It feels really good to eat secretly while carrying someone behind your back.
Early the next morning, Xu Shi woke up from a strange bed with Jiang Chengcheng in his arms. His first reaction was to find a cigarette to smoke.
It was really a good release.
"Do you feel better?"
Jiang Chengcheng had also woken up long ago, stretched out his little hand and rubbed circles on his chest, "I feel like you have accumulated a lot."
Xu Shi couldn't refute, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly. He had indeed accumulated a lot of pressure recently, and he had something to do... He believed Jiang Chengcheng meant the same thing, but your words could easily cause ambiguity and lead to bad education. My little friend, you dirty girl.
"Is there anything you want today? If not, why don't you stay with me?"
Jiang Chengcheng didn't care, she just wanted to stay in Xu Shi's arms for a while longer.
"...Really, I have to go to the city hall for a meeting."
Xu Shi smiled apologetically, "Several major consortiums have made an appointment to negotiate a solution to this chaos as soon as possible."
It sounds a little hasty, but we don't want to have long nights and dreams. The blood on the streets has not yet dried, which does not affect everyone's sharing of the fruits of victory.
Xu Shi also meant the same thing, but it was not for anything else, but more to put Tang Shuang on the shelf. Anyway, apart from the four major consortiums, only the Governor of the City Hall can serve on the table. Are you coming?
"All right."
Jiang Chengcheng pursed his lips, a little disappointed but also understanding, "How about we go after breakfast? I'll make it for you. What do you want to eat?"
"Just plain, two fried eggs with bread, brown on one side?"
"I'll fry three of them for you and make up for it."
Jiang Chengcheng kissed him and got up to make breakfast.
Feeling the residual warmth left by the girl, Xu Shi sighed inwardly.
Should I say that she is really suitable as a lover? Nephrite is warm and considerate, and she can always provide a little stimulation from time to time... The key is that she is very content, right? There is no need to worry about whether she will compete for favor or what.
Shouldn't it be necessary? She is so good...
Um.
Regardless of whether Jiang Chengcheng is well-behaved or not, there is someone who must have been unexpectedly well-behaved today.
"Hey, good morning. Have you eaten?"
After breakfast, I came to the city hall. Xu Shi met the energetic Xie Qingyan outside. The dog woman smiled broadly and greeted her warmly.
"It seems that our Director Xu didn't have a good rest... Should we postpone the meeting for two days?"
Enthusiasm is enthusiasm, but there is also a strong sense of teasing in it, not only for his nominal fiancé, but also for Su Lin next to him.
The fact is that Director Su didn't get a good night's sleep either, but she had to accompany him for such a meeting, and even had to go to Jiang Chengcheng's place to pick up his young master... It felt a bit miserable no matter how I thought about it.
Especially now that others have misunderstood her, she doesn't know what to say. Is it possible that she still needs to explain? I could only lower my head and say nothing.
"Okay."
Xu Shi smiled and teased back, "I see Qingyan that you are resting well... Wouldn't it be much easier if you don't do things behind your back with little intentions?"
"It seems so."
Xie Qingyan was surprised and did not argue with him, but agreed a little aggrievedly, "Why, in your eyes, I'm just someone who can do little tricks behind your back?"
"I didn't say that."
Xu Shi spread his hands, looking extremely innocent.
"roll."
Xie Qingyan gave him a roll of eyes.
In fact, she may be in a better mood than she was in the past. After all, "Prism" is a real winner this time - how can medical support and other things consume energy in a head-on battle? But the benefits are not lacking at all.
That's why she didn't want to quarrel with Xu Shi. There was nothing wrong with being a smooth-haired kitten for a few days... Even if Xu Shi was angry and angry, just let him blame him, just pretend that he didn't hear her.
But she also had to admit that she couldn't help teasing the other person purely because of jealousy.
This matter is difficult to describe - Director Xie Da thinks that after being the president of the consortium for so many years, his heart has become as cold as a scalpel, but during this period of time, his mentality when facing Xu Shishi has become more and more weird.
If he was really a rotten dude, Xie Qingyan wouldn't think anything of it even if he had a hundred girls to hang out with. But this guy is getting better and better now, and he has even reached the peak without knowing it, and she It’s hard to turn a blind eye to each other’s private lives anymore.
After all, she has the status of "Xu Shi's fiancée", and she is even more unhappy when she sees him being affectionate with other girls.
But it seems even weirder when you say that you stopped me verbally. You didn't bother with it at all before... Wouldn't this make you look a bit cheap?
Um……
Now is simply not the time to dwell on this, so Xie Qingyan did not continue, but said something more serious, "Can you leave Boss He to me? That guy dares to steal everything, and I want to take care of him myself."
"No problem, Qi Maoyang is still there, you can just go and ask for it."
Xu Shi was indifferent to this, but felt sympathy for He Yuzhao's upcoming encounter.
