“Aashi is a CEO of the new rising Star Dust Group (SD Group)!” Erick said with a playful smile which says that he got successful in pulling the prank.
.....
When Erick repeated himself then both onee-san came out of their bewilderment and saw Erick playing with his phone which looks very hi-tech for the current market to produce but they ignored that part cause at the moment their gazes on his phone screen or to be more specific the photos on his mobile screen.
Ohh! The Hi-tech android mobile on Erick’s hand is, by the way, the transformed Megatron.
“Hey! Erick, when did you take those photos, huh!” Hana asked pointing her finger at his phone with shaking hands, don’t know if caused by anger or shame.
“Hahahha! Look at both of your expressions, ohh! How cute and funny your looks in these photos!” Erick laughed and said to them showing their photos which look very funny and cute, making them feel shameful of their behaviour.
“Hehehe! Erick-Kun, won’t be you dear and delete those photos and If you do then I will forgive you for teasing your onee-san!!” Kristine chuckled and called out with an eerie smile on her half squatting eyes looking at him for the reply as a pray.
“Hahaha! Kristine onee-san, It...it was just a little prank why being so serious, hahaha!” Erick laughed awkwardly seeing her not so kind smile with a weird aura coming out from her making him feel chill on his spine even after having the strength to crush small hills with his bare hands.
“So are you doing it or not?” Even Hana has the same kind of smile and aura, making Erick nod hurriedly and delete those photos in front of them.
Only then did the chill, he was feeling fade away like it wasn’t there in the first place and he felt like he avoided something very dreadful.
Only now did he remember why powerful Op MCs from anime, comics and manga are prone to having fear towards women, especially towards their loved ones.
“Anyway, Aashi, is it true? what Erick said!” Kristine in a blink of an eye returned to her usual smile and then asked Aashi to confirm whether what Erick said is true or not, but Erick can feel a little worry and nervousness from her tone.
“Hmmn! Well, It’s true! I just took over the position so there’s still a lot of work I have to do.” Aashi replied with a small smile imagining what she can accomplice and what kind of experience she will get.
“So Erick is a friend of the CEO of the new rising Group. Umm! If it’s not a problem then could you explain the workings of your group?” Hana first gave him a stink eye and then asked Aashi, not knowing how the group will be going to operate in the future as it’s complicated to just speculate so seeing the person sitting in front of her is the leader of the group then she just asks about it from her directly.
“Hmmm! Let’s see as you have seen the product that our group has produced, which are very magical and its effect is 100% real but these cannot be found anywhere means these products are one of kind so we can have a monopoly over the market once we started to supply in the market.” Aashi then started to tell them how they are planning to supply these products in the market.
Hana and Kristine being intelligent ladies immediately thought about how fast they will make money from this and when they mass-produced these products what kind of tremor it will cause.
Being the sole developer of these products and having no competition so they will have a monopoly over the market.
And whatever the price they will set, they will still sell like hotcakes.
“So, have you thought of how you are going to contact the market? How are you going to start selling the products as you have seen here every product has been bid for more than a few million yen so you can’t sell below the million mark and cause of it, these products automatically become a high-end products.” Hana asked about the main problem on how are they going to distribute in the market and what the pricing would be like?
“I gave the thought about it and the most optimal solution, for now, would be renting a few high-end stores with particular good locations,” Aashi said thoughtfully as what she and Erick thought before would be good for now and the only problem would finding the stores with good location and individuals to take care of the sale.
“Umm! Hana, isn’t your family owning a few malls in the city centre?” Kristine asked remembering Hana’s family has the perfect place for the opening of the store.
“Ahh! Yes, my family does own a few malls there and we also rent out stores to others. So Aashi, If you want I can ask my father about it.” Hana nodded remembering her family does own the malls there but she does not meddle in that particular business so she often forgets about it.
“Thank you, Hana. That would tremendously help us and of course, I won’t be letting you feel that you losing out so I will give you three times the original rent and in exchange, you have to take care of the securities.” Aashi smiled feeling relieved that this problem was solved somehow and thanked Hana for her timely assistance and then offer her a fair price for asking for additional help.
“Hmmm! I will inform my father about it and tell him your conditions then I will inform you tomorrow morning about the father’s decision.” Hana just smiled at Aashi for her generosity for paying over time than what they will need.
