He knew the old man didn't like being bothered like this, even if it was for his own good, but this kind of treatment of a patient would always make people uncomfortable, right?
Not to mention that Wen Shengkui actually raised Ning Wei as his son; otherwise, he wouldn't have cared for him so much. This is actually quite dramatic, because in terms of background, Ning Wei and Su Lin are actually very similar. They were both orphans who gradually rose to their current positions.
So Xu Shi wasn't completely unfamiliar with this person before. He had seen him many times when he was a child, and back then, this guy always had a poker face, which hasn't changed since.
That's why, now that we're more familiar, he's happy to call me "Big Brother" instead of by my title, even though it's actually a generational difference... I'm getting the better deal, yay!
As for my grandfather's health...
"You don't need to be so alarmed. It's true that Grandpa used his abilities, but 'Snake Ring' and 'Prism' have also found a way to further improve the ability transplantation technology during this trip."
He explained with a smile, "Once the new drug is fully mature, we will definitely transplant the self-healing ability into my grandfather. Before I came back, I had already coaxed him to get an injection of the adaptogen first."
Is that so?
Ning Wei was overjoyed; a weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
As for Xu Shi's advice, he accepted it, but such things cannot be changed overnight. To be honest, he never considered himself as Wen Shengkui's nephew or niece, and subconsciously thought of himself as just a servant.
Are you relieved now?
Xu Shi couldn't help but chuckle, "If you feel better, let's have a meal together first. I'll contact you anytime if anything comes up."
"good."
Now Ning Wei had no reason to refuse.
In fact, Ning Wei wasn't really an outsider. Su Lin had a lot of work-related interactions with him, and Gu Yi frequently visited Grandpa Wen. Over time, she naturally became familiar with this stern-faced older brother.
So no one would mind him joining the welcoming banquet; it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks.
Xu Shi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Ning Wei eating at the dinner table.
Oh, you really eat? Oh no, so you actually need to eat?
I thought you were like the main characters in those stories, busy for hundreds of chapters without eating or drinking a single drop of water, or even changing your clothes.
happy.
"Thank you for taking care of Grandpa, Brother Ning."
Mr. Xu made some polite remarks and offered him a toast.
"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. It's just my duty."
Ning Wei was quite modest, saying, "Taking care of the master is what I should do."
"Hey, I took care of the old man while you were away, okay?"
Gu Yi expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "How can you have other dogs in your eyes?"
Even if it's a man, it won't work.
The little puppy thought to himself with a sour feeling.
"I'll be so grateful if you don't corrupt Grandpa."
Xu Shi complained, but still clinked glasses with her.
"We don't know who's leading whom yet."
Miss Black Rabbit snorted twice indignantly.
Regardless of her thoughts, Xu Shi took the opportunity during the meal to tell Ning Wei about the sea voyage plan that everyone had discussed on the way back. After all, it was another conglomerate, so it was necessary to say what needed to be said. In such matters, everyone should always work together towards the same goal.
"I will naturally give my full support. Just let me know if there's anything 'Feather Pen' can do."
Ning Wei had no objection to this, because Wen Shengkui had returned early and had already witnessed the gains brought by going to sea.
"There really is something I need you to do."
Xu Shi smiled. "You still remember the request you promised me, right?"
"Speaking of which, aren't you afraid I'll take this opportunity to make things difficult for you? You just agreed without hesitation."
He didn't forget to make a joke.
"Chairman Xu, you were just joking."
Ning Wei rarely smiled.
Ultimately, he knew Xu Shi's mischievous nature and knew he wouldn't be too outrageous. Besides, Cheng Gujian's matter wasn't exactly a secret, so even if Xu Shi wanted to make things difficult for him, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Not to mention that he has nothing in himself that is worth coveting—he has no shortage of money, and as for power and such, if Wen Shengkui were really willing, he wouldn't refuse it with just a word.
Could it be that she's taken a liking to me? What a joke.
But he never expected that Xu Shi would actually take a liking to him.
"My request is simple: I hope the business scope of 'quill pens' can be slightly modified in the future."
He said it slowly and deliberately.
"...Be more specific?"
"That's right. If we're going to build an alliance system in the future, there will definitely be a lot of cultural exchanges between us."
Xu Shi said seriously, "Even now, we need such a channel with the Hualan Empire... So far, this system has not been established yet, and we rely more on the sharing and communication between the two sides."
It's fortunate that there are no language issues between the two regions, but who can say there won't be in the future? That's something that can't be guaranteed.
Therefore, institutions like schools, especially higher education institutions, are very necessary.
The City of Night Sin has a unique characteristic: its education system has always been rather chaotic. Some people choose to receive knowledge through brain-computer interfaces, while others prefer traditional education methods. Of course, there are also some who are uneducated but can learn without a teacher, such as Gu Yi.
Interestingly, these heirs of conglomerates generally choose the latter option. The reason is simple: tampering with brain-computer interfaces can be very troublesome, and the major conglomerates have always been wary of each other.
