Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

35. Opportunity

On Thursday, I do not have any lectures, which means that is a workday.

I meet Coraline at Zelt Tech early in the morning, and we embark on our workday. Our schedule is tedious. today, we need to visit external supplying stations, the factory, or chips all while working on paperwork, various reports, and attending meetings with the executive board. Executive meetings are not my favorite as I always feel like the dumbest person on the planet when I was in the company of others, more. experienced and mature individuals, although I understand their necessity.

I don’t feel as much of a fish out of the water as I did when I began this COO gig. Those early days were hard because I did not have the experience. I knew the theories, of course, but when it came to practice, I was basically a big baby. I did not have the opportunity to learn while being at the bottom of the corporate ladder and most people. I didn’t have the experience of working with my father from a young age.

Coraline was a great help, as she had more experience than I did. So was Gerald, but he had his own job. to do and couldn’t babysit me constantly.

The company is still in a state of shock after the shootout. We try to assure the employees of their safety to the best of our ability, but it is pretty hard when the criminals responsible for the shooting were still roaming free. There were already resignation letters coming in from terrified employees who would rather leave their job than die for the job. How can I blame them? I would’ve done the same thing in their position.

The executive meeting is largely centered on this topic. In the end, we decide to give the employees a light pay raise and some bonuses in order to keep them from leaving the position and to give more benefits to the newly recruited. We also decide to hire more security and send warnings to the employees to be mindful of their own safety.

Everyone hopes the situation will improve soon. So far, we haven’t gotten a favorable word from the detectives, but we hold on to hope.

“Man, that was exhausting,” Coraline grumbles as we return to the office after a particularly stressful trip to the factory, “I thought I was going to faint from the heat. Why did the manager insist on giving us a tour?”
