The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 51: 51:Setting Off New Company

Three days later...

The office space was already well-groomed. The walls were decorated and didn't need renovations, saving him from spending money on decorations.

Everything had already been prepared by the seller.

Evan stepped into the new office with a tablet in hand. The open layout stretched before him, punctuated by the sleek desks and ergonomic chairs. He scanned the walls and noted their neutral tones which were perfect for fostering focus.

Moving through the space, he observed the meeting rooms which had glass walls, offering privacy without sacrificing openness. As he stared at each room, Evan imagined the sessions and team meetings that would take place within them.

Completing his scan, Evan smiled, pleased with the simplicity and functionality of the new office.

Just then, he heard the footsteps echoing throughout the space and turned around.

"You are here..."

"Evan, you finally remembered that I existed," a voice called from the other side.

"At least I called you. Why didn't you call if you wanted to talk?" Evan chuckled, seeing a neatly dressed Aria pouting with a grievous look.

"I know you are busy, so I didn't want to call and trouble my busy student, "Aria grinned.

"Thanks for your consideration, teacher. Anyway, let's stop, or we will argue until tomorrow," Evan decided to call for a truce knowing that if not, then they might continue their banter till tomorrow.

Aria smiled and nodded.

"So, why did you call here? Do you need some help dealing with the Director?" asked Aria, her voice tinged with worry.

"Not that. I need your help for my company, and you were my first choice. Are you up for it?"

"What company?" Aria shouted in bewilderment.

"If you are talking about that coffee business I am not interested in it," Aria replied.

"No, not that. It's for my IT software startup company."

Smiling, Evan took out his laptop from his bag and showed her the app. He then asked, "Miss Aria why did you return from overseas."

Aria's hand paused and she gave Evan an incredulous look.

"My parents didn't want to move since foreign lands didn't suit them. Secondly, I didn't like their work culture."

Evan raised his brows with a prying look seeing that Aria wasn't speaking anymore and decided to stop and focus on showcasing the app.

When Aria saw what the app could do, the gears in her head started turning like jet engines.

Although she wasn't an app developer, she understood the importance of compression used by many developers all around.

She knew that providing a compression tool that could perform multi-range tasks might become a big thing.

"Is this only for mobile phones?" she asked after a while.

"Nah!"

"Since I don't have servers, I have just released a free version of the app. Soon, I will release a premium version for phones. Meanwhile, we will also create a website and sell Codezipper for computers and programmers."

Evan and Aria discussed this more thoroughly. They needed IT staff and other professionals for suitable departments.

But they couldn't just take anyone.

Evan wanted to leave this trouble to Aria, who refused, saying that it was too messy for her to handle. Though she had some connections and could put up a recruitment notice, she wasn't keen on managing it all.

At that moment, Evan wished that his system could give him some people like those in the sign-in wealth system, but complaining wouldn't help.

Letting it go, the duo went back and forth until Evan finally convinced Aria to take on the load.

She felt a bit of blatant injustice, wondering if Evan just wanted to dump all his work on her, but after discussing the salary, she agreed.

For a generous salary of 15 million rupees [1.5 crores] a year, she won't even hesitate to mop the floor.

"But what is the name of the company?" she asked.

Hearing this, Evan's lips curled upwards.
