Xu Shi's answer was both unexpected and reasonable.
"Whether Long Tianding is sincere or fake, if it really opens schools and other industries in Sin City, it will be a good thing for Night Sin City."
He explained sincerely, "What's the saying? Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships?"
This may not be appropriate here, but the truth is this.
Crime City and Night City compete on equal terms, and they are equally divided in terms of size of territory. However, the various census data are really not the same - the education rate is only one aspect, including life expectancy, environmental issues, and the cliche GDP. To say it is a big difference can only be said to be a world of difference.
This is inseparable from the model of Zuicheng itself. Under the influence of gang culture, most people in Zuicheng have no choice but to join gangs if they want to survive. Coupled with the long-term confrontation with Night City, other The method is also slightly despised by the people of Zuicheng.
Just like that movie paragraph, Mom, I want to study hard and go to college. Great, son, go to college and develop all my classmates into our gang!
Essentially deformed.
Xu Shi did not deny the statement that "existence is reasonable". It had become an unspoken rule for the bosses of Night City to hire gangsters to do dirty work. He himself used Ding Jun's people to do He Laosan... But in the final analysis, The eleven districts of Suicheng all have this kind of virtue, and it will always be a hidden danger.
The three evils of pornography, gambling, and drug are deeply rooted, and the consequences are self-evident... I must mention one more thing here. The harm of the so-called "pornography" is actually often reflected in the aspects of "human trafficking" and "forcing girls into prostitution", rather than in a narrow sense. "Doing anything will only hurt yourself".
The biggest example is what happened to Lin Yue. Who wants their relatives and friends to suddenly disappear, only to see their broken and miserable bodies ravaged to death when they meet again?
The same goes for Gu Yi. Little Black Rabbit is also a stranger in Sin City, and his experience may not be as tragic as that of the little assassin sister, but he can still see these shortcomings if he sees the big from the small.
Only those with vested interests are those at the top of the gangs, and ordinary people only have to endure the hardships.
And this kind of trend will affect Night City, and no one can be immune to it... Youdao is that if Sin City is bad, Night City will be bad. After all, there is a market only if there is demand. Where does the demand come from? Are you not from Night City yet...
Especially now that there is an additional group of "forgotten people". You must know that there may be a shortage of highly skilled talents in any group, but there will never be a shortage of bad people. "Dragon City" recruits people with no scruples to expand its capacity. Others He wants the garbage that people don't want, which will inevitably make Sin City even more smoky.
Anyway, Xu Shi didn't want to see things turn out like this. Even if he didn't have any sympathy, if such a big and good place in Sin City was just used to this extent, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?
Not to mention that Longtian Dinglian didn't contact him, wasn't he himself trying to stabilize the other party?
What's more, he knew in his heart that the old man must also have this intention. If he had such an idea, the other party was probably more pure than him... Wasn't the previous conflict between "Quill Pen" and "Dragon City" because of this? Now that the archenemy is taking the initiative to show his kindness, it would be foolish not to accept the offer.
One thing to say, judging from what grandpa did, he was a serious and upright character...
Xu Shi secretly admired him in his heart.
Thinking of this, Wen Shengkui asked him what he thought. In fact, it was not asking for advice, but more like a reminder to prepare himself.
Of course, I can't answer randomly because of this. Do you dare to say that the old man has no intention of taking the exam? Don't be naive.
"...Boy, what you said is interesting."
Sure enough, after a short silence, Wen Shengkui nodded seriously, his approval was beyond words, and he was obviously very satisfied with his grandson's answer.
Frankly speaking, he was unwilling to give up such an opportunity. The chaos in Sin City was indeed one of his worries, and that worry was not false... In other words, Xu Shi's answer could not change his decision.
However, he still asked one more question, "If I really shake hands with Long Tianding and make peace, won't you worry?"
"What's there to worry about?"
Xu Shi shook his head easily, "I don't care whether this is a good thing or not. Isn't it said that there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests? If Long Tianding doesn't look for grandpa, he will also look for someone else. From this point of view, I have to thank you. , at least tell me."
