Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 176 The Conscience of the Company

With the melodious sound of the piano gradually sounding, the party kicked off.

The distinguished guests outside the lawn gradually left, turned and walked away in pairs, and gathered towards the magnificent reception room of Wood Manor.

The concierge waiters in work uniforms, one person at five steps and one post at ten steps, politely greeted the distinguished guests to enter the venue.

After standardized and unified training, the welcome actions of the waiters are as uniform as if they were copied from each other.

Even the smile on his face was kept at the right angle to show his eight teeth.

The male VIPs each brought their exquisitely dressed and beautiful female companions, and slowly stepped into the classical hall full of flowers and brocades.

Seeing that it was time to enter the party, Tang Yu got up from the lawn and patted the dust on his trouser legs.

Then he squatted next to V, ready to lift her slender bare feet and put on her high heels again, those unruly black crystals.

Tang Yu's fingertips just touched V's calf, and the other party immediately retracted his leg like an electric shock.

V tightly covered the hem of the skirt, circled his knees, and stared at Tang Yu vigilantly: "What are you doing?"

The two of them got away from the noisy crowd earlier, and found a secluded corner where no one was sitting on the ground, chatting with each other.

Since V couldn't tame the pair of high heels, fortunately he took off his shoes and stepped on the grass with bare feet.

She thinks that there is no need to put on airs in front of Tang Yu, after all, the other party already knows who she is.

Even if she changed into a black dress and stepped into a high-end manor, it still couldn't change the essence of her being born on the streets and mixing in the streets.

V is used to being free and easy. If it weren't for Tang Yu's debts and high debts, it would be impossible to accompany him to this kind of place.

to be frank.

She really remembered Tang Yu's kindness in her heart, so although she was reluctant to Tang Yu's excessive demands, she finally agreed without exception.

V can accompany Tang Yu on the battlefield of the dance party, but this does not mean that she agrees to enter the next battlefield.

The act of touching her ankle just now took away the relaxation she felt while chatting.

After all, mixing with flower oil intestines like Jenkins, it is inevitable that you will not get bad thoughts.

Tang Yu looked at V, who was full of vigilance, and said a little funny: "The dance has begun, are you going to enter the venue barefoot?"

The party is about to start, and he reckons V will not only not be able to step on these shoes well, but it may even be difficult to put them on.

The biggest feature of this pair of black crystal high heels is the pair of lace ribbons, which need to be knotted in a special way, otherwise the look and features will be greatly reduced.

V must not remember such a complicated process of tying the belt, so Tang Yu planned to help her put on her high heels.

V ignored Tang Yu's kindness, picked up the high heels on his own, and started working hard with his back to him.

Tang Yu shook his head helplessly, and stood aside waiting for her to put on her shoes.

after awhile.

V is considered defeated.

A pair of beautiful and expensive black crystal high heels were neither elegant nor good-looking on her feet.

What's more, she, who was already unable to walk steadily, could not even stand firmly now.

Under the pressure of the situation, V asked Tang Yu for help with a bit of embarrassment, asking him to help tie the ribbon.

Tang Yu had no choice but to squat down, untie the messy knot, and tie it again for her. The delicate silk belt was worn back and forth in his hands, and soon a beautiful etiquette was tied.

It is both beautiful and beautiful, and it is firmly fixed on the heel.

V looked at Tang Yu who was leaning over to tie the ribbon for her, with a serious and calm expression, and couldn't help but feel a different feeling in his heart.

This is simply two different people from Tang Yu in her impression.

very beginning.

V has always wondered if Tang Yu is mentally ill, there is too much money and nowhere to spend it, and he wants to come out to have fun, so he deliberately punishes her.

But now she has some new ideas, and she feels that Tang Yu is not so annoying.

tonight.

In order to take care of her, Tang Yu not only declined the opportunity to chat with the high-level circle, but also was willing to accompany her to sit aimlessly on the grass and talk nonsense.

She knew the significance of the party to these high-level celebrities in Night City, and also understood the importance of Tang Yu in their eyes.

This party is very important to everyone present. Men want to use it to make connections and move towards the center of power, and women want to use it as a step to climb to a higher backer.

Whether it's a famous car or a watch, they are just decorations for those 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, not even the same kind of person.

She couldn't describe exactly what it felt like, but it happened to be Tang Yu's unique temperament and taste.

A bit bad but also kind, a bit domineering but respecting her feelings and thoughts.

V can't see the obsession and desire for power in his eyes, but only the chicness and indifference of wanton living.

Tang Yu tied his shoelaces, and when he got up, he found that V's eyes were a little dazed, staring straight at himself, so he joked.

"Why, are you a nympho?"

