Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Gloria saw Sasha, who was wearing a cat mask, getting out of the car and quickly stood up to greet him.

The two greeted each other.

After living together for a period of time, they have a certain understanding of each other.

Gloria asked softly: "Is Mr. Tang here?"

Sasha nodded, led her directly to the car, opened the door and asked her to get in.

Gloria held up her red skirt, bowed slightly and sat in the car. The door was closed, and Sasha stood outside the car door waiting.

There are single rows of seats in the carriage, and Tang Yu is sitting on the inside.

Gloria gently covered her neckline with her right hand, and bowed down to sit in the carriage next to Tang Yu.

She still sat upright. Even though she had become the proprietress of Lizi Bar today, and was polite and generous in dealing with people, she still felt a little reserved when facing Tang Yu.

Gloria licked her red hair beside her ears, straightened her posture slightly, put her legs together tightly, her knees to the left, and her hands folded on her thighs. Her temperament was dignified and elegant, but also a little shy.

"Mr. Tang." Gloria said hello softly.

Tang Yu responded dully, looking through the electronic image bulletproof car window to see the lively scene outside, and asked.

"Is the opening going well?"

Gloria lowered her eyebrows and nodded: "Well, everything went well. Many people sent congratulations today."

Tang Yu's eyes remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Tell me about it."

Gloria thought for a moment and then said: "Claire, the bartender at the front desk of the Afterlife Bar, sent a flower basket and a greeting card on behalf of the Afterlife Bar."

"Claire has sent a message to the owner of the Afterlife Bar, wishing business prosperity. Also, I would like to ask Mr. Tang when he is free and can he go to the Afterlife Bar."

Tang Yu nodded.

He knew that last time he and Gloria discussed a Badlands commission at the Afterlife Bar, and Roger most likely knew something about his relationship with Gloria.

"anything else?"

Gloria continued: "In addition to the Afterlife Bar, several gangs sent some congratulations, and the Whirlpool Gang sent a box of records, saying it was an album by the Tinnitus Band."

The Tinnitus Band is a band from the Dance of Death Club. They like to make some heavy metal music, but few people can appreciate it.

"The Tiger Claw Gang also sent a flower basket and some words for Sato, which means harmony brings wealth."

"In addition, several companies have also sent representatives to express their congratulations and hope to discuss some commercial advertising cooperation with Lizzy."

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "At present, the reopening of Lizzy Bar has been basically recognized."

Gloria nodded in agreement, as if remembering something, and quickly added: "People from the municipal government and NCPD also came. They expressed congratulations on the reopening of Lizzy Bar, and also put forward hard requirements."

Tang Yu probably guessed that Mox's sudden growth would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people.

Lucius Lane himself is not a good person. He has a habit of watching Dark Mewtwo. Now that Jotaro is gone, his fun will be reduced by half, and he will naturally feel unhappy.

And it's not just the Tiger Claws who are eyeing Miss Mox. In the eyes of some people, these lonely girls are the best material for making Black Mewtwo.

Gloria continued to explain: "The municipality requires that the official members of the Mox should not exceed two thousand, otherwise the NCPD will list the Mox Gang as a key supervision organization."

"Currently, there are more than a thousand official members of the Mox Gang."

She knew that this was the result of mediation by some high-level officials in Night City. The Mox Gang could exist but could not grow bigger.

Gloria did not tell her little sister Rita Wheeler the news for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Well, let's maintain this scale for the time being. There are too many people and Lizzy Bar can't support it. We need to learn to communicate with them about the profit and financial situation of the bar, and don't take everything on our own."

Gloria was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Tang Yu had already seen the plight of the Mox Gang.

Different from big gangs like the Tiger Claw Gang, they have many high-end clubs and control several street industries, including bad business, Mewtwo, rent collection, casinos, loan sharks and other businesses. They have a wide range of funding sources and strong capital strength. There is even a lot of leftover money to support company and municipal officials.

Compared to the Tiger Claw Gang, Mox is really poor.

There is only one Lizzy Bar that can make some money. Although it is a bad industry, it can be regarded as clean water in Night City.

The Mox Gang can barely feed its own girls, let alone deal with municipal affairs.

Inability to make ends meet is indeed the biggest problem of the Mox Gang.

It is already very difficult to maintain the scale of a thousand people, and it is impossible to directly expand to two thousand people by recruiting a large number of people in one go.

