A week had passed since the press conference. In this period of time, Yang Dao and Frieda had completed a lot of things. The girl got to submit her final project and pass the class with flying colors while the boy got the bot tested and certified by dozens of governmental authorities and was ready for sale.

The official website of the company had a countdown timer on the book now button. Yang Dao himself sat down among the IT staff of the company. Only ten minutes were left before the people will start booking for the Robo-Aid.

The reason he was sitting here was to fend off the unwelcome guests. The Crypto Nation was always staring at the world with concealed eyes. They had the technology but a lot of it came from the other parts of the world too. Last week, Yang Dao met a company representative from Crypto nation.

The company was called Mecha-tech. They specialized in robots and they liked the handy and adorable design of the bot. At least that is what the person said on the surface.

For the sake of pretense, Yang Dao met with the guy and what happened next was something everyone will remember for a long time.

...

A day after the conference a man dressed in a grey suit walked into the Dao Technologies building. He was about to ask the receptionist something when his gaze fell on a white and black bot cleaning the area. The man gazed at this bot without blinking.

He walked over and was about to touch the bot when the bot turned to him and spoke in its mechanical voice, 'Hello, do you need help in cleaning something?'

The man replied, "No. Can you let me touch you?"

The bot replied, "I am on duty. Please do not disturb me." With that said the bot turned back around and kept on with its own thing.

The man did not mind but nodded in affirmation. He wanted this bot to be a part of their company lineup. Or the developer of this bot to work for them. Changing his attention he came to the reception desk and told the employee there that he was here for a meeting.

The girl called the related people and told the man to take the elevator and go to the 9th floor. The man nodded and followed the directions. This man was middle-aged, with sharp eyes and a slightly hooked nose.

Yurika stood waiting for the man near the elevator. She saw him coming out, and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Daniel, the president is waiting for you. Please follow me."

The man nodded and followed Yurika. On the way, his gaze wandered on places it should not. The girl was unaware of this wolf-eyed man. She came to the conference hall and pushed open the door. She said, "Dao, Mr. Daniel from Mecha-Tech is here for you."

Daniel calmed his raging testosterone and walked in with a serious look on his face. Yang Dao sat in the head position reading some documents. He raised his head and said, "Hello, welcome to do technologies. Please have a seat, Mr. Daniel."

The man sat down and said, "You have a nice place here, Mr. Dao." with a smile on his face.

The boy put down the paper and said in a cold voice, "I would appreciate it more if you called me with my last name. Dao is not something everyone is eligible to call me."

Daniel froze for a bit and then gave an awkward laugh. He said, "I apologize, Mr. Feng. I come here to propose a collaboration between our two companies."

The reason he had to talk about it first was to dispel the awkwardness Yang dao created by his stern remark. The boy asked, "What is your proposal?"

The man said, "I propose to buy out the development rights of your bot Robo-Aid for the next five years. In return, we offer you the sales right of our exoskeleton, Xr-9t for a similar period. what do you say?"

Yang Dao put down the documents in his hands and gazed at the man with a poker face. After a few seconds of silence, he said, 'Do you take me for a child, Mr. Daniel? My company has no intention to dabble with Exoskeletons at this moment. Also, the product you are offering me to sell for you is a defected half-assed effort of the arrogant researchers on your country.

In the past six months since the production of this model, your company has faced 8 lawsuits and all of which you lost. The reason was the long-term adverse effects. Should I read it in detail?"

His words made the middle-aged man surprised. he did not expect this kid to be so well prepared. Yang Dao actually found stuff from hacking the Mecha-tech servers. Daniel was not to give up so soon. he said, "Look, President Feng. I will be clear with you. We at Mecha-tech need this bot of yours. You can name a price and sell the rights. Or I can just go to the developer of this bot herself."

Yang Dao smiled and said, "You cryptonians all lack patience. Do you not? You are so overconfident of yourself that you waltz inside my office with no homework. The developer of the bot is Frieda Foster, while I am the one who assisted it. I have my name on the patent certificate as well. I have published the whole design for the world to read but can you actually make it?

Try it, and I will sue you and your company for all that you are worth. Second, "Frieda Foster is an employee of my company. You can go and try if she agrees, but I warn you. If anything happened to her, even if it is a scratch, you will be held responsible. I will have you and your company on my plates for dinner."

His words scared the shit out of this person in front of him. he had no idea that this kid can actually do something like this but he was aware that the other party is not easy. Behind him stood Feng Yun who can actually have his company crumbled and cribbed. With no results, he left the Dao technologies.
