Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 85 Situation

The next day.

Westbrook, North Oaks.

The morning light shimmered, illuminating the entire Stone Mountain residential area.

Luxurious and spacious villas are hidden among the faint flowers and trees.

Mountainside.

A modern European-style villa enjoys luxury, with a built-in rockery stone courtyard, supporting apron, private garage, swimming pool, etc., everything is available.

The glass door of the three-story single-family villa opened automatically, and Susan Abernathy walked out slowly, stepping barefoot on the soft lawn, wearing a high-cut swimsuit with a leaky waist, and a long blanket and towel on her shoulders, and came to the swimming pool.

Although she is over 20 years old, she maintains a [-]-year-old figure thanks to good maintenance and implant modification.

I recently suspended my job and stayed at home, so I have more free time to relax, swim and exercise to enjoy my personal time.

Her husband, Rafael, works in Zeta Technology Company and is also a high-level executive of the company, and basically travels outside the office all the year round.

There are very few opportunities for the couple to meet, and as the relationship is weak, Susan Abernathy has also seen a lot.

The essence of this marriage is the supremacy of interests.

Now that Arasaka is the director of the company, she no longer has the mentality of a little girl, and she will naively yearn for so-called feelings.

For her, feelings are the most unreliable thing.

People around her fear her, fear her, and flatter her, all because she is Arasaka's high-level executives who wield the power of life and death.

If you have the ultimate power, you should use it to enjoy the ultimate.

So she bought a large single-family villa in Stone Mountain, and piled up high-end floating cars and luxury sports cars in the garage to eat ashes.

By the way, he also found a young lover, who is 24 years old, masculine and mighty, and is an executive of the external relations department of Kangtao Company.

Both energy and status can match her needs.

Susan Abernathy stood on the edge of the swimming pool, threw off the blanket on her shoulders, and plunged into the eight-track swimming pool.

Strive to swim butterfly, splashing layers of water.

Susan Abernathy enjoys swimming, which is her way of unwinding and relieving depression.

Strange to say.

She hated Arthur Jenkins and Tang Yu very much at the time, and thought it would be more uncomfortable after the suspension.

Unexpectedly, during this time of free time at home, my mind became more and more calm.

With regard to the development situation of Arasaka Company, I have more new understanding and judgment, and understand that blindly forcing an attack is often counterproductive.

Although she is not in the company, she still keeps an eye on the company's trends.

Surprised to find out.

Her reputation in the company turned worse.

Many department staff gossiped and compared her to a dragon.

When Susan Abernathy first learned about this, she was really annoyed.

Obviously, she was the most severely punished, and the counterintelligence department got all the benefits. She was scolded by her superiors, and she was also scolded by the company for gossip.

She really couldn't imagine that in a company where everyone looked up, how could anyone agree with the weak counterintelligence department.

Later, she figured it out, it was because she forced her too fast and too hard, and people caught her and made excuses.

As the director of special operations, targeting a deputy head of the counterintelligence department has already lost his worth.

What's more, there was nothing he could do about it, and he was defeated on the board of directors, which made people laugh.

Susan Abernathy, who calmed down, seemed to see more things clearly.

Two dogs fight, play off.

Some people are taking advantage of the contradiction between the two departments, taking the opportunity to win over and strengthen their forces.

Susan Abernathy didn't want to be a snipe or a clam, she wanted to be a fisherman.

"Better let Arthur Jenkins fight the others."

After she swam in the water for a while, a blond man was already waiting by the pool, holding two glasses of fine wine.

Susan Abernathy swam directly over, then raised her head from the water surface, making a water lotus shape, shaking her long hair and figure.

The two met and smiled.

Then they gnawed each other, and the red wine and cup in their hands all spilled into the swimming pool, turning red.

Sudden.

Susan Abernathy receives a Secretary Communication Request.

Her face was unhappy. When she was on vacation, the secretary would not call her for no reason.

Susan Abernathy pushed away the man in front of her, and the aperture of her prosthetic eye turned to connect to the phone.

"what's up?"

Secretary: "Sorry, Director, to bother you at this time, I have two important pieces of information to report to you, about Tang Yu and Tanaka from the R&D department."

Tang Yu?

Tanaka?

Susan Abernathy's face turned cold for an instant, then she looked at the blond man and waved her hand, signaling him to leave.

The blond lover raised his eyebrows boredly, so Zhiqu got up and walked away, not daring to disturb her conversation.

After there was no one around, Susan Abernathy said.

"Let's talk about Tang Yu first."

Secretary: "Director, it's like this. We arranged for an informant in the scavenger to get an important piece of information and found that Tang Yu has a habit of running at night."

night run?

