John Raven, the son of Tronc Corporation's CEO Alan Raven, had been feeling miserable ever since he made the call to stop Alex's father's treatment. The guilt of knowing that his jealousy caused the death of someone's loved one weighed heavily on him, and he struggled to cope with his feelings. To ease his conscience, John turned to bullying Alex and using his wealth to make Alex feel miserable. This gave John a sense of satisfaction and allowed him to escape his guilt, but deep down he felt guilty and remorseful for what he had done.

One day, as he was walking down the street, he saw Alex walking into a restaurant. John saw this as an opportunity to flex his wealth and belittle Alex. He strutted towards the restaurant with a smirk on his face, eager to make Alex feel small. But when he tried to enter, he was stopped by the hostess who told him that the whole restaurant was reserved for a private event.

John was taken aback. He had never been turned away from a restaurant before and the embarrassment stung. He tried to argue with the hostess, but she remained firm and told him that the reservation had been made by the owner of the restaurant himself. John was left standing outside the restaurant, feeling humiliated and defeated.

As he walked away, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy towards Alex. He had always seen Alex as a poor little punching bag that was there relief his emotional stress. Now, it seemed like Alex was being treated like a VIP, while John was being turned away. This only added to John's misery and he felt even more determined to make Alex feel miserable. But as he walked away, he couldn't shake the feeling that perhaps he was going down a dangerous path and that he needed to reconsider his actions but he was not going to.

=======================================================================

Alex was informed about John trying to get in but Alex refused, He knew that he couldn't let John's actions go unchecked, but he also knew that he couldn't take on Tronc Corporation on his own. He needed to find a way to even the odds, and this was where business school came in.

With a determined look in his eyes, Alex made a decision. He would apply to business school, and use the education and skills he gained to take on Tronc Corporation and bring John to justice. He knew that it would be a long and difficult journey, but he was willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Alex finished his meal and stepped out into the busy street, ready to take on whatever lay ahead.

The next day, Alex was in his office at Portal Food Supplies, surrounded by piles of paperwork and a never-ending stream of emails. He had just finished his breakfast when Maxie, his trusted CEO's assistant, walked in, looking worried. "MR.Bell, I have something I need to talk to you about," she said.

"What is it, Maxie?" Alex asked, looking up from his computer screen.

"It's Ren," Maxie said, her voice filled with concern. "He's been struggling with all the deliveries we've been making lately. He's having a hard time coordinating with CyberEat, Dash Marts, and Tronc Corporation. I think he might be reaching his limit."

Alex sighed and leaned back in his chair. He had known that Ren was having a tough time, but he hadn't realized just how bad it had become. "Okay, I'll take care of it," he said, determination in his voice. "We need to make some changes to support Ren and make his job easier."

He thought for a moment, his mind racing with ideas. "First of all, we need to hire a HR team. They can help us find the right people for our company and make sure everyone is happy and motivated. Second, I think it's time to expand our finance team. They can help us manage our finances and make sure we're making the best decisions for the company. And finally, I think it's a good idea to hire a law firm. They can help us with any legal issues we might encounter in the future."

Maxie nodded, looking relieved. "I think that's a great plan," she said.

"Good," Alex said, a smile spreading across his face. "And there's one more thing I wanted to talk to you about."

"What's that?" Maxie asked.

"I've decided to go to college starting next summer," Alex said. "And when the time comes, I want to promote you to CEO. You've been with me from the start, and I know you have the drive and determination to take this company to new heights."

Maxie's eyes widened in shock. "Really? Are you sure?" she asked, her voice filled with excitement.

"Of course I'm sure," Alex said, grinning. "You've been a valuable member of the team, and I know you're more than capable of leading Portal Food Supplies to success."

Maxie smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you, Alex. I won't let you down," she said, giving him a hug.

And with that, Alex and Maxie set about making the changes that would take Portal Food Supplies to the higher levels. Alex was confident in his decisions, and he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Alan sat at his desk, staring intently at the report his secretary had just handed him. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he read the details. The restaurant was rented on PFS's companies name, How could a young boy who had just lost his father, and had been expelled from school, have any connection to a company like Portal Food Supplies? He leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. He had never paid much attention to the company before, it was just a small bug that somehow was able to produce rare goods but now he was intrigued. He made a note to himself to look into the matter further.
