“This bastard is being damned again.”

I waved my hand roughly and put the quest window away.

The management system that suddenly appeared one day, promising to make me the best manager, seemed to want me to become a golden bastard.

They set out as quests actions such as blaming a junior manager as the culprit of the incident and telling them to get away with it, or trying to create a rift between the entertainment company and the celebrity they are affiliated with and take the celebrity out, all while giving up their conscience.

Is this a manager’s quest or an industrial spy’s quest? .

I ignored most quests that made such immoral demands.

To succeed at work and be recognized as competent, it was enough to complete a few quests that did not compromise one’s morals.

Of course, it seemed obvious that if you followed all the quests, you would achieve more success and reach a higher status.

But I didn’t want to be the person who sold my conscience.

Rather, I wanted to become a person who went a little further as a human being.

Yes. I wanted to be a good person.

I do not want to become a saint who demonstrated a spirit of sacrifice that would be included in the Great People Exhibition.

The good person I want is closer to a friendly neighbor.

A person who everyone welcomes.

The world is not meant to be lived alone.

As you live, you will inevitably form relationships with people.

In that relationship, I wanted to remain a good person rather than a selfish guy.

That’s why I didn’t ignore my acquaintances who were going through difficult times.

I treated my acquaintance’s crisis as if it were my own and did not hesitate to roll up my sleeves.

I wasn’t afraid to give of my time, money, and opportunities.

As I lived like that, I began to be regarded as an outcast in the management world.

The call to have a drink rang every day.

People assured me that if there was anything they could do to help, I could always tell them.

I was satisfied.

I was proud of my choice and dedication.

Even more than the money and position I had accumulated, I considered my vast connections to be my greatest assets.

Then one day, a controversy arose between my company Flower Entertainment and its artists over an unfair contract.

Artists who were working together asked me for help.

Accordingly, the system issued a quest to eliminate trainees who sided with the company and rebelled.

But I ignored that request and acted to be a good person.

We united the rights of artists and helped with legal battles.

However, the legal battle, which was thought to be easily concluded, proceeded slowly.

As the settlement process took longer, there were artists who felt their livelihood was threatened.

When we were contemplating what method we should take for them, Bae Sang-cheol, who had competed and clashed opinions with us at Flower Entertainment for ten years, made a suggestion.

“Taeyang, I have clashed with you in various ways, but this time, I sympathize with your thoughts.”

Ban Sang-cheol spoke in a more serious voice than ever.

“The current company has crossed a line. They are completely ignoring their duties as human beings. “You are the only one who can protect them now.”

“… “Isn’t this a f*cking attempt to f*ck me?”

“Not this time, bastard. Have you ever seen me playing with the kids’ food rope?”

That was correct. Ban Sang-cheol loved children.

Even though that love was too much and he became an asshole who was accused of s*xual harassment after sniffing a trainee’s sweatpants.

“And this is something only you can do! So, take your kids and become independent. They’re tied to the company now, so if they can even participate in events, it’s not a big deal to make money, right? “I will help you as much as I can with cleaning things up and persuading the kids.”

Having gathered Flower Entertainment’s internal information, I accepted the offer.

As Bae Sang-cheol said, I was the only one who would be on the side of those children.

Artists who rebelled against the company and had nowhere else to go were dragged out and a new company was formed.

All my acquaintances who knew the situation supported me and said they would give me strength.

It felt like the world was cheering me on.

That’s how I stepped into the wild world of entertainment.

Flower Entertainment’s fraud was very blatant.

The artists I brought with me were not allowed to appear on broadcasts, and I made the event staging company omit them.

Still, I believed in my connections.

If you have the strength of those people who told you to call them at any time if you need help, it won’t be difficult to overcome these difficulties.

That was the beginning of the downfall.

Mint, who I discovered and elevated to become a successful singer.

PD Kim Han-soo also failed in company politics, but survived with my help.

Composer Jinwoo Oh was also able to prevent suspicions of plagiarism with my help.

Everyone ignored me.

Excuses varied.

