Chapter 968 – Side Story – Empty Position That Cannot Be Filled (3)

“Can you tell me roughly what the Geumhyang Group is in right now?”

In fact, seeing Eunbyeol appear for the first time in a long time, I had some expectations of what had happened.

First, the fact that she dyed her hair black again and returned to me means that she will not have to return to the Geumhyang Group for a while, and that she has finished the troublesome work she was talking about.

“To begin with, we have succeeded in securing a 51% stake in Geumhyang Chemical, which is currently Geumhyang’s actual representative company.

In the process, public opinion was formed through Geumdallae, investment funds were attracted, and laws were revised through political lobbying…”

“…”

Of course, I don’t know much about politics or economics, so the only things I heard were difficult to understand, so I could only nod my head, but if I were to summarize what Eunbyeol said, it was roughly like this.

Geumhyang is now completely in Eunbyeol’s hands and this will not change. Since he left the actual management to Geum Dal-rae, who was appointed as Chairman of Baji, he was freed from the cumbersome position of Chairman.

Therefore, the answer was that I would be able to faithfully focus on my maid work again from now on, so to be honest, this was the most important news to me.

Thanks to Eun-byeol’s service, which she had become completely accustomed to over the past few months of living together, she couldn’t help but feel sorely missed without her.

‘I feel a little sorry that I took the maid away from Sihee for no reason.’

In the first place, Eun-byeol’s role as Si-hee’s maid was merely an act of hiding temporarily to avoid Geum-hyang’s pursuit, and the original relationship between the two was closer to a friendship than a master-slave relationship.

On the other hand, Eunbyeol and I met in a way that was close to a master-slave relationship from the first time we met, so if we were to return to our original relationship, it would have been right to return to the relationship of master and maid.

“By the way, Eunbyeol.”

“Yes, master.”

“Now that I think about it, the last time we talked, I think I asked you to be a secretary instead of a maid from now on, wasn’t that right?”

“…”

A black-haired maid who avoids my gaze and looks at me with a puzzled expression.

To be honest, I also liked the maid a little better than the female secretary. Originally, a maid uniform was something of a man’s dream, and no matter how much you think about it, Eun-byeol looked much better as a maid than as a female secretary in a suit.

“Sorry. If it becomes a problem, I will change into a suit immediately.”

“… No, now that I think about it, I think it would be okay to wear a maid uniform. Since it’s been a while since I came back, it’s probably better to be familiar with it.”

“… Is that so?”

“Eunbyeol, you also prefer wearing a maid’s uniform, so you went to work in that outfit, right? Right?”

“… “Yes.”

“Rather than that, would you mind making me a cup of coffee in the bathroom next door? “Maybe because I didn’t have a secretary for a long time, I always brewed it with my own hands, but I want to drink the coffee that Eunbyeol brewed for the first time in a long time.”

“Yes!”

As soon as she returned to her long-vacant position, Eunbyeol began to focus on her duties as his maid.

Even though she reappeared with the title of actual president of Geumhyang Group while I was not seeing her, she was still my precious maid who listened to me well.

‘Now that Eunbyeol has returned, I have to do what I have to do.’

The position of guild leader means being the final approval point for all documents generated within the guild.

In addition, there were a lot of documents that could only be filled out with the authority of the guild leader, so there was a mountain of work to do.

‘Budget plan for purchasing Cheonhwa AI learning module for hunter training room?’

… Now that I think about it, there was something similar in the company training room. In my case, I thought actual training was more important, so I rarely used it.

As my goal is to run a guild where no one dies, it was not a waste of money to spend money on training or improving the survival skills of individual hunters. It was quite a bit of money, but I decided to approve it for now…

“Master, I am here.”

“Ah, thank you, Eunbyeol.”

“Oh, if you are planning to purchase an AI learning module for the training room, Libero AI’s product has better learning ability than Chunhwa AI’s product. There is almost no difference in price, so please take note, sir.”

“Huh?”

It looks like the document I was reading caught my eye inadvertently as he brought me coffee.

