Episode 241: It’s not a bachelor party
Mina was surprised to receive a call from Sally.
‘Does it look like your brother is really trying to sell the ship? ‘In the middle of America?’
Rather than saying it was absurd, I laughed.
‘Oppa, they say you are a dutiful son whether you know it or not. He tried not to do that, but he ended up doing as his mother said.’
Mina thought Dojun was like a tsundere.
‘But you’re shouting ‘Buy a Ham’ in the middle of New York?’
Mina had fun just imagining it. However, there was a problem.
‘My step-sister is asking for help.’
It was an event that was very unfamiliar to Americans. Moreover, since the bride’s house said there were a lot of things to prepare, it was natural to feel embarrassed.
So Sally asked Mina for help.
‘Today is September 20th.’
Anyway, Mina is leaving the company at the end of September. He decided to transfer to Dongwha PLUS, where Dojun is the majority shareholder.
‘okay. It’s our first break in several years, so let’s use this opportunity to make an excuse to be with my new sister and go on a trip to America.’
Mina made up her mind and sent a text to Sally.
[Mina: New sister, I’m going. By the way, ‘Buy Ham’ is difficult to pronounce. How about calling it ‘Ham Party’?]
[Sally: Mina, thank you so much. And Ham Party? Is it really good? From now on, I will call it Ham Party.]
Mina talked to Sally about the ‘Ham Party’. As a result, before she knew it, it was 6pm and it was time to get off work.
“Ugh! “I’m off work!”
The handover to the new employee has also been completed. Now, just a few days later, I’ll be with my current company forever, bye-bye.
‘I was sick of it, my first company.’
It was a company where I learned a lot and was scolded a lot.
‘It was very difficult to work overtime and on weekends every day, but I was really happy when the clothes I designed came out on the market.’
Mina stood up, recalling her work life.
But that was then. Manager Kim Yeo-jin of the design department approached Mina.
“Mina, are you getting off work today?”
“yes.”
“hmm. Mina, everyone else is working overtime? “Don’t you have to work hard until you leave the company?”
“Are you telling me to work overtime? I don’t think that will work. “I have an appointment today.”
At Mina’s words, Manager Kim Yeo-jin’s eyes became harsh.
“Mina, I thought you became a member of society all this time? “I guess not yet?”
“yes?”
“Even if you leave the company, won’t you still be in this line?”
“that… “Isn’t that right?”
“This floor is narrow. And as you know, I have a wide network. “You understand what I’m talking about at this level, right?”
Mina was dumbfounded.
‘Are you threatening me now?’
It was already time to leave. Moreover, his older brother was the owner of the new company.
‘Should I just hit it and throw it away?’
When Mina made that decision, it showed on her face. Manager Kim quickly dismissed him and changed his words.
“good. Mr. Mina. Well then, let me ask you a favor instead of working overtime. “Please postpone my resignation for just a few days.”
“yes?”
Mina was dumbfounded.
‘No, wasn’t this an urban legend? Was there really someone who asked the person who was leaving the company to work more?’
“why?”
“I have to finish this project. Everyone works overtime because of that, right? “You’re in charge of Mina, right?”
“It’s the manager who always said he doesn’t do anything special. And I’m not suddenly leaving the company. “He told me he was leaving a month ago.”
“Mina, that’s why I’m asking you a favor. ask? Don’t you know Korean? ask?”
Mina was confused as to whether this was a request or a threat.
“I can’t do it, Chief.”
“ha. Even though I asked you this, you still refuse? good. Mr. Mina. I’ll be honest. I’m getting married in two months. However, if Mina leaves the company, I don’t know when the project will be finished. Let’s finish this project together. So please postpone your resignation. Or, you can work part-time for a while after leaving the company.”
Although she was momentarily surprised that Manager Kim, an old maid, was getting married, Mina said firmly.
“You don’t like it? “And I also don’t have time because of my brother’s wedding.”
“If it’s your brother, Mina, you’re not married, right? Is this really going to happen? “If this continues, I won’t be able to stay still.”
“I’m busy because my step-sister asked me to help.”
“New sister? By the way, where is the step-sister who is asking me to help my soon-to-be sister-in-law? If you avoided it, you avoided it, right? “Now that I see it, you didn’t want to help me, so I faked your marriage, didn’t you?”
Mina was dumbfounded.
“You’ve already finished preparing the wedding hall? “What’s a lie?”
This is usually overlooked, but Manager Kim was persistent.
“okay? Where is the wedding hall? I’ll give it a try. If it’s a lie, Mina. “She has to delay leaving, okay?”
Mina snorted and said.
“You want to call and find out? “What if I don’t recognize you?”
“Are you getting married on an island with no phone service?”
“no. “We do it in the most developed place in the world.”
Manager Kim burst out laughing at Mina’s words.
“The most developed place in the world? Mina, do you think your brother is getting married in New York somewhere?”
“It’s similar.”
“Is it similar? Okay, tell me. Where is the wedding hall?”
Mina answered, looking straight at Manager Kim.