Because I couldn’t get permission from my boss.

Because right now is a difficult time.

Because the other person is also holding a grudge against you.

But in the end, there was only one reason.

It was because I was no longer a helpful person.

“Do these kids know that I have a weakness for them?”

The materials I obtained as rewards from the quest remained with me.

In my mind, I wondered if I should just give up and blow this all up.

But when I did that, I was worried about the children who would have to endure the aftermath.

I had someone to protect.

Okay, what’s wrong with the kids… . I’ll have to endure it.

To endure the bitter taste of that harsh reality, I poured alcohol into my empty stomach.

“Oppa, why are you drinking alone at this hour?”

“Oh, you’re a tax collector? This shouldn’t be done at work, but it shows a bad image. “I’ll sort it out right away.”

Seri sighed softly and said.

“What’s going on?”

“That’s not a big deal… .”

I couldn’t hold back and let out the anger in my heart.

He was complaining that all his acquaintances, who were singing to him to repay the favor, had turned away.

As the president, I knew I shouldn’t have done that, but since I was a tax collector who always treated me warmly, I complained.

I felt relieved because she was like a younger sister who always believed in me and followed me.

“Oppa, so what do you want to say?”

Therefore, Seri’s next words were a completely unexpected reaction to me.

“Did you hope that I would take your side by defending you by saying no? Or did you want me to criticize them for being bad people?”

“… “Is it Seri?”

“Aha, brother, did you want me to comfort you that there was nothing wrong?”

“no… , Seriya. I didn’t want that… . sorry. You must have had a hard time too, but you complained.”

Hagiya, the tax collector should have been patient, but I showed an ugly side.

Let’s appease a struggling leader.

“I will run harder. Release your anger.”

“ha… , Do you still say that now?”

Said Se-ri, tidying up her hair as if she was frustrated.

“Oppa, do you think everyone likes you and wants to get close to you? no. All of that made my brother look like a hogu, so I just sucked up the sweet water and threw it away.”

If it had been before, I would have refuted it.

But it was something I couldn’t deny now.

Still, it didn’t mean there was nothing to say.

“That may have been the case, but Seri, you stayed with me even when I was having a hard time.”

Yes. Seri stayed with me even when I was having a hard time.

That was the reason I was still able to have strength.

“You said you stayed? under… “That’s exactly why I came here to talk.”

The tax collector handed over a folder.

“This?”

“Can’t you read? “It’s a contract, right?”

The document was a transfer contract stating that he would return to Flower Entertainment.

Since I had rebelled, it would have been difficult to receive good treatment, so I wondered if it was a good choice.

“… What about the other members? Did you all agree?”

“I decided to represent him because it was uncomfortable to see his face. “It wasn’t something I decided on my own; it was a conclusion we reached after much discussion between us.”

… I see Even if you collect it, both Rainsy and Hawon are of the same opinion.

“Don’t make things complicated, just let us go. “If it’s not hypocrisy and it’s really for us.”

Seri left the president’s office without saying those words.

I sent her away without saying anything or holding her.

I was in a daze, not even touching the poured drink.

The publican’s words, asking them to let them go if it were not hypocrisy, rang in my ears.

Since the kids were out of my hands anyway, I was thinking about giving up and blowing them up with Flower Entertainment.

But I finally made up my mind.

“Yes, if there is a lifeboat, people will survive.”

Of course, even if you survived with a lifeboat, enduring the huge ocean waves was another matter.

So, if I really cared for my children, there was one thing I had to do.

I contacted Seongcheol, who helped me become independent.

“Seongcheol, I’m sorry you must be busy.”

“Okay, Taeyang, what’s going on?”

“If you saw the contract, you already know, but the kids decided to go back. … It won’t be easy to adapt to the fact that you leave in a bad mood and then go back.”

“… I guess so. From the company’s point of view, you will be considered a traitor.”

“that’s right. So, the company might hold a grudge and just run around the venue or force a low-level schedule.”

Flower Enter is a company that will remain as such.

