Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 176 The conscience of the company

As the melodious music of the piano gradually sounded, the party began.

The distinguished guests outside the lawn gradually dispersed, and then walked away in pairs, gathering towards the magnificent living room of Wood Manor.

Concierge attendants in work uniforms, one person every five steps and one post every ten steps, politely greeted the distinguished guests to enter.

After standardized and unified training, the waiters' greeting actions are as uniform as replicas of each other.

Even the smile on his face was kept at an angle that just showed his eight teeth.

The male VIPs each took their exquisitely dressed female companions and slowly entered the flower-filled classical hall.

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

He then squatted next to V, preparing to hold up her slender bare feet and help her put on her high heels again, those untamable black crystals.

Tang Yu's fingertips had just touched V's calf, and the other person immediately retracted his leg as if he was electrocuted.

V tightly covered the hem of her skirt, crossed her knees, and stared at Tang Yu with a wary look: "What are you doing?"

The two of them had escaped from the noisy crowd and found a secluded corner where there was no one and sat on the ground, chatting all the time.

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

She thought there was no need to pretend in front of Tang Yu, after all, the other party already knew who she was.

Even if she puts on a black dress and moves into a high-end estate, it won't change her nature of being born on the streets and living on the streets.

V is used to being free. If it weren't for the fact that he owed Tang Yu money and was heavily in debt, it would have been impossible to accompany him to a place like this.

to be honest.

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

V can accompany Tang Yu to fool around in the dance battlefield, but this does not mean that she agrees to enter the next battlefield.

The act of touching her ankle just now made her feel relaxed while chatting completely gone.

After all, hanging around with a frivolous person like Jenkins would inevitably lead to bad thoughts.

Tang Yu looked at V, who was on guard, and said amusedly: "The dance has begun, are you planning to enter barefoot?"

The party was about to start, and he estimated that V would not only be unable to step on these shoes, but would also find it difficult to put them on.

The biggest feature of this pair of black crystal high heels is the pair of lace ribbons, which require special techniques to tie, otherwise the look and character will be greatly compromised.

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

V ignored Tang Yu's kindness, picked up the high heels by himself, and began to tinker with it seriously 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 was defeated.

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

What's more important is that she, who was already unsteady on her feet, can no longer even stand.

Forced by the situation, V turned to Tang Yu with some embarrassment and asked 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 threaded back and forth in his hands, and it was quickly tied with a beautiful etiquette.

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, his expression serious and calm, and he couldn't help but feel a different feeling in his heart.

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

very beginning.

V always thought that Tang Yu was mentally ill and had too much money and no place to spend it, so he wanted to have fun, so he deliberately messed with her.

But now she has 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 circles, but was also 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 is luxury cars or watches, they are just decorations for those men to show off, and even women are nothing more than weapons in their mouths.

But V can deeply feel that Tang Yu is different from them, or even the same type of person.

She couldn't describe exactly what it felt like, but it was Tang Yu's unique temperament and smell.

A bit bad but also a bit gentle, a bit domineering but respectful of her feelings and thoughts.

V could not see the fascination and desire for power in his eyes, but only the carefreeness and indifference of living wantonly.

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

"Why, are you a nymphomaniac?"

The thoughts in V's mind disappeared immediately, and he raised his iron fist in embarrassment and wanted to bang it 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 immediately didn't want to beat Tang Yu. He just wanted to escape into the party quietly immediately, and then sit inside and wait for the party to end and go home.

She quickly picked up the hem of her skirt, quickened her pace with small steps, and followed Tang Yu towards the conference hall.

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

At the beginning of the lanterns, the sound of violins and instruments was melodious, the magnificent party hall was filled with light and shadow, and the holographic projection on the stage fully displayed the sense of neon streamer technology.

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

Technology and classical beauty are vividly reflected in this conference hall.

The two of them chose a deserted buffet seat, each picked some snacks, and looked at the atmosphere of the place with interest.

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

Fruit is a rare thing in Night City. She is used to eating synthetic food, but she is still not used to the taste of native fruit.

All the distinguished guests were drinking and chatting, and the focus was not on them, so no one cared about eating and drinking.

Only occasionally did a waiter come up and politely ask if he wanted to provide high-end drinks.

V also specifically asked if there were stupid monkeys, but only received a negative reply.

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

A matrix of blue light like raindrops gathered from all directions, and finally settled on the stage. A blue figure condensed and the holographic projection host officially made his debut.

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

The two eyes flashed frequently like dazzling blue diamonds, strange and dazzling.

This familiar look reminded Tang Yu of his old friend, Ott Cunningham.

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

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

It solemnly introduced the theme of tonight's charity party, and introduced to the distinguished guests present the charity plan that Ye's company is committed to human resources protection in Night City and is working hard to implement - Duodi Tuowang.

This charity program mainly targets the poor groups in Night City. People with low and no income can apply for assistance from this charity program.

Ye's Company will provide free training to applicants and provide necessary prosthetic modifications to help them regain a foothold in society until they are qualified for a job that supports themselves.

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

The celebrities present could not help but applaud after listening to the host's introduction, and all praised 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 have received assistance from Ye's company, and after training and transformation, they have joined the front line of construction sites and can operate industrial machinery for construction.

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

The plan was so detailed and the examples were clear that even V on the side 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. Various high-sounding video pattern scenes were staged in turn, depicting a beautiful and grand picture of the Night City.

Tang Yu didn't even raise his eyebrows, concentrating on selecting rare and fresh fruits, with a cup of warm tea on hand.

"You can also believe what the company says. The real purpose behind this charity plan can be two different things."

V knew that there was nothing good about the company, but he didn't quite understand why such a powerful company would go to such trouble and do such thankless things.

She wondered: "If you want to recruit people for prosthetic body experiments, you can definitely find a gang to do the dirty work. It is more efficient and less expensive, and you don't have to worry about reputation issues. It is definitely 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 true purpose. The deeper it is hidden, the greater its ambition."

"Ye's company's strength does not lie in prosthetic transformation, nor is it engineering infrastructure as the public thinks."

Tang Yu poked V's forehead with his index finger and said solemnly: "But here."

Brain?

V was a little confused.

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

"In short, no matter how nice the company's words are or how beautifully things are done, never believe it." Tang Yu advised while chewing.

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

"Then can I trust you?"

There will be another update later!
