Chapter 134: Lizzy
Arasaka Tower.
Thirty-three floors of the Counterintelligence Department.
Tang Yu had just finished a day's work, leaned back on the office chair and breathed a sigh of relief, pinching his eyebrows to relax his tired mood.
Sasha, the special assistant who was sitting not far away, saw that Tang Yu had finished his work and seemed to want to rest for a while, so he took the initiative to come over.
She picked up the teacup on the table, refilled the warm water, handed it back to the table, turned around and came to Tang Yu's chair and stretched out her hand, put her slender fingertips on his temples on both sides, and pressed it gently.
Sasha was already familiar with Tang Yu's habits in all aspects, and knew that he didn't like to sit in the office and deal with all kinds of copywriting.
So whenever Tang Yu rested, she would help him do some soothing activities to decompress.
If Tang Yu wanted to talk a few words, she would also listen carefully beside her.
With Sasha's service, Tang Yu felt a little relaxed.
He felt a little tired, not because of the heavy workload, but because the work was so boring.
All kinds of things in the Counterintelligence Department, big and small, are waiting to be reported to him, and then waiting for the results of the approval process.
The reason why the acting minister worked so hard was because of his dutiful old boss, Arthur Jenkins.
During Arthur Jenkins' tenure as the head of the Counterintelligence Division, he was almost a master of power.
In addition, he, the deputy minister, often runs out on assignments, so he can hardly help the ministry.
Arthur Jenkins is also accustomed to doing everything by himself, and this mode of work leads to a needle leading to a thousand threads.
It will be difficult for the counterintelligence department to turn around without a minister, and there must be someone who has done the master.
Now that Arthur Jenkins is on a business trip, these jobs naturally fall to Tang Yu.
What's even more troublesome is that some of the acting ministers can't make decisions on the spot, and they have to relay the matter to Arthur Jenkins and get his opinion before replying to others.
The way of the setter is to be sandwiched in the middle, and both ends have to run to ask, which will inevitably cause a lot of friction.
Whenever this happens, Tang Yu thinks of another deputy minister, Kate.
She is still sitting in the deputy minister's office, I don't know what she is busy with, sitting in a dark and closed room with nothing to do all day, I am afraid that she will hold back the shadows in her heart.
He leaned back in his leather chair, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Do you think Kate is staring at us all day because she's too idle?"
When Sasha heard Tang Yu mention the old witch, he suddenly felt very unfair in his heart.
Obviously, they are all deputy ministers, and Kate has nothing to do every day, specifically looking for trouble with Mr. Tang.
Tang Yu has outstanding ability, but he has to serve as the acting minister, and he is busy in the dark, and he has to prevent Kate from doing those small actions.
Sasha really rarely gets angry, and rarely looks at anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, but every time she thinks about Kate, she has a little itchy teeth.
I don't know why, although she is well versed in the rules of the company, as Tang Yu's special assistant, she is not allowed to offend any upper echelons of the company in person.
But Sasha was dissatisfied with Kate, and it was obvious that some of the deep-rooted laws had been shaken.
"Mm-hmm, Sasha thinks so too."
"According to what Sasha has learned, these manifestations may also be related to personality, qualities, emotional intelligence, and even physiology, which is to some extent a disease."
Tang Yu actually didn't take Kate seriously at all, for what she did with Xiao Jiujiuhe, she could only say that her rank was not enough, and it was easy to set herself on fire.
Carter Smith, the last counterintelligence worker who played like this, had already killed himself.
Tang Yu has many secrets, but not everyone is qualified to know.
Whether it's the relic chip, the true purpose of Arasaka Yoritoku, Saburo Arasaka's plan to resurrect the soul, the infighting between the Arasaka family, the conspiracy between the Yashi Company and AI, or even the AI god Ultra Cunningham outside the black walls of cyberspace.
If one of these things is leaked at random, everyone in the know will be caught in the storm whirlpool, even if they want to get out.
Kate was completely unaware of the consequences of her stupidity.
But.