Although he hadn't paid much attention to it, he knew very well that the dog woman's methods of becoming cruel were not ordinary. At least the one, two or three times mentioned in the original work were quite explosive. Looking at her secretly clenching her teeth, Boss He would definitely not be able to please her. good.
In other words, women have the most poisonous hearts.
"That's it, thank you then."
The poisonous woman smiled sweetly and said, "It's not just me who wants to thank you, there are others who want to thank you."
"Um?"
Before Xu Shi could react, he saw Xie Qingyan carrying Ye Shanshan out from behind.
"This is?"
Xu Shi was confused and listened to the little curly hair talking intermittently for a long time before he understood what was going on.
The co-author is also a "God's Presence" enthusiast, and some of her thoughts have been unknowingly affected by Shen He. If Xu Shi hadn't taken action to smash the other party's plan, I'm afraid she would have followed the others on the street yesterday to cause chaos. go.
However, it was from her that Xie Qingyan learned that Xu Shi actually hid such a skill - the fact was that Xia Ke'an's prophecy had not been told to outsiders at all, and until now, no one knew who saved them.
Ye Shanshan didn't know at first that she was trapped in the virtual world because of fishing at work... She only realized it belatedly after she regained consciousness.
As for how he discovered it, in general it was similar to Shen He. He noticed the other person's iconic evil smile, and then realized who this guy was.
"Oh, it turns out you also play "God's Arrival". "
Xu Shi waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a little effort. It's not just you who can save Secretary Ye."
"But I still have to thank you..."
Ye Shanshan lowered her head and pointed at her fingers, her tone full of shyness, "I used to have some prejudices against you, Dong Xu, but please don't mind..."
Because of the "victim consciousness implantation", she actually didn't dislike Xu Shi very much, but "not hating" and "gratitude" are two different concepts after all.
She even dared not look at him directly, only to realize that this guy was actually quite handsome, handsome and evil at the same time...
"Okay, okay, then...you're welcome?"
Xu Shi really didn't care, but this attitude towards Little Curly Hair was also very useful, "Speaking of which, I also have something to thank you for, for example... Chief Song?"
"If Chief Song hadn't understood the righteousness, things wouldn't have been so smooth, right?"
This is true. Do you still remember when Yu Xingchuan reported that some people in the riot outside the city rebelled in advance?
That group of people were Song Chen's old men, so naturally they would not be as obsequious to Shen He's orders as the other two families. Song Chen had already greeted them, and when the time was right, he took out his bayonet and stabbed his companion in the back. .
Although looking at the overall situation, these may be considered insignificant details, but a perfect victory is composed of countless such details.
"No, Director Xu, you praise me too much."
Of course Song Chen was also there, not only as a "subordinate of Xie Qingyan" but also as a "representative of the Forgotten Ones". Hearing this, he quickly bowed and bowed his hands, and responded with a very humble smile.
"How can it be a compliment? These are all true words."
Xu Shi shook his head, feeling that this guy was a little too forceful, but he still said a few more polite words, "If those two people could know the general situation as well as Chief Song, there wouldn't be such a bloodshed in Night Sin City. It happened, right?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Song Chen strongly agreed, and even though he got an advantage, he still behaved, "There is indeed something wrong with their thinking. As a former companion, I am also responsible for not noticing it earlier. It's really sad to think about it now."
This statement made everyone laugh, and the air suddenly became cheerful.
By the time a few people arrived at the conference room, the remaining parties had already arrived - the "imaginary number" was that Chairman Qi Kang personally attended the meeting, which fully reflected the importance they attached to this matter.
"Quill" was different. Mr. Wen did not come, but appointed Ning Wei to attend in his place.
This is not to say that "Quill Pen" doesn't pay attention to this, it's just because Wen Shengkui was too exhausted in yesterday's events and was unable to come in person due to illness.
Everyone understood this, and Ning Wei's status was not low either. Although he was only the housekeeper's secretary in name, anyone who knew the inside story knew that without considering Xu Shi's situation, the future successor of "Quill Pen" would It's just a choice between Ning Wei or He Yuxia.
In addition, He Yuxia is now affected by "Shark Teeth", and Ning Wei is fully qualified.
"Grandpa, how is he doing now?"
Xu Shi asked with concern.
"...It's okay, it's nothing serious. It's just that I'm getting older, and using my abilities will always have an impact."
Ning Wei said seriously, "We still have to observe it for a while...so if anything happens in the future, I ask Director Xu to consider it more carefully."
"I'll go see him soon and let him scold me in person."
Xu Shi didn't answer his words. After all, it wasn't a question of prudence. He didn't want to work for his grandfather if he could, but the problem was that he only had the ability to be an S-level "upgrader" in an instant. Otherwise, just a Longtian Cauldron would be placed in front of him. There, I'm afraid this battle will never be finished by now.
