Arasaka Tower, the city of the night.

Board of Directors.

Michiko Arasaka suddenly proposed to let Tang Yu concurrently serve as the deputy director of the Special Operations Department, which surprised everyone inside and outside the venue.

One person concurrently serves as two deputy ministers, which has never happened in the history of Arasaka.

Susan Abernathy was taking a sip of her cup of coffee when she almost choked on the offer when she heard the offer.

He was suspended for three months, but he wanted Tang Yu to concurrently serve as the deputy minister of the two departments?

This one is too obvious.

She immediately guessed Michiko Arasaka's intentions and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the opposition and win over the counterintelligence services.

If Tang Yu really succeeds in getting the position of deputy director of the Special Operations Department, he will naturally be grateful to Michiko Arasaka.

Tang Yu borrowed Jenkins as a springboard to climb the high branches of the Arasaka family.

In the future, with the experience of dual departments, there is a high probability that he will be promoted to the position of director.

I don't know why.

Susan Abernathan was not in the least worried about the threat posed by Jenkins' promotion.

On the contrary, Tang Yu is more likely to become a rising star, and even replace his director.

Although she also has a relationship at the Arasaka headquarters, the distant water can't save the near fire.

And so on.

Michiko Arasaka's say in Night City will only grow.

Tang Yu, as the lone wolf in the Arasaka Company, is suitable for Michiko Arasaka.

The members of the board of directors can also perceive the real intention behind the promotion of Tang Yu.

Among the board members, those who stand in the Michiko Arasaka faction basically maintain the default proposal.

Those whose interests have not been damaged are still waiting to see which direction the wind will blow.

Only the board member in charge of the Special Operations Department, Abnathy's immediate superior, spoke out on the matter.

"I don't think it's appropriate to be a double minister at the same time"

"The nature of the work of the two departments is completely different, and the work content is complicated, how can one person take care of it?"

"I propose to re-elect a new one in the Special Operations Department, and promote someone with seniority and ability"

Michiko Arasaka didn't bother to argue with him, and she didn't even look at him.

The members of the board of directors of their own faction understood the intention and bluntly refuted it.

"Promoted from the Special Operations Department? Do you still want to put on today's show? ”

"In my opinion, the Special Operations Department has received a lot of funds in the past few years, but it has not done much work, and its thoughts are used to deal with colleagues?"

"Didn't the Special Operations Department rush to snatch food from the Counterintelligence Department this time?"

"I still have a little impression of Tang Yuke, he was on a mission at the border not long ago, and was ordered to be transferred back by Abernathy, do you still want to turn over this old account?"

Obviously, regarding the transfer of Tang Yu back to the Arasaka Tower, the Komichiko faction had done their homework in advance in private.

Another member of the board of directors continued to add: "One person concurrently serves as two ministers, which can just play a role in the middle of the balance and coordination, so as not to make the Special Operations Department look too ugly"

"What's more, without Tang Yu's support, the Special Operations Department may be completely planted this time."

As soon as this remark came out.

The other board members also said no more, no matter how much they argued about this matter today, the fault lies with the Special Operations Department.

Even if the minutes of the meeting were sent to headquarters and presented to Saburo Arasaka for inspection, it was still the Special Operations Department that was punished.

Engaging in small actions within the company and killing many Arasaka special agents is not perfunctory in a few words.

Michiko Arasaka stared coldly until the dissenting board member gradually bowed his head and said nothing.

"If you don't agree, I can immediately contact the Kyoto headquarters and ask Saburo-sama to decide the matter."

"It's just that when the time comes, things won't be so simple"

One mention of Saburo Arasaka.

The venue was suddenly silent, and no one raised a voice of opposition.

Final word.

Seeing that the board members acquiesced in the proposal, Michiko Arasaka made a decision on behalf of the board of directors in public.

After confirming that there is no objection.

Michiko Arasaka was so proud that she directly announced the dismissal of the meeting and took the lead in leaving the table, and the bodyguards on both sides immediately followed.

The board officially closed this morning.

Soon.

Regarding the internal theft of secrets, which led to significant losses in the operation, the board of directors announced the decision to deal with it.

In the more than 100-story office building of Arasaka Tower, various departments and centers are announcing this decision.

Susan Abernathy, Director of Special Operations, was suspended for three months and fined 24 months, for a responsibility review to the Board and an internal review to the Special Operations Division.

The head of the Special Operations Department is responsible for the above responsibilities and punishment decisions, and the Special Operations Department is collectively fined for six months.

When the employees on all floors of the Arasaka Tower heard the latest announcement, they were all surprised.

The extremely powerful Special Operations Department was punished in such eyes.

At this time.

Arasaka Tower 33 floors.

The workers of the Counterintelligence Department at the scene put down their work one after another and looked at the announcement.

This year, an additional six-month salary will be awarded, Minister Arthur Jenkins will be awarded for meritorious service, and Tang Yu will also serve as the deputy director of the Special Operations Department.

Tang Yu sat in Jenkins' office, watching the board's agenda online.

As for the news of being the deputy minister of the dual departments, it has not yet been fully digested.

Rao was a far-sighted man, and he didn't expect Michiko Arasaka to play this trick.

Tang Yu remained calm and did not get carried away by the sudden reuse.

Jenkins withdrew from the live connection, turned to look at Tang Yu, and clapped heavily and smiled.

"Good! This board meeting was very good for me! ”

"Don, you showed your face on the board of directors this time, and Miss Michiko has a good impression of you."

"You must know that among so many high-level people in the Arasaka Tower, she is the only one with the surname Arasaka"

"With her attention, your career has many more possibilities"

Tang Yu spread his hand a little helplessly: "Miss Michiko, this is roasting me on the fire"

Jenkins saw that his expression was indifferent, and he did not show that he was about to be promoted, and he was secretly satisfied in his heart.

"Don't talk about frustration, how many people in the whole company want to be roasted like this, do they have the ability?"

"You are the only deputy minister in the entire Arasaka Tower who has served as the deputy minister of two important departments, and the promotion signal is already obvious"

"And it's Miss Michiko who named you, whoever dares to oppose you is against the Arasaka family"

"So don't worry too much, even if the Special Operations Department deliberately targets you, they will hide their hands and feet"

"Otherwise, if you are caught again, it will not be as simple as suspension"

Jenkins paced to the cellar, pulled out two thick-soled glasses, and poured a rare amount of his favorite whiskey.

The aroma of the wine is full-bodied, and the brown and red wine has just filled a third of the glass.

This kind of precious spirit, two sips are almost red-faced.

"Come, sit down here and talk"

Jenkins beckoned and asked Tang Yu to sit in the reception area, on a black soft leather sofa.

Tang Yu got up, took the whiskey from Jenkins, and sat down on the sofa seat alone.

Jenkins walked to the main seat with his wine glass, sat comfortably, and then cocked Erlang's legs, gently shaking the toes of his leather shoes from time to time, and the uppers were shiny.

Jenkins picked up his glass and smiled in congratulations.

"Don, congratulations on your appointment as Deputy Minister of Special Operations"

"Became the first double vice manager of Arasaka Company"

The two toasted to each other.

The wine was stuffy.

My throat is spicy.

Jenkins smiled.

Tang Yu also smiled.
