TIMESKIP!
Couple days later, I could already feel myself growing grey hair after just MEETING the board members that stayed behind. Brighthammer used to have a fuck ton of investors, making this giant table and having a big board room right below Jayce's office. Now however... we only have 10.
These guys and gals are absolute units, the most flexible, the most diehard supporters. 5 of them, AKA half, are way back from the Medarda clan. The Medarda family were people that ran the government for a long time, and hell some of their clan members still do exist in government but are more... civilized.
These guys are just like them, except they got out of it just when the Medarda was getting into government. These are the wealthy investors, stockbrokers, business owners, lottery winners that stopped playing gangster and started playing business, a much smarter idea.
Arguably just as dirty as Viktor, but at least they do shit right. The other ones are trust fund kids or the two in the corner that are the oldest people I think I've ever seen, just wanting to see an industry actually make a difference with their handouts.
We don't need these donors by any means, but they do help a lot by keeping us comfortable.
And now, since I'm the new COO, I have to give a speech on how their money is going to benefit our company moving forward, with all that's been happening. After we all watch the news on the giant TV in here, of course.
Reporter: Viktor is being tried for several accounts of corporate espionage, the attempted murder CEO Jayce Talis, corporate theft, embezzlement, breach of contract, and finally, breach of fiduciary duty. Needless to say... Viktor against the legal team of Brighthammer, will lead to a very, one-sided outcome.
Jayce shuts the TV off and gives me a chance to speak amongst the 10 investors.
Y/N: So, well said Janna, with that being said, what is next for Brighthammer? With our waters running clean once again and the legal mishmash about to be handled swiftly, what do we have now? What's left? What are we going to use your stakes for now? I'll tell you what. You guys stayed behind for one word and one word alone.
???: Loyalty?
Y/N: That would've been my next word, but no, be honest, it's curiosity.
Some of them nod their head, and then put their pens down to listen up. I march to the front of the room.
Y/N: Now, sure, I'm not the most stable person in the room, and sure I may not be ready to take the mantle of COO, but working in sales for a couple years now has taught me that there's still new lengths that Brighthammer can go towards. You think we need to make weapons to keep this tower up high? No!
I take a seat in one of the chairs, Jayce does the same thing, not saying a word and giving me the floor.
Y/N: Your donations will go towards manufacturing and company wellness. I could even have Orianna, head of R&D to talk all about it. There are some industries this company has yet to touch, that being automotive, shipping, and medical. I say our nations and our allies are well-taken care of, why not take care of what we got?
???: You can look into education-
Y/N: And the rest of the things will run themselves! I like where this person's head is at, what's your name?
I scootch over and shake one of the old geezer's hands. He's got dark skin, beady eyes, a beautiful head of grey hair though, with a long grey beard too. Small, but I can tell he wasn't built for pickpocketing I can tell you that.
Ornn: Ornn. I come from Freljord, where I have seen civilizations destroy each other simply because they lack enlightenment.
Y/N: Ornn... so you have seen firsthand just how much these more internal affairs can rebuild civilization around it.