What should I do? (Aggrieved)
As well as Tang Shuang, the current director of the Inspection Bureau, and her adjutant, Yu Xingchuan.
No one was surprised by their appearance - even if they didn't know Xu Shi's plan before, it is no longer a secret that Yue Chizheng is being detained by Tang Shuang.
Someone has to fill this hole, and now that Tang Shuang is here, it's obvious what his attitude is.
"Good morning, Director Tang."
Xu Shi said hello to her with a smile.
It's a pity that all I got in exchange was a lukewarm eye roll from Director Tang Da. How dare you take the initiative to say hello? The smelly brother crawls and crawls.
Instead, Yu Xingchuan came over enthusiastically, "Dr. Xu..."
Before she could finish her words, she was blocked by Su Lin. Seeing this, she could only stick out her tongue and retreat.
"Since everyone is here, let's get to the point?"
Qi Kang watched the interactions between the juniors with great interest, and then took the initiative to start a conversation.
In fact, the theme of this meeting is very simple, in five words, divide the spoils.
After the collapse of "Shark Teeth", regardless of the properties under his command or the private property of He family, it turned out to be a considerable amount of wealth, including the small treasury of people like Yue Chi Zheng Lin Wenhua, which added up to a lot.
Regarding this aspect, everyone's opinions can easily be unified. Only the part involving money should be divided equally, and the rest should be taken according to the nature of the industry.
Although the mainstay of "Shark Teeth" is the military industry, its business can be considered diversified. This is the same for everyone, so they can just strengthen each other.
Xu Shi is not stingy about this. Even now everyone has to look at his face to act, but there are some things that have to be sacrificed to gain something... Everyone has put in a lot of effort, how can the fruits of victory fall into his hands alone? ? It's very detrimental to unity.
Moreover, this does not have much impact on him. On the other hand, the mainstay of "Shark Tooth" is the military industry, and the bulk of it still belongs to "Snake Ring".
But there are people in Sin City who have said it, or in other words, the rules need to be re-established there.
"On behalf of the master, I convey his message. Before the collapse of "Dragon City", it had established development cooperation projects with "Quill Pen" related to people's livelihood infrastructure. The master also hopes that these things can continue. "
Ning Wei said leisurely, with a very serious tone.
"I agree."
Xu Shi followed his words and said, "My personal opinion is the same. For a long time, the unrest in Sin City has been a problem that cannot be underestimated. It will not only have an impact on Night City, but it is also a waste of resources."
"If the barriers between the two sides can be broken down and the twenty-two regions can be integrated, it will be beneficial to both sides."
This is true. There are also resource mining areas in Suicheng, and most of the human and talent resources are in a state of being buried. However, they have not been able to effectively utilize them because of the restrictions of Longtian Cauldron. Now is the best opportunity.
"I agree."
Xie Qingyan and Tang Shuang agreed.
"I don't have any objection, but there is a problem that needs to be clarified in advance."
Qi Kang tapped the table with his fingers, "How will the jurisdiction issue of Sin City be dealt with in the future? I think everyone will naturally disagree with the "Dragon City" approach. Then we will be responsible for it separately in the future? Or will the city hall act as an agent? Including the remaining gangs, big and small... we can't stay in limbo forever. "
"That's easy."
Xu Shi smiled and pressed his hand, "Although "Dragon City" has collapsed, there are still several relatively influential gangs under its command, such as "White Iron", "Long Knife Party", "Xinghuo" and so on..." It's better to let them continue to be in charge. This can effectively avoid the disputes and waste that may arise from large-scale personnel changes, and we and the city hall can exercise our supervisory power. "
"Don't worry about a new "Dragon City" appearing over time... After all, from now on, you will gradually develop towards the Sin City. Sooner or later, the two sides will merge together, but it is just a matter of time. "
This is the best way to deal with it, at least for him.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Xu Shi said, but of the three remaining gangs, two are secretly controlled by him. Xie Qingyan can take away a little bit, but the impact will not be too big.
In other words, from then on, Sin City was still within his sphere of influence.
Everyone else is well aware of this. Even if they don't know about his relationship with "Starfire", his relationship with the "Long Knife Party" is well known. Under such circumstances, anyone would choose to do this.
However, no one has any objections. Firstly, "Snake Ring" is already ahead of other players. Secondly, such an operation is also within the acceptable range - "Prism" has "White Iron" to drive it, and "Quill Pen" ” are more concerned about people’s livelihood issues, and this kind of power struggle has to be pushed to the back.
The only person who might have an opinion is the "imaginary number", especially Uncle Qi, who is really a little embarrassed. After all, the "Long Knife Party" used to belong to our family, right... At that time, Xu Shi took it away by force and thought it was not a big problem, but now he is back. Already...
