The Unexpected Love Journey

Ch. 54

“What!? You crazy huh?” Brandon looked stunned upon hearing Andre's plan.

“Why? Just relax. We all have to deal with it secretly. Do not let the slackers hear what the cave is planning,” said Andre casually to remove the surprised expression of Brandon's face.

He was quite understanding of Brandon's reaction just now. Anyone would definitely react that way when they heard the plan he said just now. However, he said it was also not without careful consideration. Because according to him, the stupid attitude of the Directors is now the cause of the destruction of this company. And, if it continues to be biarka, it is not impossible that this company will face a crisis again in the near future. Maybe this time it will end in bankruptcy.

“Lu sure will do that?” Brandon again asked, on his face still implied a little doubt even though the expression of his face already looked a little relaxed.

“Yapc. So, the next month, we remain as usual. Meetings and all sorts of things remain as usual, but secretly, we also selection the work performance of the Directors is good or not. If ugly, yes we replace with a more capable,”

“But right..”

“No but-but, you see for yourself, the idea that the Directors handed over was like how? All trash, just recycle old products and change the name of the doang. How about going forward then, right?”

Brandon initially seemed to want to say something again but then did not so, for whatever reason. As for Andre himself, although he spoke confidently, but in his heart he was a little afraid.

He was well aware of his current position which was somewhat unfavorable. Although his current position is quite strong because he owns 41% of the company and makes it the largest shareholder, he still cannot underestimate the situation he will face when doing a massive overhaul.

Especially, considering Mr. Guntur and Naden who both have 10% shares. It may not seem threatening, but still he must be vigilant with both people if he wants to make changes in the future. Looking at the clock on his phone already showing at 7 p.m., he then stood up, walked to the large mirror that was in the corner of the room behind his desk and tidied up his appearance.

“So, there is no more schedule right for today?” he asked Brandon; who was looking at the tablet he was holding.

“For now, but tomorrow morning you have a meeting with the marketing department about the release of new products next month. After that, the sore has a meeting with the Finance Section, according to your request yesterday. And, gua saranin you read the documents that the cave sent in your email,” replied Brandon by speaking rather quickly but still there is a comma point.

“OK, then, today you go home alone,” he said as he patted Brandon on the shoulder with a small smile, before leaving his friend.

“Hah? Where are you going?”

“Searching for information,” he replied without turning around in the slightest and exited the room.

On the way home, Andre did not go straight home. He asked Mr. Budi to drive him to an address he had written down on paper; one he got from a friend during his college days at Harvard. Uniquely, not as usual, Mr. Budi looked furrowed his eyebrows and was silent for a moment when reading the address. In fact, Mr. Budi with decades of experience driving in the city of Jakarta is very rarely silent like that.

“Why pack?” he finally dared to ask. In his mind there are only two possibilities; either the address is wrong, or indeed less familiar in the mind of Mr. Budi.

“Ah, ngak, it's just that this is not in the direction of your way home,” Pak Budi replied with an unusual smile, like hiding something.

However, he considered it possible because Mr. Budi thought too hard to remember the address. His doubts faded when he saw Mr. Budi who paused for a moment on the roadside to check the map on the large screen that was on the front.

The complexity of the address does not stop there, when it arrives at the street listed on the address on the paper. He had to go down, and look for the name of the place mentioned by his friend. Because it turns out, he still has to enter the road that can not be passed by the car; because it is a shopping area that is crowded with visitors so that it can only be passed on foot.

‘votre bonheur’ while memorizing the writing sent by his friend, he walked while looking right and left. Sometimes he stopped and looked back for a moment to make sure he did not pass the place he was looking for.

“tu n'es pas le bienvenu ici,” the less pleasant words that a man uttered became the opening sentence right after the bell rang as he passed through the entrance.

“Vraiment? Est-ce ainsi que vous traitez un vieil ami?” he replied casually.

“As usual, your francis is still bad Ndre. Learn again napa,” greet the man was back, this time in a language that he understands more.

“Lah, the cave is just learning the language for 2 months, besides the cave is also dizzy with many tasks. So, no time to add the burden of thought again,” he replied while taking a seat at the bar table in front of him.

His friend Joseph, a descendant of Indo France, likes to decorate it using the language of francis. It started when they met for the first time when he was an intern at one of the technology giants in the US. Joseph, at that time introduced himself to the language of francis to make him commute because he did not understand the language of francis in the slightest.

Joseph, actually quite unique, graduated from MIT—, one of the world's leading universities,—, went back to Indonesia and opened a simple cafe. But, make no mistake, it's just a cover, because this one friend told him about the hidden underground lab. The place can be said as a nest in doing his work as a freelance in the field of web developers.

“Basic, you can never tell the cave that your girlfriend is a cave idol, indeed a friend***** you, your,” Joseph suddenly turned around from the coffee machine and grumbled indistinctly as he walked towards it.

A tall stature; a fairly sturdy body; a handsome face and able to attract any woman, he said, people may be more confident if the person in front of him is a bodybuilder or model than an IT master.

Yes, indeed, he knew that Joseph really liked Yunita. He often heard Joseph venting to take a photo with Yunita. However, due to that time he and Yunita were maintaining their relationship to remain a secret. He never told Joseph, but he could have granted Joseph's wish.

“Ya already, later deh cave invite you to meet him. How?” he tried to seduce Joseph like a child sulking.

“Aging doang,”

“Nak just you,”

“Ya already, then your offer cave reject,”

“Ya can not be bambang, he is a top artist, if you eat together you can get gossip ater, think,”

Actually, he could have rented a restaurant so that no journalist could cover. However, still, there was a slight worry that Joseph had met Yunita alone. I don't know what Joseph will do.

“OK, watch out for you if you break your promise. Now, about what we talked about on the phone. You know the cost of the cave is not that cheap,”

He smiled when he heard Joseph's words, instead of directly mentioning the price, this one friend even wanted to negotiate with him.

“Prevenue how much a month from freelancer? Cave adds 50% of your total density and if everything is smooth, you become the head of R&D. How?”

Joseph was silent for a moment, scratching his chin, before finally agreeing to the offer.

There was no further conversation afterwards, only a little suave and after that he left the cafe owned by Joseph because he remembered Mr. Budi waiting for him in the car. And anyway, it's almost 9 p.m. He also did not want to be late at night just for the sake of recruiting Joseph into his company. However, he was also quite happy because he managed to recruit Joseph to check the background of all the Directors he wanted to get rid of later.
