Novelist Running Through Time - Chapter 47

EP 2 – Other
Baekhak Group is a conglomerate.
It means that it is a blood-related business.
It is a structure in which companies in various fields are controlled by one family. In the case of the Baekhak Group, it was of course the Baek family.
However, blood-related domination is generally limited to the immediate family. Because there were management rights disputes even among the immediate family, in most cases there was only one emperor and his crown prince at the top of the conglomerate group.
Therefore, President Baek Seung-won, who leads one of the subsidiary companies, was an unusual case in many ways.
This is because Baekhak Entertainment is a company built from scratch by President Seungwon Baek. It was safe to say that President Baek Seung-won was not a parachute who fell from the headquarters, but was in fact the founder of Baekhak Entertainment.
So he was confident even in front of the president of Baekhak Bookstore.
“I heard they keep harassing our kids?”
A private room at Baekhak Hotel’s Chinese restaurant.
President Baek Seung-won protested, mumbling his sweet and sour pork.
The president of Baekhak Bookstore smiled embarrassedly and tried to hide himself.
A salaried boss cannot confront the Baek family.
“What are you saying? haha.”
“Ah, you keep posting negative reviews about our company’s celebrities in the library.”
“Who? Oh, that young friend?”
“yes. “A literary writer.”
Of course, the president of Baekhak Bookstore also knew the full story of the incident. Is it possible for us not to know the biggest issue in the publishing industry in the first half of this year? That also happened at my own company.
However, what he knew was biased information provided by Kim Sang-guk, head of the publishing business division. Of course, I had a rough grasp of the truth of the incident.
However, the president of Baekhak Bookstore pretended not to know.
“From what I heard, Manager Lim Yang-wook, who was demoted from our side, had a grudge against Manager Yang Seong-jun of the Publication Planning Department, and lashed out at him?”
“That’s true, but I went to a literary writer and asked him to publish it, but it was rejected, so I published it independently.”
“Huh. Is that so?”
“yes. There was also a recording? Director Lim Yang-wook, that’s a poisonous thing.”
The president of Baekhak Bookstore did not bother to question the fact that when Lim Yang-wook brought in a literary author’s writing, he did not disclose the author’s details.
Because there was no reason for that.
Compared to the talent of the writer, the topicality that came with it, and the enthusiasm of the public, common editors and the like were just small parts of the company.
The president of Baekhak Bookstore smiled kindly and apologized.
“haha. “I’m sorry about this.”
Then, President Baek Seung-won also got along well.
“no. Ah, I didn’t say this to get an apology.”
The president of Baekhak Bookstore asked, knowing what would be said.
“Then for what purpose…?”
“It’s no different, but isn’t it a bit strange that Baekhak Library and Baekhak Entertainment keep fighting each other like this? “We have to control traffic from above.”
“Ah, then let’s take action against that friend Yang Seong-jun right away.”
“Thank you. Then, let’s have Baekhak Bookstore publish books by literary authors in the future! No, there is clearly a publishing company in the same group, so does it make sense to borrow someone else’s printing press and print a book?”
“Hehe, I would appreciate it if you could do so.”
In this way, the treatment of Manager Yang Yang-jun was decided.
In his absence.
“yes. Since we’ve finished all the business, let’s eat now. The eggplant soup here is so delicious. “It’s easy to digest.”
“Does President Baek Seung-won know that now? “I am a regular here.”
“Oh my. Did I wrinkle in front of the chrysalis?”
“haha. By the way, the presidential election is approaching, so at headquarters…”
In this way, the president of Baekhak Entertainment and the president of Baekhak Bookstore became friends and then parted ways.
This is why Manager Yang Yang-jun’s desk evaporated the next day.
* * *
Seongjun Yang was fired.
As soon as the desk was removed, he wrote his resignation letter and left. It seems like he didn’t have the confidence to survive in an underground parking lot for two years like Lim Yang-wook.
Yangwook Lim received the news almost in real time. This is because acquaintances at Baekhak Bookstore almost relayed the scene through text messages.
I couldn’t get anything done all day.
Even when it was time to get off work, Lim Yang-wook sat blankly at his desk. He remained still even as the red sunset coming through the window filled the office.
The employees from Baekhak Entertainment all left work without paying attention to the manager, but Baekseol, who was the only one who respected Lim Yangwook’s authority and knew Lim Yangwook’s personal history, looked worried.
“Chief… are you okay?”
“Yes. Assistant Manager Baek, hurry up and get off work. “Because I’m fine.”
“yes…”
Baek Seol thought that Im Yang Wook was feeling the futility of revenge and retreated.
However, the emotions that Lim Yang-wook was feeling right now were similar, but a little different.
‘Why isn’t it fun?’
no. To be precise, it is enjoyable.
Because that damn bastard Yang Seong-jun, who plotted against the publishing management TF team from behind the scenes, was kicked out of the company.
I stayed in the underground parking lot for two years, thinking only of revenge, and of course I thought it looked good.
But it wasn’t as fun as I thought.
Why?
Yangwook Lim was craving a cigarette so he headed to the rooftop.
