Chapter 112 112: Ma Goes To Work.
Leo woke up and looked at the surroundings only to be overcome by a feeling that it was all a dream. He pinched his thigh and only when he sensed pain did he calm down. After that night when he lost his ability to move, he never imagined that he would be able to reside in his house.
He stood up from the bed, freshened up, and then he got dressed in his workout attire. As he came out of the room, in the corridor, he spotted Lily was doing her warm up routine. He asked, "Lily, baby, how do you always wake up before Baba?"
The little girl smiled and replied, "Hehehe, Lily has set her alarm clock ten minutes behind. I am so smart."
Leo was surprised and then he frolicked with the little goblin before Snow also came out of the room. She asked, "If you two have finished, then shall we go?"
They headed out for their morning run. The security detail has been upgraded. Two men guarding the terrace entrance, one guard for each floor. The earlier twelve men squad has been multiplied by two, so that they could all work in shifts and not have much exhaustion.
Pristine Security was the one that paid for them directly so it was not an issue. The General Manager, Ellysa Carter was very business savvy and they have made many investments. If Leo was look in the depth of the wealth flowing on the side of Pinnacle Security, he might drown in it.
The family of three ran around the mansion, before they headed out and ran along the periphery of the building. Leo had Lily riding his shoulders, although she had improved, she still needed to work a lot, and while Leo was supportive, he didn't want her to harm her body as she was still growing.
While running around the mansion, Leo scanned the surroundings and found that the prestigious families were still there. In the past his neighbors didn't have much of a difference with his parents, but it was not a close bond as well, after all, just because you didn't slap the smiling face, it didn't mean you like to smile.
The trio returned home, and cleaned up before they gathered in the kitchen. Snow wanted to hire a chef, but Leo shook his head and said, "I will cook, what do you need the chef for?"
However, the maids for cleaning were indispensable. They had five maids in the house, each one responsible for one area, and they were all recommended by Pinnacle Securities as they were trained in the professional school dedicated to this subject and they had high salaries, also generated and provided by the company.
The family dined, and then they got in one car to head to their destinations with a SUV following them. They dropped Lily to the school, and then headed to the office of Butterfly Technologies.
In the past week, Leo had split the space of his office in half, and a new office was constructed. This was the place where Snow would work from, for the time being. The company has also hired a lot of people for her department. The staff was really looking forward to meeting with Snow, after all, they wanted to see who was the wife of their handsome boss, and the mother of the little princess.
Lily had a wider fan base then Leo, just so you know.
Leo drove the car to the office gates and then he got down the car, before moving to the side, and pulled the door for Snow. The young lady stepped down the vehicle dressed in a black and white formal suit, and her golden hair fell on her shoulder. She had a fair complexion and her features were refined. The strengthening potion made her skin and body revitalize and she looked better than ever before.
She smiled at Leo and said, "You do know that you are the boss here, why did you pull the door for me?"
Leo chuckled and replied, "You are the boss for me."
The couple held hands and entered the building. The staff who came across them greeted them in the lobby, before they took the elevator and headed to the top floor directly. As Snow entered her office and placed her bag on the table, she said, "I will go down and introduce myself to the finance department."
Leo nodded and went to his own office and handled his own things. He wasn't playing a hands off shopkeeper. In the afternoon, he had to attend the event for the launch of the laptop from the company. He had to go through the key points of the speech and highlight the product.
…
Snow was acquainted with Percie Hibiscal, who introduced her to Harvey Haze. A middle-aged man who was an alumnus from a reputed university in the Stag Nation, and very well versed in finance and capital flow management.
Snow greeted him and asked him to take a look at the finance department personnel. Harvey agreed and then led her to the seventh floor where the finance bullpen was set up, and in the elevator he said, "We have a small team that is currently managing the company finance department, while the rest of the people have been assigned to monitor the stock market changes, and everytime we find something worth trying, we invest a small sum of money in there. Apart from that we have some people who are screening the recently launched start-ups to see if we can acquire any."
Snow nodded and asked, "How many such start-ups have been acquired?"
Harvey shook his head and said, "We haven't acquired any at the moment. They all are young and wish to make a dent in the world on their own."
Snow smiled faintly and said, "I will look into it."
She had been regularly training herself these days, and managed to grasp the skills she had back in college, however, she knew that life was different than what it was inside the classroom.
She looked at the people working in their cubicles, and some were discussing things. Harvey took the initiative and said, "Everyone, listen here."
The people raised their heads and Harvey said, "This is President Snow Cardinal. She will be handling the Finance Department from now on."
The people were not surprised, they all knew that the President's wife was coming to the company to handle the capital. They all stood up and said, "Greetings, President Snow."
Snow nodded to them all with a faint smile on her face and she said, "Thank you everyone. I am glad to be here. Although I am the director of the finance department, I am not here to disturb your work. The company finance department will follow the previous arrangement and if needed, you can consult with me."
The people from the company finance flow division nodded and Harvey also nodded, he looked a bit gratified after all, he was handling this job for sometime and put in a lot of effort as well.
Snow continued, "The Stock Market investment team, I would like to have a meeting with all the people ten minutes later. Please prepare a rough list of the places we have invested in, and the average profit and loss from these investments.
Lastly, the Acquisition team, I would like to have a meeting with you guys as well, and I want a similar list, about the potential businesses and their future scope of growth as per your speculation. I will give you twenty minutes to prepare. I hope we all can work together to make a better future for ourselves."
She didn't say any polite stuff like, 'I'll be in your care' etc. Damn she was the President's wife, and these people were in her care. After delivering her word, she moved to the conference room directly with Harvey Haze beside her.
Ten minutes later, the Stock market team came in. They greeted Snow and passed on the list. Snow looked at the list for a few minutes before she said, "You should all focus on investing in commodities, and metals. Stay alert about the stir in Stag Nation market. When the prices fall, buy as much of the top ten listings in their market as you can. Got it?"
The people nodded and Snow nodded as she sent them out before the Acquisition team came into the room. Snow looked at the lists and said, "Arrange a meeting with the founders of the companies that are involved in tech. Also, speculate the market size and returns of the food and beverage related companies, and prepare firm reports on how much money they would consume if we want to scale them."
The people nodded and Snow kept on talking about stuff, and finally she said to Harvey, "I understand that the land procurement deal for the Tech Park is under your joint supervision?"
Harvey nodded and said, "Yes, we have filed a tender, and the process is underway."
Snow nodded and said, "Well, that is good. I will be in my office, if you have anything that you want to go through, don't hesitate."
After she left, Harvey mumbled, "She is like the sword held by the King."
