The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 185
Advertisement
_In this world, there are so many people named Gibran. The man whose girl decided to commit suicide by falling from the 7th floor of a shopping center at that time, also named Gibran_ Mahendra muttered.
Shortly after shaking hands, some snacks and dishes came out. Ananta was welcomed in the special family guest room. A warm room that displayed photos of Hendra from his childhood to adulthood. Including books and room ornaments that were also warm, plus dim lights. The room where Aruna first waited for Hendra, who at that time was called by Wiryo's bodyguard.
Aruna smiled at her big brother. She was very happy that her brother came. Even her father hadn't visited her at the main house, but Anantha visited her first. As Aruna sat down, Hendra also sat beside her, putting one of his hands on the waist of his beloved tiny wife.
"Actually, I came here specifically to talk to Aruna. Can you give us some privacy?". Anantha asked.
"Okay. I'll give you some privacy if the man beside you leaves too". Hendra couldn't accept being told to stay away by Anantha. If this was a matter of privacy between the family, why the man named Gibran, who was still wearing the ethnic bracelet from Aruna, was still allowed to sit in the same place by Anantha?
"Huh. You're really troublesome". The brother-in-law complained.
"Huh. Such a weird brother-in-law, kicking out your brother-in-law and letting another person talk to his little sister was considered a part of privacy". Mahendra replied.
"Okay. You can listen to the three of us talking". Anantha finally allowed Mahendra to listen to the discussion of his co-worker's investment plan in the Magic Letter.
Anantha began to express the purpose of his arrival. He made Aruna disappointed. It turned out that his brother came to discuss business matters, instead of missing her. Hendra saw that and rubbed his wife's back several times.
"How, Aruna? Are you interested? I've met your friends and they agreed that the final decision is yours". Anantha offered.

"I can't decide right away. Even though you explained the reasons for some individuals on the Magic Letter team, after all I have to meet them before deciding on something big". Aruna revealed what to go through before making a decision. That's how Magic Letter work.
"With such an offer of money, frankly it was more of an acquisition phase, than having them manage it. Obviously, they can't. Tell the truth if you've been there and seen it. Writing expense and income journals is only in the form of ordinary journal writing, without any system. Unless the disbursement of funds that you plan to do is your way of acquiring in a smooth mode". Hendra spoke according to his perspective in viewing the offer presented by Anantha.
"Who told you to talk? We just want to talk to Aruna and you just have to monitor her." Anantha couldn't accept what Mahendra said. He chose to defend his friend who had been silent while looking at the blue-eyed man's wife.
"You know, for a simple analysis, I'm used to getting paid handsomely. Because what's being discussed is something my wife built and loved from scratch, as her husband, I have the right to give her input. If you don't want to hear it, just cover your ears". The words of hostility came back from Aruna's brother with his brother-in-law.
"One more thing, unless you really want Aruna's start-up". Hendra smirked.
"Hendra, that's not how you say it..". The woman reminded again about choosing the best sentence when talking to family members. The man changed his smile as a sign of apology.
"We don't have plans that far". Gibran gave the impression of a gentle discussion.
Not sure what happened, Anantha seemed to think.
"If that's not what you want, then what do you mean by investing in a small start-up?". Hendra asked.
"I see the idea is quite fresh. It hasn't existed anywhere else yet. For a fresh idea like that, it's a shame if they just ride on social media platforms. They need to expand their wings to strengthen their start-up and lead it to transform into a big company that specializes in handling a wide range of accessories and as a display service provider for special occasions". Gibran didn't want to lose in his approach.

[In the world of business and economics, a platform is a place where there is a direct interaction between two or more economic actors who mutually benefit each other through a sustainable value creation process (Gawer and Cusumano, 2008). That interaction is facilitated by the platform owner by providing a certain number of counter-achievements that are agreed upon by both parties. In this context, platforms are often called multi-sided platforms, two-sided markets, or two-sided networks (Rochet and Tirole, 2001). Examples of online buying and selling platforms or online businesses, namely Bukalapak, Tokopedia, Lazada, etc.).
"Why don't you try to build your own platform? Then make Magic Letter as the contributor. That makes more sense than you handing over huge funds to the Magic Letter who still have very little understanding of business. You expect students who are looking for extra pocket money to build their own platform, manage, and fill it themselves. They don't have a complete understanding of business. None of the kids even came from a business major. They aren't foreign graduates like Ferry Unardi (the founder of Traveloka with a Master's Degree in Business at Harvard University). As the owner of the money, you should be able to predict things this far. Unless you have other motives". Hendra cornered him at length and thoroughly.
On the other side of that conversation, even though Aruna was the founder of the Magic Letter, she actually didn't understand what Mahendra and the people in front of her were talking about. Aruna was blank about business matters and such. She only ran the Magic Letter as a way to provide an easy way of empowerment for women in the empowerment program who were her business partners. Apart from that, she also channeled her hobbies. Her dream was limited to being able to make Magic Letters to continue to survive to help partners and provide additional pocket money for herself and her friends. Getting a profit of up to 100 million was too extraordinary.
While Anantha, that man began to realize many things from the mouth of his brother-in-law. After all, his brother-in-law was the CEO of a company that had stood firm for years, controlling various business sectors throughout the country.
Gibran was silent, confused about Mahendra's accusations. Rey was camouflaged using the name of Gibran and the real Gibran. Indeed, since the beginning of the viral invitation of Blue Oceans, he was very interested in acquiring the small start-up, whose branding had already hit the community, but hadn't yet had strong management. That start-up would be used as a stepping stone for the early expansion of the Tarantula Group from conventional to digital.
The wife whispered a little in her husband's ear: "Hendra, what should I do?".
"Let's wait for his answer". Hendra stroked his wife's hair. The top of an empty head that didn't understand anything. He played with her hair while waiting for an answer from Gibran.
"Honestly, our focus is only on the fresh idea. We forgot to think about it in detail. Thank you for helping to make further analysis of what might happen". He annulled his statement.
Hendra smiled, understanding that his interlocutor had reached the point where he could no longer fight his argument. A communication like this was Hendra's daily food when he met business opponents, especially a meeting with a Wenceslas Group subsidiary.
.
.
"Anantha". Hendra called Aruna's big brother who planned to say goodbye to go home.
Anantha followed his brother-in-law. He knew Hendra wanted to talk to him privately.
