Chapter 101: Sasha Yakovleva (Thanks to the Klee-chan Alliance)
Following.
The sun is shining.
Gloria rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched, her pajamas instantly tightened, showing her mature curves, and then walked out of the bedroom in a daze.
She yawned, only to find that the living room TV was playing all the time, and David was curled up on the couch, sleeping soundly.
Gloria was a little surprised, David came back quite late last night, but he didn't expect to sleep on the sofa, and he hadn't even changed his shirt.
She walked up to David and called softly, "David? β
David was still asleep, unresponsive.
Gloria felt a little sorry for her son, so she went to the company for an internship and worked so hard, and he came back late almost every day.
"I must be busy working in the company!"
But she also thinks it's worth it, at least David has a chance to enter a big company and not have to work hard at the bottom like she once did.
Fortunately, everything has changed.
Since Tang Yu invited her to be the middleman, everything has been developing for the better.
David gets the opportunity to intern at Arasaka, and she can earn more money to support the small family without having to worry about rent, utilities and other issues.
Gloria picked up the suit jacket that had fallen on the ground and carefully draped it over David.
"Mom?"
Unexpectedly, this small act woke up the sleeping David.
Gloria comforted apologetically, "It's not time to go to work yet, you can sleep a little longer." β
David forced himself to sit up and pat his somewhat puffy face, cheering up.
"Mom, it's okay, I'm going to go early today, there are still a few things that haven't been sorted out, and I can't slow down the progress of the group."
As he spoke, David picked up his blazer and put it on, and began to pack up briefly and prepare for departure.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Gloria had to bring David some breakfast first.
"Today, according to the latest financial reports, NCPD's share price has seen a large-scale sell-off, and the holding index has continued to fall, which may be related to the "Business You and I Talk" program broadcast last night, which disclosed a military technology and NCPD a combat implant trading procurement plan"
The TV was broadcasting the WNS morning news bulletin, and David was immediately attracted by the news content, and his tie stopped halfway through.
Gloria came over with breakfast and turned her head to look at the TV curiously when she saw David watching TV.
"At present, many protesters have gathered in front of the NCPD building to express their dissatisfaction with the procurement incident, and the NCPD has not made any reply statement."
"Mayor Lucius Lane will hold a press conference this morning with the main leaders of the NCPD to explain matters related to the large-scale procurement of the NCPD, and invite the senior management of the Military Science and Technology Liaison Department to attend, according to the Night City Municipal Information Office."
After watching the newscast, Gloria quickly realized that the incident had something to do with her experience yesterday.
Matleo has been used by military technology to become an experimental subject of combat implants, and has been completely exposed to everyone in Night City.
It seems to have caused quite a stir, and since last night, some people have been running out to demonstrate against the inaction of the city at night.
Publicly accusing the NCPD of purchasing experimental combat implants for military technology seriously threatens the safety of urban residents.
In addition, Arasaka's major media are in full swing, and they have burned the fire to the tripartite of military technology, NCPD, and municipal government, believing that they have more secret contacts that no one knows in private.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The protest crowd was so large that it even directly surrounded the NCPD building.
There were also scattered people who ran to the municipal center in the valley area, or under the military science and technology building in the company square, to pull banners and shout slogans to protest what the company had done.
Although these sordid things are not new, they do cause many veterans, street dwellers, and many residents to complain.
Everyone is afraid of cybermaniacs, but they are even more afraid of the terror squad that could turn into cybermaniacs.
Soon, WNS News connected to the NCPD building protest site, and a reporter interviewed a protester.
"Excuse me, what do you think of the Mattleo incident?"
"I see, these companies* are in cahoots with the municipal executives, Lao Tzu has already said that Lucius Lane has already gotten into the eyes of money, including those people in the NCPD, which one has nothing to do with gang members? The night city of grass**, the company of grass** is stupid*. β
After saying that, he also gave a middle finger to the camera, but was immediately cut off and turned back to the studio.
