Not long after, the Governor's Office organized an emergency meeting with not many participants, including Tang Shuang, Xu Shi, Shen Qin, and Lin Yue who came from Sin City.
In the current Night Sin City, Tang Shuang and Lin Yue are the undisputed rulers.
Like Governor Tang, Lin Yue's influence has also been gradually increasing during Xu Shi's absence - her personality is actually very similar to Tang Shuang's, and she is also relatively upright. As a result, the assassin girl who took over the new "Xinghuo" has now become the deputy governor who has the final say.
Yes, the Deputy Governor.
Maybe he didn't realize that they had done this when he was not around, but when he thought about it, it was okay to call her the Queen of Sin City at ordinary times, but he definitely couldn't call her that in an official document, that would be too childish...
"No problem. Mr. Ning also came to me this morning and told me about these things."
After listening to Xu Shi's speech, Lin Yue nodded vigorously, "I have also planned the areas. The next step is to promote this matter in various areas... There is indeed room for improvement in the employment rate in Sin City. I think there will be many people willing to join this plan."
“It would be better if the audit was more strict.”
They are usually very assured when doing things, but this involves the external image of Night Sin City after all, so the reminder must be given.
As for publicity and so on... this is a "virtual" matter. The father and son of the Qi family may not be good at anything else, but this is their specialty.
This is indeed the case. When he was in the Hualan Empire, "Xuanshu" also made a lot of contributions to the affairs of Night Sin City. To exaggerate a little, the rapid development of Night Sin City in the past year or so is inseparable from their help.
Whether we admit it or not, public opinion can always subtly influence people's hearts.
"Well, I know."
The assassin girl nodded, and for a moment she felt a little emotional and sighed unconsciously.
"what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Xu Shi said with concern.
"Nothing, just remembered some...past events?"
Lin Yue blinked and said, "For example...the first time you and I met."
She is quite restrained in front of other people, otherwise she would probably call him master directly.
"Oh?"
Xu Shi was quite interested in this topic. "I'm actually curious, what was your opinion of me at the beginning?"
"I just...think you are an unforgivable villain."
Lin Yue didn't shy away from it, and blushed unconsciously, "You did that kind of thing to me. If you're not a bad person, what are you?"
"Aren't you going to kill me first?"
Xu Shi laughed, "Well, Lin Yue, even you have learned to turn the tables?"
"Lin Yue knows her mistake."
The assassin girl apologized sincerely as if it was a conditioned reflex.
"Oh? Are you planning to accept the punishment?"
Xu Shi joked.
"Well, whatever punishment there is... Lin Yue will just take it."
Lin Yue pursed her lips and cooperated with his bad taste.
But this was also her true feelings. She now obeyed Xu Shi as her master, so she would naturally obey whatever he wanted to do to her.
Looking at the two of them singing the same tune, Tang Shuang on the side couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
To be honest, she and Lin Yue are actually similar. In the beginning, they both thought that Xu Shi was really a piece of shit, a bad guy and a bastard. But now there is no one more annoying than him in the entire Night Sin City.
But it was this guy who built the Night Sin City into what it is today. Not to mention major things like reducing the gap between the rich and the poor, but the current city is indeed much better than before.
If it was really the small workshop of "Xinghuo" that made these, would it be possible to turn out like this? I guess it's unlikely... No, it's completely impossible.
Xu Shi’s personal charm is one thing, but his vision and pattern are also remarkable.
They didn't expect the saying that one should judge by deeds rather than by heart, but the facts have proved everything.
"Sister Lin Yue, are you wrong? If you're not a bad guy, then who is?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but agree, "It's just that she is soft-hearted and can be bullied by you."
"Didn't I bully you?"
Xu Shi was quite surprised and thought to himself, how were you better than her before?
"Oh, why don't you try it again now?"
Tang Shuang had never been seeded before, so naturally she was unwilling to be outdone. She rolled her eyes at her and asked.
"Okay, okay, I won't dare."
Xu Shi was too lazy to expose her and just answered perfunctorily with a smile.
"I'm sorry you don't dare either."
Governor Tang's vanity was satisfied and he snorted complacently.
"Okay, are we done with the business?"
She cleared her throat and said, "It's almost time to get off work. Does Director Xu have time today?"
"How to say?"
"Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"
Tang Shuang smiled and said, "I didn't visit you yesterday because of something. Can I make it up to you today?"
"And Sister Lin Yue and Sister Xiao Qin, are you coming too?"
"……OK."
Of course everyone was happy to stay with Xu Shi and naturally would not object to this proposal.
Xu Shi would not object and agreed immediately.
But then he realized something was wrong.
Whose house are you going to eat at?
Some forgotten memories suddenly began to attack him, making his throat unconsciously dry.
Based on Tang Shuang’s cooking skills... he’ll die, right?
Ahhh, don't do that kind of thing!

Chapter 326 First of all, I didn't mess with any of you
2023-11-28
This was probably the second time Xu Shi was invited by a girl to have dinner at her home. The last time was at Jiang Chengcheng's house.
Even the configuration is surprisingly similar. There were three girls last time and there are three girls this time.
