Chapter 23   – Cheer Louder (2)

“This isn’t your house . This is work . What are you doing just coming here? And a person with no business here as well . ”

“Then why do you not respond to your calls and make someone come here!”

Myunghoon shouted with his two eyes wide .

In the shadow, Suhee’s facial expression became a level colder .

“I don’t want to call the police so lower your voice . ”

“What? Police?”

“Talk outside . ”

Suhee went outside first, pressing the door button .

Myunghoon looked at her with burning eyes and strided towards her .

Without stopping, the place they reached was the resting place in the corner of the building . Suhee with her back to the window crossed her arms .

“Say it . What do you want to say?”

“What is your reason for hiring Ha Jaegun?”

Myunghoon roared as if he was waiting . Suhee didn’t avoid his eyes and answered straightly .

“Because he writes well . ”

“… What?”

“You were right . It’s hard to find a writer and hire one in such a short time . But good thing I had connections . An alumnus called Ha Jaegun who writes well . ”

“Ha Jaegun writes well? To the point of pushing me out?”

“Speak straight . The person who said that the draft was bad and refused was you first . And Jaegun is good enough to write a game scenario like you . Even could be better . ”

Myunghoon bit his teeth . His short beard that he forgot to shave was shaking .

“That fool… writes as good as me? Even better?”

“He was originally good at writing . He knows to listen to others, he knows to observe, he tries to feel one more thing that could help hims write . He’s a writer with good tendencies . Those show up in his writing . ”

“Nonsense . ”

“He was top in our class and even the two classes above . That’s what Han Hyesun professor said . You went there too, hm?”

Myung Hoon filled with rage had a fierce carving on his face .

“Yeah? Then why his a person like that not getting the spotlight? He writes martial arts or fantasy and even those don’t even sell well, right? It was pitiful seeing his facial expression and clothes that was so dirty at the alumni meeting .

Suhee didn’t back up . She, like him, had a sculpture face, tilted her head, and countered .

“Ah, did you not know? Jaegun is really good now . His recent three works fantasy and martials arts all printed more copies . ”

“Three works… all printing more copies?”

Myung Hoon’s face had the blood sucked out of him .

Myunghoon knew the market right now of the books . His dad was a representative of a huge publisher and he was also a writer of a romance novel so he knew even though he didn’t want to know .

In this hard market, he printed more copies of 3 works .

Myung Hoon’s face was filled with distrust . It was probably a false statement to get him angry .

“I think this conversation is almost done so I’ll leave . If you don’t believe me, check on your phone . You know Jaegun’s pen name, right?”

Suhee walked one step . As she passed Myunghoon, who was flabbergasted and was grinding his teeth, she continued .

“Jaegun now found out . How to consider for the readers in his own way . Now there’s huge expectation to see how far he could go . ”

Suhee got farther clicking her boots Taptaptap . Myunghoon didn’t move until the sound couldn’t be heard . He was frozen like a statue .

‘No way…! In that short span, he wrote 3 series… and even printed more copies?!’

Myunghoon with shaking hands pulled out his phone and went to the internet .

He printed the name ‘Pyung Cheonyu’ and searched . Down came the comments from the readers .

-Ramada : Read funny;;;; I went to high school and this is work that made me find fantasy again . “A machine keyboard . As the keys are different by key, the stress is less, and the feeling is good too . Writer Ha should be happy if we send one . ”

Jonggu snapped his fingers and stood up .

“Ha, that’s a good suggestion . Park, search it up . Buy a good one not any cheap one . It doesn’t matter if it takes over 3-400 dollars . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

Jonggu went to the representative room to report happily . Gyungsu also with a smile looked up a keyboard online .

At that same time,

Unlike Hetae Media, StarBucks office had a cold environment around it .

BAM!

“What are you doing!”

Representative Park Jeguk slammed his fist on the desk and shouted .

“You must have angered him somehow so he went somewhere else! It went up to 6000 copies! I told you to hold him hard, but you let him make a book somewhere else?!”

The reason that Jeguk was mad was because of the Pegelon’s Magician that was released in Heate Media . As he heard that it got more copies twice, he was filled with anger and he brought Tewon to scream at .

“AH? And you’re a editor? The company’s profits are decreasing every month and how can I do anything believing in you! Now you worked 10 years so you filled with it? Why are you doing your work so lazily!”

Tewon instead of answering swallowed .

In his 9 years of StarBooks, he had never done any work lazily . He tried hard for the company’s profits . It was the days that he spent day, night and weekends for work .

There was a lot of profit because of the Marital Rankings and the Modern Ranking . It was obviously more than Hate’s Pegelon’s Magician .

But the representative wasn’t satisfied with that . He felt displeased and dissatisfied that he missed on Pegelon’s Magician .

“Anyway do well this Saturday! Make Ha Jaegun come to the writer’s meeting . And make him sign the sequel contract!”

“… . ”

“Why do you have no words? Understand?!”

“Yes sir .

“Leave!”

Tewon with his shoulder depressed left .

He stood there standing in the long hallway . It was a hallway that he went by a lot in his 9 years . Buy now, he couldn’t remember the way to the office .

‘It’s hard . ’

He was now 44 .

It’s not old but it’s not young .

He got the title of editor by coming from the floor .

Now as a worker, there was no other place to go up to .

How long can I hold this place . He felt scared thinking about the future . The representative family and friends were getting the company one by one so the worries were increasing .

“Ah, Editor . ”

Somii met at the office entrance .

Somii had many hamburgers in a bag . Tewon asked with sigh, knowing what it was .

“Did assistant manager Go tell you?”

“Ah… I needed to go to get some money out anyway . ”

Somii hesitated and answered hesitantly .

Of course Tewon didn’t believe her . The fast food restaurant was on the first floor of the next building . The ATm was on the same building same floor .

“Go and do your work . ”

Tewon didn’t speak any more and sent Somii . He was planning to bring Go and tell him so he could understand . He had already gave him warnings . The habit of making new girl employee’s do small tasks didn’t seem to get fixed .

Tewon leaving the office went to the convenience store to get cigarettes . As he opened the bag of cigarettes that he quit over a year ago, he called Jaegun .

“Yes, Editor . ”
