EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 289's

...

“Icha! Come spit! Sana.” uncle Kenzo is still forcing me.

I was about to protest, but this man's gaze threatened me, still with his fork. Then my gaze reflexively glanced at the grandmother who also nodded small.

Finally, I got out of the chair, leaving behind the bread I had just spent half.

.

..

...

Tok to tok.

“Dad?” I opened the door of Evano's father's study room slowly until my head was enough to be in the crack of the door.

Uncle Felix previously said that if I had to open the door myself, there was no need to wait for it to open.

“Grandma says to breakfast soon.” I said to the point, looking at the father who lowered his right hand from beside his ear, still holding the phone in his hand with a standing position in front of his desk, facing Wildan and Diana, his face looked solemn.

“After this we will go down.” Answer father in a flat tone.

“Grandma says now! Otherwise, I don't dare to go back to the dining table alone.” I said, half threatening him.

Of course grandma didn't say that, but my thing that didn't dare to go back alone was true.

My words seemed to be quite surprising to father, as he suddenly blinked and stood even more upright looking at me who was still in the doorway.

“Then I wait outside.”

“Ich. Here.” When I was about to turn around and close the door, but my father's call stopped my movement. He waved at me to let me in and get to him.

“What's up, Yah?” I asked when I was in front of him.

Evano's father was looking for something in the pile of paper that was in front of the three of them, as I glanced at Wildan and Diana, greeting them with a smile and nod, but Diana ignored me like yesterday. I ignored him and looked back at my father.

“Give your opinion on this.” He said while handing over the document files that are stacked neatly, but it seems quite often in back and forth because the ends of the paper are crimpy.

I received the document without comment and started to open it.

“Pak Evano, what we just mentioned is the best opportunity. I think we should immediately fire him and hand him over to the police.” Diana's words made me glance at her.

“Then who wants to take care of the rest of his losses in work? New people will not be able to.” Answer father.

After skimming through the sheets of this document, I already knew the rough content. This is a loss report of one Eternity group retail branch. There are consumer complaints on the company's official web, as well as details of branch financial statements that are marked in red. In addition, there is complete data on the stock of goods in the warehouse and those that have been sold.

Dad shook his head, he sat back in his chair and looked at the two people before him, “if we roll other employees, their work in each branch will be messy. We can roll, but at least in good condition and under control. Our retail branch cannot be left for a day

without their heads.”

Wildan nodded, “right. Retail companies are very busy with part of their job is to deal with consumers, both offline and online. We can't mess up another branch just to fix a branch that's in trouble. But if like this, losses will not be covered, many employees will lose their jobs if we have to close one branch.”

“Yes! I had thought about closing the branch if this loss could not be overcome, but thinking of an innocent employee having to take a loss, I increasingly wanted to quickly imprison him!”

“As previously proposed, sir. We have to fire and report it to the police.” Diana's face seemed bright as soon as the direction of the conversation between father and Wildan came back to the idea earlier.

I closed the documents in my hand and handed them back to my father.

He looked up as he asked, “do you know what the report is about?”

“Rougherly, I have understood. That's a report about someone playing games in the company. He gradually carried out corruption until the center did not realize it from the beginning. It was only with the complaints of consumers, what he covered began to look.”

“Yes! You've come to your conclusion with just that report?”

“A case like this has happened twice where I work, another branch has done that, so I guessed it.”

“Very good!” Dad suddenly stood up, he came up to me and pushed me to sit in his chair earlier, while he stood beside me with two hands on his stomach.

I was about to stand up, not wanting to sit in his chair, but dad held my shoulder and asked “now, what good should we do?”

At a glance I glanced at Wildan and Diana, the man just looked at me with a small smile, while Diana started leaning her back on the chair, her gaze looking bored and annoyed.

“I think-” Once again glanced at Evano's father, he still looked at me while nodding.

“The first thing to do is to the consumer. Their complaints are the most important thing here. At the very least, the company should regain consumer confidence. Address their complaints quickly. Along the way, we can match the physical stock and its report data-”

“Why should you match stock? That's the responsibility of the warehouse section. The most important thing is to handle the person who did this loss.” Sela Diana's.

I looked at him and nodded, “ya indeed, holding that person accountable is also important. But by matching the physical stock in the warehouse with reports, it can lead us to other things, such as branch financial statements or on the warehouse system.”

“I don't understand.” Answer this woman.

“To put it simply, with the many complaints of consumers, it means they are not satisfied with the products provided by the company, therefore, by checking the stock is important. You know, a good warehouse system is to use the FIFO method, first in first out. If the warehouse does not do this method, it means that the number of consumer complaints is related to the warehouse as well. While we check the finance of this branch for corruption cases committed by employees, we can also propose system improvements to the warehouse so that this does not happen later on.”

Father and Wildan seemed to nod at my explanation.

“Then what about this troubled employee? We should fire him immediately.”

“Then I have two choices. First, we can just fire him and hand him over to the police, but the disadvantage to this option is that the new employee who will fill his position will have to clear up the problem and it is likely that his new job in plain sight will be messy and unresolved, he said, it could be that the new employee will not last until one month.” I looked at Diana seriously. Waiting for him to refute me but this time he seemed to be silently thinking.
