The same goes for Gu Yi. Little Black Rabbit is also a native of Sin City. Her experience may not be as tragic as that of the assassin girl, but she can still see the shortcomings by looking at the small details.
The only vested interests are the gang leaders, while ordinary people can only suffer.
Moreover, this kind of atmosphere will affect Night City, and no one can stay out of it... As the saying goes, if Sin City is a little rotten, Night City will be rotten all over. After all, there is a market only when there is demand. Where does the demand come from? Aren't they people from Night City...
Especially now that there is a new batch of "Forgotten", you know, any group may lack high-end talents, but there will never be a shortage of rubbish. "Dragon City" recruits people indiscriminately to expand its capacity, and it also takes the garbage that others don't want, which is bound to make Sin City even more chaotic.
Anyway, Xu Shi didn't want to see things turn out like this. Even if he had no sympathy, Sin City was such a big and good place, but it was only used to this extent. Isn't that a waste of resources?
Not to mention that Long Tiandinglian didn't contact him, wasn't he also trying every means to stabilize the other party?
Moreover, he knew that the old man must have the same intention. If he had such an idea, the other party might be even more pure than him... Wasn't the conflict between "Quill Pen" and "Dragon City" because of this? Now that the mortal enemy took the initiative to show goodwill, it would be foolish not to accept it.
To be honest, judging from what my grandfather did, he is a serious and upright character...
Xu Shi secretly admired him in his heart.
Thinking about it this way, when Wen Shengkui asked him what he thought, he was not actually asking for his opinion, but more like a reminder for him to be prepared.
Of course, I can't just answer casually. Dare to say that the old man didn't have the intention of testing the school? Don't be naive.
"...Boy, what you said is interesting."
Sure enough, after a brief silence, Wen Shengkui nodded seriously, his approval evident in his eyes, and he was obviously very satisfied with his grandson's answer.
To be honest, he was unwilling to give up such an opportunity. The chaos in Sin City was indeed one of his concerns, and that worry was not false... In other words, Xu Shi's answer could not change his decision.
But he still asked one more question, "If I really make peace with Long Tianding, won't you be worried?"
"What's there to worry about?"
Xu Shi shook his head in a relaxed manner. "Whether this is a good thing or not, let's not talk about it for now. There is no eternal ally, only eternal interests. If Long Tianding doesn't look for you, grandpa, he will look for someone else. So it seems that I have to thank you for at least telling me."
This is true.
The intrigues among the six major financial groups have never stopped. They can be laughing and chatting happily today, but they may stab you in the back tomorrow. In essence, it all depends on how to get more benefits.
For example, the "snake ring" is very popular now, so naturally everyone will make a fuss about it. But if someone comes up with a better thing, I'm afraid the situation will be completely different.
As for my gratitude to the old man, that is true. Whether you have considered it or not is one thing, and whether others say it or not is another.
Even if I don't tell you, you won't be able to say anything. Not everyone can be as upright as Wen Shengkui. I really want to do it, but you should also be prepared.
From this, we can see his attitude. After all, the previous ice-breaking has worked, and the relationship between grandfather and grandson is gradually warming up. Otherwise, no one would care about you.
When Wen Shengkui heard this, his approval grew even stronger.
What happened before had already changed his mind a lot, and today when talking about this relatively sharp issue face to face, he admired Xu Shi's confidence and vision even more.
Moreover, Xu Shi's words have another meaning if you listen carefully - there is no eternal ally. This is telling him in disguise that whether he cooperates with Long Tianding or not has nothing to do with whether he targets me, Xu Shi. When the time comes, we should turn against each other. There is no need to save face for this bastard...
Wow, what a great grandson!
He is worthy of being a descendant of the Wen family.
Wen Shengkui really liked his grandson's ruthless and cruel character. He looked so carefree, but in fact, he had considered everything. He didn't have to worry about him being too stubborn and getting into trouble. This kid must have already figured out how to deal with Long Tianding...
But even though he liked her, he was still angry for the sake of appearance, "There are no eternal allies... Do you mean that one day, maybe you will join others to deal with me, an old man, for some reason?"
"We are not allies."
Xu Shi said seriously, "We are a family."
……
"…Who are you family with?"
Wen Shengkui paused, denying it, but he couldn't hide his smile at all, "Don't talk nonsense here, I won't fall for it."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Grandpa's teaching is absolutely right."
Xu Shi responded repeatedly like a piece of meat on a rolling knife, "I have some connections in Sin City. If you start cooperation with Dragon City, I can also provide help."
"I want you to show your courtesy?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him, "But since you are so sincere... I will accept it reluctantly."
Xu Shi was laughing like crazy in his heart.
All I can say is that although Tsundere has retired, Tsundere Old Man will not retire. He is already old, so it is completely understandable that he still stays in the previous version.
Gu Yi listened quietly at the side. On the surface, she looked quite elegant, but in fact, her mind was a mess.
