The Creators: From Night City

The pretty boy is also a thoughtful person. From the first time Aurora saw Jiang Bing, she felt that her cousin who grew up with her was not reacting properly.

He looked at Gloria who was sitting opposite Jiang Bing, his heart moved slightly, and he thought he understood everything.

"Meeting is destiny, why not be together?"

Jiang Bing just wanted to find out if this was a coincidence.

So the four of them moved to a larger table and sat together.

Compared to Jiang Bing, a country bumpkin, Lu Sai was very accustomed to this kind of occasion. He called the waiter over and whispered a few instructions without even looking at the menu. The other party nodded and took note.

"What does Mr. Sabul do for a living?" After ordering the food, the other party took the initiative to start a conversation, livening up the atmosphere at the table.

"Do some small business and sell some local specialties here and there."

The other party nodded slowly.

Jiang Bing rubbed his fingers and asked the other party.

"Mr. Lu Sai, you look like an extraordinary person."

"Me?" Lu Sai looked a little surprised, as if he was surprised that Jiang Bing would ask this question.

"Didn't Iroh tell you about it?"

Apparently this is Aurora's nickname.

"I'm a doctor. In fact, most of the Charleson family are doctors."

As an important member of the board of directors of a biotechnology company, the unique situation of the Charleson family, where all members are doctors, is basically known to everyone in the upper class.

In other words, since Jiang Bing could ask this question, it shows that his level is not very high.

But the other party's attitude did not change because of this, and he was very well-educated.

"By the way, Lusay, what brings you to Night City this time?"

Aurora pretended to communicate normally.

"Didn't a high-ranking executive die a while ago? Headquarters sent me to determine the cause of death."

Lu Sai was carefully wiping his hands with a warm towel. As a doctor who makes a living by using his hands, the habit of protecting his hands is ingrained in him.

"Didn't you send your successor here? Why do you really need to show up in person for this matter?"

Aurora is no longer just leaking information; this can be considered a blatant leak of the exam questions.

"Since I'm also the group's 'forensic doctor', I can also come and see you."

"Won't it delay your work?"

Lu Sai glanced at the wine that the waiter had specially taken out of his hovercar and nodded to confirm that it was correct.

"Anyway, I don't like the successor, Walls. Besides, the person is dead, and the tests are all the same."

Jiang Bing glanced at Gloria, who looked a little unnatural, and then turned his gaze to the two people who were asking and answering each other.

The two of them had obviously just had a conversation, and this senior biotech executive named Lu Sai was working in cahoots with Aurora to reveal information to him.

Which nice guy would brazenly talk about these company secrets in front of strangers as soon as they meet them?

However, there are some things that can be seen clearly but cannot be pointed out. Once they are spoken out, both parties will lose room for maneuver.

Two glasses of clear wine were placed in front of Jiang Bing and Gloria by the waiter.

"Take a taste, you two. This is a good product from Connors Garden. If I didn't have a patient who happened to be inside, it would be difficult to buy it."

Jiang Bing naturally would not doubt the connections that a highly skilled doctor could have.

The wine is good, at least in Night City.

The aroma of the dry red wine in the glass is complex and varied, and the fruity and woody aromas rising from the mouth of the glass are very mellow.

It’s just grape juice, Jiang Bing has been drinking a little too much recently.

Jiang Bing naturally couldn't refuse someone's kind invitation. He raised his glass and took a sip. His words were full of courtesy, but his expression was calm.

It was on par with the boxes of Oak River wine from the world of Tomb Raider piled up in the back of the cafeteria.

Aurora shook the wine glass lightly, seemingly observing the wine clinging to the glass, but in fact she was taking the opportunity to pay attention to Jiang Bing's expression.

The other party's reaction was completely beyond her expectations. This six-figure bottle of wine tasted no different from the sugar water on the street when it entered his mouth.

Even the most basic praise seemed forced out.

Chapter 130 Strange Habits

"Luce, why don't you like the newly appointed Walls? Didn't he come here with you on a special plane?"

"He's a man who does things in an extreme way."

Lu Sai was implying something. "Kidnapping, poisoning, death threats, his business philosophy is too extreme. He'll do anything to the extreme, and there seems to be no limit."

Jiang Bing understood that the other party was just trying to warn him to be careful of retaliation from the new food director of Biotech.

As for why he knew he was the one who did it, it was not surprising at all, because Aurora was the person involved!

"Night City's business atmosphere is just like this, no different from anywhere else." Jiang Bing said this with empathy.

"Ha, I almost forgot Mr. Sable also does business in Night City. How about I introduce you to Wals? Maybe there's a chance for us to cooperate."

Aurora's cousin was surprisingly reliable, and his words and actions revealed that he was willing to help Jiang Bing settle the matter.

But Boss Jiang was a man who could chop even the earthworms in his opponent's house upright, so he politely declined.

"It seems I'm going to disappoint Mr. Lu Sai's kindness. My business is very tiring and most people can't do it."

Lu Sai nodded to show that he understood and signaled the waiter to serve the dishes first.

The waiter brought a large dinner plate to the center of the table, and after Lu Sai's signal, he opened the lid.

The curling white mist of dry ice rises into the sky, contrasting with the pink and white fish meat, which is magnificent.

Jiang Bing stared at the whole piece of tuna belly brought to the table by the waiter, and his eyes twitched slightly.

