Yang Dao raised his hand and pointed at the elevator. Frieda walked out of the elevator with a notebook in her hands and behind her followed a Midget humanoid. The people were shocked and they could not help but suck in a cold breath.
The humanoid was now white in color with a blue smiley face lit up on the LED screen face. The movement was crisp and fluid. Like a teen walking behind everyone. Frieda came over and stepped behind the reception counter. She set up the notebook there and asked Debbie, "Madam, can I have your spot for a few minutes please?"
Who was Debbie to refuse the legendary Frieda Foster? Okay, without exaggeration, Freida was still, an upper echelon. She hurriedly walked to the side and stood outside the frame. Neo did not go behind the counter but stood next to Yang Dao.
The Dao Child smiled and said, "Neo, you see the guests? Introduce yourself to them."
Neo replied to him with a nod and turned to face the press reporters. The robot said, "Hello everyone. I am Neo, I am a house care robot designed by Dao technologies. I am capable of babysitting, monitoring household,s and also, medical assistance. I have a storage capacity of one hundred terabytes. My operating system details are confidential. I am very pleased to meet you."
The smiley emoticon on the LED screen turned from blue to green. The reporters were silent. A guy whispered, "Are we watching a movie?"
Someone sitting beside him gave him a hard pinch making him yell. The man beside him said, "It is real."
Their voice was like a stone pelted on a beehive and it made the reporters swarm. The people with cameras were moving their pictures like a high-performance race car engine. The mics were all pointed at Yang Dao. The boy was calm and had a faint professional smile on his face.

He said, "Calm down. One by one, please." his voice calmed the beehive.
he pointed at a half-bald man. The person stood up and asked, "President Feng, is this bot capable of free chat with the owner. Or will the interaction remain content with the field of work?"
Yang Dao smiled and said, "It can hold a free conversation. However, the content is limited."
Then he pointed and a lady in a brown formal shirt. The lady asked, "Sir, can you talk about the battery life and what is the material used for manufacturing the body?"
Yang Dao nodded and with patience, he told them that the body was made up of carbon fiber to keep it lightweight and sturdy. The internal skeleton was made of aluminum and steel allow, the limb movement is powered by a network of four independent brushless motors. The chest and the back area of the robot are fixed with lithium-ion batteries containing a charge of fifty thousand MaH.
The people were dumbfounded when they heard such specifications. Still, the bot came with wireless charging, three years of free maintenance, and the capability to alarm emergency services based on the emergency faced by the human master.
The bot was not good at protecting and monitoring others but itself as well. It was capable of sending a direct feed to the company in case it was abused by the owner. Trying to hack into the programming of the bot will also cause the person to be blacklisted from the Dao Technologies database.
The people started asking more complicated questions regarding the mechanical mechanism of the bot and Yang Dao said with a bitter smile, "That is what Senior Frieda is responsible for. So, you can have a piece of her mind now."

Frieda faintly smiled and replied to the questions she was asked about. She did not expose any of the programming details of the bot at all. You have to say that this girl had a high IQ. She avoided the questions with ease.
Finally, someone was unable to hold it within and asked, "President Feng, will you give us a demonstration of the skills of this bot as well?"
Yang Dao had put his products on public demonstration and they were all bought out because of this as well.
The boy heard the question and said, "Why not? Would sir mind volunteering?"
The reporter was stunned but he quickly regained his composure and nodded. Then he walked forward and stood in front of Yang Dao. The two shook hands and the Dao Child said, "Neo, scan this gentleman for any medical discomforts."
The bot stepped forward and held out his hand to the man as it said, 'Sir, may I ask you to move your hand forward? I need to check your pulse."
The man did not hesitate and extended his hand forward. This person was wearing a full sleeve shirt and his wrist was covered with the cuffs of the shirt. Neo glanced at his wrist and asked, "Sir, will it be okay to open your cuff? The cloth can obstruct the reading?"
The reporter asked, "Can you not take it like this?" his question was obviously to find flaws, after all, nothing is perfect. The bot replied, "I can try to take the reading like this. Today is my first day, so i am anxious."
The voice tone also changed to match that of a nervous mood. The reporters smiled at this humourous bot. Yang Dao raised his eyebrow because even he did not know what has Ralf did to the bot. however, it was a good thing. The bot placed its fingertips over the cuff and took the reading. After one minute the bot said, "Sir, you can try having a glass of warm water and try to relax. Your pulse is alleviated, it is not good for your heart. Would you like to prescribe you something?"
The man nodded and the robot said, "Buddhist scriptures, three times a day can help you calm down and easy on viagra."
The people were shocked and the man asked, "How do you know that I have taken Viagra?"
The bot replied, "You have a packet sticking out of your pocket."
The man was stunned and looked down, he found nothing and the bot said, "I am joking. Hahaha." in his bot voice.
The other people laughed and so did the targetted person, he would have spewed out the water if he had any in his mouth. The man could not help but say, "President Feng, you sure made a funny one this time."
Yang Dao passed him a smile as well. The bot continued to take pulse readings and it was a hit amongst the press. Now the company only had to wait for the announcement broadcast from the media and TADA. Neo will be a household name.