Unless the Mox Gang can open two more Mewtwo bars that are comparable to Lizzy, which is obviously impossible.

Gloria said seriously: "Mr. Tang, I understand."

"Although more people in Mox will lead to financial constraints, there will be more opportunities to gather information. Girls come into contact with people and things on the streets, which often have unexpected effects."

The essence of intelligence is to cast a wide net to catch fish. If you want to obtain first-hand intelligence on the streets, you must have enough manpower spread everywhere.

Not only can they collect information, they can also deliver it.

Just like when Tang Yu secretly organized a riot in the company square, because he did not have his own intelligence network, he had to spread it through the hands of others, which could easily cause intelligence leakage.

As long as a powerful person pays attention to this matter and digs deep into this line, he can dig out Gloria's level, or even Tang Yu's level.

Now that there is an intelligence network like Lizzy Bar and the girls from the Mox Gang, it becomes much easier to spread some information about the direction of the wind. After all, it is easier to blow the wind next to your pillow.

Just like Evelyn Parker, by virtue of her identity as a contact customer, she was even able to obtain information about Yorinobu Arasaka, which shows that her business capabilities are strong.

After Gloria finished her report, she looked up at Tang Yu and found that he had been staring out the window and seemed a little worried, so she asked tentatively.

"Mr. Tang, do you want to sit in Lizzy Bar? We have reserved an exclusive box for you."

When Gloria renovated the Lizzie Bar, she specially set aside a private room on the second floor to focus on the renovation. Not only did it ensure complete safety and confidentiality, but she also prepared a brand new set of various entertainment equipment. It depends on Tang Yu's ideas. Ordered something.

Think about this.

Gloria felt her cheeks were a little hot. It might be that the air conditioning temperature in the car was a little high, and the car smelled faintly of real leather. Judging from the new decoration in the car, it should be Tang Yuti's new car.

What she didn't expect was that Tang Yu refused directly.

"I won't go into the bar this time. Let's talk about it when I get back."

Gloria was a little strange, hearing that Tang Yu meant that he was preparing to travel far away.

Tang Yu was indeed not in the mood to sit upstairs. When he thought of going to see Saburo Arasaka with Michiko, he felt somewhat unsure.

He has never left the Night City in his entire life, and there are people and things he is familiar with here.

Staying in Night City is like staying in his old nest for him. Even if Saburo Arasaka comes to Night City in person, he won't feel too much pressure, and it's not like he hasn't had sex with Saburo before.

But it's different when I go to Kyoto. I'm not familiar with the place and I'm surrounded by people from the Arasaka family.

I am full of rebelliousness, and going to the old house in Arasaka is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

The key point is that Saburo Arasaka has already lived as a spirit. If he notices something abnormal, things may not be easy to handle.

In addition, what worries Tang Yu the most is that he can't guess what little Michiko is playing.

I always felt a creepy feeling when I took myself to see Saburo Arasaka for no reason.

Tang Yu felt inexplicably nauseated when he thought of Sanlang's old face.

"Mr. Tang?" Gloria asked tentatively again, feeling that Tang Yu seemed a little unusual today.

There was a trace of worry in her eyes. Tang Yu's uncharacteristic behavior made her guess that she must have encountered a particularly difficult problem.

But Tang Yu didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, the things that even Tang Yu was worried about were definitely not something she could solve.

Tang Yu then looked away from the car window and looked at Gloria sitting next to him.

Wearing a red dress, she looks like a delicate and mature red rose, showing off her beautiful skin and soft bones.

You can even see that the skin on the shoulders and neck is delicate and smooth, and the neckline is white, plump and firm.

The white flowers are embellished with a thin silver diamond chain, adding a bit of unique charm, and the rich beauty is as natural as nature.

Tang Yu pointed his index finger on the armrest of the car seat. After a burst of light, a chip card popped out.

He pulled out the chip card and handed it to Gloria, and then said: "This is the vehicle authentication chip, you can just scan it and read it."

Vehicle authentication chip?

Gloria was a little unresponsive and quickly took the chip with both hands, her eyes full of doubts.

Tang Yu said bluntly: "This car is prepared for you. It has on-board bulletproof, weapons, and intelligent systems."

"You're already in charge of Lizzy, and it really doesn't make sense that you don't have a decent car. If you don't know how to drive, just let Sasha do it."

