Let's be reasonable.

Miss Su Lin, who received elite butler training, is indeed a person who can't sit still. She has never taken a single day off in all the years she has served the Xu family.

Having nothing to do is the real torture for her—though she isn’t really idle.

Staying at home allows me to do chores like cleaning and cooking, and also to observe Lin Wenhua's movements as Xu Shi had instructed.

But all these things combined won't take her much time; the torment will still continue.

Do you really think she loves playing video games? It's just a way for her to distract herself.

However, what bothered her even more was that Xu Shi had actually chosen Ye Shanshan as his secretary... Although she knew this was part of the young master's plan, some things couldn't be fully accepted just by understanding them.

But if we're talking about who reacted the most at this moment, it has to be Miss Black Rabbit, who was unexpectedly electrocuted.

"What does this have to do with me? Am I wrong for trying to help Sister Su?"

"Xu Shi, don't push your luck! You bastard! You scum! I... (using polite language)!"

"...Even if I'm 99% wrong, don't you have at least 1% wrong?"

Mr. Xu, with his thick skin, said, "Alright, alright, three boxes of strawberry lollipops?"

"Dream on! Five boxes!"

"walk slowly."

Xu Shi shrugged, not bothering to bargain with her.

It's clear that Miss Black Rabbit is quite easy to coax, or perhaps she's simply gotten used to being treated this way by Xu Shi.

"Let's get down to business."

Xu Shi immediately placed an order online, then sat down on the sofa and said seriously, "I haven't been paying much attention to it these past few days... How's Lin Wenhua doing?"

"Nothing's happening."

Su Lin quickly composed herself and said awkwardly, "He hasn't shown up much since the last incident, and there's been no word from him at the company either."

Xu Shi nodded silently, recalling that he seemed to have declined the invitations he had sent out, and immediately concluded that the old man was planning something big.

But we don't need to worry about that for now; the most important thing right now is the press conference.

Shen He, Xie Qingyan, Zui Cheng... there are many eyes watching, and none of them can be let go.

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, and everything was arranged in advance, so he just had to wait for the show to begin.

Miss Su Lin finally received a very important task, which made her feel much better.

However, she still has one problem.

"If I'm not by your side then, young master... who are you planning to bring as your female companion to the banquet?"

This is an unwritten rule in the upper-class circles of Night City: when attending such banquets and parties, it doesn't matter to the woman, but the man must be accompanied by a woman; otherwise, it will be considered a serious breach of etiquette.

But after listening around, Su Lin didn't seem to hear Xu Shi mention this matter.

In the past, she would have taken on this position, taking on the role of bodyguard as well... But this time she was busy with a mission and couldn't get away, so she couldn't help but be curious.

"Oh, your female companion..."

Xu Shi blinked, then pointed to the side, "Then let's go with her."

"……Why?"

Hearing him say that, Gu Yi, who had been sulking just moments before, was momentarily stunned and then at a loss for words, "...Me?"

"Yeah, you'll come with me then, since you're pretty free anyway."

Xu Shi nodded.

That's right.

Su Lin and Xia Wuyou both had missions to complete, so Jiang Chengcheng might have been a better fit, given her prior training in this area.

Unfortunately, she is currently undergoing psychological therapy, so after much consideration, she had no choice but to let the little rabbit fill in.

"I...I can't do it..."

Miss Black Rabbit waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't know how to deal with people like you... I have no experience."

There's a first time for everything.

Xu Shi spread his hands and said, "Just stay by my side and don't talk too much."

"Then... shall I give it a try?"

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Gu Yi had no choice but to agree.

"OK."

Xu Shi nodded, "Just have your sister Su help you choose a dress, and then give you some extra lessons."

"oh……"

...

This process won't take long, just a few hours.

The main advantage is that buying clothes is very convenient. You can select styles directly from a projector at home, and even custom-made items can be delivered quickly.

Plus, Su Lin is a great stylist, and she got her hair and makeup done in no time.

When Xu Shi saw her again, Gu Yi had completely changed.

—A silver-blue silk dress with a shallow V-neck at the back, her hair styled in a light golden updo, and her makeup was very light, giving her a touch of charm amidst her innocence.

"Is this...is this still me...?"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Miss Black Rabbit herself had some doubts. Wearing high heels, she could barely walk.

But undeniably, it looks really good... a hundred times better than its previous messy appearance.

"Isn't this pretty good?"

Xu Shi also clicked his tongue in admiration, saying, "You have to trust your sister Su's judgment."

"Aren't you sure you won't embarrass me?"

Gu Yi was quite happy to be praised like that, but she still couldn't help but confirm it.

"To be honest, there might be a little."

Xu Shi thought for a moment, then walked up to her, removed the "red ant" from her neck, and replaced it with a crystal necklace.

"See, that way it won't happen."

……Why?

Miss Black Rabbit was still in a daze, wondering what he had just done.
