Chapter 188 The Lady Who Needs More Protection
"The following two important news from this station will be broadcast for you."
"Ye's Company issued a public statement confirming that the Matrix Space has been suspended due to obstacles in the trial operation, and the signing of cooperation agreements with related companies has been shelved, and the issue of compensation for breach of contract is currently being negotiated."
"Affected by this factor, the stock market opened down today, and the stocks of many companies fell. Yeshi's stock price plunged, triggering a new wave of selling. Shareholders generally expressed pessimism about the company's new infrastructure plan."
"On this issue, the CEO of Ye's Company said that the cause of the matrix space operation failure is under investigation, the new infrastructure project will still be implemented as scheduled, and the development and progress of Night City will be shared by the citizens."
"According to our special guest, many companies represented by Arasaka will not cancel their cooperation because of this."
After the TV host finished broadcasting the first news, he continued with the second important news.
"As confirmed by the City and NCPD, Mayor Lucius Lane passed away last night."
"The current deputy mayor, Huot, made a public statement on behalf of the municipality. Mayor Lucius Lane worked overtime until late last night. He suffered a heart attack and was sent to a public health center and died after rescue efforts failed."
"Currently, the main municipal work will be presided over by Deputy Mayor Huot."
"Deputy Mayor Huot emphasized in his public statement that he will actively participate in this round of mayor's 'election' and firmly implement Mayor Lucius Lane's 'free' proposition."
"According to the preliminary survey of citizens' support intentions, the support rate of Deputy Mayor Hult is low, not only lower than that of Mayor Lucius Lane, but also lower than that of Councilor Jefferson Perales."
These two pieces of news were like blockbusters, and quickly ignited discussions in the entire Night City.
While preparing breakfast, Tang Yu listened to the sound of the TV broadcast, and turned his head to look at it from time to time.
He made breakfast and put it on the table, wiped his hands, and began to fill his stomach for the day.
For the first news, Tang Yu was not surprised.
The suspension of the matrix space is an agreement he made with Mr. Blue Eyes.
Arasaka did not withdraw the capital and quit the cooperation, so it was just a matter of asking Ye's company for some compensation.
But the second piece of news, the death of Mayor Lucius Lane, made him guess something.
The murderer behind the scenes was Mr. Blue Eyes and they couldn't escape. As for the sudden death from overtime work in the news, just listen to it as a joke.
In the entire Night City, the company dogs who work overtime upside down day and night can be pulled out to fill the entire company square.
It is true that many people died suddenly while working overtime, but none of them were high-level employees.
Tang Yu judged that the death of Lucius Lane had a lot to do with the outage of the matrix space.
According to Ye's company's vision, the new infrastructure plan is proposed, the matrix space is operated, and then Jefferson is supported to run for the new mayor, and after brainwashing, he fully cooperates with the new infrastructure plan.
But because of Tang Yu's intervention, the matrix plan was suspended, and the new infrastructure plan was blocked. The citizens were dissatisfied with Ye's company's practices. Even Jefferson, who was in charge of the project, suffered a decline in his approval rating.
On the contrary, Lucius Lane, who insisted on independence from the beginning, had a higher approval rating, leaving other competitors far behind.
If this trend continues, Jefferson's dream of mayor may be far away.
The higher the support rate of Lucius Lane soared, the faster he would die naturally.
As for the deputy mayor, Huot, in Tang Yu's view, he is completely a wine bag and a rice bag, and he has no competitiveness at all.
Tang Yu remembered that the last time, in order to increase his approval rate, Deputy Mayor Huot simply joined forces with NCPD to kick Taiping State out of the scope of crime rate statistics to prove that the safety factor of Night City has improved significantly under his governance.
Tang Yu looked at the breakfast he prepared in front of him, thinking that it was almost time to call Sasha back.
Gloria has been in charge of the Lizzie Bar these days, and she has gradually started to get on the right track, and everything is moving in a smooth direction.
The matter between Mr. Blue Eyes and Ye's Company has been settled for the time being. On Arasaka's side, he had already talked with Michiko last night.
It's just that the two of them didn't communicate for a long time, and Tang Yu rushed upstairs to report to Saburo Arasaka.
I learned from Michiko that Arasaka Yoshinobu has quietly arrived in Night City, but Arasaka Saburo has not made any statement yet.
Moreover, Yoshinobu Arasaka also stole an experimental relic biochip from the Arasaka headquarters laboratory.
Tang Yu knew that the chip contained the soul imprint of Johnny Silver Hand, but he didn't tell Michiko.
Xiao Michiko revealed this information to him in advance, nothing more than to let him stand in line ahead of time, and the members of the Arasaka Tower Hawk Faction in Night City are already ready to move.
The room leak happened to be raining all night, and Michiko could not control the board of directors, and now it was even more difficult for her to restrain Arasaka Tower in this situation.
Tang Yu read Xiao Michiko's mind, and she was a little confused.
No matter how much preparation she had made in advance, when Prince Arasaka came to Night City, the highest throne in Arasaka Tower was undoubtedly his.
Tang Yu euphemistically hinted to Xiao Michiko that she should learn to avoid her edge, and she should not be the front line of conflicts and confrontations.
