The Story of the Young CEO
CHAPTER 18 THE FIRST STEPS

For a while the CEO's room was still silenced by silence. No one has spoken since Raihan said the words that made the 3 people who were there silent.

Yes, they all do not have the strength to oppose Mr. Baskoro. And as if taking it for granted according to the flow of destiny that runs.

But soon, Shafira said that addressed to Bayu which of course disperse silence and silence that some time lasts.

"Bay, actually, I don't care about the fate that befell the family of Pakle Mulyono, your father and also you. But I also don't have the strength to oppose papa."

"Papa is too big for us to fight with our weak strength," Shafira said in a sigh.

"I thank you for your attention to our family" Bayu said. "But you don't have to think too much about it. I don't even bother with it anymore."

"It's not that I don't have the strength to reclaim my right back" Bayu continued in a wise tone. "What is important to me is that my father's company still runs even though it belongs to Mr. Baskoro."

"You take it easy, Bay, one day we will be able to take your right back from Mr. Baskoro" Raihan said.

"If you don't have a handle," said Shafira "you can't carry out your resolve."

Raihan was silent to his brother's words. In his heart he thought about the truth of the saying. If he or Bayu did not have the grip or the foundation to explore the power of Pak Baskoro, where could he realize his determination?

Thinking about it, Raihan began to be interested in managing the company given by his father. But he must know the background first, why did this company Mr Baskoro give him?

"Mbak Fira, why did Mr. Baskoro give this company to me?" asked Raihan to reveal his heart.

"Actually this company is not directly given to you, papa" Shafira revealed.

"meaning?" raihan asked not yet understood.

So Shafira began to explain the background of this company until it was given to Raihan.

This company that Shafira is temporarily managing that Aira is helping is actually the result of the struggle of Shafira and Aira.

That is, this company was almost sold by Pak Baskoro. Not because the parent company is experiencing financial shock. But because Mr. Baskoro feels this company is no longer worthy to be held by him.

Because actually Pak Baskoro also has a company whose business is almost similar to this company. It was a company entrusted to his first son named Fauzan Adhitama to manage it.

In other words, the company managed by his first son was retained. While the company was removed.

But before the company is actually sold by Pak Baskoro, Shafira and Aira ask Pak Baskoro to give this company to Raihan, his son or third child.

Initially Pak Baskoro did not agree to give this company to Raihan. The reason was obvious, he also hated his son a lot. This was supported by Fauzan, his first son.

But because persuaded by Shafira assisted by his mother, Bu Retno, finally Pak Baskoro would also hand over this company to Raihan. By great force.

With the provisions, this company no longer has any connection with the parent company, namely PT. MITRA Baskoro Company's. In other words, this company has been released by the parent company and left to its own way.

While Mr. Sudrajat, his father Aira did not give any reaction. In a sense, his brother would give this company to Raihan or not, not his business. It's up to Mr. Baskoro himself as the one who owns the company.

"It has been 3 years this company I and Aira manage," said Shafira later. "The first year and the second year of the company's condition are still safe...."

"But in the last year," Shafira continued, "the company's situation has been shaken. Even in the last 3 months things have gotten worse. Until some of the employees have to I PHK..."

"If you do not want to own this company," said Shafira again pleaded, "you and Bayu did not help us in overcoming the difficulties that occurred in this company."

Raihan was silent for a moment thinking about all of Shafira's words just now. The same with Bayu. But from the pull of their faces it appears that they are thinking.

Then, as if he had agreed before, Raihan and Bayu turned to look at 2 small black suitcases on the table in front of Shafira and Aira.

Raihan looked at the suitcase in front of Shafira. Bayu looked at the suitcase in front of Aira.

Shafira and Aira who were certainly looking and knew the direction of the eyes of the two handsome young men, as if knowing the meaning of their views, the two girls immediately opened the suitcase in front of them.

After that, Shafira thrust the suitcase she opened in front of Raihan. While Aira, without being told to directly thrust the suitcase he opened in front of Bayu.

"That's all these company's important files and documents" Shafira said without being asked, "following other important papers."

"Please see and learn it!" shafira continued as if asking very.

For a moment Raihan and Bayu only saw the contents of the suitcase in front of each of them. They kept looking at each other for a few seconds. Then look back at the pile of important letters in the suitcase.

Shortly after, Raihan moved his hand to pick up some of those important pieces of paper. Almost simultaneously Bayu followed anyway. While their actions continue to be stared at by Shafira and Aira without blinking.

