Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 159 (The Ruckus In The Meeting)

Malik had a meeting this morning with the shareholders. Aldo has prepared all the materials needed as material presentation Malik later. The atmosphere before the meeting with the shareholders is always tense, there will be a debate that makes Aldo's head feel like it would break.

Aldo went into Malik's room to explain what he had prepared and asked Malik for what opinions he needed to add. Aldo explained at length the contents of the report in question. Rera who was standing beside Aldo noticed Malik's sparkling eyes, but it didn't seem to be due to the report that Aldo was currently describing.

“Al...”Rera whispered in Aldo's ear. Moving his eyes to Malik who was smiling was unclear. Aldo shook his head when he knew Malik was not focused on his efforts. Seeing Aldo's expression, Rera regretted that it would only ignite a debate between the two.

“Bos...tok...tokkk...(knocking table), boss......!!!!” Aldo's voice shrieked until Rera was shocked. Malik looked up, staring at Aldo and Rera's faces alternately without any guilt.

“Why Al, you were so noisy this morning.” Smiling is unclear. “Why are you angry is unclear, beware loh...later you cepet old Al.” Malik smiling.

“You are not clear, why blame me!” Aldo glared involuntarily.

“Sorry Boss, please be serious little Boss. This is shareholder meeting.” Aldo pressed his voice so that Malik understood the panic that enveloped him.

Malik nodded, grabbing the stack of papers that were in Aldo's hands carefully. One by one his hands turned sheet by sheet after reading it a glance.

I don't know what possessed her soul, she wasn't even angry with my very rude tone earlier. He exchanged souls with others. No way, I was imagining too much. Aldo still feels there is something strange about Malik.

Finished checking all reports, Aldo immediately invited Malik to the lobby to welcome the board of directors who came this morning. Still with a very happy smile on Malik's face. Aldo was afraid that Malik today could not work optimally because his soul was elsewhere.

One by one the meeting participants came in luxury cars, branded clothes with a dark average and did not forget a private secretary who accompanied wherever the big boss went. Malik greeted with such excitement as his mood this morning. Usually a sour face with a sharp gaze that always adorns the face of his handsome.

One person who was quite old approached Malik with a warm smile. Looks like a pretty familiar person with the Malik family. Several times patted Malik on the shoulder after hugging him, looking so proud of the achievements Malik has achieved so far. The company he once raised with Rama can progress rapidly when an expert intervenes in business development in the company.

“You are already very big and make me feel proud to be here.” Malik went to help the man who loved him so much. All this time Malik got a lot of guidance from him when starting a business that he did not understand the ins and outs.

He painstakingly paid attention and taught slowly. Rama was so busy that he did not pay attention to the performance of his son. He who Malik called by the name of Uncle named Krisdianto who has been faithful to give advice for himself.

“Uncle who has guided me so far. See the company we built together, now it is a company that should be reckoned with in our own country.” Malik smiled proudly.

“How's your wife doing?” Uncle Kris whispered in Malik's ear. Just touch her face met red feeling happy the name of the woman she loved so the attention of Kris.

“He's very good, you should stop by and try his homemade food.” Uncle Kris was also happy to see Malik who was so proud and looked very happy when telling the figure of his wife Ayu.

“You seem to have become a real man like your father.”Kris recalled how Rama so often flattered his wife in front of his friends. Even Rama Jarag once want to be invited nonkrong just eliminate fatigue after working all day.

“She came here later after school. I'll introduce Uncle officially with him.”Malik sat down in his chair after helping Kris sit in his available place.

After all the gathering, the door of the room was closed. Malik began his presentation by reading out some financial statements, company stock movements and also some new project launches that will be traded. Still safe, Aldo did not see the slightest gestures of facial gestures that would try to complain about their work.

“It seems like everything I have discussed, does anyone want to add or ask a question?” Malik sat down, reaching for his full coffee glass. Sipping it slightly soaked his dry throat.

“Sir Malik” Someone stood with a face that looked doubtful as to what he was about to say.

“It's okay, just tell me if it's for the good of the company.” Malik is relaxed with anyone. Trying to be a man who is not afraid of correction against him.

“I heard a pretty big rumor, but I'm still not sure what I heard, and whether it's worth saying here.” He looked at everyone who was there and was taking a serious look. The man that Malik did not remember too much was seen swallowing his saliva several times. He seemed a little afraid to speak his heart.

