The Urban Dao Child

Chapter 87 - Biz Debut



Mary spoke in the microphone in front of her, “Ladies and Gentleman, I call upon, Miss Feng Yun, president of the Pheonix group and Chief Advisor of Dao Technologies, to introduce the Dao Technologies to you.” her words dropped and the media became calm.

Feng Yun stood up and gracefully walked to the podium. She glanced at the people below with a poker face and said, “Thank you, for gracing us with your presence tonight. You have my gratitude for sharing our happiness.” she took a pause, then carried on.

“Tonight we invited you here to bless my brother as he takes his first step in the Biz World. Last month he registered a company under his name. He started on his own and came to me only after he had his first product developed. His question was, “What to name the product?” I asked what will I get for helping him with this so the boy offered me a job.” she let out a chuckle.

Imagine somebody offering a job to the richest woman in the country? The media and the guest all laughed a bit. Yang Dao looked down on the ground, pursing his lips as he blushed. This incident happened over a phone call when he told Feng Yun about his product development. This thing was insignificant and as the two joked with each other he asked Feng Yun to work for him.

A media person raised his hand. Feng Yun nodded, and the person stood up. It was a lady in a formal outfit. She spoke, “Hello, President Feng, I am Ling Yu from Liro Times, my question to you is, How much salary did Young Master Feng offer you?”

Feng Yun showed a rare smile at this question. She replied, “The Young Master generously gave me a bowl of Chicken Ramen noodles and a slice of  Apple cherry pie, cooked by himself.”

The people did not laugh this time but smiled. This statement showed how close the relationship between the siblings was. The reporter sat down in her seat and Feng Yun continued, “During his childhood, my brother was forced to live in the orphanage because I was not strong enough to protect him. But later he became used to it and we decided to get back together when he is in college.”

She also used this opportunity to prevent people from looking into his identity and raise questions later. If somebody tried to smear them with mud, she would deal with them obviously, but it is good to prevent it. The media took note of all this. Feng Yun introduced them to Dao Technologies, it was nothing much, then she said, “I give you, the protagonist of the night, Mr. Yang Dao.”

The media and people all applauded the young man who stood up from his chair and walked to the podium with a faint smile on his face. The boy took a deep breath before he stepped over and spoke in the microphone, “Hello everyone, thank you for coming. I am Feng Yang Dao. CEO of Dao Technologies, and Sister Yun, I am deducting a slice of pie from your salary for revealing internal matters.”

Feng Yun quickly said, “I apologize, but don’t take away my pie.” as she chuckled. Everyone joined in the laughter. The boy was a natural, he set the mood right. He spoke with eloquence, “The company started a month ago, I wrote the code for a product. Today after a month, the technicians in the company have successfully developed the product to be compatible with almost all the smartphones available in the market. The product has a premium and a free version, users can download the product free of cost, use the trial for 3 months without paying a dime…”

He kept on introducing different aspects of the product to the media and the people. After ten minutes he said, “The product will be revealed by our spoke person, a pop idol and a youth icon. I give you Miss Jelena Riaz.”

Jelena Riaz stood up and walked over to Yang dao with a sweet smile on her face. The media knew her as a pop idol from the Freedom nation who was now making waves all over the world. Only now did her appearance was justified. The classmates of Yang Dao were all sitting in a daze. They did not expect this guy to get the pop idol as the spokesperson of the product.

Jelena took the mic at first she spoke in the native language of freedom nation. Later a machine voice sounded translating her words into English. This shocked the media. Some people in the crowd knew Freedom country language and exclaimed at the perfect translation. Jelena kept on talking using the app.

The girl even called over a volunteer from the media and the application worked completely fine. After the demonstration, Jelena spoke in her sweet voice, “The rest is over to the boss.” she was 16 just like Yang Dao so her frankness was overlooked.

Yang Dao came back and smiled at her as he said, “This app also has a computer version, and is capable of translating documents and text inside a picture. The users will have to log in using their ID. The pricing for the premium will be revealed later on. Now you can ask questions.”

His words dropped and all of the people raised their hands. Yang Dao said while pointing at the man in a white shirt, “The gent in white, please.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

The man stood up and asked, “Good evening, Boss Feng, I am Tyler Nathan from Jade Truth. I want to ask you, what made you start an independent company while you could have followed your sister?”

Yang Dao smiled and said, “You are wrong, Sir. I am following my sister. She also started her own company so I did that as well.”

The man nodded with a smile as he sat back down. Yang Dao revealed that he was following his sister but not under her shadow. He wanted to create a name of his own. The reporters kept asking him questions and the boy kept answering. After half an hour the Q&A finished. Yang Dao said, “I invite you all to the banquet, but if you want to click photographs then please ask the guest for permission before you do so.”

With this press meet, he has officially made his debut in the business world. Usually, nobody organizes a press meet for the first product. But Yang Dao did not know that in the last month Feng Yun had gotten him a lot of orders already. Thus, the press meet would just get him a better result and publicity.

That said the boy walked off the stage, he helped all the three ladies to walk down the steps. Mary was the last one to get down so Yang Dao asked, “Madam Mary, I haven’t seen you in a long time, how are you?”

Mary gave him a wry smile and said, “I was out on a paid vacation, Young Master. How are you?”

Yang Dao nodded with a smile, “I am fine. You take some rest, Madam. Thank you for your hard work.”

Mary nodded to him and after talking to Feng Yun she walked away. The boy held not Feng Yun’s hand and said, “What do you think? Will the people like it?”

Feng Yun responded with a smile, “Of course they will.”

Jelena exchanged a few words and went back to sit down with her grandmother. Yang Dao greeted a few guests and slowly came to the table where his classmates were eating and chatting. He sat down beside Kiya, as that was the only chair empty.

The table was covered with a lot of dishes. It was a buffet system. Do you like it? You serve it. He noted that Kiya was not eating. He asked, “Why are you not eating? Is the food not good?”

Kiya shook her head in silence. Yang Dao asked, “Did anyone say something to you?”

Kiya shook her head, she could see that although Yang Dao was calm he was concerned for her. She asked, “How did you get Jelena to be your company’s spoke person?”

Yang Dao smiled and told her how he saved Jelena’s grandmother in the car accident and then met her in the hospital. During the training camp, Kiya has become good friends with Yang Dao. The slight membrane between them did not exist now. Yang Dao would tell her everything she would ask him.

Kiya was also happy with this development but maintained a proper line between what to ask and what not to ask. After all, Yang Dao was a private person. If things went bad because she is nosy then it would be bad.

The two started to chat and Yang Dao served some food on her plate. Kiya did the same. She was not jealous anymore that her crush was indulging in other women. as the group of students was eating. Laohu Bai approached them and said to Yang Dao, “Dao, I want to dance with you. Will you?”
