With the high-profile announcement of the last company's donation by the holographic host, the charity fundraising session of the gala came to an end.
V counted the few zeros behind the charitable donations, and asked eagerly: "I see that everyone present has donated more or less. Why didn't you donate? That doesn't mean you came to the party for nothing."
Tang Yu looked calm. After eating some fruits, he took a sip of warm tea to moisten his throat, and then said.
"It depends on how you understand it. Personally, I don't really want to come here."
V is somewhat immune to Tang Yu's "arrogance" and asked in cooperation: "Then why are you wronging yourself, you can't control you if you don't come to Ye's company."
Tang Yu said leisurely: "I don't want to bring you to see the world, who knows that you don't appreciate it."
V complained helplessly in his heart.
'Then I really thank you. '
Tang Yu's words never deceived her. Apart from wanting to do some research on Ye's company when attending the party, she held more cards in her hand.
More importantly, I want to bring V out to see and see, so as to make up for the regret that I was fired by Arasaka back then and didn't have time to show off.
suddenly.
All the VIPs in the audience held hands with each other and walked from the aisle beside V to the dance floor.
At the invitation of the man, the beautifully dressed female partner slowly stepped into the spacious dance floor and danced to the melodious music.
Soon.
All the VIPs in the outfield stepped onto the dance floor, only Tang Yu and V were still sitting in the buffet area, attracting many strange eyes.
The sensible waiter walked forward slowly, reminding the two that the dance was coming.
V was stunned again.
It's not good to sit here well, why is there a dance party all of a sudden.
Tang Yu took the initiative to stand up, stretched out his hand to V, and asked her to step onto the dance floor.
V, who was already embarrassed, seemed a little at a loss, and didn't know whether to make a move.
She doesn't know how to do ballroom dancing at all, and I'm afraid she will make a big joke on the dance floor.
But sitting here is not an option, there is no one around, just the two of them sitting at the dining table, extremely awkward.
Tang Yu joked: "Miss V, you can't show me some face. Does our relationship have to be paid more to do things?"
V hurriedly stood up, trying to reach out his hand to block Tang Yu's nonsense.
"How much attention should you pay attention to the influence, you blunt guy, we have nothing to talk about."
Tang Yu grabbed V's slender hand and nodded as if he had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, you have the final say, but sitting here is too embarrassing for me. Good words come first. After the first dance song is over, it will be freedom." It's dance time, if you don't want to be disturbed, you can dance a few songs with me."
V looked at Tang Yu's expression suspiciously, trying to tell if he was cheating again.
But soon she discovered the clues. After a dance song ended, a few scattered couples quit the dance floor. Among them, several single ladies had already walked towards this side, smiling at the corner of Tang Yu's mouth.
Without further ado, V immediately stood up and urged, "Go, walk, hide among the crowd, it's indeed better than sitting here and standing out."
She felt that compared to the many male guests present, Tang Yu was indeed the most pleasing one, and dancing with him at least made her feel at ease.
Tang Yu took Mrs. V's hand and led her slowly onto the dance floor, barely avoiding the coming waves of people.
Those beauties who had already been staring at Tang Yu could only watch the two of them walk into the stage with indescribable crappy smiles on their faces.
They saw that the female companion next to Tang Yu was a complete party chick, who couldn't dance at all, and couldn't even step on high heels.
For a sweet pastry like Tang Yu, it is naturally the dream object of countless girls.
Young, high-level, rich, and the future company career is promising, fully meeting the requirements of all aspects.
If V performed well, they wouldn't think about it.
But the female companions around Tang Yu are too weak, so they feel that they have an opportunity to take advantage of.
then.
Many women who have left their original partners are sitting in the guest area outside the dance floor, quietly waiting for the opportunity. As long as Tang Yu finishes dancing, he can seize the gap and invite them.
Their smiles were a little confident, and they wanted to see how people who couldn't even wear high heels well would handle this kind of occasion.
If you step on Tang Yu's feet, there will be a good show to watch.
But the scene that made them gloat did not happen.
After Tang Yu led V into the dance floor, he held V's palm tightly with one hand, and slowly wrapped her waist with the other hand, and suddenly helped her up.
V suddenly exclaimed.
"what?"
The toes of her high heels stepped on Tang Yu's toe, and she leaned against Tang Yu's chest, even feeling the warm breath.
The unexpected hug made the beauties outside the arena dumbfounded.
It is clear.
Tang Yu intends to teach that buddy to dance, so he will let him step on his toes.
V was tense all over, and faced with Tang Yu's reckless behavior, she was angry and annoyed. It was her bottom line to enter the venue to dance, and she didn't expect him to go so far.
Tang Yu looked at V who was glaring like a bull in front of him, and explained lightly: "Don't think too much, I'm teaching you to dance, it's all normal."
V no longer believed in Tang Yu's nonsense, looked up at Tang Yu, and said with a smirk: "Then I still have to pay your tuition, huh?"
Tang Yu replied generously: "That's not necessary, after all, you may not be able to learn it well."
V: "."
The two moved back and forth in a square inch, their movements were gentle and soothing, and the rhythm of their dance steps matched the music.
V really doesn't understand what's so good about such a boring ballroom dance.
But when she saw out of the corner of her eye, there were many men and women on the dance floor, dancing and gnawing together, completely as if there was no one else around and full of affection.
It's not that she has never seen these pediatric scenes, but in such a high-end and solemn occasion, she is somewhat shameless.
All of them were dressed brightly and beautifully, but they didn't expect to play so obscenely.
V also noticed that the greasy Jenkins had stepped onto the dance floor with several different hot girls back and forth, and received some unknown cards.
You must remind Tang Yu next time to stay away from this kind of person.
