All-Round Genius Who Eats Talent

043. The author is not serious.

“no. really! Isn’t this a little too much?”

“Don’t cast No Eating, sit down.”

I rubbed my widened eyes and glared at Um Kang-seok. It’s a trick. Look at that face that doesn’t want to categorize the cumbersome resume.

can never be tolerated

“I don’t want to work, so I play tricks. is the path you have chosen Sort it out quickly.”

“OMG! hey! Does it make sense to apply for more than 150 people to pick one assistant?”

“There are too many lies. It is a job to filter out that.”

“It doesn’t.”

It’s nice to say that there are over 100 applicants.

There were quite a few people who applied without any experience in assisting, and it was my personal opinion that there would be less than 10 people left if I skipped the first round because it was to select people who had experience enough to put into practice.

“I guess what we’re really going to do. When I look at the people who apply, there are quite a few people who are not normal.”

“Is not it? It is surprising all over again.”

“uh? If it was the final criminal, the villain returned. Isn’t that a webtoon? I’m having a lot of fun watching it. Although the story seems to be going to the mountains these days. Take a look at this person’s resume.”

“Ah, that piece. I remember too. It was really fun in the beginning.”

The resumes of the applicants Um Kang-seok was looking at had really diverse careers written on them.

“Go Yerim? Do you have a pretty good career? I’ve had 2 years of experience, but I’ve really tried everything. But why are you still here?”

It wasn’t just that he didn’t draw his own work at this level, it was because he had most of the skills needed to create a webtoon.

“There must be personal circumstances that we don’t know about, right?”

As a result of investing almost a full day, a total of 10 interviewers were able to be selected.

They were the people who were thoroughly blinded and selected only after looking at their careers. Neither he nor Eom Kang-seok knew what kind of person would appear in the actual interview.

“Then, confirm it like this and send the notice?”

“Eh, let’s divide the interview time and day. I think I have to go to the drama set one more time.”

“OK. Let me know when the schedule is fixed, and I will avoid that time and schedule an interview.”

“And put that applicant named Go Ye-rim at the last time. Because I think my career is the best.”

Oh, come to think of it, do I have to digest my talent for understanding people in order to interview?

You don’t know what kind of person he is until you work together. But isn’t it that the system window pops up to let you know what the person is thinking or to do mind reading?

uh mind reading?

isn’t it bad?

It didn’t sound like a really bad idea.

It means learning the skill of understanding psychology through facial expressions and reactions using commonly-known psychological methods. It’s not about reading your inner thoughts in a fantasy way.

Because this was the realm of technology enough.

“ha···”

[I’ll tell you right away because I think this is better than dragging it out while watching an interview and contacting you later. I’m sorry, but I can’t pull out the Go Ye-rim scene.]

[You know this industry is narrow. I heard about it from Jongbeom.]

After being rejected again from an interview, I sighed deeply and sat down in a chair at the bus stop, bowing my head.

“This is too much. What did I do so wrong?”

After leaving Choi Jong-beom’s studio, I put my resume in several webtoon writer’s job postings, but the only answer was that I couldn’t come back every time.

In addition, in the case of fish poetry in the first place, there were many cases in which people were selected through introductions of acquaintances rather than by posting job postings, so there were few opportunities for interviews.

“Is this the end? Challenge Everything Factory?”

Go Ye-rim arrived at the address listed on the job site and looked up at the building.

In fact, this was also the place where I pinned my greatest hopes. Anyway, the biggest reason was that I was choosing the monthly salary system.

I don’t know how much work they’ll have to do since it’s a monthly salary system, but I also thought it would be much better than the pay per synagogue depending on the writer’s circumstances.

In addition, I don’t know if the employee welfare level in other parts will actually be kept, but even if only one was kept, it would be dozens of times better than Choi Jong-beom’s office.

Actually, this is what I hoped for, but even if I just passed, I felt good about it.

‘You must have supported a lot? at this level. Still, it’s possible that he doesn’t have a relationship with Choi Jong-bum.’

I think I heard the word challenge everything, but I couldn’t remember it. And I can’t afford to remember it. It looks like I’m going to starve right now.

‘A recording studio? To the webtoon studio?’

The first thing you see when you open the office door is literally a recording studio. A recording studio in a webtoon studio. Isn’t that a bit of an odd combination?