The thoughts in V's mind disappeared immediately, and he raised his iron fist in embarrassment and wanted to bang twice.

But then Tang Yu forcibly held the 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 sneak into the party immediately and quietly, and then sat inside and waited to go home after the show.

She quickly lifted the hem of the skirt, took small steps to speed up her pace, and ran behind Tang Yu towards the hall.

The two quickly entered the hall and immediately blended into the atmosphere of the party.

When the lights came on, the sound of violin instruments was melodious, the magnificent party hall was interlaced with light and shadow, and the holographic projection on the stage showed the sense of neon streamer technology.

Holographic phantom dance, various colorful signs, elegant singing from wooden musical instruments, and ceiling lanterns with layers of rhinestones.

The beauty of technology and classics is fully reflected in this hall.

The two chose a buffet table where there were no people, each picked some snacks, and looked at the atmosphere of the audience with great interest.

V threw a peeled fruit into his mouth, it had a strange taste, and he didn't know where it was imported from.

Fruits are rare in Night City. She is used to synthetic foods, but she is not used to the taste of native fruits.

All the VIPs in the audience drank and chatted freely, and the focus did not fall on them, so no one cared about eating and drinking.

Only occasionally a waiter came forward and politely asked if high-end drinks were needed.

V also specifically asked if there were stupid monkeys, but only got a negative answer.

The two of them were filling their stomachs when the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and the sound of the entire hall gradually died down.

The raindrop-like blue light matrix gathered from all directions, and finally fixed on the stage, a blue figure was condensed immediately, and the holographic projection host officially appeared on the stage.

Tang Yu looked at the blue figure on the high platform. From the appearance, it looked like a graceful girl with long wavy hair and a tall and plump figure.

The two eyes frequently shone like dazzling blue diamonds, weird and dazzling.

This familiar shape reminded Tang Yu of his old friend, Otto Cunningham.

However, this holographic projection has nothing to do with Ott, it is just pure artificial intelligence, specially used for office hosting.

The blue holographic host floated in mid-air, like an elf wandering in the hall, and made an opening remark enthusiastically.

It grandly introduced the theme of tonight's charity gala, and introduced to the distinguished guests present the charity plan that Ye's Company is committed to ensuring the human resources of Night City, and is working hard to implement - the bottom support network.

The charity plan is mainly aimed at the poor in Night City, and both low-income and no-income people can apply for assistance from the charity plan.

Ye's Company will provide free training to applicants and provide necessary prosthetic body modification to assist them to gain a foothold in society until they are qualified for a job to support themselves.

The benefits of this charity plan are multifaceted. It can not only greatly improve the security of Night City, reduce the risk of poverty due to illness, but also provide Night City with more available human resources. For Night City and major companies All have benefits.

The celebrities present couldn't help applauding after listening to the host's introduction, praising Ye's company's feat.

In order to prove the success of their charity plan, Ye's Company also cited many examples.

For example, many homeless people received assistance from Ye's Company, and after training and transformation, they joined the front line of the construction site and were able to operate industrial machinery for construction.

Even the waiters at this gala are all people who have received assistance from the charity plan. After receiving etiquette training, they are fully qualified to serve high-end banquets.

The content of the plan was detailed and the examples were clear. Even V who was standing beside him was stunned when he heard it. He put the fruit in his hand to his mouth and forgot to eat it for a long time.

"The company still has such a conscience?" V listened to the host's high-sounding words, and various high-end video patterns and scenes were staged in turn, depicting a beautiful and grand picture of Night City.

Tang Yu didn't even raise his eyebrows, he concentrated on choosing rare and fresh fruits, and put a cup of warm tea by his hand.

"You can believe the company's words. The real purpose behind this charity plan can be different from what you tell them."

V knows that the company has nothing good to offer, but he doesn't quite understand why such a powerful company would go to such lengths to do such thankless things.

She wondered: "If you want to recruit people to do prosthetic body experiments, you can definitely find gangs to do these dirty jobs. It is more efficient and less expensive, and you don't have to worry about reputation. It must be more cost-effective."

Tang Yu took out a piece of fruit pulp, threw it into his mouth, and said bluntly: "That means you haven't guessed their real purpose. The deeper they hide, the greater their ambition."

"Ye's Company's strength is not in the transformation of prosthetic bodies, nor is it in the engineering infrastructure that the public thinks."

Tang Yu poked V's forehead with his index finger, and said in a deep voice, "It's here."

brain?

V is a little confused.

She really doesn't know much about the activities of these big companies.

"In short, no matter how nice the company says or how beautiful things are done, never believe it." Tang Yu persuaded while chewing.

V then turned his head sideways, looked at Tang Yu quietly, and murmured.

"Then can I trust you?"

　There will be another update later!