While I was dazed for a moment after hearing Eunbyeol’s words, she picked up one of the documents that were on my desk and began to read it carefully.

“Wait a moment, master. “Did you recently recruit an S-class hunter to your guild?”

“Oh, yes. A good opportunity just happened to arise.”

“When recruiting an S-class hunter, you must not use documents used for regular hunters.”

“… Huh?”

“Due to the special amendment to the Hunter Special Act, guilds are no longer able to own hunters of S rank or higher, except for the guild leader. Therefore, when recruiting an S-class hunter, you must fill out the ‘priority activity document’ for that hunter, not the ‘recruitment document’…”

“…”

“Oh, I’m sorry… ! How dare I say something presumptuous to my master…”

As soon as I got back, Eunbyeol identified problems with the documents I was writing and pointed out where and how to fix them.

She realized belatedly that she was now my maid and quickly closed her mouth, but I really needed her help.

“No, please continue.”

“… Yes?”

“Could you please review other documents to see if there are any points of improvement? “Please, Eunbyeol.”

“… “I understand, master.”

For me, who is just starting to run a guild for the first time, there is no other piece of advice as important as her words.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

It was a sorry story for Eun-byeol, but she had no choice but to ask me to assist her with her work as soon as she returned.

Not to simply entrust you with the trivial task of managing my schedule, but to seek advice on key aspects of running a guild.

“Ah, I think you’ll have to refill the paperwork for hiring Hunter Yang Mi-yeon here, master.”

“Really?”

“Yes. In accordance with antitrust laws, the number of recovery hunters that can be hired is limited depending on the size of the guild.

Considering the current size of the master’s guild, there is only one recovery type hunter that can be hired, so if you do not plan on hiring another recovery type hunter, first write a recovery type hunter-only employment contract for Hunter Yang Mi-yeon. You can submit your recovery hunter employment certificate to the Korean Hunter Association.”

“Wait a minute, but if I’m a recovery hunter, doesn’t that mean I’m included? Not yet, Teacher Miyeon… No, this was before we hired Hunter Yang Mi-yeon, but does the fact that we can only have one person in our guild mean that we can’t recruit Hunter Yang Mi-yeon?”

“It’s okay. “The master cannot only use the abilities of a recovery type hunter, so there are no procedural problems if you register as a melee type or magic type.”

“… Actually, I registered four types, including the recovery type and the distance type. I think the fact that the multi-awakening is the guild leader can be better utilized for external promotion.”

“… That’s okay too. It may take some time, but deregistering is not that difficult. Regarding the master’s registration as a recovery hunter, I will cancel it as a matter of procedure. “What is the expected date for Hunter Yang Mi-yeon’s recruitment?”

“It’s December this year, so there’s roughly half a year left.”

“That’s more than enough time.”

“… “I’m sorry for bothering you, Eunbyeol.”

“No, this is also my job as the master’s secretary.”

Eunbyeol was truly a trustworthy secretary and maid.

In addition, she teaches me ‘how to run a guild’, such as providing legal knowledge in areas that I do not know, and distinguishing between areas that can be exempted from tax and areas that cannot.

Seeing how all the work I had done over the past six months was changed or rewritten by her, if I had done something wrong, all the documents would have been rejected by the end of this year and I would have been in trouble having to fill them out again.

Since she was suspiciously familiar with the guild’s operation, I found out about her past.

“Have you ever tried managing a guild before, Eunbyeol?”

“I never did it, but there was a time when I thought I should do it. Hunter Guild is one of the most high-value businesses that can be established with just hunter connections and no underlying assets. In addition, tax reduction is basic common sense in running a company, so it is knowledge I have learned since childhood.”

“…”

“Oh, my lord, I’m not saying you’re mismanaging it! When I talk about basic common sense, I am only talking about people who grew up in the same environment as us!”

“… Yes, I know.”

Still, it was inevitable that I felt great again.

It was also not that easy to open and run a hunter guild with momentum alone.
