Chapter 51 Starting Over
1884words
He felt very annoyed, but he continued to be enthusiastic because Lily gave him full support.
Alpha Grey asked his employees to create a company website so that it could be described as a big company in general. He wanted the outside world to know about the technology company he owned.
The company, led by Alpha Grey, is engaged in technology.
Alpha Grey rested in his office after working all day. He still thought all this needed to be better. From then on, he had to fix everything and ensure all his employees had proper rights.
Alpha Grey immediately came out of his office and saw several employees still there.
'Why don't you go home?," Alpha Grey asked several of his employees.
'Sir, we are still making the company's official web page well. I can't just leave the company's front page like that," he said.
'You should go home immediately, don't think about your job! I have to pay you more because of this. You should go home and be with your family. The money here won't be able to pay for your memories with your family," said Alpha Grey.
'Okay, sir!" He replied immediately, packing his things and leaving.
Other employees followed his steps because Alpha Grey advised them to go home immediately and gather with their families. Alpha Grey also went home immediately, but he did not go home. Instead, he met Professor Aria Star.
On the way, by driving, he contacted Lily. Communication was immediately connected.
'Lily, where are you? I'm not going home. I'm going to stay at Professor Aria Star's house!" said Alpha Grey.
'I'm there too. I can't go home to my mother's house. Mother doesn't seem to care about us. She also went on vacation alone. I think she also feels strange or uncomfortable at home. Our family is not the same as before," Lily answered.
'I'll be there soon!," Alpha Grey answered, ending the call.
Alpha Grey drove the car and headed to Professor Aria Star's house.
Not long after, he arrived at Professor Aria Star's house. His arrival was greeted by Lily.
'Alpha Grey!" Lily said, calling him.
He and Lily immediately went into the house. They talked in the living room. Professor Aria Star came to bring Alpha Grey a drink and placed it on the table.
'Have you gotten an investor?," asked Professor Aria Star.
'Not yet. I plan to create a company website first," he answered while drinking and putting the glass back on the table.
'Creating technology? Can you design a product for me? I also teach healers to make medicinal plants in Undermoon so they must have a good product design. I entrust it to you. A beautiful and elegant small bottle," said Professor Aria Star.
'But I don't make it like that!," said Alpha Grey.
'Creating an application for designers. Collecting people's work and finding buyers," said Professor Aria Star.
'I see. Okay. I'll try. Our company will do the printing," replied Alpha Grey, agreeing to Professor Aria Star's plan.
Professor Aria Star took out her cell phone, 'I have the funds to become an investor. Is 1M enough?"
'Eh! You want to become an investor in my company?" said Alpha Grey in surprise.
'Yes. That amount of money is useless to me. Is that okay?" asked Professor Aria Star.
'Of course. I have prepared a contract like this. Please read it carefully, Professor Aria Star," said Alpha Grey while giving her a document regarding the investor and owner contract.
Professor Aria Star took the paper on the table and read it carefully. Then, she began to settle this with Alpha Grey and transferred the money to the company's financial account as investment money.
Lily also wanted to do the same. She invested in Alpha Grey's company. She invested five hundred million. She was happy to be able to help Alpha Grey. After completing all that, they began to do their respective activities.
Lily's whereabouts, room.
She compiles a lot of evidence of crimes committed by Asher Winter. But her feelings don't stop there. She also begins to suspect her father. Lily starts to make plans for her.
Alpha Grey's whereabouts, room.
Getting investors but still feeling useless. Alpha Grey is indeed an inexperienced businessman. He thought carefully about what he should do for his company.
Professor Aria Star's whereabouts, room. She sent a message to someone.
'Goodbye, see you. You won't be deterred if asked for help, right?" wrote Professor Aria Star's message.
Not long after, she received a reply message from someone.
'Yes, no problem. I'll help if I'm not busy."
Professor Aria Star replied to the message again, 'You seem very happy. Was there anything interesting during the hunt?"
Reply message, 'Yes, I met someone who is not afraid of me."
Professor Aria Star replied, 'Wow, that's great! Who is that? Do you know who that person's name is?"
Reply message, 'I'll tell you another time."
Professor Aria Star took a deep breath and smiled, 'Well, at least this time the hunting day didn't disappoint you."
Time slowly went by. The moonlight shone in the sky with beautiful lights like a rainbow around the night with a few clouds.
Undermoon Academy, Undermoon.
