Meeting You For the First Time ~ Part 1 (Chapter 1)

Jim knocks on the door. Knock Knock "anyone there?"

"I am here for the T-project."

A man greets Jim, "welcome!"

"May I see your invitation card?"

"Oops... I lost the invitation card I can't find it."

"Sorry, Sir if you don't have the invitation card I cannot let you in."

"What? Why? I am here for the T-project this is the file."

"Sorry Sir, I am in no position to read the file contents."

"Huh? Can you ask a higher position person to come here and see this?"

"Sorry, currently no one is free as there was an urgent meeting."

"Huh? What's now, how am I going back? I am supposed to be here for T-project, I cannot leave just like this. It's just an invitation card that's lost why can't you let me in?"

The commotion takes 30 mins have passed.

Zeus walks in, everyone greets him, and he greeted back with a cold face... 

Zeus this guy says he needs to come in but he doesn't have the invitation card. No invitation cannot come in that's the rule. 

Jim grabs Zeus' arm "I am here for the T-project, I need to go in."

Zeus sees Jim grab his arm...

"Your name is Jim?"

"Please let me in, I just need 3 mins for you to hear me let me explain to you here."

A deep silence.

"I come for discussion of T-project which will benefit. We suppose to be in terms of talking and negotiating. negotiating will lay $3,000,000 for 3 years and the contract can extend to 10 years if your company sees the improvement that will benefit."

Zeus hears this and he says "let go of my arm and follow me."

Zeus turns his head to his staff "you may do your job, I will bring this guy in myself."

The staff nodded. 

Zeus walks through the walkway everyone greets him, he nodded back with a cold face. 

Jim thinks in his mind who is this man his name is Zeus but why is he so cold?

Zeus turns to Jim. "By the way, what's your name?"

"Oh, I haven't, introduce myself I am Jim from I-Tech."

"I am Zeus."

Zeus opens the room door and switches on the lights. "Have a seat." 

Jim looks around the room it's a nice room with some plants and there is a wall decal hanging around.  

As Jim sees the table title Assistant Managing Director but it's empty chairman no one sitting. Zeus walks to the chair and sits.

Jim opens the door. Jim thinks he is so young as an Assistant Managing Director? No wait, this means he is the son of this company. 

Mr. Zeus "this is the file you can read them."

Zeus looks at Jim, "aren't you here for a discussion?"

Zeus says "I bring you in not for me to read this file, if I want me to read the file then I won't need to bring you in.

Zeus folds his arm and looks at Jim.

Jim says under his breath if I know I shouldn't have come here with so many laws. (Sounds so familiar) 

Zeus says "you can continue to explain more you mentioned: The terms will lay $3,000,000 for 3 years and the contract can extend to 10 years. What if our company doesn't see any improvements or results can we break the contract halfway?"

"For breaking the contract my Uncle says it needs to be at least more than 1 year to deem fit the contract."

Zeus says, "Uncle?? Who is this Uncle?"

Jim says "my Uncle is the CEO of I-Tech."

Zeus is shocked he mentioned "Uncle?"

Zeus read the file, flipping the pages. Look at Jim again and thinks this isn't a joke or something. But if he needs to co-operating with us I should give some pressure on it, cannot let it be easy.

Jim says "my Uncle asks me to stay in your company to work with you as we can work together for a better minestrone."

Zeus says "are you sure you want to work with me as I am not an easy-going person to work with. Regarding the Terms and Contract, I need to ask my Father about this matter, I can't decide this."

Jim sighed; in his mind, I talk to you half a day and you tell me you can't decide and need to ask your father about this matter. Jim says "sure no problem, since it's a big decision you can't make this easily, of course, you have to ask your Father for a decision."

Zeus hears this sounds quite provoking sentence made by Jim.

Although there aren't any bad intentions Jim is just too straightforward.

Zeus says "I will call you."

Jim gives his name card to him and says "remember to call me."

Zeus keeps quiet. 

Jim leaves Zeus' company and thinks why is there such a cold man with such an attitude.

Zeus gives a call to his older brother and father telling them about Jim and that they had a meeting in the night at home while having dinner.

Zeus' father says "this is a good deal and asks Zeus to be in charge of the guy name Jim".

Zeus' father says "give Jim a position as an Assistant to Blue."

Zeus is surprised but he cannot say anything else... As I thought Father won't reject this fellow deals.

Zeus' father says "let Jim work immediately tomorrow if he is available or else anytime when he is available."

Zeus' older brother sees Zeus as having that kind of expression and thinks I want to meet this Jim guy.

Zeus after their dinner holds Jim's name card and calls him. 

"Hello, may I speak to Jim?"

Jim answers "Yes I am."

Zeus says "I am Zeus this afternoon you came to my office."

Jim was so happy to hear this call because he was about to sleep. 

Zeus says "if you are available to work tomorrow come at 9 am or else let me know when you can come to work."

Jim says "I can come to work tomorrow."

Zeus says "come to the office at 9 am, you cannot be late."

Jim says "okay alright see you tomorrow morning."

The next day at 4 am, rings "sorry Jim I need some more days as I have something very important that last minute."

Zeus is in shock, he looks at the clock "Huh?" Zeus says "Who are you?"

Jim says "sorry it's me, Jim."

Zeus says "okay, let me know when you can come to work."

Zeus hears a loud BANG! He is shocked and the loudness causes him to be fully awake. "What's that loud noise? Hello? Jim? Are you okay?" 

"I am injured..."

"Huh? Where are you now?"

"I am outside the main road... "

"Where?"

"Des Mall outside the main road..."

Zeus says "wait for me there."
