I am weak and friendly

Chapter 197 Hello everyone, my name is Stoka

On the 18th floor of Qihang Building, in the Qihang press conference hall, Lu Mingyuan, the founder and boss of Linghai Technology, was standing happily at the entrance of the press conference hall, chatting with the building's property manager.

"Mr. Lu, congratulations! You've finally overcome all your hardships!" The property manager was a slightly overweight man in his fifties with a round buzz cut. He said, "I remember the last time so many reporters came was several years ago."

"Not at all, it's still early..." Lu Mingyuan waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "It's just that everyone is being too kind and giving us a little attention..."

But the smug and smug expression on his face was impossible to hide.

The Qihang Press Conference Hall is the largest press conference hall in the Qihang Building, and renting it is not cheap. However, there were too many reporters this time, and the conference room on the 8th floor could not accommodate so many people, so we had no choice but to rent it.

Fortunately, in the past two years, fewer and fewer companies can afford to rent a press conference hall. In previous years, it could be rented to micro-business owners, but now even micro-business owners can't afford it, which has led to a significant drop in the rental price of the press conference hall. Although it hurt Lu Mingyuan's wallet, he still gritted his teeth and rented it.

However, seeing the increasing number of reporters, he became a little worried: "Why are there so many people? Are all of them reporters? There weren't this many reporters who contacted us initially!"

“Our colleagues are waiting downstairs. Some have invitations, some are from well-known media outlets, and they have work badges, so we let them in… There are also some internet celebrities who are obviously trying to gain attention, and I had the security guards stop them…” the property manager said. “Otherwise, I’m afraid this hall wouldn’t be able to hold them all. Mr. Lu, your company is really impressive. You’ve been holding press conferences with this kind of high profile for quite some time now.”

"This can hardly be called a press conference... it's just an interview..." Lu Mingyuan said, suddenly feeling a little guilty.

With such a big fuss, aren't you really going to hold a press conference?
The "Diting" press conference seemed pretty good?
But... I didn't prepare anything!

He looked around and saw Bao Ge beside him, so he quickly waved to Bao Ge and said, "Go and ask Abanping and the others if they can prepare something and put on a decent press conference..."

"Huh? Start preparing now?" Bao Ge was dumbfounded. "There's less than half an hour left, isn't that too late..."

"Yes... I'm afraid it's too late... but you should still go and ask, just in case they were prepared."

"Okay...okay, I'll go ask." Bao Ge turned and ran off.

Looking at Bao Ge's back, Lu Mingyuan suddenly felt that if it were a press conference, he should go on stage and say a few words.
He touched his collar somewhat insecurely. He usually wore a suit and tie, but for some reason, he couldn't find his tie today.

This made him feel like he was wearing something incomplete, and he lacked confidence even when standing.

Strange, where did my tie go?
he thinks.

Then I saw Brother Bao rushing back.

"I told them, and they said it was no problem and we could release the Listening skill directly," Bao Ge said cheerfully.

He hadn't seen his company in such a grand state for many, many years.

He asked, "Mr. Lu, is our company about to take off again?"

"We can't say it's taking off yet...we can't be too sure, we can't be too sure." Lu Mingyuan was grinning from ear to ear. "Let's not think about that too much right now, let's just hope that this press conference goes smoothly."

“Yes, yes, yes!” Brother Bao nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, don't stay here. Go back and check how things are going with Brother Abanping and the others. Is there anything they can help with? If they need help, find more people to help them."

"Okay, I'm going right now." Bao Ge turned around and ran off again.

Bao Ge took the elevator to the 8th floor. As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw Ban Ge and Tang Yiping, master and apprentice, sitting next to a vending machine eating expired snacks.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Ban...Ban-ge, Ping-ge, why aren't you two preparing the PPT for the press conference? Why are you sitting here?"

"Uh..." The master and apprentice were completely taken aback when Bao Ge came down.

They looked at each other, and then Ban said, "Uh...we're getting ready."

Is this how you prepare?
Bao Ge glanced at the master and apprentice who were bored out of their minds, then looked at the closed "Special Projects Department" and gave them a look that said, "I'm not blind, don't try to fool me."

"That's right, we've brought in outside help, and there are people inside assisting us."

"They've called in outside help?" Bao Ge asked skeptically, heading towards the office door, when he heard Tang Yiping and Ban Ge shout in unison, "Don't go!"

"What's wrong? I'm checking if our foreign player needs any help," Bao Ge said. "Uh, our foreign player doesn't like being watched while he's working."

Bao Ge: "???"

I have a feeling that something is wrong.

"Can it really work?" Bao Ge was a little uneasy. "Let's leave everything to the foreign aid..."

"No problem, no problem!" Tang Yiping reassured him.

Have faith in Stoka's abilities!
If you give him a room where no one can see him, Stoka can unleash his limitless potential!

These are cattle and horses!

Tang Yiping pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Come on over, Brother Bao, you've been running around for so long, sit down and rest for a while."

"Here, have some snacks," said the older brother, handing over a bag of snacks.

"Eat this, it's only three years past its expiration date."

"???" Bao Ge sat down on the sofa, a little confused. He ate some snacks. For a moment, he was in a daze and went back to the time before he became a manager. Back then, the company was thriving, the management was not strict, the benefits were good, and everyone could sit in the reception area, eat snacks and chat.

But he was immediately brought back to reality.

“Even if someone helped with the PPT, aren’t you going to be on stage later, Brother Ban? Why aren’t you working on your speech?” Bao Ge said. “And why did you change out of your suit?”

“Uh…” Ban looked down at himself and said, “We also invited outside help for the press conference…”

Bao Ge: "???"

"Don't worry, Brother Bao, nothing will go wrong!" Tang Yiping said. "You should hurry up and help President Lu. He definitely can't handle it all by himself."

After much persuasion, they finally managed to get Brother Bao to leave.

Bao Ge returned to the 18th floor to help maintain order and guide the guests. After finally getting the situation under control, it was time to leave.

When Lu Mingyuan stepped onto the stage, he saw a sea of ​​people and all sorts of cameras below, and for a moment he was a little flustered.

Is it okay for Brother Ban to go on stage later...?

But at this point, let's trust him.

He composed himself, said a few simple words as an opening, and then said, "Next, we will be launching Linghai Technology's brand new product. Listen up! Please welcome the spokesperson from our Special Projects Department..."

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Lu Mingyuan paused, then said, "Uh..."

Because he saw a dog walk onto the stage from the side.

It was a husky that didn't look very purebred; it wasn't wearing a leash, but rather a tie.

It came to Lu Mingyuan's side and bowed to the audience.

Then he said, "Hello everyone, I'm Stoka."

The thunderous applause ceased, and the audience fell silent.

Lu Mingyuan suddenly felt that the tie looked familiar...

Wait, isn't this my tie?
