At one o'clock in the morning, the top floor of the company.

Lin Mo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the city with sea lights from a high place.

Blurry lights and neon lights, dazzling holographic projections, it seems that only at night, the city really comes to life, those flashing and vivid neon lights, and graceful floating projections, are all signs of life in the city.

Now, this dazzling everything is in Lin Mo's eyes, just like a dynamic picture drawn by a painter who has learned all his life, depicting it on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, he is not only looking at the lights of thousands of homes, but also a brilliant picture of the lights of human civilization.

Lin Mo quietly watched the "picture scroll" in front of him, but his thoughts drifted into the distance.

He recalled the interrogation just now, and after the man gave in and compromised, he also told all the information he knew.

However, the man knew nothing about the company behind the assassination.

At the moment when he first became a mole, his communication with his hired people was through secret text messages to exchange information and information, and the reward paid to him was in the form of being stored in a certain storage point for the man's family to collect.

During the whole process, the man who acted as a mole had nothing to do with the mysterious mercenary in the whole process.

He didn't know who he was working for, after all, this kind of mole work, the hirer naturally wanted him to know as little as possible.

Therefore, at present, Lin Mo has not been able to know who is behind the planning of this assassination operation.

But it's not the same until daylight.

The news that the mole has been exposed has been blocked, and all unrelated people who saw the man being arrested have also been controlled, and the custody of the news will not be leaked.

In this way, once the day comes, the floating car sets off according to the original plan, using this as bait to lure the assassination team, then the follow-up work is nothing more than catching turtles in the urn.

When the members of the assassination team are caught, those guys will always know who is behind the scenes, and in this case, the company that is behind the operation will also be exposed.

Although the whole plan was very simple, it was also very effective, and Lin Mo couldn't find anything missing.

"Why are you standing there? Was it the first time you had seen such a sight, so you were blown away? ”

Xu Wanxue's gentle voice sounded behind her, and she immediately woke Lin Mo back from her state of being in a trance.

He slowly turned sideways and looked behind him, only to see Xu Wanxue sitting calmly on the sofa in the office, in front of him was a beautiful glass table, and some tea was placed on the table.

"I've been here a few times before, but you weren't a vice president at the time, so I haven't been here before, and I've never stood on such a high place overlooking the city." Lin Mo explained casually.

Xu Wanxue smiled and asked softly, "Then do you think it looks good?" Did you find it shocking? ”

"It's kind of shocking." Lin Mo replied suddenly.

"In fact, if you can follow the steps and follow the route I have planned for you, with your intelligence, you will be able to stand in my position within the age of 30, or even do better than me." Xu Wanxue said with a little regret.

... I still have to be 30 years old, and at that time, according to the original game plot, the world doesn't know what has become of... Lin Mo said in his heart.

This is also the reason why he is reluctant to go down the corporate route, with his current age, even if the speed of promotion is comparable to that of a rocket, he may not be able to take a good position before the game plot begins.

"How can it be so easy, sister, your ability is much higher than mine, if you really want me to go, it is unlikely that you will be a vice president before the age of 30..."

Lin Mo's face didn't blush, and he praised Xu Wanxue vigorously.

He is also telling the truth, the worldview of Cyberpunk 2077 is in some ways born out of the original Blue Star world, so every company here has its own characteristics.

For example, the Arasaka company pays attention to the distinction between respect and inferiority, which is very much in line with the values of bushido; Military Technology, on the other hand, is a militarized company that pays attention to obedience.

As for Kang Tao... It's about connections.

It's just that due to the peculiarity of Night City's geographical location, this feature has been transformed a lot, and the major companies stationed in the city have basically only set up branches here.

If there was no one on top, Lin Mo felt that he really didn't have much hope of being able to mix like a fish in water in Kangtao Company.

Therefore, Xu Wanxue can take the position of vice president at the age of less than 30, which is already a kind of ability.

Hearing Lin Mo's answer, Xu Wanxue also heard that Lin Mo actually had something to say.

With a little thought, she could more or less guess what was going on in the kid's mind.

"You kid, since I was a child, I only complimented me like this, I used to be stupid and thought that you were telling the truth, and I felt that I really had the ability to create a good environment for you, but now it seems that you have made a lot of money at that time, how can I see this little achievement?" Xu Wanxue scolded with a smile.

Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders, his expression quite innocent.

Xu Wanxue put away her smile, sighed, looked at Lin Mo and said faintly:

"Actually, if these things hadn't happened, I originally planned to take you back to China this summer."

"Huh?" Lin Mo looked at Xu Wanxue suspiciously, waiting for her next words.

