The Winter Promise

Chapter 86: Baristas Are Not Just a Mention.

After going through the troublesome things in the OSIS room, I was finally able to break free from there and the proposal I submitted was already approved. I am currently in the office, precisely in the meeting room because we will hold a meeting to discuss pension issues later.

Now there are some people who will be attending the meeting. There is also Kak Malik and Kak Friska who attended the meeting.

“How about the proposal submission Mar?”

“OSIS has agreed to it.”

“Alright then what we now think is what we will market there, because this is the first time we market this application directly.”

“Of course the app, what else is it?”

Maul said that looked relaxed made the employees who were there a little surprised to see Maul who spoke like that to Mr. Hari.

Indeed Mr. Hari has explained to all the new employees here about me and Maul, too, but there are some of them who have never met us at all because we usually come to the office after school and only arrive at the office around four in the afternoon. At that time there were already some employees who had gone home because it was such an hour already home office hours for some people.

“I also know it Mul, I mean is how we make attractive offers so that people are interested in downloading our application.”

“True too, because this application has not so many paid features so we are difficult to think of a promotion for this.”

“How about we give a souvenir to the person who downloaded the app while in the booth?”

One of the employees who attended the meeting also gave an opinion.

It's nice if a lot of people are attending this meeting, I don't have to bother thinking about the idea for this. At most I will give input when asked.

“That's a pretty good idea, can you explain to us how the souvenir giving system is?”

Mr. Hari had the employee who suggested earlier explain about the idea.

“First we have to create a barcode first, later the barcode will serve as a link to download the application. If anyone downloads the application through the barcode, they will have the opportunity to get a gift in the form of souvenirs that we provide.”

“Good, I agree with the proposal. We'll use that proposal, can you make it Mul?”

“It was an easy thing.”

Maul showed her prowess in front of Friska who was currently sitting opposite her.

“I think it is better if we make something to give the gift, it seems if giving the gift directly is too ordinary.”

My advice to Mr. Hari. If I were told to explain, I would say that we made a roulette system in the prize draw.

“What if the prize will only be drawn using roulette? That will attract a lot of people as well.”

Other employees have the same thoughts as me for that.

“Yup, I also intend to propose it.”

“Ok, then now all we need to discuss is the type we will choose for the souvenir.”

“Whatever the choice is how many goods?”

Ask Maul to Mr. Hari.

“Souvenir used in this case there is usually tote bag, doll, mug, pin, sticker, poster, shirt, and the last one may be hat.”

I said all those things while counting them with my fingers.

“It turns out a lot also yes, approximately how many types should we make?”

Mr. Hari immediately asked me.

“To make this point there is a formula where the price of goods affects the amount of the goods. The cheaper the price, the more the amount is also the opposite.”

“Alright then, for the amount of goods and costs I will probably discuss first with the financial section. So the current meeting I close until here only, thanks for the hard work of everything.”

Mr. Hari also closed the meeting and one by one the employees began to come out of the meeting room and only left Me, Maul, Pak Hari, Kak Malik, and Kak Friska.

Maybe someone asked Mr. Febri nothing at this meeting. Because as he said while we were in the selection to accept new employees, he would quit if all of his employees had gone into the office. Because he wants to focus on teaching first.

“Friska, tomorrow you can talk about what we agreed to this to the finance department. You can now go home.”

“Then I excuse you!”

Friska left the meeting room, I saw Maul's eyes following Friska from her seat until she came out of the room.

“Have you done this a lot Mar?”

 Ask Malik to me.

“What does sister mean by meeting? If the meeting, I have done it often since working in this company.”

“Not! What I mean is to make a promotion to the schools. Because from the meeting you seemed to understand very much about this.”

“Oh if it's in my school I happen to be learning about this kind of thing, so I can know what needs to be done for a promotion like this.”

“What's your major?”

“Multimedia.”

“Malik! You will prepare a team to take care of this all, and the time limit is one day before H.”

“Any Pak!”

Malik left the meeting room immediately.

“Then what is our duty?”

“You two just sit quietly.”

“What is no problem?”

“That's what Mar's boss is like. You better be working on the day just.”

“Alright then.”

With this it is clear that on H day I will have to go to school to guard the booth there.

“Then I say yes, there is something I want to do.”

Mr. Hari also left the room.

“Do you want to go straight home Mar?”

“We go to the roof first yuk Mul, now also still jam hours. We better go home after magrib only.”

And we went to the roof to enjoy the afternoon view while enjoying a cup of coffee there. This time also in the mini bar there is already a barista who will serve us if we want to drink coffee there. I heard it from Mr. Hari that he hired his baristas so that his employees wouldn't have to brew their own coffee.

Though when I heard that it was a pity to spend money only for a barista, but after drinking his very good coffee I pulled all my words.

“So what do you want to say Mar?”

“When I was in the OSIS room, Kak Alvin and Kak Fauzi questioned me about an endless rumor.”

“What rumor is it?”

Maul immediately seemed curious about the rumor.

“If there are two students in SMK Sawah Besar who helped Mr. Febri in the process of making the Comic Universe.” application

“What caused the rumor to soar?”

Maul looks surprised when she hears the rumor, it seems she has not heard the rumor from anyone.

“So there was a student who saw Mr. Febri doing his job at school and Mr. Febri plainly explained what he was doing to the student who saw him.”

Maul calms down and drinks her coffee again.

It's strange, I think Maul will scold Mr. Febri like when I heard that Mr. Febri caused this rumor to spread.

“You look calmer than I thought.”

“For what I should be surprised, it's not really supposed to be like that. I don't mind if one school finds out that I helped in the process of making Comic Universe.”

