It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

She managed this place in an orderly manner by herself. I was right about her ability.

So, there is only one last question left.

"Guess what task I'm going to assign you next, Miss Xingchuan?"

This chapter makes up for yesterday's, and the day before yesterday's will be made up tomorrow.

I'm a bit hectic at the beginning of work, please bear with me

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 322: Expensive things have the only disadvantage of being expensive

2023-11-22

After hearing Xu Shi say this, Su Lin and Gu Yi in the front row immediately understood.

As expected, she was chosen.

They knew very well that what Xu Shi was talking about was of course the people who would form a team and be responsible for future overseas affairs.

To be honest, this position is actually a bit awkward - because Xu Shi himself said that he would not lead the team out to sea in the future, or would not lead the team often, which made the other girls lose interest.

Although they know that this is not without risks, they always subconsciously feel that this is no different from traveling on a honeymoon. How can one go on a honeymoon alone?

Wouldn't it be better to wait until Xu Shi is ready to lead the army in person and then find a way to go together?

Therefore, even after discussing it for a long time on the way back, no one seemed willing to take the initiative to take on this task. Of course, if Xu Shi gave the order, they would go... but active and passive are obviously two different concepts.

But Yu Xingchuan is different.

You see this guy looks harmless and servile, but actually he is very ambitious. I'm afraid that when he dreams at night, all he thinks about is how to climb a few more steps higher.

Everyone says Ding Jun wants to improve, but he is obviously the one who wants to improve the most, okay?

What's more precious is that the adjutant girl has the ability to match her ambition. Everything that happened before is enough to prove this point... It's absolutely perfect to let her do this.

It is obvious that Yu Xingchuan himself knows this.

It's easy to say that we should go out to sea to find other city-states and try to establish alliances with each other, but the interests behind it are considerable.

From applying for a budget to selecting staff, and then to all the links once successful...this is not just a task, this is simply a gold mountain, okay?

She had already guessed what Xu Shi intended her to do. After all, she had followed him to sea for a period of time. Now that he had invited her to talk in detail in such a serious manner, she could understand the whole thing with just a little thought.

If she can't even do this, she could just get out of the car now.

However, she did not agree right away. Instead, she blinked her clear and innocent eyes and looked at Xu Shi expectantly and asked.

"Could it be that Director Xu... wants me to be your Star Fury?"

The corners of Su Lin and Gu Yi's eyes twitched.

Everyone knew that she did this on purpose. She wanted to climb into Xu Shi's bed and become his own... But you really don't treat us as human beings, do you? How dare you say such ruthless words in front of us?

Xu Shi didn't care, instead he burst into laughter when he heard it.

He even asked back, "So are you willing... or not?"

"If it's Director Xu, then I'm willing to do it."

Yu Xingchuan nodded hurriedly, his eyes almost tearing with anticipation, as if he was going to take off all his clothes in the next second and then make the car vibrate.

Almost done.

Xu Shi's smile shifted to his heart. He knew very well why the adjutant lady did this.

It's just a way of showing loyalty.

Su Lin and the others could see it, so of course he could see it more clearly.

If he had to use one word to describe Yu Xingchuan, he would choose terrifying.

Yes, terrible.

Because he had never seen such an unscrupulous person. Xu Shi did not deny that his methods were dirty, but he still had to have dignity, right?

But Yu Xingchuan didn't seem to have that attitude. He offered himself to her as soon as he said so. It was the same before. In order to get into her bed, he used all kinds of tricks.

It would be fine if she was just simply attracted by his beauty, but the key point is that she did not have any real feelings for him. Everything she did was just to gain more benefits for herself.

This is also the reason why he has so many girls around him but has no feelings for the adjutant's daughter - why would he need to find someone who is just for show when he has someone who can treat him sincerely?

He even doubted whether the seed could really take root and sprout even if he used his ability on her.

It is true that he will do anything to achieve his goal. Compared with Tang Shuang, who is a serious and prudish person, Yu Xingchuan has quite a lot of negative news. It is common for him to confess under torture.

To sum up, she is a bad woman.

A pure and kind man like Xu Shi naturally doesn't want to be associated with such a bad woman, so it's good for him to maintain the current relationship of exploitation.

After all, there are not many people like her who are both obedient and capable. Being with her is the best way to feel the authority of a superior. It must be said that those little tricks of throwing herself into the arms of others before, including the current show of loyalty through such questioning, are still quite useful even though Mr. Xu is used to it.

She knows how to please others.

Who? Ding Jun? He's not a girl, okay?

If someone really does something like this, we should consider whether to destroy him humanely.

And it is undeniable that although Ding Jun has some skills, they are not much. Compared with Yu Xingchuan, he is just a dwarf.

"Okay, there's no need to overdo it."

He sighed, "Anyway, from now on, both the Inspection Bureau and the Maritime Bureau will be under your charge. You will be fully responsible for how the new departments are established, how they are recruited, and how they are planned. You don't have to ask me about everything. Just let me see the results."

"……Understood."

Seeing that Xu Shi had no intention of playing private space Play with her, the adjutant tidied her clothes in a second, switched to a serious face, and nodded vigorously, "I promise to complete the task!"

The conversation lasted just the right time, and the car stopped steadily in front of Yu Xingchuan’s big house.

"I won't bother you. I'm leaving now."

The adjutant lady tactfully left and said goodbye to Su Lin and Gu Yi politely.

"Is it really okay to give it to her?"

Watching her walk away happily, Miss Black Rabbit was still a little worried. She frowned and asked, "I'm not worried about her ability, it's just..."

She hesitated to speak and did not express her concerns openly.