Then they exchanged mobile no. with each other and Aashi also took from Kristine and ask for Aisa’s contact no.
As they were about to discuss some more before Aisa called Aashi’s name from the stage to speak some words to a crowd of people and also to let her develop her prestige in front of all of them and show them the face of Star Dust Group.
Erick noticed that Kristine has something in her mind but hesitated in saying what was in her mind. So Erick didn’t ask directly, he thought there will be another chance to talk about it.
Aashi straighten herself and then moved towards the stage where Aisa was waiting for her.
.....
“Hello everyone, I am Aashi, the CEO of Star Dust Group.
I am here to inform you all that the three product, which has been auctioned today, will be launched on the market in a week, so look forward to it.
Now then if anyone like to ask questions feel free to ask I will answer a single question per person.”
Aashi greeted everyone after taking the stage with a warm sunny smile coupled with her gentle aura around her everyone only felt the spring breeze so the admiration and adoration for Aashi were already born in their heart.
If you are asking why nobody has any lustful feelings towards her then the answer is very simple. Erick doesn’t want to deal with these typical fools every time he goes out with her so he gave her an accessory. Which by the way, would be enough to put these kinds of stupid fools into a trance state, if any fool has dirty or unholy thoughts towards her then they will face the consequences.
Aashi’s beauty and charm are always hidden by a spell as long as she is outside, in front of other people so that’s how Erick has saved himself a lot of trouble.
Then Aashi waited for the people in the crowd to ask questions which she will answer if it was not anything over the top.
Then a few people sitting in the front row put their hands up and indicated they are ready to ask questions.
Then Aashi chooses a professional-looking person which has a notebook and pen ready in his hands. The expression on his face says that he is now ready to write any kind of scope he gets here. So Aashi easily identify this person as a reporter so she thought this person would be good as any.
“Yes, mister from the front row third sheet, Ahh! yes...you!” Aashi called out to that mister with a sketchy appearance.
“Thank you for the opportunity Miss Aashi. Miss, you said that this item will be launched in a week but where can we get them in the market.” The sketchy man asked.
“Umm! Unfortunately, the location has not been determined but in two days, the location will be confirmed!” Aashi shook her head and keeping her smile on her face, she replied calmly.
Then Aashi waved at the man to sit down and then called out the next person sitting three seats behind him.
“Umn! Miss, I have never heard about the Star Dust Group name anywhere so that means, it has just been stabilized so I was wondering if we have a chance to work together!” The man with a black suit and tie on his neck with his office attire is very neat and clean. The guy looks very kind and not very intelligent with his looks but the question he asked made every person perk up.
“Hmmn! I can’t say anything about it for now but we can’t be sure about the future.” Aashi replied in a way that nobody found out she just indirectly rejected him.
“Before anyone asked more, let me mention something that these products which will be in the market, are from the subsidiary company, SD Pharmacy under the Star Dust Group which has just been established in this very city and in the future, there will be two more subsidiaries which will be opening under the Star Dust Group.” Aashi explained before anyone misunderstood and thought some nonsense, this will make them understand that this mysterious Group is not weak financially so they can’t take advantage.
Then others also asked some questions which were related to a business venture like what kind of subsidiary will be two, which will open in the future and what kind of product SD Pharmacy will launch next?!!!.
So Aashi patiently answered all their question, the subsidiaries that are going to be open, are related to Hi-tech electronics and online shopping respectively.
Then before ending her question and answer session, she explained how they will going to operate.
“Now then, what I am going to say is very important so please pay attention. Here, I have a card which will be issued in SD Pharmacy and why it is important because the card here is the main key to getting these products as without this card, you are not allowed and more like you won’t be able to buy the item from the store.
This card is not just for show as this card here has a unique code for each person and needed to bind it with a drop of blood as it scans your biological gene sequence then you can do the procedure to buy the item.
The items are limited to one per person as the SD Pharmacy has only 1000 items in each category so a total of 3000 items have been produced for now so everyone is sure to get this card before the product is launched otherwise you will have to wait for next batch which will come in 10 more days.”
Aashi put the card on the big screen to let them know what it looks like and then explained why it was needed but the last part she just added about the gene sequence cause it uses Archrunes to identify the person’s unique life structure and its pattern is added on the card.
Then Aashi ended the session and took her to leave after thanking everyone for coming here.
