Chapter 10

Brak!

"Damn it, how did that new Professor know that I and my family were the ones who helped the president? She's not even afraid of that, she doesn't think it's anything valuable. Brazen, that woman is really brazen!" Jeff's sudden outburst of anger in the room left the few men in the room speechless.

No matter what else was said, the story of the Stennys family helping the president at that time had been spread everywhere because the Stennys family were among those who prided themselves on their service. Not being able to get acquainted with someone they would immediately reveal about their service, of course because of that everyone knew and the news became dense on its own without even needing to be talked about too much.

Those who had spread the word about it, why wouldn't they be happy, including Jeff who was currently one of the heads of the artificial intelligence research center and office because he had budgeted for it.

"The girl can't be left here for too long or it will destroy me. But unfortunately she was also asked by the President to work here through the government system and the envoy he gave her. What better way to get her squashed in a disrespectful way question mark I really don't like seeing her here." Jeff said making them look at each other.

"But we can't also do several ways because that will also involve us if they can find evidence. No matter how hard it is for us, Mr. Tuan shouldn't feel so scared because after all these projects are done he will never come to our office again. Let's say that everything is contracted out and she will only be employed for the next few years, why waste our efforts and minds trying to get her to leave? She'll still leave soon enough without us having to intervene on her behalf." One of his men said making Jeff take a deep breath.

"But I'd hate to see her dominate surviving those years. We have to find whatever we can to get her out of our office. We can do it by plagiarizing and stealing everything pregnant from what she has created and we replace her to make the same innovation in the future." Jeff said as he got up and that made them nod in understanding.

Staying where he was to think about what he could do, Jeff could clearly see that he really had to fight all over again to keep everyone in this office seeing him as someone worthy of respect. In the meantime, there was nothing left for him to gain. Staying here and leading all the Professors was a very good thing and was already a glory for him even for years to come.

"He's just like that, a bit displeased that there are people who keep up with him wherever he is. He feels that he is already capable and that no one else should interfere and take his place to do things. That's why we couldn't grow and incidentally we also felt that we didn't need too much ambition because doing the work here also covered our daily lives and we were able to save some money. So rather than us getting into trouble with him and getting fired by you, it's better if we just go along with it as long as we can." Professor Dom said making Berliana stare at him while eating her food.

"Do you feel that you deserve to be under someone much younger than you? Whose knowledge alone is not enough for that. You're supposed to be the leader and organize it, why is it upside down?"

"Actually it's not reversed, it can be said that everything has become our habit and we can't also be leaders because we don't have that kind of talent. After all, you know in the working world, sometimes the rich will hire someone who knows even less than the owner. For example, in a car company, the owner is not necessarily someone who is an expert in making cars but he hires people who can be used to make them.

"Because there are two or three types of people who can survive in this world and can build a business. First, he has enough and a lot of money to build a business so he can do it and hire people. Second, he has the skills and has enough experience so he can be a worker for people who need him. Thirdly, he has both and that's also a pretty big deal but there are still people who have it. While we can be said to be in the second part. We can work but we can't necessarily lead the people who work for us so we still live our lives and work according to what our superiors ask us to do."

It makes sense, Berliana understands all that. Because no matter what the future held, everything would still go as Professor Dom had explained. He already knew that what they got and had in this world was in accordance with their abilities, so there would be nothing they could do other than actually live it.

"I also have no intention of leading you guys, after all these projects and missions are completed I will also leave the office. I don't know when everything can really be used but certainly being here doesn't have to do years either. I'll leave and find another job or maybe just live off the money given by the royalties from the creation of the robots I'm currently working on. Don't worry, I won't create any trouble either but if she dares to bother me I will also make more calculations with her," Berliana said while taking a breath.

"Hmm, that's much better because living without the constraints of a contract is also something fun. With the abilities that Miss Berliana has, it certainly won't rule out other opportunities far more extraordinary than this. Now working on a project requested by the government and approved by the president, if everything goes well it will be easier and in the future it will also bring more important influences for self-branding so that it will be looked at by related companies."

They nodded and ate while talking since it was lunchtime. A while later they were already talking about the robot business and the preparations they would make to welcome the government who would see their presentation. There were still a few days but they were preparing from now on and they were doing that because the schedule and system Berliana had created was really serious.

She may look young but she's very disciplined about time and that's what makes her a successful person even if it does feel a little forced. But they knew that they were needed for this in the near future so they couldn't mess around.

"But if you want to make it in large quantities, it's also not something easy and of course it requires a very large cost and budget again. We've only been asked to make a few hundred pieces for a while, but if everything goes well in the future, of course the government will give a lot of difference to make these robots. It is likely that if this is successful Nona will also not be allowed by the government to leave but instead be contracted for life to take care of the robots and all kinds of things related to this system and technology.

"With that how will you let everything work again what you want? You won't be able to refuse the government and their requests, nor will you do anything to cause trouble to the government and cause disputes. I just want to give you some advice, it's possible to work in our country so if the government asks you to come and work here forever, it's not a bad thing. It's better to accept it because it's important for your business and your future."

Berliana smiled and nodded slowly. "The formula is already in place and I can't possibly repeat what I've already done. Maybe we'll just take care of the development and updates that can be done on the robot to keep up with the times. I'll probably just work part time and spend my time relaxing. I don't want to work too hard for this life that doesn't last forever, if I succeed then it will be easy for me to make sense of it all. I just need to enjoy the money I've made so far and save it up.

"I already have some investments and assets, so it's actually fine if I don't work anymore. I can still support myself by earning income from every property and asset I own. I have shares and investments in several companies and that is enough for me. There's no need for anything to be a problem because it's certainly something that I would have understood if things had gone well."

They looked at each other and nodded as they realized that Berliana was not someone who was overly ambitious. She knew what she liked and what she didn't like, all of which would make it easier for someone who intended to regain her freedom. Besides, she looked quite widowed and they were sure Berliana would be able to live a good life without interference from others.

"Hopefully life will get easier in the future even though some cities will be dominated by robots. Can only ask the rest of the humans living in this country to marry, then have offspring again to keep extending the original citizens. With all that it will be easier and this country will also not become a country or because the human residents are getting wiped out."

They looked at each other and nodded because it was true. They could hope for that because it was not too late now as there were still enough humans who would develop and give offspring to extend their country.

Their country was indeed a rich country but why should it stay at the bottom? The population and citizens have been greatly reduced over the last few years and it's enough to make their country unnoticeable except for its industrial system and workers.

"There are some countries that can't get citizens until it's completely desolate and causes everything to feel so bland. There are also some countries that have a much harder life. While there are countries that are so densely populated that their countries don't even fit. It's all really very strange and why is it so unbalanced? We've done marriages between different nationalities but because our citizens who have already fenced to get married are not so polite."

They could all feel what Professor Kim was saying. All of this seemed like a recession regarding loans and meetings would also be a problem. They could only regret the country that was quite large but underpopulated, their country. Since so many young people were getting married and saying child free, their offspring were completely gone.

"Once it's back to the room, there's no time to mess around because we have to take care of everything immediately. We can't abandon what we need because everything is really necessary. Back to the school house will be back. But it's still far away, sometimes I feel that the house is more beautiful even though its shape is not as beautiful as the place I went to."
