The Unexpected Love Journey

CH 53S

A nice night, as agreed with the deal. The six of them came 2 hours early to avoid congestion and gathered in one of the restaurants that are quite crowded and located not far from the concert hall, about 200 meters so it can be reached on foot. Andre, Yunita and Cecilia— - who happened to depart together from the Andre— house - chose clothes that were not too flashy; most only Yunita's expensive bags were the most striking, the most striking, that's also if the person's bag kw or not.

Yunita also chose to wear glasses without lenses to disguise her appearance. Her hair is usually blonde, especially for today is made straight and freely strung on the left side to minimize the possibility of people will recognize it later.

Stefani and Brandon are the same. Brandon only wears t-shirts, vests made of wool and jacket-shaped, and beige jeans. While Stefani himself only wears a navy blue shirt with a light brown sweater outside and dark blue jeans.

The most eccentric of them all—and make them shy—may be Dimas; who wears a shirt, jacket, and pink cloth pants; sunglasses and some knick-knacks on his hands and neck.

“Nih a moronic child, is he sane, or does not have a brain? Not that clearly in the group already in say ‘wear clothes that are relaxed and inconspicuous’ Yes?” Andre and Brandon whispered as they looked away and did not want to look at their friend. As with Yunita, Cecilia and Stefani prefer to ignore Dimas.

“Moodnya may be good, just this. She will sit at the same end as Stefani, agree?” Brandon gave input, and was immediately approved by Andre without thinking at all.

“It looks like your fans took a photo with you, ladenin first it was, kasian they were waiting from earlier,” Andre nudged Yunita's arm; who looks like he was busy chatting with Stefani, he said, and reminded of the existence of people who had been since then continue to glance at them.

The risk of becoming a popular artist, even though it has been dressed so differently to the usual appearance, still there are still some fans who are quite observant and can recognize the disguise of Yunita.

“Dah, just let's know, later if we want to walk and they ask for photos, I will definitely serve kok,” Yunita approached Andre and answered him, I will definitely, not to be heard by those around them.

Yunita actually could not bear to let these people stand tired like that just for the sake of signatures or photos together. However, he had already experienced several times like this. When he approached and fulfilled their request, more and more people in droves also wanted to do the same.

He certainly does not want if finally the good intentions of the night trigger a crowd that can disturb others. It is also in line with what Brother Alika once said: “Low heart is good, but still must be able to know when to ignore something for the common good.”

Those words were what turned him from a man who could not bear it; always serving every fan who was waiting for him, to be a little indifferent. In a sense, know when to serve his fans, and when he should be firm by ignoring them.

About an hour before the concert began, the six of them left the restaurant where they waited and walked to the concert hall. Evidently, the idea of Andre and Brandon to come early is quite appropriate, because once they get out onto the highway, they are immediately greeted with the hustle and bustle of Jakarta city congestion at night.

Plus, it is increasingly aggravated by the concert that will be held, so that the crowd of people and aerospace who want to enter the parking lot of the building, adding to the congestion that already exists.

Inside the concert hall, after buying some snacks and drinks at the stand that was provided by the committee, the six of them entered through a special line; thanks to Yunita's status, the six of them entered the hall, after showing their tickets to one of the committee who was on standby at the entrance.

The character, Dimas was briefly detained due to his alay clothes and made the committee think that Dimas was an alay fan who tried to sneak in.

“Had, what is this? Ideas are useless, just copy old ideas that already exist and slightly change the design doang. This company is almost bankrupt,”

Andre grumbled as he read one of the product idea proposals submitted by the Director and the R&D team. Because, all day long what he read no one has a wow factor at all. Impressive to play it safe.

For example, all of these proposals have something in common, namely using a lower-middle-class SoC. In fact, according to him, they should use an upper-middle SoC in order to compete. Especially in the era of IoT like this; where the need for the ability of a smartphone also increases in order to be able to handle all the will of its users.

“Can't be like this.” Andre murmuring.

He then threw the map he was holding onto another pile of maps on his front desk and then stood up.

“Where are you?” Brandon asked.

“Circularly,” Andre replied without looking back or stopping his steps.

He felt that the people in this company had no motivation or will to fight again and were just waiting for bankruptcy time. In fact, after being acquired and surviving bankruptcy, they should be able to be more motivated again and try their best.

