Chapter 128 Embers Restaurant

Again, it’s just a few thousand euros a month, is it worth risking your life?

In fact, [Anti-Entropy] was not interested in the information of East Construction Company at all. Dolio and his group's goal was the "Entrepreneur" Type V medium-sized server. Director Martinez happened to be short of such a server to store some low-sensitivity data.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away all the remaining clouds, a swarm of locusts passed through.

Under the wise guidance of Tom Selvig, all of East Construction's valuable equipment was dismantled and loaded onto trucks and shipped out of the city.

The second thing to be dismantled was a large number of small, high-net-value items that were easy to move, such as security hosts, defense turrets, etc.

Finally, it was the turn of the high-end furniture and decorations in the executive offices of the office building.

In the chairman's office, the demolition team found something valuable: a large safe embedded in the wall.

It didn't matter that there was no password. The outer wall was directly blasted by technical expert Pira using explosives. The heavy safe was thrown from the upstairs, making a big hole in the ground. Then the workers lifted it onto a specially prepared small truck like ants moving house.

The workers had nothing else to do, and most of them had engineering prostheses installed.

This is what we workers are called powerful!

In the chairman's office, everyone else was busy dismantling the house, only Pyrrha stood by the wall, examining a painting on the wall.

Dolio stepped forward, "Pyrrha, what are you standing there for? The communication blockade will expire in ten minutes, and there's still a lot of stuff left to move."

Pyrrha scratched his head and pointed to the painting on the wall.

“Untitled 23, 2025.”

"I've seen something similar online. This seems to be one of Blanchez's paintings. It looks authentic."

Dolio got closer for a closer look.

She didn't quite understand the content of the oil painting, but she understood the material of the canvas.

Linen.

The entire painting is not large, approximately 8×10 inches, and is framed in transparent glass and hung directly opposite the chairman’s desk, ensuring that the original owner can see it as soon as he looks up.

"Is it valuable?"

Pyrrha used her long arms to pull the painting and its frame down from the wall and held it close to examine it.

"If it's true, it's worth a lot of money."

Dolio doesn't understand painting, but she understands human nature.

These big bosses are people I need to meet, how can this be false?

"I'll keep it. I'll go back and ask someone who knows the business to take a look. If it can be hung in this position, it's unlikely to be a fake."

Pyrrha nodded in agreement.

Everyone evacuated before the NCPD arrived.

The detained workers and security personnel were released and began to contact relevant personnel.

Hal East, the largest shareholder of East Construction Company, rushed to the company's headquarters in a top-of-the-line Chevrolet Thrace 388 Jefferson (2062) upon hearing the news.

What caught my eye was the mess on the ground.

Looking at the empty factory buildings and unfinished office buildings, the upper-class man who always regarded himself as a gentleman trembled.

It was not until he arrived at his office and looked up that he discovered that his favorite painting had disappeared.

He couldn't bear it any longer and started cursing.

"Who did it?"

The middle manager replied tremblingly, "According to reports from lower-level workers, they are probably a group of Coronado farm workers."

"Have these dung beetles never seen anything good?"

Hal East is not very old, not even 30 years old. He can achieve such success at this age thanks to his unremitting hard work and the insignificant support of Ste Jakojang, Deputy Director of the Urban Planning Bureau and Chairman of the Urban Planning Committee.

As the saying goes, bridges are made of gold, roads are made of silver, and buildings are made of copper.

If you want to work in civil engineering of a certain scale, you need someone to be in charge. Otherwise, why would you get a chance to work in so many infrastructure projects and municipal transportation?

Although the loss was serious, it was not unacceptable to him. Money was only a small aspect of the company, and relationships were East Construction Company's greatest asset.

But such behavior is indeed a slap in his face.

Back in the car, the secretary waited for his instructions without saying a word.

According to her understanding of him, Hal, as an illegitimate child, values so-called face the most because of his birth.

"Ika, contact the head of the Coronado Ranch section of the NCPD for me."

The female secretary agreed and began to use her connections to put pressure on the matter.

The mastermind behind the incident was the one who had just stepped out of the Delaman taxi with Mrs. Martinez.

Gloria hadn't left the house for several months. The heavy workload took up almost all of her time, and the remaining time was filled with the wind and sand of the badlands and sleep.

In order to prevent her from dying suddenly at her workstation, the outstanding people's entrepreneur Jiang Bing gave her a vacation for the first time and personally took her back to Night City for a relaxing vacation.

Embers Restaurant is one of the top high-end restaurants in Night City.

The restaurant is located on the edge of Little Chinatown in the Watson District, close to the coastline.

As a high-end restaurant, it has a separate elevator that can be reached directly from the ground level.

