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

Su Lin was still a little worried about this. The old man had been scheming all his life and he might not be unaware of Xu Shi's intentions. If he took leave or declined due to illness, wouldn't the young master's plan fail?

"Don't worry, he can't refuse."

Xu Shi smiled and shook his head, "Even if he knew it was a trick, he would still take a gamble."

Anyway, there are only a few possibilities. If Lin Wenhua really refused as Su Lin said, it indirectly reflects that he is really no longer suitable to continue holding such an important position. If you can't rely on him for anything, then don't stick around. Wouldn't it be better to just retire honestly?

That would further weaken it. If it keeps silent, it will die in silence.

On the contrary, only by taking on this task can he possibly regain his reputation and position in the company. From an outsider's perspective, Xu Shi has no reason to touch him anymore. The old man is still strong, so you have to continue to use him.

or……

In short, it is better to assign such a task to Lin Wenhua at this critical juncture than not to accept it.

"We'll just have to see how he reacts then."

Xu Shi had no worries about this, not to mention that such an operation had another benefit.

Jiang Chengcheng tried to get away from it as much as possible and then have some free time.

Then.

"I'm going to ask you, Chengcheng, to lead the team to start the most important part of the "Extreme Limit Plan"."

The book club group is almost full, and a new one will be opened in the next two days.

Chapter 131 I Don’t Like Bald Heads

Jiang Chengcheng is a human being, not a sleepless machine.

Or maybe the machine still needs maintenance, but she worked day and night like she did before, taking on most of the engineering development work by herself, which can be said to be very hard work.

If so many things were really put on her at the same time, the second phase of research and development, the false flattery with Lin Wenhua, plus a special weapon... Not to mention whether she was willing or not, Xu Shi would not agree to it.

"As we all know, working so hard will cause hair loss. If you lose too much hair, you will become bald or even bald."

Xu Shi bluntly pointed out the pros and cons, "And I really don't like bald heads, so Jiang Chengcheng, you should think it through."

Hearing this, both Jiang Chengcheng and Su Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At first glance it sounds like a teasing, but in fact it just shows concern. The fact is that Xu Shi has told Jiang Chengcheng more than once that there is no need to work so hard. It is not really the only one in the engineering department, and there is no need to do everything personally.

“…Can I wear a wig?”

Jiang Chengcheng also responded with a joke, but she felt warm inside.

She was completely devoted to Xu Shi, and the fact that he cared so much about her was naturally the icing on the cake.

"Pull down."

Xu Shi didn't buy it and warned him seriously, "For the project related to the specialized reinforcement machinery, pick a few members you can trust and don't let any news out."

For things like the second-phase chips, he can give them up at any time, or even announce them as bait or bargaining chips.

But special weapons are absolutely not an option. Technology of this level must be firmly controlled in one's own hands no matter what.

Jiang Chengcheng agreed with this deeply and, knowing the importance of the matter, he also became serious.

In fact, from another perspective, Xu Shi made such arrangements so that she could focus on this aspect without distraction, so that the best steel could be used on the blade.

"I see."

She took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, "Then... let me record your data first so that I can conduct more targeted research."

Unlike specialized weapons and general-purpose blessing props, this thing needs to be tailor-made. You must first select a target, and then use it as a benchmark to build a model and analyze the blessing method to create the most suitable object.

As for Jiang Chengcheng, she also hoped that the first person to benefit from this project would be Xu Shi, as she had said before.

"walk slowly."

Xu Shi did not object to this. Being the first experimenter did not mean any risks. Even if there were risks, it would not be now. It was just a simple data recording, not going on the operating table to slice people.

This process doesn't take long. In less than half an hour, Jiang Chengcheng got the data he needed - height and weight, personal mental strength limit, stress resistance limit, including detailed records of superpowers, methods to control complications, etc.

To be honest, although there is no danger, this kind of thing should be handed over to someone you trust. Once it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it will be a definite death warrant.

This is also why Xu Shi would never let Xie Qingyan know that he could not trust his fiancée. At least he would not expose his weaknesses to her.

As for whether the dog woman has similar considerations and plans, that is her business.

“…That’s all.”

After sorting out Xu Shi's information, Jiang Chengcheng looked at Su Lin again, "Shall we make a record for you, too, A'lin? With more data samples, it will be easier for me to develop."

"Thanks a lot."

Su Lin would not refuse either. She recognized her best friend's professional level. Besides, the young master had already taken the lead, so what did she have to worry about?

And it must be said that she is also very interested in special weapons. Even just hearing the description is exciting... Who doesn't want their special abilities to be improved to a higher level?

Especially for an A-level "Upgrader" like her, being stuck here and unable to break through to S is actually a very troublesome thing.

"By the way, Chengcheng, you haven't awakened your superpowers yet, right?"

Xu Shi watched Jiang Chengcheng measuring her data with great interest, but suddenly she thought of something and asked casually.

This is also a cliché.

It can be said that he has been thinking about this matter since he conquered Jiang Chengcheng. As I said, if he is so awesome without awakening his superpowers, then he must be so awesome after awakening his superpowers, right?

But this matter has been delayed for a long time and has never been accomplished. Originally, it was because of her mental instability, but now there is no such concern anymore... The fact is that I didn't urge her, and she didn't mention it herself.

"...I can handle it without my powers."

Jiang Chengcheng was finishing up Su Lin. Hearing this, she froze for a moment before responding, "Does Mr. Xu want me to awaken my superpowers? If so, I'll go and awaken them."

"...It's been delayed for so long anyway, there's no need to rush."

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows and waved his hand indifferently, "Just finish the work of the "Exceeding Limit Plan" first."

"Well, I'll go back first then?"

