Chapter 106 Be yourself (Thanks ADKiss)

Arasaka Tower.

Tang Yu took the public elevator back to the 33rd floor.

“It’s finally over”

He stayed in Michiko's office for most of the day and didn't return to the department until this point. If he hadn't made an appointment with David for lunch, he would have gone home directly.

Regarding the matter of Special Assistant Sasha, we must find out the details as soon as possible no matter what, and go to Lao Wei's place as soon as possible.

"The thirty-third floor has arrived."

Upon hearing the elevator prompt, Tang Yu stepped out and came to the lobby of the Counterintelligence Department.

The front desk immediately stood up to remind him that there were visitors waiting. Tang Yu waved his hand to indicate that he was not free today.

When he passed by the office area, he immediately felt a strange look and looked sideways.

He found that his colleagues in the office area all averted their eyes and continued to pretend to work.

Obviously, after he was invited away by Michiko's bodyguard, these subordinates who liked to gossip must have had a heated discussion about something.

This was not the first time that Tang Yu knew about their Xiao Jiujiu. The most important thing in the Counterintelligence Department was intelligence.

As long as the people in the Counterintelligence Department are willing, they can dig out any gossip in the company, even if it's the color and style Susan Abernathy is wearing today.

The core of the intelligence department is information exchange. To put it simply, it is a gathering place for gossip. You can hear a lot of strange things here.

Tang Yu alone cannot change the department's atmosphere, and he has also acquiesced in the gossip of his subordinates. Mixing the true with the false can make it easier to hide from others.

After Tang Yu glanced at them, he continued to walk towards his office.

After Tang Yu left, the colleagues in the office area raised their heads again and looked in the direction Tang Yu left. After confirming that Tang Yu had gone far, they all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to whisper.

David also saw Tang Yu who had returned to the ministry, and thought he could treat him to lunch later, if there were no other interruptions.

He found that his colleagues around him were starting to gossip and discuss again. He felt that he was not even hungry anymore, so he quickly started to listen in on their chats and gossips. Listening was an important ability in gathering intelligence.

"You know, the meeting has actually been held for a while. Other departments just sent news that the board of directors was very noisy this time."

"Didn't our boss Tang get invited by the superiors this morning? Since the meeting is over, why did it take so long to come back?"

"The situation is the same as last time, except that two bodyguards have been changed. Is it really the kind of relationship we guessed?"

"Impossible, they are all men with husbands. They are totally incompatible with Mr. Tang, right?"

"Age and relationship are not a problem. Even the workers can be replaced. There is nothing about the husband that cannot be replaced. Moreover, you have seen several women who are strong, but the weak men can last for a long time."

"That's true, I haven't heard from her husband for a long time, but to be honest, apart from her high status, there is really nothing that matches Boss Tang."

"I agree with this. A natural face is still noble. Otherwise, why would those powerful people spend so much effort on maintaining it?"

When David heard them chatting, he felt like a new world had opened up.

Can this be discussed casually?

Is this something David can just listen to?

Under the harsh words of his colleagues, David, who had never even held a girl's hand, felt extremely embarrassed and a little shy.

However, David suppressed his blush and still tried his best to hear the result. Did Mr. Tang really have contacts with higher-ups, or was there some kind of unspeakable relationship? The more he listened, the more he became more and more upset.

"But it's not good to get too close to her. After all, she really came from Kyoto. Who knows how the wind will change."

"That's true. To be honest, Boss Tang has a bit of a cold temper, but he usually doesn't supervise us very much. Although it's not great, he's much better than other department heads."

"Even so, don't even think about it. This is a company. If the supervisor really wants to be nice to me, I will probably be scared to death. Who knows what kind of errands he will arrange for you."

"In the case of Carter Smith, well, it's just his bad luck. After so many years, he failed. Otherwise, he would have had some chances if he had waited a little longer."

Hearing them talking about Carter Smith, David couldn't help but think of meeting Tang Yu at the subway station that morning when he was going to school. He had asked him if he was ready.

David had already heard about Carter Smith. After all, it was a big deal and everyone in the Counterintelligence Department knew about it.

Carter Smith is the deputy leader of the Counterintelligence Department and a G4 employee of Arasaka Company.

Compared to Harry, the leader of the Investigation Section whom David knew, he was only half a level lower and could be considered a middle-level backbone of the department.

Carter Smith had only one single mother. She was very old. Both mother and son died on the same day.

To be honest, this incident left a profound impact on David.

He had thought about it carefully.

If one day, I join Arasaka Company, spend my youth and finally climb to a small middle level.

By then, my mother will be old and I will be tired. How will I be able to keep everything I care about when the whirlpool of wind and rain rolls up?

This is somewhat of a dilemma.

David increasingly felt that joining the company was not what he wanted, but he also didn't know which way to go.

