Chapter 820! Corporate Dog and Love Brain
Chapter 820! Corporate Dog and Love Brain
……
Valerie didn't hit Jack on the head with the bottle, even though Jack, who was big, would be fine if he was hit by a bottle, and it wasn't like he was shot...
Putting down the bottle again, Valerie spread her hands towards Shen Ye: "As you can see, I work in the company."
She knew that most people in Night City didn't like the company's people, and she just heard Shen Ye scold the company.
However, Shen Ye did not react much. He was not from this world. Although he did not have a good impression of the company, he would just curse a few times at most, but he would not be like Rita standing next to him.
"Stupid corporate dog." Rita cursed under her breath.
In fact, the Ritz Bar has received company employees before, but making money is one thing, and scolding is another, but there is no conflict or contradiction.
Rita cursed very quietly, and in the noisy bar, Valerie naturally didn't hear it. She just paid attention to Shen Ye's expression.
"That's great. The salary should be very high, right?" Shen Ye seemed to have forgotten that he had just scolded the company dogs and changed the subject slightly.
Then he was distracted and thought of Lyon, the young man who always liked to talk about his salary.
Rita called her an idiot, but Valerie wasn't really an idiot. How could she not hear that Shen Ye was trying to change the subject? However, she didn't want to dwell on that topic, so she nodded: "It's okay, at least I won't starve to death."
Shen Ye could tell that Valerie was being modest. As the second-in-command of Arasaka's counterintelligence department, Valerie was at least a mid-level leader. Although she could not become rich, she was much better off than the average grassroots employee. Moreover, he remembered that Company V had a good background, and his deceased parents seemed to have left behind a considerable inheritance.
No wonder he became the protagonist, his parents are both dead, and he has a car and a house...
After criticizing Valerie a little, Shen Ye said seriously: "Ms. V, you are too modest."
"I'm not being modest... Also, could you please stop calling me Miss V? It sounds kind of fucking weird..." Valerie shook her head. Naturally, she wasn't a particular person since she had been playing with Jack since she was a child.
"That……"
Well, before Shen Ye could finish the word, Rita glared at Valerie: "Fuck, can you please stop swearing in front of him? He doesn't like it."
"..." Shen Ye looked at her speechlessly, thinking, it seems like you are saying that too?
And what's wrong with you?
Valerie was also a little speechless. She was not a good-tempered person. She responded: "It's none of your business, you idiot love-brained idiot."
"Stupid corporate dog."
"..."
Shen Ye pinched his eyebrows. What the hell is going on?
Children quarreling?
I glanced at Jack next to Valerie, who also looked puzzled.
However, the fire was started by Rita, so Shen Ye had to put it out quickly.
"You two, please give me some face."
He held Rita down with one hand, picked up the wine glass with the other hand, nodded it to Valerie, and said sincerely: "Sorry, V."
"Shen, I..." Rita just couldn't stand the people in the company. Just as she was about to say something else, Shen Ye turned around and looked at her, so she became quiet.
Valerie has seen many people with bad tempers. Such people are not uncommon in Night City. Instead, Shen Ye's sincere apology surprised her greatly. After all, it was just a small matter. At most, they could just go out and fight. Whatever happened, it would be fine.
"I accept your apology. I forgive this...woman." Swallowing the word "idiot" that almost came out of her mouth, Valerie raised the bottle and clinked it with him.
Verbal fights are not uncommon in Night City, especially in a bar, where even a fight is considered normal, so it did not attract anyone else's attention.
After taking a sip of wine, Shen Ye paused, but suddenly didn't know what to say. After all, the atmosphere of the previous chat was gone.
But Shen Ye did not blame Rita. The lower-class people in Night City and the people in the company were incompatible. It was good enough that they did not fight.
Valerie probably thought it was not appropriate to continue the conversation, and she was a smart person... so she should be considered as such, and she was expelled only because she was on the wrong side.
Valerie, who was a smart person, decided to stop here for today. Although she didn't get much useful information, at least she got to know the target person, and it seemed that the other party had a good impression of her. So she drank the rest of the beer, then stood up and said, "I have to go. I have to go to work tomorrow. You know, you can't control your own destiny when you work in a company."
At the end of the story, she laughed at herself, meaning that being a corporate dog is not that easy.
But in fact, she now has a lot of free time and does not need to work 997 like ordinary company employees.
Then she asked: "Do you come here often?"
"He comes here often." Rita answered for Shen Ye, and Shen Ye shrugged.
I didn't ask you, you stupid love-brained idiot... Valerie cursed in her heart, and as a woman, she realized something.
but……
No wonder this woman was so infatuated with him, this man is really good, and most importantly, he is rare... Valerie also had a good first impression of Shen Ye.
Thinking this in her heart, Valerie continued: "Then see you next time."
"it is good!"
However, when he saw Valerie and Jack were about to leave, Shen Ye asked again: "Do you want to add a contact number?"
This made Rita frown, but Valerie's eyes flashed with joy, because she felt that she would have to go through at least several contacts before she decided to take the initiative to ask for it.
However, after seeing Rita's dissatisfied expression, Valerie became thoughtful. Then, she brushed her long silver-gray hair behind her ears, laughed softly and asked, "Can I think you are taking the initiative to ask me out next time for convenience?"
"Whatever you think." Shen Ye spread his hands. In fact, he didn't have this idea.
That's it for now.
"In that case, I'll ask you out next time." Regardless of Rita's angry expression, Valerie said with a smile: "You must come back!"
"Okay!" Shen Ye nodded, and then said a string of numbers.
After memorizing Shen Ye's contact information, Valerie and Jack left the bar.
"Shen..."
Before Rita could finish her words, Shen Ye said, "Rita, let's go out for a walk, go shopping, or have something to eat."
Rita was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Okay!"
However, after packing up and talking to her companions, Rita, who followed Shen Ye out of the bar, said again: "Shen, I still want to say that the company dog is not a good person. You can tell at a glance that she has bad intentions in her heart."
"I know." Shen Ye certainly knew that Valerie's purpose in contacting him was not pure, but so what? In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is useless.
"Then why did you tell her your contact information?" Rita asked puzzled.
"Because...she is a very interesting person." Shen Ye said with a chuckle.
