Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

David sat under the audience, staring blankly at Tang Yu who was sitting high on the main stage, and heard the introduction from the principal of Arasaka College with his own ears.

Dual department deputy minister?

Practical review mentor?

He was confused.

I clearly remember that some time ago, my savior, Mr. Tang, was just the Deputy Minister of Counterintelligence.

It was completely unexpected that he would concurrently serve as the deputy director of the Special Operations Department of Arasaka Company so soon.

One person has two jobs.

David Martinez, who has been exposed to it at Arasaka Academy, can naturally appreciate the weight of it.

David just looked straight at it, his eyes full of disbelief, and he clapped mechanically along with his classmates.

After the thunderous applause, I heard the students talking quietly.

"Double deputy ministers, how come you haven't heard of it before? Why did you slap Tanaka Katsuo angrily just now? This must be too fierce. His father is a senior executive of Arasaka Company!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, you know too little about high-level insider information. My dad even discussed Tang Yu at Ye's company."

"What?! Tell me carefully."

David pretended not to be careless, pricked up his ears and leaned aside, trying to hear their discussion clearly. These secrets were difficult for David to grasp and know.

Even though he maintained a certain degree of contact with some classmates by selling various game chips and Mewtwo chips, he was still not qualified to truly integrate into their circle.

Especially when the classmates formed their own circles to discuss high-level secrets, David could only pretend to be uninterested and leave, so as not to bring trouble and make others dislike him.

What determines the circle is never the identity of the student, but the position and status of the fathers.

Students often bring scraps of information they know to the college to exchange with each other, creating a sense of superiority that they have reached the top of the company.

The quality of the circle depends entirely on the level that the parents have access to.

As the direct descendant of a senior executive of Arasaka Company, Tanaka Katsuo is naturally a leader in various circles.

It is an obvious rule that the students cling to Tanaka Katsuo.

David concentrated his ears and listened carefully to the classmate who was a senior executive of Ye's company.

"Mr. Tang is now the most prosperous employee of Arasaka Company. He just came back from the border some time ago."

"My dad said that the expensive sports car Renfield, the CEO of Ye's Company, was given to the senior leaders of the Counterintelligence Department. I guess it was most likely given to Mr. Tang."

"It is said that Mr. Tang is not only the double deputy minister, but also favored by the directors of the Arasaka family. He even gossips"

"I can't talk about this anymore. I also heard a little bit from Tanaka Katsuo the other day."

After listening to it, the other students suddenly understood and felt quite happy that they had mastered a lot of inside information.

"You said Tanaka Katsuo was slapped today because of his nonsense. He can swallow this breath."

"I'm sure I can't swallow it. Who in our college doesn't know how powerful Tanaka Katsuo's father is. He keeps talking about 'father' every day. I almost vomited when I stepped on the horse."

"You have to swallow it if you can't. I saw it with my own eyes in the lobby that time. Minister Tang and the director were at odds with each other. They are also senior Arasaka, but his father is still worse than the director."

"Tanaka Katsuo said bad things about people behind their backs, and they might have found out. And because of what happened last time, David Martinez was beaten up."

"Yes, before the meeting, David and Tanaka Katsuo were arguing just now."

Several people were discussing, and their eyes suddenly turned to David not far away.

The sudden gaze caught David off guard, and he quickly sat up straight, pretending not to hear anything, showing a somewhat embarrassed look.

Several classmates did not shy away from him. Some even quietly came up to him, poked David, and asked curiously.

"David, tell us, do you know Minister Tang? Otherwise, why did you have a conflict with Tanaka Katsuo because of this last time?"

David's face turned red and he quickly denied it, his tone stammering.

"What, what's the matter!"

"How could I possibly know the minister?"

"I can't stand Tanaka Katsuo speaking ill of others behind their backs."

Several classmates looked at David with amusement, as if they knew he was not telling the truth.

David kept silent and listened intently to the principal's speech introducing the three-month practice requirements.

The practical requirements this time are similar to those in previous years, except that the practical evaluation instructor was replaced by Tang Yu.

Although he is said to be a judge instructor, he does not care about the students' specific time status at all, and is only responsible for the final assessment and scoring.

David stared at Tang Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, and fell into deep thought.

