ANDREAS : THE HIDDEN MILLIONAIRE’S SON-IN-LAW

-8-

The corner of Mondy’s lips twitched, he even immediately took a sip of the mineral water in front of him. That night was enough to make everyone there have different feelings.

Until finally, the discussion began to divert to discussing the business problems they were currently running.

“Reportedly there are several companies that are currently being targeted by the Meiden Group, you know that the Meiden Group is a company that provides investment to other small companies. If I’m not mistaken, the Bowie Group is one of the companies that always receives continuous investment from the Meiden Group, right?” asked one of Mr. Bowie’s brothers.

Mr. Bowie, who felt very confident, took a sip of the wine on the table, then smiled perfectly. He seemed proud of the various achievements he had achieved so far.

“Of course, the Bowie family always had good luck whenever business matters were discussed. After all, the main director of Meiden Group and I are very close friends. So you can be sure that the Bowie Group will never experience bankruptcy and lack of money. The Bowie Group will remain a company that will prosper forever.” Mr. Bowie answered confidently.

“But when Meiden Group made a sudden withdrawal of investment, weren’t you afraid that Meiden Group would withdraw investment in your company?”

“That can’t possibly happen.”

And not long after that, a telephone rang. Mr. Bowie raised an eyebrow when he saw his company secretary on the phone. In fact, Mr. Bowie had warned him every weekend that he didn’t want to be bothered with any work.

“Damn it!” cursed Mr. Bowie, who was still answering the call. “What is it? Don’t you already know the rules if you can’t contact me on weekends?”

“This is an emergency, Mr. Bowie. I don’t know what to tell you. What is clear is that I have to immediately tell you about this big problem.”

“What is the problem? Hasn’t the Bowie Group always been in good condition?”

“Meiden Group has withdrawn all investment for our company, Mr. Bowie.”

Mr. Bowie immediately dropped his cellphone, he was immediately pressing his chest. It didn’t take long for Mr. Bowie to immediately become unconscious. Seeing this, Mondy immediately took over his father’s cellphone, and Mondy was shocked to hear all the bad news conveyed by his father’s secretary.

“Come on, take Dad to the hospital!” asked Ineke in panic. Mrs. Bowie was even crying uncontrollably.

“No, I don’t need to go to the hospital.” Mr. Bowie, who finally came to his senses, refused the invitation.

“But, Dad. You need to be taken to the hospital.”

“Didn’t I say it wasn’t necessary?!” snapped Mr. Bowie.

Everyone there was shocked beyond belief. How could it not be, of course this made them curious.

“What I need now is money, what I need now are investors. Because Meiden Group has completely withdrawn its investment in my company.”

Suddenly this shocked everyone, Mr. Bowie’s self-confidence was immediately eroded.

“So, the Bowie Group has experienced sudden bankruptcy?” Macrus muttered.

Andreas and Cindy, who had been hearing this, were just silent, neither of them knew what to say. The pity of the two of them would of course make Mr. Bowie even more annoyed, until finally Andreas had a pretty good idea.

“How about I help you a little, Dad. I think I have a way out of your problem.”

“What? Do you want to give me as much money as invested from Meiden Group? Stop talking if you are just a trash collector!” scolded Mr. Bowie.

“I have a friend who has a lot of money, and it is my friend who has been helping me. If you want, I can help you tell my friend so he can become your new investor. I think this is quite fun, don’t you think?”

Mr. Bowie, who heard this, fell silent, he didn’t necessarily believe Andreas’ words.

“Do you think a trash collector like you has a rich businessman acquaintance who has a lot of money?”

“Why doesn’t Uncle still believe it? Isn’t the painting that Andreas gave you, and this luxurious house proof that Andreas might have rich friends? Because as a scavenger it’s almost impossible to do all of that, isn’t it?”

Macrus’ words seemed to make sense, Mr. Bowie fell silent again and pondered what Macrus had said.

“Okay, if you can persuade your friend to become an investor in the Bowie Group then you’re great.”

“Great? I don’t think that praise would be enough to repay all the things I’ve done for your company.”

“So what do you want, Andreas?”

“I want Cindy to become the main director of the Bowie Group. How about that?”

Everyone was again stunned by Andreas’ words, the most unreasonable offer the world had ever seen.

“Are you crazy? How can I entrust the company I started from zero to Cindy? Cindy is just my adopted daughter, she has absolutely no right to my company, let alone being the main director of my company! Cindy had little education, and she didn’t know about business. Don’t be crazy, Andreas!”

“Low-educated or not, shouldn’t that be your responsibility, Dad? You are Cindy’s father, but how do you differentiate Cindy’s education from your other two children just because Cindy is just an adopted child? It’s unfair.”

“You ….”

“So, it all depends on you, Dad. I won’t force you at all. If Dad needs my help, then I will help you get investors and will invest in your company whatever amount you want as long as Cindy becomes the main director of your company. However, if you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you either.”

“Don’t play games with me, Andreas! Just so you know you are just a trash collector! How can a trash collector dare to boss me around? I’m the businessman here, I’m a rich man and a company owner! I will get my own investors without any interference from trash humans like you!”

Andreas responded by smiling, he nodded his head perfectly. In fact, he was not affected at all by Mr. Bowie’s words and anger.

“Let’s go home, why are we lingering here? Being in the house of two people who have just tasted wealth that it made them forget of who they were!”

“But, Dad—”

“Let’s go home!”

“What about that investor matter?” asked Mondy who was worried that his company would be destroyed.

“I will look for my own investors.”

Andreas then responded firmly to Mr. Bowie’s words. “Please look for the investor you want until you find them, Dad. I’ll give you two days, if you come to me later than that, I hope Dad won’t hesitate to kiss my feet.”
