Unyeong's brother asked me.
"Does a private equity fund invest in a hospital?"
"Personal hospitals are small, so I won't, but large hospitals can do it like REITs funds."
"Litz Fund?"
"It's a fund that collects money from customers and invests it in real estate. It's a fund that gets dividends from real estate rental income and gains from sales and sales from rising real estate prices."
"It's a problem if you focus on rent income and profits from real estate sales?"
"There is a company called Weltower listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the U.S. It's a company that invests mainly in hospitals, medical centers, nursing hospitals, etc. Not long ago, I bought shares of Weltower from Mirae Asset REITs Fund in Korea."
These were the knowledge I got from the economic papers that I sat in the president's office every day.
When Eun-young treated the patient, I turned the rotating chair in the president's office and looked at the newspaper, so I could excel in this knowledge.
But Eunyeong's family opened their mouths and heard what I was saying interestingly.
"Then what's the return on investment at Mirae Asset REITs Fund or JS Invest?”
"I don't know much about Mirae Asset. We have a slightly better rate of return than the bank's time deposit rate, which is not easy to achieve."
Eunyeong told her father to stop.
"No more fund questions. This guy's not eating."
When Eun-young stopped asking me questions, I started to eat.
Unyeong pushed something like a side dish before me.
Eun-young gave me a lecture from my brother gave me a lecture.
"Yeong-eun takes care of her boyfriend extraordinarily?"
At the sound of her brother, Eunyeong stopped moving.
said Eunyeong.
"Is your parents all there?"
"Yes, they're all there."
"Where do you live?”
"I live in a Zai apartment in Dorim-dong, Yeongdeungpo. Sindorim Station is close."
"Ah, Zaiappa!"
Eun-young seemed a little disappointed.
I think I have a lot of money, but it looked like that because I live in Yeongdeungpo-gu instead of Gangnam.
"What does your father do?"
"He's a window man. He's setting up a small corporation with 2 employees. She's very old now, so I'm asking her to quit."
Next to him, said Eunyeong.
"It's good to be active even when you're old."
Eun-young told me as if she wanted me to listen.
"Oh, my sister-in-law wanted to live in Gangnam because she has a lot of friends living in Gangnam, but I don't know if she will."
Unyeong looked at her mother and said,
"Mom, when did I ever..."
"You stay still! And these days, everyone lives separately. Who lives with your in-laws? Uncheol lives separately in Ilsan right now, right? We all have our own lives!"
Eunyeong had the condition that her mother-in-law should live in Gangnam and not take her parents-in-law with her.
I said with a gentle smile.
"You're right about that."
My mother seemed relieved at this remark.
I got up after finishing my meal and drinking tea again.
"Mother, you must be tired. I'm going to get up now."
"Are you already going?"
I had some flattery about Eun-young to get a score from her mother.
"I enjoyed your dinner. The food must have been eaten at home."
"Oh, I didn't prepare anything!"
"No, I ate a lot. And this is a ginseng set for your mother and father."
"What, bring something like this? You can just come."
I said Eunyeong, bowing her head to her brother.
"Brother! If you're interested in funds, please come visit our office. I have an office at the International Finance Center in Yeouido."
I put on the coat that I put on the sofa to go.
Eun-young's brother stared at my coat carefully. It was a 4.5 million won Tom Brown coat that doctors can hardly wear.
When I said I'd go, Eunyeong's family came downstairs.
Even if I told you not to come out, you followed me.
I pressed the automatic key to open the driver's door of Benz Mybach.
Then he opened the driver's door and bowed again to say goodbye.
I reached out my hand over the car window and shook hands with Eunyeong.
After Eun-yeong shook hands, she smiled brightly, drawing a V with her fingers.
As my car pulled out of the alley, Eunyeong asked her son.
"How much is that car?"
"Well, it'll be about 300 million."
300 million? Oh, my God!"
The mother of Eunyeong, a typical housewife of a middle-class family, was surprised to hear that her car cost 300 million won.
"You look like you really have money.”
"You're wearing a coat that costs more than 4 million won."
"Is it? Is it so expensive? The coat looks good, but I didn't know it was so expensive."
"Even if you're out of the job market, you know a lot about it. I think you're good at business."
Coming up to the fourth floor again, Eunyeong's dad asked Eunyeong's mom.
"What do you say? The one who came now."
"Okay, I like it, but the sign... ...it would've been nice if the sign was good.”
"If Unyeong likes it, let's get married."
"Oh, I don't know."
"Uncheol! What do you think?"