Even grasshoppers that have been jumping in front of them for a long time will feel a little unsightly.
Tang Yu decided to arrange some life for Kate, so that she would not be idle all day long and dangling in front of her.
"Yes, people are idle, I think Kate is too idle, so, you let her come to the office, I will arrange something for her."
"She doesn't really like to fight with military technology, so let her be responsible for countering military technology."
Tang Yu felt that a grasshopper like Kate would be good if it was handed over to Aunt Mei to be treated.
Sasha received Tang Yu's order, turned his prosthetic eyes, and quickly summoned the front desk to inform Deputy Minister Kate to go to the minister's office.
It didn't take long.
The gates of the minister's office opened from the middle to the sides, and Kate stood in the doorway with a blank face to be scanned.
She walked into the office, her red-eyed prosthetic body couldn't see her joy or anger, she just came to the opposite side of Tang Yu's desk and asked coldly.
"What's the matter?"
Kate saw Tang Yu sitting on the office chair, looking leisurely, and the special assistant Sasha was standing behind him, relaxing his temples.
This posture looks like something serious.
Tang Yu still closed his eyes and recuperated, without the slightest intention of facing her.
He is a lone wolf in this Arasaka Tower itself, and even Susan Ebnathy Director has a bad face.
As for Kate, who was parachuted into the counterintelligence department by relying on a point connection, she would not take it to heart.
From beginning to end, Kate herself wants to jump here, so she just gives her a stage and lets her perform well.
Tang Yu enjoyed a moment of relaxation before Sasha let go of his hand.
He knew that even if Kate was unhappy now, he would have to wait here honestly.
Because.
This is the Arasaka Tower, and the most fundamental rule of the company's workplace is to obey the orders and arrangements of the superiors.
Although Tang Yu and Kate are both deputy ministers, he is now acting minister, and the instructions issued and the matters arranged are equivalent to the effectiveness of Arthur Jenkins.
After Sasha received Tang Yu's signal, he took two steps back, stood obediently behind, and kept silent.
Tang Yu opened his eyes at this time, put one hand on the table, lightly tapped his index finger on the table, pretended to think for a while, and asked rhetorically.
"Is the report on the reopening of the investigation finished?"
Kate's face sank, and she was trying her best to resist the unpleasant firepower, and she burst out, and even the green tendons in the corners of her forehead burst out.
She said in a displeased tone, and replied coldly: "There is no need to investigate this matter, I already know the truth, and there is no point in investigating further." β
Kate wanted to see if Tang Yu was really that confident, although there was no evidence now, it didn't prevent her from continuing to press.
Tang Yu frowned slightly, and said with a sigh in his tone: "This is not good, the reopening of the investigation report is not to ask for your opinion, but to arrange the work items for you." β
"I think your opinion is very good, you think there are doubts and want to dig out the truth, this spirit of getting to the bottom of the matter is very suitable for the work needs of the Counterintelligence Department."
"The report will be sent to my mailbox before twelve o'clock tonight, and I hope to open the mailbox tomorrow morning, and your report can lie in the mailbox completely, understand?"
Kate gritted her teeth, her face turned a little blue, and her forehead twitched twice unconsciously.
Sasha saw that her complexion was wrong, and she seemed to have the urge to make a move, her eyes gradually became cold, and the lynx Vajra claw silently revealed a sharp blade, and a little cold light appeared.
Kate swallowed hard, then replied in a deep voice, "Understood." β
She now finally understood why Director Susan Abernathy had lost her temper in the halls of the Arasaka Tower.
This person in front of you.
The arrogant and arrogant attitude is enough to make anyone feel crazy, and the hatred is so numb that the roots of his teeth are numb.
She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and the strong hatred that killed the other party.
Tang Yu saw that Kate's face was blue and purple, presumably she must have felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she said kindly.
"Mr. Jenkins has been on a business trip since you came to the Counterintelligence Department, and I don't have time to guide you through some of the work at hand."
"It just so happens that I'm free now, I'll talk to you about the situation in the department, and by the way, I'll arrange the division of labor for you."
