Chapter 158: Hypocrite (2)
“Did you have any strange thoughts?”
I wondered if I had made a mistake, but nothing came to me. It didn’t help that I currently felt dizzy.
“Is it a problem that Haitian is here?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what was wrong with what I’ve said.”
“Yes? There’s no pub in this motel?”
“A-Are you being serious right now? Jung Haitian is right next to you…”
‘Was I rude?’
“What are you…”
‘What is this kid talking about?’
In the first place, I wasn’t his type. Upon opening the door, the motel’s guide approached us.
‘What a welcomed situation!
‘Your innocent imagination…’
“The male employees were driven to the streets, and the heads of households became unemployed and headed to the hunting grounds in order to feed their children. Even a young man who had just gotten a job is living and begging in the slums because she was fired.”
“That… That’s good.”
“Are you criticizing me?”
As I continued to show a disbelieving expression, Cho Hyejin blushed as if he became even more embarrassed. As he started to realize her mistake, Jung Haitian spoke.
“Their number of guild staff has decreased a lot. Many people lost their jobs overnight. I heard that most of them are in a bad situation either by taking their own lives or by forcibly hunting.”
“I don’t…”
“Ah…”
“…”Cho Hyejin busied herself with looking around, realizing what he had done wrong.
“That… That…”
Cho Hyejin sat quietly and looked at me with an awkward expression. This seemed to be the first time he came to such a place. It was a little luxurious, but it was not so much that Cho Hyejin, who was once a Litte Rock executive, couldn’t have passed by.
Though I was just teasing her, I could see I wasn’t someone he trusted. Though polygamy and polyandry were commonly seen here, my relationships were indeed messy. It seemed like he was wary of the fact that I might try to possess her, too.
“What things?”
“Yes. We will guide you right away.”
“It’s nothing.”
“That…”
“It’s a little disappointing.”
“Should I care about that too? They committed a crime!”
“I-I’m sorry.”
“I must have told you earlier. I salad that you should always be aware of which position you are in. Have you ever thought about the consequences of whistleblowing?”
“Yes. Okay. Then have a good time.”
“Hahaha. It’s not useless.”
“It’s…not like that.”
“Ah…”
“If you could get us a quiet place, I’d really appreciate it.”
Even if he gave him only one, she would be remarkably happy, but when he just grabbed what his hand could get, it seemed that the guide had received at least five. her face showed her disbelief at her luck.
“You don’t have to worry about it. I’m quite familiar with this kind of thinking…”
“Then… How about killing some time with me for a while, and then go?”
“That… Is that true?”
“If it’s only for a while…”
“Ah. I am not here to stay. I want to spend a little time at the lounge bar or pub.”
Cho Hyejin went silent for a moment before he nodded.
Even Jung Haitian wouldn’t misunderstand that.
“I think I can tell how Cho Hyejin sees me now…”
Personally, I chose to believe in the latter. It was hard to imagine his being underpaid.
‘It’s not that I didn’t think about it…’
At this point, Cho Hyejin had on a disconcerted look, which was only natural.
“I think I’m a little tipsy and have salad useless things. I didn’t call you to talk about this. In a way, it can be seen as an extension line. Ahem. I don’t know if you know, but today, I signed a contract with the Master of Little Rock.”
The problem was not in my words, but the environment surrounding us. It is clear that he misunderstood what I had meant, as we stood in front of a luxury motel on a dark night.
At my words, Jung Haitian took out a bunch of gold coins from his purse. I tilted my head.
Either Song Jungwook was stingier than I thought, or Cho Hyejin chose to live a modest life.
“Are you really sorry?”
“N-no, it’s not that.”
“Yes.”
Certainly, having money was convenient. As I went upstairs, I noticed a nice seat where we could observe the city from above.
“I’m sorry?”
“Yes.”
“What about the order?”
“You can bring anything that tastes good, regardless of the price.”
The fact that I could make fun of his was an advantage. There was always a good chance that Cho Hyejin would reject any offer I make with her, but since he had committed a mistake this time around, I knew he would feel guilty if he dared rejected me this time around.
“Yes.”
“A modest… I think you can say that. I certainly don’t remember spending gold coins in useless places.”
‘Why give him so much?’
“N-Nothing. I guess I was seeing things for a moment.”
“Huh? Yes…”
“Have you heard?”
“You have not contributed anything. Even in the development of Castle Rock, nothing has been done properly in carrying out your beliefs. I couldn’t find the evidence, and I was just thinking about it. You didn’t do anything other than resolving personal remorse. Even if the plan were successful, I would have called you an idiot.”
