Arasaka Tower.

Thirty-three floors of the Counterintelligence Department.

Tang Yu leaned back in the office chair and drank tea while browsing the information that had not been read this morning.

[According to the annual report provided by Night City Perspective, Arasaka College has been ranked first among Night City secondary education institutions for the fourth time in a row, and although the journal's advertising revenue comes mainly from the college's eponymous company, the editorial team insists that the economic cooperation between the two parties will not have any impact on the rankings.] 】

[In addition, the high dropout rate is still one of the distinctive features of Arasaka Academy, which makes children face great pressure, inevitably produces anxiety and depression, and even leads to suicides in some cases, and in terms of proportion, this phenomenon is especially obvious among non-company children]

Tang Yu found that Arasaka Academy still had that lofty attitude, and he also regarded students as three, six, nine, and so on in the academy.

The children of Arasaka company executives belong to the first class, the children of other company executives belong to the second class, and the remaining students are counted as third class.

Third-class students not only have to pay a huge amount of tuition, but also have to donate money to the college board in order to be eligible for admission.

Tang Yu suddenly thought of David Martinez, who was still studying at Arasaka Academy.

"I'm afraid that stinky boy is the only one, and he is considered a real ninth"

He knows that studying at Arasaka Academy is not only based on personal strength, but also on family background.

David is about to graduate at the age of seventeen, and his mother is only earning hard-earned money at the bottom of Night City, and his stubborn personality does not meet the children of those executives.

Those children of executives naturally looked down on him, and if David was soft to please them, he would naturally not be targeted like this, but in this way, he would lose the most precious thing in his life, the youthful heart.

Even if such a person is bullied and lives against walls everywhere, at least he has fought against fate in life and lived his own wonderful life.

Tang Yu called up David's transcript to check, and unexpectedly found that his written test scores in all subjects were not bad, but his score in the comprehensive practice link was very low, and he guessed that it was related to his embarrassing equipment.

"It's kind of interesting to be able to mix like this at Arasaka Academy."

Tang Yu not only saw the real situation in the academy in David's Sims, but was bullied by the children of company executives such as Katsuo Tanaka, and was forced to sell his kidney to save his mother, and struggled to support him at Arasaka Academy for his mother's wishes.

All in all.

It can be seen that David is a person who thinks about others, but fate often likes to play jokes on the poor.

"A person with a temperament like this will become a madman if he doesn't become a legend"

Tang Yu made a final evaluation.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and searched through the company's intranet again, and what came into his sight was an entry related to Arasaka's social practice before he closed his course.

Tang Yu clicked on a few random checks and found that David would soon need to complete the three-month social practice before graduation.

"Looks like this kid is in trouble again"

While scrolling through the endless entries, he received a message from Gloria, clicking on it to see that it was an invitation to dinner, and the location was the Ember Nightclub in the Valley area of the Civic Center.

Ember is also one of the places where Tang Yu used to check in in the past, and there is no difference between the familiar ones and his own home.

As a well-known high-end leisure and entertainment venue in Night City, Ember operates businesses including restaurants, nightclubs, bars, hotels, and leisure centers.

The problem is that Ember's consumption level is not low, and Gloria's invitation to eat at such an expensive restaurant is indeed full of sincerity for her.

In addition, Tang Yu noticed that a photo was attached to the bottom of the invitation.

Click to view.

The photo shows Gloria and David sitting at the Ember dining bar.

But what surprised Tang Yu was that Gloria, who has always been simple and capable, did not wear the bright yellow cyber jacket overalls in the photo, but wore a red long-tailed silk skirt, the skirt was dark red and gradually darkened, the bright red curly hair naturally hung down to the root of the ear, the delicate cheeks were slightly powdered, and she looked at the camera with a light smile.

Whether it is an elegant figure or a mature temperament, she looks like a noble red lady, mature and dignified, impeccable.

David, who was standing next to Gloria, was wearing a full black suit with helplessness written on his face.

Tang Yu thought it was just a light meal, but he didn't expect Gloria to prepare so grandly, which made it a little difficult for him.

He put away the information on the computer screen, deleted all browsing history, turned off the computer, got up and took a trench coat and hurried out of the office.

When passing by the office area, he saw Carter sitting at his office desk on the phone, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and his face immediately became serious.

"Mr. Carter Smith!"

directly frightened Carter, and quickly hung up the phone and stood up, and the smile on his face turned into an embarrassing smile.

"Pay attention to the impact during work hours, before twelve o'clock tonight, I want to see your investigation results lying in my mailbox intact and quietly"

Carter hurriedly nodded: "I understand!" ”

After Tang Yu finished explaining, he strode to the elevator room, and after a while, he took the elevator to the main hall on the first floor of Arasaka Tower.

Even when it was dinner time, the entire Arasaka Tower was still intertwined, and the staff in Arasaka uniforms came and went, busy making phone calls, making reports, checking documents, and some were busy expanding their social circles, gathering in groups to whisper.

Tang Yu walked out of the Arasaka Tower and stood on the side of the road around the company square, and saw that there was still plenty of time, and the distance was not far, so he decided to walk to the Ember Nightclub.

The Heywood Valley area is located in close proximity to the Civic Center, and the Valley area is no more than a twenty-minute walk south from Company Square.

The style and people living in this area of Heywood are the most obvious differences in the entire Night City, and it can be said that the environment of the whole area is like a cloud of mud, and the contrast between rich and poor and dirty is everywhere.

The wealthiest area of the Heywood North Valley is home to not only top-notch green parks like Reconciliation Square, but also political institutions like the Municipal Hall and the NCPD Center, as well as a central business district with upscale shopping venues like Ember Nightclubs and Jinguji Temple.

The situation in the south is not optimistic, full of slums and gangs of all kinds of entertainment venues, this is the sphere of influence of the Valentino gang and the Six Street gang, beer sells well throughout Heywood, basketball, billiards, bullet machines, game halls, dance halls, boxing halls and other entertainment projects are almost full.

Tang Yu's good brother Jack is a native of the south of Heywood, and most of the impression labels given to Heywood people are righteous and affectionate.

However, due to the intensive development of the valley area, most of the Heywood locals have moved to the southern Schönbrunn and Lijing scenic areas.

Tang Yu walked on the most prosperous commercial street in Night City, the pedestrians coming and going were brightly dressed, and all kinds of rare metal high-grade prostheses were dazzling and dazzling under the blue neon lights, and he sighed a little.

"It's no wonder that the scavenger's favorite thing to do is to hide in the dark corners of the valley and quietly admire the pedestrians on the street, after all, these are walking Oginna."

Soon.

Tang Yu came to the main entrance of the Ember Nightclub Building, entered through the revolving glass door of the hotel, and immediately a waiter stepped forward to greet the guide, reported Gloria's name, and took the elevator upstairs under the guidance of the waiter.

As soon as Tang Yu stepped into the high-end dining area of the Ember Nightclub, his eyes fell on the red-haired beauty in a red dress by the floor-to-ceiling window not far from the piano, she gently supported her chin and looked out the window at the evening scene, next to her was David in a black suit.

Tang Yu handed the windbreaker jacket in his hand to the waiter, then ordered two Wizard of Oz cocktails and a juice drink, and at the same time opened his electronic account to the waiter for password-free payment.

After finishing it, Tang Yu tidied up the corners of his suit and walked towards the place where the red lady was.
