Paying Careers

The engagement is over. An event that required two months of preparation, passed by in a matter of hours. Many impressions are stored in the hearts of everyone after undergoing this event. And so does James.

The guess he feared happened. The sizeable differences in status, wealth, and power between his family and the Adipratama family make his love and sincerity for Celine questionable. Most people would have guessed that he was a man who used Celine just to raise status and gain a splash of wealth.

Sonic's words clarified all of those things. If from the inside he has received accusations, what about outsiders? Fortunately, he had anticipated this when asking Mr. Adipratama for this engagement to be held closed only to the family.

The grapevine of Sonic's words alone has made itself hot. What if he heard that prejudice came out of many people and became a rumor in a company as big as Adipratama Group? He was not sure his heart would be able to hold it. Especially when you think of Celine. He really did not want the girl to be considered stupid, blind, or bucin just because she chose herself.

Therefore, James is well aware that he must prepare his career well in order to keep up with Celine. And the closest step he can target is that he must pass the CPNS.

After passing the administrative selection, James was faced with a competency test. This year's competency test uses a computer assisted test (CAT) system that is carried out in the offices of the State Staff Agency (BKN) both central and regional regions, according to the domicile of examinees. To pass, James must pass the threshold value (passing grade) that has been set by BKN.

The implementation of this competency test is divided gradually and takes months. After the implementation of SKD and declared pass, the competency test is continued with the SKB exam. SKB graduation was announced less than a month from the implementation of the exam.

Although James successfully passed the competency exam, it turns out the process of becoming a PNS is still long. The next stage James had to do was the blessing. The certification stage is a data collection process as in the administrative stage with the aim of setting the Employee Parent Number (NIP).

After James obtained the NIP, he submitted the Calculated Start Date (TMT) appendix, which would become the basis for the issuance of the Warrant for Carrying Out Tasks (SPMT). James then followed the CPNS reception ceremony and pledged/vows there.

As a CPNS, James began working according to the date stated on the SPMT. For the next three months, James attended the most Basic Training Education (Diklatsar) or Prajobatan. There he learned about the values of PNS and Kopassus state defense. In addition, he is also required to design an actualization that will be presented at the end of the class.

After Diklatsar, James entered work as usual. He just waited for the results of the Diklatsar he occupied. In order to be appointed as PNS, James must obtain a score above 70. If he graduates, he will get the Certificate of End of Pre-School Education and Training (STTP) stipulated by the Officer of Staffing.

Currently, he is entering the CPNS trial period which will last for 1-2 years. If the performance is assessed well by his superiors and declared physically and spiritually healthy by the Testing Team, then later he was allowed to follow the Handover Department (Sertijab) which became a sign that he officially became a PNS.

Not only did James struggle with his career, the same thing happened to Darrell. After his studies, his life's access to live in Paris was revoked by his father. Like it or not, he has to go back to Indonesia and follow in his father's footsteps working in the family company.

There he was introduced as the adopted son of Director Andreas Adipratama to avoid suspicion. The reason is, people in the company already know the face of Rosita, the legal wife of the Director. As such, such dissimilarities are expected not to develop into negative rumors.

Hearing the complaint of the Brother, Adrian Adipratama explained his consideration. "It was done to avoid the company from being accused of practicing nepotism, Sister. Indeed, this company is a family company, but not necessarily every family member who started working in this company immediately occupied the position of Director, right? We have to be fair to those who progress from the bottom."

"Why can Celine?" andreas Fudding.

"Because Celine entered this company as a potential heir, Dik. He will be my successor. That's why I placed him in a position one level below the President Director, the Director. So does your son. Since he will be your successor, I put him in a position one level below the Director, the Manager. I think I'm fair enough with such consideration, " Adrian replied.

Andreas Adipratama can only be silent to get such an explanation. Although he still objected, he could not deny the consideration of his brother.

Seeing his brother speechless, Adrian continued his words. "I think, if the position of Director in a company is held by many people who come from one family, it can reduce the image of the company, Dik. Therefore, educate your son to be your successor, until he deserves to be a Director. Just like I educated Celine to be my successor. And when that time comes, let's retire together."

Andreas could not give any response. He eventually resigned and left the room.

Unlike his father, Darrell accepts the decision nonchalantly. He did not care about his status in the Adipratama Company. From the beginning he worked here just because he was told to work. In his mind, the important thing is that he can live comfortably and calmly, enjoying work as part of his new life.

On the other hand, it was precisely Celine who felt bad when she heard the decision. Indeed, he had also heard the explanation of the Father and understood the logic of His thinking. He also cannot oppose it. But he quite understood the feelings that might arise in the hearts of his uncle and cousin.

Darrell's entry into the company brought a new atmosphere. Initially, all employees became excited by the presence of foreign men in their environment. The nervousness was most felt in the division where Darrell was. They are afraid of communication difficulties due to language differences that have the potential to be difficult at work.

But that anxiety disappeared in an instant. Darrell is fluent in Indonesian. The other employees, especially those working under Darrell became quiet.

Darrell soon became the center of attention. His unmarried status coupled with his Caucasoid handsome face, made him a cult of female employees.

But unfortunately Darrell's attitude is inversely proportional to his level. Darrell only speaks as necessary according to his work. He never seemed to smile. He remains a respected lone wolf.
