Park Wai-jin took out his mobile phone in front of Guo Dae-jin, and he called the chief interviewer in charge of the interview of the Planning and Operation Corporation.

"Hey, Minister Li, when is the interview time for your new employee recruitment in the Planning and Operation Corporation? 22nd? Okay, Minister Li is like this, in order to ensure the fairness of the interview, I decided to be the main interviewer in person, you arrange the interview process, okay, that's all. ”

Guo Dahai patted Park Weizhen on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Director Park, you have a very strong work ability, I remember it." ”

"Yes, thank you, Sir, for the compliment."

Park Weizhen felt that he was only one step away from becoming a regular.

……

Yongsan-gu, Seoul

On the day of Pei Xiubin's interview, Guo Dahai went to Xu Minzhen's home in Yongshan District with gifts to visit his future father-in-law, Xu Qingpei.

Born in 1963, Seo Kyung-bae is 55 years old this year, which is the 'year of fighting' for men, and the club is thriving under his leadership, but it is a pity that Amorepacific Group's market value has shrunk a little since last year due to the SD incident, but it is still the leader of Korean cosmetics, and its market value is approaching 10 trillion won, which is a medium-sized and large company.

Seo Kyung-bae's wife, Shin Yoon-kyung, is the second daughter of Shin Chun-ho, the founder of Nongshim Group, and coincidentally, Seo Kyung-bae himself is also the youngest child of the Xu family, and he has an older brother Seo Young-pei, but Seo Young-bae inherited the financial, construction, and metal subsidiaries of Amorepacific Group, and the group was later renamed Pacific Development Corporation, and Seo Young-bae's wife is Fang Hye-kyung, the eldest daughter of Chosun Ilbo founder Bong You-young.

"Hello uncle and aunt."

Xu Qingpei's first impression of Guo Dahai was that he was polite, while Xin Yunjing's first impression was that of an ordinary Mrs. Kuo, and he saluted the two of them.

"Hello, Chief Guo."

Xu Minzhen heard her father call Guo Dahai like this, and she said unhappily: "Abba, why are you so called so foreign." ”

"Yes, uncle, please feel free."

"Well, the sea, you're welcome."

Xu Qingpei stretched out his hand to shake hands with Guo Dahai and expressed his welcome.

"Oba, you and my Abba go sit in the living room for a while, and I'll go and bring you fruit."

Xu Minzhen and her mother went to the kitchen to prepare fruits, she took out the newly bought Huaguo tea and made a cup of black tea for Guo Dahai, and then she ran a cup of coffee for her father.

"Abba, coffee."

Xu Minzhen brought the coffee to her father first.

"Oba, your tea."

"Thank you."

Xu Qingpei looked at his daughter's happy face, and he smiled and said, "This tea was bought by our Minzhen yesterday in Incheon Chinatown. ”

"Yes."

Guo Dahai didn't know what to say, he could only express his mood with a smile.

"The sea, how is your body recovering?"

"Thank you uncle for your concern, I am recovering well."

As she spoke, Guo Dahai and Xu Minzhen glanced at each other, and the other party instantly remembered what happened in the apartment a few days ago, and she lowered her head and smiled.

"That's good, after President Gu Benjie of LF Group learned that you were dating our Minzhen, he also made a special call to express his apologies to our Minzhen."

"Yes."

"There is a 5-year age difference between our Min-jeong and LG Group Chairman Goo Yeon-so, and she is 27 years old this year, so we parents naturally hope that she can start a family as soon as possible."

Xu Qingpei is reminding Guo Dahai that he should think about his marriage with Xu Minjing, and Xu Minzhen will be almost thirty years old if he drags it on.

"Yes, I'll discuss our life events with Minzhen."

"Yesterday, the president of the LF Food Club came to me, and he wanted to meet you, what do you mean?"

"I don't have anything, it's all up to your uncle."

"Actually, it's not just the president of the LF Food Club, but the president of our food club, the president of our food club, Komoto Cheng, who also called me, and he wants to meet with you."

"In that case, uncle, you might as well invite them together to meet me, anyway, they are all members of the Gu family."

Guo Dahai is begging for it, and it is not a pleasure to watch the Gu family fight for your death in front of him.

