Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 102 Sasha Yakovleva (thanks to the leader of Keli sauce)
The next day.

The sun is shining brightly.

Gloria rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched her waist, her pajamas tightened instantly, revealing her mature curves, and then walked out of the bedroom in a daze.

She yawned, only to realize that the TV in the living room was playing all the time, and David was curled up on the sofa, sound asleep.

Gloria was a little surprised. David came back late last night, and he didn't expect to sleep on the sofa without even changing his shirt.

She walked up to David and called softly, "David?"

David was still sleeping soundly, not responding at all.

Gloria felt sorry for her son, so she worked so hard just after going to the company for an internship. He came back late almost every day.

"I must be very busy working in the company!"

But she also thinks it's worth it, at least David has the opportunity to enter a big company, and doesn't have to be exhausted at the bottom like she used to be.

Fortunately, everything has changed.

Since Tang Yu invited her to be an intermediary, everything is developing in a good way.

David got the opportunity to intern at Arasaka Company, and she can earn more money to maintain this small family, without having to worry about rent, water and electricity bills and other issues.

Gloria picked up the suit jacket that had fallen on the floor and carefully draped it over David.

"mom?"

Unexpectedly, this small action awakened the sleeping David.

Gloria comforted her apologetically, "It's not time for work yet, so you can sleep for a while."

David resisted the drowsiness and sat up, patted his swollen face to cheer him up.

"Mom, it's okay, I have to go early today, and there are still a few materials that have not been sorted out, so we can't slow down the progress of the group."

As David spoke, he picked up his suit jacket and put it on, and began to simply pack up and prepare to go.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Gloria had no choice but to bring David some breakfast first.

"Today, according to the latest financial reports, NCPD's stock price has been sold on a large scale, and the holding index has continued to fall, which may be related to the "Business You and Me Talk" program broadcast last night, which disclosed a combat implant between military technology and NCPD. Transaction Procurement Program”

The morning news of WNS was being broadcast on the TV. David was immediately attracted by the news content, and stopped halfway through the tie.

Gloria came over with breakfast, saw that David was fascinated by watching TV, and turned to the TV curiously.

"Currently, many protesters have gathered in front of the NCPD building to express their dissatisfaction with the procurement incident. The NCPD official has not made any statement in response."

"According to the Night City Municipal News Office, Mayor Lucius Lane will hold a press conference with the main person in charge of NCPD this morning to explain matters related to NCPD's large-scale procurement, and invite senior officials from the Military Science and Technology Outreach Department Attend."

Gloria watched the news broadcast and quickly realized that it had something to do with what she had experienced yesterday.

Matt Leo was used by military technology and became the subject of a combat implant experiment, which has been thoroughly exposed to everyone in Night City.

It seems that there has been a lot of movement. Since last night, some people have come out to demonstrate and protest against the city's inaction in Night City.

Publicly accused NCPD of purchasing experimental combat implants of military technology, which seriously threatened the safety of urban residents.

In addition, Arasaka's major media outlets are fully engaged, and they even focus on military technology, NCPD, and the municipal government, believing that they have more secret contacts that are not known in private.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The large-scale protest crowd even directly surrounded the NCPD building.

There are also scattered people who ran to the Civic Center in the Valley area, or under the military technology building in the company square, holding banners and shouting slogans to protest what the company did.

Although these dirty things are not new, they have indeed caused dissatisfaction among many veterans, street vagrants, and many residents.

Everyone is afraid of cyber maniacs, but even more afraid of the violent mobile team that may become cyber maniacs.

Soon, the WNS news station connected to the protest site of the NCPD building, and the reporter interviewed a protester.

"Excuse me, what do you think of the Mattelio incident?"

"I look at the *****, these companies* are colluding with the high-level municipal officials. I have already said that Lucius Lane has got into the eyes of the money, including those from the NCPD. Who has nothing to do with the gangsters? Grass Fucking Night City, sloppy corporate idiots."

After finishing speaking, he slapped the middle finger fiercely at the camera, but the camera was cut off immediately, and he returned to the director's studio.

"Currently, the NCPD has dispatched police officers to forcibly disperse the protesters in an attempt to suppress the voice of the crowd"

Gloria was shocked. She didn't expect this incident to become such a big deal, which was far beyond her expectations.

At that time, I thought that Tang Yu was looking for Mowell or Matt Leo to investigate the military technology experimental prosthetic body, just like the military technology Sian Weistein, just deal with it secretly after getting it.

But judging from now, Tang Yu should have directly exposed all the content.

Things are getting bigger and bigger, and Tang Yu will definitely not be able to run away when he is held accountable.

She began to worry a little, would Arasaka choose to deal with him in order to calm things down?

Gloria held the breakfast in her hands tightly, feeling a little lost.