And the other office views were also unusual.

kitchen? what? video editing? a recording studio? Etc? Why are there so many computers? It’s not even a liquid crystal tablet.

It felt like my head was spinning because it didn’t feel like a studio.

“welcome. Did you come to the interview?”

“yes! hello!”

And the moment we meet eyes after talking to Go Ye-rim, who looks around the office while looking around.

“uh? emergency room?”

Song Jae-ik tilted his head a few times at the completely different look from then, and then recalled the image of Go Ye-rim he had seen in the emergency room.

“Are there any coincidences like this? Nice to meet you. This is Song Jae-ik.”

“Persimmon, thank you! I will pay you back right away!”

“it’s okay. Let’s see. At this time, Mr. Go Ye-rim?”

“yes! you’re right! This is Go Ye-rim, who applied for fish poetry!”

Even as she followed the man from the emergency room to the meeting room, Go Ye-rim glanced around and looked at the man.

He was tall and looked too normal to be a cartoonist.

‘Are you ready to work yet? It seems that the LCD tablet is also turned on.’

However, he soon shook his head and gave strength to his eyes. This was the last time. Judging from the reaction, it seemed that Choi Jong-bum and I didn’t know each other.

Song Jae-ik, who was sitting in the conference room, asked Go Ye-rim a few questions.

“You’ve been working as an assistant for a long time. Is there a reason you haven’t drawn your own webtoon yet?”

“I am weak in stories. I can draw, but I lack the strength to drag it.”

“I did a lot of different things at my previous job. Did you really do this all by yourself? in about a year or so? You must have suffered a lot.”

When Choi Jong-bum’s story came out, his expression darkened instantly, and Song Jae-ik did not miss that expression.

“yes. Somehow, I ended up doing all sorts of things. From pen touch, contrast, coloring, and background color. Everything.”

“It is a variety of talents. You drew the portfolio yourself, right?”

“Yes. All of them are my work.”

I was interpreting all of Go Ye-rim’s behavioral reactions in my head during the question-and-answer process that lasted about ten minutes. Of course, all the previous applicants were the same.

The reason was simple. I want to save a good person at once, and at least I want to filter out people who lie.

In that sense, Go Ye-rim was a very honest person. Of course, the answer was honest, but the behavioral response came more clearly than other applicants.

That meant that it was true that he did all of those things, and it must mean that it was true that he drew his portfolio himself.

Of course, it wasn’t a talent that went through a lot of digestion, so even if it wasn’t perfect, it was enough to see it at least.

And there was an intuitive feeling. There was no reason to drag it any further.

“We work together.”

“yes?”

“When can you go to work? Is your house a little machine here?”

Go Ye-rim only asked a few questions, but suddenly his eyes widened when he was asked to work together.

“You may have seen the announcement, but this is a salary system. Since you have experience, the start is in the early 3,000.”

“yes? Early 3,000?”

Of course, I thought I would get it according to the minimum wage. It was literally a crazy salary. At the same time, I thought of a job posting from a famous webtoon writer called Fashion 84 a while ago.

It was such a salary there too. I was very envious.

“Working hours are voluntary. No matter how you work, all you have to do is keep deadlines and 40 hours a week.”

“Only deadlines and 40 hours a week?”

Didn’t he work 80 hours a week at Choi Jong-beom’s studio? to a minimum as well.

after It was an insanely generous condition. To the extent that I wonder if I can accept these conditions.

“You can eat whatever you want, but sometimes I cook. You can eat it together. You just have to work hard.”

Anyway, I had already confirmed my skills through my portfolio, so there was no need to doubt.

“Go to work next Monday. When you come, bring a copy of your bankbook to receive your salary and your stamp. I have to write a contract.”

up to the contract. That means that you really passed, and while working here, you will receive all the conditions just mentioned.

“thank you! Thank you very much! Take good care of me!”

Not knowing whether this was a dream or real life, I just thanked Song Jae-ik over and over again. The corners of her eyes were already moist and did not know how to dry.

Even the moment you leave the office.

Wei Ying-

and that moment. Go Ye-rim frowned at the vibrating cell phone. It felt like the good feeling was falling into abyss in an instant.

[Choi Jong-bum.]

What on earth did you call to say there was more to see? But at the same time, I felt afraid because of the emotions that had become a habit.

I couldn’t bear to press the call button and while hesitating, my phone stopped vibrating.

Immediately, a message popped up with a vibration.