Tang Yu paused, seeing that Kate was still that lifeless, and then spoke emphasized.
"Although you have just arrived, you have not taken over the work, and you are usually a little idle at work, I can understand it."
"Flipping through old accounts and learning about the recent cases handled by the ministry is indeed conducive to your quick integration into the counterintelligence department and adapting to the role of deputy minister."
"However, you still have to keep your eyes on the front and strive to accomplish a few more big things, so that your colleagues in the department can admire your ability from the bottom of their hearts."
"Not to mention anything else, even when I came to work, many subordinates have given me feedback."
"They're worried that you don't have enough skills and experience, after all, this is not an R&D department, and you don't have any experience in a senior position."
"Of course, don't take these words to heart, they are all the care and care of your colleagues in the department."
Kate felt that her whole body was about to explode, where is this conversation, it is clearly stepping on her face in front of her.
She can be regarded as seeing through it, Tang Yu must have wanted to take advantage of the acting minister's period to retaliate fiercely.
Arthur Jenkins must be in league with him, otherwise how could he let Tang Yu do anything wrong in the ministry.
But Kate can also endure what ordinary people can't, the minister's office is Tang Yu's home field, if she makes a mistake here, even if she dies on the spot, there is no place to reason.
The only thing she could sit was to stand where she was, listen to Tang Yu finish speaking, and then find a way to get him after leaving.
Tang Yu found that Kate and Susan Abernathy's gang were simply printed in the same mold.
Withholding it in front of him, he pretended to have a city government and took care of the overall situation, and secretly found a way to stab him in private after he went back.
He didn't think it was interesting to say a few words, and Kate was still not enough to see compared to Susan Abernathy, so she began to wrap up.
"I thought about it, since you want to write a report on the resumption of the investigation, you should simply take the lead in countering military technology."
"Let the Investigation Section and the Operations Section pass on some information to you."
"The agents and informants planted by the Counterintelligence Department in military science and technology are temporarily in the stage of secrecy training."
"So you'll have to find a way to develop new informants, or train a few agents to break into the military tech insider."
"By the way, on the night of the trade, the senior leader of the military technology team was Meredith Stout."
"If you have any information, don't hesitate to report it to me."
"Anything else is not clear?"
Kate replied directly in a deep voice: "Understood, nothing else, I'll go back to the office first." β
Tang Yu nodded slightly, signaling that she could go.
After getting Tang Yu's approval, Kate turned around and walked straight towards the office door, leaving without looking back.
Kate strode menacingly, her high heels stomping on the coral velvet carpet and making a dull aggressive sound.
She knew that Tang Yu was deliberately suppressing, and what kind of work arrangement was to throw the trouble on her.
Countering military technology is equivalent to taking a chestnut in the fire, and the slightest carelessness will ignite the fire.
What's more, there is not even a person, and agents and informants can't move, so if you really want to get military scientific and technological information, you have to find someone to investigate by yourself.
It's ridiculous.
But for Kate, it gave her a fair and honest reason to investigate military technology.
She had long wanted to arrange for someone to check who was doing the trick on the night of the transaction.
Meredith Stout.
Kate is no stranger to the name Tang Yu said, the head of the Special Operations Department of Military Science and Technology, and a proper senior executive of the company.
And within military technology, it is the top who firmly resists Arasaka.
She suspected that Tang Yu was deceiving herself, and she couldn't get any benefit from meredith.
You have to start the investigation from the people below, and as long as you find a witness, all the problems can be easily solved.
Thinking of this, Kate's gloomy face returned to expressionlessness, and she continued to walk towards her office.
Many staff members of the Counterintelligence Department who passed by, when they saw Kate with a gloomy look, pulled aside to avoid a few points, so as not to touch the mold.
Office of the Minister.
After Kate left, Tang Yu also stood up and moved his slightly stiff shoulders slightly.
Sasha hurriedly walked up to him, reached out to help straighten his suit jacket, and asked softly.
