Arasaka Tower.

Counterintelligence Department on the 33rd floor.

David Martinez is burying his head in sorting out some information, these tasks are arranged for him by Harry, the head of the investigation section, the task is not too difficult, but it is a little tedious, you have to watch the picture frame by frame and listen to the recording, and find details and clues after recording.

It's kind of like a paparazzi, staring at different people every day, checking their whereabouts, who they meet, what they talk to.

David stared at the large electronic screen and couldn't help yawning, feeling a little hungry, so he looked at the time, and it was already noon.

He got up to go to the bathroom, and when he left the office area, he deliberately glanced at the office where Tang Yu was, and there was no movement.

"I didn't expect the board to be in session for so long."

"Wait a little longer."

David had no choice but to turn around and walk in the direction of the bathroom, and when he passed the public elevator, the elevator door just opened.

He inadvertently looked sideways, and his heart was shocked.

Katsuo Tanaka?

David froze on the spot, looking at him a little bewildered, and ten thousand thoughts ran through his heart in an instant.

How did you come across Katsuo Tanaka in the Counterintelligence Department?

After all, they all came to the company for internships from Arasaka College, do you want to say hello to him?

David was stunned, and Katsuo Tanaka in the elevator was also stunned.

David Martinez?

Katsuo Tanaka's expression was stunned, even more so than David.

How could this guy be in the thirty-third floor of the Counterintelligence Department?

Could it be that he also entered the Arasaka company for an internship?

It's absolutely impossible!

Katsuo Tanaka thought that he had misunderstood, and accidentally pressed to the floor of Arasaka Academy, and hurriedly looked sideways at the elevator display floor.

Thirty-three floors of the Counterintelligence Department.

Katsuo Tanaka confirmed that he had not gone to the wrong floor, frowned and withdrew his gaze, his face gradually becoming strange.

He clenched his fists tightly with his hands in his pockets, realizing that David might also have entered the Arasaka company for an internship, and the deep dissatisfaction and nameless fire in his heart gradually rose.

Why did David Martinez get an internship at Arasaka?!

Katsuo Tanaka was slapped in the small hall that day, disgraced in the whole college, and when he returned home, he was scolded by his father and taught him that he must know that there is a place of dignity in the company.

He felt extremely aggrieved, obviously he was slapped and injured, and he lost face in front of his classmates and school leaders, but no one cared about protecting him.

As for asking his father to arrange two internship places and let his little follower enter the Arasaka company, he didn't dare to mention it.

I thought that day was the day when my life took off, but I didn't expect to plant a big heel when I came up, which made Katsuo Tanaka feel so humiliated that he even wanted to go back to his hometown in Kyoto.

Fortunately, Katsuo Tanaka silently endured everything, and he vowed to remember these humiliations and shame them one day!

Katsuo Tanaka's eyes returned to pride, looked at David coldly, and stepped out of the elevator with a look of displeasure.

David saw that Katsuo Tanaka seemed to be still angry, and it was estimated that Tang Yu's slap had not yet passed, and he didn't really want to expose his shortcomings, so he was about to leave, but he heard a cold snort from behind.

"David Martinez, I don't know how you got into the Counterintelligence Department, but I wrote it down."

David looked back and found that Katsuo Tanaka was still glaring at him, his eyes seemed to contain a trace of unwillingness, and he suddenly felt inexplicable, thinking that this was Tang Yu's territory, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he replied.

"I don't know what you want to do, but now that you're out of the academy, there's no need for you to target me anymore."

Katsuo Tanaka sneered: "Targeting you? David Martinez, what do you have that I should target? It's clear that you're not worthy."

Before he finished speaking, David didn't want to continue listening to his trash talk at all, this was the Counterintelligence Department, and Katsuo Tanaka didn't dare to do much, unless he wanted to be slapped again.

Katsuo Tanaka saw David turn around and leave, but he didn't take himself in his eyes at all, the blue tendons on his forehead suddenly burst out, and the battle implant on his body began to hold back again.

He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and thought of his father's words and instructions.

"Everything must be done with the company as the priority, you have offended the company's senior Tang Yu, you must apologize to him, not for a poor sense of morality, but you have a handle in his hands, if you want to survive in the company, you must learn to forbear."

So Katsuo Tanaka came to the Counterintelligence Department, ready to find an opportunity to apologize to Tang Yu.

