Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 110 Raising Cats at Home (Thanks to 'Little Awen')
The next day.

Santo Domingo, Valley District.

David yawned big, pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the living room, only to find that the living room was empty.

"mom?"

He tried shouting, but there was no response when he saw Gloria's bedroom door open.

"Where did you go so early in the morning?"

David grumbled and walked into the bathroom, began washing up and getting ready for work.

He got off the morning shift yesterday, and after having dinner with Tang Yu at noon, he felt much better.

David scooped up a puddle of cold water in both hands, rubbed his face hard, refreshed himself for a moment, and looked up at himself in the electronic mirror screen.

The brows, eyes and bones are vaguely angular, which can be regarded as a bit of an adult appearance.

David couldn't help but recall what he said yesterday. Tang Yu told him to be himself.

It's a pity that he didn't live up to it at the time, and wept heavily. He obviously didn't understand the meaning of the words, but he was inexplicably moved.

David clutched his face tightly with both palms, feeling a burst of regret welling up in his heart, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and get into it.

When he was sleeping last night, the damn memories and scenes kept sneaking up on him. Every time he thought of crying in front of Tang Yu, he was so embarrassed that he almost twisted into a bug in the bed.

What a shame!

He, David, is also a man who is about to turn eighteen, how could he lose his composure and cry in front of Mr. Tang.

And what Mr. Tang said, now that I taste it carefully, it doesn't seem like comfort or encouragement. How can I be so easily moved, so that now when I think of Tang Yu, my mind is full of chaos.

"Little Brother, Mr. Tang calls me Little Brother"

"Oh, I'm still a kid"

"However, Mr. Tang seems to be quite nice to me"

David lowered his hands, his big face was covered with ten finger prints, which were red.

He looked at himself in the mirror and fell into an extremely entangled situation.

"Do you still want to go to the company today?"

"I hope Mr. Tang can forget about what happened at noon yesterday."

"Don't do such stupid things again, it's okay to invite Mr. Tang to dinner"

David slapped his face, trying to cheer himself up.

No matter how embarrassing it is, you have to bite the bullet and go to work. At worst, it's better to hide a little bit. After a long time, Mr. Tang will naturally forget about it.

David firmly believes that Tang Yu, who is also the deputy director of the dual departments, must be very busy, and there is no time to remember these things.

He took two deep breaths in front of the mirror, and after finishing his appearance, he ran to the living room to change clothes.

Suit, tie, leather shoes, and finally some pomade to fix the hairstyle.

David in the mirror looked like a company employee.

The suit was newly bought by Gloria for him. It was a relatively high-end suit. Although it was not as luxurious as Jinguji, it was enough for going to work.

David deeply understands his mother's intentions. He doesn't want to receive strange eyes because of his clothes when he is an intern at Arasaka Tower.

After tidying up, David opened the door and set off towards Arasaka Tower, starting a busy day for the company dog.

Soon.

David arrived at his destination, the counterintelligence department on the 33rd floor of Arasaka Tower.

He greeted the front desk as usual, and then walked to his office, only to find that everyone was present again.

David looked at the time suspiciously. It was still early before going to work. Could it be that today is another big day?

After working in the counterintelligence department for a period of time, he discovered that his colleagues in the department had a habit.

Whenever a major event happened yesterday, or is about to happen today, everyone will come very early, and then gossip and discuss in small groups.

It's like you can skip breakfast, but you can't listen to gossip. It's like the stock market opens. Trading all kinds of fresh intelligence early in the morning, the counterintelligence department really lives on intelligence.

David, who was gradually getting used to everything, pretended to be absent-minded, and walked slowly towards the office.

When passing by other colleagues' desks, you can hear some gossip.

Some female colleagues will keep complaining about their husbands, some male colleagues will keep complaining about the high-end places they go to, and some will discuss the recent situation of other companies.

David hardly understands, and can't get in the conversation at all, just like a little guy who just entered the city, listening to what the big brothers talk about is fresh and enjoyable.

But today, all colleagues seem to be talking about the same problem.

"Something has happened. I heard that there was a new personnel change late last night. It was so sudden that a colleague from the personnel department said it secretly."

"I also heard the wind, it may be related to our department."

"Could it be that a newcomer is coming, the boss has been away on business for so long, and there is no news."

"I heard that it is a high-level department, and I guess it is very likely to be the new deputy minister."

"what?!"

New Deputy Minister?

David was taken aback, distracted, and almost went to the wrong work position.

