Price of Management
< -- 142 times: volume 6 - chapter 6. Julia's Threat -->
The next morning.
Julia said she would send someone to the Egyptian Merchant Guild.
It's been a long time since I've been to the Merchant Guild Office. It's probably where Hansen, who's about to get married, is thinking about his sweet honeymoon.
It's been a long time since I've been able to harass Hansen!
When I arrived at the office, I had to rub my eyes because I wanted to see something meaningless.
Hansen was working hard.
That's why we're having a meeting with all the pharmacist owners of our pharmacy council.
“10% higher sales than last month. I had no idea people were so interested in skin care and health. ”
“I see. Our pharmacy has also risen 11%. It seems like yesterday when it was hard to eat and live, people really seem to be making a living. ”
“I see. ”
Hansen, who was listening quietly, opened his mouth as the pharmacist owners reported their sales.
“But soon after the fall is over, winter begins. In winter, sales can be reduced, so it might be a good idea to reduce the percentage of herbs used in skin care or health supplements and focus on common illnesses in winter like a cold. ”
Tsk tsk tsk.
What a silly sound. As expected, Hansen is Hansen.
“No. ”
I interrupted, speaking decisively.
Everyone focused on me. Hansen wakes up in a daze of anger.
“Come on, shorty! ”
“Hansen, how are you? You must have lost a lot of weight while I was gone. ”
“Well, that can't be right. I missed him so much. ”
“Look at you stammering. You're lying to me. Apparently, he wasn't worried about me at all, and he was just smiling at the thought of getting married. ”
“Oh, no. ”
Even though he replied, Hansen blushed. Sounds good to me. It's my fault you're getting married well. If it wasn't for me, would you have made a difference?
Hansen quickly switched the subject.
“But what did you say no to...? ”
“Did you not hear I went to negotiate passage to the Baden River? That's why the entire continent was so focused. Why don't you know? ”
“Oh, no, of course I heard the news... …. ”
“Did you not hear that negotiations have been concluded, reducing the toll on food and supplies consumed mainly by the subordinates? ”
“Ah……. ”
Hansen realized something.
“Isn't it natural that people would have more money than ever before because of the low cost of living? ”
“No, that's right. ”
“Have you ever thought about spending that extra money on beauty or health? Why can't you be a merchant and think of something like that? Do you want some beef jerky? ”
“Sorry!”
Hansen bends his waist perpendicular. Good posture. I'll call you the Master of Forgiveness.
“Rather, we need to significantly increase the production of medicinal herbs for skin care and health aids. And buy some more herb fields as well. We need to significantly increase the production of herbs in the future. ”
“Uh, how much? ”
“More than twice now. ”
“Huff!”
I continued to say to Hansen, surprised.
“How long are you going to play in this small territory? I'm thinking of exporting to the Horn Empire. You're a tough place to eat and fight, so focus on disease, hemostasis, and so on, as opposed to our territory. ”
“I understand.”
“Then the meeting is over! ”
I closed the meeting with my hands clapped. The pharmacist owners used to say hello to me and disappear one by one.
Hansen and I were the only ones left in an empty office. Now it's just you two. Heheheh.
Hansen looks at me with an anxious face. He was worried about what he was going to do next.
Yeah, I'm worried, too. What should I be bothering you with this time? I would have remembered the exact moment I saw it, too.) fell a lot.
Oh, that's it!
A good idea hit the brain.
“Hansen.”
“Yes, yes! Short Lord!”
The rest of you are nervous, and you're just like a soldier in the army.
“When is the wedding? ”
“I'm going to play it a little less next month. ”
“Really? Hey, we're not old men anymore, are we? Oh, of course, there's no law telling you not to get divorced in the middle of next month. ”
“Pa, Pahon?! I'm definitely getting married!”
“We don't know that yet. If you get fired by me for being incompetent, you can go back to being the son of a common pharmacist, and then get married at the bride's side. ”
“Wait, you're not thinking of firing me, are you? ”
Hansen asked with a trembling voice.
“I'm thinking about it. ”
“ ……. ”
Now, let's get to the point.
“About you. When you get married and have a daughter, name her Ellis. ”
“Yes?”
“Your daughter's name is now Elise. Algan? ”
“I'm not married yet, and it might be a son or a daughter.... ”
“Anyway, if you have a daughter, it's always Elise. Okay?”
