Chapter 53 – Follow Me If You Can

“Phew… . !”

It was Friday afternoon, one week later .

Dongmi was drinking coffee . She went out on vandera to calm herself .

The Breathe’s paid chapters were up today .

“I’m not gonna look . I’ll check tomorrow . ”

Dongmi muttered and tried to calm herself .

1-25 was free then from 26-100, it was going to be 10 cents per chapter .

It was the first day so she updated 5 chapters .

It was now 37 chapters and the book was now up to the market .

“Ahah is there nothing to do? I finished cleaning . I ate . ”

Dongmi started to look for things to do . But there was nothing .

So she turned on the TV and started to watch a hero movie from Hollywood .

“Not funny…”

The movie wasn’t fun for her . Usually it would be but not now . She turned off the TV and sat at the computer . She was just about to kill time .

“Ohew, only an hour passed?”

Donmi sighed as she looked at the time . The time went by very slowly .

“AH no . It’s not gonna not go up if I look at it . ”

She couldn’t wait anymore

She opened up the page where the Breathe was showing up .

And she opened her eyes .

“How… . !”

Dongmi put her hands to her mouth . Her two eyes were holding the page in surprised eyes .

“One hour… 3000?!”

All of them were over 3000 already . The chapters that were free and became paid were over 1000 too .

‘This rate… it’s about to be 10,000 in a day!’

10,000 was amazing . Even if the market was better, it was still the market that had many books that stayed in the tens instead of the hundreds in paid numbers .

If money was given to Munpia, there were about 630 dollars of money . It was 5 chapters, so it was about 3150 dollars of money . This was 3:7 with LaughBooks and Jaegun .

“Amazing! This is going to be amazing!”

There were talks about releasing two chapters per day . The increased chapters will lead to increased profit .

Dongmi’s didn’t stop smiling .

‘Is this going to be on the top list soon?’

It seemed very likely .

The best novels were determined by the sales in 24 hours . It took 3000 views in just an hour so there were plenty of chances to be first .

“Ah, Writer Ha . Thank you so much . I’ll make you a feast sometime soon . ”

Dongmi looked at the monitor and muttered to herself . Her husband who had made such a close connection with such a great writer suddenly seemed great .

At the same time

Tewon stopped the car and went out .

It was an old building in front of him . A middle-aged man standing near the entrance came over .

“Long time no see, editor . No, Representative Kwon?”

“Yes, you did well too? President Park?”

The two people shook hands .

This person was the storage’s owner .

It was Tewon’s purpose to visit here .

“Thank you for doing it for 5 cents . I’ll pay this back . ”

5 cents for one book . Tewon was planning to release some paper books along with online .

It was a promotional decision more than a profit . This is due to the paper books and the online books not overlapping .

This was also the case for Jaegun . Jaegun always liked paper books so he rushed . It was nice to see this as such a good price .

Beep!

Tewon’s phone vibrated .

He immediately answered with apologizing to the man .

“Yes, Kwon Tewon . ”

“Hello . This is Team Leader Park Hyojun . ”

“Ah, yes . I didn’t know because it didn’t show the same phone number . ”

“An office change . But… sorry . ”

“Yes? What?”

Tewon’s face was already shaded .

He knew that this couldn’t be good .

“I don’t think we can do the promotion for 3 months anymore . I’m sorry . ”

It didn’t go against his instinct .

Tewon’s hand was already crashing on his forehead .

“Are you listening?”

“Yes, I am . ”

Tewon answered with his hand on his forehand .

Team Leader Park’s sigh could be heard .

There was silence .

No one said anything or asked .

It was obvious . Business did this .

“How is Laugh Books?”

The question broke the silence .

Tewon sighed a while and answered quickly .

“It’s beginning . I can’t tell you if it’s good or not . ”

“But… . ”

Park slurred his words .

Tewon was waiting .

“If you are getting bothered like this, don’t you have a lot of writers so far . Weren’t you starting to promote big?”

Park’s’ question continued .

Tewon bitterly smiled .

“We only have one writer . ”

“One?”

“Yes . ”

“But… . then, what can they achieve . What’s the point?”

“I don’t know . ”

“Ahhh, but this . That person wouldn’t do business like this?”

Tewon sighed to acknowledge that he was listening .

He knew Park was talking about StarBook’s Jeguk .

Another face came up .

But he wasn’t about to share it to Park .

“What were you going to do?”

“Me?”

“Yes, you . You only have one writer . And if they do this… . Carefully, how are you going to make this work?”

“I’ll try . ”

He thought of Jaegun and opened his mind .

“Thank you . I’ll see you soon . ”

“Yes, I get it . Phew . You too . ”

Tewon started to rub his hands .

It was because he wanted to stop himself from smoking .

The temptation of smoking appealed to him .

It was bad .

‘But let’s go work first . ’

Tewon finished the contract quickly .

He left and as he went to the car, a message came through .

-This is Note Team Leader Yu . I don’t think we can do the big banner until February . I’m sorry .

‘Is it the start . ”

He muttered and closed his eyes .

After about 10 minutes passed . A lot of messages came through .

‘This Note, Booking 24, Bookkeeping, Open Culture, Book Sale, Yuto Books… All out . ’

A bitter smile was on his face .

All of them rejected Tewon’s offer for different reasons .

He was expecting this, but the shock was still big .

‘Navin and Cocoa Page is still working…’

Tewon thought .

StarBooks couldn’t touch them .

Those places were completely different from the other smaller companies .

Munpia and Navin Store, and Cocoa page would give him profits . But Tewon couldn’t stop there .

He immediately searched up Yuto Book’s Team Leader’s number . He couldn’t lose Yuto no matter what .

‘Please… please!!!’

The loyalty of Yuto Books was incredible with its stable system and long history .

Yuto was one he couldn’t leave . Jaegun trusted him . Now he had to make him to a bit higher .

Tewon was determined to put the Breathe on the main page .

“Yes, Representative Kwon . ”

The marketing Team Leader took up

It was a tired voice, but he was human too .

The beer that he had gotten from Tewon was over his one month salary .

But Tewon didn’t show anything . He tried to act bright and continued .

“Hello . This is Kwon Tewon . If you’re not busy, would you like to have dinner?”

“Um, really I…”

Tewon answered cheerfully, cutting him off .

“I told you when we met before right? I know a good place . Let’s go there . There will be nothing to worry about . ”

“Hm, yes, I know . But…”

The person didn’t know how to respond .

Tewon definitely knew .

It wasn’t because he was sorry, but because he couldn’t move off the temptation of such a good place .

The opponent was such person . He knew his personality and what bait he would take .

“Don’t worry . We’ve met once or twice . I’m just trying to keep my promise . So just come out . ”

“Then… about 8?”

“Yes, that’s good . I’ll see you soon . ”

Tewon opened the drawer and took some medicine and ate it .

It was going to be another long fight, with drinks going in at every second .