"I mainly want to take you to meet my parents, I haven't been back for eight years here, and now I think it's time to take you back." Xu Wanxue saw Lin Mo's doubts and explained briefly.

"Your home?" Lin Mo asked.

"Yes, I haven't been back all these years, and those two old things don't know what happened, it's better to go back if you think about it, after all, if it weren't for you, I might have been assassinated today, I've been here for so many years, and I know that there are a lot of accidents that happen every day in Night City, but I didn't expect it to happen to me one day." Xu Wan Xue Di muttered.

My sister's parents... So what should I call it?

Do you call your parents, or do you call your uncles and aunts?

Lin Mo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Uncle and aunt... How are you doing over there? After thinking about it, Lin Mo still chose the latter title.

"Those two guys don't need me to worry, instead of worrying about the two of them, it's better to worry about me, I almost lost my life when I came to Night City in anger, if it weren't for you, I guess I would have run back in ashes." Xu Wanxue said.

Lin Mo: ......

How can you listen to this, my sister's parents are over there, and they seem to be quite powerful?

"What do aunts and uncles do?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"Like me, manage one or two branches..."Xu Wanxue said unconcernedly.

Lin Mo's face suddenly became quite exciting.

Why is this chatting and chatting more and more wrong?

"So, I don't seem to have mentioned the situation over there to you..."Xu Wanxue also realized this problem, smiled and said:

"I've been thinking about making a name for myself in Night City for all these years, and I didn't tell you these things for the sake of your identity, but now that I think about it, it's time to mention it to you."

"Listen up." Lin Mo immediately sat on the opposite side.

Xu Wanxue asked rhetorically: "Do you know under the leadership of which person Kangtao Company revitalized and grew into a world giant company?" ”

"Xu Shiming." Lin Mo replied without thinking, this kind of common sense has been taught in the classrooms of the academy.

However, after saying the name, he also realized something, and his eyes widened slightly.

"Sister, you and he are both surnamed Xu..."

Before, he hadn't thought the name was anything strange.

But now after Xu Wanxue's reminder...

"Don't be naïve, he can only be regarded as my clan uncle, or clan uncle, I am just an inconspicuous little person in the Xu family, I used to only see him from afar at the family party during the festival, if I have something to do with him, why work hard here in Night City?"

Xu Wanxue broke Lin Mo's illusion with a few casual words.

Lin Mo suddenly realized, and some small doubts that were not problems in the past have also been solved:

"So you can become the vice president of Qiantai Company because you are a member of the Xu family?"

The corners of Xu Wanxue's mouth twitched slightly, she suddenly got up, leaned forward and stretched out her hand to flick Lin Mo's forehead, and said angrily:

"Sure enough, you kid is really flamboyant, just now I was praising my sister for her strong ability, and now I think I'm relying on personal connections!"

Lin Mo was silent.

At such times, silence and silence to hide embarrassment is the best response.

"However, I did rub a little bit of this surname, I became the vice president of Qiantai Company at this age, and I also made others in the company dare not touch me, just because my surname is Xu." Xu Wanxue sat back on the sofa and began to laugh at herself.

This is understandable, reincarnation is sometimes a science...... Lin Mo said secretly, but he didn't dare to say such impolite words to his face.

Although Xu Wanxue is saying self-deprecating words, if he dares to comment on the other party's self-deprecation, he will have to eat a "sister's love" in a second.

"Sister, do you plan to let me go back to China with you, and do you also want to introduce me to your parents?" Lin Mo changed the topic and asked.

Xu Wanxue nodded:

"Sort of, you are so clever and intelligent, I believe those two old things will like you very much, according to my original idea, if you join the company in the future, at least you will have a backer......"

As soon as she said this, there was a slight knock on the door of the office, Xu Wanxue frowned, tidied up her appearance, and said solemnly:

"Come in."

The door of the office opened, and a long straight black woman walked in, Lin Mo looked at it, only to see that the other party had a delicate face with classical charm, and walked quite amorous.

The woman held two layers of folded quilts with two pillows in both hands, walked up to Xu Wanxue and respectfully handed them over, and said softly:

"President Xu, this is the quilt you want."

Xu Wanxue took the two thin quilts and pillows with an indifferent expression, nodded and said, "I'm sorry for you, let's get off work and rest tonight." ”

The woman whispered, paced back, and left the place.

Seeing the woman leave, Xu Wanxue's face softened, and she looked at Lin Mo and introduced:

"She is my secretary's assistant, don't look at her so soft and weak, in fact, she has implanted a lot of combat prostheses, even if she acts as a bodyguard temporarily, she is not inferior to a senior mercenary."

Lin Mo retracted his gaze to observe the woman, and nodded calmly, but in his heart he was thinking about this kind of ordinary combat power, that is, a matter of a knife.

