LOGINBefore Martin stood ten of his subordinates. He announced, “Our CEO is exceptionally generous. Specifically for you all, you are receiving an additional perk that you can take home. This equipment must, of course, be utilized to its fullest to support your work—the ASUS ROG Mothership.”The two managers and eight supervisors beamed with joy. Ryan was no exception. As a hardcore gamer, he had lusted after that laptop for ages; had it been possible to buy it with a pay-later service, he would have bought it long ago, but unfortunately, it cost as much as a car.David chimed in, “Focus on your work. Don't just play games!”The ten of them burst out laughing again.Shortly after, Ryan—tugging along the expensive laptop in his hands—approached Grace and said, “Tell the CEO, Ms. Grace, thank you very much. Why hasn't our CEO shown his face around here yet?”Grace replied, “The CEO is still busy. If you only knew, Ryan, our CEO is incredibly humble. He often gets around by ride-hailing motor
Two weeks later. Pak Arya had fully recovered and was able to return to managing AlfaTech. Stefan flew back to Jakarta that very day. Arriving at his luxury apartment, Stefan didn't even bother resting. Dressed in basic black trousers, a gray shirt, and dress shoes, he was already seated on the back of a ride-hailing motorcycle taxi. Stefan arrived right outside the Nano-ID office gates and stepped onto the roadside pavement. He had already sent a text message to Ryan, confirming his arrival. “Hey! Stefan! Why did you disappear? Good thing I didn't report you to Mr. Martin for working just a single day. Have you gone crazy again?” Ryan yelled from inside his car. Stefan opened the door of the ubiquitous black Toyota Innova, climbed in, and sat right in the front passenger seat. “Hmm. Ryan, we’re heading to the best and most complete computer store in Jakarta.” Whenever Ryan was around Stefan, he couldn't help feeling superior. All kinds of humorous, condescending, and random thou
Robert’s face twisted in fury. His eyebrows met in a deep scowl, and a vicious sneer pulled at the corner of his lips. Struggling against his restrainers, he snapped, “Who is the CEO of this company anyway? I demand to see him right now!” Martin straightened his shoulders and replied, “Even representatives from the government haven't been granted an audience with the CEO. Mr. Robert Sanjaya would be wise to head back to his own office. Sanjaya Techno is already being managed by Lionny Sanjaya, and everything is running smoothly. You can rest easy.” Robert refused to back down. “No! I have far more right to this than Lionny does. Let me handle all the partnership agreements. She won't know what she's doing.” Robert’s booming voice instantly drew the attention of everyone nearby. Having come here with the intent of securing a partnership, he was instead causing a massive public spectacle. Martin took decisive action. “Let’s escort him out—before security has to come up here.” Rober
Grace didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so she accepted Ryan's gift. "Thank you for the flowers. They are truly lovely. If the CEO knew there was such a kind-hearted employee like you, he’d probably open a new recruitment drive just to find more people like you. The CEO would certainly be thrilled to hear this news." Grace smiled warmly, knowing that if she let her frustration show with a sullen expression, it would ruin her mood for the rest of the morning. "Thank you as well, Madam Secretary. Those flowers are exceptionally special, meant only for someone truly special," Ryan replied with immense self-assurance. He then walked alongside Grace as she entered the office. Ryan's bizarre behavior caught the attention of other employees who had just arrived. From ordinary staff members to high-ranking corporate executives, everyone was dumbfounded by Ryan's sheer audacity. It seemed that, in Ryan's mind, corporate social strata didn't really exist; to him, an employee was just an
Martin placed a call to Stefan. “Hello, Mr. CEO? Sorry to bother you for a moment. That employee of ours, Ryan, is acting up again. It’s no small matter this time—he’s crossed paths with Ms. Sanjaya.” Martin spent a good while explaining the details of Ryan’s latest blunder. “Martin, it sounds like he’s finally admitting his mistakes. If he’s willing to speak almost like a beggar, it means he’s slowly altering his own lifestyle. Ryan never speaks like a beggar. Very well, then. Just give him the one-month penalty.” “Pardon me, I don't mean to question you, Mr. CEO. But that man is genuinely crossing the line. If we give him any breathing room, I’m worried he’ll just become more insufferable.” “Give him one final chance. Slap him with a heavier punishment if he steps out of line again. I feel a bit sorry for him. After all, he’s still an old acquaintance of mine. And keep this secret strictly confidential.” During his downtime at his residence in Switzerland, Stefan monitored and
At the Sanjaya residence. Even though Lionny could easily have strutted in proudly that afternoon to flaunt her massive achievement, she remained grounded and avoided any air of arrogance. With a soft, gentle tone, she announced: “Father, we succeeded. Sanjaya Techno has become the very first company to partner with Nano-ID. Starting today, we are officially authorized to utilize AlfaStudio.” However, Robert rudely interrupted, flatly rejecting reality. Fueled by toxic, immature stubbornness, he snapped, “Don’t believe her, Father! How on earth could she secure a contract when their CEO isn't even holding meetings yet?” Lionny offered a flat, unbothered smile. “There is no way I am lying. If any of you must know, Nano-ID’s executive secretary is Grace Santika—Father’s former personal secretary.” Bobby was struck dumb. He immediately reached over to inspect all the paperwork Lionny had brought back. A few minutes later, he nodded slowly and stated, “Lionny wouldn't lie. This secon