Although Katsuo Tanaka was a hundred unwilling, Tang Yu was the mentor of the practice judges and the deputy minister of the two departments, and if he offended him, it was the little ghost who crashed into the Yama Hall and looked for his own death.

Even if he is covered by his father, it is definitely not good news that Arasaka Tower is hated by a company executive.

And Katsuo Tanaka also saw that his father didn't want to fall out with Tang Yu because of his own affairs.

His father, who had always put the company's business first, was valued by the Arasaka family in Kyoto, and was appointed here to be in charge of research and development, which involved a lot of confidential research.

Katsuo Tanaka saw David Martinez leaving, so he withdrew his cold gaze and walked to the front desk of the Counterintelligence Department.

"Hello, I'm Katsuo Tanaka, is Mr. Tang in the office?"

The front desk habitually replied: "Mr. Tang is in a meeting, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait in the waiting room." ”

Katsuo Tanaka knew that the board of directors was being held today, and guessed that the content had something to do with the counterintelligence department, so Tang Yu should be attending the meeting now, so he replied politely.

"Thank you."

After speaking, he turned around and went to the waiting room to sit down, waiting for Tang Yu to come back.

David, on the other side, hurriedly walked into the bathroom, quietly looked back to check the situation, and found that Katsuo Tanaka did not follow, so he exhaled heavily.

"I didn't expect to meet him here"

"It's good that I didn't keep up, if something happens in the Counterintelligence Department, it's not good to explain it to Mr. Tang."

David also saw Katsuo Tanaka's surprise and doubts, presumably he must have been very surprised, and he also entered the counterintelligence department for an internship.

And from Katsuo Tanaka's expression, it can be seen that he should have transferred all the anger of the slap to himself.

David was helpless.

He obviously didn't do anything, he just wanted to stay away from him, and he didn't want to cause trouble, but Katsuo Tanaka liked to target him.

First at the Academy, then at the Ember Restaurant, and now at the Arasaka Tower Counterintelligence Department.

David felt a toothache.

Maybe it was because he was too nervous just now, David felt even hungrier, and he didn't know how the meeting was going on Mr. Tang's side.

"The board meeting hasn't ended yet, so I'm afraid it's a lot of pressure."

At this time.

The exclusive office of the director of Komichiko.

"Mr. Tang, the maid service is 30%, how do you feel?"

"It's a good idea."

Tang Yu was sitting on the leather soft sofa, his eyes slightly closed, drinking hot tea, enjoying comfortable service, and there were a few plates of refreshments and fruits on the crystal table.

Sasha stood behind Tang Yu, pressing his fingers to his temples, his fingertips rubbing gently.

The two of them forcibly turned Michiko's exclusive director's office into a leisure room for Tang Yu to enjoy the noon time.

In fact, Tang Yu can't be blamed for this, he didn't want to eat, drink and enjoy in Xiao Michiko's office, but this meeting was like an old lady's footcloth, smelly and long.

Several board members took turns arguing, and Tang Yu, who was watching, was inexplicably irritable, if it wasn't for Komichiko to leave him here to wait, he would have clocked out and left a long time ago.

Among the members of the board of directors, there are those who support continuing to strengthen countermeasures against military technology, and they are all torn in the face anyway, so it is better to take the opportunity to grab the business, and the combat implant physical fitness developed by Arasaka Company is worse than that of military technology?

Some board members believe that the countermeasures are inappropriate, emphasizing that it is necessary to deal with the person in charge, give an explanation to the major companies, and then settle the matter.

Tang Yu felt that this kind of person was absolutely extinct, it was he Tang Yu who co-authored the officer, and it was he Tang Yu who was the last to take the blame, working for this kind of old six, he was not a person inside and out, it was better to learn from Na Abu and borrow his head for a use.

Komichiko hasn't made a statement from beginning to end, so let's argue that a conference can be regarded as a complete and wonderful place.

Several major factions are their own, and they keep pulling each other's skins and tendons, and they must also understand that there is a use in opening the board of directors, that is, going through the motions, and what will happen in the end is not what the god of Arasaka who is far away in Kyoto said.

These board members, just pretending, can't wait for the master to speak, and then go up and bark twice, that seems too disloyal.