He hurried back to his work position, turned on the electronic screen and pretended to tidy up the desktop, while pricking up his ears to listen to the chats of his colleagues.

If a new deputy minister is really coming, it will be a serious matter, and Mr. Tang may be in trouble.

Concentrating, he listened to the exchange of information between several colleagues.

A charming lady, wearing a pair of black stockings, said quietly: "This is not a random guess, it is well-founded. Just think about it, Boss Tang has come to our department as many times as you can count on your fingers."

Another short-haired cool lady echoed: "Yes, and according to the Special Operations Department, Boss Tang has never been to their place, and he left after reimbursement of the expenses yesterday."

"It's obvious. Boss Tang is throwing a face at them. In the past, relying on the majority of departments, every time we cooperated, we would rub their tails on them. Thinking about it makes me annoyed!"

Sister Fengfeng saw it more thoroughly, and confidently analyzed: "How can it be so simple? At their level, how can they care about these things? What I want to say is that Boss Tang has never been to the Special Operations Department, and the board of directors will definitely not let him go. Yes, nine out of ten are talking about this."

The legs under Miss Fengfeng's short skirt changed positions again, stacked them up and continued to preach: "Since Boss Tang has two departments and the counterintelligence department is too busy, he will naturally arrange for a new deputy director to share the burden. And this matter was mentioned by the board of directors before, but it was not approved.”

Sister Ku exclaimed in a low voice: "Then the new deputy minister's airborne so fast this time, I'm afraid it was arranged by the superiors. It was confirmed in one night. This speed is too fast, and I'm afraid it has a lot of background."

Sister Fengfeng nodded meaningfully, expressing her approval of Sister Ku's point of view, and then added: "There is no need to guess, you will know when you go to work later, Boss Tang may not come today, let's wait and see."

Sister Ku cried sourly and said, "Oh, I don't want to have more than one big mountain on my head, Boss Tang is the best alone!"

Sister Fengfeng smiled helplessly, with dimples on the corners of her mouth, and sighed silently in her heart: "Who is not? I haven't reported to Boss Tang alone, and I don't know if there is still a chance, alas."

Several people sighed, and seeing that the time was almost up, they all returned to their workbenches one after another, reorganized their moods and started today's work.

After listening to David Martinez, he sat in his seat and was suddenly distraught.

To him, these intelligence messages were simply too shocking.

The counterintelligence department actually wants one more deputy minister, so Tang Yu will have one more competitor.

He knows the evaluation of Tang Yu by the people around him, saying that he is a lone wolf who offends people too easily.

Whether it is Susan Abernathy, the director of special operations, Tanaka, the director of the R&D department, or other large and small employees in other departments, they all have a bad impression of Tang Yu, thinking that he is not easy to deal with and likes to show off.

David doesn't think so. During the period of contact with Tang Yu, he thinks that he is not as cold and majestic as everyone said.

David admitted in his heart that he couldn't understand or guess Tang Yu at all.

Tang Yu's world is unattainable.

Whether it is his height or his hidden interior, outsiders have no way of knowing.

But David firmly believes in his intuition, just like Tang Yu's words, which will inexplicably touch the depths of his heart. It is obviously not a big reason, but there is a sense of healing.

But the struggles and arrangements of the company's top management are completely beyond his knowledge and involvement as an intern.

Who will be the deputy minister in the end can only be left to fate.

David looked up at the aisle in the office area, but he didn't see any familiar figure. He was anxiously waiting for the moment to go to work.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The entire office area began to quiet down strangely, which seemed to indicate that this was a sign before the storm.

Many colleagues began to look around, staring at the direction of the public elevator.

Sudden.

There was a commotion from the direction of the public elevator, as if a group of people were coming, and the colleagues in the office area immediately became alert, realizing that the one who should come was still here, and they all pricked up their ears to listen for the movement at the front desk.

The front desk of the department saw a group of people walking out of the public elevator, chatting and laughing happily, surrounded by bodyguards from Arasaka, obviously high-level company officials, the front desk immediately got up to greet them.

This group of people walked to the front desk, and then someone introduced: "This is the new deputy director of your counterintelligence department, Ms. Kate."

The front desk scanned the identity and recognized that the other party was the deputy director of the personnel department. He quickly reacted and politely called: "Ms. Kate, good morning."

Kate looked arrogant, her brown-red hair was braided into two strings, and her eye sockets were cyber-implanted and transformed into square vision system processors, emitting a faint red light.

She was expressionless and didn't say much.