Arrive on the 3—th floor where DeptR&D is on the 3rd to 7—th floor everyone stands to welcome him. But immediately, with a smile, he asked not to over-welcome her. The first part he visited on the floor was the part responsible for developing the UI.

“Excuse me,” he greeted one of the female employees who were nearby,

“I.. Yes sir. What's wrong sir?”

“The other one where is it? It's not a break,”

Andre asked without any further ado; yet still smiling kindly. He was astonished when he saw almost half of the UI Designer Team office that looked empty.

This is the first time he has gone around. He accepted the offer of the female employee.

When entering the meeting room. He's a little relieved. Because, even though the Board of Directors looks lazy and indifferent to the development of the company, its employees are not like those Directors.

“No need to stand up, just go ahead,” he said as people in the room were about to stand up to greet him. While the female employee who had taken her, it turned out to have left before she could say thank you.

Although he has actually been provided a seat, he prefers to stay standing and continue to watch how this team discusses some bugs in the UI, he said, and their desire to change the existing UI; which he himself also agreed with changing the existing UI to be more modern.

However, in addition, there are some complaints from the UI developer team about how to implement the new UI. For example, the device's rather weak ability to run the new UI is fairly smooth and stable; their UI is too overkill in terms of appearance and features for the current screen.

“Ok, I will consider it. And a few more inputs, I want the next UI to be more user friendly than it should be feature-rich but hard to use. Also, if we can OS we must be able to be integrated with several IoT devices later,” his proposal.

From the reaction of the people in the room; who seemed to nod lightly and also seemed to take note of it. He could have concluded a little if they also agreed with these two things. It also makes him a little relieved because this company still has employees who have passion and not just eat blind salary.

Move to the Product Development section on the same floor; place all ideas about what kind of device will be made and tested first. The first part to Andre is the Smartphone section. The situation here is a little quieter compared to the previous place, although actually the people are more than the place before.

And again, his presence seemed to shock everyone. And at this second, it made him think whether the previous CEO had never gone down to check his employees directly? In fact, during college he was often reminded that Boss & Employee Relationship is very, very important for company cohesiveness when facing a problem.

This time, he just kept walking and driving around until he accidentally saw a room with a sign ‘Product Sample’. Given the UI team's complaints about less capable devices, he without hesitation entered the room. In the room there are several smartphones and tablets labeled with a kind of serial number.

“Call one or 2 people here,” the door to Brandon.

While waiting, when he saw the smartphone lineup that was in the process of development, he became increasingly convinced that the reason why this company never developed was due to lack of innovation. The design that was before him now seemed the same regardless of whether the contents inside were different or not.

When the person Brandon called in; and also one of the heads of research, without much ado he had the person explain the product that was in front of him now. And results? All SoC is not much different, only different numbers behind but still still one class, namely SoC for the lower middle.

“You've been working here for how long?” he spoke in a flat voice; stepped forward approaching the table and picked up one of the smartphones.

“I am 8 years old sir,” replied the employee in a nervous voice.

“8 Years but the results like this continue? Though you only issue 1 or 2 Smartphones in a year. Doesn't that mean you have enough time to think about more innovative designs and capabilities?” he approached the employee and spoke while holding himself back the emotion of not seeing the slightest progress from some of the product history he had read before.

“Maa.”

“Save your bullshit. I give you a month, make me a better design than this for next year's product. Otherwise, you better just back off,” he said firmly and showed a little anger in his voice and then put the smartphone he held earlier on the table again before leaving the room.

In the elevator; after finishing driving around. His previous intention for refreshing, instead made his head even more dizzy after realizing there was too much he had to fix first before stepping forward.

“How am I scheduled for next week?” he asked Brandon when they got back to his room. To clear his head, he chose to rest for a while on his lounge chair while closing his eyes.

“For the next week, there are some less urgent meeting meetings, and dinner invitations with some directors. Why?”

“Cancel everything that can be canceled,”

“Hah?”

“Lu didn't hear? Cave says cancel,”

“Yes cave intent why cancelled?”

He then opened his eyes, looked at Brandon and told him to come closer. Brandon looks hesitant but still approaches in the end.

“Gua will overhaul all the directors' arrangements and some other things,”