This is true.
The intrigues among the six major financial groups have never stopped. Today you can laugh and talk happily, but tomorrow they may stab you in the back. In essence, it still depends on how you can get more benefits.
For example, now that the "snake ring" is in the spotlight, everyone will naturally make a fuss about it. But if someone comes up with a better thing, I'm afraid it will be a different situation.
As for your gratitude to the old man, that's true. Whether you think about it or not is one thing, and whether others say it or not is another thing.
To put it bluntly, even if I don't tell you, you can't say anything. Not everyone can be as upright as Wen Shengkui. I do have to do it, but you should also be prepared.
From this point of view, his attitude can be seen. After all, the previous ice-breaking has worked, and the relationship between grandfather and grandson is gradually getting warmer. Otherwise, the devil will care about you.
When Wen Shengkui heard this, the approval in his eyes was even greater.
The previous things had changed his mind a lot, but today, when he talked about such a relatively acute issue in person, Xu Shi showed confidence and structure that made him appreciate it even more.
Moreover, listening carefully to Xu Shi's words has another meaning - there is no eternal ally. This is a disguised way of telling him that whether he will cooperate with Long Tianding to make peace has nothing to do with whether the needle is aimed at me, Xu Shi. When it's time to fall out, do it, don't give him any shame...
Tsk tsk, what a great grandson!
As expected of my Wen family.
Wen Shengkui really likes his eldest grandson's ruthless and ruthless character. He looks light and airy, but in fact he has thought of everything. He doesn't have to worry about him being too stubborn and getting into trouble. This kid has definitely thought about it. Okay, how to deal with Longtian Cauldron...
However, I like him, but he was angry in face, "There are no eternal allies... You mean that one day, maybe you will join others to deal with me, the old man, for some reason?"
"We are not allies."
Xu Shi said seriously, "We are family."
…
"...who is family to you."
Wen Shengkui paused for a moment and refused to admit it, but he couldn't hide his smile at all, "Don't be so pretentious here, I won't do that."
"Yes, yes, grandpa taught you a lesson."
Xu Shi responded again and again like a hob, "I have some connections in Sin City. If you start cooperating with "Dragon City", I can also provide help. "
"I want you to be attentive?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him, "But since you are so sincere... I will accept it reluctantly."
Xu Shi laughed like crazy in his heart.
It can only be said that although Tsundere has withdrawn from the environment, the Tsundere old man will not withdraw from the environment. It is completely understandable that he is still stuck in the last version at his age.
Gu Yi listened quietly to the side. On the surface, she looked quite elegant, but in fact, her mind was a mess.
She only thought that the conversation between the grandfather and grandson was quite interesting, but she couldn't tell what the specific meaning was. There were so many twists and turns in one sentence... Anyway, she couldn't keep up with their rhythm.
So, Xu bastard, why did you bring me here? Why don’t you have some time to play the game and pass the missions?
It seemed that all she could do was listen quietly. It was always right not to speak, right?
Then I pick up the teacup and take a sip from time to time. It tastes pretty good. What is this? Oh, tea, take another sip...
But it happened that the grandfather and grandson were chatting about each other, and they talked about her.
"It seems that your manager Gu is very introverted?"
Wen Shengkui looked at the little black rabbit who was drinking tea mechanically, with a bit of doubt in his expression.
He couldn't be too wrong about people. He felt that this little girl was not a lady, but why did she act so reserved?
The old man knew nothing about his overbearing domineering power.
"It's okay. She's not like this usually. She's quite lively."
Xu Shi smiled, "But the child is young, so I will bring her to visit you for a long time and experience the cultural atmosphere of "quill pen". "
As he spoke, he patted Gu Yi and motioned her to follow his words and put on her grandpa's hat.
"...Ahhhh, right, right."
Miss Black Rabbit calmed down and responded hurriedly, knowing that she could not escape this hurdle.
Fortunately, she understood what Xu Shi meant, and she could still handle the propositional composition. Well, it was very simple.
But how to praise...
