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

As she spoke, she also showed Xu Shi the current situation of Yinsong Island.

At first glance, Xu Shi found that the place was completely different from before he left. The electricity system had been fully popularized, and taking advantage of this trend, the residents of the island also collectively renovated their homes. They were no longer scattered cabins, but had been replaced by more neat townhouses, with a sense of gradually moving towards industrialization.

The factory is built around the back mountain area where the signal tower was built before. As she said, it is really small in scale and can only be compared to a third-rate enterprise at most in Night Sin City.

But Yinsong Island is sparsely populated, and these alone are enough to supply the entire island's residents. With the help of Pan Cheng, those who stayed on Yinsong Island also found many new mineral veins, which solved the problem of raw materials very well.

As for some rare materials, such as liquid "rust mist" ore, it is not too difficult to get them through the island owner Pan Cheng and Miss Xiaomei's connections in the empire, which is enough to support the operation of the assembly line.

"There have also been improvements to the network system. I asked Adjutant Yu to take a boat with us and return to Night Sin City along our previous route. This is a good opportunity to repair and maintain the temporary base station that we placed at sea."

Jiang Chengcheng continued, "The signal is now very stable, including the radiation to the main city. You should be able to feel it?"

Xu Shi nodded slightly. She had told him about this before, and their communication equipment was indeed more stable as she said.

No wonder there was only one ship of her own in the port this time, the others were all improved silver pine ships - there were only two ships in total and one had to be returned, so she certainly wouldn't dispatch another one out of thin air just for this reason.

"I thought you must also lay signal towers in the main city, or even the entire Hualan Empire, so I made preparations in advance."

The eldest lady's tone was warm and gentle, "As for the specific popularization... I think it's not the right time yet. What do you think?"

"Madam, you are thoughtful."

Xu Shi smiled and sighed, pretending to recite a line, but he was actually very pleased in his heart.

I can only say that she is very considerate, right? I haven't deliberately discussed or explained many things to her, but she always agrees with my own ideas tacitly.

It seems that Xia Wuyou is not the only good wife who can help him. If she really wants to learn more from her, Xia Xiaomao still needs to learn more.

Sometimes I even felt like I was being cared for by my elders - it was not that great, the supplies that were delivered were not just "some" but almost doubled.

Are two boats enough? Thank you, Chengcheng, Chengcheng is so nice.

This feeling was further heightened when he saw the newly produced weapons - after opening the boxes, he found that the quality was in no way inferior to those produced locally in Night Sin City, and there were even some minor improvements, such as "Tele-Shock" and "Fire Snake". It was no exaggeration to say that they were a new generation of products.

But what's interesting is that the products promised to Cheng Gujian before have not been improved at all, and there is even a hint of cutting corners... Obviously, Jiang Chengcheng and Xu Shi are in sync on this point. Knowing that he will use this good brother as a target, he has simply put some eye drops on him from now on...

"That's not very authentic."

Xu Shi couldn't help but tease when he saw this.

Of course, it was just a joke. What level is Jiang Chengcheng at? At least people who are exposed to these new things for the first time can't tell the difference at all, so they won't really take out a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron to make people suspicious and criticized.

The eldest lady smiled happily, she knew that her man was happy because this guy was not a real person.

"That's about it, is there anything else you want to see?"

"No, if I really want to say anything, it's just to praise Madam for her hard work."

Xu Shi shook his head with satisfaction, and then hugged her tightly with some emotion.

To be honest, he is actually a little touched now - some people do not deny that they have bad human nature, but they have hearts after all, and naturally know how much Jiang Chengcheng has paid for these things during this period of time.

Building factories, arranging manpower, including what she had discussed with Pan Cheng before, teaching the indigenous people of Yinsong Island the basic industrial knowledge and skills... This does not count the deeper level of education. The industrialization of Yinsong Island has been so smooth, and her efforts are indispensable.

Even if she didn't do everything herself, she had to work around the clock these days... When Xu Shi was away, she would be the leader of everyone left behind, which was something Xia Xiaomao was not good at.

It seems a bit of a lack of vocabulary to always say that she is thoughtful, but this word really suits her.

She never said whether she was tired or not. Have you seen her mention a single word from the beginning till now?

She has always held the idea that "this is what I should do". For Xu Shi, she felt it was worth it even if she had to work as hard as moving mountains and filling the sea. Even if the help she provided in the end was only the size of a needle tip, it was a very happy thing for her.

Well, maybe not? If she could only help a little, she would probably just feel sorry for herself and think that she hadn't done enough.

"Thank you, Chengcheng."

Xu Shi expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"Why are you thanking me? This is what I should do..."

Jiang Chengcheng was just as expected, just a little shy, with no boastful reaction at all.

"I was just thinking, since Arlene is not here, should I fill in the gap and share more of your burdens like she did?"

At first glance, these words sounded like she was trying to steal someone's house, but in fact, she had no such intention at all. Instead, she sincerely wanted to do more for the man in front of her, to whom she had given her body and soul.

Otherwise, this energy would have been used for jealousy, but she didn't.

