Chapter 44 - Assembled.
The teaching staff never took any action because they could not move against the people involved. Yang Dao was a national treasure and also, the younger brother of Feng Yun. That woman alone can change the outlook of the annual economic report. You can guess how powerful she is. While the other parties were all big names as well.
Yang Dao compensated the boy who had threatened him. Still sitting in the canteen, he pondered over the situation. Although the result was good. His own behavior came to him as a shock. Never has he lost control over himself. Thinking of the incident as an act committed in the heat of the moment, it was put aside. The focus was then shifted to the dishes served in front of him.
Mikhail also had lunch with him and Icarus but he did not let out a single word, afraid that he might disturb Yang Dao on the other hand Icarus kept on talking even with his mouth filled with food. Yang Dao kept nodding at him and occasionally hummed.
The three people went back to their classes after the meal. The incident in the canteen was suppressed by Mikhail from spreading like a wildfire in this jungle of gossipers. These rumors will affect Yang Dao’s reputation and once highlighted or picked up by some attention-hungry Media, it will raise chaos.
Yang Dao attended his classes and then took a practice lap with the cycling team. Today they all rode a complete circuit together. Yang Dao was taught how to draft for the team and Icarus was asked to draft on the flats.
Yang Dao was a sponge, absorbing everything he was soaked with to the last drop. The team was happy with his growth at the end of the day before parting, Ray asked Yang Dao, “Dao wanna participate in an event?”
The boy was surprised and then asked, “What event?”
Ray smiled and told him, “There are a lot of organizations who organize bike races all around the city and people come to participate. It is a sort of promotional event. You just need to wear a jersey they give. They pay you with some money and energy supplements in the end. How about it? You will get some experience, it may not be as competitive as official races but still, it is a good one to hone your skills.” he was patient in his explanations. Ray’s temperament was just like a mountain. Calm, firm, and dependable.
Yang Dao was curious to take a part in an official event. He asked, “Whan is it being held?”
Ray replied, “Saturday, three days, later. Also, try and not ride Silence there. Too many bike enthusiasts. They will storm you like wild boars.” his tone was solemn.
Yang Dao nodded after giving it a thought and said, “Okay, how about this? We go and you help me buy a good bike from a shop, tomorrow. I will be able to get used to it before the race.”
Ray nodded with a smile, “I will be glad Tyrant Dao.”
Yang Dao chuckled as the two parted after a few words. He pushed his bike to the campus gates with a bag on his back as his helmet hung at the handles. Raised his hand to put on the helmet, but his phone rang at this moment.
Fished out the phone from the bag, accepted the call. The other side was a silky-voiced woman, “Hello, is this student Yang Dao?”
Yang Dao replied, “Yes, may I know who is this?” his voice was calm and indifferent.
The lady on the phone spoke, “I am Professor Dew. I wanted to ask you, has the equipment been delivered? If yes, then when should I come over to help you assemble it?”
Yang Dao stuck out his tongue on a reflex. Then he said, “Professor, would it be alright if I called you in a bit to report the status?”
The beauty professor agreed and disconnected the call. Yang Dao immediately called Feng Yun. as the call connected he asked hurriedly, “Sister Yun, the equipment…”
His sentence has not yet completed when Feng Yun interrupted, “It has all been delivered in the suite below yours, Young Master. You can ask Luna for the keys to the place.” her tone was warm and Yang Dao could imagine her smiling. He replied as he heaved a sigh of relief, “You are the best, Sister Yun.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Feng Yun was as if she ate honey when Yang Dao said this. She smiled and said, “Anything for you Young Master.”
The boy talked for a bit and after promising her a video call, he disconnected the call. Yang Dao then called the beauty professor asking her to come at the college gates so that they can go to his place and assemble the equipment. Proffesor Dew agreed and drove her car to the entrance. She saw Yang Dao standing on a side with his black bike on his side. She lowered the window after parking near him asked, “Student Dao, would you take a ride?”
Yang Dao saw her and said, “It’s faster this way Professor, I lead, you follow?”
Professor Dew was confused to see how it was faster for him to lead her CAR with his BIKE. Yet before she could say anything, the charming boy in front of her put on his helmet and set out.
From the first pedal his bike was fast. Professor Dew followed for a few more minutes and as she saw Yang Dao coming out of the bike lane and speeding up with the main traffic, she was scared. The speed limit was 50 kilometers and hardly anyone was able to drive that fast in so many vehicles. Yet Professor Dew saw that the bike in front was keeping a constant speed of 40-45 kilometer per hour.
After 50 minutes of city commute Yang Dao took a turn, entered the road beside the sapphire lake. Professor Dew was about to relax when the bike shot like a bullet. This road had no traffic and Yang Dao stood up on his bike. The beauty in the car was shocked. The car was now following at a speed of 62 kmph. She did not know how could a bike move so fast.
Soon, they arrived at the residency entrance, Professor Dew was aware of Yang Dao’s identity but this was a bit too extravagant for her. The boy told the guards to let the car behind follow in. Professor Dew glanced around the whole construct with awe.(✪▽✪)
The broad road, leading to the central tower and then dividing into four different roads dedicated to the surrounding towers. The car entered the parking area, Professor Dew parked her car next to Yang Dao’s bike. She disembarked the vehicle, first thing she did was asking Yang Dao, how could his bike reach such a speed?
Yang Dao patiently explained to her about how a road racer worked. He tactfully ignored the part about cost of his bike. Then he led the beauty inside the elevator and called Luna. The call connected and the charming manager responded, “Young Master, I am waiting for you in front of your door.”
The elevator opened and Yang Dao found Luna standing in front of him with a phone attached to her ear as she smiled at him. The boy smiled back and asked her to lead the Professor back downstairs so that she could check the equipment.
Luna nodded and twisting her willow waist she led Professor Dew downstairs. In her mind, she was trying to predict what relationship did the two people have. Professor Dew broke the silence as they walked out of the elevator, “Hello. I am Yang Dao’s professor, Kylie Dew.”
Luna responded, “Hello, professor. My name is Luna Grace, a manager in the community.”
Professor Dew nodded at her and the two ladies were already inside the house. Luna pointed at a bunch of big boxes placed on the ground, “This is the stuff that was delivered. We made sure to handle it with as much care as possible.”
Professor Dew nodded, and moved to check the equipment. As soon as she opened the box and took apart the safety wrapping her eyes shone. She carefully placed the equipment back in the boxes. Then she arranged the boxes in a particular order. Yang Dao arrived at this time. He helped the lady with labor as she fixed the parts inside a cabinet.
They had ten cabinets. Each consisting one motherboard, 3TB RAM chips, 20 TB storage drives, powered by a 32 core Processor chip. These thing had some serious juice and needed to be supported by an excellent cooling system. So they had asked for 20 cooling fans and 10 oil cooled cabinet cases.
After placing these things into a room, the professor connected them to a 55 inches big screen. Then she was about to start working on configuring the system. When she turned to Yang Dao and said, “Can you arrange for food? I am hungry, also, I have applied for a leave at the uni. I will stay here for the time being. This thing needs serious work.”
Yang Dao nodded and thanked her sincerely. He asked Luna, who watched all this from the side and said, “Please look for someone to arrange food for her these days, also, what we have here needs not be talked about. It is not anything illegal, I hope you understand.”
Luna was hesitant but Yang Dao’s last sentence broke through. The perks of being a handsome rich teenager.
