Chapter 310: Pure Beasts and Horses in Arasaka Tower

Valerie looked at Ling Luxian suspiciously, "That's not right? Since you know Arasaka Yorinobu, why don't you just give this guy to him? Why do you have to go through me?"

It's not that Valerie doesn't trust Ling Luxian, this operation is really a bit of a fart. Could it be that he was just trying to give Valerie some credit? This doesn't make sense.

Valerie had long been promoted to the position of head of the counterintelligence department. If this credit had been given to her before, it might have been of some use. But now, she is just a sesame seed. At most, she will be praised in Arasaka Tower, but otherwise, she will have no practical effect.

Considering that Ling Luxian had repeatedly betrayed her before, Valerie subconsciously became more vigilant.

Ling Luxian smiled slightly, leaned close to Valerie and whispered, "Well, hasn't this caused a lot of trouble for Arasaka Yorinobu recently? He must have a headache seeing me now. I'd better not make trouble for myself at this stage."

Valerie was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Ling Luxian with doubt in her eyes. "Do you think I will believe it?"

No matter what, Arasaka Yorinobu is the current controller of the Arasaka Empire. Ling Luxian is really brave. He caused trouble for Arasaka Yorinobu, but he is still alive and well.

Ling Luxian smiled and said, "Believe it or not."

Seeing that Ling Luxian didn't seem to be joking, Valerie was skeptical and said, "Okay, then I'll take what you said as the truth."

"So what do you want to do now?" Ling Luxian threw her a coquettish look.

"Are you disgusting?" Valerie pinched her nose, pretending to be irritated. "I'm not kidding you. The company knows I'm awake and is rushing me. I have to go back to the company now."

"Ah?" Ling Luxian was stunned for a moment, "I haven't even had a welcome party for you yet, are these company dogs really just pure cattle and horses?"

Valerie rolled her eyes and said, "If you have the time, you should just send me to Arasaka Tower."

"Okay." Ling Luxian shook his head helplessly and walked out of the hospital with Valerie.

In the car, Ling Luxian kept trying to persuade Valerie to stay for a while and let him talk to Arasaka Yorinobu, but she refused.

Valerie was able to reach this position at such a young age because of her hard work. Now that she has achieved great success, of course she will report it to her superiors as soon as possible.

With Ling Luxian around, even the ironworker has to be strong himself. If Valerie relied on Ling Luxian to help her climb up, she would not be herself anymore.

Finally, the car stopped in front of Arasaka Tower.

"Your driving skills are pretty good."

Ling Lu pointed his thumb at himself and said proudly, "Are you kidding? I'm the underground car king of Night City, a certified champion."

"Okay, Che Wang, see you later."

Valerie got out of the car, said goodbye to Ling Luxian, and walked into the Arasaka Tower carrying Lao Hei.

Of course, all the military technology symbols on Lao Hei were removed. This is the company square. If they were seen by the military technology people, there would be a lot of arguments.

Ling Luxian watched her disappear behind the gate and scratched the back of his head. Fortunately, he was born in Rome and didn't have to work as a mule. He had been thinking about hosting a welcoming party for Valerie, but it seemed that he would have to wait until next time.

Arasaka is in a mess right now, and I don’t know how long Valerie will be busy. I guess she will have to bear the consequences, so it’s better to deal with Panam’s affairs first.

Valerie returned to Arasaka Tower and directly threw Old Black to David.

"Keep an eye on him. Don't let even a hair fall off."

David was very happy to see Valerie coming back. "Minister Valerie, you are finally back. Other companies have been causing us a lot of trouble these days."

Valerie is back, and Arasaka is at peace. Valerie is back, and the sky is clear. David, who has been busy as a dog recently, feels like he has seen his biological mother when he sees Valerie return. No, it's even closer than seeing his biological mother.

"understood."

David had Old Black taken away, looked at Valerie, and asked tentatively: "Minister, have you recovered well these days?"

The main concern is whether she can get straight to work. You know, during the time when Valerie was away, David was bullied in the workplace.

Without the backstage, as the section chief who got in through the back door, David was looked down upon. Especially when there were rumors that Valerie was not in the hospital, but had died, and now the top management was just covering it up.

As this evil wind blew, David's situation became more and more difficult. Fortunately, David was smart and capable enough to prevent them from catching him. Now that Valerie is back, she has someone to support her.

Valerie nodded. "It's OK. However, the company's current situation doesn't look optimistic. We must take some measures to deal with it."

Looking at the employees in the counterintelligence department who are all busy, you can tell what's going on in Arasaka now.

"What are your plans?" David asked.

Valerie pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, we need to strengthen the company's security. Military technology has been making a lot of moves recently.

I still have to consult the company's board of directors regarding issues related to military technology. You can do the routine work first.

And we can’t just sit back and do nothing about companies that are causing us trouble.”

David nodded in agreement, "I'll take care of the arrangements."

Valerie patted David on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you have any questions, please report them to me in time."

After saying that, she turned and left, heading to the floor where Arasaka Yorinobu was.

Logically speaking, Valerie is not authorized to meet with Arasaka Yorinobu. Arasaka is not like other companies, the hierarchy is very strict.

However, there is still a hidden rule, that is, it is allowed for the lower to overthrow the upper. Arasaka doesn't care how you get to the top, as long as you have the ability to hold the position, you can hold it.

This is also the reason why Arthur Jenkins dared to assassinate Susan Abernathy directly without being afraid of Arasaka's internal investigation.

That's why, even though Valerie is Jenkins' old subordinate, Jenkins still keeps a close eye on her.

Originally, Saburo Arasaka acquiesced to the existence of this rule just to consolidate his Arasaka Empire, but he never thought that he would be overthrown by his son.

Based on this kind of company atmosphere, even if Saburo Arasaka were to be resurrected, it would be of no use. He would still have to compete with Arasaka Yorinobu to regain the position of the head of Arasaka.

This is a bit too far-fetched. The reason why Valerie was able to obtain the qualification to meet Arasaka Yorinobu was of course because of Arasaka Yorinobu.

Arasaka Yorinobu also wanted to see what kind of style this woman who could be so infatuated with Ling Luxian was like. Therefore, after Valerie woke up, Arasaka Yorinobu directly ordered Valerie to meet him.

After Valerie opened the door of Arasaka Yorinobu's office, Arasaka Yorinobu finally saw Valerie in person. This style was even more dazzling than the one in the video material.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Yoshinori. Do you want me to take a seat?"

"Don't be shy in front of me. Please sit here." Arasaka Yorinobu raised his hand and asked Valerie to sit on the sofa in the reception room of his office.
