Thanks to the advanced technology of 2077, after such a long time, the engineering team finally completed the construction of the base.

An office building, several employee dormitories that can accommodate thousands of people, as well as ordinary shooting ranges, VR training rooms, etc. have all been completed.

In addition, the engineering team also planned the layout of the base very reasonably.

The engineering team left plenty of room.

It can also be expanded outward if necessary in the future.

Su Xiao is very satisfied with the construction of the base, and it is indeed the engineering team recommended by Rogge.

At this time, David suddenly came to find Su Xiao.

He looked worried, but he lowered his head and didn't say a word.

So Lidya Su took the initiative to speak.

"What's wrong, David, what happened?"

"My mother regained consciousness."

"This is a good thing." Su Xiao thought she had found David looking for her, but was embarrassed to say that he wanted to ask for leave.

"Do you want to ask for leave to see her? It doesn't matter. I've approved it. I'll give you three days' leave. If it's not enough, I'll give you another three days."

David hesitated and said: "No...no, boss, I don't dare to see my mother, because she might ask me if I study at Arasaka Academy. I...I don't know how to answer."

It turned out that I was worried about this.

Lidya Su patted him on the shoulder: "Then I'll go with you and let me speak for you."

David looked happy: "Really? Thank you, boss."

……

Trauma team at the hospital.

In the single ward, Su Xiao and David met David's mother, Gloria.

After she woke up, Gloria learned from the nurse that it was Su Xiao who sent her to the hospital, and it was Su Xiao who paid for all the treatment expenses.

Gloria did not feel happy or excited, but seemed uneasy.

Because she didn’t know what Lidya Su’s purpose was.

She asked herself that there was nothing in her that Lidya Su could like.

Just when she was thinking wildly, Su Xiao brought David to her.

Gloria suppressed her thoughts and a smile appeared on her face.

"You are Mr. Su, right? I heard from the nurse that you sent me to the hospital and paid for my treatment."

"After I am discharged from the hospital, I will find a way to return the money to you as soon as possible."

Lidya Su smiled and said: "In fact, there is no need to worry about money. Are you fully recovered now?"

Gloria nodded and said, "It's fine now. Thank you for your concern."

Then, she looked at Lidya Su and then at David, seeming a little confused as to why David was with Su Xiao.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked the question hidden in her heart: "David, was it Mr. Su who picked you up from Arasaka College?"

Sure enough, Gloria would ask this question.

David glanced at Lidya Su.

"Mom, actually..."

The words were on David's lips, but he couldn't continue.

Seeing that David was unable to speak, Su Xiao stepped forward to help him: "Ms. Gloria, actually David is working for me now."

"Working for you?" Gloria's eyes widened. She turned to look at David, "David, is this true? You didn't go to Arasaka Academy?"

David plucked up the courage to answer his mother's words, but he still did not dare to look into his mother's eyes. Instead, he lowered his head and said.

"Mom, we... I broke the college's online education system, do you remember? Because I lay in the hospital for several days before being discharged, and Arasaka College expelled me at that time."

Gloria breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought it was because David didn't want to go to school.

It turned out to be the reason at the college.

Doesn’t an aristocratic school like Arasaka Academy, which provides privatized education, just need money?

As long as the previous compensation can be paid back, she believes that David can still return to the academy.

Gloria is ready

Getting out of bed: "Don't worry, I'm leaving the hospital now and going to discuss with the principal..."

David stopped her and shook his head.

"It's useless, Mom. I've already been there. No matter what I say, even if I offer to pay twice the price as compensation, the principal won't agree."

"Originally, I am a student with a good background. To Arasaka Academy, one more is not too much, and one less is not too little. Although I have good grades, what's the use of that."

"Other students in the college were eager for me to be kicked out. They all thought it was a shame and a shame that I, a weakling, could enter Arasaka College and be in the same class as them."

"The principal is also one of theirs, so naturally he won't stand on my side."

After listening to David's words, Gloria sat on the bed in a daze.

The whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

She gets up early and is greedy at night, and saves money and money.

What for?

Doesn’t it mean that she doesn’t want David to be like her and have to work at the lowest level in the future?

That's why she tried her best to send David to Arasaka Academy despite the confused looks of people around her and the burden of life.

She didn't know whether David was actually not doing well in the academy, or she didn't know that even if David graduated from Arasaka Academy and entered Arasaka Tower, he would still have to start at the bottom of Arasaka Company and slowly work his way up.

However, being able to enter Arasaka Company is already so much higher than others.

At the very least, there is still room for advancement if you stay at Arasaka Company.

And people like her, who do the most work and the most tiring work, sometimes don't even have time to take off their clothes when they get home, and fall to the ground because they are so exhausted.

After working so hard, I can only get the meager salary.

You will never be looked down upon by others, and there will never be a path for promotion or salary increase.

Her son had previously said that he did not want to continue studying, and Gloria had a hard time convincing her son.

Now, due to objective reasons, my son was expelled after all.

Although this is not the son's responsibility, Gloria's efforts over the years have come to nothing.

"Mother!"

Seeing his mother like this, David felt very heartbroken.

He wanted to comfort his mother but didn't know how to speak.

He knew his mother's dreams and expectations, but being expelled from Arasaka Academy was beyond his control.

If possible, he would also like to stay and study, even if it is just for his mother.

But objective facts cannot be changed by personal will.

At this time, Su Xiao said in a gentle tone: "Ms. Gloria, maybe you don't know my identity yet. Let me introduce you again. You can call me Su. I am the president of Shuguang Military Company."

Gloria suddenly woke up and came to her senses.

"Company? You just said company, right?"

Su Xiao nodded.

"Now David is an employee of our Dawn Military Company, and the salary I pay him is three hundred euros a day."

Mitch and the others can get a thousand euros a day, after all, they are veterans who have been on the battlefield.

Lao Wei earns [-] euros a month. Not only has he been a prosthetist for many years, but he also graduated from the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Tokyo School of Medicine.

And David is just a young boy with no skills or experience.

Although he has been learning combat skills from Mitch and Scorpion during this period, a rookie is still a rookie after all.

So Su Xiao can only give him three hundred euros a day for the time being.

But even so, David's salary is already [-] euros a month.

"Twice as tall as me?"

Gloria was shocked.

She worked exhaustingly for more than ten hours at the medical center and only received more than 4000 euros a month.

But Su Xiao was willing to offer David a high salary of nine thousand euros.

But then, Gloria seemed to think of something and asked nervously.

"David, you didn't do anything...bad, right?"

"What are you thinking about, Mom, of course not." David glanced at Lidya Su worriedly, and found that Su Xiao didn't show any displeasure, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "I am now studying under the boss's hands. Combat skills, the boss is ready to train me to be a warrior.”

Su Xiao also explained: "David has not yet left the army, so I can only give him a daily salary of [-] euros. When he grows into a qualified fighter, I will increase his daily salary to [-] euros." salary."

"Moreover, if David's ability is more than that, one thousand euros is not the end, and I can give him a salary that better matches his salary."

David also struck while the iron was hot: "Mom, what the boss said is true. Although our company is not big, everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for the boss. In Night City... no, it should be said in the entire North America. There’s no better boss than the boss.”

It is said that children from poor families become masters early, and Gloria knew about David's precocity.

David rarely showed affection to anyone other than himself.

Unless this person makes David feel safe.

After thinking for a moment, Gloria said, "Mr. Su, I have a request."

Lidya Su nodded: "You say."
