environment is very different. What's more, we're looking into bringing in THAAD from Korea these days, and the atmosphere of Chinese kids is not unusual either."
"Is the THAAD that serious?"
"We have the perception that the United States is surrounding China. We don't know what will happen to our branch when the THAAD issue begins in earnest.”
"If there are fewer Korean companies, we'll have fewer customers here."
"That's right. Our branch deals with Korean companies and Koreans in China more than with Chinese kids.”
Choi Jae-hwan tapped the Virgin Mary next to him.
"Oh, say hello. He was with me when I was in a securities company. You were the chief when I was deputy."
"Hello, my name is Yang Sung Mo."
"Are you working with him? My name is Jo Ik-sang."
When the branch manager gave him his business card, Yang Sung-mo reached out his hands and received the business card politely.
The woman employee brought the car.
"Drink it. It's the famous Yongjeong tea in China."
"Really?"
said the branch manager over tea.
"Mr. Choi Jae-hwan! Pay attention to Chinese stocks, too.”
"You should know something about Chinese stocks.”
"Since we run a club, we might have some influence. I often visit the cafe run by Jaehwan here. That was great."
"Awesome. It's all a penny. It's a hundred times better for you to do it once."
"I blew it when he was deputy head of the fund management office. At that time, there was even a saying that President Bae would feed the securities company.”
We are going to go to West Bank from here.
"Western? Why there?"
"Mr. Bae, I'm on an errand. So I'm telling you, is there an employee here who is good at Chinese? Not ethnic Koreans."
"Chinese. All of our staff are good.”
"Somebody you can trust."
"Is it work-related?"
Choi Jae-hwan nodded.
"Then I have a friend who is very good at Chinese who has been working for a year..."
"Then introduce me."
"He graduated from middle and high school in Shanghai and also from Bokdan University in Shanghai, so there's a Chinese-like guy.”
"Is it trustworthy?”
"Believe it. Her father used to be a high-ranking government official in our country. It's reliable."
"Can I go on a three-day business trip with him?"
"Leave your seat here?"
"That's why I'm speaking quietly to you."
"You said it was your job, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Uhhhhhhh. Then please talk to Mr. Bae, please let me put a spoon on the floor when he hawks on the floor."
"Okay, I'll tell you."
"But watch out for the loitering room. He'll always eat the bottom first and throw the rest of the bones to us.”
"I know that. I wouldn't mind a bone with a little bit of flesh."
"Hahaha, so am I. Wait a minute."