Tang Yu was really not interested in watching them sing, and when he was bored, he remembered the various service models that Sasha said.

Although among the many modes, he was more curious about what the intimate mode was, but after all, this was Michiko's office, which was too bad, so he turned on the Sasha maid service option.

Sasha activates the office sitting area, where a large chunk of glossy walls rotates into a warm-toned wine table and bar, and a plush leather sofa rises from the floor, plus a crystal table.

Only then did Tang Yu understand that behind Xiaomei Chiko's minimalism was supported by powerful luxury.

Under Sasha's guidance, there was a scene that Tang Yu enjoyed just now.

As for the refreshments and fruits on the crystal table, they were all provided by Michiko's office.

The fruits are delivered to Arasakata from a special channel outside the city, and they are of high quality and taste.

Michiko is talking about everything for her own convenience, which naturally includes enjoying office-related services.

The two of them were in an office the size of half a football field, and they couldn't play football or play sports, so they could barely sit in the reception area.

At this point, Tang Yu has to give Xiaomei Zhizi a thumbs up, he really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

Sasha carefully pressed the acupuncture points, and the technique gradually became skilled and rhythmic, which really helped Tang Yu relax a lot.

In fact, Tang Yu is not used to being served, but Sasha is now more inclined to be a bionic person, and the setting is a service role, so there is not much psychological burden.

Michiko Komi will choose Sasha as her special assistant, I am afraid that not only is she super capable of service, but also her hacking skills.

Just like when Arasaka learned that Ott Cunningham had invented the soul catcher technology, he directly sent someone to kidnap his girlfriend in front of Johnny, and poor Johnny was beaten half to death.

Tang Yu estimated that Sasha's experience might be somewhat similar to Ott's, and maybe he also took a fancy to her somewhere, so he tried to get the company and carry out a ruthless cyber transformation.

In the end, I don't know whose hard-working child it is.

But Sasha has finally become what he is now, and it is not easy to go back to the past, as a special assistant to Michiko Komiko, she has been branded with the mark of Arasaka from birth to death, and there is nowhere to escape.

Just like Lucy, who fled from the ends of the earth to Night City, he thought he could get rid of Arasaka, but he still had to face Arasaka's existence.

It's easier said than done.

Really, as Lucy said, she was just luckier, and if she wasn't lucky, she might have been trapped in such an office space, never seeing the light of day.

In his spare time, Tang Yu can't help but think about the west, which can be regarded as his unique way of relaxing.

Suddenly, he received a message from David.

David Martinez: "Hello Mr. Tang, are you free at noon, I would like to invite you to lunch." ”

When Tang Yu saw David's wording, he felt more and more that this kid was on the road, I was afraid that after entering the counterintelligence department as an intern, he became more and more afraid of himself, and the tone of eating together was so cautious.

Tang Yu didn't mind having lunch with David, he saw David's performance in the company these days.

David is indeed a down-to-earth and hard-working child, plus he is also smart and sensible, and knows how to empathize.

Although in the Arasaka Tower, such a character is easy to be bullied, it just shows that David's life shines here.

Today he will swallow his anger for the people around him, and in the future he will become a hero and a legend for the people around him.

It's just that David still needs time to grow and experience, and Tang Yu is willing to wait for this time.

He simply agreed to David's invitation.

"Wait for me to adjourn."

The message was sent in the past.

David on the thirty-third floor was waiting nervously, and the moment he received Tang Yu's reply, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and his hanging heart finally landed.

Sasha noticed that it was meal time, pressed her temples, and asked politely, "Mr. Tang, do you need meal service?" You can choose a hot meal for the company or you can choose Sasha to prepare it for you. ”

Tang Yu had already made an appointment with David for dinner, so naturally he wouldn't eat here, and he would eat in someone else's office, which was somewhat excessive, so he asked rhetorically, "You can still cook?" ”

"Cooking?" Sasha was puzzled, not quite understanding the meaning of the word, and then quickly began to search and learn.

"If you're referring to preparing hot food, Sasha has learned 4,340 recipes, covering more than 100 national cuisines around the world, and can make corresponding dishes according to different ingredients, do you need it?"

"Thank you, no need, I just want to ask you if you can do oriental cuisine." Tang Yu declined Sasha's pitch and explained why he asked her.

