Chapter 265 You Guys Are the Ones Who Know How to Play

Ke Ling's words gradually calmed down Gloria's nervousness. Her mind was uncontrollable, and she once again thought of what the strong man who drove them over said.

She had to admit that Mr. Devil did have an amazing affinity and could make people relax quickly.

Even though she had always been wary, she now felt from the bottom of her heart that Lord Devil would not embarrass the mother and son.

In fact, the effect of Ke Ling's charm value is not that exaggerated, but the bonus of [Socialite], coupled with the gap in status, makes him appear to be very approachable.

When an ordinary stranger smiles at you, you won't think he's very friendly, you'll just think he's inexplicable. If he's nice to you, you'll just think it's natural. After all, he's very aggressive towards strangers. Most of them have some problems.

And a person who can take your life or death will appear very friendly if he smiles at you and talks to you calmly.

Gloria Martinez obviously felt this way in front of Ke Ling. She even felt that Ke Ling was considerate and could understand the difficulties of her single mother.

"David, I admire you very much. Come be my subordinate. You are destined to be more than ordinary."

Ke Ling didn't know what Gloria was thinking, so he spoke straight to the point. In fact, he originally wanted to say, "David, be my son," but considering that his mother was still watching, and she was still a As a single mother, it is really inappropriate to say this. There are some things that cannot be played casually.

"?!"

Ke Ling's words made Gloria immediately alert. This Devil, just now, was saying that it was not easy for her to support David in his studies and to make David understand her hard work. Why did the conversation suddenly change and she wanted David to study again? Be his subordinate? !

She understands that it is not easy and hard for her to provide David with education, so she simply doesn’t let David study, right? ! That’s not how you understand it!

"You mother and son, think about it. I can give you strength and money. If you want to go to school, I can help you finish your studies. If you don't want to go to school, I can also directly arrange for you to work."

Ke Ling then spoke, "Recruitment must be based on salary. Naturally, his treatment here is unparalleled, and he will never treat David badly."

"this"

David Martinez was stunned. He didn't expect Ke Ling to do such an operation. Was he going to accept him as his subordinate in advance? He himself didn't know that he had such potential and was worthy of such investment.

Are you destined to be unwilling to be ordinary? To be honest, David himself had no feelings about this. His life was very ordinary. In front of those rich kids, he was as ordinary as a weed on the roadside.

"Mr. Devil, David is studying at Arasaka Academy. I hope he can join Arasaka in the future to get ahead and have an easier life. At least he won't have to work as hard as me every day."

Perhaps because Ke Ling was indeed kind and easy to talk to, Gloria's words became smoother and smoother. She expressed her plans very seriously. This was her plan for David's life.

"Tsk"

The old captain who had been listening silently couldn't help but was speechless. This idea was a bit too naive. He was full of simple illusions about the life of a company dog ​​and thought it was a good job.

In fact, company dogs are also consumables, especially for a large company like Arasaka, which can eat people until no bones are left. Consumables are brought in in batches, but really There are not many people who can get ahead.

The competition among corporate dogs is extremely fierce, and there is no bottom line. Framing, betrayal, and assassination are all resorted to. The main theme is winner takes all, winner takes all. They think that being a corporate dog can lead a good life. , that’s really a bit too much to think about.

"What. What's wrong?"

Gloria looked at the old captain and spoke carefully. Ke Ling looked handsome and kind, like someone's noble son, but the old captain looked very street-wise, with a cigarette in his mouth and a look on his face. disdainful and seemed to be very dissatisfied with her words.

"You are pushing your son into a pit of fire."

The old captain was also unceremonious and expressed his views very directly.

"Why do you say that?"

Gloria pursed her lips, a little unconvinced. She was doing it for David's good, how could she push David into the fire pit?

Going to work in Arasaka and being a company employee, social status, personal safety, and salary income, which one is not better than hanging out on the streets? And there is still huge room for growth.

"Why do you think your son can compete for the company's resources with those second, third, and fourth generations with strong backgrounds?"

The old captain asked the most critical question, which is also David's biggest shortcoming, and that is his family background. This cannot be changed, and it is also a gap that will always exist.

For other things, you may be able to rely on hard work and talent to make up for it, but this family background cannot. And in the face of family background, no matter how hard you work, no matter how talented you are, it is simply not enough.

"This is today's society. Even if your son is lucky enough to get into Arasaka, he will still be a plaything for others. You will do all the dirty work, and the rewards for your achievements will belong to others."

The old captain was sarcastic and sarcastic about the company dog. He had seen this kind of thing happen all the time.

As for security issues, to tell a joke, we can’t even count the number of corporate dogs that are easily solved by cyberdrifters every year.

These were just killed by the way while doing tasks, not targeted assassinations. Ordinary company dogs are not qualified to be named for assassination. They can only be killed like an unknown sidekick, and their deaths are unknown. of.

Moreover, there are countless corporate dogs who have committed suicide due to huge pressure. These corporate dogs who look glamorous on the outside are actually just poor people who sold their souls to the company. The company can take everything away from you casually. .

"This, this, this"

Gloria wanted to refute, but she found that she really didn't know how to refute, because she really didn't understand the life of a company dog ​​and could only see the most superficial glories of a company dog.

Compared with her, these big shots must know more. Judging from what the old captain said, it doesn't look like he made it up to deceive her. Besides, what's the point of deceiving her? Was David really that important to these people?

Gloria had to admit that David was everything to her and her pride, but David was definitely not that important to these people.

"I just want to know why."

David Martinez, who had been silent until now, spoke up. He looked at Ke Ling with confusion and expectation in his eyes.

"Because you are different, David, and I trust my eyes and I see the potential in you."