"Well, she's not bad-looking... Are you interested in getting to know each other? Xu Wanxue suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"Generally, I'm not interested, I shouldn't be able to beat me in a fight anyway..."Lin Mo replied casually.

However, in the next second, he seemed to realize that Xu Wanxue had something to say, and couldn't help but ask with a somewhat strange expression.

"What are you talking about... Sister, aren't you against me falling in love? ”

Xu Wanxue smiled and disagreed:

"I told you not to fall in love at school before, but I actually wanted not to let you be defiled by these things of love and love... Although the current atmosphere is very open, you must not feel that your first time is not worth it. ”

Lin Momeng's eyes widened, and he didn't understand why Xu Wanxue suddenly brought up this topic.

What a place to be!

"I know you're surprised, but hear me out." Xu Wanxue said helplessly:

"Your appearance and ability are actually a very precious capital, those real business predators in China, they have to look at each other's genes in addition to the other party's family background and personality ability for their children's spouses."

"According to my original expectations, after taking you back to China, I can also find a suitable opportunity to take you into the social circle, and with your foundation, it is not difficult to find a woman with a prominent background as a fiancée, so that in the future, whether you are mixing in the company or starting a business, you can be regarded as having the backer of your father-in-law's family."

Lin Mo was speechless for a moment.

He really didn't expect that Xu Wanxue would actually help him take this into account...

And when she said this, her discipline seemed to be tall all of a sudden, it turned out that the body of a boy is not only very useful for practicing martial arts, but also very popular in this aspect?

Is this the legendary soft rice and hard food?

"As far as I know, Xu Shiming's granddaughter seems to be still single and very beautiful, if you can get along with her, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future." Xu Wanxue babbled.

"Sister, don't worry about me, instead of caring about me, you should care about yourself, you're about to run three." Lin Mo complained.

I really didn't expect that at his age, he actually experienced the distress of being urged to marry by his elders during the New Year's holidays in the Blue Star world.

"Me? Forget it, I have long planned to live alone, anyway, the matter of inheritance has nothing to do with me, and there are other brothers and sisters in the family besides me. Xu Wanxue shook her head and refused, then looked at Lin Mo and solemnly admonished:

"Anyway, anyway, you'd better not mess around until you're an adult! Take care of yourself, you know? ”

Lin Mo nodded repeatedly.

Speaking of this, Xu Wanxue also seemed to be a little tired, yawned, and her eyes were slightly sleepy.

She picked up a quilt and pillow and threw it on Lin Mo's sofa, and said a little tiredly:

"You're going to sleep here tonight, it's actually pretty good to sleep on this couch."

"Do you usually sleep in the office when you work overtime?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.

"It's almost, after all, I can continue to work when I get up, but after I became the vice president, my work on weekdays is not so tiring, mainly because I am also the project leader of a product... So there is a lot of overtime in these months. ”

Xu Wanxue hugged the quilt, skillfully put the pillow back, and lay down on the sofa with her body hooked, her movements so smooth that she didn't know how many times she had practiced.

"Product? Is it Ann Weistan? Lin Mo's eyes moved.

Xu Wanxue pondered for a while, remembering that the research and development of the product had already ended, and now it was about to enter the mass production stage, and the confidentiality work did not need to be too rigorous, so she did not hide it and said:

"Well, as you guessed, it's a fourth-generation speed component."

Lin Mo's brows jumped wildly: "When will it be released?" ”

Xu Wanxue shrank in the quilt, showing her head and looking at Lin Mo who was lying on the sofa opposite:

"Why do you ask this? Would you like to try implanting this prosthesis? Don't you have a third-generation speed component? ”

When Lin Mo confessed to her before, he also said that he had implanted the Sianweistein Type 3, and he was very handy in using it, and it was also with this prosthesis that he had made a lot of achievements.

However, they asked themselves, Xu Wanxue was still reluctant to let Lin Mo implant these prosthetics... But she also knew she couldn't stop it.

It's better to say that it involves the affairs of marginal people related to mercenaries, and if you don't implant some prostheses, it's a problem just to save your life... Xu Wanxue also understands this truth.

"I feel like I have the strength to implant this latest generation of speed components." Lin Mo said calmly.

The corners of Xu Wanxue's mouth twitched, and she just wanted to refute, but Lin Mo's confident gaze blocked her words again.

It seems that this is indeed the case, although this kid is not serious on weekdays, he really won't do things that he is not sure of.

However, when the words came to her lips, Xu Wanxue still didn't give Lin Mo an exact answer, but just silently turned around and left Lin Mo with a back:

"Go to bed early!"
