This time, Wen Xiuzhu didn't speak again. After a long while, he sighed softly, "What can I do if I'm unwilling?"
The reason these two systems can see what's outside is because of the host's eyes.
Now that the host can't see, the two of them have also become blind.
They are unaware of the myriad changes outside; staying in the host's mind is like being locked in a tightly closed room.
In the past, they were so focused on how the little prince should develop in the future that they hadn't thought about this much. Besides, when they were bored, they could see the outside world through the little prince's eyes.
But now that window is closed, my mind has turned completely black.
One day, two days, three days, four days...
Wen Xiuzhu had no idea when this would end, and he was extremely anxious.
In addition, the annual system evaluation is about to begin. Wen Xiuzhu knows that with the young prince's current situation, their agricultural and commercial system will definitely not have an advantage in the evaluation!
Wen Xiuzhu had actually been considering unilaterally severing the connection with the host for more than just a day or two.
But he never made up his mind and always had one excuse or another to decline.
Day after day, until today, this woman, Shu Xiaohan, saw through the deception.
Faced with Shu Xiaohan's questioning, Wen Xiuzhu felt a sense of relief. He felt that Shu Xiaohan's questioning and his argument were the best excuse to leave.
But after opening his mouth, he turned his head to look at the sleeping Gu Yuzhi, and then closed his mouth again.
He really didn't know what to say.
Shu Xiaohan also sighed softly, "But what we're doing isn't something we can just see with our eyes. Like the young prince said, we can feel it with our hearts. Xinliang is almost halfway through construction, and next year's progress will definitely be faster than this year's. Don't you want to see the final results?"
"Furthermore, even the young prince hasn't given up yet, so why are you talking about giving up?"
“Because I’m a businessman, profit-seeking is in my nature!” Wen Xiuzhu interrupted her without any politeness. “Last year, because we found a host, the main system didn’t let us participate in the year-end evaluation, but what about this year?”
"Because His Highness is younger than others, we have to explain many things to him again and again. And because of various obstacles, our progress is much slower than others. Have you ever thought about what to do about the system evaluation at the end of the year?"
Gu Yuzhi slowly opened his eyes, his empty and lifeless gaze slowly turning towards Manager Wen and the others.
He pursed his lips, and his eyes gradually reddened.
He finally understood what Manager Wen meant: he was blind and couldn't help Manager Wen much, which would affect his evaluation.
Gu Yuzhi quietly turned over, his back to Wen Shu and the other person, and secretly rubbed his eyes.
He secretly wondered if Xie Changshi and the others actually shared the same thoughts as Manager Wen, that they disliked him and saw him as a burden that held everyone back.
How can one learn if one cannot see? How can one handle daily affairs if one cannot see? How can one inherit the legacy of the Northern Desert Army if one cannot see?
Gu Yuzhi pursed his lips, his eyes growing redder and redder, wishing he could burst into tears, but he could only swallow back all his grievances, worries, and fears, and continue to listen attentively.
Wen Xiuzhu had raised his voice when he spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them realized something was wrong. They immediately shut their mouths and looked at Gu Yuzhi at the same time. They saw him turn over in a daze, probably disturbed by the noise, but not yet awake.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shu Xiaohan's furious mood suddenly relaxed at this moment.
Wen Xiuzhu said he was a businessman whose nature was to pursue profit, but in Shu Xiaohan's opinion, deep down he had already been grooming the young prince as his successor.
Throughout the year, whenever the young prince showed even a little talent in business, Wen Xiuzhu was the happiest person.
She sighed deeply, her expression softening considerably: "Manager Wen, regardless of how the system evaluation is conducted at the end of the year, the agricultural and commercial system isn't just about you; there's me too. I don't agree to severing ties with the young prince!"
Her tone was resolute, and her expression was very solemn: "You are right, and the main system is also very right. We will meet many hosts in the future, and we cannot invest so much emotion in every host, but the young prince is different."
Just like everyone's first love, even if it doesn't end well, it occupies a very special place in everyone's heart.
"Manager Wen, you have seen the young prince's hard work this year. You should also know that, given Xinliang's current development, although our agricultural and commercial system may not be able to rank among the top in the evaluation, it will definitely not be last."
As soon as Shu Xiaohan finished speaking, Wen Xiuzhu said painfully, "But that's not what I want! You should know that as long as we rank first in the year-end evaluation for five consecutive years, we can go back!"
What the hell is ideology?
Either live well, or just die!
Thinking of all this, Wen Xiuzhu's reluctance resurfaced, and she even suppressed all the previous reluctance and the happiness she had felt while spending time with Gu Yuzhi.
He whispered, "Don't you want to go back? Don't you miss your two sons?"
"You always tell me that you treat the young prince as your own child, but is he really?"
Shu Xiaohan was stunned, her mind went blank, and she swallowed back all her words of persuasion.
How could I not want to?
When she has free time, she thinks that if she could go back in time, she would spend more time with her family, hug her two children more often, tell her eldest son that he is very important to her, and tell her youngest son that his mother misses him very much...
Wen Xiuzhu retorted sarcastically, "Everyone is selfish. I was just expressing my deepest thoughts. You have no right to condemn me!"
Shu Xiaohan remained silent, and Gu Yuzhi's mind finally quieted down.
At this moment, Gu Yuzhi's eyes were wide open, staring blankly ahead.
He had always believed that Manager Wen and Teacher Shu were the least likely people to "betray" him, just like their sudden disappearance this time. He thought they would stay by his side for a long, long time.
But now he realizes that he is not an irreplaceable "family member" at all, but merely a tool for them to complete their mission.
Gu Yuzhi's hands, hidden under the covers, were clenched tightly, and his lips were bitten so hard that they bled.
At this moment, he felt even more desperate than when he had just woken up.
The next moment, Shu Xiaohan chuckled softly: "You're right, everyone is selfish..."