“Well, I’m joking. I salad something that could be misunderstood. My relationships are not so clean, so It would be natural for you to think of me like that.”
“What?”
“It is not a good thing to stack gold coins. It means that you have to consume it to use its function properly. People who have gold coins must sprinkle gold coins in society for society to work properly. I think you understand what I mean.”
“The issue of the interracial slave trade was also entangled.”
“The guide who we just tipped will also spend it, and the gold we spend here today will be spent somewhere else. You go into a restaurant or shop run by an ordinary free man or poor imperial man, and someone else spends again. As you may know, the person at the top of the pyramid must reasonably roll down gold coins to make the economy more active.”
“I know what you mean, but…”
“Yes?”
“I don’t know if I’m mistaking, but your tone sounds like you’re looking down on me…”
“Vice Guild Master. T-that way…”
“You mean the Vice Guild Master is on top of them?”
“Yes. Personally, I think that having such awareness makes it a little easier to face. You have to keep thinking about where you are, and what impact you can create.”
“It’s hard to understand what you want to talk about. Vice Guild Master.”
“Hello. Do you have a reservation?”
he had seen me as a person who had just molested his junior at work.
As expected, Hyejin sported a dissatisfied expression. At this point, I no longer found a reason to hide the fact that I knew about her. In fact, I wanted to discuss it in detail.
“I heard you’ve been in Castle Rock for a while, but that’s surprising. I thought you would have visited many good places because you were an executive in Little Rock… It seems that you lived a modest life while you were here.”
“Are you talking about you being a whistleblower?”
“No. I made all this up.”
“Yes, I heard about why you left Little Rock, and why you left Castle Rock and came to Lindel. I didn’t even ask; he told me first. It seemed that you were being resented a little. And it is understandable. You’ve been betraying your colleagues that you have been together with since the tutorial.”
“Is this your first time in a place like this?”
I noticed it slowly, but Kim Hyunsung was not a simple boss to this woman.
Was it really necessary for his to react that way to my offer? I could see why Song Jungwook had salad he was an inflexible person.
“What did Hyunsung-ssi say when brought Hyejin-ssi to the guild?”
“He salad it didn’t matter.”
I could see that his expression was slightly relaxed.
“I just salad you are stupid for the same reason. It means that leaving it to your conscience does not solve everything, Cho Hyejin-ssi. You have to strangle a little more if you wanted to end it. In the end, you did something that was enough for you to be hated by many.”
“It seems that almost everyone knows. I don’t know why you tried to hide it in the first place, but it is something that I would find out anyway.”
‘He did it.
“What are you t-talking about?”
“Rather, she salad I did well. It is important to carry out your own beliefs… That’s what she said.”
“That’s a reasonable argument. This is like Hyunsung-ssi. The same goes for me. I don’t blame you either. Didn’t you accuse them of illegal monster trading and tax issues?”
“Ah…”
“Oh, that’s news I haven’t heard. Well, it’s okay. I will talk openly. I don’t blame you, but I do think you’re stupid.”
“This society is not very friendly to whistleblowers. No matter how much you carried through your convictions, you are really stupid when you look at the results. Why did you do that?”
“You are stupid.”
“I don’t mean that!”
“Let’s go there.”
“It’s hard to understand what you’re talking about. You certainly have said earlier that you are not criticizing.”
Upon seeing his reddened face, I understood what Cho Hyejin had been thinking.
‘Huh…’
“Is there any problem…?”
“It was not about them that you were told to think. I’m talking about a lot of people who will be hurt because of you, and that is Little Rock. After that happened, they salad they were forced into restructuring. The charges were cleared, but the tax issue was indeed entangled.”
“Yes.”
“That…”
“I am not. But it is necessary to be aware.”
“Good. Then let’s go in.”
“It’s nothing.”
“V-Vice Guild Master? Are you playing with me?”
“However, it’s not a story without reality. In fact, it may not have been as said, but some may really be living that way. I just didn’t look it up. If you decide to find it, you can easily find it. The dear old colleagues you really wanted to accuse are still eating and living well, but only the tough people were hurt.”
I didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but Kim Hyunsung certainly flagged this woman.
‘Ahhh.’
“A-Ah. Maybe there is.”
“Do you know how many employees Little Rock Guild has? This includes those who do not participate in work, or are forced to cooperate with the Guild Master to live and eat. You are not the one who can take responsibility for their lives. At this point, it is time to think that it is fortunate that it has failed. Hundreds of unemployed people were not driven into the streets.”
“Have you ever thought about this type of problem at all?”
