<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sonya, in my opinion, it\u2019s easier to implement it than to revive it,\u201d the father remarked.<\/p>\n
Sophia was in the parent\u2019s office, reviewing some documentation.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, who was actually behind the wheel?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, there\u2019s a whole story there. Once, my cousin came to see me. She got married and had a son. For a long time, she elaborated on his talents\u2014how outstanding he was and how hard it was for him to find a worthy place in life. In short, we never got along, and so, to avoid making things worse, I offered him this position.<\/p>\n
At that time the firm was very small, but I planned to grow. You had just gone abroad for your studies. And you know, initially things went quite well. The guy was educated and had the knack for it. We expanded rather quickly.<\/p>\n
The father paused.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then something happened in their family, and he abandoned his duties. He disappeared\u2014I don\u2019t know where. But then his little sister reappeared and offered us, instead of a son, his father. She insisted that the father had always supported his son, that he was aware of everything, and that every successful deal Maxim had was thanks to the parent.<\/p>\n
Since then, complete chaos has ensued. You understand\u2014we grew here, things in the south were booming. I simply didn\u2019t have enough time to keep up with what was happening. And now, analyzing it, I realize\u2014it\u2019s easier to sell than to revive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, wait. Let\u2019s try anyway. Let me take charge of it. And if it works out, will it be mine?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSonya, why burden yourself with trivial matters? Pick any one of our stable companies. I\u2019ll gladly assign it to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Dad. Those companies are already set up. I want to build something from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gennady Viktorovich smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cSonya, you\u2019ll just be wasting your time. Although, to be honest, I appreciate your approach. Now I\u2019m sure\u2014you\u2019ve grown into a smart and independent woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, I\u2019m already 28. Haven\u2019t you forgotten all the years I spent gaining practical experience?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember everything. But to me, you\u2019ll always be a child.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what will Mom say about my plan?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, maybe you should talk to her yourself? I\u2019m a bit scared.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gennady Viktorovich looked at his daughter in alarm and sighed resignedly. He was completely unable to say no to either Sonya or his wife, always trying not to upset them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a mess! No one can pass or even get through!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia shuddered. For a week, she had been working in the office as a cleaner. She didn\u2019t interfere or ask questions\u2014she simply observed. And she figured out one thing: the director was not just a fool, but a crowned blockhead\u2014in other words, a complete amateur.<\/p>\n
He allowed himself to give absurd orders just to show off his power. The company\u2019s financial situation was catastrophic. Sonya hadn\u2019t yet fully figured it out, but she was determined to understand everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I got lost in thought,\u201d Sophia quickly said as she grabbed the bucket and prepared to leave.<\/p>\n
But Viktor Viktorovich stopped her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand. Who gave you permission to leave?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat, I have to ask someone for permission?\u201d<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich nearly choked with anger.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou do,\u201d his voice broke into a falsetto. \u201cAs long as I\u2019m here, I decide who goes where. Understand?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven to the bathroom you need your permission?\u201d retorted Sophia.<\/p>\n
Laughter was heard around. The boss turned threateningly, but everyone immediately pretended to be busy with work. And when he turned back, he found that Sophia had disappeared.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, maybe it\u2019s for the best,\u201d he thought. Viktor Viktorovich always got flustered when someone argued with him.<\/p>\n
His mood was completely ruined. \u201cHow dare she? A little smartass! I\u2019m a respected person in this city. No one holds a position like mine!\u201d And what position? In essence, he was almost the owner of everything.<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich looked around for someone on whom he could vent his anger, but found no one. Lately, he had been trying to keep his temper in check. People simply no longer wanted to work for them. And he hadn\u2019t increased salaries in a long time. He could fire employees in minutes. So he had to restrain himself\u2014even though he hated it.<\/p>\n
He went to his office. He still needed to sign a contract with a new supplier\u2014one he had found himself. Such wonderful prices! Yes, the product wasn\u2019t very high quality, but he was merely a middleman, so the bribes went smoothly. And the profit margin, which already warmed his heart, could be pocketed later.<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich took the papers and headed to the office where the accountant and economist were working. The doors were always open, as the office was oppressively hot. The air conditioner worked only in his office. In the other rooms it was turned off\u2014allegedly to save money.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlevtina Vasilievna, print this,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n