One dance song after another, V gradually relaxed, and almost quickly adapted to this simple cross step.
It was nothing more than stepping on the cross back and forth in place, which was extremely simple for her.
But Tang Yu danced for so long, and he never meant to let her go.
V just raised his head and wanted to reprimand him, but found that Tang Yu seemed to be staring towards the right, with a dignified expression.
She turned her head and followed Tang Yu's eyes, and saw a gentleman in a high-end suit and with a back hair, looking at her side with a wine glass.
What surprised her was that the other party's eyes were glowing with a faint blue light, and there was an inexplicable strange feeling.
After their eyes met, Mr. Blue Eyes turned back and disappeared in place.
V inexplicably raised a bad intuition.
suddenly.
She noticed a waiter in a dress, walking slowly behind Tang Yu, holding cutlery, knives and forks, and whistling in his mouth.
But due to the cover of live music, she couldn't hear it too clearly.
The waiter ignored the VIPs who were dancing, and went straight to the dance floor, bypassing the couples, with a clear goal.
It was Tang Yu.
What made V even more alert was that the other party's eyes also had a faint blue light.
at the same time.
Two more waiters sneaked into the dance floor from other directions, and the three of them formed horns behind Tang Yu and surrounded them simultaneously.
The weird behavior of the waiter aroused the dissatisfaction of some VIPs on the dance floor, yelling at them to get off the stage.
But they didn't listen or listen, and continued to walk straight towards Tang Yu.
V hugged Tang Yu's back shoulder more forcefully with one hand, the weight of his upper body hung on him, and said sharply: "There is a situation behind you!"
When the three waiters had just approached and were about to launch an attack, V directly raised his leg and kicked, directly kicking the rushing waiters, hitting them in the head.
Tang Yu took advantage of the situation to hold V's waist and used his strength to make V kick three people in a row.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
All in one go.
Three waiters were kicked to the ground on the spot, knocking down several couples of guests.
The commotion on the dance floor immediately aroused the vigilance of the security guards on the scene, and then entered the venue to control the three waiters and took the knives and forks from them.
V keenly noticed that the blue in the eyes of these three people disappeared instantly.
She looked up at Tang Yu with seriousness and doubts in her eyes.
Tang Yu signaled her not to talk too much, but to wait and see what happened.
The little chaos was quickly brought under control, and the fallen VIPs also left under the guidance of other waiters, many of whom cursed and said it was bad luck.
Before many people realized what had happened, someone from Ye's Company came forward to explain the situation.
Attributing the responsibility to these waiters, they have not yet adapted to the newly implanted prosthetic body, so there will be some involuntary actions.
They are all specially trained and modified for the service industry, without any offensive implants.
The VIPs accepted the explanation and did not continue to dwell on these trivial matters. With such a strong security force present, there would be no problem in terms of safety.
soon.
The party resumed singing and dancing again.
Just when V was wondering what the relationship between Mr. Blue Eyes and these three waiters was, a special secretary came to the two of them and invited them to the reception room for a talk, bluntly saying that it was Miriam Knight who invited them.
The man behind Ye's Company?
Tang Yu and V looked at each other, and then agreed to the other party's invitation.
Go to the reception room on the second floor.
In the world of rippling light and shadows, an old man sat with his back facing him, his fine silver hair was coiled into a bun in a meticulous manner.
"It's Mr. Tang and Ms. V, please sit down." The old man controlled the base and turned around slowly, looking at the two with a gentle face.
"Thank you for what happened just now, and let me introduce you, Miriam Knight."
V was meeting the rumored old man for the first time, the first wife of Night City founder Richard Knight.
Inherited the late husband Richard Knight's behest, used his late husband's reputation and assets to establish the Knight Foundation, and then grew and developed into the current Ye's Company, making many outstanding contributions to Night City.
Under her leadership, Ye's Company undertook the construction of many large-scale infrastructure projects.
Real estate, transportation, water and electricity, and basic network facilities are all contributed by Ye's Company.
There are many rumors about her, but I didn't expect her to appear in front of me at this moment.
Tang Yu didn't like the old lady, so he said bluntly: "Your company holds such a party, it really shouldn't be such a mistake."
"This matter is due to our poor arrangement, and we will make satisfactory compensation for this matter, but Mr. Tang, you are a special person." Miriam Knight skillfully avoided the topic.
She continued with a hoarse voice slowly: "You are the only person who still maintains his original identity, the top management of Arasaka Tower, or the top management of the entire Night City company."
Tang Yu hasn't figured out her plan for the time being, so it must be clear to mention the original body so bluntly.
Threat?
Still curious?
Combined with Ye's company's means, the former means more.
He thought of Ye's company's so-called charity plan. Could it be that Gary, the homeless prophet, accepted their transformation and became like that.
The reason why Gary is crazy and talking nonsense is because his brain prosthetics inadvertently received signals from unknown sources.
After Tang Yu's tracking and analysis at the time, there was a high probability that it was a signal of close communication between Ye's company's senior management, and even involved AI running behind the scenes.
Tang Yu said bluntly: "This is nothing special, after all, no one carries an implant from birth."
Miriam Knight smiled and stopped talking too much, but instead asked: "Miss V, are you interested in working for Ye's Company?"
V doesn't have any good feelings for the company, not to mention the weird Ye's company, even the old woman in front of him has a gloomy look.
Tang Yu said for V: "Thank you for your kindness. The problem of losing control of your mind is serious here. She already has a better place to go."
Miriam Knight: "Oh? I'd like to know where Miss V will go to get a job."
"Terrorist mobile team." Tang Yu replied very positively.
V: "???"
Nothing tonight, I didn't expect Chapter 2 to be on the market for so long.
Damn!
Instant noodles, stand up for me! ! !
