Chapter 219

Since the launch of Xenon’s biography, the publishing house that has signed a contract with the Michelle family is increasing its sales day by day.

Even before the 12th volume, it was mostly popular only with humans and demons, but now it is being sold with fire regardless of race.

A giant trading company that travels around the world is trying to somehow win a contract with a publisher, and the president of the publisher is eating as much as possible by taking bribes in between.

Originally, Isaac had to go to the publisher and sign a contract, but there is a risk of his identity being discovered, so he has delegated all rights from the time of the contract. The copyright belongs to Isaac, but the sales management itself rests with the president.

Therefore, the president of the publishing company could lie if he made up his mind, but surprisingly, he didn’t. Why?

Even if you don’t, you don’t have to ‘have’ to spend a lot of money because it sells so much.

To be honest, at the time of the first sale, I was a bit hesitant. However, as time went on, it was difficult to roll with just the revenue coming to the publisher, so the activity stopped.

Even the accountant who manages the publishing company’s profits has resigned several times saying that his head is going to explode. Even if you do all the work for the day, it will pile up again after that, and you will go crazy.

The accountant had to go through the manual work one by one and manage the back money of the president of the publishing company.

Of course, the boss gently coaxed him and at the same time comforted him with cash treatment. He did not forget to replenish the manpower for the accountant’s work. Accountants are one of the most important personnel.

In this way, the profit sold at the beginning of Zeno’s biography is not so great that it is comparable to that of a count-level aristocrat. Count was the most wealthy class in the Minerva Empire, so you can get a rough idea of ​​how much there was.

Money rolls in just by breathing. Although there are a lot of expenses, there is enough money to cover it.

If you want to buy a wagon without words, you sit still for a few seconds and then buy it with a smile! it can be said Actually there have been times

It’s good to have happy days every day, but the president of the publishing company couldn’t be happier.

If you are someone who loves money so much, you may be wondering why you are not happy. The reason for this is none other than the hardships the president has suffered so far.

When a new book about Zeno’s biography is published, it at least hits the jackpot. However, to put it in the opposite direction, it is in line with the fact that other books, except for Zeno’s biography, are stagnant.

The books before the publication of Zeno’s biography were difficult to read, let alone commoners, aristocrats. It’s difficult to read and understand what story you want to tell.

The easiest is the essays written by the explorers themselves. The experiences of explorers are popular because they tell us what they saw and felt. As Isaac said, it was simple yet so much fun.

However, even this, although the demand is clear, it is far short of the Xenon biography. For the time being, Xenon’s biography will feed him, but once it’s finished, the story will be different.

If Xenon’s biography comes to an end, the profits could go underground instead of on the floor. It seems that the current story is somewhere in the middle, so it is difficult to complete it within a year at the earliest.

Therefore, even from now on, we must gradually enter a transitional period. Although he is the president of a publishing company who can smell money very well, he is also excellent at detecting risks.

In addition to frequent pressure from nobles, the elves who visited the publishing house recently had a major accident due to the hiatus due to theft. No matter how strong a person is mentally, he has no choice but to lie ill for several days.

For this reason, the president made a decision. Let’s pay attention to other books, not just Zeno’s biography.

Even if it was small at the moment, another great writer might be born someday. Thanks to Xenon’s biography, the proportion of people who read books has increased, so it will come out someday.

“ha···”

Of course, it was never easy. The president sighed as he washed his face dry.

When I looked down through the hands that covered my face, a thick manuscript paper caught my eye. The precise handwriting stood out as if he had written it with a lot of effort.

The identity of this manuscript is not the life of Zeno, but the manuscript of an aspiring writer. You might think that Xenon’s biography is immersive, but the publisher is definitely a publisher.

After accepting the manuscript, anything that can be sold is printed as a book. That’s the basic job of a publisher.

“Learn the basics and come…”

The boss lamented looking at the manuscript on the desk. He was not sure of himself as he had sent the manuscript by mail, and the result was the same.

The readability is poor, and the sentence power is also quite complicated. No, each sentence was long enough to be called a paragraph rather than a sentence.

