The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 36
Advertisement
Mary knocked on the door, Feng Yun, who was busy with sorting out some reports, said, "Come in."
Yang Dao was busy reading a research paper on clean energy. Yes, if others saw this 16-year-old guy calculating these things. They will be shocked and also ridicule him for acting like a genius. Mary entered the room and said in a low voice, "President Feng, the bosses of Goldberg Consortium, Fahrenheit Infratech, Aspire Finance, and Bay-Mach Engineering are down in the reception hall. They all said that you invited them. Feng Yun glanced at the watch tied to her wrist.
She glanced at Yang Dao, who was scribbling something on a piece of paper. He sensed her gaze and said, "It's up to you, Sister Yun, don't glance at me like that. You are the big boss here..." he did not raise his head. Feng Yun shook her head with a smile and spoke to Mary, "Call them all to the cafeteria."
Mary nodded and walked out of the cabin. In her mind, a cyclone was raging, "President Feng actually looked at this young boy for a decision. Also, she put on make-up today. I'll be damned, we are going to have a colorful spring in the company." she was happy to see the subtle changes in Feng Yun. As someone who has followed Feng Yun for a long time, she always worried about her. Putting all this aside, she rushed down the tower to bring the visitors to the cafeteria.
Feng Yun asked the people to mask Yang Dao's identity. She was not afraid that they would backstab her or leak the information outside. Because these people were all from a force trained by one familiar Yang Dao had not met yet. They were all loyal to death and would die before betraying the forces behind them.
As Mary rushed down, Feng Yun stood up and said, "Young Master, let's go. Time to eat."
Yang Dao nodded and picked up the paper he was scribbling on. He smiled at Feng Yun and said, "Let's have a nice bowl of chicken noodle and a burger with clear blueberry soda."
Feng Yun nodded with a smile. Yang Dao was a foodie who would eat things based on his impulse. She liked his spontaneity. The two walked to the cafeteria, smiling and chatting. Yang Dao showed Feng Yun the piece of paper he was scribbling on, stunning the beauty. This piece was a plan he came up with to do business with these big-shots.
The two people reached the cafeteria, smiling and talking. Yang Dao held the door for Feng Yun and bowed slightly. Feng Yun chuckled and walked ahead. Her laughter attracted a lot of attraction from the crowd, or the big-shots. Mary had asked the normal employees to order take away which will be reimbursed by the company as the big shots might talk about something inappropriate for them to hear.

Yang Dao entered the cafeteria behind her. He walked straight to the manager in charge and placed his order. The manager took it down with pleasure, and Yang Dao came back to Feng Yun. Though the beauty in front of him was in 'the cold boss' mode. The two walked up to the bosses who stood some distance away.
Khal Goldberg, a man of tall stature, burly physique, and knotted beard, was the first person to walk forward and greet Feng Yun with a smile on his face. He spoke, "Hello, President Feng. Young Master Feng." Feng Yun put down her name in front of Yang Dao for his cover. The others also came forward to greet and introduced themselves.
Feng Yun nodded and Yang Dao spoke, "You all please sit down." they did not shake hands as Feng Yun never shakes hands with other men.
The people all sat down, Yang Dao spoke first, "I am not someone from the biz world, so allow me to be blunt. Why did you want to have a meal with me?" his calm and composed tone made the visitors nod in approval. Leo Dim, a sneaky-looking man spoke first, "Young Master Feng. First, we would like to apologize to you for any sort of discomfort our offsprings may have caused you. We really don't have words to convey our grievance."
This man was sure a person who dealt with money and stocks all day long. Such eloquence. Yang Dao replied with a smile, "You don't have to be so embarrassed, Boss Dim. I will not be accepting the apology as I have always returned to people as they do to me. Second, I don't need your words as well. I believe actions are always louder than words. Mr. Goldberg, I have to say, that your son, Mikhail Goldberg, is good." his tone was cold and indifferent when he dealt with Leo Dim, but the cold vanished when he addressed Khal Goldberg.
