"Kevin, can you help me with one more thing?" ali asked with enthusiasm.
Kevin, who was also a passionate man and always ready to help, replied, "Sure, Mr. Ali. What can I help you with?"
Ali smiled and explained his plan. "I want you to immediately prepare neat and professional clothes for me. I'll meet Neli, my sister."
"If I may know, for an event or just to meet mister?"
"I don't know, but I'll meet him at his company."
Kevin's a little cranky. He thought that Ali would definitely talk about business, so he would prepare the best. "Good sir." The answer.
Ali changed clothes soon. From makeshift clothes, to more formal clothes, complete with a black suit that adheres perfectly to his body.
After that he immediately went to his father's company, PT Karunia, a vehicle parts company. Before arriving, Ali had to pass through heavy traffic in the city of Suro.
Vehicles are long, moving at various speeds. The rhythmic sound of horns, the vehicle's thumping engine, and the whirring of passing tires create an inevitable frenzy.
At intersections, the red light turns on alternately, giving time for vehicles coming from different directions to move forward. When the green light comes on, the crowd of vehicles begins to move together, creating a sometimes slow and sometimes fast flow.
After arriving, Ali stepped out of the taxi and headed straight for the reception in the reception area.
The receptionist greeted Ali kindly, "Welcome to PT Karunia. Can I help you?"
Ali replied politely, "Thank you. I'm Ali, and I want to meet Neli. Can you tell him that I'm already here."
"Have an appointment yet?" The woman said it was friendly.
"It seems to have been arranged by Neli." Ali replied casually.
Hearing that, the receptionist looked into the meeting schedule and then nodded. "I'll call Neli's mom soon to tell him. Please wait a minute in the waiting room."
Ali nodded and sat in the waiting room, waiting for the opportunity to meet Neli. He felt a little worried, because looking at the company's financial data was important and serious.
Not long after, Neli appeared with a warm smile on his face. "Sister Ali, brother is really coming!"
Ali smiled and replied. "Of course, your brother promised." But the look on Ali's face changed, "just go straight to the point. I'd like to discuss PT Karunia's financial data with you." Ali is serious.
Neli nodded in doubt and directed Ali to his study. They sit around a table and open the financial statements of the company.
Ali carefully observed the financial data contained in the report. He started reading all about spending, income, net income, and other financial aspects.
Ali was silent for a moment. Then convey that the company's financial data looks very messy and that there are debts that have failed to be billed from several other companies. He asked Neli to give a further explanation of the situation.
Neli acknowledged the financial problems facing the company. He explained that some of the company's clients had been in financial difficulties and had failed to pay their bills. This causes unpaid debts and disrupts the company's cash flow.
"For now, what solutions does the company have?" Ask Ali.
Neli was a little hesitant, as this matter had been unresolved for a very long time. "We have tried various approaches, but they still seem to be ineffective. We need to revisit our strategy of collecting payments from our indebted clients."
Ali listened seriously and tried to understand the root of the problem. He suggested some steps that might be taken to address the situation. Some of the advice he provides includes conducting a thorough financial audit, identifying payment priorities, and establishing better communication with clients.
"That's all for today. I'll find the right person to do the audit." Said Ali, smelling strange things are going on in his father's company. "Then I'll come back, to find the right person immediately."
Neli was really grateful Ali wanted to help him.
“Do not work too late, you have not completely recovered. I go first.” Ali rattled Neli's soft hair.
Suddenly, as Ali turned to return to the Sohoo Hotel, she accidentally bumped into someone passing by in a narrow passageway. Ali stopped and was surprised.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I accidentally hit you. Are you all right?" Tanya Ali looked at the state of the young man.
"I'm fine." Ali helped her up, "if you can tell, what is your need to meet with Ms Neli?"
Ali was not happy to be asked what business he was doing, what else was a stranger.
"Who are you?" Ali asked, not happy.
"I'm the financial manager at this company. What business do you have with Neli's mother." He looked like he wanted to strip Ali.
"For a job." Answer Ali accordingly.
"Oh, a job." Said the man. "Just get this job seeker." The guy's lips.
Ali has a very good sense of hearing, can even be said to be super. He heard all the scorn of this man.
"accepted?" Ask the guy.
Ali looked at this person with a dislike look. "I'm accepted." Ali said the words of the people in front of him.
"Oh, congratulations. In which part?"
"Staff office finance."
"Oh, subordinate! I'm Dicky. Can you start working when?"
"May be whenever needed."
Dicky who heard that, felt Ali was very arrogant. He does not like people who are arrogant towards him. "Then come with me today!" He said in a harsh tone.
Ali followed this guy from behind. He took his cell phone, and immediately sent a message to Neli.
"Neli, I found a suitable person."
It just so happened that Neli responded quickly, "Who's sister?"
"The guy's so cool, handsome, and brave." Ali typed with a smile, "oh, he's smart too. If I were a woman, I would have chased her desperately."
"Aren't you going to set me up with him?"
"No!"
"Why do you flatter her too high?"
"Because he's your brother. Haha...." Ali couldn't help laughing, Dicky started to get distracted.
"Even if Neli's mother accepts you. I'm still your boss!" Dicky doesn't like Ali's behavior.
"From today don't call me brother!" He sent the message and put his phone back in.
Ali cleared his throat, "what did you say?"
The man stopped, flipped his body then floated the tip of his index finger, “don't fuck around here! I can fire you whenever I want. Even before you start work, I can fire you!”