Sophia was mopping nearby and listening carefully.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, Viktor Viktorovich, you know that firm. No one wants to get involved with them. I think, given our situation, it\u2019s not worth the risk,\u201d the accountant objected.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/488911778_632118522996860_9155894213972950409_n-266x300.jpg\")
\nViktor Viktorovich blushed, then turned pale.<\/p>\n
\u201cI! And only I decide what and when the firm does things!\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman in the office raised her voice as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m not getting involved in this! With the salary you pay, I could sit at home and occasionally prepare reports for small companies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irina Sergeyevna, the economist who had worked here since its opening, stood before the boss:<\/p>\n
\u201cFire him! But know this\u2014your scheming will eventually come to light.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia straightened up. Finally, she had found someone who could help her shed light on everything.<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich tried to avoid conflicts with the employees in that office. They knew too much. But now he couldn\u2019t allow them to speak to him that way. He alternated between blushing and paling, unable to get a word out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWater?\u201d\u2014next to him, as if by magic, Sophia appeared.<\/p>\n
And then he exploded:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell are you doing, running around under my feet all day? Who are you? A cleaner? So you\u2019re cleaning my floors! What exactly do you need in this office? Now, get out!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia smiled calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cViktor Viktorovich, perhaps you aren\u2019t aware, but even with cleaners one cannot speak like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irina Sergeyevna grabbed her bag and headed for the exit.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, dear, this man is unstable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich even stamped his foot.<\/p>\n
\u201cIrina Sergeyevna, get back to your place immediately!\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman removed her hand from Sophia\u2019s shoulder and smiled at her. \u201cI\u2019ve wanted to do that for a long time,\u201d she thought. Then she turned to the boss and said with pleasure:<\/p>\n
\u201cGo to hell, old grump! I\u2019ve never seen anyone dumber than you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich\u2019s jaw dropped. They had already left the office, yet he still couldn\u2019t keep silent.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here? I\u2019m going to fire everyone!\u201d he burst out.<\/p>\n
Sophia was mopping in the hall, while any trace of Irina Sergeyevna had long vanished.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is she?\u201d the boss roared.<\/p>\n
Sophia looked up innocently.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur economist!\u201d<\/p>\n
The boss was yelling so loudly that his voice cracked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know. And why are you all yelling at me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich gasped for air and dashed back into the office. \u201cJust another second, and he would have pounced on that girl,\u201d thought Sophia as she tossed the mop aside. It probably wouldn\u2019t be needed anymore.<\/p>\n
She had insisted that Irina Sergeyevna wait for her at the caf\u00e9 across from the office.<\/p>\n
At the caf\u00e9, the woman was sitting at a table, drinking tea. Her hands trembled slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSonya, is that you? You have no idea how bitter I am. I devoted so many years to this firm\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIrina Sergeyevna, don\u2019t worry so much. Everything will be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut where will it be fine, Sonya? When Maxim was the head, everything was different. And where did he go?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, his own father survived. He got into a scandal with his son for not giving him enough money. He constantly proposed dubious deals that Maxim refused. And then, apparently, through his boss he ended up here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have his contact details?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, they must be somewhere. We were very close. A good guy. Sonya, why are you so interested?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerhaps it\u2019s time to introduce myself. My name is Sophia Gennadyevna Severskaya.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeverskaya? Wait, that\u2019s the surname of the company\u2019s owner!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re absolutely right. Gennady Viktorovich is my father. He wanted to sell this company as unprofitable, but we talked and decided to try to save it. Irina Sergeyevna, I want you to understand\u2014of course, you\u2019re not fired, and your salary will be significantly higher. I need your help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irina Sergeyevna looked at her with wide eyes, then smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will succeed! I\u2019ll help you with everything. Just promise one thing\u2014fire Viktor Viktorovich in a way that everyone sees it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see, Irina Sergeyevna, judging by what remains of the firm now, one firing might not be enough. So much money has been invested here, and it\u2019s unprofitable. I think if we dig deeper, we\u2019ll uncover many interesting things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will definitely find something, Sophia Gennadyevna! I beg you. After all, it used to be so good\u2026\u201d Irina Sergeyevna smiled through tears. \u201cYes, thank you, Sonya.\u201d<\/p>\n
