Xu Shi spoke lightly, but in reality, this was a further step in encroaching upon their territory. To be honest, it wouldn't matter much to the city hall and the inspection bureau, since they wouldn't dare to disagree. However, other conglomerates might not be so lenient.
In the past, everyone kept to their own ways when it came to online methods, and didn't interfere with each other. If the young master really does this, won't others think he's overstepping his bounds? It's something that needs to be taken into consideration.
"That depends on whether Director Tang can withstand the pressure."
Xu Shi wasn't worried about this. Regardless of his current relationship with Tang Shuang, she probably wanted to advance further in the current situation. Now that she had this offer, he wasn't afraid she wouldn't accept it.
Furthermore, through subtle manipulation, "Snake Ring" is currently the dominant force, holding a clear advantage over others. Even if the remaining conglomerates become aware of this, the opposition may not be significant.
Or rather, whether they object or not, he's going to do this anyway—ambition without action isn't enough; he can't just do nothing because he'll encounter resistance, can he? Sorry, that's not Chairman Xu's style.
Su Lin remained noncommittal, but she vaguely sensed that the young master was even more confident than she had imagined. "When did you become so close to that person from the Investigation Bureau..."
As for concerns, she didn't have many—the fact is, as someone who had always been by Xu Shi's side, she probably knew best what the young master was thinking.
Lin Wenhua and Shen Qin are causing trouble, including the missing Shen He... even Long Tianding is probably not his main concern.
Xu Shi's true purpose was to use these events to thoroughly clean up the City of Night Sin; the other events were merely triggers.
In fact, he was the one behind the scenes driving many things, using this to integrate and resolve these restless factors... Su Lin could even imagine that once these obstacles were removed, the future "Snake Ring" would definitely become an existence on par with "Refraction" and "Heavenly River" back then. There are already some signs of that, aren't there?
Thinking this way, she felt only relief—her child had not only grown up, but was even getting bigger and bigger.
Gu Yi didn't consider as many things as she did; she focused on a different perspective.
"Me and the Bureau of Investigation...you mean the one from that party?"
No way!
The fact is that even now, Miss Black Rabbit still has a strange fear of the Inspection Bureau, even when it's protecting her.
This is what it means to have a guilty conscience.
I have heard of some industry veterans who have been recruited by the city hall... but the problem is that she doesn't seem to have gone through this process.
So the thought of working with the black-hatted inspectors from the inspection bureau was still a bit overwhelming for her.
But then I thought, I haven't revealed anything yet, so there shouldn't be any problems...
"Mmm, you can do it, Gu Xiaoyi, stand up straight!"
I gave myself a silent pep talk, and just then the car came to a stop.
"Um, when we get back, do you want to...?"
Having calmed down, Miss Black Rabbit breathed a long sigh of relief and hugged Xu Shi's arm, whispering something.
To be honest, playing games with the old man was really fun, but there are some things that games can't replace. Of course, I've been thinking about him a lot since I haven't seen him for so long.
Even if it's just imitating a kitten, right? I felt wronged at the time, but looking back, it's actually quite funny...
However, before Xu could respond, the door opened first.
"Oh my, has Brother Xu Shi returned?"
A small head with long white hair peeked out and greeted her with a smile, "Should I say welcome home...? Huh?"
Seeing Gu Yi's intimate gestures towards Xu Shi, Xia Ke'an froze on the spot.
"Why?"
Gu Yi also let out a sigh, staring blankly at the white-haired loli for a long while, as if her brain had short-circuited.
Then she blinked.
Then she turned to look at Xu Shi.
"So... I've only been away from you for a little over two weeks, and you already have a child?!"
Miss Black Rabbit, having regained her senses, let out a squeak like a groundhog.
...
Ten minutes later.
The people sitting on the sofa then understood the whole story.
Of course, this only applies to Gu Yi and Xia Wuyou. They genuinely didn't know that the other person also lived in Xu Shi's house. Especially since Gu Yi had been staying at "Feather Pen" all this time, and Little Black Rabbit had been living in the basement... it was difficult to find any trace of her in this house.
Interestingly, the two of them actually knew about each other; they were colleagues at the company... Thinking about it this way, Xu Shi really is a bastard, taking advantage of his position to sexually harass his female subordinate, right?
The worst part is that you not only sneak in, but you even bring it home, and the most amazing thing is that you all bump into each other... ugh...
"You've moved in! How's it going?"
The person involved, as always, was shameless. Not only was he not embarrassed by the scene, but he also asked in a low voice as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
He has never been secretive about this. The world shouldn't be so small, right? He originally planned to come back and let everyone get acquainted first, but who knew it would turn out to be such a humorous start.
"...Is everything alright?"
Xia Wuyou pouted. What could she say? She thought there was only Su Lin besides herself, but who knew there was also Gu Yi? This... this...
She even specifically chose a room very close to Xu Shi.
However, she quickly calmed down. To be honest, Xia Wuyou was not unprepared for this. How could someone like Xu Shi only be interested in her... right? At least in her mind, there was also Director Su.