In the eyes of others, Tang Yu at this time looked like a synonym for authority, severity, and coldness.

In full view of everyone, he slapped Tanaka Katsuo angrily. Although he was hitting his son, it was my father who was embarrassed.

However, he was present when he slapped Tanaka Katsuo twice.

Is Mr. Tang really helping himself?

From the car accident to teaching Tanaka Katsuo a lesson, more than once or twice?

Maybe I really should thank Mr. Tang in person.

Even though Gloria had taken him to Ember for a treat before to say thank you, she never took the initiative to express her sincerity.

But when David thought of Tang Yu's status and power, he became entangled again.

Does the other party appreciate your thanks? Or maybe it’s not necessary at all, or maybe I’m overthinking it.

For some reason, David felt inexplicably guilty and worried, and even the palms of his hands were covered with sweat.

"Damn, what are you so nervous about?"

His right foot began to shake uncontrollably, as if he was making a very difficult decision.

As the principal announced the adjournment of the meeting, David spent the entire meeting in agony.

He came back to his senses and quickly stood up and looked at Tang Yu's figure, looking for a chance to meet alone.

But after the meeting, Tang Yu, surrounded by the principal of Arasaka College and other leaders, walked out of the auditorium without giving him a chance to speak.

David looked at the disappearing figure and sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I really don't have a chance."

"Forget it, your search will definitely be in vain."

As a senior executive of Arasaka Company, Tang Yu is a rising star in the workplace, and there are many people who want to follow him.

David felt that no matter his identity or status, he would definitely not be able to catch Tang Yu's eyes.

In fact, Tang Yu's contact information has already been saved in his address book list.

Gloria told him this when he went to Ember for dinner last time, and gave him serious instructions.

"If you really encounter an extreme crisis in the college and have to ask for help, you can try calling this number."

David just nodded and saved his contact information. He didn't dare to try to get involved with others.

But when he left the public transportation station that day, Tang Yu personally greeted him first and said so many words.

David shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his head.

He originally wanted to hold back his temper and try to ask Tanaka Katsuo, but now that something like this happened, it was impossible to go to him again. It was nothing but self-humiliation.

"How should I explain this to my mother?"

David frowned. It was already meal time, but he had no appetite at all. He walked out of the auditorium and walked towards the college cafeteria.

Just as he was standing at the door of the cafeteria, preparing to scan and authenticate his identity information, he suddenly received a message.

"Meet at restaurants and cafes in the Haywood Valley area."

The specific address was attached at the end of the message.

Tang Yu?

Mr. Tang actually took the initiative to contact me?

David felt panicked and hurriedly exited the college cafeteria and found a deserted corner to confirm the news again.

You must have read that right. The message was sent just three minutes ago. Mr. Tang invited himself to meet at a restaurant in the Haywood Valley area.

David was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had to reply to the message first, otherwise he would be too rude.

"Mr. Tang, received! I'll rush over immediately."

After replying the message, David hurriedly ran to the public elevator, pressed the ride button, arrived at the Arasaka Tower lobby as quickly as possible, and rushed towards his destination.

The valley area is very close to the company square, so David chose to run there, as it was much faster to cross the sidewalk.

David ran all the way, passing by holographic projection goldfish, passing through busy company crowds, passing by Zen monks meditating next to the park, and passing by couples holding hands while shopping.

Panting, he ran to his destination, took a few deep breaths at the door of the tea restaurant, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

David couldn't care about his image and was worried about keeping the other party waiting, so he hurriedly walked through the automatic glass door and walked into the tea restaurant.

When he saw David in a suit and tie, a waiter immediately came up to him and asked if he had a reservation.

David tentatively reported Tang Yu's name, and the waiter immediately led him to the inner court with a smile.

Passing through the public booth area, you finally arrive at the open-air inner courtyard area of ​​the tea restaurant, which has an elegant environment and is full of green plants.

Tang Yu was sitting in a quiet place with a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks on the table, seemingly taking a nap.

David knew that the other party was waiting for him, so he quickly thanked the waiter, coughed twice, and walked toward the booth where Tang Yu was sitting alone.

The closer David got, the more nervous he became. It was like a student encountering his class teacher in an alley and having nowhere to hide, so he had to bite the bullet and step forward to say hello.

