Besides Xia Wuyou, there was another curious baby at the moment.
Xia Wuyou stayed in the hospital, so the person who came to pick up Xu Shi was naturally the conscientious Miss Su Lin.
As soon as she got in the car, she asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Did the young master talk to Miss Ke'an about anything?"
To be honest, for an elite housekeeper like her, taking the initiative to ask questions is actually a very low-level mistake. No matter how close the relationship is, the truth will not change.
But the situation is different now. There are more and more girls around the young master... So even though she knew what was going on, she still couldn't hold it back.
"Ah, I told her that I was going to torture our Team Leader Xia."
Xu Shi didn't care, stretched out, and tacitly intercepted the same part as Xia Keyan as an answer.
"...Master, you are really interesting and unique."
Su Lin was stunned when she heard this. She said in front of her aunt that she wanted to torture her niece?
Not to mention what kind of serious torture he is talking about... Can I only say that he is worthy of being a young master?
"Then what are you going to do now? Isn't it going to be for me to accompany you to prepare the props?"
Thinking like this, she secretly rolled her eyes and complained softly.
"That's fine if you want."
Xu Shi shrugged and changed the topic without any burden, "But before that, ask Ning Wei for me to see when it is convenient to go to "Quill Pen". "
Although the conversation with Xia Keyan just now turned into a domineering plot like "Woman, you are not allowed to die without my consent", the issues discussed before that should not be underestimated.
However, the food must be eaten one bite at a time and the things must be done one by one. It may be a bit far away to talk about the so-called "unknown enemy" now, and the things in front of him have not been solved yet... Xu Shi knows it in his heart. Compared with before, After a small fight with "Starfire", "Dragon City" is definitely not that easy to deal with.
After all, it is a consortium-level existence with a large territory and a lot of equipment. It also has a lot of "upgraded ones" under its command. Even if the current strength of "Snake Ring" has improved, both sides will lose if they really fight hard.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary to have a back-up and find an ally to accompany him. Why can't "Shark Teeth" be counted on now, and Xie Qingyan, that bitch, always has ill intentions towards him?
Of the remaining two consortiums, "Quill Pen" is of course the first choice, not only because of the blood relationship between him and Wen Shengkui, but also because "Quill Pen" and "Dragon City" already look at each other. Disgusted.
There is not much mention of this in the original work, but this situation does exist - the main reason is that the philosophies of the two consortiums are completely opposite and cannot be peed in the same pot.
The main business of "Quill Pen" is in academic and information preservation. It has never been competitive. At the same time, it is also committed to supporting various academic talents and striving for a more stable, peaceful and prosperous development of the Night Sin City.
"Dragon City" is just the opposite. Located in Vice City, they rely on the gang model to make a living, and their main business is to help the people of Night City do dirty work... In other words, they want Night City to become more and more chaotic, and the more chaotic they are, the more chaotic they will be. There are benefits to be gained.
They also looked down upon the various behaviors of "Quill Pen", treating them as useless hypocrisy.
With this premise, the grandfather and grandson have a common goal.
Of course, the other company "Imaginary Number" is actually not bad, but firstly, their strength is not as good as "Quill Pen". Secondly, because of the "Long Knife Party" incident, there was a little friction between them. During the press conference, Their Shaodong Qi even complained a little to him...
As for matters related to Zuicheng, it is better not to approach them, so as not to create complications.
Besides, I had made an appointment before, so I had to pay a visit to my strange grandpa.
"Mr. Ning sent me an email before, saying you can go anytime."
Su Lin nodded and said, "Just say hello in advance...now?"
"Then now."
Xu Shi didn't want to delay. After confirming that the other party was free now, he prepared some gifts and headed to District 19.
Speaking of which, District 19 is actually a very special area in Night City, and even seems a little out of place compared to other districts.
If you really count, the 19th District and part of the 20th District are private properties under the name of "Quill Pen".
And they did not transform these lands into commercial uses as much as possible like others. Instead, they built many cultural buildings such as concert halls, theaters, museums and libraries.
Gatherings of upper-class people are usually held here, such as the last chip launch.