Hansen rebukes in embarrassment.
“That's for my family to decide. ”
“You want to get fired?”
“Cough! You're too much. ”
Hansen cries.
“Hansen, Hansen. Think about it. This weekend you admire is now an international giant. Soon you'll be a very tall man. How dare you complain about Hansen when I gave you a name? ”
“Oh, no. ”
“Then your daughter is Elise. Okay?”
“Yes……. ”
Hansen groans and trembles.
“Well, I hope he likes Charlie. ”
“I'm Danjuni!”
Hansen's cry burst.
I continued to spend time naming Hansen's second son, third son, second daughter, third daughter, grandson and granddaughter. Oh, that's funny.
I was hanging out with Hansen for a while, but it was 1: 00 in the afternoon.
It's past lunchtime, so I should probably get going.
“Well done, then. I'm leaving early because I'm precious. ”
“Please come home, hehehe. ”
Hansen was mentally devastated by me after a long time.
Oh, that feels good.
Now I feel a little stressed out. As I negotiated the Baden River, I felt like my fatigue was being washed away.
I knew Hansen was my bitch.
Do you think I'll take Hansen when I'm crowned? If you take him to the tough political games, he'll be under cover for less than a month, hahaha.
Anyway, Hansen was running a fairly good pharmacy convention. Sales have increased by 10% each month, so we should consider that good for now.
But I was so stupid that I worried about going forward, but there was no one to replace Hansen.
Fortunately, Mary, my soon-to-be married to Hansen, seemed like a smart girl, so I had no choice but to look forward to her.
Back home, there was no one.
Of course I did.
It's only 1: 20 p.m. It was time for Julia and Sissy to work hard.
I decided to spend some time practicing aesthetics. I summoned Woundee to practice sharing my senses.
Until that evening, I thought everything was going smoothly.
* * *
In the evening, Julia and Sis went home.
After dinner together, Julia spoke to me.
“Master, I have something urgent to tell you. ”
“What's going on? ”
“Here, take this. ”
“What is it? Is it a gift? ”
“Hohoho.”
Julia gives out a sheet of paper. At the top of the paper was a title called 'resignation letter’.
I opened my eyes for a moment. I'm tired of living so hard these days. Why am I seeing things?
However, it was a resignation letter.
I can't. It's like a hallucination.
“Noum!”
- Yeah?
gnome sticks his face out of the ground. I immediately shared my senses and anger and looked again. Spirits don't hallucinate.
…… it was clearly written as a resignation letter.
A resignation?!
I felt like my face was turning white. But soon, I burst into laughter.
“Haha! Nice sense! If you were going to surprise me, that was a wonderful attempt. You almost believed me. Hahaha!”
“I mean it.”
“Oh, you gotta be kidding me. ”
“I'm not kidding. Stop escaping reality and take a look at my resignation. ”
“What's wrong with you? Did I tell you to disappoint me? ”
“No.”
“Then why did you resign after two days? Yeah, for whatever reason, I just made a mistake. Let's not do this. Let's have a conversation. ”
I started to get cold sweat.
Julia Lauren.
In her former life, her nickname was Golden Woman.
He is currently the president of the Caroc Armory as part of the Caroc Merchant Guild. Her work for the Caroc Guild is absolute!
She's giving you her resignation?
Then I have to do what she was doing. It was an important position that should not have been emptied for a while. No, I can't stay. Then I'm in business hell.
I calmed my heart trembling.
I asked calmly.
“Yes. Tell me why. ”
“I'm a woman, too. ”
“…… Huh? ”
“I'm a woman, too! ”
Julia is angry. I was baffled and asked again.
“So are you a woman or a man? ”
“That's not what I meant! ”
“Yes, I'll admit it. You're a girl, all right? ”
“Never! I'm already twenty-one years old. If it was a normal woman, she would've married and had two kids. ”
“Huh? Let's see. If you're an eighteen year old adult and you get married and you get a baby right away, and you have another baby right after you give birth, that's right. ”
Julia stares at me with fierce eyes. I coughed a little.
“Of course, I'm not complaining about the work itself. I'm too busy, but the harder I work, the more I like the number on my ledger. I love being the head of a business that makes a lot more money than just a lot of land money. I feel like a great person. ”