“I am with Mr. Malik married an underage girl who is still in high school Pak.” Subjected after uttering his anxiety, a little guilty because all this time Malik treated him all his business clients very well, including himself.

Malik tried to keep smiling. What they are worried about is true, but he will not bring Ayu in danger just because of the good name of the company. Not everyone knows about Malik's marriage, only confidants know about Malik and Ayu's marriage.

“I will not mix my personal problems with work and risk the good name of the company. I can work with a professional.” malik trying to be calm. Aldo began to sweat, he had imagined that this might happen.

“But sir, what Mr. Ramdani said is true. Our stock could have gone down if there was a scandal like this in the ranks of the company's top brass.” Who looks to start thinking about the possibility that could harm the company.

“Scandal!” Malik was screaming a little. His eyes lit up making anyone who saw him feel fear.

“Bos please do not get carried away by emotions, Boss should be calm.” Aldo tried to calm Malik so as not to get carried away by emotions. Malik turned his back on all the meeting participants, trying to regulate his breathing that had begun to feel heavy.

“Gentlemen all present here I beg you not to rashly accuse Mr. Malik without proof. This all we can talk about with a cool head.” Uncle Kris tried to calm down everyone who was currently in a row with his own thoughts and opinions.

“Pak Malik cannot let us accept the consequences of his actions. He had to leave the girl who still stinks of kencur who had teased him.” Malik stared with a deathly gaze, slowly his feet stepping closer to the man who was talking carelessly about Ayu before him.

Malik grabbed the collar of the shirt and clutched firmly, his eyes unblinking staring hatefully. “Do not talk carelessly, you do not know who the woman who is currently with me.” All dumbfounded. Meaning that confusing news is not wrong. Malik even admitted it with his own mouth in public.

“Don't bet the company just for the sake of Malik's inappropriate woman. We've all been counting on you.” Uncle Kris finally let Malik out of the meeting room. Talking in anger will not solve the problem. It will only make things more uncontrollable.

“Please do not think of things that have not happened and will not happen. Let Malik raise himself first.” Kris calmed everyone down to be calm.

Malik sipped his mineral water until it ran out, his shirt was a little wet because Malik drank in a state of trembling until the water spilled out of control. Aldo was confused what if it had been like this, Malik must have been very sad to hear the blasphemy of shareholders who did not consider his feelings.

“Bos, please do not get carried away by emotions because of their speech. The boss should remain calm in the face of a situation like this.” Aldo spoke very slowly.

Malik pushed Aldo's body until Aldo's head hit the wall. Aldo did not dare to complain, Malik looked very angry at him. He should be quiet later. “You can be quiet if the woman you protect and love them is despicable. They can insult me, but don't try to touch Ayu.” Aldo was just silent, opening his mouth was the same as giving himself up to be beaten by Malik.

“Iya Bos.” Aldo. “I'm sorry Boss.” Malik released his hand. Aldo only expressed his concern, but Malik blamed him instead. Malik felt guilty and tidied up Aldo's messy shirt because of his actions.

“I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry Al.” Aldo's lips lifted up a little. Since when did Malik become a person who wants to admit his mistake like this. He would usually be arrogant regardless of the feelings of others.

Malik re-entered the meeting room after being able to control his emotions. Malik sat quietly among the meeting participants who were now calm as well. There was no more commotion, but the atmosphere became awkward.

Aldo closed the event today with a summary of the meeting content that he had made well. All nodded in satisfaction with the results of today's meeting. But it still leaves the anger of seeing Malik who is rash and not careful in acting, considering he has a big responsibility for the company he currently leads.

“We just want to add a little Mr. Malik, we beg that what became our unrest does not affect the performance of the father to make the company that you can always be proud of.” Uncle Kris said the contents of the deal he made with other shareholders.

“I can't possibly harm both. I'll be more careful.” Uncle Kris smiled proudly, it turned out Malik was able to dampen his emotions that had peaked over him. He has become a responsible adult.

“Uncle, let me introduce you to my beloved woman. They have no right to insult him.” Malik pouting. Kris grabbed Malik's hand to help himself walk.

“Every problem comes with the antidote, don't give up. Prove that what we fear is not true.” Talk with courtesy.

Upon arrival at the company cafeteria, there is Ayu accompanied by Mr. Dodo enjoying his favorite chocolate pudding. Ayu hurriedly cleaned her hands and mouth when she saw Malik walking over to her. Ayu could not avoid Malik's eyes because Malik walked with the old man who smiled kindly at him.
