As Roland asked for everyone's suggestions, each one of them, excluding One, had a thoughtful expression on their face.
In the first place, none of them thought that the new owner would change the company's name the moment he set foot on the company. And him, asking them some suggestions for the new name was out of their imaginations as well.
Although Alfred felt his efforts, he still felt like Roland was taking all of this lightly. The name of a company should be well-thought by the owner or the founder and should not be something that can be suggested by just any member in the crowd. He thought that Roland might truly be thinking of this as a game just because he has a lot of money to spare. Nevertheless, as he didn't want to ruin this company, he still decided to think of some names to suggest.
The first one to try suggesting was Benjamin who was quite imaginative, "How about, Pearl Security Company?"
Roland nodded his head and said, "Nice name, but it would be inappropriate if we start doing business abroad in the future."
The others looked at each other, realizing the subtle hint that Roland had just dropped. Even Alfred, who was quite pessimistic about Roland's acquisition of the company, could feel his ambitions from those words alone. However, along with that was another batch of worries for him as well. Right now, Roland was already thinking of expanding abroad, and they still have a problem that they had not solved yet. He thought that Roland was quite optimistic and this attitude might really lead to the company's eventual demise in the future.
With that, all of them provided their own suggestions and Roland considered all of them carefully.
After some careful consideration, he finally decided on a name.
"How about, Divine Aegis Security?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLike his first words earlier, the name itself showed his high ambitions regarding the company's future.
Named after the legend of the almost impregnable shield wielded by the gods, he thought that this kind of conviction would lead to the security company being impregnable in reality as well.
Alfred suggested Divine Security Company earlier while Fred suggested Aegis, and Roland combined both names to make an even grander name along with their conviction.
The others nodded their heads, thinking that the name sounded cool and grand. The only problem was that others might think that the name sounds arrogant, and even Alfred himself thought the same after realizing Roland's ambition.
"Uhmm, Sir, allow me to be direct, but don't you think that you are getting ahead of yourself?"
Alfred, who could not take Roland, taking lightly of the company's problem anymore finally decided to speak up.
At this moment, all of the directors and the shareholders of the company have withdrawn after the previous scandal. With his 5% shares as well as the fact that he was the main manager, it could be said that only Alfred has the right authority and capacity to question Roland's decisions for now.
Of course, Roland still has the final say regarding the matters as he has most of the shares and if Alfred was truly unhappy, he could just sell his remaining shares and Roland would willingly buy it from him. Of course, Roland doesn't want that to happen either. He could tell that Alfred was only thinking of the good for the company and he didn't mean ill-intentions when he asked that question.
"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Roland asked as he stared at Alfred intently.
His powerful soul unconsciously lets out an intimidating atmosphere once again.
Of the entire room, only One remained stoic and calm as the intimidating pressure was released around Roland.
Bids of sweats unintentionally rolled down everyone's back as they felt shivers run down their spine all of a sudden. They didn't know what happened, but they could feel the temperature rising all of a sudden.
As they say, when one was always in a higher position their entire life, their aura would change to match their status and the pressure they gave off would be felt by those around them.
At this moment, everyone thought that this was Roland's aura of high status oozing out of him as if to tell them that they should know their place.
Even Gonzalo himself felt the need to go to the bathroom all of a sudden from this random encounter. He never felt that he could feel something like this his entire life.
However, amidst the pressure, Alfred gritted his teeth, and answered truthfully, "I don't mean anything bad, Sir. But it's just that I think you're thinking way too ahead of yourself. Right now, the company is still facing a crisis. If we don't solve this problem, not to mention abroad, even getting customers locally would be a problem for us."
"Sir, our situation is dire. Even right now, we still haven't even completely resolved the issue of our domain getting hacked, and you are already thinking of expanding abroad. I think we should solve the problem at hand first," he said with all seriousness.
His face was a little distorted maybe from the pressure that he felt. Even the two bodyguards, the two main chiefs of the main branch besides him were ready to defend him at any time as they could really feel an almost intangible pressure coming off from Roland who looked quite weak in their eyes with his thin body.
Hearing that, Roland laughed out loud as the pressure gradually disappeared, to everyone's delight. From Alfred's words, Roland could see that he was indeed loyal to the company, even to the point that he was already questioning Roland's way of handling things due to it.
Roland did not blame him for it and he even thought that this was a good sign. He needed capable employees, not obedient employees who would always agree and just do everything that Roland says. As they say, two minds are better than one, so an extra brain to help him decide things was a boon for Roland.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hahaha, I see what you're trying to portray, however, you don't need to worry about this. Didn't I say before that we'll start anew? I meant it from the bottom to the top! But for now, let's take it easy and rename our company first."
As he did that, Roland took his Ay-phone and went to that website that the System had told him. Following the System's instructions, Roland immediately typed in the name that they wanted to change to, and just a few minutes later, Roland finally got the reply that he wanted.
Even the three branch managers received notifications on their phone that the Protect Life Security Company has now changed its name into Divine Aegis Security Company. The name of the owner has changed as well, it was now named after Roland. But like always, there was no picture provided besides his name as if to remain mysterious.
The people around looked at each other, thinking how he managed to do it so quickly. Changing a company was by no means a small matter. They knew that it could not be done in a single day, much less a few minutes.
And although they were curious, they decided to hold their curiosity as Roland stood up from his seat.
"Now that we are no longer the Protect Life Security Company, I will start to check the standard of our employees. As we have a higher goal, we should also set a higher standard compared to other companies, right?"
