It's the age of cyber, and you're still a traditional villain?
Chapter 323 Have you fallen in love with being my maid?
Chapter 323 Have you fallen in love with being my maid?
I have to say that Ning Wei came at the right time.
"It's dinner time, do you want to have dinner together?"
After smelling the delicious food smell behind him, Xu Shi politely extended an invitation.
"We're done with the meal. Can Mr. Xu have a chat alone?"
Ning Wei shook his head, obviously not in the mood.
"……OK then."
Xu Shi hesitated and took him to his study. Oh no, it was actually his father's study. Boss Xu himself was not in the habit of being so leisurely and elegant.
Anyway, it’s still a while before dinner, so if you don’t want to eat, just don’t eat. Think about it carefully, since I met Ning Wei until now, I haven’t seen this guy eat. Maybe he really doesn’t need to eat?
"What's so important about being so anxious?"
Looking at the other party's expression, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask... what happened to the person that the master brought back?"
Ning Wei frowned and asked in a lowered voice subconsciously.
Oh, it turned out to be because of this.
Xu Shi felt a little strange. Didn't the old man explain it to him?
Mr. Wen came back early, at least a month and a half ago. He also brought Cheng Gujian back with him. He thought these matters had been resolved long ago.
"...Dong Xu, you also know that no one else can ask about things that I don't want to talk about."
Ning Wei also had a grimace on his face and shook his head helplessly, "Originally I didn't think it was anything, but the injury of the man named Cheng has gradually healed these days, and I always vaguely feel that he is in some danger."
"He doesn't say anything every day. He is always trying to understand the situation in Night Sin City. I always feel that this is not a good person..."
There was worry in his tone, "The master said he wouldn't let me take care of it. How could I really take care of it? That's why I thought of asking you..."
Looking at his constipated face, Xu Shi felt extremely happy.
Should I say it or not, Ning Wei is probably the most miserable person in power among the four major financial groups, right?
Yes, he is the one in power. Wen Shengkui entered a state of retirement a few years ago. Except for showing his face for some necessary things, Ning Wei is basically doing everything else.
Nominally, he has the same secretary level as Su Lin. In fact, everyone knows that there is no difference between him and the chairman of "Quill Pen" - who told him that Xu Shi couldn't hold up the wall with mud, so the old man had to find someone to lean on. Cultivate talented people.
Ning Wei himself is also very loyal and has no objections to his absolute strength.
But delegating power to others, Wen Shengkui's eccentric temper is well known to everyone, and it often makes him very helpless - just like what happened with Cheng Gujian, if he feels there is a problem, he can't ask it, and in the end he has to find Xu Shi Come here.
"Asking me questions is very expensive, Brother Ning."
Xu Shi held back his laughter and said, "Let's do this. If you promise me a condition, I will tell you."
"...As long as it's not too extreme, it's okay."
Ning Wei was also unambiguous and agreed after thinking about it.
"So refreshing?"
Xu Shi was a little disappointed. It was so boring to deal with serious people. He had already thought about how to whet the other person's appetite, but now there was no need for him, blah.
But he was also a person who kept his promise, so he told him the cause and effect of this matter in detail.
"...So is he really SS-level?"
Ning Wei was greatly shocked. He had only made an estimate at first, but he didn't expect it to be true. He also didn't expect that this was the former grand duke of the Hualan Empire. It's no wonder that he always had a feeling of calmness and self-power.
The superior attitude in his heart is not easy to fade away.
But if you think about it carefully, if there is nothing special about the other person, the master may not think so highly of him... Although this person doesn't seem to appreciate it very much. After being here for so long, let alone his attitude has softened. Not even two or three sentences were said.
As for other things, Xu Shi didn't need to say anything, he could connect all the links by himself.
Xu Shi shrugged, is an SS level worth such a fuss?You haven't seen it yet, buddy, there is another one here...or should I say half of it?
The old pope can indeed only be counted as half, because only Xu Ying can control him.