"At present, the NCPD has dispatched police officers and began to forcibly disperse the protesters in an attempt to silence the crowd's voices"
Gloria was shocked, she didn't expect this incident to be so big, it was far beyond her expectations.
At that time, I thought that Tang Yu was looking for Mowell or Mattlio to investigate the matter of the experimental prosthetic body of military technology, just like the military technology Sianweistan, and he could handle it secretly after getting his hands on it.
But from now on, Tang Yu should have directly exposed all the content.
The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and when the time comes, Tang Yu will definitely not be able to escape.
She began to worry a little, would Arasaka choose to deal with him in order to calm things down?
Gloria clenched the breakfast in her hand, a little distracted.
After reading the news, David realized that something big might happen in the company today, and was just about to go to pick up breakfast, but found Gloria stunned.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Hearing David's question, Gloria came back to her senses and hurriedly handed the breakfast in her hand to David and explained.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired for the past two days."
David thought it was strange, Gloria hadn't been as busy as she used to be in the past two days, and she didn't know what she was running outside, but she didn't think much about it, and she rushed to work at the company.
"Okay, Mom, you pay attention to rest, I'll go to work first."
David took his breakfast, walked briskly to the door, changed into leather shoes and hurried out.
In the blink of an eye, Gloria was home alone.
Seeing that David had gone away, she hurriedly began to re-watch the previous news, and only then did she learn about the exposure of "Business You and I Talk" last night.
"It's really half a beat slower, how can you sleep on such a big thing?"
Gloria rubbed her temples a little helplessly, remembering what had happened yesterday.
Yesterday, I ran around with Tang Yu outside, first going to find Mowell, and facing a woman who was about to become a cyber maniac, and I was so nervous that I was sweating.
Then I witnessed a life-and-death fight, and the bloody scene is now terrifying when I think about it.
In the end, he was affected for no reason and suffered a wave of electromagnetic pulse.
The whole person didn't come to his senses, and followed Tang Yu into Deraman, all the way to the viaduct.
Blow up the Six Street Gang, hit the Flying Animal Gang, and start the speeding car chase again after robbing people.
If it weren't for Tang Yu's accurate sniper marksmanship, maybe everyone would have to explain there.
Gloria has worked for so many years, and she has seen a lot of life and death, but it is really the first time compared to this kind of melee.
Blood sickness, electric sickness, motion sickness, etc., the whole process, can you not be confused?
At that time, Tang Yu stayed behind to continue to deal with the follow-up matters, summoned his exclusive company car, and sent Gloria back to the apartment first.
Gloria immediately threw up on the toilet when she got home, and after washing up with dizziness, she changed into clean pajamas, but she was so dizzy that she fell asleep.
I accidentally had a nightmare.
I dreamed that I fell into the deep sea, was besieged by a group of terrible big sharks, and fainted again in the dream.
I didn't have the heart to think about anything else all night, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
Gloria was really shocked after making up last night's news, which is equivalent to so many major events happening in the follow-up, and she didn't even know it.
Her righteous eyes turned, and she hurriedly checked the call message records, but fortunately there were no missed calls from Tang Yu.
Gloria sighed softly: "Alas, it's really difficult to keep up with Mr. Tang's pace."
She walked into the bathroom and rubbed her face with cold water, trying to make herself more sober.
Looking at himself in the electronic mirror screen, his complexion was already much ruddy, and he was unconsciously fat.
She reached out and pinched her face, and sure enough, there were so many lumps.
It's just that thanks to her bone appearance and figure, she doesn't look fat, but a little more curved.
"Is the food getting better?"
Gloria thought about it, it seemed that she was still a few old things, and she didn't eat anything good.
"Maybe I slept more."
There was only one answer she had when she thought about it.
Thanks to Tang Yu's blessing, she hasn't slept so much for a long time that she woke up naturally, in the past, it was David who woke her up from the sofa, but now the two poles are reversed.
