Big Life

“Oh, my God, you were talking about the Journal? ”

“Yes, look at the article. A man called the front desk mentioned the Journal. What do you think this is, Agent? ”

After speaking, the high representative rolled his eyes around with a serious look.

The surrogate sitting across from me was the same. The two who were working late because of the works that had to be finished by tomorrow were in a panic after receiving the article.

“What do I do, Agent? ”

“What can I do? ”

“Should I report this to the editor now? ”

“Even if you ask me. ”

This surrogate clears her head and sighs.

Just thinking about Kyung-wook, the editor and son of the representative jerk, makes me feel bloated and dry.

I'm sure he's still drinking a lot of excitement after he gets off work early. And it won't be long before lunch tomorrow.

“You'd better make one phone call, right? Insurance.”

“Okay, I'll call you. I'll eat it even if you curse. ”

After Somi's retirement.

The agency and the high agency have developed into a fairly comfortable partnership. It's because the heart of the comrade reunion of working under a weary editor acted greatly.

‘There's this cute little place. ’

The surrogate smiles inside, looking at the surrogate holding out her phone in a frightened expression.

It was the duty of the world's foremost agent to be timid, vulnerable, and to conform to his superiors. He has changed quite a bit now. Having opened my mind to some degree and getting to know each other, I started to see some human advantages.

“You're not answering. ”

“Just send a tap. There's nothing I can do about it. ”

After sending the message, the two of them left the office for dinner.

When I just got on the elevator, the surrogate's phone rang.

“Oh, hello. Editor?”

- What are you talking about?

“Well, that's just the way it is. I think the Chinese are interested in your Journal of Reconstruction series. It's been speculated that there might already be a story going back and forth under the water. ”

Is that what you're calling it, a surrogate?

His voice was blaring. I had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol. The surrogate closed her eyes, expecting the pain to drop soon.

- Have you contacted Hae-won in the meantime?

“Yes? Contact? ”

- Are you gonna ask me again like I'm an old man?

“Ugh, I'm sorry. I've been trying to get in touch with you regularly, but you haven't, no. Even if I send you a gift, you can return it immediately. ”

I didn't wait for my surrogate to continue speaking.

- No matter what you say, it's always an excuse! What the hell are you doing taking a monthly salary for an excuse that doesn't always work? Writer management is a basic part of your job description!

“Of course I know · · · · · · · ·! But you're not just another cranky writer, you're so recognizable. ”

I realized that the representative had made a mistake and kept my mouth shut.

Even if I hear the name "rebuild", I will immediately become a snake. It seemed like he was inadvertently rebuilding in front of him.

- It doesn't matter if the reconstruction is high! All writers are the same, huh?! Isn't he from Starbooks? Hae Hae Hae Hae is a writer who contracts with our company and books from our company!

“Yes, yes · · · · · · · Yes · As the editor said.”

The representative tightened his head as if it were a sore look in front of his eyes.

This surrogate, standing beside me, was looking at that pathetic gesture with a grim gaze.

- I want you to meet him right now and figure out what's going on. This year's everlasting series will be sequentially expiring, but you'll have to somehow take another three years.

“But how can I meet the writer? ”

- Put a mattress in front of the Harebuilding house! Are you a high school proxy?! Do I have to tell you all the dirty things?!

“Oh, I see. I'll do something about it. ”

The phone rang and hung up at the sound of kicking my tongue.

This surrogate shrugged the shoulder of a high-ranking surrogate and consoled him.

“Just raise your voice when people who are incapable don't have anything to say. Don't mind it. ”

“Hahaha · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Let's have what you want today, Representative Go. ”

“I'm losing my appetite. Just pick one for me. ”

As he entered the restaurant, this surrogate remembered Somi's face.

With reconstruction and contact, she seemed to be able to arrange a place to talk.

However.

‘Enough, feed someone and be nice to them.' ’

This surrogate shakes her head.

Her friendship with Somi was much more precious to her than tomorrow at the underdeveloped company.

* * *

The next morning.

Overnight with open eyes, the surrogate's eyes turned red like rabbits. As he stared at the clock without hesitation, he called the reconstruction as soon as it was 10 o'clock.

"Please accept it, Mr. Hae Hae-won! ’

I have something to say at least once before I go to work.

