Wife Contract Rich Investor

Second chance

It's been 2 weeks since pitching with Gavels. During that time, Regina kept an eye on Gian's social media posts. There are only 2 recent posts, about the investment world update. There's nothing weird there. Regina, who initially intended to apologize through social media, denied her intentions. He thought that Gian was also wrong, he had already said disrespectfully and underestimated him.

Fadli and Maya come to his room early in the morning with cheerful faces.

“Bu Rere, have you read email?” Ask Fadli without further ado.

“Not yet. I'm still checking the financial statements last month. Why?”

“Liat deh, I've forward-in something.”

“What is the mesam-mesem?” Regina asked with a laugh looking at Fadli and Maya. Then Regina opened the e-mail page and found a pitching invitation notice that was forwarded by Fadli.

“This is serious? Our proposal through for pitching again? PZ Ventures?” Regina said in shock. After his failure at Gavels, he did not expect to be given another chance at PageZero Ventures. Apparently, there are still people who want to look at his company.

‘It turns out that guy nyebelin is not nyebarin gossip weird to fellow investors ya’ Inner Regina.

“So I can also call to request confirmation of the presence of a company representative in the predetermined schedule.” Maya says.

“Iya, just confirm, May. I must have been there by kok.” Regina also smiles indistinctly like Maya and Fadli.

That day Regina prepared her presentation. He also convinced himself not to act emotionally during the pitching. His company is a mess and he is an amateur leader who knows nothing about business. Despite doubts that PZ Ventures will provide the investment, Regina must convince them to include it in the company's incubation program.

Regina became a hundred times more excited today, having swallowed the disappointment of the incident with Gian. He was also wary every day, very afraid that the incident would make the name of his company tainted in the eyes of investors.

Gian left for his office early in the morning, afraid that the road was stuck in traffic. Today, he has to attend a board meeting. There was something weighing him down to attend this meeting. Gian's position at Gavels is still floating. There has been no decision on who will succeed his grandfather as CEO. Those people definitely need concrete evidence that Gian is his successor. Pak Narta remained strong in carrying out her duties following grandfather's will. He will not hand over or swoop in to the board members before Gian gets married.

Actually, the members of the board of directors did not know the preconditions that prevented Gian from becoming CEO. Mr. Narta only informed him that the decision to announce the successor to Gavels was still a matter of family discussion. For almost 4 months they do not often speak and question. But if too long and buy time, their confidence in Gian will decline. They will assume that Gian is not the one Gumelar appointed to replace him.

This meeting was attended by 14 members of the board, coming from a family of conglomerates and business associates of his grandfather. Om Bayu who is his representative was also present. In the quarter of the company this time Gian felt very shriveled and helpless.

The meeting went well for 3 hours. Many things are discussed about the company, especially growth and their strategy in the future. The development of Gavels during Gian's leadership was good and exceeded expectations. Gian thought that was enough, but it wasn't.

“I want to discuss this because until now no one has talked about it.” Sela Mr. Sunaryo as he reaches the end of their meeting. “I have not received any notice regarding the heirs and appointment of the company leader from the legal representative Mr. Gumelar.” Further. Mr. Sunaryo is one of the most ambitious 57-year-old shareholders.

That’s it!

Gian exclaimed in his heart, he was waiting and imagined there would be people who would talk about his position as successor at this meeting. Despite knowing this would be asked, Gian was not ready to answer it.

“I am also still waiting for how the decision.” Add another one.

“We not only appreciate the performance, but we also see who will lead this company later.”

“Then I suggest you to give the solution. Grandfather's legal authority has informed him 6 months after the reading of the will, the decision as to who will continue Gavels will be given. If you want answers and reassurance from me. Then I won't give you anything.” Gian said firmly. Everyone in the room was silent.

“If who is leading for you is very important more than the performance and growth of the company we are getting now, I so ask if you already have another candidate to lead Gavels besides me?” Gian continued to stare closely one by one the members of the board of directors. Giant realized he had no shortage whatsoever to lead this company. He knows that he is intelligent, competent, and ambitious. The company's growth report will speak for itself about that fact.

The room was silent, some people bowed their heads. Unable to interrupt. Some of them do have other names besides Gian which they consider as the candidate for the leader of Gavels, namely Bayu. They still consider Gian still green, still young to lead the big company. Gian's strong performance and character impress them, but the business also needs experienced people to manage it. Gian still lacks flight hours compared to Bayu. Therefore the voice about who is suitable to be in the position of branched leader, there are those who choose Gian and some who want Bayu.

The meeting ended grimly. After the members of the board left the room, Gian and Bayu had not yet moved from their seats.

“If you think saying rich things earlier makes them side with you, you are wrong. Precisely they will think you are still young and too sensitive.” Sayu Bayu opened the conversation.

“I didn't respond to them with sensitivity, just making it clear where their voice is.” Reply Gian.

“Gi, Om is not your enemy. Even if Om wants your current position, everything will be done honestly and with dignity. After all they are a collection of parents who still think conventionally. They consider young people without experience to be just shy and smart-ass boys. You should be able to trust them, not attack them.”

“You’ve lost your calm, pull your *#* together!” Pungkas Bayu then left Gian alone in the room.

F#ck!!

Gian cursed himself. Everything Bayu said made sense and Gian confirmed that he had lost his composure in the face of this problem. It felt like there was nothing he could control, he was also completely dead-end. Gian had to marry someone in order to get his rights as an heir and lead Gavels, absolutely the craziest idea his grandfather ever had.

Soon Gian wants to give up and let all his rights disappear. But his heart was not willing, he wanted to fight for it. He must find a wife at all costs. If necessary, he will perform a contract marriage in order to obtain inheritance from his grandfather.

Regina finished presenting her company in front of PZ Ventures representatives. Alex Mahendra Putra, is one of the children of the Mahendra family of PZ Ventures owners, who today became a representative for pitching with Regina. The impression Alex gave Regina was quite positive. Unlike Gian who shows disinterest in the presentation of Regina and her company, Alex actually listened and gave his response. Regina felt more comfortable talking.

Regina was not yet 100% sure she would get good news for the cooperation, but this time she was being nice. Of course, there must be other considerations so that the Regina company at least entered the list of incubation programs. Alex welcomed the idea and said he would discuss it.

“I will discuss about how to continue our cooperation with other parties in the company. Surely I can't decide this myself.” Alex said kindly.

“Thanks for considering and giving the opportunity.” Reply Regina cheerfully.

“If you'd like, can I request personal contact from Ms. Regina? Maybe I will need it later if there are things I want to ask to be our consideration.”

“Oh yes. Please.” Regina gave her phone number, and exchanged contacts. They chatted lightly and made small talk after the pitching was over. Today was so much fun for Regina, it felt like she had hope again. Alex's good attitude made her feel optimistic.