Susan Abernathy felt that this was not information at all. Many senior executives in the company had the habit of exercising, including her who often swam and ran, but she continued to listen patiently.

Secretary: "Tang Yu met a scavenger when he ran at night. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides. The scavenger and his car were all killed, using a Kenshin pistol."

Susan Abernathy: "To get to the point, a few little bastards just want to solve the high-level management of Arasaka Company. How is this possible?"

Secretary: "So, after these days of planning, the scavenger decided to ambush Tang Yu for revenge."

"And Tang Yu hasn't reported to the Special Operations Department yet, so he can borrow the hand of the scavenger before he comes in"

When the secretary reported, his tone became faintly agitated. After all, Tang Yu was the boss's number one thorn in the side.

It's hard to catch such an opportunity, and if it succeeds, it will be done once and for all.

The key is that you don't have to do it yourself, just pour a little oil on the fire, and you can burn the opponent to death.

What waves can an ordinary person make?

But the scene imagined by the secretary, and the boss happily praised him for his effective work, did not happen.

Instead, he was scolded by his boss, Susan Abernathy.

"idiot!"

"Who told you to meddle in this matter on your own initiative?"

"No one in the whole company knows now, and he won't deal with me."

"Everyone in the Arasaka Tower is spreading the word. He is afraid that I will do something wrong so he doesn't report to the Special Operations Department."

"Arranging someone to get him at this juncture, if something goes wrong, do you think you can clear up all the suspicions?"

"Today, he is different from when he just came back. The vice minister of the two departments was even interviewed by Michiko Arasaka in private."

"Everyone is watching. If something happens to him and has something to do with us, it will be a big problem."

Hearing the boss's scolding, the secretary recovered from the ecstasy, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Fortunately, he reported the matter in advance and did not privately arrange to get rid of Tang Yu.

According to Susan Abernathy, once something happened to Tang Yu and Arasaka's high-level officials pursued it, she would most likely become an abandoned child like Caitlin.

The secretary hesitated and replied: "I, I see, director, I will inform the informant not to interfere with this matter."

Susan Abernathy said to stop: "You don't care about the scavengers wanting to get revenge on Tang Yu, let them do whatever they want, success or failure has nothing to do with us."

"Remember to clean up the informant, it is no longer usable."

"do you understand?"

The secretary repeatedly said: "I understand, director, let's go down and deal with it."

Susan Abernathy reminded again: "He has now entered the high-level vision of the Arasaka company. Gayi cannot use this method easily. Once leaked, he will only set himself on fire."

"I already have a way to deal with him here, and I will talk about it after I resume my job."

"Remember, all actions and intelligence about Tang Yu must be reported to me in advance."

Secretary: "Director, understand!"

Susan Abernathy: "What about the other thing?"

Secretary: "Director Tanaka of the R&D Department, his exclusive high-end company car was stolen. According to reliable information, military technology is behind it."

Susan Abernathy was silent, trying to figure out the relationship.

"It seems that military technology is not going to stop yet. They should have heard from the board of directors last time that the military-grade Sianweistan human body operation data is going to be taken by the Arasaka R&D Department. They want to find out the purpose of Tanaka's research."

"In this way, you take this matter and let the Special Operations Department deal with it next."

"Let the new deputy director of the Special Operations Department think of a solution and let him wrestle with military technology."

Tang Yu sat on his balcony, holding a guitar, trying to hum a familiar tune.

"Wandering, on the road" (Note 1)

"Are you going, via, via"

I remember that Johnny always liked to complain about his music taste in the past. He only played some folk tunes, which had nothing to do with rock and roll.

Not hot or punk enough to make Johnny sleepy.

On the contrary, the hot-tempered V can always calm down at such times, sitting quietly beside her, enjoying folk songs and bonfires.

Later, they went to Clio Rodion for a samurai band concert, and the crowd had a lot of fun.

At that time, Clio Rodion was already a well-known rock star in Night City, and he was no longer the little brother who followed Johnny and cried.

But when they played Samurai Band's "Chippin' In," it all came back.

Tang Yu remembered that he had promised to give Clio Rodion a song, but everything came too suddenly, and it was over before it could be completed.

He just plucked the strings casually and hummed a familiar tune.

Yesterday, Mann's operation was very successful, and the military-grade Sianweistan was successfully implanted into Mann's back.

The detection of various biological signs is also very stable, and the compatibility and stability test of the prosthesis is not too problematic. Everything is not much different from Lao Wei's previous evaluation.

When Mann recovered from anesthesia, Tang Yu had already left.

Tang Yu still has running training at night, so he didn't wait too long in the clinic, just confirm the safety of the operation.

