26. Complaint!
Ryu Seo-ram and I sitting across from each other at a cafe near Wolfguard Tactical Solutions Headquarters.
Since Ryu Seo-ram was obviously paying, I immediately ordered a cafe menu item with a long name.
It was something Kim Yang would always order whenever someone offered to buy coffee, and the smooth cream paired quite well with the sweet coffee.
‘Not really my taste though.’
“Are you dating someone?”
Ryu Seo-ram, with her legs crossed, stares intently at me and my drink.
“What are you talking about.”
“Usually when guys start drinking stuff like that, it’s because they got a girlfriend. Getting dragged around to cafes and all.”
“…An employee drinks it often, so I tried it this time.”
This is embarrassing.
I feel like an adult who got caught buying kids’ toys.
“Well, getting to the point. Don’t tell me you bought Wolfguard stock?”
“Why are you pouring salt on a painful wound?”
“Hehe.”
Ryu Seo-ram grins and taps at me with her toes from under the table.
“How much did you lose? They say all stocks are in a downward trend because of this disaster, right?”
“…It hurts, so stop pouring salt on it.”
It would be fortunate if only Wolfguard declined, but usually when natural disasters like this happen, stocks fall across the board.
A total of 30 million won.
That’s the money I have tied up in stocks.
And how much of that did I put into Wolfguard Tactical Solutions?
A whopping 10 million won.
Which is now at -78.6%
The miracle of 10 million won turning into 2.14 million won.
I think my reason for investing in Wolfguard Tactical Solutions was fairly rational.
“Ah, damn… This time stocks related to beastkin safety and security in connection with Baekdu Pharmaceuticals shot up big time.”
Baekdu Pharmaceuticals’ scandal with the barbarians.
As the person who uncovered it, I had invested money in advance hoping to get some sweet profits.
But because of that damn Azure Dragon, the situation turned out like this.
“Still, aside from Wolfguard, the losses shouldn’t be that severe.”
“Well, that’s true. Stock prices from disasters usually recover quickly.”
Wolfguard is a bit of a special case, so I’m not sure if it’ll recover.
“But the problem is I have to pay employee salaries in a few days. Ah, pulling out now would be a loss.”
“Sigh, idiot.”
“Ahem… So, Seo-ram-.”
Ryu Seo-ram immediately raises her middle finger.
“No, I won’t lend you money.”
“Really? You think I don’t know that at least 500 million gets deposited into your account every month?”
“If you’re that desperate, work with me. I’ll hire you as an employee.”
“Ah, seriously…”
She keeps tapping under the table with her toes. She seems strangely happy today.
“Did your baseball team win?”
“How did you know? Those bastards finally pulled off a comeback for once.”
Ryu Seo-ram is a huge fan of Daeheung Bear Force.
She’s in a suit now since she came from work, but usually she often wears a baseball jacket.
“So Bear Force can actually win.”
“Do you want to die?”
Buzz! Buzz!
Ryu Seo-ram’s mobile phone rings.
Her break time must be over as she gets up from her seat.
“Sigh, I’m heading out now.”
“But bodyguarding a singer isn’t really like you.”
“The Hunter Association asked me. I’m doing it because they’re paying well.”
I suspect it wasn’t just the Hunter Association, but that Yu Ye-na was involved.
Before leaving, Ryu Seo-ram looks this way and adds one more thing.
“Hey, but I’m serious. When Merakl is dead quiet, come work part-time on our side for some pocket money. I’ll pay you handsomely.”
“…How much per hour?”
“How about 100,000 won?”
“Should I call you Boss?”
100,000 won means if I work 10 hours, that’s 1 million won?!
“Heh, you little shit. Acting like you’ll come when you won’t.”
* * *
“I’m back.”
After finishing the demonstration and returning to the office, it was already 4 PM.
Just one more hour until I can leave work.
– Through the quietly ringing bell sounds~ Let today become our winter for just the two of us~
As I entered, I saw Kim Yang and Renea dancing with a mobile phone placed on a stand.
It was a Christmas carol, and by fate, it was a song by ‘Owl’ that I had just seen earlier.
“What are you guys doing?”
“B-Boss is here!”
“Waaah! It’s not what it looks like! Young people these days do this kind of thing, so I thought maybe I’d become a bit younger if I tried it too!”
“Whatever-.”
I sit down while staring at them in bewilderment. A letter on top that reeks of 5th Floor atmosphere.
“Sigh, this came again?”
Since it came, I’ll read it anyway.
Maybe because the only thing he learned from Azure Dragon was stuff like this, his obsession seems to be getting a bit intense-.
“Hm? It says photo enclosed but there’s no photo?”
“Oh, there wasn’t one. It didn’t come with it?”
“Really? Must have gotten lost along the way.”
The back of my head felt slightly chilly.
Well, it’s not particularly important anyway, so let’s move on.
Renea staring intently at Kim Yang.
But why is that grandmother here.
“But why are you here, Renea? Aren’t you going home?”