This is a mistake often made by novice writers. As I write according to the stream of consciousness, it is a mistake to write long sentences one by one.

While serving as the president of a publishing company, I have watched countless writers making this mistake. In this case, even if the story is good, people don’t read it well.

Therefore, this manuscript is invariably rejected. I read all the way to the end to see the sincerity, but my head shook spontaneously.

“How come something similar doesn’t come…”

The president put the manuscript away and hugged his head. In the last year or so, the stress has exploded and his hair is likely to fall out. Fortunately, everything was resolved with financial treatment, so there was no such thing.

After Zeno’s biography became popular all over the world, there was a craze that you and I would become writers, but nothing caught my eye. No matter how good the readability and good sentences are, it is another story to follow them.

However, this does not mean that there are no writers who enhance their writing skills through ‘writing’. Moreover, Xenon’s biography is easy to transcribe because he has the power of writing that anyone can write if he can follow it.

However, the writing skills that were actually drawn through the writing became similar to those of the other person. In particular, Zeno’s biography is considered sacred enough to be treated as a prophetic book after the 12th volume. Needless to say, Isaac, who is being hailed as a saint.

Will a book with a writing similar to that of Zeno’s biography be published here? To be honest, there is no problem with similar writing skills, and there is no big problem if the stories are different.

The biggest problem is that I don’t dare to follow along. If it is an earth with a highly developed social civilization, it cannot be said that society and culture have developed here yet.

There is a king who rules the country, there are nobles who rule the territory under the king’s orders, and there are commoners living in the territory. It is a clearly hierarchical society.

In a hierarchical society, there is a pride that should never be tainted: ‘honour’. In particular, if the honor of a noble or higher is defiled, there is no point in getting a summary judgment from the person concerned.

So, if you publish a book that is similar to the sentences of Zeno’s biography, you can’t help but feel anxious that even if the story is different, it could damage Zeno’s honor.

Even if you publish with your identity hidden, you will have to be prepared to be slaughtered inexorably.

As a commoner and at the same time a boss who was engrossed in the new culture (?) of ‘capitalism’, he was a type that could not be understood at all.

‘Should I even write a letter… no. I’m still worried…”

Still, I didn’t know at all. In my heart, I want to send a letter to Zeno and ask him to do it.

From the publisher’s point of view, it’s not good to focus on Xenon’s biography, so can you tell me a little bit? There are writers who grew up with their dreams by reading Zeno’s biography, can you generously allow them for them?

I want to say this, but the president knows the true identity of Zeno. It’s strange that he didn’t know he had a direct contract.

If it was a commoner, I don’t know, the problem was that Isaac was a nobleman. Even if he is a baron, he is in a position where he, as a commoner, has to crawl, but it is absurd to ask for something.

In fact, when I received the manuscript for two volumes last time, I was greedy and asked for it implicitly. Since the volume is too large, why not split it up into two volumes and release it?

The word “beneficial to the publisher” was omitted, and the focus was only on the large quantity. But the answer that comes back is a firm, hardy refusal.

That one rejection made the current president hesitant. I want to be brave one more time, but I’m not sure if it’s okay to cross the line or not, so I let out a deep sigh.

“Whoa…”

The president sighed and glanced at the manuscript that had been put aside. First of all, it seemed like I had to write a letter to send it back.

At this point, the boss opened the desk drawer and took out stationery and a pen.

smart-

[boss? That’s Matthew. May I come in?]

“Oh, come in.”

It was Matthew, an employee who had recently been promoted to secretary. As soon as the boss knew it was Matthew who had knocked, he immediately agreed.

Eventually, the door opened and Matthew, dressed more neatly than before, cautiously opened the door and entered.

Originally, Matthew was acting like a bridgehead between Zeno’s messenger and the publishing house, but he was good at his job and also had a heavy mouth, so he was perfect as a secretary.

At the same time, Matthew also realized that if he started working as a secretary, the hellish ‘watch duty’ would disappear even if he was busy, and he agreed immediately.