After watching the news, David realized that something big might happen in the company today. When he was about to pick up breakfast, he found Gloria stunned.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Hearing David's question, Gloria came back to her senses, and quickly handed the breakfast in her hand to David, explaining.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired these two days."

David found it strange that Gloria was obviously not as busy as before in the past two days, and he didn't know what she was running outside, but he didn't think much about it, and rushed to work by himself.

"Okay, mom, you pay attention to rest, I'm going to work first."

David took his breakfast, walked quickly to the door, put on his leather shoes and hurried out.

In the blink of an eye, Gloria was alone at home again.

Seeing that David had gone far away, she hurriedly started to re-watch the previous news, and only then did she learn about what was exposed in "Business You and Me Talk" last night.

"It's really half a beat too late, how can you sleep on such a big matter?"

Gloria rubbed her temples helplessly, recalling what happened yesterday.

I ran around with Tang Yu yesterday, first went to find Mowell, and lined up with a woman who was about to become a cyber lunatic, and was so nervous that I was sweating.

Then I witnessed a life-and-death fight with my own eyes. The bloody scene makes me panic when I think about it now.

In the end, it was affected for no reason and suffered a wave of electromagnetic pulse damage.

Before the whole person recovered, he followed Tang Yu into Delaman and rushed all the way to the viaduct.

Blow up the Sixth Street Gang, smash into the Animal Gang, and start the speed chase again after robbing people.

If it weren't for Tang Yu's precise sniper marksmanship, maybe everyone would have to explain it there.

Gloria has been working for so many years, and she has seen a lot of life and death, but compared to this kind of melee, it is really the first time.

Bloodsickness, electricity sickness, motion sickness, etc., after a whole set of procedures, can you not be confused?
At that time, Tang Yu stayed to continue to deal with follow-up matters, summoned his exclusive company car, and sent Gloria back to the apartment first.

Gloria immediately vomited on the toilet when she got home, suppressed her dizziness, washed up, and changed into clean pajamas. She was so dizzy that she fell asleep.

I accidentally had a nightmare.

I dreamed that I fell into the deep sea and was besieged by a group of terrifying big sharks, and passed out again in the dream.

I didn't have the heart to think about other things all night, and when I woke up, it was already daylight.

Gloria was really shocked after finishing the news last night, which means that so many major events happened later, and she was completely unaware of it.

She turned the aperture of her prosthetic eye, and quickly checked the call message records. Fortunately, there was no missed call from Tang Yu.

Gloria sighed lightly: "Oh, it's really hard to keep up with Mr. Tang's pace."

She went into the bathroom and rubbed her face with cold water, trying to wake herself up.

Looking at himself in the electronic mirror screen, his complexion has become much rosier, and he has gained weight unknowingly.

She stretched out her hands and pinched her cheeks, and sure enough there were so many lumps.

It's just that thanks to her bone phase and figure, she doesn't look fat, but adds a bit of curves.

"Did the food get better?"

Gloria thought about it, she seemed to be the same old, and she didn't eat anything delicious.

"Maybe because I slept more."

This was the only answer she could think of.

Thanks to Tang Yu, she hasn't slept like this for a long time and woke up naturally. David used to wake her up from the sofa, but now the poles are reversed.

Suddenly, she thought that the money she earned recently, as well as Mann's remuneration, were all paid by Tang Yu.

"Hey, why do I feel like a bloodsucker, and I don't know if Arasaka will reimburse these expenses."

"The double minister should have a high salary. I really hope that David can be like Mr. Tang one day."

Gloria only felt that her thoughts were rushing, and she yawned unconsciously again, 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 arrived today.

"Is there something important?"

He felt a little unusual, so he walked carefully to his office and sat down, turned on the office computer, pretended to stare at the screen, and actually eavesdropped on the situation of his colleagues around him.

Fortunately, the colleagues around him are also very familiar with each other, and they didn't shy away from him as a foreign intern, and they still started gossiping with each other.

"The board meeting is going to be held again today. Did you read the news yesterday? You're tearing yourself apart from the building opposite!"

"Why didn't I look at it, and I don't know why I suddenly got into trouble. I remember that the superiors always gave way to the opposite side."

"Don't dare to give up. According to the news from the acquaintance at the headquarters, that person may come here."

"What else is there? No wonder the face is torn apart suddenly, that guy is a hardliner."

that one?

David didn't know who they were referring to, but he could feel that his status must be 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 the Arasaka Company, centered on the WNS news station, launched a round of bombing of military technology in an all-round way, and thoroughly hyped the Mattlio incident to its peak.

For a while, Night City suddenly began to care about the veterans and disabled soldiers, expressed their hatred for the cruel methods of military technology, and strongly protested their purchase transaction with NCPD, and a tens of millions of business was ruined like this.

