Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

Chapter 73 Next Mission

73  Next Mission

Michael found himself enveloped in the rare tranquility of a peaceful sleep, a luxury that had eluded him in the tumultuous days past. Juggling the nascent demands of SolaraTech, his academic pursuits, and the daunting shadows of legal skirmishes that threatened to anchor his dreams in the depths of bureaucracy had left him perpetually on the brink of exhaustion. Yet, this morning was different; it was as if the night had woven a protective cocoon around him, granting him a temporary reprieve from the relentless pace of his waking life.

As the clock ticked seven, Michael's eyes fluttered open, his vision momentarily clouded by the remnants of sleep. The gentle morning light seeped through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room that slowly coaxed him back to reality. He lay there for a few moments, basking in the serenity of the dawn.

With a languid stretch, Michael shrugged off the vestiges of sleep and swung his legs over the side of the bed, planting his feet firmly on the ground. The cool touch of the floor against his skin served as a gentle reminder of the day's responsibilities that awaited him. He made his way across the room, the motions of his morning routine now second nature, a quiet prelude to the day's symphony of tasks.

Approaching his desk, Michael opened his laptop and the screen came to life, illuminating his face with its soft glow as he navigated to his inbox of his Gmail. And there he found himself staring at an inbox overflowing with responses. The job postings he had meticulously crafted and published on LinkedIn just yesterday had clearly struck a chord, drawing in a multitude of candidates eager to be a part of SolaraTech.

Michael began to sift through the applications, and there were a lot of them, professionals from the Philippines and abroad were applying for vacant positions in SolaraTech. The ages were mixed, ranging around from their mid-twenties to their thirties, and even forties. Some even worked for renowned companies around the world. Well, there's no surprises here. After all, the reason why they were applying at Solaratech is due to the high salary.

A high salary from the beginning isn't necessarily a bad thing especially when you have a lot of cash in the bank or have deep-pocketed investors willing to bankroll your vision for innovation and growth. Michael knew that offering competitive salaries was essential to attract top talent, especially in the high-stakes, rapidly evolving tech and renewable energy sectors. With this, he won't have trouble looking for an experienced and talented individual. It's all right here. Suddenly—the system notification chimed.

"Office huh?" Michael mused to himself. The System was right, he doesn't have an office yet. There is one but it won't be completed in six months. Now it makes sense why the name of the mission is called "temporary office" because he just needs to browse on the internet about commercial spaces.

Switching tabs on his laptop, Michael keyed in his search for office spaces for rent in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Known for its modern infrastructure, vibrant lifestyle options, and strategic location, BGC was an ideal choice for a startup like SolaraTech, aiming to attract top talent and establish a strong corporate presence.

The search returned a plethora of options, ranging from sleek, high-rise office buildings to more modest, co-working spaces that offered flexibility and scalability. Michael envisioned his office to be modern and sleek because his future products would come from the future. It wouldn't make sense if he were to select an office that doesn't come off as modern and sleek. As he sifted through the listings, Michael prioritized those with open floor plans, ample natural light, and modern amenities. He also considered spaces that offered common areas, such as lounges and meeting rooms, where his team could collaborate and share ideas freely. And there he found one, Servcorp located within the Philippine Stock Exchange Tower. So that building was not only grounds for stock trading but also housed office spaces for rent. The listing boasted state-of-the-art facilities, a prestigious address, and flexible lease terms, which seemed perfect for SolaraTech's temporary needs. The office space was fully furnished, equipped with high-speed internet, and offered access to meeting rooms and business lounges, all of which aligned with Michael's vision for a conducive work environment that would inspire innovation and productivity.

Without hesitation, Michael dialed the number posted on the main page. The call was answered promptly.

"Good morning, this is Servcorp. How can we assist you today?" "Hi, I saw your listing for office spaces for rent. I'm interested in viewing the space and discussing lease terms. Could we possibly arrange a visit today?" Michael inquired, trying to mask his eagerness.

"Certainly, may I have your name first please so I can schedule you for a viewing?"

"Michael Reyes," he replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Reyes. We can arrange a viewing for you this afternoon. How does 2 PM sound?" the representative offered.

"That works perfectly for me. Thank you," Michael responded.

After jotting down the details and ending the call, Michael couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. Securing an office space, even a temporary one, was a significant milestone for him. However, it would be prudent to notify Antoinette and Bridget about this. So he sent them a message, informing them that he was going to see an office space today. Of course, he won't expect a quick reply from them. After all, it's still early in the morning and they are probably sleeping peacefully on their bed.

"Time to get ready then," Michael said.