From that day, in a rented apartment, Sophia organized an entire headquarters. She still went to the office to clean, but now with a definite purpose.<\/p>\n
Maxim turned out to be not only a programmer and manager but possessed many other skills. Even Sophia, with her education abroad, sometimes found herself at a loss for words.<\/p>\n
Now, while cleaning, she was downloading information onto flash drives. One day, when Viktor Viktorovich wasn\u2019t around, she went to clean his office\u2014a task permitted only under his supervision. But, firstly, Sophia felt nauseated around him, and secondly, he probably wouldn\u2019t have allowed her to simply copy data.<\/p>\n
She had already hidden a flash drive in her pocket and was mopping the floor (not without reason she had stopped by) when the door burst open and the owner of the office himself appeared at the threshold.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d he shouted so loudly that it deafened everyone.<\/p>\n
Sophia put on an innocent expression.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust cleaning.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI forbade tidying up in my office when I\u2019m not here!\u201d he rushed to the desk, reviewed the documents that Sophia had photographed first, and then turned to her: \u201cThat\u2019s it! This was the last straw! I\u2019ll wipe you out into dust!\u201d<\/p>\n
Employees began gathering around the office. Everyone was curious about the commotion, especially since it didn\u2019t directly concern them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat for?\u201d Sophia asked innocently.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuickly write your resignation! Without any pay! Get out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia straightened up. How fed up she was with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay. But I\u2019ll come submit my resignation in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the morning. See you tomorrow, Viktor Viktorovich.\u201d<\/p>\n
She walked down the corridor. The employees lined up and watched her with admiration. None of them would dare speak to the boss like that. He had enough connections to put them all on a blacklist.<\/p>\n
They barely slept that night. Early in the morning, her father arrived.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, what kind of guerrilla headquarters have you organized here?\u201d<\/p>\n
After reviewing the documents, he shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys, this is enough for Ryzhikov to get ten years in prison!\u201d<\/p>\n
Maxim coughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me, but perhaps you\u2019ll allow him to get back everything he has so that\u2026 well, we can avoid jail? We\u2019re not on the best of terms, but after all, he\u2019s my father.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gennady Viktorovich waved his hand dismissively.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll figure it out. Let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the office employees saw Sophia, one could paint a picture called \u201cSilent Amazement.\u201d And Sophia had simply returned to her usual style\u2014loose hair, high heels, skinny trousers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello everyone! Is management here? I\u2019ve come to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was followed by Maxim, her father, and Irina Sergeyevna. When the latter was seen, the employees burst into laughter, but the woman put a finger to her lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuiet! Or you won\u2019t want to see our boss fly out of here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then someone recognized Gennady Viktorovich.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s him! He!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia flung open the office door without knocking.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, Viktor Viktorovich!\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
And then he saw his son, then Gennady Viktorovich, and finally Irina Sergeyevna. Judging by his paling face, he understood everything immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you warn me? Have a seat!\u201d<\/p>\n
Gennady Viktorovich shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, but let\u2019s get straight to the point,\u201d he said, lifting a folder. \u201cHere are enough materials and documents to send you to prison for ten years. But you have such a wonderful son who pleaded for you. I know how much money you have in your accounts. You will transfer it all to the company\u2019s account by this evening. Not one extra kopeck\u2014and you\u2019re off to jail. Now, get out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich stepped back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing?!\u201d<\/p>\n
At that moment, Maxim couldn\u2019t hold it in.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, do you really want him to go to jail?\u201d<\/p>\n
Viktor Viktorovich disappeared from the office. Gennady Viktorovich turned to his daughter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can I say? Well done! Work hard. If you need anything, I\u2019ll help however I can. Besides, it looks like you even have an assistant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sophia blushed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell then, Dad? Work, work. But also take care of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maxim smiled sheepishly and looked at Sophia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Gennady Viktorovich, everything will be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
And six months later, when the firm had outpaced all the local competitors, a corporate celebration in honor of Maxim\u2019s and Sophia\u2019s engagement was bustling in the best restaurant in town.<\/p>\n