“How to make it into a movie…”
“Anyway, it’s an independent movie…”
“Still, Okanega…”
“He’s suspicious?”
“Quiet···!”
“oh my god···”
On the rooftop, Baekhak Entertainment employees were gathered in groups of twos and threes chatting. Of course, these are all people that Lim Yang-wook does not know.
For some reason, it seems like I can’t escape from being a loner whether I’m at a library or an entertainment company.
So Lim Yang-wook chuckled and went to the unoccupied railing and leaned on it. Then he took out a cigarette and asked.
A forest of buildings, reflecting the red sunset, spread out before his eyes. The ground is more dazzling than the sky.
So Lim Yang-wook looked up at the sky and lit a cigarette. The smoke that came out of his mouth crept up into the sky, turning red. And he hid his body among the passing clouds.
“ha···”
This forest of buildings was a jungle.
The strong eat the weak, and the weak die without being able to protest to anyone.
Yang Seong-jun and Kim Sang-guk were the strong ones, while Lim Yang-wook and his seniors were the weak ones. It’s been like that since I received my college diploma.
When Yang Seong-jun destroyed the Publication Management TF’s project, no one reprimanded him.
Even though he attacked someone from the same company, he said it was the person who attacked him that was at fault. The laws of the world were on the side of the strong.
A weak person like Lim Yang-wook should sit still and die. That was what everyone hoped for.
But he eventually survived.
Survived…
“Whoa…”
I had all kinds of thoughts.
Where are the team members who resigned and what are they doing? Did he really open a chicken restaurant?
What will happen to Seongjun Yang in the future? Will he really open a chicken restaurant?
What should Director Kim Sang-guk do? Should we really force them to open a chicken restaurant?
But the first thought that comes to mind is,
What I was feeling right now was not as pleasant as I thought.
“Useup…”
So, I mistakenly thought that Lim Yang-wook was sympathizing with Yang Seong-jun without even knowing it.
That was truly creepy.
Fortunately, seeing as how I feel like vomiting every time I think of Yang Seong-jun’s face, it seems that my subconscious is not sympathizing with Yang Seong-jun.
So why on earth am I not happy?
Im Yang-wook quickly understood the reason.
that-
It was because I had recently enjoyed an incomparably great joy.
This is what stirred up the Korean publishing industry together with literary writers.
Although it started as a means for revenge, it soon took on a greater significance than revenge.
By purchasing as many as 16 literary awards, he challenged the literary world, controlled public opinion, and announced to the world who he was as a writer…
Every time I think about everything that happened in the past, I laugh.
No problem. Who on this floor has ever done something crazy like this?
Risking everything and running toward my dream was truly heart-pounding.
By the time my thoughts reached that point, the sun had already set.
okay. Tomorrow, tomorrow’s sun will rise. There is still a long way to go to show the world the writings of writers.
Since we have just caught on to a good trend, we need to put it on entertainment shows and choose the CFs that are coming in piles carefully…
Just then, a completely unexpected voice came from behind.
“You’re still at work. Fortunately, the.”
“……Inseop? “Why are you here?”
Moon In-seop appeared on the rooftop of Baekhak Entertainment.
The boy was holding a brown briefcase in his hand.
“I came because I had something to give you, but people were asking for my autograph at the subway station in front of me… so I was a little late. “But I’m glad you haven’t left work yet.”
“okay? What are you giving me? “Is this a gift?”
“Maybe?”
* * *
“This is with the high school girl…”
“yes. “We can have sex.”
I am eight years old. There is no specific name.
I know what sex is. When a man and a woman exercise with their genitals touching, a child is born. So you must wear a condom. Or there could be a kid like me.
But I’m not sure why that’s a bad thing. All the adults I know say that having sex for money is a good thing, but the police officers are trying to arrest me because it is a bad thing.
I live in a house where monks gather. It is a place similar to a temple. They say they are a runaway family. It is also called runaway family in English. In short, it’s a runaway family.
* * *
“No, fuck.”
Lim Yang-wook swore without even realizing it.
And he literally forgot that he had sworn and questioned Moon In-seop. I was out of my mind.
“W-what on earth is this?”
“It’s my next project.”
“When on earth did you use it…?”
“always.”
“ah···”
Now that I think about it, the child didn’t go to school and spent all day holding onto a manuscript.
But you’re already writing your next project.
Aside from the fact that it was doubtful whether it could be published, publishing the next work now would have completely disrupted the originally planned schedule.
“Hey… Inseop. No, writer Moon.”
Lim Yang-wook desperately tried to persuade Moon In-seop.
“After making donations, the trend is very good now. If there is an invisible wave in public opinion, we have just boarded the wave. Understand?”
“yes.”
“I went with the flow, so the book will sell really well for a while. Do you know how many entertainment shows you are currently recruiting for? And a ton of commercials have come in, worksheets, desks, headphones, pencils, brands, insurance, books, it’s no joke.”
“yes.”
“Then, if we schedule a promotion period of about three months from now and conduct observational entertainment, talk shows, interviews, and autograph sessions, the books we have published so far will sell like hot cakes. “Everyone in the world reads your writing!”
