Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 265 You still know how to play?

Ke Ling's words gradually calmed Gloria's nervous mood. Her mind was out of control at this time, and she once again thought of what the strong man who drove to pick them up said.

She had to admit that Mr. Devil was indeed amazingly approachable and could make people relax quickly.

Even though she had always been on guard, she now sincerely believed that this Lord Devil would not make things difficult for her and her son.

In fact, Ke Ling's charm value is not that exaggerated, but with the bonus of the trait of [Socialite], plus the difference in status, he appears to be very approachable.

If an ordinary stranger smiles at you, you will not think he is very friendly, but will only think he is inexplicable. If he is kind to you, you will only think it is natural. After all, people who are very aggressive towards strangers probably have some problems.

A person who has the power of life and death over you will appear very friendly if he smiles at you and speaks to you in a friendly manner.

Gloria Martinez obviously had this feeling when she was in front of Ke Ling. She even felt that Ke Ling was considerate and could understand the difficulties of her as a single mother.

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

Ke Ling didn't know what Gloria was thinking, so he went straight to the point. Actually, he wanted to say, "David, be my son," but considering that the man's mother was watching, and she was a single mother, it was really inappropriate to say that. Some jokes can't be played casually.

"?!"

Ke Ling's words immediately alerted Gloria. This Lord Devil had just said that it was not easy for her to support David's studies and asked David to understand her hard work. Why did he suddenly change the subject and ask David to be his subordinate? !

You understand that it is not easy and hard for her to support David to study, so you just don’t let David go to school, right?! That’s not how you understand it!
"You and your son, think about it. I can give you strength and money. If you want to go to school, I can support you to finish your studies. If you don't want to go to school, I can also arrange a job for you."

Ke Ling went on to say that when recruiting people, one must talk about the treatment. The treatment here is naturally excellent and David will definitely not be treated unfairly.

"This"

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

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, stand out, and live an easier life. At least he won't have to work so hard every day like me."

Perhaps because Gloria saw that Ke Ling was really kind and easy to talk to, her words became more and more fluent. She spoke very seriously about her plan, which was the plan she made for David's life.

"tsk"

The old captain who had been listening silently nearby could not help but gasp in amazement. This idea was too naive. He was full of simple fantasies 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 is a place where people will be eaten to the bone. Consumables are poured in in batches, but only a few can really make it.

The competition among corporate dogs is extremely fierce, and there is no bottom line. Frame-ups, betrayal, assassination, and everything else are used to their advantage. The main goal is for the winner to be king and the winner takes all. If you think you can live a good life by being a corporate dog, then you are really thinking too much.

"What. What's wrong?"

Gloria looked at the old captain and spoke carefully. Ke Ling looked handsome and kind, like a nobleman from some family, but the old captain looked very street-savvy, with a cigarette in his mouth and a look of disdain on his face, as if he was very dissatisfied with what she said.

"You are pushing your son into the fire."

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

"Why do you say that?"

Gloria pursed her lips, somewhat unconvinced. She was doing this for David's own good, so how could she possibly push David into the fire?

Working in Arasaka, being a company employee, which aspect of social status, personal safety, and salary is not better than hanging out on the streets? And there is also a huge room for advancement.

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

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

Other things may be compensated by hard work and talent, but family background cannot. In the face of family background, no matter how hard you work or how talented you are, it is not enough.

"This is the society we live in now. Even if your son is lucky enough to get into Arasaka, he will be a plaything for others. You will have to do all the dirty work, while the credit and rewards will go to others."

The old captain was full of criticism and ridicule towards the company dogs. He had seen this kind of thing a lot and it happened all the time.

As for security issues, it's just a joke that every year, the number of corporate dogs that are easily solved by Cyberdrone is countless.

These were just killed while performing tasks, not targeted assassinations. Ordinary company dogs were not qualified to be assassinated by name, and could only be killed like a nameless extra, and their deaths were unclear.

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

“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 corporate dog and could only see the superficial glamour of a corporate dog.

Compared to her, these big shots must know more. The old captain's words were very logical and didn't seem to be made up to lie to her. Besides, what was the point of lying to 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, spoke. He looked at Ke Ling with confusion and expectation in his eyes.

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

Ke Ling replied with a smile, of course it was not because he had a keen eye for talent, he was simply coveting his body, bah, coveting the qualities he could bring.

