Cyberpunk: 2075

Tanaka Katsuo was not in a good mood today.

He couldn't tell exactly why. Maybe it was because the atmosphere of rejecting David in the class suddenly changed. Some people were talking and laughing with David. Maybe his two followers were secretly carrying something. , he immediately hid it when he looked at it. Anyway, Yu Zhongshengnan was in a bad mood today.

I always feel like everyone is hiding something from me, even my two followers.

With this somewhat unhappy mood, Tanaka Katsuo spent a day studying, and then got into a Villefort Alvarado’.

This is his father's car. Every day when he goes to and from school, a man named Maxim, who is his father's bodyguard and driver in Arasaka Company, drives his father's car to pick him up.

In the Arasaka Company, this does not count as a use of public resources, because Maxim is the bodyguard and driver responsible for his father. As long as he reaches a certain status in the Arasaka Company, he can enjoy such treatment. Zhong is obviously a person with such treatment.

Tanaka Katsuo got into the car and had no idea of ​​chatting with Maxim. For him, such bodyguards and drivers had changed too many positions when he grew up. He didn't know how many there were. In order to protect his father, many bodyguards and drivers died in company affairs. Guys like this who are destined not to know each other for a long time, there is no need to know them.

Those who are truly capable of protecting his father would have already climbed higher to become bodyguards and drivers for higher-ups. Why should he become a subordinate of his father, who can only be regarded as a middle-level manager in Arasaka, even as a bodyguard and driver? , those who are capable can still climb up.

In Arasaka's system, there are two types of people who can continuously climb up, one is capable and the other is senior. Compared with the latter, it is obvious that the former climbs up much faster. Maxim San As a teenager, his qualifications are definitely not considered, and he has no ability, so he can only die at this level.

For this kind of person who will be left behind sooner or later as the company's affairs or his father's position rises, Tanaka Katsuo will not pay much attention at all. What he focuses on is the higher place his father expects him to reach.

Tanaka Katsuo's father's position in the Arasaka Company is the executive director of the Arasaka Academy Board of Directors and the section chief of the Arasaka Experimental Department in Night City. This is actually a rather embarrassing and unqualified position, because within Night City , Tanaka Katsuo's father's main identity is his position at Arasaka Academy, not the experimental department position that he longs for and hopes to go further.

The School of Management, this might have been a pretty good position in the past, because the students it trained were born with a part of the individualism of managers, but in 2075, at Arasaka Academy in Night City, this But it’s definitely not a good position;

In the management model carried out at Arasaka Academy, the executive director can only intervene in a very small number of things. He cannot even have the slightest opinion on the education model of students. He can only follow the instructions of the higher-ups and make superficial votes. Basically, This is a superficial position, and its function is to take the blame if something goes wrong with student education at a critical moment. The main position held by Tanaka Katsuo's father is this, which clearly reflects his role in Arasaka. situation.

Tanaka Katsuo's father, the position he can really speak for is the position he holds concurrently, the section chief of the Arasaka Experimental Department in Night City. This is the position where he has real power and can climb up.

In Arasaka Company, under the director who has real power, the positions in the branch can be roughly divided into the following types.

Minister: A senior management position next to the board of directors, managing a department with several section chiefs under him.

Section Chief: A middle-level management position, which can also be regarded as a high-level position in a branch. He is responsible for supervising and managing the work of ordinary employees and is the upper-level leader of ordinary employees.

Department Head: A real middle-level manager who manages general staff.

Director: Different from the upper-level authority of other companies called directors, the director of Arasaka Company is only a position that ordinary members can rise to after they have sufficient qualifications. The status is only slightly higher than that of ordinary members.

General members: lower-level employees.

If Tanaka Katsuo graduates from Arasaka College, then according to his father's relationship, he will be promoted from an ordinary member to director very quickly. However, his father's expectation for him is that he will work hard for a few years after graduation and become the department head.

If possible, it would be best to take a step closer to his father in the next ten years or so, crossing the threshold of section chief and reaching the minister. At that level, they can be regarded as successors from the middle family.

Sitting in the car, Tanaka Katsuo looked at the private tutoring course that was to be held next on the prosthetic eye.

He was thinking about the future, but what he didn't know was that not long after he got into the "Villefort Alvarado" after class, a Quartz EC followed behind the car he was riding in.

Squeezed into this quartz EC were Carl, Jack, and Oliver who had recovered their appearance.

"Are you keeping an eye on it?"

Jack looked at Villefort walking through the traffic in the city center without blinking.

"Don't worry, keep an eye on me. Although there are bodyguards there, I can't attach the tracker, but when it comes to following people while driving, don't worry, Jack."

Oliver was driving the Quartz EC, which he hadn't driven for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the Sky Hera was still under repair, he wouldn't have thought of driving it. He said confidently:

"Since I got this birthday gift from my sister when I was 20 years old, I have been driving this car in Santo Domingo and the Badlands for four years. Compared to the environment of Santo Domingo and the Badlands, it is much easier to follow cars in the city center where the traffic rules are at least followed. What's more... "

Oliver said again: "Compared to the Sky Hera, this Sky Quartz EC is a sports car manufactured later.

In Don't worry about the speed, I believe the Sky series is right. "

Carl, who was squeezed in the middle, tried to maintain his body shape with his hands, and commented on Oliver's boasting: "It has enough horsepower, is cheap and durable, and it can be regarded as the standard of the Sky series. It makes me feel strange to hear you say this. After all, Sky's car is a domestic car in a sense to me."

"If it is easy to use, I have to drive it. No matter which country it is from, as long as it is of good quality, cheap and durable, I like it."

"That's right."

When Carl said this, his eyes noticed Villefort in front of him and started to turn.

That direction is...:

"Japan Street?"
