Chapter 18 The conscience of the company
As the melodious sound of the piano gradually sounded, the party kicked off.
The dignitaries outside the lawn dispersed and walked away in pairs, gathering towards the palatial parlor of Wood Manor.
Concierge waiters in work uniforms, one person in five steps and one post in ten steps, politely greeted the VIPs to enter.
After standardized and unified training, the welcome actions of the waiters are as if they were copied from each other, neatly and uniformly.
Even the smile on his face remained at an angle that showed just eight teeth.
The male VIPs each carried their delicately dressed and beautiful female companions and slowly stepped into the flowery classical hall.
Seeing that the time for the party had arrived, Tang Yu got up from the lawn and patted the dust on his trouser legs.
He then crouched down next to V, ready to pick up her delicate bare feet and put her back on her high heels, the untamable dark crystals.
Tang Yu's fingertips had just touched V's calf, and the other party immediately retracted his leg as if he had been electrocuted.
V tightly covered the hem of his skirt, circled his knees, and stared at Tang Yu vigilantly: "What are you doing?" ”
The two of them had previously broken away from the noisy crowd and found a secluded corner where no one was sitting on the ground, chatting with each other.
Since V couldn't tame the high heels, he luckily took off his shoes and stepped on the grass barefoot.
She didn't think there was any need to pretend in front of Tang Yu, after all, the other party already knew what kind of person she was.
Even if she changes into a black dress and enters a high-end estate, it can't change the essence of her being born on the street and mixing in the street.
V is used to being free, if it weren't for the fact that he owed Tang Yu money and was in debt, it would be impossible to accompany him to this kind of place to toss.
Let's be honest.
She really remembered Tang Yu's goodness in her heart, so although she was reluctant to ask Tang Yu for his excessive requirements, she finally agreed without exception.
V can accompany Tang Yu to mess around on the battlefield of the prom, but this does not mean that she agrees to enter the next battlefield.
The action of touching her ankle just now wiped out the relaxation she had had while chatting.
After all, mixing with a flowery intestine like Jenkins will inevitably not hurt your mind.
Tang Yu looked at V, who was full of vigilance, and said with some amusement: "The dance has started, are you going to enter barefoot?" ”
The party started immediately, and he estimated that V would not only not be able to step on these shoes well, but it might also be difficult to wear them.
The biggest feature of these black crystal high heels is the pair of lace ribbons, which need to be knotted with a special technique, otherwise the look and characteristics will be greatly reduced.
With such a complicated tie-up process, V must not be able to remember, so Tang Yu planned to help her put on high heels.
V ignored Tang Yu's kindness, picked up his high heels and turned his back to him to make a serious move.
Tang Yu shook his head helplessly, and stood aside waiting for her to put on her shoes.
After a while.
V is a loser.
A pair of beautiful and luxurious black crystal high heels that are neither elegant nor beautiful to wear on her feet.
What's more, she was already on an unstable road, and now she can't even stand on her feet.
Forced by the situation, V asked Tang Yu for help with a little embarrassment, asking him to help tie the ribbon.
Tang Yu had no choice but to squat down, open the messy knotted belt, and tie it for her again, the delicate silk belt was worn around in his hand, and soon a beautiful etiquette was tied.
It is beautiful and securely fixed on the heel.
V looked at Tang Yu, who leaned over to tie the ribbon for her, his expression was serious and calm, and he couldn't help but feel a different feeling in his heart.
These are two different people from Tang Yu in her impression.
At the very beginning.
V always felt that Tang Yu was sick in the brain, there was no place to spend more money, and he wanted to come out to have fun, so he deliberately corrected her.
But now that she has more new ideas, she feels that Tang Yu is not so annoying.
Tonight.
In order to take care of her, Tang Yu not only turned down the opportunity to chat with the high-level circles, but also was willing to accompany her to sit aimlessly in the grass.
She knew the significance of the party to these high-level celebrities in Night City, and she also understood the important weight of Tang Yu in their eyes.
The party was important to everyone present, as men wanted to make connections and move towards the center of power, and women wanted to use it as a ladder to climb higher backers.
Whether it is a famous car or a watch, it is just a decoration for the men to show off, and even women are just weapons in their mouths.
But V can deeply feel that Tang Yu is different from them, and even said that he is not the same kind of person.
She couldn't accurately describe what it was like, but it was Tang Yu's unique temperament and taste.
A little bad but a little gentle, a little domineering but respectful of her feelings and ideas.
V can't see the obsession and desire for power in his eyes, and some are just the chic and indifferent of wanton life.
Tang Yu tied his shoelaces, and when he got up, he found that V's gaze was a little stunned, staring straight at him, so he quipped.
"What, nymphomaniac?"
The thought in V's heart suddenly vanished, and he raised his iron fist in shame and wanted to bang twice.