"Mr. Tang, today's work has ended, do you need to prepare a special car for Delaman?"
Sasha knew that Tang Yu usually went home from work, and usually chose to take public transportation and subway, and if he went out to run errands, he would choose to take the Delaman special car.
Tang Yu thought for a while and said directly: "I don't need a Druman car, I have something to do tonight, just use the company's car." β
After tidying up his clothes, Tang Yu found that Sasha was looking at him, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, obviously wanting to go out with him.
He raised his hand and touched the cat's head, and said helplessly: "Today is a private matter, and it is not convenient for you to go." β
The place where Tang Yu is going is indeed not suitable for taking Sasha there, after all, that place was once a *Yi Dance Club.
Lizzy Bar.
Even though it is now renamed Lizzy Bar, it is still a forbidden area industry in essence.
Sasha is not deeply involved in the world, and it is not good to be exposed to these things too early, so as not to have some strange knowledge in her head.
Sasha's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but he quickly became happy, and replied earnestly and sensibly.
"Well, Sasha understands."
"Mr. Tang is busy."
Sasha stays and tidies up the office before going home from work.
Tang Yu nodded slightly: "It's hard work." β
After speaking.
He walked straight out of the office gate, his figure disappearing behind the gate.
The reason why Tang Yu is going to Lizzy Bar today is because he made an appointment with Jack to have two drinks.
This matter has been on hold for a long time, because all kinds of things have been put on hold until now, and Jack is strongly invited today, Tang Yu decided to take advantage of his free time to go to Lizi to sit down.
Tang Yu walked into the public elevator room of Arasaka Tower, and chose to go directly to the hall of Arasaka Tower, and the black exclusive limousine of Arasaka outside the door was already waiting.
He strode out of the Arasaka Tower and got into the car, which immediately navigated directly to Watson's Kabukicho Ritz Bar.
As soon as the car left, Jack called.
Tang Yu couldn't help but sigh with a smile, Jack, this kid is really anxious.
The phone is connected.
On the other end of the phone, Jack asked in a somewhat excited tone.
"Tang, haven't you gotten off work yet, I'm waiting for you at the door of Lizi, to be honest, since you went back to work in the company, you've been busy every day, Arasaka Company won't collapse without you, hurry up, I'll invite you to drink two glasses."
In Tang Yu's mind, a picture couldn't help but emerge, Jack was standing at the door of Lizzy Bar at this time, holding back his excitement, a pair of big hands kept rubbing back and forth, it was simply funny.
"Jack, isn't this enough, isn't the two-person world between you and Misty last time not enough for you to be satisfied?"
Hearing this, Jack was suddenly a little embarrassed and laughed a few times.
"Aha, ahahaha, hahaha"
"Whichever time you said it, Misty and I were simply communicating with psionic energy in the divination room."
"I sometimes stay in the garage, but my mom is right behind the store, so I'm in no mood."
Tang Yu: "."
"Don't say it, Jack, you're like this, I'll give you the permission to open a permanent suite in the Cambi Mansion, and the account will be in my name."
"I don't have to worry about the relationship between the two of you, but don't play too wild."
Jack seemed even more embarrassed and let out a few dry laughs again.
"Aha, ahahaha, hahaha"
Tang Yu said helplessly: "You go into the house first, and I'll be there later." β
Hang up.
It didn't take long.
A black Arasaka sedan slowly arrived and stopped in the small square in front of the Lizzy Bar.
Tang Yu stepped out of the car and looked around the small square.
It's a familiar place, a familiar scene, a familiar Lizi signboard, and a familiar Mox Gang.
The walls on the left and right sides of the main entrance of the Lizzy Bar are lit up with neon patterns, with purple fluorescent lights on the left outlining the graceful curves of the axe in hand, and bright white fluorescent lights on the right outlining the sassy posture of holding a baseball bat.
The huge signboard on the top of the main entrance glows brightly, slightly illuminating the small square below.
βLizzie'sβ
βBarβ
Scattered crowds gathered in the small square, chatting and chatting, both men and women.
