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

"Rather, it's better to say that she has approved of what you have done, Master?"

Pan Ling has a different view. "I can feel that although she doesn't say it, her resistance has already faded."

She smiled and said, "After all, what you do, Master, will have a very good impact in the long run."

In other words, it is doing good things, including the reconstruction of the Hualan Empire, which can bring many benefits.

Qin Yiyan is not blind, she is also capable of thinking for herself and can naturally distinguish right from wrong. Even if she had a prejudice against Xu Shi, it had long since disappeared. However, she is still being stubborn.

“I didn’t know I was so noble.”

Maybe he was still drunk, Xu Shi felt a little embarrassed by her words and smiled meaningfully.

"Maybe?"

Pan Ling did not comment, "But I also saw a saying before, which goes, a gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart."

"No matter what the master's starting point is, as long as the work is done well, it's fine. Besides, since these things can be done, even if the master has ambitions and wants to expand further, that's what you deserve, isn't it?"

“…That’s what you said.”

Xu Shi didn't expect that he would actually be lectured by his apprentice, but there was nothing wrong with what he said.

He did not deny that his starting point was not noble. After all, in addition to overthrowing "heavenly principles", he did want to gain more, so he went to great lengths to do these things.

But as Pan Ling said, these things are also beneficial to others. It is a virtuous cycle, rather than exhausting the resources.

"Hey, do you know why you are better than Master?"

Thinking of this, he asked with interest.

"Ok?"

"If you were here, I'm sure you would be able to discuss both the deeds and the heart."

Xu Shi smiled. He knew that this silly disciple was kinder than himself.

Or maybe her purpose is not as strong as mine. To put it bluntly, she is more of a good person than me - anyway, Boss Xu does not think of himself as a gentleman. He is not in a position to tell Pan Ling about some of his previous methods, such as training Lin Yue.

But Pan Ling is definitely not a pushover. When it comes to time to be ruthless, she can be even more ruthless than herself. She is not indecisive and can be a bit sinister occasionally.

He was very pleased that he had trained his apprentice into a person that satisfied him - anyway, he himself didn't care much about situations like teaching his apprentice to starve to death. If Pan Ling could really surpass him sooner, he would be happy to just give up and live a leisurely life.

"So you also know that you will definitely take over everything that the master has done in the future."

"...If Master is willing, I can take care of it for you."

Pan Ling blinked her eyes. "But you will have children in the future, right? So..."

"Then I don't know which of your mistress's wives is in her belly."

Xu Shi spread his hands and said, "Besides, I have spent so much time and effort to train you, you should also be filial to your master, right?"

"So, you have to study hard from now on, okay?"

As he spoke, he became more excited and handed over a communication bracelet that he had prepared long ago. "If you don't know anything, go ask your Master Su. She is more professional than me."

Pan Ling took the bracelet and looked at it, her expression changed instantly.

In the information age, the way of storing knowledge is very simple. There is no need to produce a bunch of bulky books like in the past.

But there were quite a few things stored here that she needed to learn. A rough count was at least thirty or forty books.

This is a bit too much...

Xu Shi was happy. Systematic learning is not that easy. MBA, management, economics, and so on are all very important courses.

You can skip primary education, but you must first take the postgraduate entrance examination, then study for a master's and doctoral degree, and strive to become an academician, right?

The expectations for teachers are very high!

Five years of postgraduate study and three years of simulation!

"master……"

"Why don't you study quickly?"

Chapter 325 Title Re-broadcast

2023-11-27

Pan Ling never expected that her master, who had always taken a free-range attitude towards her, would suddenly change his temperament and start to cram her with education.

Not at all. Every time she saw her sister being scolded to death by Master Xia, she felt secretly happy.

Apart from anything else, this is the only good thing about her master. He is not like other teachers who always assign heavy homework to her. It's not like she hasn't received other education before. On the contrary, as the daughter of the owner of Silver Pine Island, Pan Cheng will certainly not treat his two daughters unfairly in this regard.

Now it's fine, everything is back.

The foolish disciple flipped through those huge volumes in despair, feeling a little dizzy at every glance.

Not to mention that the master whispered in my ear that this was all for your own good, and that I should act quickly and strive to be able to speak many jingles within a year.

"Full of jingles? What does this mean, Master?"

"The secret cannot be revealed. You will know it yourself when the time comes."

Xu Shi was overjoyed. It was so much fun to be a little kid.

"Oh……"

Pan Ling secretly rolled her eyes, suppressed the urge to eavesdrop on her master's thoughts, and prepared to plan carefully where to start learning.

Although she knew that her leisurely life would soon be gone forever, she actually understood her master's approach - Xu Shi had very high expectations of her and was willing to train her as his successor.

Otherwise, he would not have allowed himself to systematically learn such profound knowledge.

With this thought in mind, her depression instantly disappeared.

Seeing that she got into the state so quickly, Xu Shi's face became even more relieved.

To be honest, for him, the biggest gain from this trip to the Hualan Empire was not how many girls he had, or how much land he had conquered, or how many resources he had plundered.

Instead, he gained such a good apprentice.

He even had to admit that Pan Ling might be better than him in many aspects... Apart from anything else, just in terms of studying hard, she was far ahead of him.