It can be seen that "Quill" is deliberately maintaining a certain cultural atmosphere so as not to let the city become a desert in this regard.
But unfortunately, even so, the situation is not much better. The fact is that few people will set foot in this place specifically. For most migrant workers, instead of spending time on such things, it is better to spend time in "God's presence" Make a few more copies.
For capitalists, there is no need for this kind of building to exist, and it won’t make much profit... It’s better to turn it into a bar, Chaomeng Hall, or something like that. That’s a good way to make money. We have our own way of entertainment, no. It’s okay to come...
But the land is in other people's hands, so it's hard for them to comment.
The "Quill Pen" group building is also located among these buildings full of literary and artistic atmosphere.
It looks like a manor from the outside. The greening is very good, and it even gives Xu Shi a feeling of a past life. It seems that the "rust fog" has been excluded...
Therefore, even though it was his first time here, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"Director Xu."
Ning Wei, dressed as a butler, was already at the door to greet him and opened the car door for him.
"Mr. Ning."
Xu Shi nodded in greeting, "Can you take me to see Director Wen... my grandpa?"
"You may have to wait a while."
Ning Wei took him to Wen Shengkui's office and arranged him in the living room. "I still have some things to do, it won't be long."
Xu Shi nodded, sat on the sofa and waited quietly, thinking about how he should talk to the other party later.
There was only a wall between the living room and the inner room, and while he was thinking, he heard rustling sounds coming from inside.
oh?
Xu Shi blinked, and with his current level of A-level promotion, he only needed to be a little more serious, and this level of movement could clearly fall into his ears.
Then.
That's what he heard.
"You're a bitch, aren't you? I'll give you some food to see how high your ass is, huh?"
"Okay, you are quite good when you eat so cleanly. Then I will reward you by being touched by me. Aren't you happy... who asked you to lick me!"
"You bitch, you have to let me hit you, right? Doesn't it feel good to be beaten? If not, why is your tail wagging so happily? Come on, come on, wag it again, show me, ah, you're so beautiful... "
…
…
…
Is my grandpa actually like this? !
I didn't understand it, but I was shocked! ——
"Boy, why are you staring at me?"
In the study, Wen Shengkui, who was sitting in a wheelchair, frowned as he looked at Xu Shi, who looked slightly strange.
"...Ah, it's okay."
Xu Shi came back to his senses, smiled and waved his hand, "I just didn't expect that grandpa, you have a hobby of raising pets."
He had to admit that he was a little scared before he came in just now.
In fact, hiding in the golden house and raising sex dolls is one of the favorite ways of Night City bosses to release the dark side of their hearts.
Many people even have special small circles to exchange experiences, exchange, and so on... This is why an existence like "Disge" came into being. If there is demand, there will be a market.
But even so, Xu Shi couldn't connect Wen Shengkui with this hobby.
The main thing is that the old man doesn't look like him - he has a lean and muscular body. Although his legs are disabled, he is still energetic. The look between his eyebrows is also majestic and upright. Even in the original work, he is a relatively positive character...
No matter how you think about it, you can't be that kind of person, right? Contrast between sauce and purple?
As a result, when the door finally opened and he came in, he glanced around the room for a long time but didn't find what he wanted to see. He only saw Wen Shengkui holding a small black dog as long as his forearm in his arms, with wet eyes and a grievance on his face, and he was whimpering. Very cute.
Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake.
...Oh, it turns out I really have a dog.
I thought it was about raising a dog... But if you, the old man, have a dog, then you have a dog. Why do you do that kind of Dirty Talk?
——You really can’t blame me for wearing colored glasses and making you think so messily.
However, Xu Shi would not really say this out loud, so he just cursed in his heart and silently made his choice.
"..."
Wen Shengkui's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself that there is something wrong with your eyes, and the way you looked around as soon as you entered the door is very suspicious.
If I keep a pet, you won't be so fussy, right?
Did you hear something you shouldn't have heard?
Of course he won't keep any sex partners, the old man hates that kind of thing.
And the reason why he talks to the little black dog like that is not because of complications from supernatural powers.
