The Winter Promise
Chapter 68: Why This Job Has So Many Meetings!



“Let's start the meeting.”


We are already in Mr. Hari's office to discuss plans for the release of the Comic Universe app. As usual, we were meeting in a room and sitting on a mat with coffee and beans as consumption this time.


Now the second floor to the sixth floor has been used by the company that was discussed by Mr. Hari yesterday.


“Where is the process of making the application?”


Ask Mr. Hari keapda Maul.


“Map can see it for yourself.”


Maul gave Mr. Hari his phone because the app he created had already been moved to his phone.


Mr. Hari also saw the application on his phone Maul.


“This is so good, it's beyond my expectations. Great that you can finish it in no time.”


I just smiled a little hearing that. Mr. Hari does not know what we have been through lately to be able to complete the application in time. Moreover, we have to keep up with our school, so it is a very something thing once.


“Then how is the web?”


“Webnya already so, I can see it now.”


I showed the website with my laptop.


“Where did you learn web design Mar? Supposedly the material was only taught when you were in second grade.”


Ask Mr. Febri to me who is looking at the web as well.


“Maul taught me the basics of programming, the rest I learned from internet.”


Huhhhhh... Though I don't really like something related about the program because I think it's very confusing. I was just happy when I played logic in it, but to write the program, I hated it so much.


“I've contacted the comics I know and until now there are only thirty comics who want to join the launch of this first application. Other comics prefer to see in advance how the prospects of this application in Indonesia, whether good or not.”


“I guess for starters, thirty comics is enough.”


Maul said to Hari.


“Then how do comics create or insert their comics into this app?”


Mr. Hari is still browsing the web I created.


“I've formatted it on the web, so if there is a comic who wants to make a comic or he wants to upload his comic, they can just go to the web. The web is also already hosting, so the web is ready anytime if you want to use.”


Maul explained that to Hari.


“I have made terms and conditions for the comic when you want to upload the comic in our application. Most contain about the rules so that they do not upload comics that are against the law.”


Mr. Hari gave a paper containing the rules to Maul.


“Good, I'll put it in when I get home later.”


“Then this means everything is ready. Can the application be published according to the schedule we specify during the last meeting?”


Mr. Hari asked Maul again.


“Can, I can guarantee it.”


Maul said that with great confidence.


“Then who will check the work of the comics later? Of course we have to check their work first before it is displayed in the application to be in accordance with the terms and conditions that you have created.”


Ask Mr. Febri to Mr. Hari.


“It will be done by You and also Amar.”.


Shit! I thought tonight I would sleep well. I think it's just a mirage.


“...I also hope that you when checking the comics can provide input to the comics so that the story can be more interesting. Let's just say you two will work as editors.”


The printing editor?


“What's the matter of giving the job to me? I haven't read comics at all lately, so I don't know what comics are interesting to readers.”


Actually I had time to read Yamaha comics and Seven Montir because it was given by Kichida, but I do not know whether the comic is interesting or not. I just thought it was a weird comic, but it's a huge hit in Japan.


“I'm also the same.”


So did Mr. Febri.


“It is your task at this time to hone your skills in that field while waiting for the comic to finish their work.”


New assignment! My pay should have been very expensive considering the many tasks I would have done.


“It looks like when I go home later I will stop by the bookstore to buy some comics there.”


Said Mr. Febri.


I think it's better to ask Kichida first before buying comics in a bookstore. Although the Yamaha comics and Seven Montir look strange in my eyes, but I think that's what the readers are interested in. Looks like I'm going to have Kichida teach me a little bit about comics, he must have been an expert on this.


“Then for now our meeting is closed until here. Later our next meeting will be held on the day of application release. Until that day you can use the time to rest, because after the application is released, I think you will not be able to feel the name rest.”


The closing speech Mr. Hari spoke to close the meeting this time seemed to get me a little excited. Mr. Hari has never been pessimistic about the application we are creating, it makes me also be sure because everyone who works here is very confident that this application will be famous. I think it is the mentality of a leader like this that is needed by a company to be able to rise again.


