They said they were going to rest on the island and then find a chance to get revenge, but they weren't really idle all day; they were doing their little schemes in the backyard and such...
Setting up communication base stations was of paramount importance – previously, communication was limited to simple telegrams, and no matter how much was written, it was not as clear as communicating via video.
Now that it's finally completed, no one will be complacent.
At least Xie Qingyan immediately lost the idea of lingering with Xu Shi, and Xia Wuyou and Jiang Chengcheng also forced themselves to wake up.
Despite feeling weak, everyone followed Xu Shi to the construction site.
Yu Xingchuan and Ye Shanshan, the two "tools," had already arrived, and Pan Cheng's family, along with Xia Ke'an, were also in place—after all, Pan Cheng was the island's owner, and he was eager to see just how useful something that Xu Shi valued so much really was.
A large area on the back mountain was allocated to Xu Shi. The silver-white iron tower soared into the sky, and the signal lights on top kept flashing, anxiously waiting for the moment it would be opened.
"You've worked hard."
Seeing this, Xu Shi couldn't help but admire that the people left behind on Silver Pine Island had really been busy during his time in the main city. Building a signal tower is not just about building a tower; all sorts of supporting things also need to be in place. For example, at the very least, there should be large-scale power generation facilities.
Xu Shi thought about it for a moment and then decided to let them lay out the circuit system throughout Silver Pine Island. Not to mention other things, it could be completed in a few months. The process of going from zero to one was really not an easy thing. Every bit of it was the result of everyone's hard work.
"Mr. Xu, you flatter me."
The little curly-haired boy smiled broadly, feeling a great sense of accomplishment from completing such a large project, and even more so from being praised by Xu Shi...
However, she didn't take credit, but pointed to Jiang Chengcheng next to Xu Shi, "Actually, it was mainly Chengcheng who designed and was in charge. We were just helping out."
"Yeah?"
Xu Shi knew perfectly well what was going on, and without any hesitation, he pulled her close and kissed her, saying, "That's wonderful."
If she's not a hidden gem, then who is?
"I'm willing to do anything you ask, no matter how tiring it is."
Jiang Chengcheng became even more uninhibited, pressing herself against him, "It would be even better if you could make me worry less..."
Everyone present knew each other, so they didn't think much of it and instead laughed heartily, instantly filling the room with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Young master, please come and cut the ribbon!"
Yu Xingchuan handed over a small pair of scissors; a sense of ceremony is still necessary, after all.
"good."
Xu Shi was also a little impatient, and with a swift motion, he completed the simple ceremony.
"Signal tower, start!"
With his command, the massive steel machinery officially began operation.
The scene immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the connected virtual projector.
A moment later, the device gradually emitted a voice, "...Hello?"
The voice sounded both familiar and unfamiliar, and soon, Su Lin's face became clear.
Can you hear me?
Xu Shi was delighted and waved to her.
"...Young Master."
Su Lin could hear it too, and she tried her best to suppress her joy and said as calmly as possible, "Yes, I can hear you."
"Oh, so you only know that Sister Su Lin forgot about me?"
Her voice was quickly drowned out by a cheerful little rabbit, and Gu Yi forced her way in, taking up most of the screen.
Miss Black Rabbit has sharp eyes and spotted Xie Qingyan next to Xu the Scoundrel at a glance.
Although she was a few years younger than him, she was experienced in this area and could easily sense the difference between them.
This made her furious. "Fine, I knew it! You taking her but not me was all premeditated. You two really got together... Humph!"
"What, do I need your approval for this?"
Xu Shi didn't spoil her; he was ready to bully her from the start.
The timid Gu Yi instinctively shrank back, but quickly realized what was happening. "Hahaha, it's a video call now, you can't bully me anymore! Come on, come on, nyah nyah nyah..."
Hey.
Xu Shi rolled his eyes. This little brat's gotten bold, huh? She actually dares to be sarcastic and disrespectful... Has she forgotten what happened to her before? Besides, you think I'm never going back? I'll remember that!
Xie Qingyan laughed out loud when she saw this, "Hello, Gu Yi."
I used to find this kid irritating, but seeing her again today, I think she's quite cute... Maybe it's because we're in different positions, and that's how we see things from different perspectives?
She's even forgiven the time when the other party conspired with Xu Shi to deliberately provoke her. From now on, they'll probably be sisters... But I've heard that this little girl is timid. If it's her, she'll be able to bully her, right?
She looked at him calmly, while Miss Black Rabbit became a little embarrassed. "You, hello... Sister Qingyan?"
She was extremely familiar with Xu the scoundrel, so she spoke without any restraint. However, she wasn't as familiar with Xie Qingyan, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
However, she didn't have time to think about it and was quickly left aside.
The one who embarrassed her was Tang Shuang. Governor Tang looked at Xu Shi with a beaming smile, "Long time no see, Xu Shi."
In a quiet corner unnoticed by anyone, Lin Yue huddled to the side, her face flushed as she looked at her master, unsure of what to say—the communication time had been agreed upon, and they had been waiting together for a long time for this.
"Huh? You guys..."
Xu Shi noticed something was wrong. There was nothing wrong with Su Lin, Gu Yi, and Tang Shuang being in the same frame, but the addition of Lin Yue meant...
"Come on, you think you can hide your little secret forever?"