“The White House.”

After returning home after meeting with his brother and king, President Khalifa, Mansour sat down on the sofa and smiled broadly.
“Did anything good happen today?”
Mansour laughed and said at the words of Mansour’s first wife, Princess Alia of Abu Dhabi.
“There are so many people who want to invest in our investment company. “Even ten bodies are not enough.”
“Isn’t that a good thing? I already heard that your name was on Forbes’ list of the most profitable investors. “I congratulate you.”
Mansur said, putting one of the dates Alia brought into his mouth.
“Madam, don’t you know the truth? “It’s not because of me that she did well, it’s because of Dojun.”
“Of course, it is true that his help was great. But it’s all your ability to take that information and grow it to this level.”
Mansoor felt at ease with Alia’s words that always made him feel good.
“But if it weren’t for Dojun, it wouldn’t have gotten this big. Last year, people probably died from the swine flu.”
The swine flu that struck the world in 2009 also came to the UAE. However, Mansour had already secured a significant number of swine flu supplies and treated citizens suffering from swine flu.
This had a huge impact on the UAE people.
[The royal family protects the people.]
Public support for the royal family soared, and Mansour’s power also grew stronger.
“That’s right. “Dojun really seems like a person sent from heaven.”
“okay. “That’s the problem.”
“yes?”
“You’re so outstanding, even if I wanted to do something for you, there’s nothing I can do for you. I already have a lot of money and a lot of businesses I own. “All I can do is share in the profits I have earned, and as a royal, I am truly embarrassed.”
Alia said, holding Mansour’s hand.
“The day will come when I can help.”
“okay. It will come. But I don’t know when that day will come.”
It was then. Mansour’s phone rang. Mansour was surprised when he saw the screen.
“haha. There’s a Korean proverb that says even a tiger will come if you say the right thing. That’s right. “It’s Dojun.”
Mansour answered the phone right away. The two happily asked each other how they were doing.
Then, when Do-jun announced the marriage news, Mansour was surprised.
“what? “You’re getting married in about a month?”
– I’m sorry, Crown Prince. “I contacted you too late because of work in the United States.”
“No. “Aren’t you a busy person too?”
-Thank you for your understanding. Still, please know this. I contacted Crown Prince Mansour first.
Mansour was moved to tears when he heard Dojun say he was the first to contact him.
– I know that Emperor Wang is busy. Congratulations on appearing in Forbes. I will come to the UAE after the wedding to receive the congratulatory gift.
“That’s natural. “What should we do with this?”
Mansour thought for a moment.
‘Dojun is getting married?’
In fact, Mansour was busy. Mansour was scheduling by the minute, and his appointments were scheduled for six months. Of course, there was no time after a month.
‘But I can’t not go to Dojun’s wedding. It’s a promise, you can adjust it. But what should I give you as a wedding gift?’
Mansour thought about it and decided to ask directly.
“Dojun, I will definitely attend the wedding.”
– yes? Aren’t you busy?
“No matter how busy I am, I can’t miss your wedding. By the way, can you tell me how you are going to conduct this wedding?”
Dojun answered in a dazed voice.
– Well, it’s normal. What’s unique about it is that it’s a bit different at the White House.
“White House? haha. “It looks like you already have a connection with the Obama administration.”
– yes. This time, I did some work, and they asked me to use the White House, so I said, ‘Thank you.’
Mansour chuckled.
‘Is that possible? What kind of person is Obama? He must have done something great for the US government, by the way, to give up the White House.’
It was Mansour who once again felt that Dojun’s abilities were amazing.
“If you get married in the United States, won’t your relatives or acquaintances be able to come? Are you okay?”
– ah. We invited only those who had time. While you are here, I would like to give you a tour of the United States.
Mansour’s eyes lit up at Dojun’s words.
“okay? “How many people do you plan to invite?”
– About 50 people?
“50 people? “Will it be enough?”
– yes?
“We will send a plane from the United Arab Emirates airline. An A380 can carry up to 800 people. “I will also plan your trip to the United States.”
Dojun shouted in surprise.
– yes? 800 people?
“Why write it down?”
– no! There are too many. There are only 50 people.
“Be more inviting. I’ll pay all the money, so feel free to invite me. Oh, and that’s it. If you get married in America, don’t you have to have a party? Don’t we have bachelor parties in America? “If you want, I will open it to you in the highest class.”
Dojun spoke quickly, not knowing what Mansour would say.
– No parties. After the wedding, we will go on our honeymoon right after a brief party.
“Where are you going on your honeymoon?”
– I won’t tell you. I’m afraid of what the Crown Prince will say. I’ll let you know when I come on the wedding day.
Mansour, who had planned to give Do-jun a wonderful honeymoon package, felt sad.
“It’s a shame.”
– Well, instead of a bachelor party, we will have a traditional Korean ceremony called ‘Buy Ham.’ If it were a party, it would be a party.
“Are you buying a ship?”
– ah! That’s what it is.
Dojun explained what ‘ham’ is. After hearing the explanation, Mansour’s eyes flashed.