We went straight to the roof to rest after a very tiring meeting. Until now I have felt the name of the meeting twice, and I think the first meeting is very long and quite confusing my mind. I don't know how many more meetings I have to attend.


When we got to the roof, there were already a lot of tables and benches that decorated. Unlike before, this time the roof looks more crowded and lively. At the mini bar table there is also a coffee machine, microwave, and some tools to make coffee, tea, and drinks


othersmore.


I also saw some people relaxing there enjoying a cup of coffee on this sunny afternoon.


This is called the office!


“You two if you want to brew coffee please.”


Mr. Hari told me and Maul to brew coffee. But none of us can use the tools that are there, because usually we only make bottled coffee mixed with water only.


“Mini this bar who has it? Is it okay to use it?”


We walked to the mini bar and sat there, coincidentally the bench in front of the mini bar there were four pieces that fit us all.


“No problem, it's belong together... I bought the coffee machine and the others, while the chairs and tables belong to the company that rented this building. If for the necessary ingredients such as coffee, tea, water, and so forth, we joint venture.”


“What company is below?”


I asked Mr. Hari.


“You must have heard of it, the name of the company is UltraNet.”


“I've never heard of that company.”


Maul when she heard that name.


“Hahaha... The company is a company that provides internet services, and it happens that the owner of the company pioneered this company just like me when pioneering the Universe Comics. We met at one of the seminars at that time and by itself we were friends.”


Hee... It turned out that the owner of the company that was below was still a friend of Mr. Hari. It was only fitting that Mr. Hari could easily negotiate with him.


“Then let me make you some coffee. I happen to be quite good at something like this.”


Mr. Hari also started making coffee for all of us with the tools that were there. I was also quite interested when he was concocting coffee there, ranging from crushing the coffee beans, measuring the dose of coffee with a small scale that was there, and lastly until he brewed it.


Her scent...


I started to smell the coffee coming out of the device.


“When again a superior makes coffee for his subordinates.”


Said Mr. Febri while looking at that.


“Hahaha... I do not consider you as my subordinates because here we jointly develop this company from scratch. You guys I've considered my coworkers.”


Is with this his dream Maul will soon be achieved?


I also saw Maul who was smiling thinking of something. I'm sure that he's thinking right now that he's the boss of this company.


“Oh yes Sir, what ads will be installed on the internet already created?”


Maul asked Mr. Febri.


“Already, I will send it to your email.”


“Ok.”


“Then so.”


Mr. Hari also presented us with the coffee he had made.


“Woah!”


“Please drink, I make this coffee according to your favorite. For Amar and Maul I slightly mix the coffee with milk, so it will not taste bitter.”


I also started drinking coffee made by Mr. Hari and it turned out to taste quite good, it was like in cafes. Why didn't Mr Hari just open a coffee cafe?


“Before Rina's birthday yes.”


Say Maul while enjoying coffee.


“It's great that you know such a thing.”


“I know it from Rian.”


“Rian?! Where does she know Rina's birthday?”


I think Rian really likes Rina. This shows that he really loves her. Hmmmm... Do I need to help her a little so that she can get close to Rina.


“Now, that time Rian just said whether I gave a gift to Rina or not. When I asked him where he knew it from, he didn't answer me at all. I think she's secretly looking for her herself. You must be careful Mar, Rian could have taken Rina from your hand.”


“If it does happen I don't think it's a problem.”


“Heee... Do you have no liking at all for Rina what?”


“Like feeling is omnipresent, but that liking is not the liking that makes me want to date her. I just love it when I see him smile, I don't like it when I see him moody. That's why I'm trying to keep her smile.”


“Then just date her, it will always keep her smile no matter what.”


“Look at it later, for now I'm still not interested in it.”


