That's enough!
These are all the thoughts in Miss Su Lin's mind right now.
Being abruptly interrupted before one has finished speaking is rather absurd.
The thing is, this isn't the first time! Last time in the office, it felt like the young master was about to kiss her, but then Jiang Chengcheng suddenly interfered... You guys usually don't seem to have such good timing.
Of course, there are exceptions. When he accompanied Xu Shi to Sin City to capture Gu Yi, no one bothered him. But at that time, Director Su had not yet made up his mind. Faced with the young master's teasing, he felt only shame and indignation and had no other thoughts at all.
As a result, he never encountered such a good opportunity again. What is this called? It's like regretting something only after it's gone?
She wondered if she was under some strange curse, and the little voice in her mind squatted on the ground drawing circles.
He stood there for a long time, looking lost and muttering to himself, before finally finishing his call and returning.
"Was it Tang Shuang who called you?"
Su Lin didn't know what to say, so she asked the question knowing the answer already.
"Yes, it's probably some issues concerning the details of the subsequent governance of Night City. They keep going on and on, it's giving me a headache."
Xu Shi sighed, "I've made an appointment with her, and I'm afraid I'll have to go to the city hall every day for the next few days to talk to her in person."
"oh."
Su Lin nodded. "Then I'll go back and change your schedule for you. I'll handle some of the less important things for you. Is that alright?"
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work."
Xu Shi had long been accustomed to Director Su's way of doing things. In fact, even now, he had never had to worry about most of the trivial matters himself, so he was happy to delegate authority to her.
"By the way, what did you say happened tonight? I didn't hear you clearly."
After explaining everything, he belatedly remembered this incident.
"ah……"
Su Lin wanted to finish what she had just said, but she stopped herself at the last second.
To be honest, she felt conflicted.
If it weren't for Lin Yue's incident, things might have been fine, but now she suddenly realized that Xu Shi was not short of women; there were probably more women around him than she had imagined. Didn't she see Tang Shuang appear now...?
So, shouldn't I make my feelings clear as soon as possible? It's hard to say how the young master will react, but even if he refuses, it will save me from any unforeseen complications.
Otherwise, if things drag on, you might not even have a place left... Feelings are fickle, so making the most of every second is the only way to go.
But then again, Tang Shuang had important business to discuss with Xu Shi, while my invitation to dinner was just a trivial matter. The young master was at a crucial juncture where he needed to solidify his position, so wouldn't it be a bad idea to distract him with something like this?
That's the kind of person she is; she easily puts her own affairs in the least important position. Of course, this only applies when she's facing Xu Shi. In front of others, she's very authoritative.
So she changed her tune in the end, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask... what would you like to eat tonight?"
She can't change what has already happened, but delaying it for three to five days shouldn't have any impact... right?
She chose to comfort herself with an excuse that even she couldn't believe.
"Why would you need to ask me about something like this?"
Xu Shi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, "You can decide for yourself. Hasn't it always been like this all these years?"
"That's true."
Su Lin gave an awkward laugh. "So... shall we go home now?"
"Okay, let's go."
Xu Shi turned his neck, looked at her with a smile, and a subtle, almost imperceptible glint flashed in his eyes.
...
The next day.
"Good morning, Governor Tang."
Xu Shi arrived at the city hall early in the morning. He was still very concerned about the development details of Night Sin City. Even if Tang Shuang didn't look for him, he still had to keep an eye on things.
Who can we rely on anyone else? They were all very enthusiastic when it came to dividing up the spoils, but when it came to actually doing the work, they were nowhere to be seen. The only exception was Old Master Wen, but unfortunately, the old man was willing but unable to do so, and he is currently recuperating.
I guess I'll just have to suffer myself.
"Good morning, Chairman Xu."
Tang Shuang didn't seem to have rested well; her slightly haggard face was adorned with faint dark circles under her eyes.
However, upon seeing him, she perked up and warmly invited him into her office, saying, "I hope I haven't bothered you by coming all this way?"
"How could that be? I'd be happy to serve Governor Tang."
The sarcastic tone in her voice didn't escape Xu Shi's notice, but he didn't care much and laughed it off.
At the same time, he noticed another unusual thing about the other person, "By the way, why are you still wearing the Inspection Bureau uniform? I heard from Yu Xingchuan that the handover and appointment of the new governor has been completed?"
Let's get down to business.
Tang Shuang ignored the question and instead handed him a proposal. "Here, I've been working on this for the past few days. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs improvement?"
Xu Shi didn't stand on ceremony and took the proposal to read it carefully.
To be honest, this scene is actually quite funny—theoretically speaking, the governor is the highest authority in Night City, and even with major conglomerates watching him from behind, it's rare to see someone like Tang Shuang, acting like a primary school student handing over their homework to Teacher Xu for correction...
But neither Xu Shi nor Tang Shuang seemed to think there was anything wrong with it, and their back-and-forth movements were very natural, as if they understood each other without saying a word.
Do you even understand the true value of the Supreme Emperor of Night City? (Hands on hips)
"It's alright, pretty much the same as what was discussed at the meeting a few days ago."
