Chapter 30

030 In Search of Opportunity (1)

“Mr. Kim. Aren’t you thinking of taking over a school?”

In an instant, I almost lost the paper cup I was holding.

I opened my eyes wide and looked at the manager.

A very absurd suggestion.

It was a word that could not easily be understood.


“·················ogue.”

It’s only been a month since I joined this academy.

During that time, I met the director almost every day, but I never made any noticeable friendships.

So the director’s proposal was too sudden for me.

I looked at him with questions on my face.

“Are you serious?

Then the director nodded his head with a determined expression.

“Yes, teacher. It is sincere.”

A face and a plain tone of voice as if not even a single lie was mixed.

I paused for a moment to gather my thoughts.

If the director’s proposal was sincere, it was definitely an attractive proposal. Right now, I am renting a classroom from another academy and teaching, but in the future, I was aiming for an academy I run entirely.

But in reality, it was an unacceptable proposal. Aside from everything else, the most important issue was holding me back.

I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“Master. Thank you, but that seems a bit difficult. I don’t have enough room to take over the academy yet.”

As I speak, he opens his mouth with a soft smile.

“Do not worry. If you can make this academy back to the way it used to be in 5 years, I will give it to you at the most reasonable price I know. Of course, I will also lend the money necessary for the purchase.”

After speaking, the manager looked at me. It’s an expression that doesn’t even have any doubts that I’ll accept his offer.



He said he would buy his own building with his own money and give it to him, but what crazy person would refuse to do so.

Rather, if I bowed and gave thanks, I was grateful.

But there were too many things that bothered me to answer ‘I know’.

First of all, I don’t understand why the director is showing such a favor to me, and it was obvious that if the director changes his mind later, he will become like a chicken chasing dog.

I thought about it for a while, but I couldn’t come to a conclusion easily.

After I hesitated for a long time without saying anything, the director, who was looking at my expression, opened his mouth with an expression that he couldn’t help it.

“Don’t think too hard, sir. Just think of it as a stubborn old man who is greedy. I’ve been listening to the voices of children all my life, but I can’t hear them, so I’m making this suggestion because I’m so unfamiliar with them these days.”

And then add one more word.

“It seems that the people on the first floor are having a hard time these days. There must be fewer customers than when I was running the academy, so I can’t help but feel a sense of responsibility.”

After speaking, he looked at me with calm eyes. Only then did I understand why he had made this offer to me.

I made up my mind and opened my mouth.

There was only one thing I could say to a person who had spent all his life looking at children.

“sorry.”When I said that, the director gave a slightly bewildered expression on his face. Then he looked at me with questions on his face.

“No, sir, why…”

he said with a trembling expression. I opened my mouth with a calm expression.

“When I think about it, I think five years is too long. One year is enough.”

Then, the director’s face, which had become increasingly hardened, melted in an instant, like the melting of spring snow.

He burst into laughter and continued.

“Heh heh, Mr. Kim Jun-young. After all, I thought you were someone with an unusual aspect, but you don’t disappoint my expectations. like. That’s what being young is like.”

A dark smile appeared on the headmaster’s face. A really nice expression. It is very satisfying to see him nodding his head with his lively eyes.

[···Teacher. I will talk to my child again and contact you. I think it would be difficult to make a decision right now…]

A voice coming from over the receiver. As soon as I heard that voice, I lost my strength.

After watching it for about twenty minutes, that’s all I’m talking about now.

I felt like I was about to let out a sigh.

“Yes, Mother, then, think about it and call me. Or, you can visit with your children.”

But that doesn’t mean you can’t express your feelings. He ended the call in a calm tone and put the phone down.

“after-”

I’ve been getting calls like this all the time these days.

People who make phone calls out of the blue and list students’ grades and personalities and the problems of the academy they are attending for a while, and then openly ask how they would like to do it.

Then, if I wanted the story to progress a little, I was getting calls, one in a day, and one in a day, which I would withdraw in an instant.

“·················ogue.”

Of course, their phone wasn’t like this from the beginning. At first, he was genuinely grateful that the phone was connected, and there were a lot of calls asking him to teach his children.

However, these days, only those calls that delay hospitalization and ask for information only keep coming in.

“·················ogue.”

The reason they could not enroll in the academy was simple.

I had faith in the former academy because it was a large academy, but the current academy is a small one, so I don’t believe it.

As I lead the whole academy alone, I was concerned that my children would not receive proper care.

I didn’t regret leaving the academy I was in before, but I couldn’t help but feel bitter every time I went through something like this.

Click-

When I opened the classroom door and entered, I saw students rushing to put down their cell phones.

open classroom. Although students taking the principal’s class came in, it was still difficult to fill a classroom.

‘Mr. Kim. Aren’t you thinking of taking over a private academy?’

In an instant, the director’s words floated through his mind. Obviously, until I spoke with the director, I was confident that the academy would be filled with students in six months instead of a year, but the reality was not so easy.

Of course, he didn’t just sit still and wait for the students to come in.

In the case of branch offices of large academies, parents come with interest even if they hold only one admissions briefing session, but in the case of small academies just starting out like me, students have to try a variety of methods in a complex way to get students to gather.

Therefore, we tried everything we could, from the most basic flyers to advertisements for bait products for students, placards hung in places with a lot of floating population, gift voucher events for parents, and internet keyword advertisements.