Because there's still a lot I want to do, and from the beginning my principles are still the same. I don't really like pseudo-relationships like dating, I think it's just costing me money and time.


“You are!”


“Do you seriously say it Mar? If you keep like that, you can be like Hari loh.”


“What the fuck is that?”


Mr. Febri apparently heard our conversation from earlier and Mr. Hari objected to being said like that by Mr. Febri.


“Why you also follow.”


“I don't think it's wrong to give him a gift, besides I also know who the woman named Rina is.”


“Really!?”


Maul looks very excited.


“Rina is quite famous among teachers as a good and diligent child, her grades are also good, many boys and upperclassmen want to make her a boyfriend. I don't think it's wrong if you make her Mar.”'s girlfriend


“Didn't you hear the words of Amar? Having her date is the same as telling a cat to make a rocket, it is very impossible.”


Maul let out a long sigh and went back to enjoying her coffee.


“Mumpung is young, you better enjoy your youth.”


“I want to enjoy my youth in a different way.”


“If you already believe it doesn't matter, but don't be like Mr. Hari.”


“What's the reason?”


I was curious about Mr. Febri's words.


“When he was in school, Mr. Hari's head only contained about money, and until now I think he did not have anyone he liked other than money. She's single for life.”


“That's not polite at all Bri.”


Mr. Hari denies it.


“But right?”


“I used to have a girlfriend too.”


“That's true!?”


I don't think you should be that surprised, Mr. Febri. Would Riki and Maul's expression be the same as Mr Febri's if I told them I liked someone and wanted to date him? That's just possible.


“Really, but my boyfriend broke me after knowing my company went bankrupt.”


I'm sorry to hear that.


“I'm not good at hearing it.”


“I also.”


Said Maul and Mr. Febri to Mr. Hari.


“But I will not give up. When my company is back at work, I'll meet my boyfriend and take him back.”


“I think it's better you stop that.”


I agree with Mr. Febri. I think Mr. Hari's girlfriend just wants Mr. Hari's money.


“What's the reason?”


“Women who only come to you when you are successful are not good women for you to date, you better just leave it.”


Mr. Febri gave advice to Mr. Hari.


“I agree with Mr. Febri.”


Maul.


“You how else, she's already my first love.”


Mr. Hari immediately looked glum.


“At least the woman is that pretty?”


“You guys just see for yourself.”


Mr. Hari also showed us a photo of his girlfriend on his phone. And we all saw that picture. It looks like the photo was taken when Mr. Hari and his girlfriend were going to the beach because I could see the sea behind them.


I don't think this girl is too pretty. Well. for beautiful or not a woman is relative, everyone has his own judgment.


“There is no hope anymore.”


“True.”


Mr. Febri and Maul look very compact. What happened to those two? When it comes to this, they are very compact.


And we also spend our time talking about the plan ahead.


***


“Finally get a good night's sleep.”


Yes, just for tonight.


“I also.”


“I want to rest first before checking the work of the comic later.”


“I also want to learn something on the internet so that the ads can be optimal and many people see the ad.”


We continued walking towards the bus stop nearby. I also saw Maul who always played with her phone.


“Do you still use that hacking app?”


“I just hacked the entire network in his office Mr. Hari.”


“As usual your work is fast, but do not interfere with the privacy of other companies Mul. You know for yourself that in the building there is a company owned by someone else.”


I also warned Maul.


“Keep, I only use this if something happens that endangers the office or important data in the office.”


“Thank God then.”


I checked my phone and it turned out that there I found an incoming message from Miyuki telling me to come to a cafe inside the mall.


I already knew that he wanted to invite me to buy a birthday present for Rina.


Hmmmm... Should I accept it or not. I think it's better if I just take it, I want to find him a present. I haven't returned any of Rina's kindness anyway.


After parting ways with Maul at the Cibubur stop, I went straight to the nearby mall and went to Miyuki who was in the cafe. At that time I only realized one thing, if we just went alone at that time.