“I-If I stay home, won’t I be bored!”
“You think this is Tapgol Park. Go to a senior center and play Go or something.”
“This Lady is a customer. A premium one at that.”
“-I’ll try making a 22-line acrostic poem.”
“Go ahead, Tower.”
Clearing my throat awkwardly with a fake cough, I immediately rummage through the file folder and pull one out.
“Oh right, I found a man to match you with this time.”
“Tower.”
“Would you like to see? This person is C-rank though-.”
“Tower.”
“He’s a bit older. But honestly, it’s kind of funny for you to be picky about age, Renea-.”
“Tower.”
“….”
True to form for an old lady, once she latches onto something, she just won’t let go.
“B-Boss. Over here.”
Just then, Kim Yang comes over to my side, blocking Renea from view. This is why you pay for employees.
What Kim Yang handed me is a Post-it note.
A mobile phone number is written on it.
“What’s this? A customer’s contact info?”
“Th-this person.”
She also hands over the customer list file folder.
Name: Seo Jin-mi.
Age: 41 years old.
Origin: 3rd Floor.
Occupation: Insurance planner.
.
.
.
Overall: E-rank.
“Why is this person here?”
“They called and said to change the boss.”
“…In cases like that, it’s usually a complaint, so just handle it yourself.”
This kid still doesn’t know the ecosystem here very well-.
“Oh, I know.”
“…”
“But I don’t want to do it.”
“Hey.”
“Ah, Auntie is so loud.”
“Sigh, this person’s personality is a bit difficult.”
I can’t not make the call.
As I press the call button, Renea peeks her head out from the armrest beside me.
“22nd acrostic poem. Tower.”
Ah, Grandmother is really damn persistent.
The call was answered quickly.
“Yes, Customer. Hello. This is Kim Ju-seon, representative of Meracle. I heard you were looking for me.”
– Oh, you finally called. I mean, is it okay for someone who calls themselves a boss to do business like this?
“What aspect is bothering you?”
“Tower.”
When I gesture to Kim Yang, she tactfully brings over the male profile file folder that was matched with Seo Jin-mi.
Name: Bakelende.
Age: 43 years old.
Origin: 4th Floor (Viking Tribe warrior)
Occupation: Construction worker
.
.
.
Overall: E grade.
– What kind of person did you introduce? What? Do you know what kind of values that person has? Really! He sees women as his property!
“Ah, yes. Since he’s from the Viking background-.”
“Tower.”
– She’s completely steeped in patriarchal thinking! With a thick beard and older than me too. What is this? I thought Merakl would be different?
Actually, if I had to pick the hardest part about running a marriage information agency, it’s that people don’t objectively assess themselves.
I tapped my finger on Bakelende’s special notes section and asked.
“But Customer, from what I’ve talked about with him. Mr. Bakelende seemed quite gentle for someone from Viking origins. He’s quite considerate too. He’s lived on the 3rd Floor for a long time.”
– That’s also a problem! I mean, why are you introducing me to manual labor? Didn’t you properly write down how much I earn? I make 7 million a month!
“Yes, Customer. That’s what you’ve ‘earned before.’ When we calculate your average monthly salary, it’s about 2 million won.”
When the average comes out like this, it means there are often times when she earns very little.
“Mr. Bakelende has about 7 years of work site experience, so he earns 5 million won, and when busy, he regularly makes 6 million won.”
– Sigh… Anyone can make money using their body.
“Tower.”
– Ugh! And who keeps saying ‘tower, tower’ from earlier? Are you even the boss?
“Is she talking to This Lady like that right now?”
Ah, shit.
The Elf Queen has truly excellent hearing and moves very quickly for someone who’s 1,901 years old.
She immediately leans over this way and shouts into the mobile phone.
“Are you talking to This Lady like that right now?! This Lady is a premium customer here! You’re the one causing the disturbance, you fool!”
– What? F-fool? You bitch! How old are you!
“1,901 years old! What, got a problem with that?!”
– 1,901 years old? Just listening to your voice, you sound young – where do you get off mocking an adult!
Customer Seo Jin-mi screaming hysterically.
And.
“Ehehe, d-do I look a bit young?”
“…”
Damn, at this point, isn’t this dementia?
Does dementia come in second intervals because she’s 1,901 years old?
Look at how she completely forgot what she was fighting about and is now grinning just because someone said she looks young.
– Ah, forget it! I’m going to quit now, so just cancel my membership.
“Then Customer, could you please pay this month’s membership fee and additional matching costs?”
– …Didn’t I pay that already?
Kim Yang immediately brings the Account Book.
“You haven’t paid anything at all.”
– Ahem, B-Boss. Actually, I have money coming in two days from now, so if I could pay then.
“That won’t do. If customers are late with payments, we can’t pay our employees’ salaries either.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Kim Yang immediately began making headbutting motions in the air.
“Sa-salary! Be-Beef! Ti-tips! He-Headbutt!”