But not much has changed. There were several phone calls, but only one or two resulted in hospitalization.

Far from filling the academy at this rate, it seemed difficult to avoid the deficit.

After thinking about it for a long time, I came to my senses and noticed that the students were looking at me strangely.

I smiled bitterly and opened my mouth.

“Page 49. Let’s open ‘Wall of Rumors’ by Lee Cheong-jun.”

.

.

As soon as it is time for a break, students take out their cell phones as if they had made an appointment.

As if sad that they had been away for an hour, he heatedly rubbed the phone with his hand.

Tok tock-

Most of the students are constantly moving their thumbs to see if they can’t communicate during class, and some students are tapping the screen to break it while holding their cell phones horizontally.

So far, it’s just plain ordinary. It is a landscape of everyday rest time.

However.

“Come, come. come really.”

The exceptions were Yuna Kim, who put her head on the screen of her phone as if she was going into the phone at any moment while wearing earphones, and Han Park, who blushed while spitting out her strange words.

No matter how much time I had to take a break, there was a limit to how I let it go.

He slowly approached Park Soo-han. But he seems to have been extremely focused on something.

I’m just staring at the screen of my phone without noticing that I’m getting closer.

She was ridiculous and decided to surprise her a little. She moved closer to him and slowly opened her mouth.

“what are you doing?”

When I asked, she applauded in surprise. She accidentally loses her cell phone.

She reflexively picked up the phone as she would fall to the floor of her if left alone.

“Come on, sir.”

As if Yuna had seen the sudden situation, she looked at me and raised her thumb.

Park Soo-han’s face was dyed with embarrassment. Then he looks at me with a face caught in stealing.

I looked down at his phone, wondering what to do.

At that place.

[Lots of luck! This part here is important! Be sure to take the exam, so check it out. Did you know?]

A pretty female streamer was giving a Korean history lecture.

She wears a colorful hanbok and gives her lessons to and from her whiteboard and the camera.

Every time she shows her aegyo with a cute expression, she occasionally pours out like crazy ‘night balloons’. This was the essence of what Park Soo-han was seeing.

When I look down at Park Soo-han with an interesting expression, he opens his mouth with a trembling expression.

“Oh, Sam. Why are you looking at someone else’s phone? And I just saw it for a while. I have no choice but to say that the KakaoTalk kids say it’s fun…”

Before I could say anything, he was pricked and began to make excuses for him.

However, there was a part of the guy’s excuses that caught his eye.

‘Because the kids said it was fun’. I started to feel tickled as if I was thinking of something.

lecture. yo tube. students. popularity.



Internet broadcasting.

The best way to overcome this difficulty came to mind.* * *

in a room with no one.

Searching for ‘What is needed to start Internet broadcasting.’

Then a man appeared on the screen and opened her mouth while looking at the mountain of giblets.

[To 13,000 YoTube viewers. Today, Banz has packed 10 gopchang hotpots at the famous gopchang restaurant in Seongbuk-dong. Oh Pink Dragon! 50 thank you But isn’t that a bit too small? ruler! Take a look here. Knowing that I would, I packed 5 more makguksu noodles!]

Then he starts to suck the giblets, and it goes in like a vacuum cleaner sucking up dust.

As the streamer who frantically inhaled 10 giblets hotpot and 5 makguksu like that, left the saying that it was a little out of the way, and when we went to get food, the viewers started shooting ‘night balloons’ like crazy.

“·················ogue.”

It was hardly enough for a human to eat… When I remembered him swallowing food nonstop while he was talking, I only thought it was amazing. If you were to ask me to eat, I think it would be difficult to eat half of it.

But, well, I didn’t have to worry about eating like that.

The reason the broadcast was turned on was to understand how the broadcast was going, not to imitate something.

First, I turned down the volume of the broadcast and focused on Internet searches.

As a result of the search, questions and answers about Internet broadcasting appeared on dozens of pages.

Step by step, I gathered information from various people and came up with what the optimal setting would be.

In the case of CPU, check the high-spec one as the bullet allows.

I’m not going to play games with RAM, so I’m satisfied with 8GB, which is the most cost-effectiveness line.

Others, such as motherboards, power, and graphics cards, are products with as little noise as possible.

Finally, the audio card is ordered as an external type.

Then, I put the sound systems, such as condenser microphones, audio, and interface mixers, into my shopping cart one by one.

Only one last of the three generations of internet broadcasting remains.

‘Camera’

However, it took a bit of thought to choose a camera.

There was something vague about buying Internet recommendations, but it seemed that there was a high probability of going to the store and choosing it directly.

In this case, the recommendation of an expert is required.

Fortunately, I knew of one person who had more than the average person’s knowledge about cameras.

Exactly [Eunsol].

When I touched Eunsol’s KakaoTalk, I saw numerous landscape photos uploaded to her KakaoTalk profile picture.

The photos show the scent of a craftsman.

She’d been told she was going out on the weekends when she was working, so these pictures are probably of hers as well.

She was the most needed person right now for someone like me who can’t even take selfies.

[Sam Eunsol. If you have some time right now]

After sending Kakaotalk to Eunsol, read things like precautions when starting an Internet broadcast.

Then, check the current trends and contents one by one.

So how much time has passed

Kakao Talk-

Eunsol’s reply arrived.

[Yes. it’s okay. ∑(> _ < )∑]