"Minzhen also mentioned to me this, if you want the sea, I plan to ask them to play golf tomorrow, you meet and chat there, what do you think of the sea?"

Seo Kyung-bae learned about Kwok's idea from his daughter, and he also knew that Cheong Wa Dae was targeting those large family businesses, and that their Seo family's Amorepacific Group was not part of Cheong Wa Dae's plan, and with Kwok Dae's help, he could take this opportunity to expand the company's business.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Okay, then it's settled."

At noon, Guo Dahai and Xu Minzhen's family had lunch at home, and the chef was Xu Minzhen's chef invited from the Shilla Hotel, and the dishes were mainly Western and Korean food.

"Dahai, when will we and Huaguo return to normal?"

While eating, Xu Qingpei asked.

"Your Excellency the President is working on this, and I believe that it will not be long before our two countries will gradually return to the way they used to be."

"It may be a bit inappropriate for me to say this, but I'd like to ask for your opinion, don't mind."

"Yes, if you have any questions about my uncle, please feel free to ask me."

"Since we withdrew from the Chinese market last year, the loss is really not small, Minzhen is trying to replace the Chinese market with the Southeast Asian market, according to the current situation, little effect, do you think we need to increase our efforts to invest in the Southeast Asian market?"

Dare to love Xu Qingpei is asking about his business, Guo Dahai looked at Xu Minzhen and said: "Uncle, I am not a businessman, I can only talk about my understanding." ”

"Of course, you can say whatever you think about the sea, there are no outsiders here."

"Yes, I think you can continue to open up the Southeast Asian market, but definitely don't increase your investment, because once we restore the relationship between China and South Korea, you can re-increase your investment in the Chinese market."

"Abba, let's have some food for Oba first."

Xu Minzhen put some food for Guo Dahai, Xu Qingpei smiled and said, "Are you no longer on my side now?" ”

"I don't have it."

I have to say that the relationship between Xu Qingpei and Xu Minzhen is very good, and there is no restraint when the father and daughter talk to each other.

After eating for a while, Xu Qingpei continued to ask: "Minzhen said that you know the sea very well about Chinese culture, how do you think we should achieve effective publicity and investment?" ”

"The attitude of the Chinese towards foreigners is, 'You respect me, I respect you', which means that if you are kind to them, they will be doubly good to you, so I think that from now on, you can invest money to increase Amorepacific Group's publicity efforts in China, such as donating money to poor areas in China, and if there is a major natural disaster in China, you can also donate to the affected areas and people in the name of Amorepacific Group. ”

Guo Dahai's words made Xu Qingpei feel a sense of sudden enlightenment, and he nodded straight and said, "Dahai, your suggestion is very good, I will consider it seriously, thank you." ”

"It's nothing, uncle, you're welcome."

"Hahaha...... In the future, if you don't want to go into politics, come to the club to help Minzhen. ”

"Yes, if there was such a day, I would have seriously considered it."

It is easier to get along with Xu Qingpei's family, and the other party may be because he does not have a son, so his attitude towards Guo Dahai is also extremely polite and friendly, and he can hardly hear any command tone from his mouth.

Yongin, Gyeonggi-do

Xu Qingpei set the meeting place at the Southern Country Golf Club next to the Korean Folk Village in Yongin City, Guo Dahai planned to set off there with Xu Minzhen after ten o'clock in the morning, he wanted Gu Benjie and the others to wait a little longer, which was also Xu Qingpei's idea.

At nine o'clock, Gu Benzhen and Xu Qingpei arrived almost at the same time, and the two of them were all smiling when they met, "President Xu, hello." ”

"Hello, President Goo."

Not long after saying hello, the smile on Goomotojin's face soon came to an abrupt halt with the arrival of a person, and that person was Goo Motocheng, the president of our home food club.

"Hello, brother."

Gu Benzhen had to say hello to his brother Gu Bencheng.

"This town, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"

Gu Bencheng was also quite surprised when he saw Gu Benzhen.

"Yes, how is my brother doing lately?"

"That's it."

Saying that, both of them looked at Xu Qingpei suspiciously, and Gu Bencheng asked, "President Xu, when will Chief Guo come over?" ”

Xu Qingpei looked at the time and said, "It should be soon." ”

The three of them went to the rest area and sat down to drink coffee while waiting for Guo Dae's arrival, while Goo Ben-jin and Seo Kyung-bae talked about Amorepacific Group's cosmetics being advertised on their shopping platforms.

