Chapter 82 - A Bold New Direction
Upon the arrival of ten new members joining the executive seats at the grand meeting room in the
Brown Company Building, it naturally caused a stir of admiration and raised many questions among the
employees.
The remaining five veteran executive members, however, were not pleased. They felt slighted that
these young faces were now a part of the same circle they had been part of for years. Nevertheless,
they kept their grievances to themselves, knowing full well that Arthur was the one in charge.
"Well, what an eventful day this is!" Arthur eximed. "Thank you all for being so enthusiastic about
this big change."
All eyes in the room, as well as those watching via therge screens, were eagerly anticipating Arthur''s
next words. Everyone knew that, on that day, he would be announcing the people who would be taking
up important positions in thepany.
“I don''t want to spend too much time on what I need to say today,” Arthur said, motioning towards the
ten individuals seated in the executive chairs.
"I''ve been conducting interviews and researching the backgrounds of the prospective executive
members of the Brown Company for some time now, and I''m certain they are the most qualified for
these positions." Arthur said confidently.
He added, "Therefore, I am proud to announce that they will be filling some of the vacant positions
here. To answer any questions and to satisfy your curiosity, I have asked them to do a presentation
after this so that everyone can assess their capability and their ns to move thepany forward."
"Wow, it''s true," eximed someone. "These are the people our boss has chosen to fill the vacancy in
the executive chair."
"I''m familiar with several of these young talents, and even though they were in fairly low positions
before, I can say with confidence that those I know do have quite a lot of potential. Plus, some of them I
know are really hard working people."
Another one added, "Doesn''t this suggest that our boss really chooses someone based on their
potential and performance? If thepany can treat its employees fairly, I''m sure more and more
people will strive to work even harder, because they will be confident their efforts will be genuinely
appreciated."
Arthur then revealed thepany''s new line-up on the screen behind him, much to everyone''s
surprise. He had ced the ten new people almost entirely in the most significant positions within the
This caused some of the veteran executive members to be outraged at the decision, feeling as though
Arthur had disregarded their experience and instead granted important roles to those with no relevant
experience.
"Sir," someone then raised his hand.
"Yes, please," Arthur granted him permission to speak.
"Sir, if I may be so bold, those new employees may be intelligent, but theyck experience in this area.
Are you certain that entrusting them with such important roles in thepany is a good idea? Despite
whatever intelligence they may possess, it is essential to have the necessary experience to do the job
properly. I believe you should reconsider your decision." the man said.
Arthur nodded in response to theint presented by the five veteran executive members. Despite
their objection to his decision, he still held them in high regard as they were stillmitted to working

hard for thepany.
"Alright," Arthur replied, demonstrating his willingness to listen. "I''m grateful for any opinions and
voices of its employees. I can assure you that all of my decisions were made with careful
consideration."
Arthur then disyed additional data on the screen behind him. “The people I selected have some
leadership experience, albeit not extensive, and have demonstrated their capabilities while working
here,” he continued, “I''m confident that the opportunity I gave them was not a mere bluff.”
The atmosphere in the room was thick with anticipation. Everyone knew that their position within the
work. So when Arthur stood up to speak, everyone leaned closer.
"And, with this announcement, I want to emphasize that I will be periodically evaluating the
performance of all employees. I will make sure to give proper credit to those who work hard and
diligently," he said before returning to his seat.
"Now, let''s hear presentations from the ten people I have selected for their new positions."
After that, one by one, the ten people presented their ns to thepany, disying confidence and
Each of them had demonstrated a knack for excellent research and their work performance was
beyond reproach.
The employees who saw the presentation shook their heads in disbelief, as if they had been taken
aback by the surprising revtion.
"They really are the best people thispany could find," one of them said with admiration. "I''m proud
that people like them are finally getting the recognition they deserve."
"That''s right," the other agreed. "Our boss is really very wise in giving opportunities to those who were
originally only tools for their superiors. They deserve to lead thispany."
"I''m also going to work even harder," the other replied. "I want to reach a higher level than this. I''m
increasingly optimistic that thispany can be even better than it is now."
"Long live the Brown Company! Long live our new CEO!", they both said in unison.
Once everyone hadpleted their presentations, Arthur rose to his feet.
“Well done, everyone,” he said with a confident yet friendly demeanor. “I''m sure you all put a lot of effort
into your presentations, and I truly appreciate it.”
"I want to open up opportunities for anyone who still has doubts about the ten people I have selected,"
Arthur said. He continued, "I am also open to hearing anyints that anyone outside of this room
may have."
The veteran executives in the room could no longer express any grievances, as Arthur''s ten people
had demonstrated their expertise and proficiency in a very convincing manner.
After a few minutes, there were no more objections, and everyone was in agreement with the decision
that Arthur had made. Standing up, Arthur gave a warm smile to the people in the room and said, "I
believe we can do even better. I know that thispany has an amazing future ahead of us, and I am
confident that together, we can make that dream a reality."
The group apuded in response to Arthur''s inspiring words, radiating optimism and enthusiasm for
the future of thepany.
Arthur added one finalment before concluding the meeting, "We are on the brink of aplishing
something thispany has never done before."
Arthur had managed to clean up the trash from thepany, and now he had hand-picked the people
he thought were best suited to make thepany even better. With just a few more weeks of
overseeing the running of thepany, he would be free to focus on bigger things.
"I''m almost there," he said to himself.
[You have made a very big move for the Brown Company, Host.]
[Many people have been inspired to do greater things in their life because of it, and you have given
them hope that goodness can still be fought for by anyone.]
[For this big thing, you will get 100 VIP points.]
[System Comment: You have umted too many VIP Points, Host. You need an even bigger
challenge to use all of that?]
"Are you sure I only deserve 100 VIP points from this great thing I did, system?" Arthur asked,
furrowing his brows in confusion.
[You have to try to restrain yourself, Host.]
[Besides, you have to be creative because for the same things you do you might get fewer VIP points
in the future.]
"Thanks then," he said, "but please don''t mention another big challenge or anything simr. Don''t you
know I want to enjoy my life in peace?"
[Sure, Host. Therefore, you must do more great things, because you certainly want to continue to
achieve something higher in your life, right?]
