The Barbarian Writer of a Martial Arts Visual Novel Chapter 221

EP.221

“Would it be okay to have this applicant look at the counter and send this applicant to the field?”

Daseogak, where Lim Ha-yeon left. I was looking at the applicants’ documents and thinking about how to allocate the employees.

I thought there would be some who gave up on applying, but I never thought they would all apply. In this case, the number of people is sufficient.

Employees who do relatively easy work should continue to work, and employees who do difficult work should be allowed to leave work early, given a day off, or rotated positions.

“Im Ha-yeon should mainly work on the second floor.”

I smiled as I looked at the documents of the largest bookstore employee freelancer market.

A beauty so beautiful that once anyone sees her beauty, it will remain in their mind for an entire day.

If you become an official courtesan, you would have to bring hundreds of millions of dollars to meet her, but now you can meet her just by coming to Daseogak.

In addition, since she was a courtesan, she must have a good service mind. He is truly the perfect person to sell cars at Daeseogak!

I don’t know if we’ll be wasting money just by reopening.

“Manager Kang! Luckily, you’re still at Daseogak!”

As I was imagining the scene of scooping up money with a rake, a member of the literary society opened the door of Daseogak and came in.

“What’s going on?”

“The chairman of the literary society is calling.”

——

What’s going on?

I went straight to the house of the chairman of the literary society.

Although I will now be busy again, I cannot turn down the call of a business owner who not only provides employees but also provides wage support.

Is it because I was sitting next to the chairman who was drinking alcohol and then quietly ran away to another seat? Or maybe it’s because I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake because I’m drunk, so I pretend to drink and pour it down my sleeve.

Or maybe it’s because I poured water into a glass and started bragging without anyone knowing.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but I get nervous when they call me.

“Did you wait?”

The chairman came into the room where I was waiting and sat down at the head of the table.

“Just arrived.”

“Thank you so much for being there from the beginning to the end of the literary club event. “Because I was a foreigner, I could have thought of it as someone else’s business.”

Isn’t it natural that they let me select my own employees?

It’s not a random draw, you can draw a guaranteed draw by looking at their faces, but you have to put in that much effort.

But people are so busy, is this the only reason you called?

“It’s someone else’s business. “How can we say that finding a sprout that will become a giant tree for Uichang is someone else’s job?”

I smiled and said with a sad expression, “How could he say something like that to me, contrary to his true feelings?”

“haha. You really have a knack for making things easier to listen to. okay. “I called you today not simply to commend you for your hard work, but because I have something to apologize for regarding the work scholarship program.”

The chairman of the literary society smiled broadly at my words, but spoke in a serious voice.

Are you apologizing for the work-study program?

Are you saying that he was dissatisfied with the situation where Kang Yun-ho’s reputation increased through the work-study system, talent was leaked to Daseo-gak, and he was even paid half of his wages?

At that moment, a bad feeling passed through my head.

Surely they won’t say they will withdraw support and abolish the system?

“You mean an apple?”

“When you first suggested the work-study program to me, I actually thought you were simply asking for help because you wanted to hire employees.”

“….”

That’s right.

“But I guess I misunderstood.”

“Did you say it was a misunderstanding?”

I tilted my head slightly and looked at the chairman.

“What you said on the podium really touched my heart. What he said was that he wanted to give hope to those who want to become writers even though they have to think about what to eat tomorrow. “It wasn’t just a formality, it was something that truly came from the heart.”

of course. Because I was starving first.

Since I was immediately dropped into this world, climbed up from the bottom, and became a writer, it wasn’t difficult to capture my emotions.

“As a bookstore owner, I knew the situation of poor writers. “I also lived a life of isolation and was finally able to settle down, so it didn’t feel like anyone else’s business.”

My primary goal was to capture Im Ha-yeon, but an additional goal was to help literary people in difficult situations by hiring them.

“okay. You may have seen it that day, but the person who had been selected as a working scholarship student expressed his gratitude to me with tearful eyes. He said he was about to give up after failing this time, but it gave him the courage to try again. “When I heard that, I thought a lot about whether I had been lacking.”

The chairman of the literary society looked confused as if he was upset about what happened yesterday.

“How could the Chairman’s contribution be lacking? I have never seen a system to select and support new writers anywhere in Hubei Province. Since the selection was made fairly and only based on ability, wouldn’t the winners become great figures of righteous singing in the future?”

If I had heard about the contest for new writers when I was a maedamja, I would have headed straight to Uichang without even thinking about it.

To that extent, the support system of the literary society was unconventional.

“…is it.”

“Of course, some people run with full bellies and good quality shoes toward the goal of winning the award, but others have to run barefoot and carry sick family members on their backs. “I can’t be compared to you, but I just want to help those who struggle to reach their goals.”

“I thought he was a merchant with a good eye for business and a good salesmanship because I discovered the writer Hopil, but he turned out to be a young man with a deeper mind than I thought.”