"Well, I'm sure he's a figure, but he seems to be too extravagant with money. None of our doctors wear that kind of car or coat.”
"My story is, can I get married?"
"As long as they like it. Eunyeong doesn't seem to want to starve."
While Eun-young was washing the dishes and washing her hands, her father approached her.
"You should also meet his parents."
At this remark, Unyeong smiled.
When I arrived home, I parked my car and went up to the elevator, and I got a message from Eunyeong.
[You did a great job today, brother.]
[Me, you didn't make a mistake today, did you?] How did your parents react?]
[I didn't think it was bad. But my mom hasn't given me a definite answer yet.]
[Come to my house next weekend. Do you have to say hello to my parents, too?]
[I have a broadcast schedule next week.]
[Then come the week after that. It's okay during the week.]
[Well, I'll call you. Good night.]
[Unyeong! I love you. Sweet dreams!]
[Oppa!]
I loved it so much that I went up the elevator even further.

On Monday, I checked the overseas fund investment presentation at the company.
Deputy General Manager Chang brought an advertisement in the economic magazine and showed it to me.
"It's Friday, November 25, at the Meritz Tower Amoris Hall in Gangnam Station."
"There's not much time left."
This time, Choi Yuna showed the event's progress sheet.
"Hong Ji-young will see the society. Hong Ji-young has hosted several university festivals."
When I looked at Hong Ji-young, she crouched shyly and stuck out her tongue.
Hong Ji-young also seemed to be full of cuteness at times like this.
"At first, Mr. Chang says hello. You're acting as head of fund management at J.S. Invest, right?
"Yes, I'll just say thank you briefly for coming."
"Well, that'll do."
"Next, Choi Yuna, J.S. Invest's overseas fund manager, will explain recent trends in the 30 Dow Jones companies, NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 index."
"Customers invest a lot in fund managers, so wouldn't it be better to briefly introduce Choi Yuna's resume?”
"I've decided to do that's what I'm going to do. Choi Yuna said no at first, but she agreed with the idea that it would be better to put it in. Hong Ji-young, the host of the show, will introduce you to us."
"I graduated from an American university, earned an MBA degree from an American university, worked at a global bank, and now I'm J.S. Invest's overseas fund manager, I think that would be a good idea.”
I said this with a smile.
"But in front of the boss, I'm a kkumgang."
Choi Yuna asked the question with a puzzled look on her face.
"What's with you?"
The whole crowd laughed at this remark.
Choi Yu-na lived in the U.S. for a long time, so she didn't seem to know much about being a geek.
This time, Song, who recently made money with theme stocks, said.
"Is it just Choi Yuna? When it comes to stocks, we're all in front of the boss."
I thought these elites were making fun of me when they said this about me who was insignificant.
But I didn't hate it. When it comes to stocks, I also thought I was a little ahead of them. Am I not a specially trained person of legendary investor Mrs. Baek?
Chang's words continued.
"And after Choi Yuna's explanation, there is an introduction to JS Invest's fund manager. I'll introduce myself, Director Jung, Director Song, Mr. Kim Hyung-sook, and Mr. Hong Ji-young in order. I'm going to introduce you to your educational background and career."
I think their careers and educational backgrounds will appeal to people who have seen newspaper ads, including Mom Cafe.
It occurred to me that I shouldn't go out for a position like this.
"And then there's a Q&A session. Only three to five people will receive a short Q&A session."
"You'll have to answer the questions without any hesitation.”
"Lastly, there will be group counseling. We'll make sure we get the investment agreement there."
I nodded.
"This event is going to be a good one because everyone is working so hard. By the way, I have an appointment on the 25th of this day, so I won't go to the 25th. Please understand."
I said I wouldn't go out on purpose.
But I didn't want to stress the employees.
However, during the Q&A session at the event, I thought it would be nice for foreigners to ask questions in English. And I thought that if Choi Yuna answers in English, she would really look like an internationally moving person. Then I thought it would be a perfect score.
Also, I thought it would be good if Hong Ji-young translated what she said in English. It was because Choi Yuna once said that Hong Ji-young can't speak English, but she can understand it well.
I thought of someone to serve as a questioner. He was either Yoon or Oh Mi-hyang.
Yoon and Oh Mi-hyang were better speakers of American than Korean.
"Yes, let's call in lawyer Yoon or Oh Mi-hyang and ask her to ask them to ask questions in English.”
But these people are foreigners with black hair, so I thought it wouldn't be fun.
I wanted to invite a real American.
"Oh, by the way, let's ask him!"
I was reminded of Donald Cram, a lecturer at the Yeouido English Academy.