Fortunately, Qi Kang is the type who is very aware of current affairs. They don't have much say at this table. They have already gained a lot, so there is no need to get into trouble again. They can still enter and develop in the future.
Who told us to be inferior to others? Let’s live with it.
"In that case, let's pass?"
The goal was achieved, Xu Shi stopped talking nonsense and moved on to the next topic, "By the way, Uncle Qi, regarding the "Forgotten Ones", "Imaginary Number" should have already started taking care of it, right?" "
"That's natural. That kid from Maoyang didn't come today because I asked him to work overtime."
Qi Kang adjusted his mentality and sighed.
The so-called handling does not mean giving an explanation to ordinary people or anything like that. The matter was caused by the "forgotten people" in the first place, and it is a certain matter that cannot be escaped.
But proper guidance is still needed - it was the majestic and upright major financial groups who saw through the conspiracy of this group of despicable foreigners in time, and they were able to turn the tide and help the building to collapse.
In fact, if he didn't find it too troublesome, he would have the idea of expanding the riot.
This is a time-honored method of mending pots in the Houhei School - if a small hole is broken in the pot and it is used for baking, the tinker will secretly smash two more seams out. Only in this way can more money be collected and the profits can be made. maximize.
It's the same here. The more violent the "Forgotten Ones" make, the greater the influence the consortium will have when it comes to an end. Coupled with the public opinion and momentum that has been paving the way before, it will be difficult for this group to turn around in the future.
Everyone agreed on this point, and immediately negotiated specific bills and regulations, completely classifying the "forgotten people" as second-class citizens, with strict restrictions on food, clothing, housing, transportation, and various rights.
"Look now, we were a little too tolerant to them before, weren't we?"
Xie Qingyan joked with a smile while giving his opinion.
"Isn't that right? They are the descendants of exiled criminals. We cannot allow them to come back and pollute the good environment of Night Sin City again."
Xu Shi's wife sang and her husband followed her and gave her a compliment.
Anyway, no one at this table has any sympathy for the "forgotten ones". Everyone is eager to do this - they can get the resources they have without having to pay any corresponding price. Wouldn't it be nice? ?
Even Song Chen, who is the leader of the "Forgotten", is no exception. The fact is that this old boy is quite supportive of this. Anyway, his direct lineage is not within the scope of sanctions. This is a condition that was discussed early in the morning. As for Shen Qin And Zhao Yuan's retinue? To hell with them.
At this point, the meeting has basically come to an end.
There's just one last thing left.
"Yue Chi's crime cannot be punished, but the city hall also needs someone to take care of it."
Xu Shi said calmly, "As for who will be the new governor, everyone should have a candidate?"
"As you say, isn't the new governor sitting here?"
Qi Kang glanced at Tang Shuang.
Everyone is tacitly aware of this. The fact is that Tang Shuang is definitely the most suitable one. Not only are everyone in the consortium relatively satisfied with her, but based on her previous actions, she has also been consistently high in the polls.
So no one had any objection to this, otherwise why would she be allowed to attend the meeting? This is enough to show your attitude.
But the process still had to be followed, so everyone present voted with a show of hands in a very serious manner. Xu Shi even made some show effects and gave a serious vote of disapproval.
That's almost it.
"...Then thank you for your support."
Tang Shuang was a little ashamed of this. She rarely participated in such things. Seeing it with her own eyes always felt so childish...
"Since everyone has given me this opportunity, I will live up to your expectations and work with you to manage Night Sin City better and better."
When she said this, her eyes never left Xu Shi, as if she wanted to eat him.
Xu Shi turned a blind eye to this, but he was very childish and did not applaud her like the others.
I'll forget it if you don't thank me, but you're still mean to me? That's enough for you, Tang.
By the way, Xingchuan took over the position of Inspector General. Since then, Xu Shi has fulfilled all the promises he made.
"It seems there's nothing else to do? Let's break up the meeting then."
He stood up and straightened his clothes, acting like a boss - but there was no need to act like a boss. Saying a thousand words or choosing this for that could not change the fact that he was the one who finally lost the hammer.
"If I see you like this, I will definitely be very happy."
After leaving the venue, Su Lin next to her expressed a heartfelt sigh.
Who would have thought that in less than a year, the young master who could not hold himself up would reach his current position?
"What about you, are you happy?"
Xu Shi joked with a smile.
"I...should be happy, right?"
"What is should? If you are happy, you are happy. If you are unhappy, you are unhappy."
"Then you think I'm unhappy."
Su Lin replied angrily.
"What a coincidence, I'm not very happy either."
Xu Shi grinned, "In other words, I'm not happy enough."
"Um?"
"Because there are still people waiting for me to liquidate."
Xu Shi stretched and said, "Let's go, come with me to meet some old friends."
Cruelly humiliating the protagonist is what the villain likes most, isn't it?
Just thinking about this made his palms itch.
