It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"Leaving now?"

On the contrary, Mr. Wen was a little disappointed. He asked reluctantly, "Come to think of it, didn't you say you would bring your pet to see me? How come you forgot about it?"

The little black dog next to it whined twice cooperatively, as if disappointed at not seeing any new friends.

"A pet? When are we going to get one... um?"

Gu Yi was dizzy and just as she was about to start the conversation, Xu Shi forced a smile and dragged her away, "You came in a hurry. I'll definitely do it next time."

Isn't this something you have seen?

Not only is he a puppy, but he's also a stupid, cute, illiterate puppy!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 136 Call me daddy! A hundred times, a hundred times!

"Was I very embarrassing just now..."

On the way back, Miss Black Rabbit, who had not yet recovered from the incident at the "Shengjian Center", asked as if talking to herself.

"It's not that serious."

Although he said she was a stupid dog, Xu Shi didn't really care. "I can only say that flattering someone requires skills. I really don't know how to praise her. Just say that she is in good health and spirits... If you insist on doing something you are not sure of, you will make a fool of yourself."

Anyway, this principle is universal - when you compliment a woman, praise her beauty and how well she takes care of herself; when you compliment an old person, praise their health; when you compliment a child, praise them for being cute and smart; when you compliment a man, praise his successful career. As long as it's not an outrageous individual case, you won't make a big mistake.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem. With Mr. Wen's broad mind, he would not get angry because of the wrong character recognition. On the contrary, it seemed that Gu Yi's action turned out to be a clever move. His silly behavior made the other party like him more, and he even took the initiative to extend an olive branch like "teach you how to write".

"Know it."

Miss Black Rabbit sighed, but her tone gradually became sincere, "Your grandfather... is a good man."

Finally, after thinking for a while, she added, "You are one too."

These were words from the bottom of his heart. She had just listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and although she only understood half of what they said, she still understood the core content.

Wen Shengkui really wants to improve the environment of Sin City - this is a rare thing. After all, few people have ever considered this aspect. From the source of "Dragon City", it has been deformed, and it has been governed in a simple and crude way in the form of gangs, from top to bottom.

Maintaining stability by this means is possible, and it can even be said to be very simple, but the lives of ordinary people are not within their consideration.

Not to mention the people of Night City, in their eyes the people of Sin City are always inferior... In this way, Mr. Wen seems like an outlier.

Xu Shi was no exception. He was not just following the lead. He had previously seriously discussed the specific details of the matter with Wen Shengkui. He was not doing it perfunctorily at all. Otherwise, he would have just dealt with it casually. There was no need to go through so much trouble.

This touched Gu Yi, a native of Sin City who had personally experienced the chaos there. If this blueprint could really be realized, then the things that happened to her and her mother would definitely become less and less, right?

"What do you mean by considered? I am a good person."

Xu Shi was very dissatisfied with her prefix and reached out to pull her face.

"Be content, huh."

Miss Black Rabbit teased on her face but couldn't hide her happiness. She liked Xu Shi even more. No, she already liked him a lot. This was the icing on the cake, right?

And she also boldly set a new goal, "I want to learn calligraphy!"

"Grandpa and grandma are so happy, they'll reward you with your favorite food... Well, if you really want to do that, then study hard. I'll give you Ning Wei's contact information later, and you can go by yourself if you want."

Xu Shi did not object, and even gave an additional reminder, "Be smart, the old man can teach you more than just calligraphy."

This is true.

Considering his age and status, grandpa is definitely a very good teacher. In terms of small things, he teaches her the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting; in terms of big things, he teaches her life experience, interpersonal relationships and speaking skills, all of which are what Miss Black Rabbit lacks. Anyway, he can teach her no less than she can.

She really couldn't stay like this for the rest of her life, speaking eloquently and powerfully only on the Internet and in front of herself, but shrinking like a quail in front of outsiders...

Now that there is such an opportunity in front of us, how many people would beg for it?

"Yeah, I know!"

Gu Yi also cherished this opportunity and nodded seriously and vigorously, "Besides, in this way, do I count as your grandfather's student?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Xu Shi didn’t understand what she wanted to express. If not a student, what else could you be?

"Then if seniority is the basis, I will be your elder from now on, right, Xu Bastard?"

After getting off the bus and standing at the door, Miss Black Rabbit counted on her fingers, "You are his grandson, and I am his student, so... I am a generation older than you!"

Just based on this point, even if she is still a little afraid of Mr. Wen's aura, she has to give it a try!

"Hey, call me auntie!"

Gu Yi was very proud. She put her hands on her waist and looked up at Xu Shi. "Or how should I say it? Call me uncle-master?"

"..."

Xu Shi didn't say anything, but silently scanned his iris and opened the door.

Then as soon as he entered, he pressed the little black rabbit onto the sofa and spanked her angrily.

"Are you going to rebel?"

Is this the only thing on your mind?

you are hopeless!

"I'll let your uncle be my master! I'll let your aunt be my master!"

