Chapter 68 Renfield

The next day.

Tang Yu got up early.

The smart butler starts the day's work as usual.

Curtains, hot water, voice broadcast, etc., the automated process is started.

Tang Yu walked into the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face.

After the smart butler finishes broadcasting weather, traffic and other conditions, it continues to broadcast unread work information.

"You received an unread text message from Military Tech Meredith Stout"

"You have received three financial transfer messages from Arasaka Company"

"You have received a message from the front desk of the Arasaka Corporation Special Operations Department"

"The "Night City Perspective" you subscribed to has an updated issue."

After Tang Yu finished washing, he returned to the living room, picked up the 'Dragon Fist' glasses on the table and put them on.

“I didn’t expect to wake up to so many messages in one night.”

Tang Yu browsed briefly.

Aunt Mei sent a congratulatory text message, with a small emoticon at the end of the sentence, a pursed smile.

Tang Yu replied immediately.

“Looking forward to our next cooperation”

I planned to rest at home today, but suddenly I received three transfer reminders, all from the Finance Department of Arasaka Company.

After checking in detail, the funds have been automatically transferred to the personal electronic account.

One of the grants was a mission allowance to complete the collection of military-grade Sian Westan human body operation data.

One sum was the reimbursed medical expenses, 12,000 euros, which were spent on the hospitalization of Gloria and her son after the car accident.

One amount is an additional six-month bonus for all employees of the Counterintelligence Department, calculated based on the department's basic monthly salary.

The three payments totaled nearly 120,000 euros, which was a large amount of money.

A question suddenly occurred to him. If he serves as deputy minister of two departments, should he receive double salary?

In the Arasaka Group, generally speaking, when you hold concurrent positions, you will be paid according to the highest position.

But now he is not holding a high-ranking position and a low-ranking position, but holding positions of the same rank in two different departments, which is equivalent to one person working two jobs.

If you only receive a deputy minister's salary, it will be a loss no matter how you calculate it. You have to consult the Human Resources Department and the Finance Department about salary payment.

His thoughts began to drift away from the salary, and he suddenly remembered that Jenkins said he had prepared a surprise today.

A message left at the front desk of the Special Operations Department reminded his deputy minister's office that it had been sorted out.

"It seems like I have to sit in this class today no matter what."

Tang Yu simply finished his breakfast and changed into his work clothes. He was still wearing a tailored suit and uniform, paired with Dragon Fist black-rimmed glasses.

After packing up, I got up and went out.

Ten minutes later.

Arasaka Tower.

Thirty-third floor counterintelligence department.

Tang Yu walked out of the public elevator.

When colleagues in the department saw him, they immediately stood up and greeted him warmly.

Some congratulated, some said good morning, and some female subordinates in uniforms and short skirts looked for opportunities to report their work in person.

Tang Yu refused them all.

His return to Arasaka Tower had already attracted a lot of attention, and now he has been promoted by the board of directors.

There are many people who want to have a relationship at this juncture, but there are also many who harbor evil intentions.

The workplace at Arasaka Tower is like a group of monkeys climbing a tree.

Looking down, everything looks like smiling faces, while looking up, it looks like monkey farts.

Tang Yu did not choose to go back to his office, but went to the front desk of the department to ask.

"Is Mr. Jenkins in the office?"

The receptionist immediately stood up and politely replied: "Hello, Mr. Tang."

"Mr. Jenkins is in the office, but he has a meeting to attend in ten minutes."

"If you have anything to do with him, please come to him as soon as possible."

Tang Yu nodded, left the front desk, and walked straight towards Jenkins' minister's office.

He came to the glass door of the office and walked into the passage. Two scanners emitted blue light waves for detection. After confirming his identity, the mechanical gates opened from the middle to both sides.

Arthur Jenkins was busy packing up documents in the office. When he saw that Tang Yu was visiting, he copied the meeting information to the chip and stood up and said.

"Tang, you came just in time."

"The surprise I prepared for you has arrived."

Tang Yu was also a little curious at this time, what surprises the diamond king Laowu in his forties could think of for himself.

Jenkins picked up the data chip, inserted it into the biological nerve data slot on his neck, and continued.

"This time you serve as deputy minister of dual departments. I really congratulate you."

"And you have worked under me for so many years, and your results are obvious to all."

"I wanted to prepare some gifts for you, but I never knew what to give you."

"You don't often take public transportation to and from get off work, and you're single."

"So, you take this"

Jenkins said, taking out a metal chip card from the lining of his suit, which was about the size of an ID card and glowed with a deep golden luster.

The most eye-catching thing is that there is a capital letter 'R' in the middle of the card.

Rayfield?

Tang Yu almost immediately recognized this chip, the exclusive authentication chip for Rayfield vehicles.

I have deliberately collected various luxury cars from celebrities and piled them in the garage, so I have a fairly deep impression of them.

Renfield, as a world-renowned automaker, only produces high-end supercars for wealthy groups.

Arthur Jenkins saw Tang Yu's indifferent expression and didn't seem to be too surprised, so he smiled and explained his intention.

"With this blue beast, it will definitely be much more convenient to pick up girls."

"A luxury car paired with a beautiful woman is what suits your current status."

"Don't be polite to me"

"If you really want to thank me, give me a few more surprises."

Tang Yu saw that Jenkins was in high spirits, and he was in a good mood recently.

It seems that this hard step on Abernathy has allowed Jenkins to regain the confidence of a man and make more generous shots.

He didn't want to offend his old boss, so he took over the Rayfield vehicle authentication chip.

The two walked towards the door of the office, and Jenkins introduced the origin of the car.

"The previous owner of the car was the CEO of Ye's Company. He offered this car to me at a friendly price. After all, he was the one who asked me for something."

"I'm still in a hurry for a meeting. The car is parked in the underground garage of Ember Nightclub. You can go get it authenticated and pick up the car when you have time."

This was beyond Tang Yu's expectation. The surprise that Jenkins prepared was a luxury car.

But in my previous life, as a top hacker, making money was really not easy.

Tang Yu’s mobility scooter is also a celebrity supercar such as the Renfield Sword in the Stone.

Just because I was tired of driving, I chose to take the train and experience life in the night city.

Maybe this is what is called, plainness is the truth.

so.

Facing the luxury car that Jenkins used to woo himself, it can only be said to be a surprise, but really not much.

But having said that, with his current salary as a dual minister, it is still difficult to buy a Renfield, and he cannot buy it in full.

The value of dual ministers has never been in salary. The authority in their hands is the key to power rent-seeking.

As long as he agrees, people who want to give him luxury cars and gadgets will probably have to queue from the lobby of Arasaka Tower to the door of the office on the 33rd floor.

As a world-class leading company, Arasaka has operations all over the world, and its huge profits in the industry are unimaginable.

Controlling power in Arasaka means controlling wealth and even all resources.

A Renfield can only be regarded as a toy for those in power.