He walked up to Tang Yu and said very cautiously: "Mr. Tang, good afternoon."

Tang Yu glanced sideways at David, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to take a seat first.

After David sat down opposite, Tang Yu smoothly pushed the electronic menu on the table in front of him.

"Whatever you want to eat, order it yourself."

David hesitated and hummed, lowered his head and looked at the electronic menu. He could only execute Tang Yu's words mechanically, his mind was in a mess.

Looking at the menu, every dish was extremely expensive and not something he dared to order casually, so David said with some guilt.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, I'm not hungry."

David put the menu back in its place, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at Tang Yu opposite him.

Tang Yu smiled helplessly. David, this kid, always looked coy and didn't know what was going on in his mind.

He knew that David was someone who couldn't bear to lose face, so he waved the waiter over and ordered a few more authentic meals.

After ordering, Tang Yu looked at David who said nothing and asked calmly.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

David looked embarrassed and quickly raised his head to explain.

"No, no, Mr. Tang, I"

He sighed helplessly.

"Oh, actually, I was planning to find Mr. Tang, but..."

David hesitated to speak, as if making a request was extremely difficult, so he could only sigh silently in his heart.

"Mr. Tang has helped me so much, so I can't continue to ask him for help shamelessly."

When Tang Yu saw David's embarrassed look, he had already guessed the little ninety-nine in him.

She was just worrying about her internship at the company for the next three months. If she couldn't get into Arasaka Company, Gloria would definitely be disappointed and sad.

That's why before the conference started, David endured Tanaka Katsuki's provocation and tried to swallow his anger in exchange for the possibility of staying at Arasaka Company.

It's just that Tanaka Katsuo couldn't keep his mouth shut and was caught in the act, even if he was slapped, he couldn't find any reason to deal with it.

Tang Yu naturally noticed David at the conference, staring at him with bright eyes.

He guessed David's little thoughts, and he must have wanted to ask for help from him, but he was unable to speak because he had received too many favors.

In fact, when David entered the Arasaka Company as an intern, he just nodded. It was really not a big deal, but for David it was as difficult as going to heaven.

The huge chasm brought by the company's senior status is completely insurmountable by David's own ability.

Tang Yu feels that having too little face is both a bad thing and a good thing.

At least it shows that David, a child, is still very kind and soft at heart. He knows how to take into account the feelings of others, and often would rather embarrass himself.

Mainly because late last night, Gloria called specifically to make a request. She didn't want to embarrass David, saying that as long as Tang Yu could solve David's internship problem, she was willing to do anything in return.

Having said that, Tang Yu decided to invite David to have a meal to see what he really thought.

In fact, no matter what David thinks, Tang Yu will definitely let him stay in Arasaka Company.

Ever since he decided to train Gloria as a middleman, David was destined to be unable to escape, not to mention that he also had a life simulation option.

Compared to his mother Gloria's decisiveness, David is still much inferior.

Tang Yu knew that his ideological burden was too heavy and the poverty at the bottom forced him to live cautiously.

Looking at the faces of my classmates and teachers at Arasaka Academy, and looking at Gloria's face when I got home, I could only find some solace in Mewtwo.

David's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was going through an extremely difficult struggle. On the one hand, he was coveting the internship opportunity, and on the other hand, he was worried about owing too many favors and causing trouble to the other party.

David felt it was difficult to make a choice. He held it in until the end and exhaled heavily, then looked up at Tang Yu and said helplessly.

"Actually, I would like to ask Mr. Tang for help so that I can stay at Arasaka Company as an intern for three months."

After David finished speaking in a low voice, his expression became obviously more embarrassed and he continued to add.

"Tomorrow I will start a three-month company internship. My original intention was to find a small company, but my mother preferred that I stay in Arasaka, but staying in Arasaka for an internship is not an easy thing, so..."

Although David spoke vaguely, Tang Yu understood the meaning behind him.

David, the child, didn't want his mother to have to ask for help for his sake.

In fact, David has always known that although Gloria and Tang Yu knew each other, their friendship was obviously not good enough. Asking Tang Yu for help again and again would only make them more annoying.

Even if it was difficult for me to go to Tanaka Katsuo to plead for mercy, I didn't want my mother to be humbled.