Suddenly, she thought of the money she had earned recently, as well as Mann's honorarium, all of which Tang Yu had paid out of Tang Yu's pocket.
"Well, how do you feel like a bloodsucker, and I don't know if Arasaka will be reimbursed for these expenses."
"The two ministers should have a high salary, I really hope that David can be like Mr. Tang one day."
Gloria only felt that her thoughts were in full swing, and she yawned again unconsciously, as if she hadn't slept enough.
Arasaka Tower.
David hurried to the 33rd floor of the Counterintelligence Department, and when he ran to the office area, he found that everyone had already arrived today.
"Is there something big?"
Feeling a little unusual, he cautiously walked to his office and sat down, turned on his office computer, and pretended to stare at the screen, actually eavesdropping on his colleagues.
Fortunately, the colleagues around him are also very familiar with each other, and they did not shy away from him, an intern from outside, and still gossiped about each other.
"The board of directors is going to be held again today, did you read the news yesterday? Tear your face with the building opposite! β
"Why didn't I look at it, I don't know why I suddenly got into trouble, I remember that I used to let the other side go."
"Don't dare to let it, according to the news from an acquaintance at the headquarters, that person may want to come here."
"And this? No wonder he suddenly tore his face, he was a hardliner. β
That one?
David couldn't figure out who they were referring to, but he could sense that his status was definitely extraordinary, and his name should be taboo in the company.
As for the previous gossip, it should be the news I saw this morning.
The media matrix established by Arasaka Company, centered on the WNS news station, fully launched a round of bombing of military technology, and completely hyped the Mattlio incident to a peak.
For a while, Night City suddenly began to care about the veterans and disabled soldiers, and expressed their hatred for the cruel methods of military technology, and vigorously protested their procurement deal with the NCPD, and a multi-million-dollar business was ruined.
"But that's not the point, I heard that today's board meeting is related to our vice minister, Mr. Tang."
"I know, otherwise everyone wouldn't have come so early, something happened, I can't tell if this news was made by Mr. Tang, in case the upper echelons want to take him to the top bag"
"Shhhhh
Mr. Tang?
When David heard them discuss Tang Yu's name, he immediately became vigilant, and he didn't quite understand how this matter could have anything to do with Tang Yu.
It's a pity that counterintelligence colleagues are more taboo about gossip and direct leadership, and when it comes to this, they keep silent.
David was really itching, others didn't talk, but he was not very good at taking the initiative to ask, so he had no choice but to put his attention back to the computer and start preparing for today's work.
Suddenly, he heard a noise around him, and his colleagues around him stood up.
"Mr. Tang, good morning."
"Morning, Mr. Tang"
"Mr. Tang, do you need to prepare breakfast and coffee for you?"
David also hurriedly stood up, just in time to see Tang Yu passing by the office area, and the colleagues around him were greeting him warmly.
But Tang Yu looked cold and abnormal, just waved his hand casually, signaling everyone to continue working, without any superfluous expression.
"It turns out that Mr. Tang is usually like this in the company."
David looked around, and didn't seem to have any opinion or opinion about Tang Yu's indifference.
He was a little puzzled, Mr. Tang was so indifferent to his subordinates, why everyone not only didn't say anything bad, but also greeted him warmly.
After Tang Yu left the office area, the colleagues of the Counterintelligence Department sat down one after another, and David hesitated for a while and sat down.
Finally, he made up his mind to ask the female colleague next to him, who seemed to have a more kind face, and looked capable with a big back hair.
Brothers and sisters are not addressed in the company, regardless of age, they are called by their first names, and the suffix "sir" or "lady" or "miss" is added to show respect, and you can choose to address your position when facing your superiors.
"Ms. Joanne, how long has Mr. Tang been the deputy director of the Counterintelligence Department?"