Tang Yu thought that he met Gloria because of a car accident. Now that she is the head of Lizi, she needs a car for work inside and outside. It is necessary to change her to a better car.

Gloria was stunned. She never thought that this car was specially prepared by Tang Yu for him. She didn't know what to say for a moment, and a warm current surged out of her heart. It was so hot that her eyes were moistened unconsciously. .

She looked at the man in front of her dreamily, her eyes not moving at all.

Living in Night City, she has experienced not only ten thousand but also thousands of hardships in life. Along the way, she has only relied on herself.

For so many years, she and David, mother and son, had been dependent on each other, and every day they lived could only be described as struggle.

There is only one hope left in life.

I just hope that David can successfully graduate from Arasaka Academy, join Arasaka Company as soon as possible, and climb to the top of Arasaka Tower.

For this hope, she devoted all her energy.

She lived for this hope every day, lived for David, and never thought about herself.

now.

Her career has achieved considerable success, and both her life and financial situation have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Everything starts from that car accident.

That dilapidated old car couldn't withstand the machine gun fire and broke down. Now Tang Yu prepared a brand new bulletproof car for her.

This made her really think a lot.

After a while.

Gloria seemed to realize something and quickly wiped her tears and said in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang."

Tang Yu saw that Gloria was in a high mood and knew that she must have never received such an expensive gift, so he comforted her.

"It's just a high-end bulletproof vehicle, so don't worry too much."

The words just fell.

Tang Yu transferred another amount of money to Gloria and said.

"This money will be used according to the situation. After all, if you don't have enough funds to build an intelligence network, you won't be able to earn anything from the Lizzy Bar."

Gloria was stunned and quickly counted the change in her electronic account.

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million"

A whole million euros!

Gloria almost screamed. She quickly covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Tang Yu in disbelief. She seemed to be more sure of something.

Where is Mr. Tang going?

He was giving away both a car and money, so why did he feel like he was handing over the funeral arrangements?

Even thinking about this, Gloria felt even worse.

The happiness of the new landlady who took office today disappeared in an instant.

After Gloria received the new car certification chip from Tang Yu and the electronic transfer of 1 million, she felt bad.

She had a strong hunch that something must have happened to Tang Yu, so he was so anxious to give away the car and money.

For a while.

Gloria's heart clenched unconsciously. She held the chip tightly with both hands. She could no longer restrain her inner impulse and asked seriously.

"Mr. Tang, are you hiding something from me?"

Tang Yu felt that Gloria's behavior seemed a bit strange today. According to her usual behavior, she would not ask such questions in this way.

"What are you referring to?" He felt that it might not be appropriate to tell Gloria about the Arasaka family.

Gloria bit her lower lip stubbornly, raised her head and looked directly into Tang Yu's eyes, and asked, "Are you leaving Night City? You may never come back?"

Tang Yu: "."

Are all women’s intuitions so accurate?

He is indeed leaving Night City and going to his old home in Arasaka, Kyoto. There is a real possibility that he will not be able to come back.

Tang Yu felt an inexplicable sense of oppression when he was stared at by Gloria's fiery eyes. In order to stabilize her mood, he still explained seriously.

"Well, I'm leaving Night City for a business trip for a while."

Gloria's eyes dimmed and she asked helplessly in a low voice, "Is it arranged by the company?"

Gloria knew that as a senior executive of the company, it was impossible for Tang Yu to disobey the company's instructions.

If you want to leave Night City, or even be transferred out of Night City, this is possible.

She doesn't want to see such a result, it's really not possible, and it's not impossible for her to hope that Mr. Tang will resign.

Tang Yu nodded slightly, and seeing that Gloria looked more worried than himself, he had to continue to explain.

"The top man in Arasaka Company will celebrate his birthday at the beginning of next year. People who are over 150 years old take this matter very seriously."

"So I have to go and wish him a birthday. I hope he can live two more years."

Gloria was a little strange. The so-called birthday celebrations were just birthdays, and generally speaking, such activities were held as a family unit.

As a senior executive of the company, is Tang Yu related to the Arasaka family?

Gloria said with some surprise: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I don't know about you and the Arasaka family. I took the liberty."

Tang Yu saw that Gloria had misunderstood him. After getting along with her for such a long time, he basically had a firm understanding of her. Appropriate disclosure of some deeper things was necessary to deepen the relationship between them.

"I have nothing to do with the Arasaka family."

