"So, you bastard Xu, why didn't you take me with you?!"

When Xu Shi got home, he saw Gu Yi rolling around on the sofa, just like a three-year-old child whose parents hadn't bought him any toys.

Miss Black Rabbit is furious.

Although the fleet was only completed in the last few days, the selection of personnel for the voyage began much earlier.

Upon hearing the news, she even went to the registration office to fill out a form, just to appear fair, so that people wouldn't say that Supervisor Gu got in through connections—no, it's more accurate to say that she might have been the one getting in through connections.

result.

"You dare put an X on my application form?!"

The puppy started ramming into him, yelling, "You heartless bastard, you have no shame!"

"Stop fooling around."

Xu Shi sighed and touched her forehead. "This is a very serious matter. Your physical condition is too poor, and your ability is not a necessity, so of course you don't meet the requirements."

That's true.

He likened this trip to Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean, or the Age of Exploration's efforts to establish colonies, rather than a family outing hand in hand, so of course he couldn't bring everyone along.

Not to mention the countless dangers along the way, this was done for safety reasons.

"And then you took her with you?"

This explanation clearly did not satisfy Miss Black Rabbit, who looked at Xia Ke'an, who was sitting at the dining table, holding a can of milk in her hands and drinking it, with a questioning expression.

This little guy is in great physical condition, right?

"But her skills are a necessity."

Xu Shi sighed. Although he knew the general course, there were still too many unknowns. The old aunt was indispensable, as had been agreed upon long ago.

Not to mention that she was one of the parties involved in the "Tianli" incident; based on that alone, we can't leave her out.

"Pah, those are all excuses!"

Gu Yi persisted, "I've known it for a long time, you just like younger ones!"

Waaah, I'm actually considered small... but that's the problem. She realized that she wasn't exactly small, but she wasn't as big as the really big ones either. She was stuck in that situation.

Be content.

The white-haired loli, having gotten the better deal, still acted innocent, saying, "You think going to sea is great? The weather at sea is terrible, and I have to undergo some kind of superpower transplant surgery for certain people... hehehe."

"You're kidding me!"

Gu Yi immediately recognized that the face was being thrown at her, which made her even more furious.

The little black rabbit used the ramming attack again!

But nothing happened.

"Alright, alright, Xu Shi had his reasons for asking you to stay."

Xia Wuyou hugged her in time and comforted her like an elder sister, "Think of the worst. If something happens, we'll definitely need those of you who stayed in the city to cover for us, right?"

"oh……"

Miss Black Rabbit was quite obedient to her, and upon hearing this, she gradually calmed down.

But she quickly realized, "Wait a minute, aren't you going to go with him too? Anyone can say nice things."

Help! A family of three is ganging up on me!

Xia Xiaomao turned her head away guiltily, but still couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She also had her own selfish reasons; one less person meant more time alone with Xu Shi.

Interestingly, exploring the truth behind the "Heavenly Principle" incident should have been a serious and cruel matter, but being with Xu Shi... made it seem much easier and put her at ease.

"I'll reiterate, this is not a trip for fun."

Seeing them making a ruckus, Xu Shi was both amused and exasperated. He tapped the table and said, "Wu You is right. There's something important I need you to do here."

"Going to sea is not a one-off deal; the most important thing is to establish a stable shipping route."

He explained earnestly, "Setting up signal stations and ensuring stable monitoring are no small matters. I won't feel at ease if I don't have you maintaining stability in the rear."

"real?"

Gu Yi was skeptical.

"Of course it's true! I'll take you with me once the route is completely stable. Wouldn't that feel even more rewarding?"

Xu Shi patiently and skillfully guided him.

"...Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

The little black rabbit listened to him the most, and understood that the other party was not deliberately ignoring her.

But she still wanted to complain, "You all went out to play, leaving me to watch the house all by myself..."

"Who said that?"

Xu Shi retorted, "It's definitely not just you; your sister Su is staying too."

"?"

Su Lin, who had just entered, overheard everything. "What? Young Master... you want me to stay?"

Not only was she surprised, but the others hadn't expected this at all. They were all certain that Su Lin would come along, but you suddenly told her to stay behind?

"Why?!"

Director Su issued a heartbroken cry.

"...The company needs someone to manage it, doesn't it?"

Xu Shi shook his head and pointed to Gu Yi beside him, "You don't expect me to let her manage this, do you? Only you are good at this kind of thing."

"You can't say it like that, can you?"

Su Lin thought for a moment and retorted, "I just came back from 'Prism,' but I heard that Secretary Ye is also going with Xie Qingyan, so we can totally go too..."

"No, you can't."

Xu Shi looked regretful. "Can 'Prism' be the same as us? It's all your young master's fault for being incompetent; besides you, he can't find any other backbone to manage the company."

This is true. Although the "Snake Ring" is united now, it is in a period of transition – the restless old guys have all gone rich, and the ones left behind are only so-so.

There are quite a few promising newcomers, but they still need to be trained and are not ready to take on important responsibilities in a short time. The only one left is Su Lin, a management talent who once carried Xu Shi through heavy burdens and has extremely strong resilience and skill. It has to be her.
