"How is it?"

"……."

Yu Areum went over the study carefully.

"As you instructed, the walls have been done in eco-friendly paint, and the left-hand wall finished with the solid-wood shelving you specified. The floor has been waxed and has come up clean."

Listening to the account, Yu Areum ran her eye into every corner.

Clean, as expected, without a speck of dust on it.

"I got a specialist firm in and had the exterior cleaning and painting finished at express rate as well. The outside car park has been resurfaced and the bays repainted. In the underground car park, as you instructed, the cleaning and painting are done and every light has been changed to LED."

A man in his late fifties, explaining how the work has gone with a confident manner about him.

He is Jo Dongchan, chief of a contracting firm that specialises in department store units.

Who on earth is this?

Chief Jo Dongchan had been very curious about the client while the work went on.

With the slump putting interior costs up as well, the work had fallen away sharply.

And then by good fortune he was handed a job this large.

Following on from last month, he is running three jobs one after another and bringing them to a finish.

He takes on work like this very rarely.

It happens when shoppers place the work on behalf of VIP clients who have asked for it.

Because the men who specialise in the exacting business of fitting out department store units are quick-handed and clean.

But the size is never this large.

As of yesterday the work on the Signiel super penthouse is finished as well.

It is a piece staged by working day and night.

The period was short, but the cost of the work came to a full one and a half billion. The materials used were all of the highest grade.

That figure does not include the small interior pieces that go inside.

And no sooner was the penthouse work finished than another job was placed with him.

This time a building…
