“I will do as you say. Instead, there is one condition.”
“Condition?”
“My father, please don’t choose me to be the head of Dubai. I went back to Korea and I think it would be sad without my father.”
Lee Jang-woo said with a rather serious look. The face I miss my father
“I will do as you say.”
At that moment, Lee Jang-woo’s expression brightened.
“That’s it. Dubai is my responsibility!”
Lee Jang-woo said with a smirk as usual.

Before leaving Dubai, there is one more thing left to do.
Had to say goodbye to Dubai Prince Mohammad.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mohammad greeted me as I entered the Royal Palace of Dubai.
The days of seeing his mustache are few days away.
“It has been a lot of hard work.”
“Thanks to the prince, the job was completed safely.”
“It’s my fault. It was all done by Kim Deok-myung.”
I went into the living room with him. The table was full of salads.
“It’s a salad from a Dubai growing facility. You can feel the freshness just by looking at it.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mohammad smiled broadly. As he said, just looking at the salad made me feel better.
It looked like it was put on purpose to show me.
“The cultivation facilities created by Kim Deok-myeong will change Dubai. Dubai agriculture, which relied solely on exports, will also change.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mohammad said with strength in his voice. He was more concerned about agriculture than the king of Dubai, Ismail.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mohammad created a distribution company while the growing facility was being completed.
It was a company that would distribute salads produced in Dubai’s growing facilities.
It was a state-owned company and was directly managed by Mohammad.
“I heard that urban beekeeping is also going well.”
“Right now, we are running a pilot site. We will gradually expand the scope. We will also send beekeepers to Dubai in the near future.”
“very good. Do you remember what I said to Kim Deok-myeong in Antarctica?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mohammad looked into my eyes and asked.
“Didn’t you say he was a man who made gold out of dust?”
“I remember. At the time, it was just a faint feeling, but now it has turned into a sure belief. Now, I can believe that Kim Deok-myeong grows salads in space.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mohammad said with a smirk as if he was in a good mood.

The day to return to Korea has been set.
Jang-woo Lee chatted with me all night the day before he left.
Lee Jang-woo’s eyelids were locked as he fell asleep.
“Now go and sleep.”
“no no. I am not sleepy.”
Lee Jang-woo opened his eyes wide and said.
“You were still sleeping.”
“I haven’t slept.”
“Are you so sorry?”
“It is true that I am a little sad. My drinking buddy is leaving.”
Lee Jang-woo blinked his eyes and said. He thought he was going to fall asleep soon, but he held on to the end.
We stayed up all night talking about everything from Antarctica to life in Dubai.
The next morning, I headed to Dubai International Airport with the young farmers to return to Korea.
Lee Jang-woo was seen off to the airport.
“Say my regards to your father.”
Lee Jang-woo waved his hand and said with a nostalgic face.

When we arrived at Incheon Airport, the reporters were encamped.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
More than the number of days I left for Dubai.
Since it was widely reported in the foreign press, the status of the farmers in Mt. Jiri was higher.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My body was a little tired, but my mind was relaxed. I kindly answered each reporter’s questions one by one.
Han Gi-tak got on the bus he had prepared in advance and went down to Hadong.
The seasons were passing from spring to summer.
Arriving in Hadong, I greeted my parents and headed to the office.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My colleagues were waiting for me.
Everyone greeted me with clapping hands.
Han Ki-tak patted my back and said.
“Good work.”
“By the way, can’t you see our Jangwoo?”
Lee Dong-chun looked around and asked. He seemed to have expected that Lee Jang-woo would also come.
“Mr. Jang-Woo Lee has decided to stay in Dubai a little longer.”
“is that so?”
Lee Dong-chun has a very sad face.
“Jang-woo asked his father to say hello.”
“Are you in good health?”
I showed Lee Dong-chun the picture we took together. It was a photo taken with the Dubai growing facility in the background.
Lee Dong-chun said looking at the picture.
“Your face is very burnt.”
“Dubai’s sunlight is so strong.”
“It’s good that you look healthy though.”
Lee Dong-chun looked at the picture and soothed his regret.
“Oh, we should go to our cultivation facility.”
Han Ki-tak looked at me and said.
“Is the construction finished now?”
“There is still a little bit of finishing work left. Just a little more and it will be over.”
I headed to the Hadong cultivation facility with Han Gi-tak.
Han Gi-tak said on the way.
“If things went as usual, the construction would have been completed. Because, as you know, it was due to close at about the same time as the Dubai planting facility.”
I was skeptical of that too. I thought that the Hadong cultivation facility construction would be finished.
Han Gi-tak explained why the construction was delayed.
“Actually, it was delayed because of engineer Lee Dong-chun’s opinion.”
“What do you think?”
“They told me to set up a research facility that makes a salad planter for home use.”
“It is.”
When I first built the planting facility, I didn’t think of making a salad planter for home use.
Things changed after the Amsterdam Fair.
“While you were in Dubai, we sent a home salad grower back to Germany.”
Heidi More, the CEO of the Deutsche Company, requested that the salad grower be remade in accordance with European standards.
It was a message that was delivered to Han Gi-tak before leaving for Dubai.
Unlike salad containers, household salad growers fit into household appliances.
It had to pass strict regulations in the European market.
While we were talking, we arrived at the Hadong Cultivation Facility. As Han Ki-tak said, the construction is still in progress.
Unlike Dubai, cultivation facilities, research buildings, and office buildings were being built together.
I said looking at the scene.
“It makes me feel good just looking at it.”
It is a cultivation facility made by our own strength.
Dubai’s cultivation facilities were not enviable.
Han Ki-tak looked at the scene and said.
“There were foreign reporters here.”
“Did foreign journalists come here?”
“After the report that the Dubai cultivation facility was completed, foreign reporters came. The reporters found only CEO Kim Deok-myeong and scolded him.”
Han Ki-tak said with a smile.
“What did the reporters say?”
“Didn’t you ask why the farmers in Jirisan became internationally successful?”
“What did you say?”
“What can I say, it was all thanks to our CEO Kim Deok-myung.”
Han Ki-tak said with a shiver.
Hearing his jokes made me feel like I was back in Korea.
“Hey, how are things going in America?”
In Dubai, I told Han Gi-tak about Jeon Hae-ri’s work. Han Ki-tak also agreed that she needed her to enter the US market.
“Harry did a good job. I think the establishment of an American corporation is also going to happen sooner than I thought.”
“I think we should send someone from our side to America as well.”
“If you send all the people abroad, who will protect Hadong?”
Han Ki-tak asked in a playful tone.
“We just need to recruit more young farmers.”
“Then Hadong will be full of farmers from Jirisan.”