He was worried about this matter - when she was a saint, she could control the old pope as if he were a real person. Now it's hard for her to take care of herself, let alone the same as before, and she has to take care of herself. Just guide slowly.
Therefore, the old pope's corpse, or puppet body, was temporarily put aside. Although Miss Saint must have processed it before, for the sake of safety, Xu Shi still soaked it in formalin.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the scene of "the old pope's corpse will stink" will happen, right?
And we have to think about how to let Xu Ying take it with her reasonably. It can't really be like carrying a doll and walking around with a corpse, right?
How about making a small backpack?Like Tanjiro and Nezuko?It's kind of cute when you think about it.
Or just modify it and make it semi-mechanical?Don’t worry about it getting rotten or smelly…
He was brainstorming here, but Ning Wei had other worries.
"So... when I went to sea, did I use my abilities?"
He gritted his teeth, "Why didn't any of you tell me about this? Master, his body can't..."
"My suggestion is, Brother Ning, try not to lower your posture so low in the future, right?"
Xu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You always act like a superior and a subordinate, and you still want to control grandpa in everything. No wonder he is not willing to tell you."
He knows that the old man is not happy to be pestered like this, even if it is for his own good, but treating patients like this will always make people feel uncomfortable, right?
Not to mention that Wen Shengkui actually raised Ning Wei as his son, otherwise he would not be so concerned about him - this matter is actually very bloody, because in terms of life experience, Ning Wei and Su Lin are actually very similar. , were all born as orphans, and then step by step reached their current position.
So Xu Shi didn't know this person at all before. He had met him many times when he was a child. At that time, this guy had a poker face, and it hasn't changed now.
That's why, now that he's getting acquainted with him, he's willing to call him brother instead of title. In fact, it seems like he's still a junior... I've taken advantage, okay.
As for grandpa’s physical problems...
"You don't have to be so surprised. It's true that grandpa used his abilities. However, this trip of "Snake Ring" and "Prism" can be regarded as finding a way to further improve the power transplantation technology. "
He explained with a smile, "When the new medicine is fully mature, I will definitely give my grandpa the ability to heal himself. I already coaxed him to inject the adaptogen before I came back."
"Is that so?"
Ning Wei was overjoyed, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
As for Xu Shi's advice, he also expressed his acceptance, but this kind of thing cannot be changed overnight. To be honest, he himself has never placed himself in the position of Wen Shengkui's nephew, and subconsciously he also thinks that He is just a domestic servant.
"Are you relieved?"
Xu Shi couldn't help laughing, "When you feel relieved, let's have a meal together first. I will contact you at any time if you need anything."
"it is good."
Now Ning Wei has no reason to refuse.
In fact, Ning Wei is really not an outsider. Su Lin has a lot of work contacts with him, while Gu Yi goes to Mr. Wen every two days. Of course, he has become familiar with this unsmiling elder brother.So everyone wouldn't mind him joining this reception party and having extra pairs of chopsticks.
Just looking at Ning Wei eating at the dinner table, Xu Shi couldn't help but be surprised.
Oh, you really eat it?Oh no, it turns out you really need to eat?
I thought you were like the protagonists in those novels. When you get busy, you go for hundreds of chapters without eating, drinking, or even changing clothes.
happy.
"Brother Laoning will take care of grandpa."
Boss Xu was polite and toasted him.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Xu? It's his job."
Ning Wei was very humble, "It's what I should do to take care of you."
"Hey, I took care of the old man while you were away, okay?"
Gu Yi expressed dissatisfaction, how could you have other dogs in your eyes?
Not even if this is a man.
The little puppy thought sourly.
"I will burn incense if you don't lead grandpa astray."
Xu Shi said he was disgusted, but he clinked glasses with her.
"I still don't know who will take whom."
Miss Black Rabbit snorted angrily.
No matter how she felt, Xu Shi took advantage of the dinner to tell Ning Wei about the overseas plan that everyone discussed on the return trip - after all, it was another consortium. What should be said should be said. In this kind of matter, , it’s always better for everyone to work together.