"...You don't need to compare yourself with others. You have done very well."

Xu Shi said sincerely that he didn't like to classify the girls around him into different levels, you are all my stab wounds.

"Hey, what about me?"

Xie Qingyan couldn't bear to see the two of them being so affectionate in public, so he asked out of jealousy.

"You?...You did pretty well too, huh."

Xu Shi's mind was on the eldest lady, and his answers were visibly perfunctory.

This made the bitch a little unhappy. Although she knew that asking this question at this time was just asking for trouble, she just felt uncomfortable...

"Oh."

So she just responded and walked out of the warehouse very dejectedly.

"Hey? Madam Xie, why did you come out first?"

Miss Xiaomei was guarding the door and was a little surprised to see her alone. "Where are Mr. Xu and Madam Jiang?"

"I'm still looking at something inside."

Xie Qingyan replied indifferently.

"Oh."

Miss Mei nodded, noticing her bad mood, "What's wrong with you?"

"…I'm fine. I'm fine."

Of course the bitch wouldn't tell her her true feelings, so she just said it perfunctorily.

He originally wanted to find the little curly-haired guy to vent his anger, but when he turned around, he was not there - someone had to keep an eye on the Maomao Sect's affairs, and Ye Shanshan and Shen Qin were in charge these days.

So annoying!

"After all, I am a patient now, isn't it your responsibility to take better care of me..."

Thinking of this, Xie Qingyan inexplicably felt some emotions unique to little girls, and she kept mumbling to herself.

"Mrs. Xie, what did you say?" Miss Xiaomei didn't hear clearly.

"……nothing."

Seeing her like this, Xiaomei didn't ask any more questions. She thought to herself, "Mrs. Xie seems to have always been like this? When we were on the island, I felt that she was a little out of tune with the others... Why is it that after so much time, I always feel that this feeling is getting stronger and stronger?"

Xie Qingyan was outside sulking for a long time before Xu Shi and Jiang Chengcheng came out in a sweet manner.

"What are you doing? It feels like someone owes you money."

Seeing this, Xu Shi smiled and said, "Don't be unbalanced. We still have to go to the palace to treat you later, right?"

"Who's unbalanced? That's about it."

The bitch was just being stubborn and refused to admit it.

"Alright alright."

Xu Shi saw through it but didn't say anything. He just continued to instruct, "Sorry to bother you, Miss Xiaomei. Please pack up the things and ship some samples over later."

"okay."

"You're going to the palace?"

Jiang Chengcheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I heard about it, it's the little queen, right?"

"What little queen...Okay, okay, if you say it is true, then it is true. No more quibbling."

Xu Shi also wanted to be stubborn, but when he saw that the other party obviously knew everything, he agreed.

"That's right, why are you hiding it?"

Jiang Chengcheng laughed dumbly, "But I'm also a little curious... Should I go with you?"

Chapter 276 Curious Baby Jiang Chengcheng

2023-09-26

Jiang Chengcheng was truly curious. Although she had expected that Xu Shi would inevitably attack Dongfang Xiao, she was still not very clear about the details. When she asked Xie Qingyan, he refused to tell her and was evasive and hesitant, which made her want to go and see what was going on.

She is the queen after all. It must be difficult to conquer her, right?

Of course, continuing to stay with Xu Shi is also a very important factor. Although it is her turn tonight according to the shift schedule, the eldest lady can't wait that long. She wishes to be with Xu Shi all the time.

Urgent, urgent, urgent. It’s so urgent.

Xu Shi naturally would not refuse such a beautiful woman who came to him on her own initiative, not to mention that a short separation is better than a new marriage... Such a virtuous wife, shouldn’t he be rewarded well?

The only one who held an opposing opinion was of course Xie Qingyan. To be honest, even though there was a little queen standing in the way, this was one of the few times she could be alone with Xu Shi recently... You guys are still not serious if you want to take away even this little time, huh? !

But unfortunately, the opposition was ineffective. What else could we do? The disease could not be cured?

The important thing is to eliminate the spiritual erosion of the sea god as soon as possible and restore to the previous state. Just being angry will not solve any problems.

However, she was also very stubborn and did not ride in the same car with Xu Shi and the others. This was Chairman Xie's last stubbornness.

"By the way, are you deliberately ignoring her?"

Xie Qingyan is actually very easy to understand now, so Jiang Chengcheng, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Weren't you two still very close when you just came back from defeating the Sea God? Why do I feel something is wrong now?"

She thought to herself that Xie Qingyan was different from them, so it was normal for him to have a little temper occasionally - but you have been through life and death together, is this the legendary way of being able to share adversity but not wealth?

"I'm not like I don't have you, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Shi didn't think it was his fault. "It all comes down to her complications. Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this."

"complication?"

This was the first time Xie Qingyan had a seizure. No, the seizure happened when he just left Yinsong Island and came to the main city of the empire. Jiang Chengcheng didn’t know much about it, so she became more curious after hearing what he said.

Xu Shi did not hide anything from her and told her the general story.

“…Is that so?”