"But that's not the point. I heard that today's board meeting is related to our deputy minister, Mr. Tang."

"I know. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have come so early. Something happened. Maybe Mr. Tang made this news. In case the upper management wants to use him as a cover."

"Shh, you can't talk nonsense. Whether it's a merit or a demerit is up to the boss to decide."

Mr. Tang?
When David heard them discussing Tang Yu's name, he immediately became alert, not quite understanding how this matter could be related to Tang Yu.

It's a pity that the counterintelligence colleagues are more taboo about gossip and direct leadership, so they keep silent when it comes to this.

David was really itchy. Others didn't want to chat, but he was not very good at asking questions. He had no choice but to turn his attention back to the computer and start preparing for today's work.

Suddenly, he heard a noise around him, and his colleagues stood up one after another.

"Mr. Tang, good morning."

"Morning, Mr. Tang"

"Mr. Tang, do I need to prepare breakfast and coffee for you?"

David also stood up quickly, just in time to see Tang Yu passing by the office area, and colleagues around him were greeting him warmly.

But Tang Yu looked very indifferent, he just waved his hands casually, signaling everyone to continue working, without any superfluous expression.

"It turns out that Mr. Tang is like this in the company."

David looked around, and didn't seem to have any opinions or opinions on Tang Yu's indifference.

He was a little puzzled, Mr. Tang was so indifferent to his subordinates, why everyone not only didn't say bad things, but greeted them warmly.

After Tang Yu left the office area, colleagues from the counterintelligence department sat down one after another, and David sat down after hesitating for a while.

Finally, he made up his mind to ask the female colleague next to him, who seemed to have a kind face and a capable temperament with her hair combed back.

Brothers and sisters are not called in the company, regardless of their age, they are called by their first names, and the suffixes of 'Mr' or 'Ms' and 'Miss' are added to show respect, and you can choose to address your position when facing your superiors.

"Ms. Joanne, may I ask how long has Mr. Tang been the deputy director of the counterintelligence department?"

The big-backed lady looked at David a little strangely, as if she felt that he shouldn't ask this question, but she replied patiently: "It's been more than a year, but Mr. Tang has been away a lot, and he just came back from a mission at the border. The city is not long."

Instead, a colleague from the other side came up and interjected: "David Martinez, Arasaka Academy came to the company for an internship. Which department do your parents work in? It's not an easy relationship to be able to come to the Counter-Intelligence Department for an internship."

Facing the curious question from his colleagues, David was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to mention his family situation, so he forced a smile and said, "No, no, I paid for the school, not the company guarantee."

Arasaka Academy's guaranteed enrollment quota is limited to internal personnel of the company. Children of high-level students enjoy free admission throughout the entire process, while middle and low-level students can enjoy tuition fee reductions, but they need to pay related teaching funds.

Hearing that David is not a child of the company, the two colleagues obviously lacked interest, but they still reminded: "Anyway, in the counterintelligence internship, the most important thing is to learn to keep your mouth shut. Intelligence leaks are no joke."

Another colleague asked: "Why do I remember that the deputy director seems to be the lifelong practice judge mentor this year, David, do you know about this?"

David quickly nodded in affirmation: "Yes, the mentor of our practical judges this year is Mr. Tang."

The two female colleagues nodded: "Oh, then you have to work hard, Mr. Tang is notoriously strict."

David suddenly thought of the scene with Tang Yu in the tea restaurant that day. He didn't feel as strict as they said, but gave people a sense of gentleness.

Seeing that David was stunned, the two colleagues didn't seem to believe it, and added: "The day Mr. Tang just came back, he was attacked by people from the Animal Gang on the viaduct. Yesterday, the dead people won the lottery, and the Animal Gang contributed a few cars. , the special service team of the Ministry went to the scene, as for the specific details, I can’t say more.”

"You have only been in the ministry for a short time, and you don't understand many things. In short, work honestly."

After listening to the introduction 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.

"Did you get attacked just after returning to Night City?"

David returned to his office and couldn't help thinking about what happened in those days.

Tang Yu, Animal Gang, car accident, real death dream, cyberpunk who broke into the house, Gloria resigned, Ember Restaurant, slapping Katsuo Tanaka, entering the company as an intern, and seeing his mother wearing a long dress from the deserted area that day The company car gets down.

He felt that some kind of power was pulling him, and all the things that happened recently were too unbelievable for him.

Everything is undergoing subtle changes, and there is a turning point at the right time. Why is this?Unlucky 17 years of life come to an end?
Obviously not, because everything here has the shadow of Tang Yu, and David discovered the crux of the problem.

Why did Mr. Tang help himself like this?

David was really puzzled.

This feeling is like, someone broke into your life suddenly, gave you a hand when passing by, and left without leaving a trace.

Like clouds, like rain, and like wind.