This is Maul, indeed on one hand she is a little different to what I think.

“Aren't you afraid that the rumor will spread throughout the school? Not that their school life will become unsettled again.”

“You are right, we will be sought after by many people in schools ranging from students to teachers and we will never get peace again in school, but I think it does not matter, that's the risk of becoming a famous person.”

“Even if you say that, I will still find out who spread the rumor.”

“Why did you clean hard to look for it? Unlike you, usually you are much calmer winbut this than me.”

It's true, usually I'll think about this calmly and not even bother about it too much, but after knowing this rumor I became aware that the person who spread the rumor could not let me just leave it.

“Did you remember all the rumors circulating in the school about us?”

“Of course, I still remember everything.”

“If you remember it again, the average rumors that spread in the school are too similar to the original incident, this is very different from the rumors that circulated when they were still in Junior High School. Usually the rumors are only bird news that people convey from mouth to mouth, but the level of compatibility rumors in SMK Sawah Besar is almost the same as the original incident.”

“After you say it like that, I just realized it.”

Maul became interested again in this topic.

“Do you know something Mul?”

“If so far I still think that the members of OSIS who spread the rumor. Because OSIS is one of the places rumors can spread quickly.”

“At first I thought the same thing as you. But when I was there, Alvin didn't know about the rumors before Fauzi told him. Supposedly if indeed one of the members of OSIS who spread it, Kak Alvin already knew first before Kak Fauzi said it.”

“It's complicated once.”

Maul held her chin with her right hand and thought.

“How about you ask Rina about this Mar.”

“Why?”

“After I remembered again about the rumors circulating in SMK Sawah Besar. Surely we always listen to those rumors from Rina or Miyuki, and then Yoshida who justifies about those rumors.”

“You're right too.”

I never even heard that rumor when I was hanging out with my classmates. I don't know if it's my classmates who don't like to talk about rumors or those who don't get any information from them.

“It's possible that the person who spread the rumor was in Rina's class or someone in her class Rina joined the group or whatever connected her to all the students of one school, because

such places are very likely as a place for rumors to spread.”

“Then maybe I'll ask them this, but maybe it's later.”

“Why is that? Not that you were excited to find the person who was the source of the rumor.”

“For the time being there are things I want to do, so I can't focus myself on taking care of the person spreading the rumor. Maybe I will investigate that person if there are any more rumors spreading in school and those rumors endanger my peaceful life in school.”

Yep.. Because so far no one knows who the two students who helped it and also I have managed to convince the members of the OSIS who was gathered in the room at that time if I was not that person, so for now it seems like I'm safe.

“By the way how to retire later? Not many of my friends know that I work in the Comic Universe, maybe so do you. If we were there to keep the stall possible

there will be many disciples who are suspicious and reinforce the rumors if we are the ones.”

“I've been thinking about it, if that's the case I would probably have told Mr. Febri to say that he told us to look after the booth, in addition I will ask Riki, Miyuki, and Rina for help to keep at the booth.”

“As I expected from Amar, you always have the answer to my question.”

Of course I already have the answer, though, because ever since I found out that there were such rumors going around in school I had to think about the answers to people's questions if I had to be on duty to guard the booth.

“Then what do you think of my proposal to ask for help to Rina and Miyuki to help at the booth later.”

“It was a good idea, with two school idols guarding the booth, surely many visitors are interested in visiting our booth.”

“Then I will talk about this to Mr. Hari first for the problem of using people outside the office to help at the booth.”

“What clothes will we use during the pension event?”

Ask Maul to me.

“Maybe this office uniform.”

“Truely too, I have not used the uniform from this office since it was given by Mr. Hari. Maybe the uniform is still wrapped neatly in my closet.”

Said Maul while remembering about her uniform.

“Pak Hari alone does not require us to wear that uniform, after all we always come here using school uniforms.”

“But are you sure that Rina and Miyuki want to help us?”

“I'm sure they want.”

Because first, Rina and Miyuki are the ones who never refuse if anyone asks for help their alias is good. Besides, if I say that this job is paid, maybe they'll take it.

“I suggest you to ask for a budget to Pak Hari for this problem.”

“Whatever it can be?”

I asked Maul.

“It should be possible because this is for promotion as well, I think it is better that you submit the necessary budget first to Mr. Hari, the problem is accepted or not later. If it is not accepted, we can pay them with the money we have.”

“Alright, I will calculate approximately how much it will cost for the needs in the booth later. Maybe I will only need a fee to pay the person who set up the booth and the person who is guarding the booth later, the rest for consumption money.”

“You just write it down on paper to make it clearer than you think it is. When you're done, you give it to Mr. Hari.”

“Do I need to give a proposal also to Pak Hari?”

“Notably Mr Hari would like to read that complicated proposal?”

“I don't think.”

Because I saw Mr. Hari when I read a proposal, he complained and said that there was too much unnecessary writing in there. He also once said that he would rather have someone give him a piece of paper but inside it contains everything he needs rather than a lot of words like this.

“I will also ask Rian for help when setting up the booth later.”

“I also intend to take her as well.”

“Do you not intend to send Takeshi Mar?”

I looked into Maul's eyes and I knew that she was asking it just to make fun of me.

“I would be very surprised if he wanted to do it.”

“If Takeshi wants to help you set up a booth, I'll treat you to a brain-brain meal at a bus stop near school for a month.”

It was impossible, Maul dared to place such a bet because she knew that Takeshi would not help them.

And we continued to enjoy our coffee while looking at the cloudy afternoon sky.
