The next day.

Arasaka Tower, Counterintelligence Department, Minister's Office on the 33rd floor.

Tang Yu sat back on a soft office chair and talked on the phone with his old boss, Arthur Jenkins.

Sasha poured a cup of warm water, filled the tea cup with a small saucer, and gently placed it on the desk in front of Tang Yu.

The warm water in the cup has been boiled and then allowed to cool, so the temperature is appropriate.

She knew that drinking warm water was Tang Yu's drinking habit, so she prepared the water while he was on the phone.

After Sasha put down her tea cup, she turned around and walked to another office area, sat on her desk, and started her day's work.

This office area was arranged for her by Tang Yu. It is located on the left side, close to the office door.

Although the office space is not large, the office equipment is complete and she is very satisfied with being able to work in the same office as Tang Yu.

She first wanted to help Tang Yu organize today's work matters. Since Tang Yu is now the acting minister, and he did not come to the company to work a while ago, many things have piled up. She needs to sort out the schedule one by one, waiting for Tang Yu to make a decision.

.

In addition, there are many reporting matters in the department, which need to be responded to by Tang Yu one by one. Otherwise, a lot of work will be put on hold, affecting the overall work efficiency of the department.

Sasha stared at the screen patiently and carefully, and began to work seriously. Occasionally she felt tired, yawned, and then cautiously glanced at Tang Yu, and then continued to work contentedly.

suddenly.

A piece of work caught her attention.

Kate?

The new Deputy Minister of Counterintelligence.

Kate has sent inquiries to Tang Yu many times, wanting to verify the processing results of the "military-grade Sian Westan", and hopes that Tang Yu can cooperate in explaining the situation that night.

Sasha was a little confused when he saw this job inquiry, but thinking that it was a senior person in the same department, he put it in his work schedule.

Tang Yu was still talking on the phone, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be talking about the company's situation while reporting work to his old boss.

He knew Arthur Jenkins' personality and always regarded the company department as extremely important.

Jenkins is now far away from home and cannot be in charge of the Counterintelligence Department in time. Even if he learns a lot of information, he still feels uneasy.

So after the riot in the company square ended, Jenkins called Tang Yu immediately.

Tang Yu picked up the boiled water on the table, took a sip, and listened to Jenkins complain about his hard life on the business trip.

He laughed at his old boss who was so blessed that he was so busy that he could have a lot of time and nothing to worry about when he was on a business trip, but when he came back he was so busy that his scalp was numb.

Arthur Jenkins got to the point and asked seriously: "How much information do you have about the riot in Company Square? There must be some connection between the riot and Kerry's concert, although it seems that the concert was booked first."

"But soon there were rumors of riots, and they were surprisingly unanimous in targeting biotechnology. If there is no problem here, no one would believe it."

"Besides, you mobilized the resources of the department to help Kerry handle the MSM record company matter, which has already brought trouble to me."

"The boss of the MSM record company flew halfway around the world to where I was on a business trip and asked me to show mercy."

"Fortunately, I was just trying to scare them, otherwise it would have ended badly for me."

When Tang Yu heard what Jenkins said, he seemed to be complaining, but in fact he was asking for the truth, trying to find out whether he had participated in the riot.

But to be honest, the boss of MSM record company is too cowardly. Arasaka hasn’t even taken action yet, and he wants to beg his grandpa to sue his grandma.

Tang Yu didn't hide anything, and directly confessed to Arthur Jenkins: "I didn't expect that this matter would alert you. The problem between Kerry and the record company was indeed settled by me."

"Moreover, I also contributed a lot to Kerry's concert. When there was a riot in the company square, I specially arranged special operations agents to secretly protect his personal safety."

On the other end of the phone, Arthur Jenkins looked a little surprised. He didn't expect Tang Yu to admit it directly, and he couldn't help but feel a little more relieved.

It took some effort for him to single-handedly promote Tang Yu to his current position.

Similarly, Tang Yu's excellent performance also made Jenkins feel that the investment has paid off.

"Well, since that's the case, just deal with some things and don't let some people in the department get the hang of it."

"The riots in the company square can be so lively. I'm afraid the municipal government and NCPD are indispensable to add fuel to the flames. I have already seen the scene, and no one cares about this mess at all."

"Anyway, it's good that our department is not involved."

Tang Yu found that his old boss Jenkins was becoming more reasonable. He must have also realized that winning people's hearts is more important than getting to the bottom of everything.