Simply because he named the dog Acheng.
Xu Cheng's sincerity.
It can be seen that the old man still feels resentful towards Father Xu for having had sex with his precious daughter.
However, he didn't want to talk about it in front of Xu Shi, so he just changed the topic, "You... have something to do with me?"
"Last time, grandpa, didn't you ask me to apologize in person?"
Xu Shi calmed down and said, "Of course I can't forget it."
"Also, I have always been grateful for your help in resolving the situation before."
"Oh, you have a conscience."
Wen Shengkui hummed casually, "But it's not a big deal. I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
Really? I do not believe.
Xu Shi rolled his eyes secretly.
Did you really forget that you asked Ning Wei to remind Su Lin specifically?
"But since you are here, I just want to have a few words with you."
Wen Shengkui touched the dog's head and said in a more serious tone, "The attack at the previous press conference was probably not a coincidence, right?"
"Use high-value temptations to actively attract people from Sin City to take action, and then secretly seize the opponent's territory...I really didn't see it, but you are quite capable."
"Everything is for the development of the company."
Xu Shi replied with a smile, not too surprised that Wai Gong revealed the truth.
His method is not perfect, at least it cannot be hidden from a big boss like Wen Shengkui. Didn't Xia Keyan see it too? It was strange that he couldn't see it.
However, judging from the old man's tone, his understanding was not comprehensive. For example, he attributed the "Spark" attack to his coveting of the "Twins", but little did he know that it was just a smoke bomb released to rescue Luo Zhikang.
He may not necessarily pay attention to this kind of thing, and it is true that many crime city gangs have excessive self-awareness. It is reasonable for him to think so.
"Whatever you say."
Wen Shengkui straightened up and reminded, "But since you broke the rules first and harmed the interests of "Dragon City", don't expect others to not use the same means to deal with you. "
There was no blame in his words, but a bit of appreciation.
"When rules are established, they create huge benefits for those who violate them, right?"
Xu Shi nodded, "But grandpa reminded me, that's why I came to you specifically."
"...Want me to help?"
Wen Shengkui narrowed his eyes and said, "I know you didn't come just to express your gratitude."
"There are both, there is no conflict."
Xu Shi did not deny it, "I have to prepare in advance... When the worst happens, I feel at ease if you can help me."
"What good can I do by helping you?"
Mr. Wen said seriously.
"Mr. Yu, I know that "Quill" and "Dragon City" have always been at odds. "
Xu Shi looked into his eyes and said, "If we can work together, it will be good for everyone."
"Yu Zi...we are family members. There is nothing wrong with supporting each other, right?"
"..."
Wen Shengkui remained silent.
Xu Shi's words hit the point. He has indeed been unhappy with "Dragon City" for a long time. It's not that the water in their Night City is not so muddy, and those with the surname Long are not good for social development. The more effective people in Sui City are more than half They were all coerced and lured by him to join the gang, just to fight and kill.
If it weren't for the sake of rules and balance, Xu Shi would have taken action long ago without saying anything.
So the eldest grandson dared to do such a thing. In a sense, he was quite pleased. The younger one was a bit more courageous. He had indeed hidden his own clumsiness before...
but.
"Don't forget that you are Xu Cheng's bastard son. It would be great if you could come, so don't talk about relatives. I don't like to hear it."
"My mother is still your daughter."
Xu Shiwenyan just shrugged, with an expression of "What can I do?" "I can't stop them from giving birth to me, so you can't blame me, right?"
"She's long gone."
The old man hummed, "I severed the father-daughter relationship with your mother a long time ago."
"Then you don't object to me calling you grandpa."
Xu Shi lightly pointed out the loopholes in his logic.
"...You don't have to scream if you don't want to."
Wen Shengkui was speechless. He held back this sentence for a long time, looked at him angrily and said, "I don't necessarily want to admit it yet."
Seeing him like this, Xu Shi felt like laughing for no reason.
He could finally tell that beneath the old man's resolute appearance, there was a bit of arrogance hidden underneath.
Hey, is my grandpa actually like this?