If Tang Yu hadn't been the judge's mentor at today's college conference, David wouldn't have thought of asking Tang Yu.

Seeing that Tang Yu didn't speak, he thought he didn't express himself clearly, so he went on to explain.

"Mr. Tang, you have helped us a lot. It would be really bad if we trouble you again because of this matter."

David wanted to continue explaining, but Tang Yu interrupted him.

Tang Yu is used to taking the initiative, and for a young bird like David, he doesn't need to talk about twists and turns, and speaks directly.

"David, you have been interning at Arasaka Company for the past three months."

What? !

This invitation was like a bolt from the blue, hitting David hard in the head.

David was completely confused.

Hearing this, he immediately raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and he couldn't believe his ears.

Mr. Tang actually invited himself to intern at Arasaka Company?

David's feeling now was even more confusing than if he had guessed the Dead Man's Lotto. It was completely unbelievable. He was simply overjoyed. He was stunned for a long time and could not speak for a long time.

"This, is this really good?"

David looked at Tang Yu, his eyes straight, and found that Tang Yu looked calm and had no intention of joking at all.

Damn it? !

This is true!

Mr. Tang really invited himself to stay at Arasaka Company as an intern!

David hasn't reacted yet. In his opinion, staying in Arasaka Company is even more difficult than reaching the sky.

But with just one word, Tang Yu handed the ladder to him easily. This was something he never dreamed of doing.

You must know that being able to stay as an intern at Arasaka Company is something that countless wealthy and powerful children strive for.

If you can get a good evaluation as an intern at Arasaka Company, it is equivalent to getting a stepping stone and half-stepping into Arasaka Company.

In the past, even now, it was something that David could not even imagine.

But at this moment, it's really happening right in front of you.

David felt so many things in his heart that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

There was no humiliation, no humiliation, and no threats of profit. David, who had had enough of this, felt for the first time the feeling of being taken care of.

Although I felt extremely guilty in my heart, I couldn't figure out why I felt so happy about cheating.

Is it the smell of someone covering you? Does it smell like a patron?

unconsciously.

David's astonished expression gradually faded away, and turned to be so excited that his eyes almost turned red, and he almost couldn't hold back tears.

He tried hard to calm down his excitement, his eyes were filled with surprise, surprise, and gratitude. He stood up straight and spoke solemnly.

"Mr. Tang, thank you very much. I want to stay at Arasaka Company as an intern. I will work hard and live up to your expectations."

Seeing the serious look of this boy, Tang Yu thought he was a bit cute, waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Stop being so polite. If you really want to say thank you, try to take some practical actions. Internship at Arasaka Company is not easy."

David nodded fiercely, then sat down, gradually recovering from his excitement.

Although David was wearing a mature suit, his face still looked young.

Tang Yu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then said: "Tomorrow, I will report to the front desk of the Counterintelligence Department on the 33rd floor of Arasaka Tower."

David sat up straight: "Copy that! Mr. Tang, I will report to the front desk on time tomorrow."

But not long after David was happy, his excited expression slowly turned sad.

When he thought of entering the Arasaka Company's counter-intelligence department as an intern, he was completely unsure, and he was worried that if things were not handled well, it would affect Tang Yu.

Tang Yu saw his little thoughts and casually said: "Don't be too nervous. Someone will be responsible for taking you after the report."

The topic changed and he asked next.

"The wound on your forehead was caused by Tanaka Katsuo."

David nodded in acquiescence, seemed to have thought of something, and asked softly.

"Mr. Tang, you taught Tanaka Katsuo a lesson in the auditorium today. Aren't you worried that his father will come to you?"

While talking, the waiter had already brought the dishes.

Tang Yu picked up the chopsticks and motioned to David to chat while eating.

"This is not a big deal. You should be taught a lesson if you are young."

David couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and his opinion of Tang Yu was a little higher. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that scared him.

Even if he thought about it, he couldn't understand why Tang Yu behaved so calmly even though he was not much older than him.

David was really curious about Tang Yu's origins, but he was inconvenient and did not dare to ask casually.

I could only eat in silence, occasionally glancing at Tang Yu sitting opposite, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

If everyone has a lucky day, today must be his.
