Doctor Ella Love Story
117. S2 - Kingdom of Business

After all the insane preparations, even to the jockeying overtime for the past few months. Finally completed also the process of building and maintenance of the company complex initiated by Ardi.

Today finally became the Launching day of the Kingdom of Pradana group-owned business named Pradana Bussiness Park. A press conference and a large opening party were prepared and held at the main building convention hall in the afternoon.

Two years right from the signing of various employment contracts with investors and business partners, land acquisition, construction of physical buildings, to the fulfillment of all equipment in each office unit. Finally everything can be said all sets and this office complex is ready to operate.

Linggar today serves as the front guard to greet and warmly welcome various invited guests from various circles. Starting from VIP guests, business partners, conglomerates, officials, political elites, even some invited artists who attended the party.

Today Linggar who got the infuriating task stood near the entrance of the hall as a welcome sie. Because of course as a core member of Pradana it is natural today to be a good host. Linggar's main task is to welcome VIP guests of business associates who must be directed to the press conference room.

As for other members of the Pradana family, Ardi and his team who became the main characters today were very busy with press conferences and all the formalities of the opening ceremony. Laras and Mahes also helped Linggar get along with guests in the hall.

Although Laras can not be maximal in carrying out his duties because the little Rangga who sometimes fuss despite in the care of Nanynya. Mahes also had to double as a representative of Hartanto who is a VIP business partner, as well as Pradana's son-in-law who welcomes guests.

Both parents were also present, Mr. Erwin and Mrs Kartika Pradana. But the two were only present as masters and great mistresses without getting the division of duties. Ardi seemed not to want to burden Erwin who indeed should not be too tired since his illness. While Kartika is in charge of accompanying and supervising her husband, reminding her to retreat from the party and rest if she starts to get tired.

"Hello Brother Irza, welcome." Linggar greeted and extended his hand to a young man with white skin and a handsome face. The man she knew as Irza Wismail, the main heir of Wismail Group from Jakarta. Irza is a VIP guest tonight, considering Wismail is a business partner who took one of the office complexes in this business park.

"Hei Linggar, sorry. Did the show start?" Irza welcomed Linggar's hand.

"Not yet, Mas Ardi was still in the press conference inside. Brother Irza please come in and take place in the conference room as well for the formalities of signing the contract symbolically."

"The others have come?"

"Yet. VIP guests from Sampoerna group, MascusCo group and Ciputra group are also still not present" Linggar replied remembering his guest list.

"That's Prasetyo Sampoerna," Irza waved her hand at a young man who had just got out of the lamborgini car with a beautiful woman with a little tomboyish makeup.

"Welcome, introduce me Linggarjati Pradana." Linggar greeted the two VIP guests with a big smile. It was a little awkward because he had never met face to face with the heir of the Sampoerna group.

"Hey, are you the young master of Pradana? Where's ardi? surely you can't move anymore, can you?." Tyo returned Linggar's greeting, and the two shook hands as a greeting.

"Udah brani bring a girl now, Tyo?" Irza instead greeted Tyo and exchanged bro-hug.

"What chick? This is Praditha my sister who just graduated from college in Australia. It's time to get to know the younger generation now" Tyo replied.

"Ditha, know this boss Wismail group si Irza. And this is Linggar the young lord of Pradana who is one generation with you." Tyo ordered his sister to get acquainted with the two men before him.

"Greetings, I am Praditha Sampoerna." Ditha nodded, introducing herself politely.

Linggar observed the woman before him, curious because it was said to be a generation with him. At first glance Praditha looks striking and different from most other women present at this party.

Ditha did not wear a dress as her party outfit, she preferred Blazers and trousers in black with floral decorations and beads that gave the impression of elegance. Makes it look formal like a young executive. Even with the tomboyish makeup so, this girl still clearly showed a natural beauty on her face.

"Three of you please go straight to the press conference room only yes," Linggar ordered one of the waiters to escort the three VIP guests to leave.

Linggar returned to carry out his duties after the departure of the three guests earlier. Greet and welcome any guests present. Shortly thereafter came Ceicillia Tang, the princess of the Ciputra group.

The beautiful woman looks glamorous and very striking with her silver slit dress. A stunning appearance and inviting admiration for anyone who saw it, like a movie star from Korea. Linggar immediately greeted and invited Ceicillia to immediately to the conference room by being escorted by a waiters.

The last VIP guest Linggar was expecting came shortly afterwards with his Alphard car. Young married couple Nickolas Marcus, and Angelina Marcus of MarcusCo group. They both also look striking with the original face of the feather. Both are American citizens who have long been doing business in Indonesia, establishing subsidiaries engaged in the automotive field.

