At eight in the morning, Mr. Chess and I had left for the head office to attend a board meeting, Ms. Irma and Mr. Cakra left together in one car. The four of us to the head office use two cars if Miss Irma and Mr. Cakra use a driver, then the Catur sir choose to drive alone.

The journey from home to office takes approximately thirty minutes if it is not jammed. As soon as I arrived at the office, Mr. Chess immediately invited me to enter the meeting room, in the room there were already several people present.

At nine o'clock in the morning the meeting began immediately after all the board of directors had been present in the meeting room. Mr. Cakra who leads the meeting directly, Mr. Cakra listens to all proposals and reports from the board of directors, and also Mr. Cakra asked Mr. Chess to report about the state of the factory he leads now and about the construction of a new factory.

Authoritatively, Mr. Chess stood in front of the monitor screen to present the progress of the existing factory in the city of Madiun, while I operated the computer to display the sales graph in the existing factory in the city of Madiun.

"Assalamu'alaikum, thank you all for giving me the opportunity to lead the Cakra Lima branch factory in Madiun city, I will report on the progress of the plant during these seven months which and under my leadership, from the beginning of the month I was in charge of sales increased five percent from the previous month, he said, and thank God every month there is always an increase in sales of ten to one hundred percent. For the branch factory that we just built alhamdulillah now the construction has reached thirty percent, it is estimated that in the period of one year, the new factory has been completed and is ready to start production, he said, thank you if anyone wants to ask please." said Mr. Chess ended his presentation.

"Sir Chess, what motivates you to lead the factory so that it advances rapidly as it is now, and this is the most amazing among the branch factories that you have ever led, he said, sorry sir based on your work record at most only increased to fifty percent and now it can be up to one hundred percent, how to achieve it?" ask one of the board of directors who has long joined Cakra Lima.

"This time, I chose a winning working partner who has mastered the condition of the factory and market in the city, he is my working partner, Afifah, the mother of Afifah, because his experience has been more than ten years working in the Cakra Lima factory in Madiun city so it is very easy for me to achieve targed and also his performance is very competent and no doubt, so every time I have a difficulty he gives input and direction to me, and can be said he is one of my encouragement." replied Mr. Chess firmly.

Finished eating Miss Irma back to the office with Pak Cakra while I and Mr. Chess went to the tomb of his son's wife, Mr. Chess, after the tomb of Mr. Chess took me to the house of her in-laws who called mother. Mother's house is not an elite area like the family of the Chess sir but is quite spacious and also beautiful.