However, in comparison, Tang Shuang's residence was obviously not as good as Jiang Chengcheng's - she no longer had to live in the small apartment under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Bureau, but the residence allocated by the Governor's Office was not too luxurious, and she still had to be honest and upright on the surface...
She was probably the only governor who would actually live in such a place. All of her predecessors had big houses prepared outside. Some even had more than one.
"Would you like to move in with me?"
Seeing this, Xu Shi shook her hand and whispered with emotion in his tone, "My house is quite big and not too far from the Governor's Mansion. When I get home tired from work, I can go straight to sleep. It's no problem."
"That's not necessary."
Tang Shuang smiled and said, "It's just a place to live. It doesn't make much difference to me."
Hearing her say this, Xu Shi felt a little emotional.
She is just that kind of person. She doesn't have much pursuit for quality of life and devotes all her attention to work. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to ask for it. With her current status and position, what kind of food, clothing, housing and transportation can she not get?
If she really loves luxury, then that is not the Tang Shuang I have in mind.
"Besides, there are quite a few people in Director Xu's family. I won't be used to it if I go there, right?"
Tang Shuang added, with a hint of sourness in her tone.
This is her side as a young daughter - after all, no one wants to share their man with others every day, and she is no exception.
On the contrary, she and Jiang Chengcheng were surprisingly consistent on this point. She didn't need to stick to him like a dog-skin plaster every day, right? It wasn't like they were far away from each other. She could always invite him to her place to be alone. That would be a different experience.
Of course Xu Shi understood what she meant, and was quite shamelessly happy about it.
To be honest, he also likes this feeling of changing taste. It's like having a red flag flying at home and colorful flags fluttering outside... He is undoubtedly a scumbag!
"But if I can have some free time in the future, I can consider other things."
Meeting his complicated eyes, Tang Shuang stood on tiptoe, held his face and said, "I quite like the atmosphere of Hualan Empire. When I retire, I will build a farm like that and try a different feeling."
When she said this, her expression was full of longing - she is a workaholic, but being able to stay with her loved one is also one of her current pursuits.
Although it is unlikely to have such hope in the short term...Now we are in our twenties, which is the best time to show our talents.
This is even more true for Governor Tang, who has great ambitions in her heart. She would not be happy if you asked her to retire and give up now.
However, when Lin Yue and Shen Qin heard this, their eyes suddenly became sparkling.
It can be seen that they yearn for such a life more than Tang Shuang.
Maybe this is the difference between being planted with seeds and not being planted?
As he was talking, Governor Tang had already put on an apron and entered the kitchen. He waved at Xu Shi and said, "Why don't you come and help?"
"How can you ask for help when you are a guest?"
Xu Shi smiled and joked with her.
"Are you coming?"
Tang Shuang glared and showed some of the dignity of a governor.
"Come on, come on."
Xu Shi was overjoyed and agreed with a smile.
After all, he was once a temporary worker in the Inspection Bureau. How could he refuse his boss's request?
Lin Yue and Shen Qin were tactful enough not to follow them and went to the living room to chat.
"By the way, I went to the courtroom yesterday to check on He Yuxia's situation."
Tang Shuang said as she methodically processed the ingredients, her tone becoming more serious, "The situation...is not very good."
"Is she stupid too?"
Xu Shi immediately understood and frowned unconsciously.
"almost?"
Tang Shuang nodded, "Anyway, it must be the same as your good daughter, who was manipulated by the "law of heaven" in some way. Now she is just locked up in the cell and drawing, and she doesn't say a word other than that."
"I have arranged specific tests. I hope he is just pretending to be stupid and not really losing his memory or becoming autistic."
"hope so."
Xu Shi was not surprised to hear this, as this was something he had expected - "Heaven's Law" must have left a backup plan for every "supervisor", plus they were already observing his every move. Now that Xu Ying was blanked out, as the only breakthrough point, it was normal for He Yuxia to be treated like this.
The only thing you don't have to worry about is that she will resist. Xu Ying's memory was erased artificially, and He Yuxia's abilities had been blocked long ago. The power of Ma Liang's magic brush will not work. If she wants to paint, let her paint. She won't be able to draw anything good.
"In fact, it doesn't really matter whether she is interrogated or not."
Boss Xu chopped off the fish head in his hand with a knife. "After all, we haven't missed out on much that we should know. I didn't expect her to know everything about the 'laws of nature'. It would be better if she could confirm it, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't."
"I am a little worried."
Tang Shuang's tone was not without worry. "By doing this, 'Tianli' is obviously trying to block all the channels through which you can obtain their information. It is not a good thing for the enemy to be in the dark while we are in the light..."
When she was the director of the Inspection Bureau, she had been troubled by this situation many times. Although they were well-equipped, the gangs in Sin City were all very slippery. Catching them was always the most difficult task.
"Aren't we taking the initiative now?"
Now it was time for Xu Shi to reassure her. "It doesn't matter if we lose one or two 'Supervisors'. We can just go to other areas and continue to catch them. If 'Heaven's Law' is really able to wipe them all out, it would be like cutting off one's own arm for them."
"Besides..."
"And what?"
"And don't you think that their doing this is actually a sign of weakness?"
