103 Growing Pains (1)

[Teacher! When are you okay this week? There are not many reprints left, so I think I will have to sign a reprint contract and take a book right?]

A bright voice came from over the receiver.

It was the voice of Jin Lee, the representative of Globian.

It would suffice to have the employees below me do things like reprint contracts, but it seems that the work related to my contract is unconditionally done by myself.

Well, I didn't need another person in charge because the CEO took care of it myself, so I was just doing it.

“What book are you talking about? Is it ? Or is it ?”

when i ask

The president laughed and said.

[Both books, of course! Have you not checked the sales ranking this time?]

"···no. I'm busy these days. But did the rankings go up a bit?”

[That was it. Yes! Sure. Both books are doing very well this month. has risen to the 5th place in the history education rankings, and is still in second place.]

He announced the grades of my books in a bright voice.

5th and 2nd place.

My grades are better than I expected.

It has now been a month since the end of indirect advertising through broadcasting.

Because it was time for the advertisement bubble to burst, and I was thinking in my heart that it would be difficult to maintain the second place in .

However, whether it was effective that Professor Young-geun Lee's name was added to the co-author's name in this first reprint, he was able to maintain 2nd place by a considerable gap, with the exception of the ESB SAT textbook, which ranked first.

and.

The sales volume of , which I was worried about inside, wasn't too bad either.

In fact, as had been on the bestseller list for three months, I thought that the sales rate would gradually drop.

However, contrary to my expectations, seeing that it is still consistently selling in the top 10, I don't think I need to worry anymore.

A smile crept onto his lips.

There is nothing better to hear from an author than to hear that a book is selling well.

"That's fortunate. Then I will report the schedule and contact you via text message. How long can I tell you?”

Let me speak in a bright voice.

[Ah, just let me know when you have time. Something like that between us...]

The president continued trembling with a slightly light voice.

Our Saira...

Well, we're not normally friends.

‘Junyoung-ah! Let's go all the way!'

The representative who was drunk and shouted.

How shocking was the appearance of this representative, who was dancing with makchang tongs in his hands...

'Heh heh, I didn't know there was such an injection...'

I remembered Professor Young-geun Lee shaking his head with a bewildered expression.

[Oh. And my uncle said that he would like to see him outside sometime. There is a meeting of people in this industry, how about attending one time...]

CEO Lee delivered the words of Professor Young-geun Lee.

Come to think of it, I remembered that Professor Young-geun Lee told a similar story at the last meeting.

At the time, I thought it was just a passing word, but now that I see it, it really seems like the idea of ​​inviting me to a meeting.

“Um okay? We will think about it and contact you.”

As it is a gathering of writers active in the publishing market, there are certainly many things that will be helpful if you go out.

...I've been busy with work, so I've decided to postpone it until later.

[This is a social gathering, so if you have any ideas, please contact me. Teacher calls are always welcome.]

The representative's reply came from the receiver.

After that, there was a bit of a story.

drip-

let the phone hang upDing Dong-

[People's Bank. 440-910XXX-10307. Deposit 47,500,000 won. globian]

A text message came from Globian saying that this month's royalties had been deposited.

'Huh, publishing revenue alone this month is savory, isn't it?'

It was almost double the amount compared to when there was only one .

Perhaps it was thanks to Professor Young-geun Lee's 3% increase in my royalties instead of lowering the rate.

‘Actually, the 15% royalties rate is not common.’

In general, the royalties that a new writer like me could receive from a publishing company was 5-8% at most.

So, the 12% of the original contract or the 15% of the new contract was actually an absurd percentage of royalties.

Most of the writers receiving royalties at this rate were those who could sell more than 100,000 copies with a single name.

Anyway, considering the fact that I took off my feet, hired Na-yoon Son and got help from CEO Lim Yong-seok, it is right that I should do this of course.

As I said, it was because of me that I was able to achieve this level of sales.

‘The problem is that there is only one publisher who can clearly acknowledge that.’

There are a lot of dirty publishers in the world. In that respect, Globian was a bit frustrating, but it was good to be able to trust it.

But then.

"Teacher···."

A weak voice came from behind him.

I looked back.

Ia Rin staggered towards me, holding her papers in her arms.

She is startled and lets her take her papers from her.

"thank you···."

She said with a helpless expression as if she was about to collapse at any moment.

Her face, which looked white and pale, and her trembling lips.

She felt a bit sorry for being said thank you.

Obviously, the fact that her complexion has deteriorated like that has had a huge impact on how much work I have done.

I took her chair and gave her a thick cup of cocoa after her permission.

“Come on, have a drink. It’s sweet and you’ll be fine.”

I looked over her papers as she drank her cocoa.

Well, the amount of paperwork seems outrageous.

It was such an amount that I didn't know where to start.

“Arin-ah, what kind of documents are these?”

Reluctantly, she asked. The person who organized it myself probably knows better than me.

OK.

After Ia Lin put down her cocoa glass for a moment, she opened her mouth with a polite, helpless smile.

“Almost all of them are data from students enrolled this month. Some of the items below are the cost of paying for equipment.”

Hearing her words, I couldn't help but be surprised.

Even at a glance, there were hundreds of documents that seemed to be sufficient.

By the way, most of these materials are from students who registered this month...

"really?"

I asked with a surprised expression.

“Then it is.”

She nodded her head slightly and said.