They saw the Arasaka company car driving into the square, and then saw Tang Yu coming over, casting a not friendly look.
Tang Yu knew that Arasaka was not very popular with Lizi, but the Lizzy Bar did not order that people from the Arasaka Company were prohibited from entering and leaving.
Lizzie Bar does belong to Mox's tube, and there is a certain amount of power, but it is still mainly business-oriented.
Tang Yu remembered that the big boss of Lizi Bar was Susie Q, a very business-minded woman, and she managed Lizi well in a few years.
Now.
Lizzy Bar has already sat on the top spot in the forbidden area of Night City, and the girls and Mewtwo quality here are indeed the top in Night City.
After all, Lizzy Bar has Judy Alvarez, Night City's most talented Mewtwo Experience editor and technologist.
Tang Yu's understanding of Judy is not shallow, in his opinion, Judy has always been a girl who simply loves Mewtwo.
It's just that the city is not friendly to her, and the people around her are addicted to fame and fortune, and no one really cares about emotions, but she cares.
Tang Yu came to Lizi this time, in addition to drinking with Jack, he also had a little desire to see Judy.
At that time, his first woman was neither a V-son who was born and died together in tribulation, nor a wild girl Panan who galloped through the Badlands and Deserts.
It's the girl who hides in the basement computer room, immersed in her own Mewtwo editing world day after day, Judy.
Tang Yu also thought about this question afterwards at that time, this kind of thing depends on fate.
V is indeed the first girl he fell in love with, and he has been with him for the longest time and night.
The two have also had many solitary two-person worlds, but the V son opened his mind too late and maintained a 'brother' relationship for a long time.
But the relationship with Judy was not all smooth sailing, and when I first met her, I always felt that she had a natural sense of alienation from herself, or men.
Later, he vaguely realized that something was wrong, and Judy's emotional orientation almost eliminated his possibility.
But.
Orientation is not as rigid as a mechanical program.
Even if the mechanical program is set to such a dead point, there is still a chance to tamper with it.
Tang Yu did succeed in capturing Judy, but the method of cooking raw rice was somewhat disgraceful.
Judy had a falling out with him for a long time over this.
Tang Yu put away his thoughts and went straight to the main entrance of Lizi Bar.
Mox's little sisters are guarding the main entrance, looking like no one is close.
The little sister at the head is wearing two blue balls, carrying a baseball bat on her shoulder, a touch of white on her upper body T-shirt and short coat, and her left and right arms are replaced with high-level combat implants.
Seeing Tang Yu's companyly temperament, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're pretty handsome, do you have the latest super dream to try?"
Tang Yu was also deeply impressed by the little sister of the Mox Gang in front of him, it was not an easy errand to guard the gate in Lizi, and he would often encounter some little hooligans who caused trouble, and he couldn't control it without any real skills.
However, Lizi's new goods are equivalent to old goods for him, and he has already experienced all the films in Lizzie before.
"If you're talking about a new product, you're referring to the 'Wizard of Oz', there's nothing to recommend."
"Tell Judy."
"In order to cater to the tastes of the market."
"Not necessarily."
"I made an appointment."
"Take care of the car."
Little Sister Mox looked at Tang Yu a little strangely, and there was no impression of him in her mind at all.
The new Mewtwo she wants to recommend is indeed 'The Wizard of Oz', which is in the green forest, swaying to the rhythm of Baiyangdian Lake.
The little sister glanced across the small square, and those people were obviously a little cautious.
For the people of the Arasaka Company, the street gangsters generally don't have a good feeling, and they don't dare to kill people, but marking car marks and tying a car tire or something is regarded as entertainment.
The little sister stepped out of the way, and the gate behind her automatically opened, and then said: "Your suggestion, I will convey it to Judy, but she is a member of the Mox Gang, you don't have any ideas." β
Tang Yu smiled without saying a word, and walked directly into the Lizi Bar.
PS: It's not there today, I'm so tired, and I'm trying to resume the double shift on Tuesday.