Ke Ling replied with a smile, of course it wasn't some insight, it was just that he was greedy for his body, ah, he was greedy for the qualities he could bring.

"Have we met before?"

David Martinez was even more puzzled. He didn't remember seeing Ke Ling before. If he had seen such a dazzling person before, he would never forget it and would never leave any impression.

"I've seen you, that's enough."

Ke Ling still had a smile on his face. Not only had he met David, he had also read David's story several times.

David fell silent. He already wanted to agree. Although he didn't know why, he just felt that Lord Devil would not lie to him, but would completely change his life.

Ke Ling no longer looked at David, because he knew that David had completely accepted his suggestion, and Gloria was only one step away.

"Actually, it's easy to want to work in Arasaka. I can directly arrange for David to enter Arasaka. Michiko Arasaka is working for me."

Ke Ling threw the king bomb, which immediately stunned everyone present. Even the old captain had a "WTF" expression on his face.

"Michiko Arasaka?!"

If we say that among the three current heirs of the Arasaka family, who is the most popular and well-known in Night City, it is undoubtedly Michiko Arasaka. After all, Michiko Arasaka started her family in New America, and her entire position is tied to it. This way.

It has only been a few years since the Arasaka family's power re-entered New America, but Michiko Arasaka has been in New America since she was born, in Night City. With her identity, background, and skills, she is certainly well-known in Night City. Very high.

"beep."

Ke Ling dialed Michiko Arasaka's communication and let it out directly.

"Lord Devil, what are your orders?"

The communication was connected, and the voice of Michiko Arasaka came. This post-00s generation was very smart, and she directly transformed into a task master. Whatever Ke Ling arranged, she would do it immediately. She mainly focused on being obedient. Since she couldn't resist, she just started. enjoy.

"You have David Martinez at Arasaka Academy. Give him a position where he doesn't have to work and gets paid directly."

Ke Ling was not polite and gave the order very directly. Gloria and David were dumbfounded by these words. There is such a job? ! Is this Lord Devil just kidding them? !

"Okay, shall we arrange to enter Arasaka? Or my Danger Girl?"

What surprised the mother and son even more was that Michiko Arasaka over there agreed without saying a word, and she still had other options!

"Of course Arasaka, people look down on you as a dangerous girl."

Ke Ling smiled and joked, which made Gloria anxious and wanted to explain, but she didn't dare to speak.

"Hmph, then this is really bad. My Danger Girl is much better than Arasaka, both in terms of treatment and boss. Moreover, Arasaka will soon be in chaos."

Michiko Arasaka was not polite at all. She boasted directly and then revealed Arasaka's background. Yorinobu Arasaka had already obtained the things and was on his way to Night City.

"Then you put David Martinez under your company and pay him two salaries."

Ke Ling didn't say much about Arasaka, but gave David another salary.

"no problem."

Michiko Arasaka didn't ask too many questions and was very measured. When the communication was hung up, she immediately made arrangements for David Martinez.

"Congratulations, Mr. David Martinez, you have been hired by Danger Girls. Position: Private Detective. Salary: 20k/month."

Before David could ask anything, he had already received a message from the "Danger Girl" company. In addition to this message, there was also a salary of 20,000 euros directly deposited into his account.

“It’s actually true”

David Martinez was dumbfounded. Although he felt that there was no need for Ke Ling to play tricks on the mother and son, when it really happened, he still felt as if he was in a dream.

"What's real? Did you really enter Arasaka?!"

Gloria was stunned for a moment, and then looked at David with a shocked face, obviously feeling incredible about this result.

"No"

David was about to deny it because the message he received was from "Danger Girl", not "Arasaka", but before he could say anything, a message from Arasaka was sent.

"Congratulations, Mr. David Martinez, you have been hired by Arasaka Night City Branch. Position: Logistics Department Staff. Salary: 20k/month."

After seeing this news, David Martinez was already a little numb. He responded to his mother mechanically:

"Yes, I was accepted by Arasaka and also by Danger Girls. The salary of both jobs is 20,000 euros per month."

These words directly shocked Gloria. She didn't know what expression to make. She felt that her knowledge had been subverted.

At the same time, Gloria also truly felt what the old captain just said. Compared with those second, third, and fourth generations, David’s background is indeed much different, and this gap is a An unbridgeable chasm.

Through Ke Ling's set of operations, she has deeply realized this. Sure enough, powerful people know how to play, and their descendants get resources that they can hardly imagine.

"Lord Devil, let David follow you."

Gloria quickly started to slide and directly chose to agree to Ke Ling's request. She could no longer find a reason to refuse. She just wanted David to live a better and easier life. By following Ke Ling, it was obvious that This purpose can also be achieved.

The main thing is that the old captain's words and Ke Ling's actions have proven to her that the company is not that easy to mess with, no one is really bad, and Ke Ling can become the person behind David.

Gloria is not a fool. The opportunity is in front of her and she must seize it. Furthermore, Ke Ling obviously has no intention of giving them a chance to choose. They have even arranged their work. It would be a bit awkward to refuse at this time. I don’t know what is good or bad anymore.

She was also worried that if the kindness failed, Lord Devil might be silenced. This was not impossible.

"David, what do you think?"

Ke Ling nodded to Gloria, and then looked at David Martinez.

"Of course I do."

David Martinez is naturally not stupid. Although he feels that Ke Ling must have other desires from him, he feels that he really has nothing to lose. Ke Ling has treated him so politely. Even if he goes through fire and water for Ke Ling, it seems that There is nothing to hesitate about.

Moreover, with these two jobs, his mother no longer has to work hard, and he can support Gloria.