"Of course I will give my full support. If there is anything you need "Quill Pen" to do, just tell me. "
Ning Wei had no objection to this. Since Wen Shengkui came back early, he had already seen the rewards of going to sea.
"There is really something you need to do."
Xu Shi smiled, "Remember that you had to agree to a request of mine just now, right?"
"Speaking of which, you're not afraid that I'll take the opportunity to make things difficult for you. You just agreed as you said you would."
He didn't forget to joke.
"Dr. Xu, this is a joke."
Ning Wei raised the corner of his mouth for a rare moment.
After all, he still knew what Xu Shi's naughty temper was, and he wasn't too unreasonable. Besides, Cheng Gujian's matter was not a secret after all. Even if he wanted to make things difficult for him, it was harmless.
Not to mention that there is nothing worthy of his plot - he is not short of money, power and so on. If Wen Shengkui is really willing, he will not refuse even a word.
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to himself?What a joke.
But he didn't expect that Xu Shi really fell in love with him.
"My request is very simple. I hope that the business scope of "Quill Pen" will be changed a little in the future. "
He said unhurriedly.
"...be specific?"
"That's right. If an alliance system is to be established in the future, there will definitely be no shortage of cultural exchanges between them."
Xu Shi said seriously, "Even now, we need such a channel with the Hualan Empire... So far, this system has not been established. It relies more on sharing and communication between the two parties."
This is also thanks to the fact that there are no language problems between the two regions, but who can say that there will not be any in the future?This is something that cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, institutions similar to schools, especially institutions of higher learning, are necessary.
One thing that is special about Night Sin City is that the education system has always been relatively chaotic - some people choose to use computers to receive knowledge, while some people prefer traditional education methods. Of course, there are also some people who are ignorant but have no skills but can do it without any knowledge. Those who are self-taught, such as Gu Yi.
What’s interesting is that the heirs of these consortiums usually choose the latter. The reason is also very simple. Once things like brain computers are manipulated, it will be very troublesome. Several major consortiums have been wary of each other in the past.
But no matter what, the academic essence of "Quill Pen" will not change.
"……I understand."
Ning Wei is a smart man, and he knew what to do as soon as Xu Shi said, "It just so happens that there are a lot of vacant places in Sin City that have not yet been built. I will collect them when the time comes and build these institutions of learning specifically for exchanges as soon as possible."
"Including residents of the two cities, if there are people who want to engage in this career, "Quill Pen" will also help to a certain extent. "
"That's the best."
Xu Shi was very satisfied with this. In the final analysis, cultivating these diplomatic talents was the most important thing compared to the illusory alliance.
As long as preparations are made in advance, Night Sin City will be built into a cultural and technological transfer station between regions. In this way, no matter the size of the alliance, their status as a pioneer will not be easily shaken.
"I can rest assured that Brother Ning will do things, but you need some help for this kind of thing."
Xu Shi added, "Let Miss Qin come with you. She is from the Hualan Empire and can provide you with a lot of information."
"As well as documents and materials from various regions...don't forget to archive them."
He spoke in general terms mainly because he is not an expert in this field, but as long as he makes the beginning and leaves the rest to professionals, he will always be able to do better and better.
"I can help too."
Xia Keyan volunteered. She had been doing this when she went to sea, so she naturally had a lot of experience.
The main thing is that she can't just stay at home all the time... She used to have to do it when she was sick, but now she hopes to find something to do, and can't just be a mascot all the time... Only come to me for prophecies?That won't work.
"Then there's Miss Raucha."
Ning Wei did not refuse. On the one hand, he knew the true identity of this little girl. In his opinion, it was overkill for a dignified "refraction" boss to do this.
Secondly, it was to reassure Xu Shi that he wouldn't say anything, but he still had to have his confidants in the team.
In contrast, Qin Yiyan was a little confused, "Me?"
"Yes, you."
Xu Shi smiled slyly, "Or...are you used to being my maid? It's not impossible to stay if you want."
As soon as these words came out, the red-haired silly girl immediately made a decision.
"I go!"