[I heard about it. I don’t think I can get a job. Are you thinking of coming back? See, I’m the only one who’s taking you? Still, since I’m going out and coming back, it’s only natural that the manuscript fee per synagogue is slightly reduced.]

to go back to that hell It was an absolute specification. never. And you can’t find a job no-nonsense! I found a place that is a hundred times better than Choi Jong-bum’s studio!

“Are you gone yet?”

“Ah, boss!”

“Still boss. It’s not until now, just call me the author. President, if the factory is a little bigger.”

“yes!”

“uh? emergency room? Did you pass right away?”

“It’s not the emergency room, Mr. Go Yerim. Our factory new fish. And this is Um Kang-seok. He’s my friend and he edits YouTube videos and that’s it.”

“Hey, what is this and that that makes it look like it doesn’t exist? He is the main editor of the nutube channel Challenge Everything and manages the schedule. And… um… I am Kang-Seok Um, who is in charge of this and that.”

Only then did something flash in Go Ye-rim’s mind. You Tube Channel Challenge Everything! He also remembered hearing a glimpse of it while passing by.

In particular, the name Choi Jong-bum chewed whenever he drank.

And the memories came back one after another. A duet song with Evie, an animation, and even a piano song. That’s what I saw on the You Tube Algorithm.

‘I guess I got a job in a more famous place than I thought.’

“Hmm. It’s a contract anyway, so I decided to write it next week. You’re not going to change your mind, are you?”

Go Ye-rim was startled by the question and shook his head vigorously. never gonna change You have to stick to it unconditionally!

“Absolutely! Absolutely!”

“Then it wouldn’t hurt to go with you. Where are you planning to go now, would you like to go with me? It wouldn’t hurt to see it once. If you have a job, you can look at it.”

“no! I’ll come too!”

It was already past the meal time, so I thought it was not a meal, and I nodded my head thinking that it might be an important place because I was dressed up.

I was curious too.

And while the taxi was coming, Go Ye-rim quickly wrote a reply to the text message that came to Choi Jong-beom.

[Please bring my overdue salary and my luggage. I also got a job in a much better place, so please don’t contact me anymore. If you don’t give me the overdue wages and allowances within this week, I’ll report it to the labor office right away!]

Then, with a bright smile that I can’t even remember when, I approached the two people who beckoned me to get into a taxi.

—

“What? Get a job?”

Choi Jong-beom, who received the text message, tried to get angry and called, but only repeated the announcement that he could not receive the number if he had blocked it.

“Someone.”

Moderately, I spread rumors that there was a poem called Go Ye-rim among the writers around me, and that he was very bad at it.

In that situation, I tried to use it at a slightly lower price by texting myself again.

Besides, do kids these days have big heads, and besides, they lack loyalty to their company? It was common to refuse or quit like a knife about the work hours and tasks outside of work.

In short, it seems that it is difficult to find a talented person like Go Ye-rim.

Didn’t he complete the manuscript on his own if he picked the line and made a continuity and threw it away? Then he just did the finishing touches.

[That writer. This episode is not very good. Suddenly, it seems that too many cracks occurred at the end.]

“What the f*ck!”

By the second half, it was clear that he was talking about the part he worked on after Yerim Go left.

I relied so much on Go Ye-rim that I even forgot the feel of the pen touch and drew the part in a hurry because I was chased by the deadline.

I tried to call here and there to get a fish in a hurry, but I like it. A fish poem like Go Ye-rim could not be easily obtained, and Choi Jong-beom hurriedly tried to start working on the next episode, as if he felt that his feet were on fire, but the feeling did not come back easily.

“Is Songjak here?”

“hello~”

“came?”

“yes. Looking at the makeup, it looks like there is a fight scene today?”

“bingo! Are you used to it now?”

The place I asked to go to was the drama set.

Besides, on the set, the person who looks like the director, the writer, and even Evie!

“Writer Song! Today is finally our first broadcast, are you going to watch it together?”

“Absolutely! It’s the first room! Oh, if you don’t mind, can our staff go with you?”

“Excuse me! Of course, if you are an employee of Song writer, you are welcome! I’ll let you know when the location is fixed later!”

“Yes, thank you!”

Doesn’t everyone welcome Song Jae-ik?

Apparently, the president, or the writer, is unusual.

And I definitely made up my mind. Originally, I liked this place, but I had to bury my bones here unconditionally.