The bearded man smiled and replied, "The reason I asked you for a meal was that I was worried about the evidence President Feng holds against us. That is why I asked for a face-to-face confrontation with you and see what we can do about it. Also, to discuss if we could bask in the light of your glorious company." his tone was calm and polite, and he was about to continue when Feng Yun interrupted, "Mr. Goldberg, do you think that just a meal could help you get rid of your troubles? Do you think, I am unaware of the way you snakes deal with things."

Her remark made the big shots go through a change in their expressions. Feng Yun spoke, "You want to be free? Very well, I will let you be free. First, compensate every single life you have affected throughout your work span with money and a personal apology. After that, I will call you and we will have a chance for a business co-operation." with that said Feng Yun went silent as she was before.
Yang Dao shook his head bitterly inside his mind. The situation was awkward, so he stepped forward. He spoke in a calm and serene tone, "You people, may not know that your actions people will remember when you leave the world. Or maybe you know, but you don't care as you will be already gone. Nature is counting everything you do. The curses and hatred of the people pointed at you. The grace and blessing of you have earned, everything is accounted for and that account will decide the future, not only for you but for your coming generations. As the generations become more unruly, the family will degrade. But if they are disciplined and virtuous, they will flourish. Your forefathers must have been people of strong virtue, thus they gained reputation. Reputation brings prosperity, while the opposite is true for your children. People avoid them like a plague. You all must know, if given a chance, a pedestrian might kill you. But if you had a good reputation, then those same pedestrians will look at you with reverence. They will try to be like you idolize you. How do you think gods came into existence? Is it because of their strength? No, there are demons who are equally strong as the gods. It is their deeds that make them what they are. A human can also be revered like a god, but only if he remembers they are humans. Losing yourself in the bliss of reverence will make you fall from the providence." he paused when he saw that the big shots in front of him were looking at him with eager eyes.
He continued, "You will look outside the window and tell me, what sounds better. Khal Goldberg, the boss of Goldberg consortium, ruined lives for his gain, may he die like a dog or Khal Goldberg, the boss of Goldberg consortium, who changed lives for a better society. May God bless him."
Khal Goldberg's body shook. The answer was apparent in his eyes. Yang Dao spoke, "Those who share happiness will lack nothing. You might think that I am talking non-sense but if your so-called friends and family members are asked if they would choose you or the wealthy. They will choose wealth without hesitation."
Leo Dim had tears in his eye. He spoke in a shivering voice, "Young Master Feng, what you have said is completely correct. My younger brother, whom I grew up with, tried to get me assassinated for the chair I sit in. My son and his son, who should live in harmony, are now hating each other." he couldn't hold on and started crying. The manager of the Cafeteria walked in with two food trays in his hands. Feng Yun gestured him to stop and place the food on a table other than the one they sat at.
Yang Dao said to the emotional men in front of him, "You are all grown-ups but you are also humans. So crying is okay, but what will do after wiping the tears is what important. I will now go to eat. You all should let go of your burdens and then come to join us." Feng Yun and Yang Dao stood up from the table and walked up to their food.
They were at a certain distance and they could see the bosses sobbing. Feng Yun waved her hand and cast a barrier. Then she said, "What was the point in preaching to them?"
Yang dao spoke as he stuffed some noodles in his mouth, "People with authority have burdens on their hearts. These burdens are also what makes them ruthless and cruel. My words worked on them because of the authority they see I hold. If I was a poor orphan, the scene would have been the opposite of what we see today. These words will make them see me as a human and when they subconsciously compare themselves with me. They will want to become human as well. Only when humans unite will they change things. And for that we make these capitalists remember their humanity." his tone was groggy as he was eating.
Before Feng Yun could ask anything he spoke, "No talking when you eat." making the girl chuckle and shake her head as they ate their food contently.