If he really stepped into society, what kind of success could he make? Moreover, Gloria had spent a lot of effort to get him to where he was today. There was no way he could retreat no matter what.

While David was thinking about something in a daze, he suddenly received a message from Tang Yu, asking him to come to the office.

David's heart tightened, and he quickly stood up and walked quickly towards Tang Yu's office without caring about clearing the workbench.

Tanaka Katsuo was sitting in the waiting room, feeling bored, so he had to watch some movies and TV programs through his prosthetic eyes.

He had received news from the R&D department that the board meeting had been completed, but he waited and waited and did not wait until the owner came back.

My mood became less and less annoying, so I turned off the program and prepared to go to the front desk to ask. Just when I looked up, I saw Tang Yu passing directly in front. In a blink of an eye, the other person had already strode past.

Tanaka Katsuo didn't have time to say hello, and it seemed as if the other party didn't see him at all.

He wanted to complain harshly, but thinking about those two slaps and his father's teachings, he endured it.

There is an old saying in the East that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Tanaka Katsuo has the patience to wait until the day he rises.

Tanaka Katsuo thought for a while and simply went to knock on the office door.

His father, Tanaka, is also a company executive. The elders he has been in contact with since childhood are basically senior executives of major companies. Plus, he is from Kyoto, so he doesn't think highly of Tang Yu's identity.

Even if Tang Yu is the deputy minister of dual departments, he still cannot achieve the rank of his father. If he hadn't been stuck after graduation, Tanaka Katsuo would never have admitted this mistake.

Tanaka Katsuo walked to the front desk with his hands in his pockets and asked Tang Yu which office it was.

The front desk staff told him that Tang Yu was not available now and asked him to come back next time.

Tanaka Katsuo was immediately furious. He had just seen Tang Yu come back, why was he not free? Wasn't he still in the office?!

"All you have to do is tell me which office it is, okay?"

He didn't pay much attention to the front desks of these departments, and he didn't need permission from the front desk to find Tang Yu.

The receptionist raised his head and glanced at him, then continued immersed in his work, ignoring Tanaka Katsuo.

He was really angry. Ever since he was a child, had he ever suffered this kind of injustice?

Tanaka Katsuo even wonders if Tang Yu is his natural enemy or nemesis. Every time something related to Tang Yu happens, he is always frustrated!

He was about to have a seizure, but he held it back and decided to go find it himself and learn about the situation of the Counter-Intelligence Department.

It's not difficult to guess the deputy minister's office. If you really can't ask someone you know in the R&D department, you can naturally find out where Tang Yu works. But he doesn't want too many people to know that he's in the Counterintelligence Department. It's a bit embarrassing to come and apologize.

Tanaka Katsuo walked into the office area and began to wander around the counterintelligence department, causing many colleagues to look at him sideways, as if they knew him.

Tanaka Katsuo felt a little weird, like a rare and exotic animal being watched.

What's going on?

Does the Counterintelligence Department also know that my father is Tanaka-sama?

Tanaka Katsuo was confused and continued walking in the office area with some guilt, but his pace was much faster.

Sudden.

He noticed David running over behind him and immediately came up with an idea.

This guy is an intern in the Counterintelligence Department, so he should know where the deputy minister's office is.

So I wanted to stop David and asked in a very arrogant manner: "David Martinez, I want to ask you about Mr. Tang's office."

"have no idea!"

David was in no mood to talk to Tanaka Katsuo, and he didn't know what he was doing in the Counterintelligence Department, so he just hung around here for a long time.

David finally figured it out. The reason why the colleagues around him looked at Tanaka Katsuo sideways was because everyone had already known about the slap he received.

When he registered his number at the front desk, the news spread among his colleagues in the Counterintelligence Department, which is why Tanaka Katsuo looked strangely at him.

It's just that Tanaka Katsuo himself is still in the dark and doesn't know anything.

David ran over quickly and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Tanaka Katsuo was furious, feeling as if the entire counterintelligence department was playing tricks on him, and he was completely embarrassed.

He stood there, clenching his fists in his trouser pockets, and the blue light from his prosthetic body turned around, looking quite angry.

With a cold face, he walked back to the front desk again and asked coldly.

"Let me ask you again, where is your deputy minister's office!"

The receptionist looked up at Tanaka Katsuo and felt baffled. There were so many company executives who wanted to see Tang Yu. An intern who didn't even have a formal employee number dared to come here to show off his face. He was embarrassed on the spot.

"I'm not telling you that I'm not free. Remember to make an appointment next time. Mr. Tang is very busy."

When Tanaka Katsuo heard this, the veins in his forehead almost burst. He gritted his teeth and kept telling himself to calm down.

But the feeling of being offended by his servants really made him angry.