Linggar immediately greeted them politely and invited them. This time Linggar did not summon the waiters, but instead drove the two of them to the press conference room themselves. Because indeed his main task of welcoming VIP guests was done.

Linggar escorted his two guests to their VIP seats with the other bosses. Then he took a seat in a row of Pradana family chairs. Sitting right next to her mom and dad's chair.

"...So all production activities of the Pradana core company and five other Pradana companies will remain in the city of Banyu Harum. In Surabaya, there will only be assembly, finishing and marketing processes." Ardi explained in front of all the guests and media crew about the division of the corporate duty area under the name Pradana.

"Yes ma. Mas Ardi intends to work in Surabaya only," Linggar answered his mother's question. So is it true that Ardi made all his own decisions about making a new business empire in Surabaya? She didn't even consult and ask for opinions from her mom and dad?

"Pa, Ardi's been talking to papa before?" Kartika asked her husband.

"No. Since holding the company Ardi never asked or consulted except on urgent matters," Erwin replied.

"So this big business empire he thought to himself?" Kartika inevitably becomes amazed and proud also with the extraordinary achievements of Ardi.

In just three years of his tenure, Ardi was able to make many changes, improvements and rapid progress in all companies under the auspices of Pradana Group. Plus Ardi also managed to build a new business empire in Surabaya.

"But where did he get that kind of money? Not even Pradana's entire deposits would be enough to build a business empire like this."

"Mas Ardi is looking for investors ma. He is also famous for being able and trustworthy, so many big investors do not hesitate to disburse funds if Ardi mas filed."

"But if Ardi wants to move to Surabaya what about all the companies in Banyu Harum? It could be messed up if there's no CEO." Kartika still does not like the idea of Ardi to live in Surabaya. Stay away from his family in Banyu Harum.

"I'll replace it..."

"You? You haven't even graduated college. Abis that you still have to take S2 first can only hold the control of the company." Kartika.

"Experience is the best teacher, ma. From the S2 school, it seems to be mending direct work practice. I will soon also whisudah, after that all the companies that are there will I handle all." Linggar explained.

"So, here we are talking about Pradana core company and its five subsidiary companies. Not messing with a small company." Erwin followed worried also heard Linggar who would lead all the big companies.

Erwin did not disbelieve with this second son of his, but Linggar was still too young and inexperienced. It was too risky to immediately put all the power in his hands. Linggar still does not taste the bitterness and sweetness of life. Moreover, the business world is sometimes very brutal and cruel.

"I'll try, pa. Believe me I will learn very hard to quickly master the terrain. For the sake of our families, for the sake of the company, for the sake of all those who work under us. And most importantly for Ardi's sake..."

"For Ardi? What does this have to do with Ardi?" Kartika asked astonishment, unable to guess why Linggar would bear all the burden for Ardi.

"Mas Ardi has reached his threshold, ma. He can go crazy if he is being chased around like a gini. Mama do not pretend to forget, why mas Ardi can kayak now..."

Linggar felt he had the opportunity to open up an old story. Old stories that seem taboo and do not want to be discussed by his family. The dark past that haunts her Brother to this day, makes her a very different person than before. And it was his mother who was indirectly the cause of everything.

Kartika fell silent this time, thinking about Linggar's words. Indeed, he also felt that the nature of Ardi was much different after the incident three years ago. Since the failure of her relationship with the girl, Ella. Either magic and curse what Ella has used until it can make Ardi as if he can not move on from her.

As a child, Ardi was no longer a good boy who always obeyed the words of his parents. It is not extreme rebellion such as running away from home, eloping, impregnating people's children, or boycotting and striking. His son still knows himself and is aware of the responsibilities he has to bear.

Ardi is still trying to survive by only putting up a fight on things that concern his personal life. Especially the ones that have to do with love and romance. Not a few beautiful and attractive women from various families were introduced by Kartika to Ardi.

But Ardi always refused and avoided, even blatantly escaped if Kartika arranged a match for him. Ardi prefers to immerse himself in the busyness and affairs of the company. It was as if his son was completely uninterested in women anymore, making him worry only.

"Mom and papa did not feel strange why did Ardi want to move his office to Surabaya?" Linggar asked again.

Linggar's question once again made Kartika aware. Surabaya's? Why not another city? Well of course because the girl lives in this town. Ella lives in Surabaya. So Ardi still wants to get close to the girl? Want to go back to chasing her love that once ran aground with Ella?

While Erwin who did not know anything about the incident three years ago is increasingly confused by Linggar's question. Indeed, he can also feel the change in the nature of Ardi that became different during these years. Erwin mistook her workload and responsibilities at the company that made her son change.

Erwin became a little guilty as well to Ardi. Because he was suddenly sick so he had to put all the power at once on Ardi's shoulders. Making his son's life into chaos did not even have time to think about love and romance.