The lady with the big back looked at David a little strangely, as if she didn't think he should ask this question, but she still replied patiently: "It's been more than a year, but Mr. Tang has been in the field a lot, and he just returned to Night City from a border mission." β
But a colleague on the other side came up and took the initiative to interject: "David Martinez, it's Arasaka Academy who came to the company for an internship, which department do your parents work in, and they can come to the counterintelligence department for an internship, the relationship is not simple."
Faced with his colleague's curious question, David was slightly embarrassed and embarrassed to mention the family situation, so he had to reluctantly smile and said: "No, no, I spent money to enroll, not the company's guarantee." β
The guaranteed quota of Arasaka College is limited to company insiders, and the children of high-level students can enjoy free admission throughout the whole process, and the middle and low levels can be exempted from tuition fees, but they need to pay for relevant teaching expenses.
Hearing that David was not a child of the company, the two colleagues were obviously not interested, but they still reminded: "Anyway, the most important thing in the counterintelligence internship is to learn to keep your mouth shut, and intelligence leaks are not a joke." β
Another colleague asked: "How do I remember that the deputy minister seems to be the mentor of the practice judge who is dying this year, David, do you know about this?" β
David hurriedly nodded in affirmation: "Yes, the mentor of our practice judges is Mr. Tang." β
The two female colleagues nodded: "Oh, then you have to do a good job, Mr. Tang is notoriously strict." β
David suddenly thought of the scene with Tang Yu in the tea restaurant that day, and he didn't feel as stern as they said, but gave people a sense of gentleness.
Seeing that David was dumbfounded, the two colleagues didn't seem to believe it, and added: "On the day Mr. Tang just came back, he was attacked by the Animal Gang on the viaduct. Yesterday, the Dead Lotto, the Animal Gang contributed a few truckloads of people, and the ministry's special service team went to the scene, as for the specific details, I can't say more. β
"You've only been in the ministry for a long time, and you don't know a lot of things, in short, work honestly."
After listening to the introductions of the two colleagues, David suddenly understood that when the car accident happened that day, Tang Yu had just returned to Night City from the border.
"Was there an attack just after returning to Night City?"
David returned to his office and couldn't help but reflect on what had happened in those days.
Tang Yu, the Animal Gang, a car accident, a real death dream, a cyberpunk who breaks into the house, Gloria resigns, Ember Restaurant, a furious slap of Katsuo Tanaka, an internship at the company, and the day I saw my mother in a long skirt getting off the Arasaka company car.
He felt something pulling him along, and what had happened lately was so strange to him.
Everything is changing subtly, and there is a turning point at the right time, why is that? Seventeen years of unlucky life has come to an end?
Obviously not, because everything here has Tang Yu's shadow, and David found out what the key to the problem is.
Why did Mr. Tang help himself like this?
David was really puzzled.
It's like someone suddenly intruding into your life, grabbing you by the hand as they pass by, and then leaving without leaving a trace.
Like clouds, like rain, and like wind.
He has no intention of working at all now, and suddenly an idea pops up, why don't you try to invite Tang Yu to have a meal at noon today.
I don't think I will refuse.
David fell into a deep entanglement, and his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction where Tang Yu's office was located, curious about what he was doing, maybe he was actively preparing for the war, after all, the board of directors that was about to be held had a lot to do with him, and I was afraid that it was a matter of future and fate.
At this time.
Tang Yu was sitting in the office, leisurely holding a cup of hot tea, waiting for the morning board meeting.
In fact, he could see from Arasaka's actions this morning that Komichiko still chose the latter, wanting to win herself over to join her faction.
Otherwise, it would not have used the Arasaka media matrix with such fanfare to bomb military science and technology.
Arasaka's attitude seems to indicate that he will not give up if he does not toss military science and technology hard.
Komi Chiko made such a big fuss about the topic, I am afraid that she has her own calculations, perhaps because she was worried that Arasaka Yorito would come to Night City, so she temporarily burned incense and showed favor to some hardliners in the company.