The senior personnel of the personnel department had no choice but to ask: "Is Mr. Jenkins in the office?"

The front desk replied in response: "Mr. Jenkins is on a business trip and has not been working in the department recently."

The deputy director of the personnel department was a little displeased, and then asked: "What about your deputy director, Mr. Tang?"

The front desk told the truth, and replied: "Mr. Tang is on a field trip, and he is not working in the department today."

When the new deputy minister took office, the huge counterintelligence department did not have a high-level executive to receive him. This was somewhat contemptuous.

The deputy director of the personnel department clearly remembered that the appointment notice had already been sent to Arthur Jenkins, so he shouldn't treat the new deputy director so coldly.

The deputy director of the personnel department knew that Kate's background was not simple, and he could suddenly become the deputy director overnight, so he couldn't deal with it casually, so he asked a little angrily, "Then, is the new office of your deputy director ready?"

front desk:"."

He just felt dumbfounded, he hadn't received any notice, how could he prepare for the deputy minister's office in advance.

The Counterintelligence Department has a free independent office, but has not received any notice, who will take care of the free office.

The deputy director of the personnel department directly reprimanded: "Then hurry up and make arrangements!"

The front desk was criticized for no reason, and quickly started to notify people to tidy up the office.

Kate was on the side, and said in a cold tone: "Today is just to come and see, everyone can send it here."

Hearing the Lord's words, the deputy head of the personnel department felt that the appointment had already been done, and there was really no need to stay here.

The senior executives of the company who accompanied here saw that Kate was devastated on the first day of taking office, and knew that she was somewhat unhappy, so they no longer reluctantly stayed.

After saying goodbye, everyone left the counterintelligence department.

At the front desk, only the new Deputy Minister Kate and another subordinate who was transferred from the Special Operations Department to the Counter Intelligence Department were left.

Kate ignored the front desk, walked directly into the office area, and began to inspect on her own.

Since she has reported to the counterintelligence department, the personnel department has generated Kate's new job identity information, and the counterintelligence department staff can confirm her identity through scanning.

Kate didn't change her face, and walked in the aisle, carefully looking at the layout and details of the counterintelligence department.

Some counterintelligence staff who passed by looked at her curiously. When they found out that the other party was the new deputy minister, they immediately put on a smiling face and called out: "Ms. Kate, good morning."

Kate didn't look sideways, as if she regarded the people around her as air, and didn't pay attention at all.

Soon.

When Kate walked to the office area of ​​the Counterintelligence Department, she immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Many staff who were working all looked up at Kate, sizing up the new deputy minister.

It was also the first time for David to meet the new deputy minister. He only felt that the other party walked slowly and had a strong aura.

Kate coldly glanced around the office area, staring at everyone for a while without saying a word.

The hearts of everyone present couldn't help but feel a bit of chill. This posture and attitude are obviously not easy to serve.

The workers quickly bowed their heads and started working, pretending that nothing happened.

David also lowered his head cleverly, so as not to look into Kate's eyes and cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

When he saw the new deputy minister, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"I didn't expect that the R&D department came here by air. The relationship between Mr. Tang and Tanaka seems to be not very harmonious. Could it be related to Katsuo Tanaka again?"

"And I think she's scary, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along with."

"Mr. Tang didn't come to work today, did he deliberately let her go?"

"Probably not. Mr. Tang is not even afraid of the director. How could he be afraid of a new deputy director? Nine out of ten he is out on the job. After all, he is the deputy director of two departments, so it is normal to be busy."

David wondered carefully in his heart what kind of impact the new deputy minister would have, and what Tang Yu planned.

"Well, the technique is good and has improved."

The morning sun, just through the thin mist.

Tang Yu was sitting on the balcony, basking in the sun leisurely, and it was another day without going to work.

The only difference is that there is an extra catwoman in the house.

Sasha stood obediently behind Tang Yu, put his slender fingertips on his temples, and gently pressed and circled.

She is a little strange, as a special assistant, assisting Tang Yu's work is the main job.

But Tang Yu told her today that she doesn't have to go to work, but just go out to work at home.

Sasha didn't quite understand why he was at home when he was out on the job. Shouldn't it be a mission?
Although he didn't quite understand it, he followed Tang Yu's will and stayed at home to continue maid service.

Tang Yu knows that Sasha is still in the learning stage, and she can't let her guess everything by herself. I'm afraid her mind will only get more and more crooked.

"If you have any questions, just ask directly, and you will go wrong if you try to figure it out in your head."