But then Tang Yu forcibly held his iron fist, held hands and said: "The party has begun, you definitely don't want to be the last couple with me, let's make a grand debut." ”
V didn't want to beat Tang Yu in an instant, he just wanted to escape into the party quietly immediately, and then sit inside and wait for the end to go home.
She quickly lifted the hem of her skirt, took small steps to speed up her pace, and ran towards the hall behind Tang Yu.
The two quickly dodged into the hall and immediately blended into the atmosphere of the party.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the sound of violin instruments is melodious, the magnificent party hall is intertwined with light and shadow, and the holographic projection on the stage shows the sense of neon streamer technology.
Holographic phantom dances, all kinds of colorful signs, elegant singing voices from wooden musical instruments, and ceiling lanterns with layers of rhinestones.
The beauty of technology and classicism is vividly reflected in this hall.
The two chose a buffet table where there was no one, each picked some snacks, and looked at the atmosphere with great interest.
V threw a peeled fruit into his mouth, and it tasted strange, and he didn't know where it came from.
Fruit is a rarity in Night City, and she is used to eating synthetic food, and she is not used to the taste of raw fruit.
The guests in the audience drank and chatted freely, and the focus did not fall on them, so no one cared about eating and drinking.
It's just that occasionally the waiter walks up and politely asks if you need to provide high-end drinks.
V also made a point of asking if there were any stupid monkeys, but only received a negative answer.
The two of them were filling their stomachs, and the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and the sound of the whole hall gradually died down.
The raindrop-like blue light matrix converged from all directions, and finally froze on the stage, a blue figure was immediately condensed, and the holographic projection host officially appeared.
Tang Yu looked at the blue figure on the high platform, judging from the appearance, she looked like a graceful girl, with long wavy hair, tall and plump.
The two eyes frequently sparkle like dazzling blue diamonds, strange and dazzling.
This familiar shape made Tang Yu can't help but think of that old friend, Ott Cunningham.
However, this holographic projection has nothing to do with Ott, it is just a simple artificial intelligence, specially used for office hosting.
The blue holographic host floated in the air, like an elf wandering in the hall, and made an enthusiastic opening remarks.
It solemnly introduced the theme of tonight's charity party, and introduced the charity plan that Yeshi Company is committed to the human security of Night City and is working hard to implement to the VIPs present.
The charity program is mainly aimed at the underprivileged in Night City, and both low-income and non-income people can apply for the charity program's assistance.
Yeshi will provide free training to applicants and provide them with the necessary prosthetic modifications to help them regain their footing in society until they are able to take a job that supports them.
The benefits of this charity program are multifaceted, not only greatly improving the security of Night City, reducing the risk of poverty due to illness, but also providing Night City with more available human resources, which will benefit both Night City and major companies.
The celebrities present couldn't help but applaud after listening to the host's introduction, and praised the feat of the Yeshi company.
In order to prove the success of their philanthropic program, the Yeshi company also gave a number of examples.
For example, there are many homeless people who have been rescued by Ye's company, and after training and transformation, they have joined the front line of the construction site and can operate industrial machinery for construction.
Even the waiters at this party are all people who have received help from the charity program, and after being trained in etiquette, they are fully qualified for high-end banquet services.
The content of the plan is detailed and the examples are clear, and even V on the side was stunned when he heard it, put the fruit in his hand to his mouth, and forgot to eat it for a long time.
"Does the company still have this kind of conscience?" V listened to the host's high-sounding words, and various tall video pattern scenes were staged in turn, depicting a beautiful grand picture of the night city.
Tang Yu didn't even raise his eyebrows, he concentrated on selecting precious and fresh fruits, and put a cup of warm tea on his hand.
"You can also believe the company, the real purpose behind this charity plan can be two different things from what they say."
V knew that the company didn't have a good thing, but he didn't quite understand why such a powerful company would have to go to such great lengths to do such thankless things.
She wondered: "If you want to do prosthetic experiments, you can find a gang to do these dirty work, which is efficient and costless, and you don't have to worry about reputation, it must be more cost-effective." ”
Tang Yu took out a piece of flesh, threw it into his mouth, and said bluntly: "That means you haven't guessed their true purpose, and the deeper you hide it, the greater their ambition." ”
"Yeshi's strength is not in the prosthetic remodeling, nor is it the engineering infrastructure that the public thinks it is."
Tang Yu poked V's head with his index finger and said in a deep voice, "It's here." ”
Brain?
V was a little confused.
She really doesn't know much about the business of these big companies.
"In short, no matter how nice the company says it or how beautifully it does, never believe it." Tang Yu persuaded while chewing.
V then turned his head sideways, looked at Tang Yu faintly, and muttered.
"Can I trust you, then?"
There will be a change later!
PS: Thank you for the 82-year-old Miss Gold Boss for rewarding 6 yuan.