Jenkins is curious about the truth behind the riot, but this curiosity is only dispensable, because there is a high probability that Arasaka Company will not be involved.

If there is really anything to do with Arasaka Company, then it is most likely Tang Yu's line.

The riots involved the concert, the concert involved Kerry, and Kerry involved Tang Yu. This suspicion is reasonable.

Tang Yu continued to explain: "It may be hard for you to believe it, but Kerry and I have some friendship."

"But more importantly, Kerry has a close relationship with the guy above us, and you should know something about rock music."

He was hinting at something to Jenkins, but it couldn't be made clear.

It is true that Tang Yu and Kerry have some friendship, but only for a short time after they met.

It’s true that Kerry and Arasaka Yorinobu had some friendship, but it was limited to rock and roll stuff.

They are all true. It depends on how Jenkins interprets it. After all, it is impossible for the old boss to ask Arasaka Yorinobu for verification in person.

When Jenkins heard this information, he immediately thought of the key information.

It was Kerry who wanted to organize the concert, but it was most likely that Arasaka Yorinobu was tacitly supporting it.

He was extremely familiar with the fact that Arasaka Yorinobu once played rock music and worked on Steel Dragon in Kyoto.

Arthur Jenkins suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the municipal government and NCPD did not act, and other surrounding companies also let it go.

Because this riot has been the acquiescence of everyone from the very beginning.

At this point, Jenkins felt that it was almost done. When talking to smart people, say half of the words and leave the other half.

Tang Yu also gave a brief explanation of some basic situations in the department, which roughly meant that everything in the department was stable and everything was progressing step by step.

The new deputy minister Kate has not arranged any errands for her. I will arrange a division of labor for her when she is free.

After hearing this, Jenkins expressed satisfaction and asked Tang Yu to work hard for a while and serve as acting minister for a while.

Tang Yu didn't bother to care about what his old boss was doing outside, so he hung up the call after a few perfunctory words.

He doesn't want to be an acting minister at all. He has a lot of trouble waiting for him all day long.

and.

He could already imagine that the moment he sat in the minister's office, there would be another wave of gossip outside.

Why is Mr. Tang about to be promoted again, is preparing to serve as the head of the Counterintelligence Department, Mr. Tang is favored by the Arasaka family, and so on.

He was too lazy to explain. For many things, people only believe what they see. The more explanations, the darker things become.

When Sasha saw that Tang Yu was free after making a phone call, she was about to submit the sorted work items, but she made a mistake.

Tang Yu answered the phone again and started talking about business.

On the phone.

Meredith smiled and asked, "Does this count as a favor you owe me?"

Tang Yu naturally knew what Aunt Mei was referring to. News Channel 54 broadcast the information last night. Painkillers developed by biotechnology had serious side effects. This could be regarded as a disguised form of helping Sasha fulfill her previous wish.

"Ow? I didn't ask you for this favor."

"But I admit it."

"Besides, I believe there will be an opportunity to repay the debt soon."

Meredith couldn't help but smile and said, "You still have some conscience."

When Tang Yu heard this, he felt that after the last tight-lipped private meeting, Aunt Mei seemed to be becoming more "old and disrespectful".

But he is also a veteran, and he doesn't care at all.

The workplace is like a battlefield, if you take it seriously you will lose.

To compete with a strong woman of Aunt Mei's rank is to see who can fish longer.

Then, Meredith turned to the topic and said in a deep voice: Biotechnology was not careful this time and exposed such a big scandal, so it is right to suffer some losses."

"In addition, it has been confirmed that Joanne Kochi defrauded military technology. The biotechnology side said that it will deal with it seriously, haha, showing a completely ignorant attitude."

"I don't know how deeply the riot in the company square last night is related to biotechnology, but the 'Nightingale Project' is still the top secret of military science and technology. Some things are just a matter of time. If it really continues to cause trouble, it will not end well.

"

Tang Yu had already expected that Aunt Mei would doubt him. After all, the scandals that broke out in biotechnology were all related to him.

Moreover, these things were basically accomplished through Aunt Mei's hands.

Whether it was Joanne Kochi or News 54, if we had these two pieces of information, we would know that the riot in the company square had a lot to do with him.

Although there is no clear evidence, digging further will reveal more clues.

We can even go further and boldly speculate that he is the mastermind of the riot.

It’s just that Aunt May is now on the same side as him. The two of them worked together to establish Joanne Couch’s criminal evidence and broke the biotech painkiller incident together.

In a sense, Aunt Mei was showing her sincerity to him and extending an invitation to form an alliance.
