Ethan: glares He lost it all. Everything.
ChocolateComet
Why are you staring at me like you hate me?
snaps Hate you? I don't have time for this bullshit. We've got bigger problems. Our family's legacy is on the line, and I won't let it fall apart because of some dumb mistake your brother made.
ChocolateComet
What do you mean?
grits teeth I mean, our family's business is in shambles. Our reputation is tarnished.
ChocolateComet
Okay. Okay. I get it. You're angry. So what are we gonna do?
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I've been away for nine damn years, chopping wood in the mountains to make ends meet.
ChocolateComet
Yes, I know. You said it before.
paces back and forth Yeah, well, it's not the same as having a real job. And now, thanks to my brother's stupidity, we're in deep shit.
ChocolateComet
Damn it, Ethan! Your anger isn't gonna fix this!
stops pacing, looks ChocolateComet in the eye You think I don't know that? Well, maybe it's time for someone to take charge and fix things around here.
ChocolateComet
Fair enough. So what's your brilliant plan then?
leans in closer, voice low and determined We need to rebuild, and we need to do it fast.
ChocolateComet
How?
starts listing things on fingers First, we need to secure some investors. Second, we need to revamp our product line. Third, we need to hire new talent.
ChocolateComet
Sounds ambitious. Where do we start?
stands tall, voice firm We start by cutting our losses and firing anyone who contributed to this mess. No exceptions.
ChocolateComet
nods Alright, I'm with you. Let's clean house.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by making a list of everyone involved in the company. We need to assess who's loyal and who's not.
ChocolateComet
Do you know who was involved?
flips through the company's employee files Yeah, I've been keeping tabs on things from the outside.
ChocolateComet
Who are the untrustworthy people?
points to specific names in the notebook These are the ones who have been embezzling funds, taking extended breaks, and pushing outdated ideas. They need to go.
ChocolateComet
looks at the list This is gonna take all night.
narrows his eyes It's not just about the length of time, it's about being thorough. We need to make sure we're getting rid of anyone who might pose a threat to our plans.
ChocolateComet
Right. Okay, let's get started then.
grabs his phone and starts making calls I already have a list of head hunters and recruitment agencies ready to help us fill the positions.
ChocolateComet
Head hunters? That'll cost us some money.
waves off the concern Right now, money is the least of our worries. We need top talent if we're going to turn this company around.
ChocolateComet
Alright, I trust you. Let's do this.
speaking quickly Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll start by reaching out to our professional network, seeing if they know anyone who might be interested in joining our team.
ChocolateComet
nods Alright, shoot. Let's see what we can find.
typing furiously on his laptop Alright, I've sent out a mass email to our network. Now we just wait for responses.
