Chapter Seventy-Two: The First Commission
Gloria was sitting in front of the electronic mirror, twisting the eyebrow knife to slightly modify her eyebrows.
In order to find a new job, she deliberately put on some light makeup today.
She has slept enough in the past few days, and the haggard tiredness in the corners of her eyes has dissipated a lot.
Gloria lowered her brow knife and patted her cheek in the mirror, then tried to squeeze out a smile.
She had been waiting at home for a few days, but she had not waited for the news she wanted to wait for, and she felt that it was important to find a job first.
I finally saved some money and paid all the money to Arasaka Academy to make up for the losses caused by David.
In the future, there will be many places to use money for rent, water and electricity, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After leaving the public health center, there was not much buffer time left for her.
Gloria removed the yellow cyberjacket overalls from the hanger hook, and found that the cuffs and collar were a little worn and faded.
This work clothes are strong and wear-resistant, and can be worn as daily work clothes without the logo of the previous work unit.
She smoothed the folds of her coat and draped it over her shoulders, and her two slender jade hands drilled through the sleeves of her coat, shaking, still loose and fitting.
"It's a little old, it's good to be easy to work"
After changing her clothes, Gloria prepares to go out when she suddenly receives a letter.
She turned her eyes to examine the letter.
Mr. Tang?
Gloria's breathing tightened slightly, click to view.
"Mr. Tang is coming to me again?"
She didn't expect that Tang Yu, who had not been in contact for a few days, would suddenly propose to meet today, and chose to be at her house.
The point is that the other party will be there in half an hour.
This caught Gloria off guard, and the foot that had just stepped out of the door was immediately retracted.
She looked back and found that the house had not been cleaned up, and the tables, sofas, and floors were in a mess.
Personal laundry had just been taken out of the dryer and scattered in his bedroom.
She panicked.
Gloria covered her head and thought about it, it was important to reply to Tang Yu's message first.
"Roger, I'm waiting at home..."
The words were displayed, but she felt that something was wrong, and it felt weird.
hurriedly deleted it, and only replied with two words.
"Received"
After replying to the message, Gloria hurried up and returned to the house to start cleaning and tidying up.
The last time Tang Yu came to the house as a guest, he didn't have time to prepare because David was sick.
Today, David has gone to the academy for class, and it is not yet out of school, and he is still making such a mess at home alone, so that outsiders can see it and tell jokes.
Gloria didn't want to make a bad impression on Tang Yu.
Especially after Ember agreed to that incident, she felt more and more unbalanced in the face of Tang Yu.
A company executive, a lifesaver, and perhaps even her future benefactor.
The extremely unequal status of the two sides made her, who has always been strong and independent, have to soften her temperament.
Gloria's mind was a mess, and she stuffed her clothes into the closet and closed the bedroom door.
Clean out the garbage in the living room and hurriedly wipe down the sofa and table.
Then he walked to the electronic mirror screen, looked at his face again, and confirmed that it was normal.
Open the door and go downstairs to greet the incoming guests.
Gloria stood under the skyscraper, looking at both sides of the road from time to time.
Several Arasaka company cars passed in front of her, but they all drove by in a hurry and did not stop.
Suddenly, in the distance on the right side of the road, she spotted a somewhat familiar figure, full in a black suit, with a steady gait, which looked out of place with the street dress around Santo Domingo.
Street culture pervades Santo Domingo, and it's rare for a company employee in a suit or leather to walk the streets.
When the figure gradually approached, Gloria confirmed that it was Tang Yu, and unlike last time, he put on a pair of black-framed glasses, adding a bit of literary atmosphere.
Gloria waved her hand and signaled her position.
When Tang Yu saw the fiery red ponytail and the bright yellow jacket, he recognized that it was Gloria waving at him.
The two soon converged.
Gloria was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "Mr. Tang, today is really a bit sudden, and there is nothing to entertain at home."
"If you don't mind, we can go out and talk to another place"
Tang Yu had been alone once before, and he was familiar with the road and walked straight towards the skyscraper.
"Don't break the bank, I'm going to come to you this time"
"At this point, David hasn't gotten out of school yet."
Gloria nodded: "David eats in the academy cafeteria at noon and doesn't come back until school in the afternoon"
"That's okay, this matter is more urgent, let's get down to business first"
The two returned to the apartment, Tang Yu looked at it slightly, and it was not much different from last time.
He walked over to the couch and sat down, looking sideways to see Gloria taking a wine glass from the cupboard.
"Don't drink, let's get down to business first"
When Gloria heard this, she hurriedly stuffed the glass back in, closed the cabinet door, and walked to the opposite sofa and sat down.
Tang Yu directly took out the micro separation chip and handed it over.
Gloria got up slightly and took it with both hands, trying to be polite as much as possible, seeing that the other party's expression was normal, her mood calmed down a little.
"You check the chip content first"
Gloria inserts a microchip into a bioneural slot, and the prosthetic eye presents the relevant information.
[Name: Riley Hine]
[Identity: Valentino gang member]
[Contents: Disappeared eight days ago, appeared in Watson District on the last night...]
Gloria quickly finished reading the chip, and her face couldn't help but become serious.
"The members of the Valentino gang, who appeared in Watson District on the last night, if they can't be contacted, they may have been maliciously kidnapped, could it be related to the Vortex Gang?"
Tang Yu explained: "What you say is possible, the commission is to find Riley Hine"
"The Valentino gang has been looking for him for a few days, whether it is a hacker network search or a field search, but no clues have been found"
"It's inconvenient for me to meddle in this matter, you can find a way to solve it"
As he spoke, Tang Yu transferred 30,000 euros from his electronic account to Gloria.
Gloria received the funds for the operation, but she didn't expect the 'middleman' cooperation to begin.
Simple, straightforward, and straightforward.
She quickly reacted from surprise: "I understand, time limit requirements? ”
"As soon as possible, whether it is life or death, there must be a result"
In fact, it was very simple for Tang Yu to call on the power of the Arasaka Company to investigate this matter.
He entrusted Gloria mainly to give her a chance, a chance to show herself.
If she grasps it, she proves that she is qualified to be a real 'middleman'.
In addition, when the company's strength is called, a record of the case will be kept.
This matter was asked by Jack privately, and Tang Yu didn't want to attract the attention of some people in the company.
So, it's just right to entrust it to Gloria.
After receiving the task and collecting the funds for the operation, Gloria solemnly promised that she would do her best to fulfill the commission.
Tang Yu knew that Gloria had a certain connection, and through her identity as an emergency technician in a public medical center, she resold prosthetics and met Mann and other cyberpunks.
But the real 'middleman' is actually divided into forces, and if Gloria wants to make her official debut, she has to be recognized by the Taoist.
Tang Yu has to make her first appearance and prop up the scene that the middleman should have.