Mann paid the full cost of Lao Wei's surgery.

Lao Wei told Mann a lot of precautions, and also gave him some medicines, emphasizing that he should use Si'an Westin's ability as little as possible.

Mann obliged.

Tang Yu's opening of Mann's Sims is already the best reminder.

But when a person lives for a lifetime, the Tao comes out.

The vicissitudes of life, the wind and the rain, only reveals the true qualities of a legend.

Tang Yu was thinking about something.

Suddenly, I received a communication request from my old boss, Arthur Jenkins.

What are you calling at this hour?
Tang Yu answered the phone.

Arthur Jenkins: "Don, are you on the field?"

Tang Yu didn't change his face, and returned calmly: "Yes, there are some things at hand that need to be resolved."

Arthur Jenkins: "Tomorrow, I will take time to come to the company. The Arasaka Academy sent an invitation letter to the Ministry. I would like to invite you to attend the tomorrow's academy meeting and serve as the mentor of the practical judges for this year's lifelong practice."

Practice judges mentor?

This invitation to Tang Yu was quite unexpected.

Every year, the college organizes the colleges that are about to graduate to conduct a three-month social practice.

Some can stay in Arasaka for internships, while others can only go to the society to find companies for internships, and report the results of the company's internships after three months.

The practice judges and tutors are specially responsible for evaluating the students' practical results, and scoring the pros and cons.

This score will directly affect the graduation status of the students and serve as an important basis for future competition for companies.

For the Arasaka students who are about to graduate, it is very important.

Arthur Jenkins continued to add: "I have already promised you, this matter is specially arranged for you."

"You know, the company recruits a batch of new employees who have just graduated from the academy every year."

"Now there is a shortage of people in the ministry. If you find good seedlings, you can book them in advance. The ministry really needs fresh blood."

After listening to the explanation, Tang Yu immediately understood Jenkins' intention.

The academy has some abilities that are good, and there are no faction students in Arasaka, so they are indeed suitable for use as cattle and horses.

Arasaka Academy is only a secondary institution, but due to its super high teaching quality, its education level is even comparable to some top universities.

Very few outstanding students can directly enter Arasaka Company to work after graduation.

Some will go on to college for advanced studies, such as the University of Night City.

Some of them will flow into the society and enter all walks of life.

Tang Yu replied.

"I see, I will attend the meeting on time tomorrow."

"The judges and mentors don't take up much time. As for whether we can pick a more suitable candidate, it depends on the actual situation."

Jenkins: "Even if you let it go and pick it, you will be more at ease when you start training from newcomers."

"Also, I see that you haven't reported to the Special Operations Department, so you should take the time to go. It's not good for you to be frozen like this, and someone from above will look for trouble."

Tang Yu knew that Jenkins was referring to the board members, especially those who supported the Susan Abernathy faction.

He said that he would find time to report to the Special Operations Department. After the two communicated, they hung up the phone.

in fact.

When Jenkins mentioned being a practical judge mentor, Tang Yu almost subconsciously thought of David Martinez, the boy who was bullied to lose his temper at Arasaka Academy.

If he hadn't been the judge's mentor for this session, he could have almost foreseen the ending of this kid being kicked out of Arasaka by Katsuo Tanaka.

As long as Katsuo Tanaka intends to target, none of the judges and mentors will not save face.

You don't even need to say hello. Arasaka Academy, as the teaching unit of Arasaka Company, fundamentally adheres to the rule of superiority.

Katsuo Tanaka and other high-level children of the Arasaka Company will almost 100% join the Arasaka Company.

As for David, who was born in an ordinary way, it was difficult to get into the eyes of his mentor.

To give a bad review to Katsuo Tanaka, you have to carefully weigh his father's power.

Giving a bad review to David is almost a trivial matter of crossing on the electronic screen.

In the future, David would like to join other companies, not to mention entering Arasaka, which is probably impossible.

Now that Tang Yu serves as a practical judge mentor, David at least has a fair chance.

Tang Yu has no responsibility to take extra care of David.

In his opinion, a man's way should be blazed by himself.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, they always rely on external forces and fail to hone their true skills. Even if they get into the company, they can only be played to death.

A legend has to look like a legend.

If you want sunshine and rain, you have to fight for it yourself.

Tang Yu didn't take those little things at Arasaka Academy to heart.

He cleared up his mood, picked up the guitar again and began to play and sing quietly.

"Time is like smoke, so and so"

"Tomorrow is here"

"Where the wind blows, the road is still far away"

"Where did your story end?"

It was dark, the clouds cleared, the wind stopped, and only the guitar was still playing.