Gu Yi quickly glanced around, and finally locked his eyes on the words hanging on the wall behind the desk.
You can tell by looking at the signature that it was written by the old man himself and framed.
"I, I have always been interested in literary things..."
Miss Black Rabbit organized her words, cleared her throat and said, "Just like this word, it's good."
"Oh? What's so good about it?"
The flattery seemed to have hit the right spot, Wen Shengkui asked with interest.
"Just, it's very good...the dragon is flying and the phoenix is dancing? So powerful? The artistic conception is very deep?"
Gu Yi searched for relevant words, "This should say... Fried Fried Center? Ah, is Chairman Wen going to enter the catering industry..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Shi grabbed her and gave her a chestnut in front of her face.
"That's called having a clean heart!"
For a long time, everyone was numb, and he lowered his voice and explained.
Hey guys, can you pick an area that you are good at? You have to challenge yourself at this time, right?
Why didn't you talk about the cafeteria?
The old man was also embarrassed. It was the first time that the 75-year-old man was harassed by the 21-year-old Miss Gu Yi. He didn't know how to answer the question.
In the end, Xu Shi regained his composure and smoothed things over, "Don't be like her, Grandpa Ha. This kid is from Suicheng. It's normal if he can't recognize cursive writing. Or I support your cooperation with "Dragon City", right?" "
"...Hahaha, I don't blame her."
Wen Shengkui laughed when he heard this, "You are right. From a glance, the problem of Sin City is indeed urgent."
"But this little girl is quite interesting. If you really want to learn this, you can come to my place often and I will teach you how to write?"
"oh……"
Gu Yi lowered her head and replied, her eyes searching for which crack in the ground it would be more comfortable to get into.
"Thank you very much. Why don't you quickly say thank you, Director Wen?"
Xu Shi laughed and stopped continuing the topic. Showing timidity once can fool people, but showing too much will really make people disgusted...
"By the way, I didn't seem to see Miss He Er when I came here today?"
He started a new topic, "I was quite surprised to see her last time at your place."
"What's the surprise? You kid don't even know this?"
Wen Shengkui snorted, "That child has been studying here for a long time. It has been many years now. You don't know. It only means that you don't care about your grandpa, me, or your family at all? Save it."
Where do I know where to go... Xu Shi felt ashamed, but he really didn't pay attention to these things before, and he wouldn't have written such details in the original work.
But should I say it or not, why don’t you sever ties with my mother? Don't blame me alone!
"You are heartless anyway."
The old man refused to spare him, "Yuxia is your elder in terms of seniority. If you are serious about it, don't mess with seniority... As for her, she said she went out to collect news recently, and I didn't care much about her."
Get out of here, it’s impossible!
Xu Shidaishi did not accept such an arrangement.
Not because of what He Yuxia did, but because of this, wouldn't He Laosan become his uncle?
No, beat me, beat me!
"She went alone? Is there any danger?"
He avoided the question and expressed casual concern.
"Wherever there is danger, she is still the eldest lady of "Shark Teeth". If that old man He Jiayuan refuses to recognize her, her safety will be guaranteed. "
Wen Shengkui was not worried.
Xu Shiyi thought about it, and it was true. With a status like He Yuxia's, daily security was done openly and covertly. I only needed to eat, drink and have fun.
Thinking about it this way, he still felt a little melancholy.
That was also what I looked like.
After chatting for a while, Xu Shi took Gu Yi, said goodbye to Wen Shengkui and prepared to go home.
"Are you leaving now?"
Mr. Wen was a little dissatisfied and asked reluctantly, "Speaking of which, didn't you say you wanted to bring a pet to show me? How come you forgot about this?"
The little black dog on the side whined cooperatively, seeming to be disappointed that he didn't see his new friend.
"Pet? When will we get... hmm?"
Gu Yi felt dizzy. As soon as she finished speaking, she was dragged away by Xu Shi with a forced smile, "I came in a hurry, I will do it next time."
Didn’t this give you insight?
Not only is he a little puppy, but he is also a cute and cute illiterate puppy!