When Sasha heard Tang Yu speak, his eyes immediately flashed a gleam, and then asked.

"Mr. Tang, Sasha would like to know, why did he stay at home when he was out on the job? Isn't this a holiday?"

Tang Yu was quite helpless. While closing his eyes and resting his mind, he explained casually: "How can you call a vacation when you go out to work? At most, it can only be regarded as fishing. Let me ask you, what is my status now."

Sasha replied very simply: "Counterintelligence Department, Special Operations Department, the deputy ministers of the two departments!"

Tang Yu went on to ask: "Then which department do you think I should go to work in, the counterintelligence department or the special operations department?"

Sasha thought for a while, and said decisively: "Go both!"

Tang Yu: "."

He had to go around and ask again: "Then how much salary and performance do I receive? Who pays the task bonus?"

Sasha had a clear understanding of his job-related information, and replied again: "Receive a salary, which will be paid by the finance department of the Special Operations Department, and the mission bonus will be paid according to the actual situation!"

Tang Yu said as it should be: "That's right, I receive a salary, but I have to go to work in two departments, it will only be cut in half."

Sasha hurriedly shook his head and denied: "It can't be cut in half! It can't be cut in half!"

Tang Yu pretended to be tired, and explained helplessly: "So you understand, when I go to work in the counterintelligence department, the special operations department is unhappy, and when I go to work in the special operations department, the counterintelligence department is unhappy, so I'll just go out to work, so I don't have to worry about it."

He sighed again: "Besides, going out to work is very hard, do you think I am easy? I am waiting for an opportunity to recharge my batteries."

"When the big task comes, I will naturally contribute. If I don't rest now, where will I get the strength to work?"

Sasha felt quite reasonable after listening to it, and then nodded in agreement: "Then Sasha will work hard, try to let Mr. Tang rest and relax, do you need Sasha to change the mode, I recommend you to change the intimate mode, set it to 70% , Sasha can help you press more places!"

Tang Yu: "."

Sasha saw that Tang Yu didn't agree, so he didn't continue to sell, but reminded: "Mr. Tang, Sasha just noticed that the high-level position of the counterintelligence department has been updated, and Kate is the new deputy minister."

Tang Yu naturally knew about this, and Arthur Jenkins sent him a message late at night, saying that a new deputy director had been transferred from the R&D department.

Arthur Jenkins was very annoyed by this matter. He didn't even communicate with him, and then parachuted the deputy minister from the external department. It was obviously too disrespectful.

While he was away on a business trip, he couldn't make up the situation in time, and was raided on his lair, which was really unbearable.

So Tang Yu and his old boss Jenkins simply did not do anything, and did not go to receive Kate today, and let her play in the department by herself.

When the game was full of turmoil and anger, Jenkins went back to finish and put a good pressure on Kate.

The new deputy minister took office, and for Tang Yu, this was exactly what he wanted.

He wished he didn't even sit in the counterintelligence department's class. If it wasn't for the sake of his old boss Jenkins, and the department really couldn't be empty, he would have gone to private work a long time ago.

This is a good time, a new deputy minister has come, let her go to trouble, just pretend not to know anything, wait for Jenkins to come back and take care of her.

Tang Yu knew that Kate was from the R&D department, and he brought a follower, Douglas, from the Special Operations Department.

No matter how he looks at it, there is a taste of conspiracy, and it is still aimed at Tang Yu.

A gentleman must know how to avoid his sharp edge, it is better to be less in this class!

Tang Yu opened his eyes and looked at Sasha, and said helplessly: "You should take care of yourself first, go back and buy two clothes, don't wear mine every day."

"Sasha thinks it fits well, so I don't need to buy a new one!"

Tang Yu: "This is an order!"

Sasha felt aggrieved.

　Instant Noodles: "Thanks to 'Little Ah Wen', the big boss and the rudder master, for rewarding the work. Instant Noodles will be closed in the small black room, and I will write and write quickly!"

　　Johnny: "V, I'm tired, let's destroy it, put this under the window of the small black room, turn the volume up to the maximum, shake all the glass, and wait for a good show!"

　　Son V: "Go *yourself, Johnny!"

　　Instant noodles: "???"

　　----

　　PS: No more tonight. I will be recommended by the editor-in-chief on the 25th, so I have to save some manuscripts, and strive for 25 more on the [-]th. The daily code limit is [-]. Instant noodles are really tiring.

　　Special thanks to the big guy for the reward.