“Yes. What did you come here for this time? Maybe…?”

The president asked in a subdued voice with anticipation. Matthew doesn’t come to the boss’s office unless it’s very important news.

And the important news is, of course, related to Xenon’s life. Other than that, there are only boring stories, so we have no choice but to look forward to it.

Although the 16th volume has not been released to the world for a while, the president has noticed that the speed of writing has accelerated recently.

“It’s not… it’s not related to Xenon’s biography. If it’s related to Xenon, it’s related.”

“Um? What are you talking about? Isn’t that Xenon biography in the mail?”

The boss questioned, pointing his finger at the mail that was tucked in Matthew’s armpit. What is there if it isn’t about Zeno’s biography?

Matthew expressed his displeasure with his question, so he delivered the letter, not the mail. The boss accepted the letter without any doubt.

As expected, the sender of the letter was Xenon. Still, I couldn’t understand a little bit that what was in the mail was not a manuscript of Zeno’s biography.

Anyway, I’ll have to check the letter. The president read the letter with a questioning expression on his face.

[hello. Mr Musk. This is Xenon. The only difference is that the manuscript I sent this time is not from Zeno’s biography, but from someone I love.]

From the first sentence, my eyes widened. The boss blinked a couple of times at the unbelievable text.

Originally, when sending a letter, Zeno was conveying what he wanted to say to the ‘readers’, not himself. He is nothing more than an agent who will reveal Zeno’s will.

But this letter clearly speaks to itself. The boss looked at the letter with a bewildered expression, then turned his head to look at Matthew.

To be precise, the mail that was sandwiched between Matthew’s armpits. The president stared at the mail, then turned his head enough to make a beep sound and read the letter.

[If you look at the manuscript, you may feel that it is similar to Zeno’s biography. This is inevitable because I am a child who grew up with a dream after reading my writing. Still, if you feel the warmth and look at the beautiful sentences, you will feel the difference. Originally, this article could have been published earlier in the world, but unfortunately it was canceled due to personal circumstances. Fun can be guaranteed with my honor, so please read it.]

Fun is definitely guaranteed. These are the words of Zeno, who wrote Zeno’s biography, not anyone else. even bet on honor.

This alone was more than enough to make the president’s heart flutter, but there was a real problem. That’s the ‘copyright agreement’.

No matter how good a plaintiff is, if he can’t sign a contract, it’s useless. Even if they commit corruption including tax evasion, they are thoroughly managing this part.

He frowned slightly, pondering, and decided to read the letter first. It was enough to settle the contract-related matters gradually.

[This child’s pen name is ‘Mary’. She is Zeno’s lover, as the boss knows, but don’t get me wrong, she’s not actually her lover. Just because I wanted to protect her, she built it that way. There is one last thing I want to say.]

I have something to say. The president put his pen name and Nabal aside and focused on the last paragraph.

[As I read the article with this child, one thing came to mind. There are many sprouts in the world. But the buds are trampled on or withered without ever seeing flowers. The world is talking about me as a future person or a savior, but I am just a writer. Culture is a beautiful culture that should be allowed without discrimination to anyone. There must be sprouts that do not have the courage to say that they are similar to my writing. So, Mr. Musk, please speak for me. I’ll allow it, so you can try it once. No need to be afraid. Of course, if the story is copied at the same level, I will be severely punished, but let’s make flowers bloom. I’d appreciate it if you said that.]

[P.s. I would like the contract issue to be the same as in Xenon’s biography. Please wait until then, as we will find it separately from our side soon.]

“ha···”

The president read all the contents and exhaled the breath he had been holding back. An indescribable feeling engulfed his head as he coolly scratched his tickled area.

I was still worried, but how did you get a letter so well-timed? He even gave me a manuscript that he said was interesting, so the boss can’t be this happy.

“… Matthew.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Give me the manuscript first.”

A new star is rising.

*****

Meanwhile, the little boy…

“…So, which wife is this time?”

“No. Not this time. Is it real?”

“Oh, hello…”

She was arranging a meeting with her acquaintances and Cherry.
