《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 41: Voting
Advertisement
Luan took his green Lamborghini Urus and went to the company headquarters with his mother, sister, Ingrid, and Cristina.
"Luan, I already made an emergency meeting. Know that today I will only be announcing you as CEO of Dimas Corporation. Tomorrow is Sunday, so you will only start working as CEO on Monday. At that time, take time to study the projects that were being contracted and the new proposals that were launched. But before accepting any proposal, talk to me. I know I said I would trust you, but this is the first time that you will be dealing with something like this. You don't need to be vain by wanting to do everything yourself. Know that I will always be at your side for any questions you have," said Luan's mother, who sat next to him in the front seat of the car.
"Yes, I fully understand your concern, mother. I will not act hastily. Each and every proposal I'll make, I will consult with you," Luan said seriously, still looking at the road.
"Good." Maira seemed satisfied with his response and was silent.
"But, Luan," Catharina asked suddenly, "When did you study this subject?"
This was a doubt that even Maira had, but something told her that it was related to the past life that Luan said he had lived.
"In those days that I spent almost 1 month away, and also in my past life," Luan said, "In my past life, I was once Emperor. Although not entirely the same, the role of an Emperor is similar to that of a CEO. Of course, I will still count on my mother's help, but seeing as she will be busy these days, I want to help as much as possible."
"Past life... This is something hard to believe exists, but there is no way I can refute it, since if not, everything you did and are doing now would not make sense." Maira sighed. She was still having a little trouble believing it completely.

"I understand, and I suppose I would also have a hard time believing it if it hadn't happened to me," Luan said. "So I just ask you to trust me and observe everything I say and do, and then, in time, I will prove that everything I said is true."
"Okay." After that, Maira said nothing more until she arrived at the company's headquarters building.
As they were riding in a 3 million reais car, it drew a lot of attention, but seeing the entrance to the Dimas Corporation building, people thought it was normal to see such a vehicle here since many tycoons worked there.
At the reception, the secretary saw Maira and said respectfully to her boss, "Good morning, President Maira."
"Good Morning," Maira said with a thin smile and brought Luan and the girls to the elevator.
Before the elevator operator, who was a woman wearing a black suit over a white dress shirt, could asked which floor, Maira said, "Fortieth floor."
*
Arriving on the fortieth floor, Maira guided them to her room and said: "Luan and I are going to the meeting room for now. Wait here until we get back."
"Okay." The three girls nodded obediently.
Maira adjusted the tie on Luan's gray blazer and said, "Come on."
"Yes." Luan followed her into the meeting room.
When Maira entered, everyone stood up and said in unison, with great admiration, "President!"
"Okay, you can sit down." Maira gestured with her hand and went to the chair at the far end of the table.
Everyone inside the room looked at Luan in a strange way, without understanding why he was here and why they had been summoned to an emergency meeting. Was it related to the heir of Dimas Corp? They couldn't help wondering why Luan was also here.

"President Maira, this is..." One of the shareholders was confused by the emergency meeting she had called and even more when he saw Luan entering with her. He looked at Luan while suggesting that she explain why he is also in the meeting room.
"Okay, I will be brief. I made this emergency meeting because I will be leaving my son temporarily as CEO of Dimas Corporation." Maira went straight to the point which ended up dumbfounding everyone who had been summoned.
After all, Luan was just an 18-year-old young adult who hadn't even gone to college yet, and still, this woman wanted him to become the CEO? And not CEO of any company, but of Dimas Corporation! It was hard to believe. They started to think she must have gone crazy...
"This cannot happen!" The second-largest shareholder hit the table in protest. Although he respected Maira, he refused to accept that her son, who barely emerged from the frauds would take over as CEO of the company's headquarters. If it were any other company affiliated with the headquarters, he would agree... But, this was too much!
Maira looked at Ricardo, who was the man who spoke before, then she looked at everyone inside the room and said, "Okay, let's keep wasting time; let's go back. Whoever is in favor of my son staying as CEO, raise your hand."
"I approve!"
"I approve..."
There were 35 people inside the room, 20 of them raised their hands. Ten were neutral, only 5 were against. This proved how solid Maira's base was within the company. After all, if Luan were to mess something up, they might as well blame Maira later and also not stay on Luan's bad side if he could end up doing something productive. In addition, Luan was Heir to Dimas Corporation. Sooner or later he would run the company and then...
"Something more?" Maira looked at Ricardo. She did not try to judge him for acting like this. After all, she understood where he was coming from. "If not, consider this meeting closed. Monday my son, Luan Dimas, will officially take over as CEO."
"Okay..." Ricardo had to swallow his frustration. Even if he wanted to go against it, what could he do? If he continued to hit the same key, it would just give the same result, and he could end up on Luan's bad side.
"I will be in your care," Luan said respectfully. Although he would be the boss, he didn't want to appear disrespectful and pampered. In addition, he would end up working with these people, so it was good to make a good impression. Of course, if even after he showed results, if any of them tried to go against him... That was a totally different matter.
After Maira and Luan left, many of the shareholders remained in the meeting room, unwilling to leave. They just hoped that with Luan's arrival, it wouldn't harm the company.
"Did it end that quickly?" Catharina thought they would have to wait at least 2 hours. She did not expect her mother and brother to return in less than 30 minutes.
"Yes, I didn't have much to say," Maria replied nonchalantly. That part was the easy bit, but she knew if Luan was not able to show results (even worse, if there was a drop in the shares of the companies) this could become such a problem that even she would not be able to let him continue as CEO.

Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?

The Rowan Fox, Tail 1: The Missing Children
Deep in the Maple Woods sits a mountain of old. Humans have claimed it and today a city called Redlog covers it from peak to foot. Meet Josei, one of many medicine makers living in the city of red roofs. Hers is the start of many tales, home to a very special fox. Like foxes often do, this one finds himself plenty of trouble. (Thought I would be gone forever did you? I'm back again! This time with a book that actually has an ending. I know because I've written it. I will be editing each chapter then releasing it here as they're done, probably once or twice a week. It's a shorter tale than what I've written before but that was the goal from the start. I really need to learn how to finish a story so this was a big accomplishment for me. I'll be writing The Rowan Fox in several parts instead, short but hopefully sweet.) (This story is a combination of some of my favorite things: folktales, foxes, ancient forests, and feel good slice of life. I hope you like it!)