“That would be really fun.”
* * *
Dojun eventually decided to do it after his parents persuaded him.
‘Doing something isn’t a big deal, but the problem is people.’
Since it was done in the US, I had to bring someone from the US.
‘Who is better? I think there should be at least three men.’
While Dojun was thinking, two people came to mind.
‘William, Snowden.’
William was the person I liked the most out of all the people I met in America. He also followed Dojun the best.
‘He’s someone who will give me permission without hesitation if I ask for it. But I might be busy, so let me ask.’
Dojun called William right away. He asked me how I was doing and he told me that he was marrying Sally.
– Congratulations. Congratulations. I’m definitely going to the wedding!
“thank you. “But William, I have one more favor to ask you.”
Dojun said that he needed someone to act as a ‘ham catcher’.
– I don’t understand. But thank you for having me. Wearing a squid mask is not difficult. You can also carry a bag on your back. I can do it. I will definitely do it.
William readily agreed.
Next was Snowden. When Do Jun contacted Snowden and told him about the ‘ham’, Snowden said it would be fun and insisted that he do it.
– therefore? It means selling the box to the bride’s house. Shouting loudly, ‘Buy it!’ So the bride’s family is coming to buy something with money, alcohol, and food?
“that’s right. Instead, you should do it in moderation, in moderation.”
– haha. okay. I’ll do it in moderation. Moderately! Really in moderation!
Dojun was uneasy about Snowden’s words, but he thought he would do well.
‘Well, that’s it for William and Snowden, I guess I just need to call one more person.’
I couldn’t think of anyone suitable.
‘Eight. Two people are enough.’
Dojun concluded this and contacted his acquaintances living in the United States one by one.
I contacted Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and I also contacted Amazon’s best friend, Manufacturing. He also contacted Google’s Larry Page. Apple’s Steve Jobs also contacted us.
‘no. But why are all these people asking about the bachelor party?’
As if it was obvious, everyone asked me if I was going to have a bachelor party.
Do-jun, who was annoyed, answered that he would not have a bachelor party and would rather have a ‘ham party’ before the wedding. When I told them it was Korean traditional culture, everyone was curious and asked what ‘ham party’ was.
Then everyone asked if they could go to the ‘Ham Party’.
‘no way. Where do all the busy people come? Well, it’s probably lip service. Still, I’m glad that everyone says the wedding will come somehow.’
I was worried that there would be few guests from the groom’s family, but it seemed like there would be more people than expected.
‘by the way? You’re not really coming to Ham’s party, are you?’
Worried, Dojun contacted Sally.
“Sally, two of my friends are coming to Hamm’s party, but I don’t know how many more will come. “Just prepare a little more food.”
– okay? I already heard that my father’s friend is coming too. okay! don’t worry!
At this time, Dojun didn’t know. What is the scope of Sally’s father’s acquaintances?
* * *
Dojun drew a line on A4. It was a printout of Dojun’s cell phone contact information.
There were numerous names of foreigners written on A4 paper, but the people Dojun had contacted were lined out, and the people he had not contacted yet were not lined out.
‘phew. I think we’re almost done now.’
There were still a few people left, but they were either uncontactable or difficult to contact.
‘I’ll finish contacting foreigners by today, and starting tomorrow I’ll start contacting Koreans.’
Korean people planned to meet Dojun in person and hand out wedding invitations.
‘Anyway, I made a big mistake. ‘I didn’t know that American wedding invitation culture was different from Korea.’
America sent out wedding invitations about four months before the wedding. And about a month before the wedding, we circulated invitations again.
It was a wedding invitation asking if I would really come to the wedding.
‘In Korea, guests are accepted as they arrive, but in the United States, weddings are held after calculating the exact number.’
Only then did Dojun understand why Sally was in such a hurry to make a reservation for the wedding hall.
‘Well, I guess I’ll have to finish the job now.’
Dojun looked at the remaining list and suddenly stopped at one name.
The remaining people were people living in China, and it was because I couldn’t take my eyes off one name.
‘Ma Huateng.’
Dojun recalled a conversation he had with Wilson not long ago.
‘The beginning of all problems is Zhang Linfeng. But in the end, it all boils down to 100 cents and Ma Huateng.’
The CIA director contacted me a few days ago and said that he had identified Zhang Linfeng’s location.
‘You said Zhang Linfeng’s car fell off a cliff, right? The car exploded, and there was only a burned body in the driver’s seat, presumed to be Zhang Linfeng.’
According to common sense, it was correct to assume that Zhang Linfeng was dead. But Dojun kept thinking about Wilson’s words.
– That guy, his vitality is strangely tenacious.
For some reason, Taojun also thought that Zhang Linfeng might be alive somewhere.
‘Is he alive? Or is he really dead? ‘If he lived, where would he be?’
Dojun looked at the contact list again.
“Perhaps Ma Huateng would know?”
Dojun thought for a while and then dialed the number. There were a few beeps and the person on the other end answered the phone.
– This is Ma Huateng.