He has no intention of working at all now, and suddenly came up with an idea, why not try to invite Tang Yu to have a meal at noon today.

Probably won't refuse.

David fell into deep entanglement, and he couldn't help turning his eyes to the direction of Tang Yu's office. He was curious about what he was doing, and he might be actively preparing for the battle. After all, the upcoming board meeting has a lot to do with him, and I'm afraid it has something to do with the future destiny.

at this time.

Tang Yu is sitting in the office, holding a cup of hot tea leisurely, waiting for the meeting of the board of directors in the morning.

In fact, he could tell from Arasaka's actions this morning that Michiko still chose the latter, trying to win him over to join her faction.

Otherwise, the Arasaka media matrix would not be used so vigorously to bombard military technology.

Arasaka's attitude seemed to indicate that he would not give up until he gave military technology a hard time.

Michiko made such a big fuss by using the topic to make a big fuss, maybe she had her own calculations, maybe she was worried that Arasaka Yoshinobu would come to Night City, so she burned incense temporarily to show favor to some hardliners in the company.

In the final analysis, those who really want to work with military technology and hope that Arasaka will close down as soon as possible, from the beginning to the end, there is only Arasaka Laishu, provided that Tang Yu and Johnny are not counted.

Tang Yu sighed softly: "If this man 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."

Tang Yu took a sip of hot tea. He had already prepared himself mentally, and he didn't care what happened to the board of directors today.

On the contrary, he thought of his old boss Arthur Jenkins. This guy has been away on business for so long and hasn't come back. He is really annoyed that he has to deal with a lot of messy things in the department.

In addition, the Special Operations Department has not reported it in a serious manner. When I have time, I will bring over the recent mission-related expenses and reimburse them uniformly.

It cost a lot to run an errand for Michiko this time.

It cost 10,000+ before and after the entrustment. In addition, Delaman car rental and damage compensation, etc., have added up to 20 euros.

Even if I have no credit and hard work, I should reimburse more as appropriate, and I can't give Xiao Michiko a black job for free.

Tang Yu calculated, and reported a 30 Euro gold, which is not bad.

This is much richer than when he returned to Night City just now, otherwise it would be difficult for Lao Wei to give him a pair of smart glasses and pay [-] Euros.

"Money is really important."

Just when Tang Yu was feeling emotional, the gate of the office showed that someone was visiting. After checking it, he found that it was Arasaka's personal bodyguard.

Michiko?

The uniforms of the two bodyguards this time are similar to the last two, but they have changed.

Tang Yu opened the door of the office and let the other party enter the room to talk.

as predicted.

It was Michiko who invited him to sit in the director's exclusive office upstairs, where he participated in the board of directors through a remote connection.

Tang Yu didn't refuse, got up and followed the bodyguard to Xiao Michiko's office floor again.

As soon as he got out of the public elevator, he underwent two blue light scans. After confirming safety, a female guide stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, hello, please go this way."

Tang Yu followed the guide to Michiko's office.

Stepping on the soft blanket, the pace was silent, and the guide continued to explain the relevant situation.

"Mr. Tang, director Michiko has already gone to the Jungle meeting room on the 78th floor, and is preparing to hold a senior board meeting of Arasaka. I specially invite you to attend the meeting remotely and online at her office. A special assistant will serve you later."

Tang Yu nodded slightly. Anyway, it is the same to participate remotely and online, and it is more comfortable to watch on the big screen in Michiko's office.

The two came to the familiar large fine steel gate again.

The wizard prompts: "Director Michiko has enabled identity verification for you, please wait here for a while."

After finishing speaking, the female guide took the initiative to step aside and stood beside her respectfully.

Tang Yu didn't expect Xiao Michiko to be so generous. She gave herself the authority to enter and exit the exclusive office, and arranged special assistant services, which can be regarded as sincerity.

He waited for two seconds, and the identity was confirmed successfully, the door opened automatically, and the familiar water mist curtain covered the interior of the office.

Tang Yu walked straight in, the mist gradually dissipated, and the office floor, which was half the size of a football field, was extremely spacious, but the most conspicuous thing was a set of lonely desks and chairs.

He had just stepped into the office when he heard someone introduce him.

"Mr. Tang, hello."

"I am Special Assistant Sasha Yakovleva."

"It's a pleasure to serve you."

　Instant Noodles: "Johnny, Johnny, look what I caught, it's cute, Cory."

　　Johnny: "I think this girl looks good, I feel relieved, tell V, you have a guardian angel."

　　Instant noodles: "After all, he is our honorable leader!"

　　Johnny: "It's almost done, if you force me to continue, I have to find words"

　　Instant noodles: "You have suffered from being uneducated."

　　Johnny: "Stop talking, destroy it, I'll get two thermonuclear bombs"
