The state palace, Jakarta.
Inside the meeting room, almost all Ministers in Jokowi's presidential cabinet were present including President Jokowi himself. There were also some people dressed in military attire present at the meeting.
Even though they were all gathered in one room, they were not holding an important meeting. They are here only on the basis of their curiosity to a young businessman who was summoned to the state palace by President Jokowi.
When Jani entered the meeting room, he saw many people present and said awkwardly "oh.sorry, sir president! I didn't know that you were having a cabinet meeting. Then I'll wait outside first."
As Jani was about to leave the room, the president stopped him and said "wait, Mr. Gold! There is no cabinet meeting today. They're just curious about your whereabouts that made the whole world panic today."
"ohh, then excuse me!" Jani told the president and sat down in an empty chair. Ayu did not enter the Palace and is currently in a car that is heading to the mall to pick up the Princess. The reason Jani didn't bring Ayu with him was because he already knew, some of the ministers that were here were a striped-nosed man who had a lot of young lady stash.
After Jani sat down, the president then said "alright, Mr. Gold's. Can you explain why you sold the blueprints of your virtual machine all of a sudden?"
"the reason is simple, I need something to develop my virtual machine and it's only in American possession."
"what do you mean?"
"it's not like yesterday I told the group of B.I.N agents who broke into my office what it was."
*BRAAKK*
The sound of the table being hit hard and then followed the words of the angry B.I.N leader "how would they answer! after coming home from your company, they all experienced a strong mental shock and asked about you, they experienced a huge fear. Let me ask you a question, Mr. Gold! What exactly did you do to my men yesterday?"
Jani did not immediately answer the question and instead took out a small book and a pen and wrote something. After writing it down, Jani replied "well, I only gave them a small punishment for their words that upset me, That's all"
Before the B.I.N chairman protested against Jani, Jani first said "president sir! I'm here to file a protest too! That I'm not unexpected******, so why are you monitoring me, tapping my phone!? That's so annoying to know!!"
"hmmph! If you don't want to be spied on, then stop making a fuss that makes the eyes of the world go to you!" ketus a general sitting opposite the general Karto Kencana.
Jani glanced at General Karto then the General immediately noticed Jani's gaze and nodded his head once. Seeing the confirmation from General Karto, Jani said in his heart 'oh! It was fitting that he hated me a bit, it turned out that he was the father of an officer whose face I had thrown at the headmaster's desk at that time.'
"well! I didn't make enough of a furore this time, but still your actions made me uncomfortable. So I suggest you stop doing it. Or else, maybe you should be prepared to see every day that there's a government agent I'm sending to the hospital."
"how dare you threaten the government like that! Do you know what? we could've ruined your efforts without you noticing?" said a B.U.M.N minister who threatened back and that person was also very familiar in Jani's eyes.
"do it, but I need to remind you one thing. Right now the public is very enthusiastic about my virtual machine and even though I sell at a fairly high price, they still sell like rice sitting on the side of the road."
"then what's the problem?" answer minister B.U.M.N.
"have you forgotten that this country is a democracy?, right now the flow of public opinion is on my side. If you go against this current forcibly, then maybe the tragedy of 1998 will happen again." Jani said casually, but his words still made everyone in this room shudder.
"you're just a small businessman who just started his business, how could you possibly shake this government?" replied a general who hated Jani who also agreed to his words by other ministers.
"if you don't believe it, then you can try it yourself. I'll make you feel the enormity of the current currents you're trying to underestimate." Jani smiles behind her mask and without her noticing, Jani gives off an aura that makes her look like she wants to destroy them all.
The guards standing in the corner of the room immediately took out their weapons as Jani's aura made them uncomfortable. General Karto stood up from his chair and said quite loudly
"relax! you all!"
His voice made Jani realize, then he retracted his aura and said "sorry everyone! I was a little let go!"
Of course, even though the guards were just feeling uncomfortable, but some ministers who during their lives only used their brains, were now sweating coldly and trembling slightly in fear.
While the clueless were still speechless, the president said "Mr. Gold pardon my previous men for making you a little offended."
"well, I was also wrong for bringing up a topic that was quite dangerous."