The high surrogate was listening to the ringing dial with a bird's breast in his hand.

-Hello.

“Ha, are you Hae-won?!

The surprised and asked surrogate face was like a dream. I never thought reconstruction would answer the phone so easily.

- Yes, it is. You must be Deputy Goo.

“Ah, yes. Yes! Hello, how have you been? Your writing is really enjoyable! ”

Is Representative Go doing well?

“Yes, of course. I'm healthy too. Thank you very much for your concern about my health, Writer. ”

High surrogate breasts swelled with hope. Somehow, I had a good feeling that things would go well in the morning.

“Well, there. Mr. Hae Jae, it's no different. ”

- I was going to call him myself.

“Yes?”

- The Joystick series we signed with Starbooks. We will try to retrieve one ticket sequentially, starting at three years from the date of completion.

The high surrogate felt the footing disappearing. My empty head became numb and my eyes darkened like black.

“Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae ”

- I've notified you on the phone, so I'll send you an email. I was also writing a letter. Please check your Starbooks public email once you've hung up.

“Now, wait a minute! Hae-won, you must be very busy, but can't you spare even a little time? I have nothing to do with any time at all! ”

- I'm sorry, even if I were to see Representative Go, I don't think I'd have much to say. So I'll politely say no. Thank you for your time and goodbye.

I had no time to talk anymore.

The agent sat with his phone disconnected from his ear. This surrogate, who held his arms and watched from behind, asked.

“What is it? What did the writer say? ”

“You want to collect the Journey Book publication · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

A trembling hand of the high surrogate grabbed the mouse. When I entered my mailbox, a message from Reconstruction came to the top of the line.

[This is Harebuild the writer. Request authorisation for publishing and e-book services.]

“Ahh · · · · · · · ·! ”

A cry came from the mouth of a high representative.

It seemed to him that he would immediately recover the rights to the publication of the three works, the Moorish, Hyundai, and Yigye, as soon as the contract expired.

“What should I do? If the editor comes, this is going to be crazy! ”

The high representative muttered with a twitch in my head.

Just in time.

“What's the commotion? ”

“Against, Jules · · · · · · · · · ·?! ”

The person who appeared behind his back without a clue was Starbooks national treasurer.

The employees, including their representatives, were very surprised because of the recent lack of health and rarely came out of the company.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Her eyes widened as she bent at her waist and looked at the monitor. Soon after, the two eyes slowly returned, staring at the void.

“Where's the editor? ”

“Well, it's not yet. ”

The country was headed to the top of its head. Looking down at the unorganized and cluttered desk, he asked.

“Is the editor always like this these days? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“No, thank you. Watch your work."

The fortune took out his cell phone.

My son who did not come home last night did not receive it no matter how many steps.

‘Such a beneficial product · · · · · · · ·! No! "

Generally, genre novels, including fantasy and nonconformity, are sold sparkling at the time of publication and end with that. Over time, the sales nearly run out to the bottom.

But the work of reconstruction was different.

The Joker series, which had been contracted with Starbooks, still had a steady good volume of sales. I did not win one of the top ten or twenty works of other authors.

In just three years, the name of the writer Hae Hae Hae Hae Gun was so elevated.

After thinking about it, the ash turned around.

It wasn't going to be solved by phone. I knew there was very little chance that the representative himself would be released, but I had to go first.

* * *

Tadadadak! Tadadak! Tadahak!

The ten fingers of Yeon Woo beating the keyboard were not rough.

His solemn expression was not the same as before. While I was writing, I could no longer see her exhaling and tearing her head off.

“Yeon-woo, you should eat and use your lunch. ”

“Eat up first. I can't eat without 10,000 characters. That's what I decided for myself. ”

“Then I hurt myself. Let's use it while we're at it, okay? ”

“I ate a lot of breakfast. I was thinking about stretching my stomach a little bit. That's great. ”

While smiling and receiving the words, Yeon-woo's ten fingers continued to pull out the sentence.

I had to be more worthy of my father that I was proud of my writer son.

“And you have a brother who rebuilds. Reconstruction is so hard without you coming out of the room, can the manager go and eat alone first? ”

“Take care of Writer Ha. She's totally my girlfriend.”