Shafira looked at Raihan and Bayu in turn. As for Aira just looking at Bayu a young man who has made him interested to produce a sense of liking.

"Do you believe we can manage this company, Ma'am?" raihan asked as he continued to observe the papers in his hand. "We're just high school graduates."

"We also have no experience working in the company, Ma'am," Bayu said. "We're just former factory workers."

While talking, he also did not come off fiddling with the sheets of paper in his hands.

"You remember, of course," said Shafira in response, "when we asked you a few things about the state of the company when we visited you in Surabaya...."

"From there I thought that you guys do have above average intelligence. Regardless of the education status you have. So, I feel confident that you can manage this company."

"What Mbak Fira said is true, Mas Rai, Mas Bay," Aira said. "I'm also sure that you can run this company well."

"Maybe even better than what Fira and I have been running all this time."

Raihan and Bayu continued to tinker with the important papers in the suitcase in front of each of them. They asked Shafira and Aira a few things about the company.

With no hesitation, with passion and seriousness, the two beautiful girls explained everything Raihan and Bayu asked.

The question asked by the two handsome young men was not the origin of this company. Not asking what company is engaged in. Not asking about how they run this company. Or things that are general in nature.

While they had never explained to Raihan or Bayu about it before. And if they ask about these things, the two girls will answer.

But the two handsome young men asked about the basic things that exist in this company. Next ask about the actions they take in overcoming certain problems.

Specifically ask about what actions have been done in overcoming the crisis that has recently occurred.

Shafira and Aira answered everything without hesitation and without shame and nothing covered up.

From there alone, from the things that were asked, both Shafira and Aira increasingly recognized the genius of the two handsome young men.

Especially when Raihan and Bayu raised criticism of genius that does not underestimate the ability of people. Continue to explain about brilliant ideas and the right actions that must be done.

It all makes Shafira and Aira acknowledge and admire the genius of Raihan and Bayu in thinking and acting.

The two beautiful girls so thought, could-can the chaos of this company can be quickly resolved. Maybe they will even make this company more famous.

"Is there any news of the event or a statement from Mr. Baskoro that this company has broken with the parent company?" raihan asked on the sidelines as he continued to check important documents.

"No," Shafira said frankly. "Papa just said that this company is no longer connected to PT. MITRA Baskoro Company's. No written documents or news of any event."

"Is that kind of thing important, Mas Rai?" tanya Aira wanted to know at once also surprised as if she realized something.

"Yes obviously important," said Raihan although relaxed but firm. "If one day this company can be successful with resounding success, it is likely that Mr. Baskoro will take over again this company...."

"By the pretext of this company is still connected to the parent company," continued Raihan, "although he once said that this company has broken off its relationship with the parent company."

"We can't prosecute him because there's no written evidence of it" Raihan said.

Shafira and Aira looked mangosteen to hear the words of Raihan which is true. They predicted that Mr. Baskoro would do just that.

"How about that?" shafira asked Raihan for advice. "Are I and Aira quick to take care of that to papa?"

"Non't now!" advice Raihan. "Not to rush. We're focused on getting over the mess that happened in this company first...."

"So... are you ready to take control of this company?" shafira asked as if guessing while smiling happily.

Aira also heard Raihan's words just smiling happily.

"Later on," said Raihan does not mean to refuse.

Then he turned to Bayu who was engrossed in his work, kept asking.

"Is there anything else you're asking, Bay?"

"Whose owner of this company is now on behalf of you, Ms Fira?" ask Bayu. "Is it in Raihan's name?"

Shafira did not answer that basic question. He was surprised unconsciously. Then he turned to Aira who was also looking at him while being surprised.

"Be... not yet..," said Shafira slightly stammered as still surprised.

Indeed he and Aira did not think that the problem was an important concern for the two young men. Which used to be not too ignored. While the company is still on behalf of....

"Whose name is it, Mommy?" ask Raihan in a relaxed tone.

"Still on behalf of the owner of the parent company, namely papa," Shafira said as timid.

"Sir, will we take care of it soon?" ask Aira to Shafira.

Just as Shafira was about to reply, Raihan immediately said.

"Not hurry, just relax. We'll take care of it later."

Then Raihan decided to temporarily not take control of the company first. But he and Bayu will manage this company in the background. Shafira and Aira still appear on the surface.

Shafira and Aira agreed. The most important thing for them is that Raihan wants to take care of this company even though it has not been directly.
