JI 2 - Start to Improve

Arini sat looking at Leon with a sharp look. She was still very upset with her husband. The debt thing that her husband hid made her upset instead of playing.

"Why? Why don't you tell me that the company hasn't paid off its debt for three months?" ask Arini in a low tone. Although he was upset, but he did not want to speak in a high tone.

"I'm sorry" Leon said with guilt. "I just don't know where to tell you," he continued.

Arini breathed out slowly. He closed his eyes for a moment, and then he said, "the debt I have paid. Put on my personal money. Because the principle of the business must separate private and corporate money, then I ask permission to sell the assets of the company whose function is not too necessary."

"Bah... Why didn't I think about it in the first place, huh?" leon's comments were enthusiastic. "I should have sold the tv in my room from the beginning. I never saw it either."

"So you allow me to sell the company's assets?" ask Arini.

"Of course" replied Leon confidently. There are many assets in the company whose functions are not needed. Take the tv in Leon's office. Refrigerator in the pantry. The company's minibus cars, because they already have one car box for work mobility delivering products.

Arini sat in front of the dresser while combing her hair. As usual, Arini's habit before going to bed at night is like this.

Jasmine and Yusuf had fallen asleep in bed. While Leon, sitting leaning on the back of the bed, with a laptop on his lap.

"Sleep! It's late" said Arini as he walked to his bed.

Leon said he kept his laptop in a nightstand drawer. After that, they sleep.

The more days the company's state is getting stable enough. It's all because Arini and Leon never give up.

Arini in helping the marketing team aggressively market their products. And now they have a lot of clients.

In addition, the production team is currently busy looking for additional cow suppliers. Because Leon's cows in the village can no longer meet market demand.

Actually Arini wanted to come to the farm in the village and see the situation there, but Leon did not allow him to travel far. Arini is afraid she will be exhausted.

The farm has been formed since four years ago, but never once had Arini come to look there.

Leon himself rarely came there, at most one year four times. And it never stays.

Leon believed in his partner. Because the results of sales are always good and not infrequently increased significantly. Leon simply monitors the financial statements sent by e-mail only.

The beginning of the formation of the farm was when Leon's college friend decided to move to his wife's hometown and become a cattle farmer there. Coincidentally also Leon's friend was a ranch scholar.

Then Leon invested in the farm. Until it came to be as it is today.

And now, Arini has just finished selling the company's assets. He has sold a tv unit, a refrigerator, and a new minibus car.

Arini does not know what Leon's motivation to buy a minibus, because the company already has a crib car to deliver meat from the company to the client place.

The money from the sale Arini took to replace the installment of the debt and the rest he put in the company's cash.

Leon, who knew his wife could solve the company's problems very well, was very proud of his wife. He alone who has been struggling for years in the business world, is still struggling to bring his company back up again.

But Arini, not long ago Leon's wife was plunged into the business world, it could immediately bring change to the bright spot.

Indeed Leon must admit, women's financial management is amazingly good.

***

Leon invites David to visit Arini at the office. And now here they are.sitting together in the company's workspace.

While David, the man immediately asked permission to walk around the company.

Actually David was not looking for a walk, he just wanted to give time to his employer. It seems like there is something they both want to talk about. So David chose to go for a walk.

"I just realized, if it turns out that all this time my financial management is very bad. I can buy things that end up not being used" said Leon who sat on a long sofa.

Arini who sat next to Leon said, "already. Make this a lesson."

Leon nodded in agreement. If Arini is not handled, I don't know what the company is in a few months. Maybe go out of business.

"Today you've done anything?" ask Arini. He knew David's absurd behavior. Leon told him himself. "An unexpected extreme, for example?"

Leon shook his head while laughing. "none. David was going to teach me to eat at the restaurant but not pay. But I don't want to. Fear of sin" said Leon casually.

"Eating at a restaurant doesn't pay? Wah... You should follow what David said. Am I curious myself? How is it, huh?" Arini looked like she was talking to herself. "What about washing dishes? Or how?" continued.

"Yes my. Why don't I go that far, huh? I just think the only way to eat not pay is to run away when you're full. It turns out you can do the dishes too, huh?" Leon chuckled while shaking his head.

Arini is thrilled to see Leon today. Leon now looks more alive. His eyes are no longer empty. He also laughed often. And most importantly, Leon already had an appetite again. Not just milk and juice.

All of Leon's good changes come from David. Arini is so grateful to David. Although the man was only twenty years old, but his attitude to treat Leon was very creative. So Leon doesn't feel like a sick person.

"It's lunch time. What do you want to eat?" ask Arini while picking up her phone which is on the desk.

"Goat fried rice," Leon said without thinking long.

"If it's David, what is it?" Arini asked herself.

"He likes steak" Leon said. Leon knows David's favorite. Because every time they want to go to a restaurant, David always recommends a steakhouse.

"Okay, I order two goat-fried rice and one steak" Arini said with an agile finger dancing over the phone screen. The woman was ordering food online.