But Xiao Michiko hesitated. It was not easy for her to give up the power and career that she had managed for many years and had finally obtained.
Seeing her attitude, Tang Yu couldn't persuade her anymore, so he said goodbye and left, went to the top office, and reported to Saburo Arasaka about the situation in the matrix space.
Tang Yu truthfully told the fundamental purpose of Ye's company's infrastructure plan, and their desire to use the matrix space to bypass the black wall and secretly incubate and flee AI, and even mentioned their coveting of the gods.
He felt that Saburo Arasaka was on the same front in the matter of fleeing AI, so there was no need to hide the main content.
in contrast.
The more serious Tang Yu said about the matter, the more Saburo Arasaka would be more jealous, and he would carefully weigh his own use value when the cunning rabbit died and the running dog cooked.
When the work is done, the tools are useless, and he understands this truth clearly.
as predicted.
Saburo Arasaka did not respond to Tang Yu's handling, which just shows that he acquiesced in Tang Yu's approach.
If Saburo is offended, it will be impossible for him to enter this office again.
Tang Yu sorted out what happened last night a little bit, and after realizing that there was nothing wrong, he wiped out the breakfast on the plate.
The matter of Ye's Company and Matrix Space has come to an end for the time being.
Prince Arasaka ran to Night City at this time, still holding an old friend in his hand, so he had to find a suitable opportunity to meet him.
Tang Yu couldn't help but feel a little headache when he thought of things happening one after another.
After rebirth, many things have changed fundamentally, and some things seem to be developing according to the original track.
This is not a good sign for him.
He stood up, hugged a guitar, and sat on the balcony, but he had no intention of playing.
Looking at the scenery of Night City outside the window, his thoughts flew wildly again.
"The Fifth Corporate War"
In that nightmarish global war, the apocalyptic scene is vivid, and there is devastation everywhere you look.
then.
Full of passion and romance, they vowed to overthrow the corrupt and dirty rule of the company, trying to rebirth a new order from the ashes.
But no one waited for that result.
The power of the company is much stronger than imagined.
The nightmarish past has become the nightmare in Tang Yu's heart at this time.
These days, he is indeed growing, and he has also changed the fate of many people around him, rewritten their life trajectory, and helped them gain a new life.
But the huge gears of this world are still running non-stop, trying to pull everyone into the mechanical gears.
Tang Yu wanted to wrestle with mechanical gears, but he seemed to win, but he didn't seem to win.
He can't see the right answer, just like real life, there has never been an answer.
Just when Tang Yu's thoughts were dim, he suddenly received a call from Gloria.
The phone was connected, and a familiar voice came from the other end.
"Mr. Tang, is it convenient now?"
"Well, what happened?"
Gloria on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and she was a little surprised to hear Tang Yu's gentle tone suddenly.
I don't know if it's too sensitive, so Gloria could only suppress the guess in her heart, and continued to ask: "Mr. Tang, I have something to report to you."
"Speak." Tang Yu said softly.
Gloria's whole body went numb. What's the matter with her tone? It was gentle and delicate, with a little concern.
She was a little uncertain, but she felt a little bit of joy and emotion amidst her doubts. An inexplicable emotion came to her heart, causing her head to go blank.
stunned for a moment.
Suddenly, I heard the concerned question on the other end of the phone.
"how?"
This tone of concern seems to have a stronger meaning, and anyone with a discerning eye can hear it, and it has completely surpassed the general greeting.
Gloria's cheeks were flushed, and she felt a warm surge in her heart.
I don't know if it was too unexpected, or I was moved and didn't know what to say. When I was about to thank Tang Yu for his concern, I vomited inexplicably nervous.
She was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, trying to calm down her undulating chest.
She opened her eyes wide, held back for a long time before recovering, and then said: "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I just now."
"It's okay." Tang Yu tolerated her gaffe again, and his tone was extremely gentle.
"."
Gloria had to start reporting matters cautiously.
She first talked about things related to V and the others.
Although it was Tang Yu's intention to participate in the matrix space operation last night, she paid for the entire operation.
The main large sum of money was paid to Mann's team, although they declined for a while, they still accepted it.
Since they started working with Gloria, they've been earning a lot more than ever.
Followed by Panan, because she sent three people to participate in the operation, and also provided the necessary facilities in the Adekado camp as an operation base.
This credit is not small, so I got the second most reward.
The second is the mercenary V, who received a reward for fighting alone.
Gloria specially changed her into banknotes, for which V was very grateful.
Finally, Lucy, who works for Internet monitoring, declined the reward on the grounds that she was performing a field mission for Internet monitoring and did not participate in the operation for this reward.
The amount of money involved in this operation is not small, and it was all drawn from the million dollars that Tang Yu gave Gloria.
After reporting on the mission, Gloria said she still had one more request.
Tang Yu asked her to speak directly.
Gloria tentatively asked if she could let Sasha return to him and continue to work as an assistant.
Now her personal safety is guaranteed by Mox, and the main forces have recognized her as the proprietress of the Lizzie bar, so don't bother Sasha to stay with her all the time.
Regarding Gloria's request, Tang Yu refused without hesitation: "Now you need protection more than before."
Gloria: "."