"Have we met before?"

David Martinez was even more puzzled. He didn't remember ever meeting Ke Ling. If he had met such a dazzling person before, he would definitely not forget him. He would definitely not have no impression of him. "I've met you. That's enough."

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

David fell silent. He was about to agree. Although he didn't know why, he felt that this 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 hint, and Gloria was only one step away.

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

Ke Ling threw out a trump card, which stunned everyone present. Even the old captain had a "WTF" expression on his face.

"Arasaka Michiko?!"

If we were to ask who among the three current heirs of the Arasaka family has the highest popularity and fame in Night City, it would undoubtedly be Michiko Arasaka. After all, Michiko Arasaka built her family in New America, and her entire position is tied to this side.

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 means, she is of course very well-known in Night City.

"beep."

Ke Ling dialed Arasaka Michiko's number and made the call directly.

"Master Devil, what do you want me to do?"

The communication was connected and the voice of Michiko Arasaka was heard. This post-00s girl was very sensible and turned into a task master. She would do whatever Ke Ling assigned her immediately. She was mainly obedient. Since she couldn't resist, she might as well start to enjoy herself.

"There is a David Martinez in your Arasaka Academy. Assign him a position where he doesn't need to work and just gets paid directly."

Ke Ling was not polite and gave a direct order. Gloria and David were stunned. There is such a job?! Is this Lord Devil teasing them?!
"Okay, will you arrange for me to be in Arasaka? Or my Danger Girl?"

What surprised the mother and son even more was that Arasaka Michiko agreed without saying a word, and even offered a choice!
"Of course it's Arasaka. I don't like your dangerous girl."

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

"Humph, that's really bad vision. My Dangerous Girl is much better than Arasaka, whether it's treatment or boss. Besides, Arasaka will soon be in chaos."

Michiko Arasaka was not polite at all. She boasted about herself and then revealed some of Arasaka's secrets. Arasaka Yorinobu had already got the things and was on his way to Night City.

"Then you can also put David Martinez under your company and give him two salaries."

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

"no problem."

Michiko Arasaka didn't ask any further questions and was very sensible. After hanging up the phone, she immediately made arrangements for David Martinez.

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

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

“It’s actually true”

David Martinez was dumbfounded. Although he felt that Ke Ling had no reason to play tricks on them, when it really happened, he still felt as if he was in a dream.

"What do you mean really? You really went into Arasaka?!"

Gloria was stunned at first, then looked at David in shock, obviously feeling incredible about the result.

"No"

David was about to deny it because he received a message from "Dangerous Girl" and not "Arasaka", but before he could say anything, another message from Arasaka came.

"Congratulations, Mr. David Martinez, you have been hired by the Arasaka Night City branch, position: Logistics Department clerk. Salary: 20k/month."

David Martinez was a little numb after seeing this message. He mechanically responded to his mother:
"Yes, I was accepted by Arasaka, and also by Danger Girl. Both jobs pay 20,000 euros per month."

These words shocked Gloria directly. She had no idea what expression to make. She felt that all her cognition had been overturned.

At the same time, Gloria also truly felt what the old captain had just said. Compared with those second, third, and fourth generations, David's background was indeed much worse, and this gap was an unbridgeable chasm.

Through Ke Ling's operations, she has deeply realized this point. It is true that powerful people know how to play, and the resources that their descendants get are unimaginable for them.

"Master 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, and following Ke Ling could obviously achieve this goal.

The main thing is that the old captain has proved to her with words and Ke Ling with actions that it is not so easy to get into the company, and it is really impossible without someone, and Ke Ling can be the person behind David.

Gloria is not a fool. She has to seize the opportunity that is right in front of her. Besides, Ke Ling obviously doesn't intend to give them the chance to choose. He has even arranged jobs for them. It would be a bit ungrateful to refuse at this time.

She was also worried that if she failed to show her kindness, this Lord Devil might try to silence her. This was not impossible.

"David, what do you think?"

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

"Of course I do."

David Martinez was naturally not stupid. Although he felt that Ke Ling must have other requests from him, he felt that he had nothing to lose. Ke Ling had treated him so courteously, and even if he had to go through fire and water for Ke Ling, it seemed that there was no reason for him to hesitate.

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