Chapter 1

What would you do if your life was suddenly flipped upside down, forcing you to become the inexperienced CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company all while constantly shadowed by a lurking, malicious threat?

At 6:00 p.m., the man stood before a tightly sealed boardroom door.

He was dressed in a light brown, thin-fabric shirt that subtly highlighted the slight tension in his broad back, topped with a fine, dark brown velvet suit. Yet, the immaculate attire felt more like an uncomfortable constraint than a symbol of prestige.

The closed door seemed to him like a barrier separating the familiar world from a battlefield he had never touched. The confidence that usually shone in his eyes was now clearly replaced by a visible trace of apprehension. His dark eyes quickly scanned the elaborately carved nameplate of the boardroom, as if he were gathering every ounce of courage before confronting the executives seated inside.

Sporadic whispers carried on the air, like the subtle breeze before a massive storm. The surrounding atmosphere was steeped in an invisible pressure, yet the palpable hostility emanating from those powerful figures within was undeniable.

Stepping into the role of 'CEO' was never his ambition; it was an unavoidable necessity. When the company's pillar, his father, was struck by an unexpected and severe illness, the heavy burden fell unintendedly upon his shoulders. He was no seasoned businessman. He had never been deeply involved in management. He was merely the heir by blood, now forced to shoulder the hopes and future of hundreds of lives.

Kawin drew a deep breath, filling his lungs as if attempting to bottle up every last shred of confidence within his body. Slowly, he raised a hand to the expansive boardroom door and pushed it open.

The polished teakwood door creaked softly—a gentle sound that nonetheless seemed to announce the arrival of the new executive. A dozen pairs of eyes immediately turned to him, like spotlights focused on a single point. Their faces held a variety of emotions: suspicion, judgment, and outright distrust.

Kawin stepped forward slowly amidst the suffocating silence. His heart hammered in his chest like a war drum about to begin the battle. He walked directly toward the empty CEO's chair, watched by the hopeful and anxious eyes of the people in the room—all anticipating the start of a new chapter for Wonder Package.

A chapter that he was about to write with two hands that had never held a management pen before.
