“Is there a meeting I need to attend today?” ethan asked as he and Agung walked out of the meeting room with the deputy directors.
Agung checked the book he brought with him, before finally saying, “No sir, but it seems from the public relations* want to announce about the temporary ceo change, but it seems, so maybe later you will get an interview offer from the media,” said Agung explained.
(Public relations, but it seems cooler if written public relations plaque)
It is very natural for public relations parties to want to announce the change of ceo while they are, because one of the main functions of a ceo is to build and maintain the reputation of the company.
How can he maintain the reputation of the company if he is not known? As the saying goes, don't know then don't love.
How would potential customers be interested in using their services if the current leader of their company is unknown. What else is the rumor about the company's leader, Wang Jia Li's mother, reportedly being sick from having a heart attack.
“Has the press release* regarding the ailing Mother Wang been issued?” ethan asked as he and Agung were waiting for the elevator to go up.
(*information in the form of news made by Public Relations (PR) an organization/company submitted to press managers/mass media editors (tv, radio, print media, etc, online media) to be published in the mass media.)
“Not yet, but there are already rumors that Ms. Wang is currently sick,” Agung said.
The elevator finally went up and the door opened, Ethan and Agung then entered the elevator. After pressing button 6, the elevator closed again.
“Remember,” call Ethan before opening the door to his office. Although Agung is actually older than Ethan, but because of his current position and for the sake of working professionals, Ethan only calls him by name. Agung also did not mind and called Ethan with an additional “pak” to show his respect.
“Yes, sir Ethan?” tanya Agung who stood up from his seat.
“Please tell the public relations team not to issue a press release about Wang's sick mother or me being a temporary ceo,” said Ethan finally. He did not want to risk being caught by the agency company where he is currently residing because he secretly sneaked to come to Indonesia
Agung looked at Ethan for a moment, as if saying, “Are you sure of what you are doing right now?” but Ethan just smiles then goes back into his office.
Agung eventually contacted the public relations team, and as he suspected, they objected to the decision.
“You how else, that's an order from the boss!” said Agung who immediately issued a card “command from bos”, a card that is very absolute, which can not be denied by anyone. Wanna argue? Get out of the company!

Upon returning to his room, Ethan is again preoccupied with reading the documents he needs to see and he signs.
“It looks like the last time I read this much is fitting again stacking the thesis, deh,” thought Ethan who then leaned on his leather chair. The last time he read that much when he was in college in London, he still remembered he had to go back and forth to the library to read a book or read a journal.
While again taking a break while twirling his office chair, Ethan again remembered the woman he met earlier in front of the office, Ethan, for some reason he became very interested because the woman always put a false expression on the people around her. Ethan then immediately squeezed the intercom to summon Agung once.
“Yes, Mr. Ethan,” replied Agung across.
“You remember there was not a girl like to wear a campus alma mater suit that I met this morning in the lobby?” ask Ethan.
Agung seemed to think for a while before finally answering, “Iya, I remember, what's up?”
“Try to find out who he is,” said Ethan before finally closing his call again.
A few minutes later, a call came in from Ethan's intercom.
“Ya?” answer Ethan.
“I've managed to find her, the girl named Carolina Akai, she's an intern who just entered today in the IT department,” said Agung.
Ethan smiles with satisfaction, as expected from his papa's company secretary.
“Oh good job, please call the intern to my room,” replied Ethan.
“Ehem, sorry Mr. Ethan, I think it would be inappropriate if you directly call an intern on his first day,” said Agung advising. He did not want to interfere in the affairs of his boss romance, but it seems his boss is too young and inexperienced.
Bad rumors can come out of it, so Agung tries to advise him.
Ethan thought for a while, trying to interpret what Agung said, after understanding his point, he replied, “Ah, this is not what you imagined, really! Isn't there usually something the leader should sign on the intern's report?” ethan asked for an excuse.
“Oh yes, have you booked a flight to South Korea?” ethan wants to change the conversation.
“What ticket?” tanya Agung was confused.
“Ah, I seem to have forgotten to know that I can only be in the office every Monday,” said Ethan finally realized that he forgot to tell Agung that.
“I guess I also forgot to know papa same mom, deh. Will you be angry again, huh?” thought.
Agung finally realized why his new boss had the vice directors in the meeting room to gather their reports to him in the form of files.
“Well Mr. Ethan, I will book a ticket to Seoul and call the intern to the father's office,” said Agung before finally closing the call.
Ethan turned back around the chair he was sitting in and a smile was etched on his face.

“Anjir! I'm here his intention to intern, not be a kek gini errand boy,” Inner Carolina when he was in the elevator.
“Not mean I also hope to get something anyway from this company.” thought again. From the beginning he had indeed come here as a formality to qualify before taking the Final Task. So Carolina didn't expect to learn anything here, but that doesn't mean she has to be an errand boy to buy people's cigarettes and bottled drinks here.
After exiting the elevator, Carolina headed outside to go to BetaMart, which is not too far from the NamTech company's office.
“Mana the weather is really hot, again!” caroline then opened her alma mater coat.
After arriving at BetaMart, Carolina headed straight to the drink cabinet and returned to the cashier.
“The same beta cigarette is one pack mbak,” said Carolina.
“Total 38 thousand 700 feet, all charge, kak?” said the cashier. Carolina then spent the 50 thousand dollars she was given.
“If buy something continue to charge pulse can discount not mbak?” ask Carolina suddenly. He had never shopped at this minimarket, who knew there was such a rule, right?
“Sorry, no,” said the cashier with a smile.
“300 silver can be donated not kak?” ask the cashier again when he sees no change in change.
“Oh, here I have 200 silver, backin 500 aja, mbak,” said Carolina then opened the coin wallet she brought. He had indeed previously deliberately brought a wallet, just in case there was something he could buy.
But after seeing the price of snacks that he ate more expensive 300 silver from the minimarket where he usually bought his snacks, he immediately undoes his intentions.
“Sorry brother, the dime is no more. Can his 300 be donated?” ask the cashier again, trying to stay friendly.
“Nih 700 silver,” said Carolina once again took out 500 silver dime from her wallet.
“What the heck mbaknya,” thought the cashier. But Carolina didn't care about the cashier's gaze, and they wouldn't see each other again.
After all, 300 silver was worth tau! For each transaction, he had to donate 300 silver. Ten times the transaction is 3 thousand!
He could buy fried food with that money!
“This is the change,” said the cashier who returned 1 sheet of money 10 thousand and 1 sheet of money 2 thousand. The cashier then saw Carolina put the 2 thousand in her wallet and took out a thousand.
“Bby pack plastic gak, mbak?” caroline asked when she saw the cigarette and coffee bottle just placed in front of her.
“Ah yes, sis,” said the cashier then took the plastic again and put in the coffee bottle and the cigarette.
“This is my order, thanks, yes!” said the cashier then smiled.
“Sial very early in the morning already can customers like gini,” thought the cashier.
Carolina who could see the cashier didn't like him, just ignored him.
“Lumayan can get a thousand,” Inner Carolina while smiling satisfied.