The chairman stroked his beard with an expression that made him see me again.

okay. In the chair’s view, I am a bookstore owner who can discover commercial writing. You may have thought that much.

‘We must maintain a good relationship with the literary society from now on.’

Since it is an influential group in Uichang, there is nothing to lose if you maintain a good relationship with it.

‘Let’s change direction while maintaining my awareness.’

When the other person openly declares that they have seen it again, it can be a declaration that their favorability has increased, but it can also mean that they have lowered their guard so that they can further increase their favorability.

You can’t end up as a competent merchant with a discerning eye. You need to leave a stamp on the chair of the literary association.

Wouldn’t the literary society then write good articles, supply manpower, and support employee salaries in the future?

I opened my mouth to gain more favor with the chair of the literary society.

“There is a saying in the Joseon Dynasty that one earns like a dog and spends like a government official.”

Let’s start by arousing curiosity with an unfamiliar Joseon proverb.

“What kind of proverb is that?”

“It means that when you earn money, you should not hesitate to do menial tasks and when you spend it, you should spend it fruitfully.”

“Even if you earn a little money, you still spend it fruitfully?”

When the chairman said that he made money like a dog, he would immediately think of the person in front of him who said he was good at business.

The chairperson’s words are also my proverbs. Let’s show Kang Yun-ho, who naturally writes like a monk, through one leg.

“I am a merchant. I do my best in my position and earn money through business. However, even though I earn money hard, I have no intention of making it reach heaven or taking it to the afterlife when I die. That’s why I work with one belief when doing business.”

“What kind of belief is this?”

“I believe that business is about leaving people behind.”

“Leaving behind people?”

“Now that I have started a business, I will support numerous writers in many ways, and by selling good books everywhere, the enjoyment and knowledge of many people will increase. The more money you earn, the bigger this size will become. “For what else is this but doing business and leaving behind people?”

Simply earning money and accumulating wealth is not right in the eyes of writers. In particular, the more educated people are, the more resistant they are to merchants.

Is it for no reason that merchants were treated with the utmost contempt in Joseon, even though they were called “sangong, craftsmen, and merchants?”

Build wealth and give it to people.

My podium speech. Proposal of work scholarship system. Even the conversation just now. The chairman of the literary society will see that I really have such beliefs.

‘Because you have to make money and build a reputation anyway.’

Wouldn’t you build a reputation by leaving behind people who continue to respect you?

“Leaving people behind through business…. Hehehe. “You were the one who had to say this at length to the attendees at yesterday’s event, not me.”

“How could you do that in front of the chairman who worked at the imperial palace? “I’m just saying that I will continue to work with faith as the owner of Uichang’s bookstore.”

So, please continue to support us in the future.

I spoke to the chairman of the literary society with a serious expression as if I was making a promise.

The chairman looked at me for a while and then opened his mouth with a deep gaze.

“…The Lord Baekjiajang of the previous generation often said the same thing as you.”

Dang Hwa-rin’s maternal grandfather?

“Were you acquainted with Lord Baek?”

“When I was young, I received support from Lord Baekjia.”

“I never dreamed that we had such a connection.”

“I couldn’t afford to buy a few books, so I spent half a day at Baekjiajang Bookstore. Finally, as the sun was setting, I decided on one book, and Baekjijangju picked up the remaining books and brought them to me. “I’m buying this book, and I’ll buy it for you next time, so I told you to come back anytime.”

“Huh.”

A grandfather full of only beautiful stories.

“The reason I return home and support new writers is because of the memory of receiving support from Baekjiazhuang when I was young.”

“I didn’t know until then.”

“You said you promised a future relationship with the granddaughter of the head of the Baek family, right?”

“yes. “We are running Daseo-gak after receiving permission from Hwarin, the maternal granddaughter of Lord Baek, who is recuperating in the Tang family.”

“The one remaining granddaughter and her son-in-law are carrying on the Baek family head’s will so well. If the late Baek family head family member had seen you, he would have been very satisfied.”

The chairman smiled at me with a satisfied face, as if he were the head of the family. I was just trying to stamp my eyes, but I think I stamped my chest.

It worked well.

What is the best answer I can give to the moderator in this situation?

“As the owner of a bookstore representing Uichang, I will continue to work hard to run Daseogak so as not to tarnish the honor of Lord Baek, the owner of the previous Daseogak.”

I bowed my head toward the chairperson as if I was carrying a heavy will on my shoulders.

“okay. It was only for a moment, but when I saw you, I felt like the Lord of the Baek Family had returned. okay. Thinking like that makes me unable to sit still even more. “How can I help you…”

You’ve already helped us all, but you’re going to help us again?

I desperately tried to hide the emotion that made me want to cheer at that moment.

What would you give me?

The chairman of the literary society finally finished his worries and declared to me.

“I will support the full wages of work-study students.”