She just thought that the conversation between the grandfather and grandson was quite interesting, but she couldn't tell what the specific meaning was. She didn't know how many twists and turns there were in one sentence... Anyway, she couldn't keep up with their pace at all.
So why did you bring me here, Xu the bastard? Wouldn’t it be better to use this time to play games and complete missions?
It seemed that all she could do was listen quietly. It was always right not to speak, right?
Then I took a sip from the teacup from time to time. It tasted good. What was this? Oh, tea. Another sip...
But the grandfather and grandson happened to be chatting, and the conversation turned to her.
"It seems that your Director Gu is quite introverted, right?"
Wen Shengkui looked at the little black rabbit that was drinking tea mechanically, with a hint of doubt in his expression.
He was not wrong in judging people and felt that this girl was not a lady from a wealthy family, but why was she acting so reserved?
The old man had no idea of his own domineering aura.
"It's okay. She's not like this usually. She's quite lively."
Xu Shi smiled and said, "But the child is still young, so I brought her to visit you to broaden her horizons and experience the cultural atmosphere of the "Quill Pen". "
As he spoke, he patted Gu Yi, signaling her to flatter her grandfather.
“…Ahhh, that’s right.”
Miss Black Rabbit recovered and responded quickly, knowing that she couldn't avoid this hurdle.
Fortunately, she understood Xu Shi’s meaning, and she could still handle the composition topic. It was just a matter of praising herself, and this was very simple.
But how to praise...
Gu Yi quickly glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on the calligraphy hanging on the wall behind the desk.
Just by looking at the signature, you can tell that it was written by the old man himself and framed and hung up.
"I, I have always been interested in literature..."
Miss Black Rabbit organized her words, cleared her throat and spoke, "For example, this pair of words, is, is very good."
"Oh? What's so good about it?"
The flattery seemed to have hit the right spot, Wen Shengkui asked with interest.
"It's, it's very good... Dragons and phoenixes dancing? Powerful and vigorous? Deep artistic conception?"
Gu Yi searched her brains for relevant words, "This should be written as... Shengjian Center? Ah, is Chairman Wen going to enter the catering industry..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Shi grabbed her and gave her a slap in the face.
"That's called a pure heart!"
Xu Shiren was numb at this time, and explained in a low voice.
Good man, can you pick an area that you are good at? You really have to challenge yourself at this time, right?
Why don't you mention the buffet restaurant?
The old man was also embarrassed. The 75-year-old man didn't know how to respond for the first time when he was confused by the 21-year-old Miss Gu Yi.
Finally, Xu Shi recovered and smoothed things over. "Don't bother with her, Grandpa. This kid is from Sin City, so it's normal that she can't recognize cursive writing. Or I can say that I support your cooperation with Dragon City, right?"
“…Hahahaha, I don’t blame her.”
Wen Shengkui laughed when he heard this. "You are right. Judging from this, the problem in Sin City is indeed urgent."
"But this little girl is quite interesting. If you really want to learn these things, you can come to my place often in the future and I will teach you how to write?"
"Oh……"
Gu Yi responded with his head down, searching for a crack in the ground that would make him feel more comfortable.
"Thank you very much, why don't you say thank you to Director Wen?"
Xu Shi laughed and stopped talking about this topic. If he showed his timidity once, he could get away with it. But if he showed it too much, it would really disgust people...
"By the way, when I came here today, I didn't seem to see Miss He Er?"
He picked up a new topic, "I was quite surprised to see her at your place last time."
"What's so surprising? You don't even know this?"
Wen Shengkui snorted, "That child has been studying here for a long time, and it has been many years now. If you don't know, it only shows that you don't care about your grandfather at all, let alone your family? Forget it."
How would I know this... Xu Shi was embarrassed, but he really didn't pay attention to these things before, and the original book would not write about such details.
But I have to say it, you broke off relations with my mother, didn't you? Don't put the blame on me alone!
"You are a heartless person anyway."
The old man didn't let him off. "Yuxia is your elder in terms of seniority. If you want to, don't mess up the seniority in the future... As for her, she said she went out to collect folk songs recently, so I didn't do much."
Get away! It's impossible!
Xu Shi would never accept such an arrangement.
It’s not because of what He Yuxia did, but because in this case, wouldn’t He Laosan become his uncle?
No, beat me, beat me!
"She went alone? Would she be in danger?"
He avoided the question and expressed his concern casually.
"How could there be any danger? She is the eldest daughter of Shark Tooth after all. Even if that old man He Jiayuan denies her, her safety is guaranteed."
Wen Shengkui was not worried.
Xu Shi thought about it and it was true. With He Yuxia's status, her daily security was taken care of both overtly and covertly, and she only needed to eat, drink and have fun.
Thinking of this, he still felt a little melancholy.
That was my appearance.
After chatting for a while, Xu Shi took Gu Yi, said goodbye to Wen Shengkui and prepared to go home.
