Tsk tsk, what a good grandson!
No wonder he has the bloodline of the Wen family.
Wen Shengkui genuinely liked his eldest grandson's ruthless and cold-blooded nature. He seemed carefree, but in reality, he probably considered everything. Wen Shengkui didn't need to worry about him suffering setbacks due to excessive stubbornness. This kid had definitely already figured out how to deal with Long Tianding...
But despite liking it, he was still fuming on the surface, "There are no eternal allies... You mean that one day, you might join forces with others to deal with this old man, for some reason?"
"We are not allies."
Xu Shi said solemnly, "We are family."
...
"...Who is your family?"
Wen Shengkui paused, denying it verbally, but his smile was completely undisguised. "Don't try to talk your way out of this. I'm not buying it."
"Yes, yes, Grandpa's words of admonition were absolutely right."
Xu Shi readily agreed, like a sly mule, "I have some connections in Sin City. If you're going to cooperate with 'Dragon City,' I can offer my assistance."
"Do I need you to fawn over me?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him, "But since you're so sincere... I'll reluctantly accept it."
Xu Shi was secretly laughing his head off.
It can only be said that although the tsundere has been phased out of the meta, the tsundere old man will not be phased out. He is already quite old, so it is completely understandable that he is still stuck in the previous version.
Gu Yi listened quietly to the side, appearing quite elegant on the surface, but her mind was actually a complete mess.
She found the conversation between the grandfather and grandson quite interesting, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it meant. There were so many twists and turns in their conversations... In any case, she couldn't keep up with their pace at all.
So, Xu bastard, why did you bring me here? Wouldn't it be better to spend this time playing games and completing quests?
All she could do seemed to be listen quietly; it was always better not to say anything, right?
Then I'd occasionally pick up the teacup and take a sip. It was quite delicious. What was this? Oh, tea. I'll take another sip…
But as the grandfather and grandson chatted, the conversation inevitably turned to her.
"It seems that your Manager Gu is quite introverted?"
Wen Shengkui glanced at the little black rabbit that mechanically drank tea, his expression showing a hint of suspicion.
He's usually good at judging people. He felt this young lady probably wasn't from a wealthy family, but why was she acting so reserved?
The old man was completely unaware of his own Conqueror's Haki.
"She's alright. She's not usually like this; she's quite lively."
Xu smiled and said, "However, the child is still young, so I brought her to visit you to broaden her horizons and experience the cultural atmosphere surrounding 'quill pens.'"
As he spoke, he patted Gu Yi, signaling her to flatter her grandfather.
"...Ahhh, yes, yes."
Miss Black Rabbit recovered her senses and hurriedly replied, knowing that she couldn't avoid this ordeal.
Fortunately, she understood what Xu Shi meant. She could handle the assigned essay topic. As for praising someone, that was easy.
But how should I praise her...?
Gu Yi quickly looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the calligraphy hanging on the wall behind the desk.
Judging from the signature, it was written by the old man himself, and then framed and hung up.
"I... I've always been very interested in literature..."
Miss Black Rabbit organized her thoughts, cleared her throat, and began, "Take this calligraphy for example, it's... it's very good."
"Oh? What's so good about it?"
The flattery seemed to have hit the mark, and Wen Shengkui followed up with an interested question.
"It's...it's really good...the strokes are vigorous and powerful? The artistic conception is profound?"
Gu Yi racked her brains for relevant words, "This should be... a pan-fried dumpling center? Ah, is Chairman Wen going to enter the catering industry...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Shi grabbed her and gave her a sharp rap on the head.
"That's called having a pure heart!"
Xu Shiren was numb, so he lowered his voice and explained.
Good grief, couldn't you have chosen something you're good at? Why did you have to challenge yourself at this time?
Why don't you just say it's a buffet restaurant?
The old man was also embarrassed. It was the first time that the 75-year-old gentleman had been so flustered by the 21-year-old Miss Gu Yi that he didn't know how to respond.
Finally, Xu Shi regained his composure and smoothed things over, saying, "Don't take it to heart, Grandpa. This child is from Sin City; it's normal that she can't recognize cursive script. That's why I support your cooperation with 'Dragon City,' right?"
"...Haha, I didn't blame her."
Wen Shengkui laughed upon hearing this, "You're right. Judging from this one example, the problems in Sin City are indeed urgent."
"But this little girl is quite interesting. If you really want to learn these things, you can come here often in the future, and I'll teach you how to write."
"oh……"
Gu Yi replied with her head down, her eyes seemingly searching for a comfortable place to crawl into.
"Then thank you very much. Hurry up and say thank you to Chairman Wen!"
Xu Shi chuckled and dropped the subject. He could get away with showing weakness once, but showing it too often would really make people dislike him...
"Speaking of which, I don't recall seeing Miss He Er when I arrived today?"
He changed the subject, "I was quite surprised to see her here last time."
"What's so surprising? You don't even know this much?"
Wen Shengkui snorted, "That child has been studying here for a long time now, quite a few years. You didn't know that, which only shows that you don't care about your grandfather at all. Family? Give me a break."
How would I know that... Xu Shi was embarrassed, but he really hadn't paid attention to these things before, and the original work wouldn't have written such trivial details.