“Of course, it’s a job that can be done enough because it’s a money-making pro, but we can still do it as long as we keep our duty as human beings.”

“… .”

“You mediate well in the middle. The only person I can trust is you.”

“Poop… .”

As soon as I finished speaking, Bae Sang-cheol laughed so hard that the phone rang because he thought that part was so funny.

Even though we have been seeing each other for over ten years, this was the first time I saw him bursting into laughter like that.

“Hey, are you really stupid?”

“… uh?”

“I’m the only one you can trust? hehehehe. “Do you know who blocked the music room and made composers not provide songs, and are you throwing out such mantras?”

“… “Was it you?”

“Yeah man! I sent you away and did it to gain recognition from the company. hehehehe. “Thanks to you, I’ve been promoted. I’ll go with it.”

Ban Sang-cheol spoke in a refreshing voice.

“after… I feel refreshed. Don’t you know how much of a dog I sound every time I say that we must follow our human duties? “Do you know how much I get treated every time you say only nice things and cosplay as a good person?”

“… .”

“Is that what a businessman would say? “You should have been ruined a long time ago!”

Such a bastard.

“If this bastard only gets into trouble, it’s strange that he catches up with the accomplishments he managed to achieve by making a fuss while others were pooping, as if it’s only natural that he graduated from high school! “If you look at this, do you know how disgusting it is!”

“… I didn’t know you’d think that far. “Even though we fought, didn’t we get along pretty well?”

“I guess I was really good at acting for people to see me putting up with sh*t and bowing down like that.”

Anger and resentment threatened to overflow in my heart.

I barely swallowed it and spoke calmly.

I wanted to hear a word that said he would take care of the Grace members.

No, you have to listen. If not, it seemed like everything would explode.

“Seongcheol, still. “There was no need to go this far, was there?”

“To this extent?”

“If you didn’t want to see me, I became invisible the moment I became independent, so instead of interfering, I should have just behaved like a stranger. “I’m getting a promotion, so it’s obvious you’ll get it anyway.”

“Oh, that could be true. … But there’s no reason not to do it, right? “It’s so refreshing!”

Only Seongcheol’s laughter echoed in my small boss’s office.

“Thank you for your hard work for being hypocritical!”

The call was disconnected, and a low mechanical sound rang out.

My stomach rumbled.

I checked my smartphone.

There was no contact at all.

Just three months ago, my smartphone was ringing non-stop.

I was the only person in the cramped CEO’s office.

What I had been holding back with all my might, pretending to be strong, burst out.

“Black… , black.”

I was angry at Seongcheol, but it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

Couldn’t there be at least one person in the world who hates me for no reason?

Hoping that everyone likes me is rather an insane greed.

But that’s it.

Just like anyone in the world can hate me for no reason.

Couldn’t there have been at least one person who truly cared for me?

Although Seongcheol is in a high position and Flower Entertainment is a large company, he does not have the power to overwhelm the entire entertainment industry.

You can ask other agencies, celebrities, composers, and producers to boycott your company.

However, what was offered in return would have been at most a contract for a few songs, a promise to appear on a celebrity, or even an implicit promise to maintain a good relationship.

Although it may have a negative impact on your location, it is a suggestion that you can easily ignore if you want to ignore it.

However, there was no one who ignored that level of damage and helped me.

Not a single one.

I tried to hold back the thought that it was such a shame, but I couldn’t stop crying.

I felt very stupid.

The way he was innocently acting like a bully and wagging his tail happily couldn’t have made him look that stupid.

I thought it was ugly to see him dragging himself around miserably and alone.

“f*ck… , f*ck. “Black”

The hope of becoming a good person seemed truly foolish.

I wanted to do it again.

If given just one chance, just once, I could become a more selfish person than anyone else.

I was confident that I would follow all the quests no matter how cruel the management system requested.

At that time, a quest came down to me who had lost everything.

[Please slap Banseong-cheol, the director of Flower Entertainment, on the back of the head and teach him the lesson that violence is always nearby.]

[Reward – Reversion Candy]

It was an opportunity I had longed for.
