“’He often verbally abuses employees and often makes disparaging remarks about other creators he knows… ‘ oh my god… ”
Sarah was seen covering her mouth in shock. I put my hand on her shoulder and said.
“How about it? Sarah, you are not fighting alone. This isn’t your fault, and there are so many people who will take your side if you come forward.”
“… that’s right. Suffering alone because of such a bad person would be betraying that trust! I can’t do that to Minho oppa too!”
She clenched her fists and pursed her lips. As expected, it was her mental strength that allowed her to quickly overcome the stalker incident.
After making up her mind, she asked me.
“So what should I do?”
“First of all, our company will take care of all your legal issues. There is no need to avoid it by stressing over it unnecessarily. Instead, I would like to receive contract-related data, conversation content, and call recordings.”
“Oh, I’ll send it to you right away!”
“We will respond to any attempts to contact Crocodile Studio, so Sarah, you can just broadcast as usual. Instead, when the atmosphere heats up a bit, you should announce your position by posting a video or a notice on the channel community like Jang did.”
“Yes… ”
“Don’t think too hard about it. If you write a rough script and show it to us, we will review it and make corrections.”
I said so and asked Maria for confirmation.
‘Maria, how are you? ‘Is this enough?’
-Yes! Thanks to what I figured out in the beginning, before I got involved with Crocodile Studio in terms of business, there wasn’t anything particularly difficult! We haven’t done any advertising through Crocodile Studio yet, and we haven’t even looked for an editor, so we can just split cleanly!
‘Really? What’s the problem with Star Capital’s advertising costs?’
-Of course they have to spit it out. Does it make sense to take away an advertisement that ran before the contract and was paid for after the contract? Rather, it was fortunate that Sarah quickly recognized the poison clause thanks to that.
‘Is that so? As time went by, Sarah worked hard to grow the channel, but when the idiots came out and claimed their shares, my blood pressure almost rose. ‘I’m glad I found out quickly.’
It’s only now that I realize the truth before a full-fledged action is taken, so if something like that had happened, I would have been more stressed and handled it in a more rough way.
“First of all, I’m feeling a bit confused today, so don’t be stubborn about broadcasting for no reason and get some rest.”
After saying that and trying to stand up, Sarah reached out and grabbed the hem of my clothes.
Kkookㅡ
“Can you stay a little longer and leave? At least until Minho oppa’s broadcast starts later… ”
Sarah was looking up at me with eyes like a cat begging for a snack. I smiled and nodded.
“Sure.”
“G, really? Wow… ! Well, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll make it for you, so let’s eat together!”
“Really? I’ve been eating a lot of delivery food lately, so I guess I can look forward to it?”
In fact, my meal was prepared by an android working at home with more skill than a chef. Menus that take both nutrition and taste into consideration.
These days, the types of emergency food stored in inventory have been gradually being replaced. The ratio of delivery food and restaurant food has decreased, and home-cooked food has taken its place.
‘Still, if Sarah says she’ll cook it herself, then of course I’ll have to eat it.’
Isn’t this something you eat with the sincerity of the person who made it?
After saying that with a playful face, Sera started crying.
“It’s not that much… Don’t expect too much!”
“I don’t like it? Are you expecting a lot?”
“Ugh… What were the ingredients… ?”
Sarah hurriedly got up from her seat and ran to the kitchen.
While I was looking at this with a smile on my face, Maria spoke to me.
-master. Deoksu Bang is trying to make a call to Sarah’s smartphone. What should I do?
‘Bangdeoksu?’
I took a quick look to see that Sarah’s smartphone was sitting quietly on the table. It seems that the signal did not come due to Maria’s interference.
“Hmm… First of all, I have some whole canned tomatoes that I bought before, so should I make some pasta? What types of noodles are there?”
Rattling rattling ㅡ
When I saw Sarah looking at the refrigerator with complete concentration, any desire to disturb her disappeared.
It’s gotten a little better now, but if I had to talk to the abuser for no reason, I could suffer psychological damage.
You may say that you are treating a person like an evil spirit, but honestly, when something like this happens, the perpetrator becomes something worse than a evil spirit to the victim.
‘Let’s deal with it without Sarah knowing. Maria you connect the phone with me.’
-all right.
