The adjutant was quite tactful and slipped away, politely saying goodbye to Su Lin and Gu Yi.
"Is it really okay to leave it to her?"
Watching her walk away with cheerful steps, Miss Black Rabbit was still a little worried. She frowned and asked, "It's not that I'm worried about her abilities, it's just..."
She hesitated to speak, and didn't bring her concerns to the forefront.
But her meaning was clear: this person was very expensive, and she would inevitably line her own pockets at every stage afterward.
"If she wants to earn some extra money, let her earn it."
Xu Shi didn't care. "Of course I can find someone who is both loyal and honest, but if that person can't get things done, the expenses will still be considerable."
As the old saying goes, the only downside to expensive things is that they are expensive.
It's true that Yu Xingchuan's hands aren't clean, but it's also true that she can guarantee the quality and quantity of all the tasks assigned to her.
Xu Shi valued the latter; given his status and position, how could he possibly lack such a small amount of money? Of course not.
As for power... all I can say is that the adjutant is very clear-headed; she knows what she should and shouldn't touch, and she would never do anything out of line.
Besides, he's not a hands-off manager who's watching over things all the time. If Yu Xingchuan really dares to do something he shouldn't, he won't just sit idly by.
"oh."
Since Xu Shi had already said that, Gu Yi had no choice but to shut up.
Thinking about it carefully, what that bastard Xu said doesn't seem to be wrong... And to be honest, she now understands that although her skill level has improved, she still has a lot to learn compared to Xu Shi.
The reason I still have some resistance is simply because of Hoshikawa himself.
Back when she was still the little black rabbit of Sin City, the people she disliked the most were the Bureau of Investigation. Even the corporate dogs could only rank second... Oh, now I'm a member of the corporate group too, so I can't say anything that's not good for unity.
But later, as her horizons broadened, she saw people like Tang Shuang and realized that not all of these people were scoundrels or bastards.
However, Yu Xingchuan was an exception. Just thinking about how she used to struggle to survive in Sin City and often had to bribe those guys in the Inspection Bureau made Gu Yi furious.
Thank goodness she didn't go to sea with the adjutant; otherwise, the journey would have been filled with head-to-head fights...
However, from a broader perspective, Miss Black Rabbit's eyelids are still a bit shallow.
So she was still a little unconvinced, muttering half-sullenly, "If you let me go, I won't waste money..."
That's natural. Xu Shi had many loyal and devoted girls around him, and there were plenty of them who gave without expecting anything in return.
"Are you really willing to leave me all alone?"
Mr. Xu flicked her forehead. "Anyway, I'm reluctant to let you go. You'd better stay put."
"That sounds nice, but why didn't you say that when I filled out the application form?"
Miss Black Rabbit sniffed, giving off a "Don't think I've forgotten" look.
"Good steel should be used on the blade."
Xu Shi chuckled to himself. He had thought it through carefully before keeping her, and there was a reason why he didn't want Gu Yi to come along.
However, he didn't want to dwell on the issue, so he subtly changed the subject, "Are the candy stores still open? Shall we go buy some candy?"
"I heard before I came back that they've made a bunch of new strawberry candies... Want some?"
"...Eat! Eat the whole box!"
Miss Black Rabbit was completely powerless against strawberry flavor, and immediately put all her worries and concerns to the back of her mind.
Anyway, it was Xu the bastard who made the decision, so it's definitely fine!
The silent Director Su listened quietly to the two bickering, a smile unconsciously curving his lips.
My silly daughter is so easy to coax.
Yes, during the time Xu Shi was away, she truly raised Gu Yi like a daughter.
...
Perhaps because they were delayed on the way, by the time the family of three arrived home, someone had already gotten there before them.
"Where have you been?"
Xia Ke'an put her hands on her hips, glared at him angrily, and said, "I just saw that woman, Yu Xingchuan, got into your car... You two wouldn't be like this, would you?"
"Yes, that's right, just as you think."
Xu Shi teased her with words.
"Aren't you going to do anything about it?!"
The older woman's punch landed on cotton, so she had no choice but to shift her target and look to Gu Yi for help.
Su Lin is not someone you should mess with, but this flat-chested little girl is quite something.
"How dare you question me?"
Miss Black Rabbit wasn't having any of it. "I haven't even settled accounts with you for taking advantage of me while I was away, and you're already trying to shift the blame?"
I don't know who took advantage of the sea voyage to have sex with Xu Shixian, and I had no idea you had such a trick as changing size at will!
The white-haired girl was furious. "Gu Yi, are you brainless? Is this the time to talk about me?! Do you even know that a bad woman is about to break into our house?!"
But then she realized that if that were the case, the little rabbit would have jumped up on its own long ago, and wouldn't have had the time to argue with her.
"You two, stop fooling around."
Su Lin sighed helplessly, but her gaze was fixed on Xu Shi. "Including you, young master, can you at least behave yourself?"
It's normal for girls to misunderstand each other. What's scary is running into someone like Xu Shi who likes to stir things up. What did he mean by what he just said? Wasn't he just deliberately misleading them...?
But to be honest, Xia Ke'an is really good at falling for traps. If I remember correctly, I used to study hard with her as a role model when I was a child, and I aspired to become a strong woman like her... But as time goes by, how come you are getting more and more backward?