But her meaning was very clear, this person was very expensive, and she would inevitably pocket the money in every step that followed.

"She wants to make some extra money, so let her do it."

Xu Shi didn't care. "Of course I can find someone who is both loyal and honest, but if this person can't get the job done, the cost will also be huge."

As the old saying goes, the only downside to expensive things is that they are expensive.

It is true that Yu Xingchuan's hands are not clean, but it is also true that she can ensure that all assigned tasks are completed with quality and quantity.

Xu Shi also valued the latter. With his status and position, could he still be short of this little money? Of course not.

As for power... I can only say that the adjutant lady is very clear-headed and knows what she should touch and what she shouldn't touch. She will never do anything out of line.

Besides, he is not a hands-off boss who is keeping an eye on things all the time. If Yu Xingchuan really dares to do something he shouldn’t do, he won’t sit idly by.

"Oh."

Xu Shi said so, so Gu Yi had no choice but to shut up.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that what Xu the bastard said is not wrong... And to be honest, she now understands that although her rank has improved, she still has a lot to learn compared to Xu Shi.

The reason why I still feel a little resistant is simply because of Xingchuan.

When she was still the little black rabbit of Sin City, what she hated the most were of course the people from the Inspection Bureau, and the dogs from the consortium were only second... Oh, I am also a member of the consortium now, and I cannot say anything that is not conducive to unity.

But later, as her horizons broadened, she also saw people like Tang Shuang, and discovered that not all of these people were bastards.

However, Yu Xingchuan was not among them. When Gu Yi thought about how he had to survive in the cracks of Sin City and how he often had to take care of those guys in the Inspection Bureau, he became furious.

Fortunately, she didn't go to sea with the adjutant lady. If that were the case, she would have been beaten to a pulp during the journey...

But from the overall perspective, Miss Black Rabbit's eyelids are still a little shallow.

So she was still a little dissatisfied, and grumbled half angrily, "You let me go without wasting money..."

This is natural. There are so many loyal girls around Xu Shi, and there are also many who just give without asking for anything in return.

"Are you willing to leave me alone?"

Boss Xu tapped her forehead and said, "I can't bear to let you go anyway, so you better stay here obediently."

"That sounds nice, but why didn't you say that when I filled out the application form?"

Miss Black Rabbit sniffed and looked like she was saying, "Don't think I've forgotten everything."

"The best steel should be used on the blade."

Xu Shi burst out laughing. The decision to keep her was a well-thought-out one. There must be a reason why he didn't let Gu Yi go with him.

But he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he quietly changed the subject, "Is the candy store still open? Go buy some candy?"

"Before I came back, I heard that they had made a bunch of new strawberry candies...want to eat them?"

"…Eat! Eat a whole box!"

Miss Black Rabbit had no resistance to anything with strawberry flavor, and immediately put all her worries and concerns behind her.

Anyway, it was the decision made by the bastard Xu, so there will definitely be no problem!

Director Su Da remained silent as he listened to the two bickering, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

My silly daughter is so easy to comfort.

Yes, during the time when Xu Shi was away, she really raised Gu Yi as her daughter.

……

Perhaps because they were delayed on the road, by the time the family of three arrived home, someone had already gotten there.

"What have you been doing?"

Xia Ke'an put her hands on her hips, looked at him angrily and said, "I just saw that woman Yu Xingchuan got into your car... Could it be that you guys didn't?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's what you think."

Xu Shi teased her with words.

"You don't care?!"

The old lady punched the cotton and had to change her target in disappointment, looking at Gu Yi for help.

Su Lin is not someone you can mess with, but this little flat-chested girl is still okay.

"How dare you question me?"

Miss Black Rabbit didn't buy her story. "I haven't even settled the matter with you about you taking advantage of my absence, and you're already blaming me for it?"

I don't know who took advantage of the opportunity of going out to sea to have this affair with Xu Shixian, and I didn't know you could actually have such a trick of changing your size anywhere!

The white-haired girl was so angry that she almost died. "Gu Yi, are you brainless? Is this the time to criticize me? Do you know that the bad woman is about to break into your house?"

But after thinking about it, she realized that if that was the case, the little rabbit would have jumped up by itself long ago, and would not have had the time to argue with her.

"You two, stop messing around."

Su Lin sighed helplessly, but her eyes were fixed on Xu Shi, "Including you, young master, can you behave yourself a little bit?"

It's normal for girls to have misunderstandings with each other, but they are afraid of running into someone like Xu Shi who likes to stir up trouble. What did he mean by what he said just now? Wasn't he deliberately misleading them...

But I have to say, this Xia Ke'an is really easy to fool. If I remember correctly, when I was a child, I took her as my goal and studied hard, aspiring to become a strong woman like her...but as time goes by, how come you are going backwards?

She deeply felt the difficulty of the position of the eldest wife. In comparison, Xia Wuyou was more reliable.

Xia Wuyou was indeed reliable. She didn't care about what was happening here at all. She just patiently explained things to the two sisters Feng and Ling.

"Life here is very different from that in the Hualan Empire. I just gave you a brief introduction. Get settled first, and then we can slowly get involved in other things."

"I understand, Master (Master Wife)."

The sisters Feng and Ling said in unison that it was not that they had not seen things in the Night City of Sin, but videos and pictures were far inferior to seeing it with their own eyes. Just now, when they walked around the city, the high-rise buildings and high-tech equipment were enough to shock them for several rounds.

But on the other hand, they are also very interested in this. After all, they have known for a long time that they will grow up and live in this completely different world. Rather than being shy, they are more curious about it.

On the contrary, Xu Ying, who was not very mature, was a little timid. At this moment, she only responded weakly, "Thank you, Sister Xia."