Lily and Professor Aria Star arrived at Undermoon. This time, Lily was not with Alpha Grey. Vampire Theo had been seen from a distance. Lily decided to part with Professor Aria Star and immediately approached Vampire Theo.
'You kept that night a secret, right?," Lily asked.
'Of course. Are you really sure you want to investigate this alone?," Vampire Theo replied.
Lily nodded, 'What else should I do? I don't want Alpha Grey to know about this and disrupt his life now. I want to prove all this myself."
'What about your mother?," Vampire Theo asked.
'I don't think she will be like me. Somehow she is quite blind about this. She believes in the adopted boy. My father even seemed different when the adopted boy came to our family. I don't think my father is that kind of person who easily trusts that kid," Lily explained.
'What if I help you?"
'Is that true?"
Vampire Theo nodded and smiled, 'Yes. I'm serious. I'll help you."
Lily smiled, 'Thank you."
'By the way, where is that selfish man?" Vampire Theo asked.
'Alpha Grey is busy at the company. I hope he can control his emotions right now," Lily said.
Alpha Grey's presence is now in his office.
He is trying to find an investor. It is not a big or well-known company, so it is tough to see that. Moreover, there is humour about his incompetence in leadership.
His subordinates knocked on the door. He was someone who was trusted to create a website for this company.
'Excuse me, Mr. Grey. I want to show you the results of my work," he said.
'Please sit down!" Grey replied.
The man started to sit on the chair and showed the results of his hard work. He also explained the website, and Grey certainly listened carefully to the explanation.
'Good job! Why is it finished so quickly? Are you working overtime again?!," Grey asked.
'Yes, sir. I want to show my abilities. I am very grateful to be accepted in a place like this, and my position is based on my abilities. Even the salary…..," he said, which was suddenly cut off by Mr. Grey's cold gaze.
'Go! Take your bonus in finance! Go on a five-day vacation! I don't care about you, don't come to work and do anything about your duties here. Don't come back before you do that!," Grey said in a firm voice.
The man was immediately surprised. 'Okay, sir!" he said, immediately leaving the room. With an annoyed feeling, he returned to his desk. His colleagues in the room silently watched his behaviour. When he sat on the chair, the colleague beside him said, 'What happened?"
'Mr. Grey asked me to go to the finance department! I've done all this well!," he said in an annoyed tone that immediately made all his colleagues in the room misunderstand.
Without saying much more, he immediately went to the finance department to collect his bonus and take a five-day vacation. He had to do that even though he wanted to work and help Mr. Grey achieve his dream.
Instantly, the misunderstanding spread and became gossip in the office.
'Don't make the slightest mistake! Mr. Grey will fire anyone."
'Huh, why? Isn't it…."
'I heard someone was just fired for working overtime in completing his work. Mr. Grey found out, and he was fired that day too!"
'Do we have to finish our work quickly? That's not possible! We're not robots!"
'Shh! Don't let Mr. Grey find out about your weaknesses. He might start firing weak people."
'Huh, you bastard! Isn't he a man who has no leadership values. Is that why he fired us?"
'Yes, it seems like this company will go bankrupt soon too!" The gossip about Mr. Grey's cold attitude spread so that everyone became reluctant to him.
The company's website was running well. Alpha Grey began to ask the employees to attend a meeting together. Alpha Grey wanted to hear everyone's opinions in the meeting room about the idea that he would run together. Everyone boldly expressed their views. Strangely, Alpha Grey always recorded the names of everyone who gave him brilliant ideas.
'To find a creator of a work, I don't think it has to be a professional in the field. What if we give opportunities to everyone? For example, our target is students in remote areas, so that it creates jobs. As a result, maybe entrepreneurs in the area will entrust product packaging to this company. In the past, I lived in a remote area. I was just a lucky person who got a good education. I have a friend who is quite good at this field. However, he didn't have much capital so he only hid his interest. He is building a business now. I'm sure if we offer something like this, he will certainly feel very helped," said one of the employees.
With a cold feeling, Alpha Grey said, 'I don't care what he goes through. But if he still doesn't give up on his ideals and hopes, please come to this company. Please go to the finance department and make your travel plans starting now. Find innovation there, and come back when you're done."
'Y-yes, Mr Grey!," he said, frozen. His feelings were filled with anxiety.
'Mr. Grey, what kind of person do you want?" asked another employee.
The discussion in this meeting continued. Everyone felt happy because their opinions were heard well.
