Who are you referring to?
Sensitive Chairman Xu pretended to be angry.
"Whoever gets angry, we'll call them out."
Tang Shuang smiled slightly. Although she knew he wouldn't be so easily swayed, the feeling of having him under her control was quite pleasant.
"I can't be bothered to argue with you."
Xu Shi rolled her eyes at her. "Speak, what is it?"
"Well... I really want to thank you."
Once the topic was brought up, Director Tang started to stammer, remaining silent for a while before saying, "In the past few months, the crime rate has dropped considerably in both Night City and Sin City."
I really have to thank him for this.
With his equipment assistance, the investigation bureau was indeed much more adept at handling cases. It's not just a saying that having good equipment makes you more assertive.
Secondly, it was also about Xu Shi maneuvering and exerting his influence among the six major conglomerates. Crime was rampant in Sin City, and since "Disgaea" was destroyed, the other gangs had also quieted down considerably.
Although there were still riots like the previous attack on the "Shark Tooth" warehouse, the overall trend is positive.
Although she didn't know much about it, she knew that Xu Shi was involved in this matter and that he was definitely pulling the strings behind the scenes... His specific purpose was certainly not to help her, but the outcome was good, so she was happy to accept it.
Of course, one wonders what she would think if she discovered that the only major riot was orchestrated by the man in front of her.
"That's all thanks to Director Tang's effective security measures; I'm just a businessman."
Xu Shi waved his hand, and to be honest, he felt a little guilty, but only a little.
Say what you want.
Tang Shuang didn't care, "Including what happened to Miss He this time, it's all thanks to you."
"Okay, then?"
Xu Shi thought to himself that this matter actually had little to do with him, so it sounded even stranger. Did Director Tang call him here specifically to flatter him?
This isn't like you at all.
"...That's it. Should the inspection bureau issue a public notice to commend you?"
Seeing his stubbornness, Tang Shuang glared at him and said sarcastically.
"If you're going to give it to me, I'll definitely take it. There's nothing wrong with adding a layer of prestige to someone's image."
Xu Shi shrugged. "But this whole thing has been all bark and no bite. Director Tang, do you think there's something wrong with it?"
"I don't see anything wrong with it."
Tang Shuang spoke frankly, "The rich girl just went out to play in a moment of madness... Actually, I should be asking you, you should know her better than I do?"
"What a coincidence, I'm not actually that familiar with it either."
Xu Shi shook his head. "I just have a vague feeling that something's not right... or maybe I'm just being paranoid?"
He Yuxia was found, and they naturally inquired about her well-being. However, since she had given a very detailed account and had not lied, they did not find anything wrong with her.
"It's probably a good thing that it's not there."
Tang Shuang shrugged and downed her tea in one gulp. "However, this is just a small example. In such a short time, you've completely subdued the 'Forgotten Ones,' making them obedient and well-behaved."
"They would only harm He Yuxia if they went mad."
Xu Shi remained noncommittal, as he genuinely didn't know who this so-called "Luo Tian" was. "For them, the most important thing is either to study hard or work hard at mining to get their ticket to Night City of Sin as soon as possible."
"I think Director Tang will be able to relax a lot because of this?"
"It seems I have to thank you again."
Tang Shuang nodded, her smile a mixture of helplessness and relief.
The security of the City of Nightsin and the Forgotten Ones was naturally within her responsibilities. Allocating manpower, patrolling day and night, and preventing anyone from sneaking into the city were all things she had to do.
It was a huge undertaking, but it wasn't the mess she had imagined. At least the expected chaos didn't last long, and it quickly entered a more organized phase.
This was also thanks to Xu Shi, who truly saved her a lot of trouble.
"You're welcome."
Xu Shi wasn't modest this time; it was all thanks to the master... However, after sitting for so long, he still couldn't figure out what Tang Shuang wanted from him, so he frowned and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now?"
Are you in a hurry?
Tang Shuang quickly stopped her, saying, "If you're not in a hurry... let's wait a little longer."
"Then tell me what you want to talk to me about."
Xu Shi sighed helplessly, "What am I supposed to do here if all I do is drink tea, chat idly, and keep saying thank you?"
Or you could be less sincere than rdnene; that way, I could still feel your gratitude.
However, to his surprise, upon hearing this, Tang Shuang paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Mm."
?
Xu Shi was stunned for a few seconds before he realized, "So you really just wanted to chat with me?"
"Seriously, Er? If you really want to chat with someone, why not someone else? Why me?"
Xu Shi was sweating profusely, which just goes to show how much he usually overthought things; he never imagined the other party's intentions were so simple...
"Because, I, I... I don't know who else to turn to."
Tang Shuang looked aggrieved.
Don't you have any friends?
Director Tang shook his head.
Where are your family members?
"Both my parents worked for the inspection bureau and died in the line of duty at a young age."
"..."
Xu Shi was speechless.
He didn't really have much of an impression of Tang Shuang's background. Perhaps it was mentioned in the original work? He figured it would only be a few brief mentions, otherwise he wouldn't have forgotten it...
So you're another member of the Qidian Orphanage, right?