Why does this thing look so familiar?

Gloria's eyes were a little red from holding her breath. It was because she personally ordered people to catch this tuna from the miniature ocean matrix tank.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, part of the fish returned to her.

"It seems that Mr. Sabul is very confident in his business strength." When the other party saw Jiang Bing's answer, he laughed it off and made light of the matter.

If it wasn't Aurora's request, he wouldn't have mentioned it. He was happy with it even though the other party didn't appreciate it.

Along with the 'big belly', a finely crafted sashimi knife was also served.

"I don't know where they get their sourcing connections from, but the tuna here is incredibly high quality, considered top-notch worldwide."

"This is my only hobby. Please forgive me for making fun of you two."

Lu Sai politely apologized to the two of them first.

The hands that he used to hold scalpels now held the slender sashimi knife. His hands, which were used to performing delicate surgeries, were no problem at all in filleting fish.

In fact, the sashimi they sliced ​​is no less delicious than that made by the chef in the kitchen.

Aurora was no longer surprised by her cousin's strange hobbies.

"Good knife skills."

Jiang Bing’s focus is rather bizarre.

Just from looking at these hands, you can tell that the other person's medical skills are definitely not bad. Stability and precision are always good qualities that a surgeon needs to possess.

Although there are various prosthetic devices nowadays and most surgeries can be completely replaced by machines, the irony is that most top doctors still trust their own hands the most.

This means that even if some surgeries are so precise that they require mechanical assistance, doctors will choose wearable auxiliary robotic arms.

"Mr. Sabul has done research on this?"

The other party obviously misunderstood.

"With more practice, you will naturally understand it."

"Then there's a chance, we can have a good exchange."

The other party looked like a medical geek, so Jiang Bing could only keep the rest of his words in his heart.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious as both parties were willing to accommodate each other.

One was born into a wealthy family, received an elite education, had extraordinary knowledge, and was humorous when chatting; the other was simply not from this world, had traveled to several dimensions, and his perspective on problems was always refreshing, and the knowledge he understood was so diverse and weird.

Jiang Bing: I have a lot of knowledge, but it’s all miscellaneous.

The two talked about the evolution of political systems, the new direction of the evolution of cybernetics, the ecological diversity of life, the ethics of cloning technology, and the types and killing methods of weapons to the ultimate answer to human society.

The more they talked, the more frightened Lu Sai became, and the more uncertain he became.

It's nothing, the other party acts like he knows a little about everything, and every time he speaks, he always says something shocking.

Finally, the topic ended with the discussion on the possibility of the existence of the "blood moon" life form proposed by Jiang Bing.

All good things must come to an end. Lu Sai is not as leisurely as a certain unscrupulous boss. He was summoned on official business and had to end this special party.

After he left, it was not convenient for Aurora to stay, so only Jiang Bing and Gloria were left at the table.

It was late at night and the rain was pouring outside the window, hitting the glass and reflecting the piano sound like flowing water.

"Boss, let's go somewhere else."

Gloria suddenly suggested.

Jiang Bing, who wanted to relieve the pressure on the top cow and horse, naturally had no problem with it, so he raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to pay the bill and prepared to pay and leave.

At this time, the waiter came forward and whispered that the meal bill for the two had already been settled by Lu Sai.

What’s that? Mr. Lu is paying for all the expenses?

Young man, the road is wide open!

Taking note of each other, they took the elevator down and headed straight for the new location Gloria mentioned.

The destination was not far away. Gloria, who was a little tipsy due to the alcohol, stubbornly did not call a taxi and chose to walk there.

The two walked north along the subway tracks, taking shelter from the rain, until they arrived near Constitution Square subway station.

Gloria was familiar with the route and led Jiang Bing into an alley.

Garbage filled the streets and alleys, and the entire alley was filled with homeless people wearing tattered clothes and carrying all kinds of cheap artificial foods, as well as homeless people with no fixed place to live.

Gloria's high-end custom-made off-white evening gown was somewhat out of place in the dirty and messy surroundings.

But she relaxed visibly.

This is her comfort zone, and hidden beneath the gorgeous clothes is the first half of her life as a low-level resident of Night City.

"Boss, you know what?"

Gloria suddenly stopped and looked at the trash can in the corner in front of her. A simply dressed Night City resident was rummaging through the trash can, trying to find food to fill his stomach.

He was very lucky today and quickly found a spicy locust pizza. The huge amount of additives prevented it from spoiling for many days.

"When I was in the most difficult time, I also thought about doing what he did and going through the trash cans here, which would save me a lot of money on meals."

Gloria's calm voice concealed surging emotions.

"David's tuition, rent, utilities, property management fees, air purification fees, and other expenses used to overwhelm me every month. Especially at the end of the month, the overwhelming bills almost suffocated me."

"Every time at this time, I come here alone and sit for a while."

As she spoke, the two of them walked around the alley and came to a street surrounded by buildings.

Tom's Restaurant

Chapter 131 Yesterday Reappears

Under the neon sign, there is a noisy crowd, and it can be seen that this restaurant is doing good business.

Gloria, who was dressed gorgeously, was obviously not from the same class as the plainly dressed customers around her, but she was unaware of it and led Jiang Bing into the store with unsteady steps.

"Tom, how's business been lately?"

Behind the bar stood a middle-aged man wearing a white chef's uniform and a black knitted hat.