"Chairman Seo, we at LF Group and your Amorepacific Group have always cooperated, and when my brother knew that I was here to meet you today, he specifically asked me that we could promote you for free in the first issue."

Gu Benzhen took the lead in showing his sincerity, and Xu Qingpei pretended to be surprised and said: "President Gu, the time of the first phase is three months, does President Gu really want to promote our products for free?" ”

"Of course."

Looking at the smile on Gu Benzhen's face, Gu Bencheng knew what the other party meant, and he interjected: "By the way, Benzhen, it seems that your LF Food Club is not qualified to participate in the procurement qualification of food suppliers for next year's Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, right?" ”

"yes."

Gu Benzhen said with a dry smile.

"Could it be that you came to see Chief Guo today to ask Chief Guo to revise the documents that have been released?"

"No, I'm just here to play golf with President Xu, and by the way, I met with Chief Guo, didn't Cheng Mo accidentally hurt Chief Guo last time, and I apologize to Chief Guo for my nephew by the way."

"Speaking of Cheng Mo, his luck is really good, Chief Guo didn't pursue it again."

"That's Chief Guo, who has a lot, how can he deal with a child."

"Kid? Is it still a kid at 25? ”

Gu Bencheng was obviously worried that Gu Benzhen would put pressure on Guo Dahai by Xu Qingpei's face, and Xu Qingpei saw the performance of both of them.

Thinking that the time was about the same, Xu Qingpei said with a smile: "I'll call Minzhen and ask where they are." ”

"Yes."

Gu Bencheng and Gu Benzhen gave up their dispute for the time being, and they waited for Xu Qingpei's call.

"Hey, Minzhen, where have you been? Is it? When do you depart? Okay, I know, then I'll start with President Gu first, okay. ”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingpei smiled apologetically and said, "Two presidents Gu, I'm really embarrassed, just now we Minzhen said that Chief Guo was temporarily called to the Blue House by the president." ”

"Really? Chief Guo's business is important, let's wait. ”

Gu Ben Chengxian said.

The other side

originally planned to leave on time with Xu Minzhen at ten o'clock, but before leaving, Guo Dahai received a call from Ren Zhonghui, who asked him to come to the Blue House immediately, and Guo Dahai immediately asked Cui Rengeng to send him to the Blue House to meet Ren Zhonghui.

In the Blue House conference room, when Guo Dahai arrived, he found that in addition to Ren Zhonghui, there were three other ministers, Kang Kyung-hwa, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kim Fuqian, the head of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, and Cho Myung-gyun, the head of the Unification Ministry, who were discussing matters inside.

"Hello, sir."

Guo Dahai found a vacant seat and sat down, and he nodded to Kang Jinghe and the others.

"Okay, let's continue with what we just said, Your Excellency the President plans to visit North Korea next year, Chief Kang, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for releasing our friendly attitude toward North Korea through diplomatic means; Chief Cho, your Unification Department is responsible for communicating with the North Korean side to confirm the other side's attitude, and if the other side is willing to accept our visit, then the Unification Department will negotiate with the other side on the itinerary to determine the time of the visit. Chief Kim, your Ministry of Administration and Security is responsible for the security of the President's trip, and as for the Ministry of National Defense, I will tell you separately what needs to be done when the new chief candidate is confirmed. ”

After Ren Zhonghui finished speaking, Guo Dahai had a plan in his heart, and it turned out that the other party called him to discuss his visit to North Korea next year.

Could it be that the President wants me to go with him?

With doubts, Guo Dahai looked at Ren Zhonghui and asked, "Director Ren, what should we do in the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism?" ”

"Mr. Guo, the work of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is the top priority, and the President said that he hopes that before his visit to North Korea next year, your Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will take the lead in leading a delegation to North Korea to conduct cultural and artistic exchanges with North Korea, so as to make a good start for the President's foreign visit.

"Yes, no problem, and I hope that the other three governors can support the work of our Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism."

Guo Dahai had to agree whether he could do it or not, but sending a mission to North Korea could not be left to one department of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, so he told the other three chiefs.