In the final analysis, those who really want to do with military science and technology, and wish that Arasaka would go bankrupt as soon as possible, are the only ones from beginning to end, provided that Tang Yu and Johnny are not counted.
Tang Yu sighed softly: "If this benevolent brother comes to Night City, this big drama will really start to be exciting, and the scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety may be staged again." β
Tang Yu took a sip of hot tea, he had already done a good job of psychological construction, and he didn't care about the outcome of today's board of directors.
On the contrary, I thought of my old boss Arthur Jenkins, this guy has not come back from a business trip for so long, and he has to deal with a bunch of sesame rotten things in the department, which is really annoying.
In addition, the Special Operations Department has not reported it in earnest, and when I have time, I will bring the expenses related to the recent mission and reimburse them uniformly.
This time, it cost a lot of money to do an errand for Michiko Komi.
The commission cost more than 100,000 yuan, and in addition, Delaman's car rental and damage compensation, etc., miscellaneous matters have added up to 200,000 euros.
Even if you don't have credit, you have hard work.,It's also appropriate to reimburse more points as appropriate.,You can't give Xiaomichiko a black job for free.γ
Tang Yu calculated, and reported 300,000 euros.
This is much richer than when he just returned to Night City, otherwise it would be difficult for Lao Wei to give him a pair of smart glasses and pay 100,000 euros.
"Money, it's really important."
Just as Tang Yu sighed, the office gate showed that someone was visiting, and after checking it, he found that it was Arasaka's personal bodyguard.
Michiko Komi?
This time, the costumes of the two bodyguards are similar to the last two, but the people have changed.
Tang Yu opened the office door and let the other party enter the room to talk.
Sure enough.
It was Michiko Komi who invited him to sit upstairs in the director's office, where he could participate in the board of directors through a remote connection.
Tang Yu didn't refuse, got up and followed the bodyguard to the office floor of Michiko again.
As soon as I got out of the public elevator, I was scanned by two blue rays, and after confirming that it was safe, a female guide stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Tang, please go this way."
Tang Yu followed the guide and went to Michiko's office.
Stepping on the fluffy blanket and walking silently, the guide continued to explain the situation.
"Mr. Tang, Director Michiko has gone to the jungle conference room on the 78th floor to prepare for the Arasaka senior board meeting, and I would like to invite you to her office to participate in the meeting remotely online, and a special assistant will serve you later."
Tang Yu nodded slightly, anyway, it is the same wherever the remote online meeting is, and the large screen in Komichiko's office is more comfortable.
The two of them came to the familiar large stainless steel gate again.
The guide prompted, "Director Michiko has turned on the identity verification permission for you, please wait here." β
After speaking, the female guide took the initiative to step aside and stood by respectfully.
Tang Yu didn't expect Xiaomei Zhizi to be so generous, giving himself all the access authority of the exclusive office, and arranging special assistant services, which can be regarded as sincere.
He waited for two seconds, and his identity was confirmed, and the door opened automatically, obscuring the interior of the office with a familiar curtain of mist.
Tang Yu walked straight in, the mist gradually dissipated, and the office floor the size of half a football field was extremely spacious, but the most conspicuous thing was a lonely set of desks and chairs.
He had just stepped into the office when he heard someone take the initiative to introduce him.
"Hello, Mr. Tang."
"I'm Special Assistant Sasha Yakovleva."
"It's a pleasure to serve you."
Instant noodles: "Johnny, Johnny, look what I caught, Cute Klee-chan." β
Johnny: "I think this girl is good, and Lao Tzu is also relieved, tell V, you have a guardian angel." β
Instant noodles: "After all, it's our honorable alliance leader!" β
Johnny: "Almost, if you force me to continue, you'll have to let me find the words"
Instant noodles: "You have suffered a loss of culture."
Johnny: "Don't talk about it, destroy it, I'll get two thermonuclear bombs"