"This time I went to celebrate the birthday of the Arasaka family because I was invited by director Michiko Arasaka."

"Maybe because of the Tiger Claw Gang incident, Director Michiko wants to go back to her hometown to explain some situations."

"After all, the headquarters of the Tiger Claw Gang is in Kyoto, and the incident in the Night City Hall will soon spread to those ears."

Tang Yu actually didn't know much about Michiko's purpose, but he just mentioned it casually after recently solving the Tiger Claw Gang's problem.

Michiko Arasaka?

Gloria did not expect that such a high-level person would be involved, but it was reasonable to think about it. As a member of the Arasaka family, Michiko Arasaka really needed to go home to celebrate her birthday.

But why did she take Tang Yu to Kyoto, and it also involved the Tiger Claw Gang. Could it be that Michiko Arasaka was sitting in the floating car on the rooftop that rainy night?

Gloria's thoughts suddenly spread out and she thought of many things at once.

Tang Yu saw that Gloria's brows were frowning, and maybe she was starting to think wildly again. He didn't want anything to happen to him while he was away from Night City, so in order to appease her emotions, he continued to explain.

"Actually, the reason why I let you intervene in the conflict between the Mox Gang and the Tiger Claw Gang is not just to let you control the Lizzy Bar."

"The more important reason is that Michiko Arasaka wants to control the Tiger Claw Gang. In order to fulfill her idea, I made this situation so that Michiko Arasaka can get Sato's handle to blackmail the Tiger Claw Gang."

Gloria understood somewhat: "So the Tiger Claw Gang suffered a heavy blow, and Sato can still hold the top spot. It was Michiko Arasaka's arrangement."

Tang Yu nodded slightly, Gloria's mind was still moving quickly, and she immediately understood the key points.

"The Tiger Claw Gang has become much more peaceful during this period. You can concentrate on running the Lizzy Bar business well. As for the intelligence network issues, they are still in the initial stage."

Gloria nodded seriously. She also understood that the new batch of girls who joined Mox were still newcomers. If they want to become spies, they have to go through a period of polishing. It is best to cultivate one or two people like Ai A social butterfly like Flynn Parker.

After listening to Tang Yu's explanation of the cause and effect, she became calmer and felt a little embarrassed about the situation just now.

After calming down, she realized that it was quite risky to ask about Tang Yu's personal affairs rashly, not to mention that it also involved the Arasaka family. Fortunately, Tang Yu just explained it to her patiently.

Tang Yu's patience made Gloria feel a little ashamed, and at the same time, she was even more moved.

But a new question soon arose in her mind. If she and Michiko Arasaka went to Kyoto to celebrate her birthday, did that mean it was just the two of them.

But she really didn't dare to ask this question again.

Gloria didn't know what to say. The successive gaffes made her suddenly lose her mind and she had no idea. She had to lower her head and hold the car chip tightly in her hand.

There was silence in the carriage for a minute.

Seeing that the conversation was over and Gloria didn't make any move, Tang Yu reminded her.

"How about you try the car first."

Gloria finally came to her senses and quickly inserted the vehicle authentication chip in her hand into the biological nerve slot in her neck to read the authenticated vehicle information.

After the prosthetic eyes turned for a moment, the vehicle was certified successfully and she obtained the ownership of the car.

Gloria pursed her lips and resisted the urge to say thank you. She already owed Tang Yu too much for his kindness. Just saying thank you was no longer enough to express her thoughts. Actions were better proof.

Tang Yu saw that Gloria had successfully certified the vehicle, so he said casually.

"Sasha will stay with you for a while."

"As the owner of Lizzy Bar, I have to pay more attention to safety issues."

Gloria nodded, not seeming very interested.

Tang Yu looked at Gloria's frown and felt a little helpless. He explained for a long time that the person who gave her a car and money also injured her, so he could only say with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be a guest at Lizi when I come back."

Finished.

Tang Yu reached out to push the door open, but unexpectedly Gloria rushed over, grabbed the door handle with one hand, and locked the door.

She pressed half of her body tightly, preventing Tang Yu from moving at all. Her shy face turned slightly red, and her voice was soft but firm.

"Mr. Tang, let me give you a ride, okay?"

Today there is no more 2-in-1. I will try to get more tomorrow and try to update four times.

At the end of the month, I will try to get over 1,000 monthly tickets. Thank you everyone for instant noodles.