‘No, how can I accumulate this much if I haven’t checked for a few weeks?’

I let out a small sigh and looked at the mountain of papers.

Obviously, there were a lot of documents to check last year, but it wasn't like this.

At the time, there were only a few dozen at most.

“·················ogue.”

However, after thinking deeply about it, I realized that it was only natural that such an amount had accumulated.

‘Clearly, the number of people has increased tremendously compared to the beginning of last year.’

Even this season last year, it was a time when people said they had just opened an academy and started broadcasting.

So this time last year, I wasn't too busy for the new semester.

After all, at that time, the number of students who had to consult or check their grades was remarkably small.

'Somehow, during that time, I said it was too easy.'

I nodded.

As the scale grows and profits increase, I realize once again that the responsibility for it will inevitably increase.

‘Well, at least once a month is something you can do.’

I decided to think positively.

There is a saying that if you can't avoid it anyway, enjoy it.

It's a tedious document verification task, but you get used to it when you do it, and it can be fun when you get used to it...

"Oh right. Sir, wait a minute. There were documents that I forgot to bring.”

Yes?

Arin, what do you mean? more here? Do you think that desk is going to break already?

But before I could say anything to her, Ia Lynn slurped her lukewarm cocoa and ran to her seat.

and after a while.

She approached me with a wad of papers that Ia Lin looked like quite thick.

thud-

Then she put a new bundle of papers next to the papers she had laid out earlier.

“·················ogue.”

Let me stare at the papers without saying a word.

"Do not worry. This is only a few pieces.”

Erin smiled shyly and looked at me.

“Hey, what can I do? What documents did you bring this time?”

Nodding her head with a bitter expression, I asked Arin.

Erin Lee approached me, pulled out some papers, and started explaining.

“This is a waiting list for registration. I’ve put together things like age, name, phone number, place of residence, school, and approximate grades.”

She followed her hand and looked at the paperwork.

[17 years old/Kina-rae/010-XXXX-2365/Bangbae-dong/Munsang High School/Naesin...]

[18 years old / Na-ae Hwang / 010-XXXX-9902 / Seocho-dong / Jongdal High School / Mock exam...]

[18 years old/Minju Hong/010-XXXX-1174/Cheongdam-dong/Hwimang High School/Essay...]

As Arin said, it could be seen that the information of her hospitalization waiters was clearly organized.

The more I thought about it, the more savage it was.

She's been feeling it for a while, but she's really outstanding in her ability to organize.

However, there was one very important problem with the papers she put together.

That's right.

The text in the document is too small.

Looking at it, it looked like it was either 9 points or 8 points.

Let me look at Erin.

She smiled as if she knew what I was going to say and opened her mouth.

“As I write, I don’t think the answer will come out with 10 points. There is too much paper coming out…”

Looking at her bright smile, her eyes became cold.

However.

“Arin-ah, from next time onwards, please give me 12 points. There is no need to conserve paper for a few sheets like this.”

Still, 9 points was too much.

It was good to save the paper, but I didn't want my eyes to be damaged first by trying to save it.

However.

Hearing my words, I could see Ia Rin licking her lips with an expression that she had something to say.It was a look of some hesitation, a look in which he was contemplating whether to speak or not.

"Why?"

when i ask

She opened her mouth in her cautious tone.

"Teacher... isn't that all you've seen now?"

Yes? What else is this?

I pointed to her papers that she had pulled out in front of me earlier.

“Isn’t this all?”

Then Ia Lin smiled awkwardly and opened her mouth.

“Yeah… Actually, everything over there is a waiting list.”

Then she pointed to the bundle of papers she had just brought.

“·················ogue.”

Moment.

She lost her words and looked at the tower of papers she had brought.

So, all those documents are waiting for hospitalization?

As I looked at her, she nodded her head with her firm expression on her face.

Her eyes were already sore as she thought of looking at the densely organized material.

“Huh, how many people are there in all?”

when i ask

"Wait. Actually, there are some imaginary ones among me. So, if you look at the things I’ve listed above…there are 504 people in all.”

She looked at her notebook and said with a stern expression.

"...it can't be helped. Thank you, Arin. I'll tell you after I've checked everything."

Then she went out of her office after Arin nodded her head.

...

All that was left was me and a mountain of documents.

“Hey, what should I do?”

Still, she thought it was a much easier task than the one who made the paperwork herself, and she went to check out the people waiting for hospitalization one by one.

In fact, if it had been a different academy, this would not have been necessary.

Because other academies generally have fewer students compared to the academy space.

But our school is different.

last year and this year.

Compared to the history and size of the academy, the recognition of the academy grew much faster, and it was experiencing a kind of growing pains.

This is because the space that had a little extra space last year has become cramped enough to say that it is really tight this year.

During that time, I somehow managed to get through with the help of other teachers.

However, looking at the list of hospitalization waiting lists today, I feel like I can't stay like this any longer.

No, as it was said, there were over 500 people who wanted to come in, but most of them were sent back because there was no space to accommodate them.

“Hmm, what can I do now?”

She shook her head.

The cozy classroom is a sight to behold.

The place where I first started running my academy.

A place where I spent the past year with Eunsol, Jisung, and the director.

Guess I'll have to get out of here now.

‘Originally, hermit crabs are animals that move their houses when they get bigger.’

Shrek-

I opened the desk drawer.

And I took a file out of it.

The name of that file is .