“I'm not your boyfriend, I'm your manager. Of course I have to pay for it. I've had a lot of rebuilding done for me. That's a conscience. Hahaha.”

The cheerful laughter of Yeongwoo rang inside the office.

The reconstruction I was writing alone in the room smiled bitterly. Yeonwoo's words were heard in his ears from beginning to end.

‘What did I ever do?' ’

He's a good man, and I just gave him that.

I have not done anything special, but I am greatly appreciated by many people around me. Until now, these feelings have not been painful, but in Yeon-woo's case it was different.

Tadadadak! Tadadak! Tadahak!

Ten fingers of restless reconstruction held the guilt.

As a result, whenever I had time, even my malice entered into the ‘wickedness of man’ that I was envisioning.

A wicked example of being indifferent to a precious person with an excuse to be busy. Reconstruction put this malice into writing.

‘I'll work hard, Yeon-woo. This is the only way to repay you. ’

Guilt drives me to rebuild my back. He beat the rider diligently for the boy who purely shouted that he wanted to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Right then.

Glug glug!

The phone rang and a call came from an unknown number. I did not receive the reconstruction.

Then a message flew out after a while.

- Dr. Hajaegun, this is President Park Jae-kook from Starbooks. I just wanted to say hello to you in person. Just one phone call, please. I'm begging you.

I felt an intense urgency in the message.

Reconstruction didn't take too long, and I pressed the call button. It was better to talk to him directly, as he was not an employee of Starbooks and was a representative.

- Hello, Hae-won!

“Hello, Jules. ”

- Thank you so much for calling. Uh-huh, you must be devastated. I'm so sorry.

“Did you call me about the issue of reclaiming the Jolly Rock Series? ”

- Mm-hmm, yeah. To be honest, yes. I wanted to talk a little bit faster, but I couldn't get through. So, to be honest, I was on my way to the Labbooks office.

“I don't think you need to go, Jules. ”

The rebuilding was spoken in decisive tone.

“I haven't changed my mind about recovering my publication. We're very sorry, but we appreciate your understanding. ”

- Hah, what can I do to change your mind? Why do you want to reclaim your publication? If you are dissatisfied with something, please say it without any surprises.

Hearing the country's desperate words, the reconstruction scratched the back of the head.

He still did not understand why the country was trying to recover its publication rights. The fact that the film was confirmed with Chinese capital with the head of Tincent Pictures may make it worse.

“There are no bad feelings about Starbooks. ”

I didn't say anything unnecessary.

Though it reminded me of a cheeky editor who had no respect for his subordinates and even harassed women, it was not a reconstruction to mention that.

“I'm leaving because it's time to leave. Please understand that. ”

- Anything I can do for you on Starbooks. Dr. Haejgan, if you could just take a moment. If you could just give me five minutes of your time.

“Sorry, Jules. I wish Starbooks even more prosperity. I'm hanging up now."

- Gosh, Teacher!

Reconstruction hung up without a word. The hand that turned the phone upside down went back up on the keyboard. The synopsis of the third book of the new book was being completed.

* * *

“50,000 copies · · · · · · ·! ”

Right after the country left the office.

He said to the employees with a scowling face. The breath of liquor is vibrating.

“It's not for a rental, it's for a bookstore. 50,000 copies in bulk! Hardcover, do you copy? ”

“Ha, but the editor · · · · · · · · · · · ·? ”

Standing frozen, the surrogate swallows his saliva.

The country's communication seemed to leave the entire office, so all employees, including him, listened. The Reich clearly told us to stop rebuilding.

This surrogate was replaced by a frightened, high-ranking representative.

“Sir, you asked me to give you back your publication as per the rules. How do you want me to take 50,000 copies? ”

“How come my head doesn't go back to this surrogate? ”

I shot him with a furious face.

“Don't you have to take out as much money as you can before collecting the tickets! Get inside the cover design and focus on marketing right now! It's a rush day, so we have to put everything else behind us! ”

“But Jules said · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I'm responsible for everything! I'll be my father before I can be Starbucks' president! I'll take care of it, so you have to make 50,000 copies like you told me to! Do you understand?”

I shouted as if I was having a seizure.

This surrogate also sat down in his seat, unable to resist any longer.

The office became so cold because of just one person that it was quiet as if a rat had died.