"honestly Mr. Gold, I was a little disappointed when I found out you made a transaction to a foreign country suddenly yesterday."
"sir president, in the future you don't have to be surprised like that. Because this is common in the business world and you also already know that this will happen. So, in the future I beg you not to interfere too much in my business and in return I guarantee that my company will always be in this country."
"alright, I believe you! In the future you won't have to worry about the person spying on you and also I want to convey that once again, if you need help, the state palace is always open for you."
As he was about to leave, Jani recalled something and said to the president "oh yes, sir! I forgot to say something, the virtual machine is my first product. If you live long, then in the future you will see that I will make this country a country with high technology and make the whole world jealous of its technological progress!"
"i'm looking forward to it!" the president replied with a smile on his face.
After that, Jani left this room excitedly inside her.
As Jani left the room, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and General Karto stood up to leave the room and said to the president "because the show is over, I think I'll return to my headquarters now. Mr. President, I'm quite happy that the president I elected has a far-reaching view of the future."
"thank you for the compliment." Briefly answer the president.
"i'll excuse you!" then after that General Karto left and was soon followed by several ministers.
Moments later, only the president and a middle-aged woman remain who are currently the country's finance ministers. The woman said "sir president, what makes you put great hope in Mr. Gold?"
"hmm, maybe because he had a big dream that even our own generation never thought of doing." The president answered the woman.
"if it were just a dream, then I'm sure that person would just be the laughingstock of the world. Because I've worked for a world organization and seen a lot of people whose dreams are shattered not knowing how rotten the world they live in is." The woman replied with a gloomy look that recalled her past and then she left.
After he was left alone, the president said in his heart 'you're wrong, if you see him as an innocent businessman with big dreams. Because before he must have felt the rotten world and maybe even he participated in destroying the dream that these innocent businessmen had.'
as he leaned back in his chair, an old man came in with two glasses of warm tea and the president who saw him said "I thought you were back in your office, Senopati old man!"
the person who brought the warm tea was none other than the former head of the Senopati family who was also the grandfather of Jani and currently he served as the minister of B.U.M.N.
"no, I just went out to go to the kitchen and bring a glass of warm tea for my best friend." Answer the old man.
The president also enjoyed the tea and said to his best friend "before I did not believe that your grandson came out of the Senopati family to follow his mother and wasted his chance to become the heir to the number one business family in Indonesia."
"aha!! You're wrong! That's not the real reason to leave my family!"
"then what? If it's not wrong when his mother chose to divorce your son, he's only 10 years old. So what more reason would a 10-year-old give if not to follow his mother?"
"at that time, he was smarter than most boys his age and could choose which one was better for himself. So at that time his father asked him without hesitation to choose who to follow, his mother or his father. At that time, he was quick to choose his mother and then gave his reason for choosing to follow his mother that was because he was not interested in continuing his former parents' business and found it very boring."
"huh!? There's no way a 10-year-old would say that! You don't brag too much old man!" answer from the president who does not believe in the story of his best friend.
"believe it or not, that's your business. What is clear is that I argued with him earlier because of my innate nature that does not like to be openly threatened like that even though it is from my own family."
"aha! It should be a family descendant!"
After that, they chatted about Jani for over an hour. While they were chatting about Jani, Jani was in the lobby of the palace and was waiting for her car to pick up her sister at the mall.
While Jani was waiting, General Karto came up to him and said "have your invitation come yet?"
"well, that's. They're picking up my sister."
"then what if I drive you to my car?"
"no need, you see out there a lot of information predators point their eyes at here? I don't want any strange rumors spreading about me tomorrow. Oh yea! General Karto are you after this busy?"
"no, why?"
"how about after this I visit your place? Aren't you curious about the technique I used back then?"
"oh!! Sure did! I've always wondered about it!" replied the general with great enthusiasm.
"in that case, I'll be going to your base for a visit this afternoon." Jani said then he entered his car which had just reached the palace courtyard.
"okay, I'm waiting for you!" reply who also went along with his aide.
Unbeknownst to the two of them, there was a person dressed in military clothes who heard the conversation and then made a call and left with a dangerous smile.
