Chapter 155: Startup Planning (2)
"Erm, no need right away, we can think of a name for our company before next week." Elysia touched the hands of the two girls who were looking for a suitable name in their minds. There was no need to rush either.
"Okay, I"ll write it down before the day after tomorrow or tomorrow! We"ll find a proper name." Feeling the need for time to choose an exquisite name, Evelyn nodded in agreement.
"Um, okay." Ella also agreed, but she immediately asked what happened to be on her mind.
"Ely, it looks like you have a comprehensive business insight and knowledge. From the writing, you wrote... The CEO is the highest position in a company whose job is to lead the entire company. How about, if you become the CEO?" Ella put the paper she was reading earlier in front of Elysia and Evelyn.
"That"s a good idea! I won"t rest easy if the person in the highest position in our company is dubious. Ely, will you, please?" Evelyn caught a glimpse of the paper and immediately knew what Ella meant.
"Alright, leave it to me. Until we find a better and more worthy person, I"ll be responsible for it. But, Eve, Ella, the two of you have to help me, sure? Don"t just throw the job at me, okay? We also need a lot of intellectual manpower." Ely puffed out her chest, confidently. She was sure she could do it with ease because of her experience.
"Okay." Ella smiled gently. She would actually help out, even without being asked.
"That"s for sure, Ely... CEO, huh? All I know in the top leadership in a company is the director, um, the CEO is the Executive Director?" Evelyn nodded without hesitation. She smiled, even though she didn"t understand much of her friend"s previous explanation.
"Ahh, that"s a little different, Eve. All I know is the Executive Director is for non-profit ent.i.ties, the CEO is for-profit ent.i.ties and other big things. Since we"re just starting out, we don"t need as many executives as I write in this structure." Kindly, Elysia added new insight to the clueless girl.
"Oh! I understand, yes. That means the fate of the company is in your hands, and we will be on duty to help you, um, as your a.s.sistants?" Evelyn understood immediately.
Elysia was pensive for a moment, remembering the first and last time she had someone who could be called her a.s.sistant. It was cruel and painful, to the point that she didn"t dare appoint an a.s.sistant for herself in her new company.
Even though it was partly her fault for trusting her a.s.sistant too much, it was the woman who had made Ali trust others even for a moment.
However, in the company"s development effort from scratch that could be called the third, she believed these two girls would not betray her. It would be somewhat impossible for the owners and co-founders who want to become a.s.sistants to betray the founder and CEO... Not when these two girls came from overly wealthy families.
"En, we can call it an Executive a.s.sistant, or EA. You will be there for all company activities with me, don"t nag if your work will pile up, no lazy girl." For some reason, Elysia felt she managed to break into something that made her so relieved.
"Humph! Who"s the lazy girl? I"m diligent and helpful." Evelyn snorted cutely, feeling she was never lazy.
"He-he, we have an important role in the company, I can"t wait until next week. Hmm, looks like I need to go to economy cla.s.s too and learn a lot from Ely." Ella chuckled as she imagined she and her friends managed to build a continental-cla.s.s company, much like her grandfather"s accomplishments.
"Hm! It"s now past eight... Time flies so fast." Ella was a little surprised when she looked at the clock on the wall. An hour had pa.s.sed, even though it only felt like a few minutes.
"Ah, that"s right... We haven"t washed the cutlery and tidied up the kitchen. We better do this quickly, I have a bedtime fairy tale." Evelyn immediately got up from her chair and immediately brought the cutlery that was still piled on the table.
"Un, I can sing you a few lullabies~" Ella hummed melodiously. She immediately followed Evelyn into the kitchen.
Elysia simply tidied up the paper on the table and put it in her s.p.a.ce Bag, then followed two girls who were tidying the kitchen.
Their activities progressed rapidly once again. They chatted casually and warmly while finishing kitchen affairs.
After taking a warm bath in their respective bathrooms, the three girls came to Ella"s room, fully dressed in their pajamas as if they were ready to sleep together.
"Um, Ella, can you please tell us a list of tomorrow"s events for the Blessing Day?" Elysia sat on the soft sofa, right beside Vanessa.
"Hm? Just like the Blessing Day in any Holy Church, only the scale is bigger. Starting from the opening prayer, praise to the G.o.ddess of Blessing, sermons, offerings, posting a list of announcements on the cathedral bulletin board, intercession, then blessings. Um... What else, hmm..." Ella sat on the bed, directly opposite Elysia. She tried to remember, worried that she might miss something.
"Ella, you missed something. In every activity you mentioned earlier, it was always filled for a moment with special prayers for goodness. Then, Blessing Day was closed with a charity event. One of them is, the Priests will help people in need for free. That is the most awaited event by most of the congregation, em, the most awaited besides the blessing ceremony." Evelyn completed the explanation from the girl who was trying to remember something.
"Ah! Yes, that. We only have roles from early morning until noon. Ely, Eve, you will come with me as Priest, okay?" Ella clapped her hands with delight.
"Eh? But we are still Deacon, right?" Elysia asked and looked at Evelyn, but the latter did the same to her. They questioned Ella about that.
Seeing the two junior girls" clueless expressions, Ella smiled as if she already knew about this. "It doesn"t matter. The two of you can use Healing Magic. After all, coming as a Priest doesn"t mean you really have become a Priest."
Ella got up from her bed to retrieve two sets of Priest robes from one of her wardrobes. She came back and gave it to Elysia and Evelyn.
"Please wear it tomorrow, I give it to you, we will be on duty every weekend hehe..."
Elysia and Evelyn saw the white Priest robes with gold tr.i.m.m.i.n.gs on their hands. It could definitely be worn on their bodies regardless of their size since Priest robes were a bit loose.
"Um, so we"re going to be the Deacons helping a Priest on the Blessing Day every weekend as Priests?" Elysia asked to reconfirm.
"Yup." Ella nodded lightly. She seemed pleased with something.
"Woah, we become priests in advance, even if only for the weekend. Thank you for this Priest robe Ella." Evelyn embraced the robe as if it were a precious surprise gift.
"Un, my pleasure. However, please don"t wear it other than the weekend at the Cathedral, not until you have your own Priest license, okay?" Ella did not forget to give a reminder. She also served as a senior in charge of these two junior girls.
"Okay."
"All right!"
Elysia and Evelyn nodded in response, very much to Ella"s pleasure.
"Hum, it"s half-past nine. Let"s go to bed, tomorrow we have to get up early. I"ll sing you a few lullabies." Ella went to the other side of the big bed.
"Not before my bedtime fairy tales. I"ve been wanting to tell bedtime stories, but every time I sleep with Ely, I immediately fall asleep..." Evelyn touched her fingers together. She fell asleep too quickly at that time and always skipped what she wanted to do.
"That"s lovely, I want to hear bedtime stories apart from my mother when I was little." Ella sat and leaned on the headboard, and Sera, the bluefish like a dolphin, served as her cuddle doll.
"It"s beautiful and fun, I have a story that fits us. Ely, come here, you"re not planning to sleep on the sofa, are you?" Didn"t want to be outdone by Ella"s cuddle doll, Evelyn immediately took her cuddle doll from her s.p.a.ce Bag. Lila, the yellow fish with white lines like anemonefish.
However, afterward, she felt something was missing. After turning her head to the side, Elysia, her best friend, also her favorite cuddle doll, was still sitting on the sofa!
"Um, okay." After saying good night to Vanessa and stroking her fur one meow time, Elysia immediately got up from the sofa.
A bed that might accommodate five to six adults, she arrived there with a somewhat red-faced expression. Ella was already on the side, while Evelyn on the other side... But why did they let the middle of the bed empty on purpose?