Jiang Chengcheng sorted out the information with a smile, then stood up and left.

Looking at her back, Xu Shi seemed to be thinking about something.

"Master, don't blame Chengcheng. She... must be scared."

Su Lin didn't want to say anything, but seeing the uncertain expression on Xu Shi's face, she couldn't help but speak up for her best friend, "Awakening her superpowers may not be a good thing for her."

"Who do you think I am?"

Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her unhappily, "Are you trying to piss me off on purpose? Forget about your salary this month."

Of course, he would not blame Jiang Chengcheng for this. Instead, he understood her psychological activities very well.

After all, the instability of the "Upgraders" cannot be ignored - this thing is not the beginning of the path to immortality, and it is not like awakening can prolong life and keep youth forever.

On the contrary, with complications right in front of us, it would be a lie to say that we are not afraid. As I said before, awakening crappy superpowers is not a problem. The problem is that after awakening crappy superpowers, we will be tortured by complications.

If he hadn't already known his own abilities, he would have felt uneasy as well.

Especially after what Jiang Chengcheng had gone through before, although she has come out of the haze now, it has only been a few months after all. If there really were to be complications, she certainly wouldn't want that to happen.

She was really afraid that she would lose this hard-earned beauty.

Thinking about it this way, the reason why she worked so hard was actually to prove to herself that I can do it well even without super powers.

Ugh.

Xu Shi shook his head with great pain.

That's why he was so concerned about Shen Qin's possible "dual superpowers".

If it was really implanted... maybe there wouldn't be this problem.

"Okay, let's do it one by one."

He fell back in his chair and sighed, "Let me give the order first. Move up the time for this month's regular meeting."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 132 Please, Uncle Lin!

Jiang Chengcheng was worried and afraid, but some people had no less worries than she did.

Shen Qin was also full of worries at this moment, of course because of the secret about herself.

Now she has successfully taken up the position and has established a foothold in the "Snake Ring".

But the bad thing was the brief encounter between me and Xu Shijian during the job interview.

Her condition was not good at the time, but when the other party took the opportunity to help her, a flash of strangeness in her mind made her keenly aware that this guy must be trying to influence her with his ability.

However, she was prepared for this. Her brother's experience had given her a lot of useful information. For example, Xu Shi's ability should also be mental influence.

Mental intervention is not unsolvable before it is completely completed. At least if she takes precautions in advance, she can make it ineffective with some effort.

But she did not act rashly. Instead, she was cautious and allowed the other party's abilities to develop in her body for the time being. This would allow Xu Shi to relax his vigilance, and at the right time, this would be a fatal move.

That wasn't where her worries lay.

What she was really worried about was whether Xu Shi was aware that he possessed two superpowers. The situation was urgent at the time and her response was relatively hasty. With his intelligence, he might not be completely unaware of it.

In fact, a better way would be to embed some means to prevent self-healing in advance, so that it can be avoided perfectly... But in this way, "Blood Burning Liberation" will also be affected, and she can't distinguish the two abilities clearly.

If she really did that, she might not even pass the interview... and as the leader of a clan, showing such a low level would only make people suspicious.

But I should be able to explain it after taking some medicine. I just need to find a chance to confirm it... Shen Qin comforted herself in her heart.

But this kind of difficult life is really uncomfortable, and she still feels very heavy in her heart.

"Deputy Team Leader Nan, don't be distracted."

At this moment, Xia Wuyou's reminder sounded in his ears.

"…Sorry, Team Leader Xia, I didn't get enough rest last night."

Shen Qin came back to his senses and quickly put on an embarrassed and apologetic smile.

"That's no reason for you to be distracted."

Xia Wuyou didn't give her face, and his tone was a little more reprimanding, "Although it's just security work for the board of directors, you still have to be alert."

"Yes."

Shen Qin humbly accepted the advice and straightened his body quickly.

But she was quite unhappy.

Logically speaking, after successfully passing the interview, the appointment as "Deputy Team Leader of Field Group 3" was neither good nor bad for her.

On the one hand, this job is not too busy. When there is no mission, the field team just needs to be on standby... plus they still have a little power in their hands, so it is not as difficult as imagined to get in touch with the core areas.

But the leader of Group Three happened to be Xia Wuyou. She had no good feelings towards this woman at all, and it was really suffocating to work under her.

She didn't know whether Xu Shi had made such an arrangement intentionally, but if she thought about it carefully, it shouldn't be the case. The vacancy of deputy team leader of Group 3 had always existed and it wasn't a position dug specifically for her.

And Shen Qin was very sure that her identity had never been exposed. No matter how she thought about it, Xu Shi couldn't possibly know that she was actually Shen He's sister, right? Even if he really became suspicious or paid special attention to her, it could only be because of her identity as the leader of the "Forgotten".

Forbearance, forbearance.

The two's job today was very simple, they were responsible for the security of the board of directors. To put it bluntly, they just had to poke at the door.

The meeting behind the door has already started in full swing.

As a director of the group, Xu Shi is enthusiastically planning the company's next few plans, such as the acceptance and resettlement of the "forgotten", the benefits of the "overlimit plan", future development in this area, and so on.

"So, while we're working with Prism to launch the second phase, I also want to develop some derivative products on our own."

He said seriously, "Manager Jiang has already done some work in this regard, and I will arrange a special project team to take charge of it."

Others had no objection to this.

Everyone knows that this Mr. Xu is completely different from the one he was a few months ago. Now he has the final say in the company, and this is not a stupid move. All we have to do is applaud and agree.

The fact is that most shareholders don't want to take care of actual affairs at all. They are happy with dividends. As for the rest... just take sides according to the wind.