And as soon as Maria finished speaking, the phone rang, audible only to me.
Tuurururuㅡ Tuurururuㅡ
‘Answer the phone.’
Tooru… Pop~
As soon as the signal stopped, we started talking like we did with Maria.
‘hello.’
“Hello.”
Maria converted the thoughts I had in my head into voice and conveyed them to Deoksu Bang.
Instead of Sarah’s voice as expected, I heard Bang Deok-su’s trembling voice, possibly from embarrassment.
-hello. uh… Isn’t this Sarah’s phone number?
“That’s right. I am Sarah’s lawyer.”
-A lawyer?! I already hired a lawyer… ?! No, no… Suddenly, what is that, why on earth would Sarah hire a lawyer?
“Who are you?”
I already knew his identity, but he was still lying that he was a lawyer, so I asked.
-I am… This is Bang Deok-su, the CEO of MCN, which Sarah belongs to.
“Ah, Mr. Bang Deok-su. I know it well. You have become very famous. If you are Bang Deok-su, you probably know why Sarah hired a lawyer, right?”
-… What do you mean by that?
“Crocodile Studio, headed by Bang Deok-soo, raised an objection regarding the distribution of Star Capital’s advertising expenses prior to Sarah’s contract.”
-Well, I don’t know much about that part… If there is a problem, we will punish the employee in charge of the work and provide training again.
Bang Deok-soo must have believed that I was a real lawyer, but his attitude was quite weak. Well, it would be hard to imagine that in today’s world there would be someone pretending to be a lawyer in such a serious matter.
Still, it is clear that this was carried out with the approval of the CEO, but it was also ugly to blame it on the subordinates.
“Well, take care of employee training… And upon review, I found that there were many problems with the contract itself. You made such an unfair contract and then made such a demand. Thanks to this, my client wants to terminate his contract with Crocodile Studios.”
-no… ! Breaking the contract! What nonsense! Does it make sense to say that you changed your mind before the ink was even dry on the contract?!
Bang Deok-su pretended not to know, but when the story of the contract being canceled came up, he reacted by jumping up and down.
“The sooner you prepare for something like this, the better. Rather, my client responded well.”
-Unilateral contract termination requires a penalty. That’s even in the contract…
“That piece of paper, which is almost like a slave document, has no legal effect. And you can understand just by looking at the video posted by Seok-gi Jang. No one is taking Crocodile Studio’s side right now. Even considering the accusation from an internal employee that was just posted, it would be difficult to say that the CEO’s employees are on the same side. Are you really confident that you will take this to trial and win?”
Normally, it would be nearly impossible for an individual to beat a company. There is a large difference in the amount of available funds, and the risk to the company is not that great compared to the losses that individuals must bear during the trial period. Of course, if it becomes a dispute between companies, the story will be different.
Anyway, although Crocodile Studio is now a company, it is almost no different from an individual. Poor funds and a small number of employees who can only be counted on one hand.
To be honest, it seemed like Maria was sorry for getting involved at this level. Because her power was almost absolute in modern times.
“Who said that?”
-What did you just say…? ?
“Oh, it’s nothing. Anyway, our position is this. Please cancel the contract cleanly and return all advertising fees taken by the company. If we do that, there will be no further lawsuits.”
Of course, I was planning on punishing Maria separately after the work was done, but there was no need to say that.
There was no way the greedy man who had pulled this trick in the first place would back down with barely a verbal warning. There is no way Bang Deok-soo could even know anything about Maria on our side.
As expected, Deoksu Bang’s answer did not exceed my expectations.
-… We will have to appoint a separate lawyer and discuss this.
“Of course. From now on, I will refrain from contacting my clients directly. I will send you the contact information separately.”
Pop~
Bang Deok-soo hangs up the phone without answering, probably because he is very upset.
‘A man who is old enough to eat is getting angry. Maria, explode everything now.’
-yes!
The reason we have taken the tempo slowly so far was to control the speed in a way that Sarah, the person involved, could understand. Now that Awaken has been entrusted with handling the work, the leisurely progress is over.
Of course, from Bang Deok-su’s point of view, it did not feel relaxed at all and felt like riding a roller coaster.
As soon as Maria answered, the materials that had been prepared in advance began to be uploaded to the Internet.