That evening, I had dinner with my parents.
I ate food from all over the world in Dubai, but my mother’s home-cooked food is the best.
It’s when you’re eating spicy stir-fried squid with soybean paste stew.
The phone rang.
“Deokmyeong-ah, I got a call.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My mother looked at the phone on the floor and said,
I picked up the phone while eating.
It’s an international call. I immediately pressed the call button.
“CEO, can you speak on the phone?”
It was Park Tae-ho, who was dispatched to Germany. The tone of his voice was high. He seemed excited.
“yes. Available.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My parents also looked at me without eating.
“We can now sell our home salad growers in Europe.”
“Is that really true?”
“yes. You have completed all necessary procedures. Now we just need to get things out.”
“Good news!”
When I finished the call, my father looked at me and asked.
“What news?”
“It’s good news that we can sell salad growers made by farmers in Jirisan in Europe.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Moving on a rainy day will make you rich
He shared the good news with his colleagues.
“We are now able to sell our home salad growers in Europe.”
All my colleagues were delighted. From the Dubai planting facility to the home salad grower, it would not have been possible without their efforts.
The household salad grower sold in Europe will be produced and sold through a joint venture with the Deutsche Company.
Hadong will focus on upgrading the technology of home salad growers.
Lee Dong-chun’s lips rose high in the sky as if he was in a good mood.
“Wouldn’t it be better to have a dinner party on a day like today? To commemorate the completion of the Dubai cultivation facility.”
Then Han Gi-tak appeared.
“How about having a dinner party after the Hadong cultivation facility is finished?”
Han Gi-tak nodded his head as if in agreement with everyone’s words.
Lee Dong-chun said with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Well, I think it would be nice to have a dinner party after our cultivation facility is completed.”
“Then, after the Hadong cultivation facility is completed, we will have a big dinner for all employees!”
Han Gi-tak exclaimed as if proclaiming.
I gave the notice to my colleagues and discussed with Han Gi-tak about increasing the number of employees.
Before moving into the Hadong cultivation facility, the plan was to increase the number of young farmers.
Han Gi-tak said as if he had a good idea.
“How about giving the people who were unfortunately eliminated at that time a chance?”
He said those who fell when selecting young farmers.
“That’s a good idea. I agree.”
About 50 young farmers had been dispatched to Dubai. It also sent 10 young farmers to Europe.
We decided to recruit more than 80 young farmers.

That afternoon, I headed to the ranch for the first time in a long time.
Because I remembered the promise I made to Seol Kang-in.
The cows were leisurely grazing in the fields.
Seol Min-joo waved her hand and approached me.
“I heard the news that the Dubai cultivation facility has been completed. congratulations.”
“It’s all thanks to Min-min’s hard work.”
“What did I do?”
Seol Min-ju blushed in embarrassment.
“Where is Team Leader Seol Kang-in?”
“Father is over there.”
She pointed towards the robotic milking machine.
There was a group of people. They all gathered around the robotic milking machine.
I went there quietly. A middle-aged man came out of the robotic milking machine.
This is Lee Dong-chun he said with a smile.
“The representative is here.”
The moment Lee Dong-chun spoke, the eyes of the young farmers around me turned to me.
Team Leader Seol Kang-in said hello.
“I was repairing a robotic milking machine.”
When I first bought my robotic milking machine, I struggled to fix it.
Because there was no place to repair it in Korea.
I had to call someone from Germany.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Now Lee Dong-chun was in charge of that job. A team of engineers also helped him.
I found out that the ranch repairs a robotic milking machine today.
I was thinking of discussing my future plans with Seol Kang-in.
I said looking at Lee Dong-chun.
“Take a break and do it.”
“Please wait a moment. I will finish this and go.”
“Then take it slow. I’ll wait.”
I went into the break room with Seol Kang-in.
Seol Kang-in looked relaxed. He gave me iced tea and said.
“I heard that the Dubai planting facility has been completed. You suffered.”
You could tell just by looking at his face. I was glad that I had come to the ranch.
I talked to him about what had happened. He excitedly talked about the new yogurt and dairy products launched by the ranch.
Then Lee Dong-chun entered the break room.
“The robot milking machine has been repaired.”
Lee Dong-chun said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