Director Xu was so angry at her short-sightedness that he trembled, "Call me daddy! A hundred times, a hundred times!"

Poor Gu Yi was no match for him. He was beaten so hard that he screamed in pain. In the end, he had no choice but to surrender and called "Dad" reluctantly several times before being let go by Xu Shi in humiliation.

Well, the butt that had been well managed couldn't sit still anymore, so Miss Black Rabbit had to turn around and kneel down on the seat. Now she really became a little puppy...

……

Within a few days, an invitation letter from "Dragon City" was placed on Xu Shi's desk, inviting him to go to Sin City for a chat, saying that there was something to discuss.

Still here.

This was pretty much in line with what he had expected. Long Tianding's talk to Wen Shengkui, or whoever he was talking to, was not really about doing anything beyond his control. It was just a preliminary preparation.

The matters of the sixth and seventh districts could not be avoided, and in the end he still had to find himself.

"…Should we try to find a neutral place? Or a remote video chat?"

Seeing this message, Su Lin's first reaction was to worry about the young master's safety. Was she asking him to walk into a tiger's mouth?

"No need. Let the Field Affairs Department send some people to follow us secretly, and then you just go with me."

Xu Shi was not too worried. "If he really wanted to do something, he would have done it a long time ago. There's no need to cause trouble like this."

In the martial arts world, peace is the most valuable thing. A deal breaker is better than anything else. As for assassinations, they are only used when there is really no other choice.

If I really followed Su Lin's suggestion, I would be at a disadvantage in momentum before I even started, and it would make me seem like I was very afraid of Long Tianding, which was totally unnecessary.

"I feel like you haven't been thinking carefully about what you say lately. What's going on?"

He looked at Su Lin with interest, "Where is the thoughtful Director Su from before? If you know, please return her to me."

Faced with such ridicule, Su Lin just rolled her eyes at him.

But she really didn't have to worry about her brain anymore, because the young master was much more thoughtful than she was, so she just had to do what he told her to do.

But in this situation, Su Lin felt that she couldn't calm down recently, especially the desire to prove urgently that "I am the one who cares about the young master the most" became stronger and stronger, just like just now.

But this seems to be a bit counterproductive, and it seems that Xu Shi is not satisfied with it?

Well……

"...I understand. I'll do it now."

Director Su shook his head and sighed silently in his heart.

Soon, the two arrived at the first area.

This place is located in the heart of Sin City, and it feels like the center of the Bagua Formation. Civilians from Sin City do not live here. Everyone inside and outside is filled with Long Tianding's trusted subordinates.

It was the first time for Xu Shi to set foot here, but at first glance he felt somewhat familiar with it. When he thought about it carefully, wasn't it exactly the same as Ding Jun's outfit in the seventh district?

No, he should be learning from Long Tianding. At best, it is a replica. This one is the genuine one.

From this point of view, Chief Ding is really good at handling things. Is he learning from his leader in both big and small matters? This is also a very common way to flatter, or to show loyalty... It is very popular if used well.

"Chairman Xu, welcome, welcome."

Long Tianding personally greeted him in front of the pavilion with a faint smile on his face, "You brought Director Su with you? Please come in."

"I haven't seen you for a while, but I feel like Chairman Xu is even more high-spirited."

After sitting down, we naturally exchanged pleasantries first.

"City Lord Long is not bad. I didn't pay much attention to him in the City Hall before, but now he seems to be a talented person."

Xu Shi returned the smile.

He had hardly had any contact with the other party before, and this was the first time they had formal face-to-face negotiations.

The information obtained from the original work is also limited, but judging from this intersection alone, this statement is not entirely a compliment.

At least he didn't create unnecessary trouble by setting up a threshold as a security weapon. If it were someone with a smaller mindset, he would probably have used this as a way of intimidating others instead of welcoming them in person without any precautions.

This alone can reveal a lot of things. Of course, everyone knows that no one would be stupid enough to attack the opponent with weapons in such a situation, and no one would fall for it.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for the compliment. I am already an old man. I cannot compare to young talents like you and Mr. Xie of "Prism". "

Long Tianding waved his hands. Actually, in terms of age, he was only in his early forties, which was the category of middle-aged people... He was just making fun of himself.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he got straight to the point, "Boss Xu, you should know why I invited you here?"

"City Lord Long might as well make your words more clear."

Xu Shi pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. "You could have invited me here for many reasons."

"...Were you the one behind the Sixth District incident?"

Long Tianding paused after hearing this, and then said, "The two districts of Sin City have been reshuffled, and I had no idea about it beforehand... Isn't it a bit unkind of Mr. Xu to do this?"

"Oh, so City Lord Long is here to question me?"

Xu Shi did not back down. "I only know that Disiger is restless, and the people who ate Spark are planning to attack me again. You and I both know who did the explosion in District 19. If I hadn't reacted in advance and a disaster had really occurred, you would have been the one to be held accountable, and I wouldn't be the only one to be held accountable."