A red carpet was laid in front of the elevator, and several strong men in black were lined up in a row.

The scene, quite a scene.

“Are we eating here today?”

Standing in front of the circular sign with the capital letters EMBERS, Gloria looked up and asked.

Today's host weighed the walking stick in his hand, feeling that the weight that once fit him well now felt a little light in the face of his growing strength. It seemed that he would have to forge it again and make it heavier when he returned.

"Ah."

Jiang Bing now has only one principle when inviting people to dinner: if he can't choose the right one, he will choose the expensive one.

After all, there's no place in the entire Night City that offers better food than the cafeteria at Base 6.

But he didn't know that women don't just eat the food when they eat, the atmosphere is also an important factor.

Embers is not only one of the most upscale restaurants in Night City, but also one of the most famous double restaurants in Night City.

With Gloria's income, Jinguji's clothes were no longer out of reach. She specially bought a beige women's evening dress online for this dinner.

As the saying goes, if you want to look good, you must be filial.

As the old saying goes, clothes make the man, saddles make the horse, and a dog runs happily with a bell.

Gloria's beauty is already very attractive, and coupled with the nobility she has developed from being in a high position during this period, she is extremely beautiful.

In comparison, Jiang Bing, wearing a long red trench coat, looked less respectable.

The main reason was that his bulging chest muscles made his windbreaker a little tight, which was a clear difference from the thin and well-dressed celebrities around him.

Others are elegant, gentle, and civilized, while he is straightforward, violent, and tough.

He also tried to change his clothes to black and continue cosplaying as the Godfather, but all ended in failure. He didn't know whether it was the jar of blood or the "divine seal fragment" that was causing the trouble.

The two were verified and went directly to the 13th floor via the elevator.

As the elevator door opened, a waiter in a Japanese kimono came to greet Gao Ying and led them into the restaurant in authentic Kanto dialect.

So this is a Japanese theme restaurant.

Chapter 129 Lusay Charleson

It's raining outside the window.

The two of them chose a window as their dining spot. Through the special glass, they could see half of the Chinatown district in full view.

"Is this your first time in our restaurant?"

After the two were seated, the waiter handed them two beautifully crafted bamboo menus.

This is a symbol of high-end in Night City, something only country bumpkins with electronic ordering use.

Jiang Bing stretched his head to look at the food on the next table. Sure enough, the amount was so small that it could choke an ant to death.

"Today's chef's recommendation is tuna sushi and rosemary sautéed mushrooms."

The service staff are very experienced and recommend dishes to the guests with a smile on their faces.

“Both dishes are made with the freshest organic ingredients to ensure everyone has the best dining experience.”

The two of them followed suit, and Jiang Bing scratched out a few more pages of dishes, signaling that the dishes should be served quickly.

However, when the finished product was served, the two people on both sides of the metal dining table looked at each other at the same time, with a somewhat subtle look in their eyes.

The fish, the meat, the rosemary and the mushrooms all had a familiar smell.

This isn't the produce Duke Lawson just harvested.

Jiang Bing picked up a piece of mushroom with a fork, threw it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

It tastes the same as what we eat in the canteen in the morning.

Okay, okay, let’s put the export aside and sell it domestically.

Gloria didn't care.

After all, including her, most of the customers who come here to eat are not just eating for the food.

It's face, it's vanity, it's a sense of superiority.

Although these things cost Jiang Bing an extra 4000 euros.

"Mr. Sable, what a coincidence?"

Just as Gloria was holding a glass of Firas 23-year-old table wine and her cheeks were getting redder and redder as she drank, a familiar voice sounded not far away.

"Is it possible to meet someone I know in this place?"

With doubts, the two turned around to look.

Aurora, wearing a goose yellow dress, was having dinner here with a pretty boy in a well-tailored suit.

Jiang Bing leaned over to look at the pretty boy beside him, then looked at his own side.

Faced with this common plot in melodramatic romance dramas, his first choice was to touch the cane on the table.

At least this thing will be more efficient than fists when we fight later.

You have to know that he had just hacked to death a biotech executive not long ago, and then he met Aurora here. If you say it is a coincidence, then you have to ask this twenty or thirty kilograms cane whether it agrees.

But it just happened that way.

"Your friend?"

The pretty boy is polite.

Aurora's eyes moved across Gloria's blushing face, her heart sank slightly, but she remained expressionless.

"Ah."

"Luce Charleson." The pretty boy extended his hand to show his friendliness.

'Um? '

Jiang Bing's heart moved slightly. If he remembered correctly, Aurora's last name seemed to be Charleson.

Aren't these two here to have sex?

But Boss Jiang is a typical obedient donkey who is particular about people. If you give me an inch, I will definitely give you an inch and a half.

Hold your hands together.