Sasha remained warm and polite, and said in a cheerful tone, "Of course! Oriental cuisine is also a key part of Sasha's learning, such as hot pot, chicken in a bowl, and stewed pork with lotus root."

Tang Yu heard that Sasha was also learning cooking, and presumably the home work model was also extremely complete.

"It's a pity that many ingredients are no longer available in Night City, and industrial synthetic food occupies most of the market."

Just as the two were chatting about each other, they suddenly heard someone interject and ask.

"Mr. Tang, the service of the special assistant is quite satisfactory?"

Tang Yu then looked sideways and found that Michiko had finished the board meeting, stepped on blue crystal high heels, and walked in from outside the office.

Michiko walked towards the office by herself, not caring at all about Tang Yu enjoying it on the soft leather sofa in the reception area.

Tang Yu waved his hand slightly, signaling Sasha to stop.

Sasha was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood the intention, and stood obediently not far behind Tang Yu, silent.

Tang Yu replied: "Director Michiko's special assistant is indeed impressive. ”

Michiko stood at the desk, quickly dealt with some affairs, turned off the office system after it was done, turned around and walked towards Tang Yu, and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?" ”

Tang Yu: "."

Without waiting for Tang Yu to answer, Xiaomei Zhizi walked straight to the bar wine cabinet, took out a bottle of high-end red wine, carried two goblets, and sat on the main seat of the sofa.

She opened the red wine cork with her own hands, filled a small half glass, handed it to Tang Yu, and then filled herself with a small half glass.

As if returning to her own turf, Michiko looked casual and casual, picking up a cigar and reducing the cigarette butt to light it.

She folded a pair of long legs with red wine in one hand and a cigar in the other, sat comfortably on the sofa, and raised her glass to Tang Yu.

“Cheers”

Tang Yu also picked up the wine glass and gestured gently, and then took a sip, the rare original wine was good red and had a mellow taste.

He was a little curious about why Michiko wanted to light cigarettes and pour wine with her own hands.

Special Assistant Sasha wasn't just waiting around, just a hello.

It can't always be to show that he attaches importance to himself, Tang Yu hasn't felt that he is so important.

And Michiko Komi is a married woman, and it is rumored that the husband and wife have the same interests, and marriage is a good story in the industry.

Tang Yu didn't know what she was doing, so she played Tai Chi first.

"The special assistant is quite special."

After taking a sip of red wine, Xiaomei Chiko stared at Tang Yu again, and asked with a smile, "You haven't answered the question just now, do you like it?" ”

"Ahh

Tang Yu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Michiko's gourd for a while, at the board meeting just now, although there were many objections, but her goal had been achieved, and it was a winning board of directors, so it didn't look like she was embarrassing herself.

And Sasha is her special assistant, asking me if I like it, which is somewhat weird and conspiratorial.

If you like it, it's hard for you to do it

Damn?!

Tang Yu realized something instantly, and his mind quickly summarized and calculated all kinds of information.

I barely managed to do my errand, and I didn't openly have a large-scale hot conflict with my neighbor, and I really damaged the interests of my neighbor.

Then Michiko also achieved her goal and overwhelmed those hardliners on the board, and no one said that she was afraid of military technology in the future.

What's more, she proved to the Arasaka family that she would not turn her elbow just because she was in Night City and stayed in New America for a long time.

Therefore, his uncle, Arasaka Lai Xuan, is worried about the affairs of the Arasaka Tower in the night city, and he is ready to inherit the unification in Kyoto.

The signal released by this question may be that it has the meaning of recruiting peace.

Tang Yu's thoughts passed in an instant, and he was as stable as an old man in the workplace, and he still played Tai Chi without changing his face.

"Director Michiko, you are looking for me to be happy, Sashayakovleva is your special assistant, even if I like it again, it will be boring for me."

Komichiko's eyes were blazing, and she smiled charmingly.

"No, Sasha Yakovleva, she's your special assistant."

Tang Yu: "."

"Bangbang beep, bang beep bang."

"The money bullet of 'isPasserby' has been detected, thank you Lao Tie ~ (electronic sound)."

"Are you still happy with the auto-fire feature? Please skip to confirm. ”

Instant noodles: "Four Seasons Treasure, be serious, this is your master's gold boss!" ”

Four Seasons: "Uh, ah, ah, good, cool, no, want, stop, stop, stop~!" ”
