Lin Wenhua's attitude took everyone present by surprise.

At least they didn't expect him to compromise so quickly, and they were even the first to express their agreement with Xu Shi's attitude.

Are you really not going to try to negotiate any further?

But now was not the time to dwell on such things. Seeing Lin Wenhua's statement, the others no longer hesitated and raised their hands.

"It seems everyone agrees."

Xu Shi clapped his hands with a slight smile, "Then let's welcome again the new head of the technical department, Ms. Gu Yi."

As he spoke, he pulled Gu Yi to his side, putting on a very intimate appearance.

Miss Black Rabbit was still bewildered, and a stiff smile appeared on her face as she looked at herself helplessly.

Seeing this, the others also offered their lukewarm congratulations.

"Thank you so much for your support, Uncle Lin."

Amidst the applause, Xu Shi turned to look at Lin Wenhua.

"Since Chairman Xu is so dedicated to the group, of course I will give him my full support."

Lin Wenhua said calmly, "If your father could see this, he would surely be very pleased."

"Sparrows eat it."

Xu Shi responded and then ignored him, instead greeting Jiang Fengshan, who was looking distracted, "Manager Jiang, you're recovering quickly."

"...Ah, yes, yes."

Jiang Fengshan snapped out of his daze and quickly smiled apologetically, "Medical technology is very advanced nowadays."

"That's true, you're getting older, you need to take care of your health."

Xu Shi nodded. "Otherwise, what if one day... Don't blame me for being blunt, but what would happen to the company without you, right?"

He gave him a meaningful look, then got up and left.

...

"Why...?"

Even after leaving the company and sitting in Xu Shi's car, Gu Yi was still feeling dizzy.

"Why what?"

Xu Shiming asked the question knowing the answer already.

"It's you... Why did you send me here to do this, head of the technical department?"

Miss Black Rabbit shook her head, her words filled with disbelief.

When that bastard Xu told her to attend the meeting, her first reaction was that this guy was going to humiliate her to the core in front of everyone.

After all, in her opinion, this was very much in line with Xu Shi's usual style... She was worried about it for several days.

But things turned out this way; it was a completely unexpected turn of events.

So, I've become one of the top executives of a top conglomerate?

Although the technical department may not be as prestigious, it is still a level that ordinary people can never reach in their entire lives.

At least she had never had such a dream—if someone had told her something like that two weeks ago, she probably would have laughed at that person for a whole day.

This made Gu Yi feel as if she were walking on cotton, a kind of unreal feeling.

"As I said, ability is what I value."

Xu Shi chuckled and said, "And I have to admit, you are the most skilled hacker I have ever seen."

Not to mention he's an "Ascended" hacker with specialized superpowers.

Gu Yi's abilities had naturally been passed down to him long ago, and were exactly the same as those in the original work.

"Data supercomputing" is specifically manifested in extraordinary learning abilities in information technology, as well as a high degree of personal focus.

In other words, a born hacker genius.

In fact, she had already awakened her superpowers several years ago; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to manipulate most of the businesses in Night City all by herself.

However, she herself was unaware of this, and coupled with the pursuit by the investigation bureau, her abilities grew relatively slowly.

But for now, it's more than enough.

If I remember correctly, after undergoing a "re-upgrade" in the middle of the story, she was able to fight against more than a dozen AI programs with extremely high computing power all by herself.

"But... are you really comfortable entrusting this kind of thing to me?"

Miss Black Rabbit blinked. "Aren't you afraid I'll do something bad behind your back?"

"I believe you won't do that."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi's playful expression vanished, replaced by a serious tone, "Or do you really want to spend your whole life as a wanted criminal, stuck in the gutter?"

...

Gu Yi fell silent upon hearing this; these words truly resonated with her.

The previous days were quite exciting, but constantly hiding from the police investigation bureau wasn't a long-term solution.

She had to be careful in everything she did, and everyone seemed like an undercover officer... That's how she developed her fear of crowds.

She suddenly realized something—Xu Shi seemed to have never mentioned her identity as "Black Rabbit" to anyone else.

Compared to the wanted criminal who can't see the light of day online, the name Gu Yi is surprisingly clean.

If it's just a hacker attack... as he said before, with the financial backers, it's not a problem.

"you……"

Thinking about it this way, and looking at Xu Shishi again, her feelings suddenly became complicated.

Xu Shi simply squinted his eyes, smiled, and nodded.

Just as you thought.

"Well... since you put it that way... okay."

After hesitating for a short while, Miss Black Rabbit stammered, "I'll try my best... not to cause you any trouble."

I'm glad you think that way.

Xu Shixin hooked his finger around her collar, leaned closer and grinned mischievously, "Besides, if you really want to cause trouble, don't you think I can handle you?"

The moment she let go, a slight electric current made Gu Yi shudder.

"...You're using such vulgar language! I'll fight you to the death!"