Looking back to when I was still in school, I was a complete devil. Apart from being a playboy, where I was far ahead in the subject, I had no other strengths.

This led to some of his shortcomings - he certainly had no problem making some general plans and arrangements, and was also good at manipulating people's hearts, but when it came to specific professional fields, he was completely in the dark.

Of course, it’s not too late to start learning again now, but after careful consideration, Boss Xu still chose a bad one.

Why bother being a master when you can let your apprentice do it?

"You must work hard, my dear disciple. Your master left many regrets because of poor conditions back then. Now I have spent all my efforts to train you. You must not let your master down, understand?"

He expressed his hope for the next generation, and his tone was as earnest as that of a traditional parent.

"Yes, I know, Master."

Pan Ling responded casually, and it took her a while to realize that something was wrong.

Your condition is not good? Which condition is not good?

Does this excuse apply to you?

She always felt like she was being manipulated in some way...but when she raised her head to talk to her master, she found that Xu Shi had disappeared without a trace.

Humph, bad master!

……

Xu Shi slipped away very quickly, but he was not going out to have fun, but he had important business to attend to.

The motorcycle roared to a stop at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and he went straight to find Tang Shuang.

Governor-General Tang was busy at his desk and only looked up when he heard footsteps.

When she saw that the person coming was Xu Shi, her expression didn't change much, but the joy in her eyes could not be faked.

"I miss you."

Xu Shi sat on the table carelessly, with a bit of surprise in his tone, "It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We just came back together yesterday, okay?"

Tang Shuang was amused. Looking at his serious expression, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"As the old saying goes, a day without seeing you feels like a long time away."

Xu Shi had his own reasons. He reached out, lifted her chin and kissed her.

Governor Tang did not resist, and his tense body softened a little in an instant.

The originally serious office space instantly became affectionate.

Just when the two were getting heated, someone came running over, "Sister Tang...ah!"

The person who came was Shen Qin. When he saw this scene, he almost dropped the things in his hands.

Tang Shuang woke up suddenly when he heard this, picked up his clothes, coughed lightly and regained his composure.

"...Am I here at the wrong time?"

Shen Qin came back to his senses, passed her over and looked at Xu Shi, deliberately emphasizing the last syllable of his words, "Brother?"

No way, you came at the right time... Xu Shi complained in his heart, but he still asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

Shen Qin frowned, "I told you before!"

Ok?

Is there such a thing?

Boss Xu tried hard to recall and found that he really had no memory of this, so he looked to Tang Shuang for help.

"Have you really forgotten?"

Tang Shuang was also confused. "Didn't Xiao Qin look for you when she came back? She said she wanted to come to my place to do something, and you agreed at that time."

Really?

With her reminder, Xu Shi finally remembered this.

It seems like this thing did happen...but my mind was definitely not on it at the time, and the so-called agreement was probably just a perfunctory one. No wonder I don't have any impression of it.

But this arrangement is not bad - Shen Qin's ability is not weak, not only as a guard or a fighter. Don't forget that she was once one of the leaders of the "Forgotten". Although she was completely defeated by his men at the time, she is still relatively one of the best.

It’s a pity that after her memory was restored, she was not very interested in other things besides being her own bodyguard, and it could even be said that she was a little resistant.

Maybe it was because the work experience at the Snake Ring was not so good? Even if the memory has been overwritten, there are still some emotions in the subconscious.

In comparison, the Governor's Office might be better - at that time, the consortium was still in power, and when fighting against the "Forgotten", the Governor's Office and the Inspection Bureau were just passing by. Shen Qin was relatively unfamiliar with them, and now he can treat them with a normal attitude.

"...Boss Xu is really a forgetful person."

Tang Shuang joked, and then asked, "Okay, what do you want to see me about?"

She knew very well that Xu Shi certainly did not come all the way here to entertain her. Kissing and hugging were one aspect, but certainly not all.

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

Xu Shi nodded, he just needed to put his ideas on the table.

Whether it is the subsequent overseas expansion plan or the transformation of the school in the city, it is not enough to just discuss it internally. It also needs the help of the Governor's Office to thoroughly publicize it. What the consortium says and does is often done behind the scenes. The Governor's Office is always the speaker in the open. This is also an established rule.

The reason is simple. Compared with the major financial groups, the people of Night Crime City still have a slightly better impression of the Governor's Office. Although it is not much, they have to choose the lesser of two evils.

Anyway, it was like this when there were six major financial groups. Whoever wanted to do something or implement some plan would announce it in the name of the Governor's Office. The former Governor Yue Chizheng was a veteran and naturally would not refuse such a request.

Now that Tang Shuang is in power, the rule remains unchanged - or rather, during the year that she was away, the credibility of the Governor's Office has improved a lot thanks to her efforts.

After all, everyone knew what she was like in the past - if the consortium didn't like this boss, that was the consortium's business. In the minds of the people, it was hard to find someone as impartial as Tang Shuang.

Now that she has become governor, her approval rating has reached a rare high.

Xu Shi curled the corners of his mouth and said, it doesn’t matter, we are all family anyway.

"That's it."

Tang Shuang naturally understood his plan, but she was not very clear about some of the details of the new discussion. However, since it was Xu Shi who proposed it, she naturally would not refuse.
