It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains? - Page 407
You haven't even put on ■■■ first and then ■■■, but I have played the roles completely?
"What do you mean again? It's obviously different, okay?"
Tang Shuang retorted seriously.
"What's the difference?"
A question mark popped up over his head at that time.
"Last time, it was the uniform of the Inspection Bureau, this time it's from the Governor's Office."
Governor-General Tang spoke with confidence.
Boss Xu sweats like soybeans.
But the other party's little hobby was not a big deal, so after struggling in vain, he chose to compromise and became a glorious clerk in the Governor's Office.
"You have to dress nicely."
Tang Shuang's eyes sparkled, "Really, he is worthy of being the man I chose, he is great in every way."
"What do you mean you picked it?"
Xu Shi actually enjoyed her flattery, but he still responded proudly.
"If I remember correctly, it was me who confessed to you?"
Tang Shuang raised her eyebrows, "So of course I picked you, okay?"
"Good good."
Xu Shi smiled and nodded. He really liked Tang Shuang's generosity.
The so-called date was actually just strolling around - Tang Shuang's residence was at the junction of Districts 17 and 18, belonging to the comfort zone of Night City's upper class. Not only was it well-equipped, but it also had beautiful scenery that had been specially created with great effort.
"gorgeous."
Wandering in the park in the center of the district, Tang Shuang expressed such emotion while holding the breakfast in his hand.
In fact, this kind of pleasing scenery is already commonplace for people in Districts 17 and 18, but she suddenly found that she seemed to have never really appreciated it.
“I always feel like I missed a lot in the past.”
There was regret in her tone.
“That’s what workaholics do.”
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
The little bit of girlishness that he had accumulated with great difficulty suddenly disappeared. Governor Tang rolled his eyes at him unhappily and turned back into the form of a tiger girl.
Xu Shi didn't care. Seeing this, he just smiled and said, "Fortunately, there are still many days to come, and you just happen to have many firsts that have not yet been realized."
"Pah, smooth talk."
Tang Shuang snorted, but she couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes.
She had to say that Xu Shi was quite good at coaxing people. What was originally a regrettable matter, but after he said that, it made her feel full of hope.
Wasn't last night the first time? Then there were so many first times since then, the first candlelight dinner, the first anniversary, including the first time having a child?
What she was thinking popped into her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little longing.
"Oh, there's something we all seem to have overlooked."
Her working brain habit remained unchanged. As she was walking around, she suddenly remembered something. "What are you going to do with the Forgotten base outside the city?"
This is a problem that is neither big nor small. In the beginning, this group of people were driven out of the city and an immigration system was implemented. Over time, the slum characteristics that originally belonged to Sin City were transferred there.
But now, if we want to expand further and establish an alliance system, such a thing that damages our image seems inappropriate. Just imagine that outsiders will see such noise and dirt at first sight, which is really not a glorious thing.
“It’s time to upgrade.”
Xu Shi was reminded by her, and after a little thought, he said, "Why not invest some energy and try to make it more formal?"
I can't say that it can achieve the same transformation as Sin City, but it will definitely be a thousand times better than the current mess.
"I think so too."
Tang Shuang nodded slightly, "It is you, a capital oligarch, who would actually say this on your own initiative. This Governor is a little shocked."
Xu Shi shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing to hide.
There are many things involved here. The appearance of Night Crime City is one aspect, and being able to generate more value from it is of course the icing on the cake.
To give a very simple example, their current investment in "The Forgotten" is zero, and the income from "The Forgotten" mining may be ten.
But if the investment becomes ten and the expected rate of return can reach one hundred, this is obviously a wiser choice, and Boss Xu is willing to spend the money.
And there is another crucial issue.
This can effectively prevent external forces from dividing the country.
After all, we will have to communicate with other city-states in the future. Who knows if there will be some people with ulterior motives who will use this method to cause trouble and win over some people here to be their secret agents.
By then I will have to pay an extra 500,000, which is not worth it.
It's better to make up for the situation now and prevent the slightest change. Just because something is small doesn't mean it's unimportant.
"Where's Song Chen? He used to be one of the leaders of the Forgotten. It would be most appropriate for him to take some responsibility for this matter."
"You'll have to ask your good fiancée about this. He has been in charge of Prism's affairs for more than a year to ensure its stability in the future."
Tang Shuang blinked her eyes, "And he was also completely dominated by your Qingyan. It's hard to say whether he still has this ambition now."
"Then ask later."
"OK."
Tang Shuang was about to nod, but then she realized something, "Why talk about work during a date? Let's just have fun today!"
"Okay, where do you want to go?"
Xu Shi agreed immediately.
"I can go anywhere. As long as I'm with you, anywhere is good."
Xu Shi liked to hear this, so many people saw it. The governor-general of the Governor's Office was actually strolling around with her subordinates in broad daylight. This was completely inconsistent with everyone's stereotype of her.
“If only it could stay like this forever.”
This time it was Xu Shi's turn to sigh, but what was even more regrettable was that he couldn't do so now, as there were many things waiting for him to do.
"Then you have to work harder. As long as Heaven's law is not eliminated, we will be further away from our goal. Don't wait until you become an old woman."
"There will always be a day like this."
Xu Shi suddenly became serious. "One year is not enough. Two years is not enough. Five years is not enough. Ten years or even decades are not enough. As long as we are willing to work hard for this goal, we will succeed."
"makes sense."
Tang Shuang did not deny it and immediately extended her hand to him.
But instead of holding hands, it's a fist bump.
At this moment, the conversation was between the big boss of "Snake Ring" and the current governor of the Governor's Office, not Xu Shi and Tang Shuang.
“Let’s encourage you together!”

Chapter 329 Calling your position when working!
2023-12-04
Xu Shi probably never thought that what he said in the heat of the moment when he bumped fists with Tang Shuang would actually come true.
Because three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Thinking back to the time when he just returned to Night Sin City from the Hualan Empire, it seemed like it was just yesterday... He felt a little emotional for a moment.
After all, he is already twenty-nine years old now, just a few months away from thirty.
If we round it off, thirty is not far from forty, and we are about to reach the age of fifty. Then comes sixty, and seventy, which is the age of seventy…
Ah, time is gone and can never come back, the past can only be recalled~
Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly. For humans, the only thing that cannot be controlled is the passage of time⑧.
Anyway, he is almost like a veteran cadre, and the thermos cup is soaked with wolfberry.
Just as I was about to take a sip, the office door was pushed open in a hurry.
"master!"
Pan Ling walked in with a frown on her face, looking very disappointed with her friend. "I told you that there is an important meeting today. Did you forget?"
Three years have passed, and the silly apprentice has grown a lot. He is no longer as ignorant as when he first came to Night Sin City.
Instead, she wore a smart OL suit - a beige suit with high heels, and her hair was combed into a neat high ponytail, which was a very qualified outfit for a career woman.
It can be seen that she has adapted well to her current life and she has indeed worked hard over the years.
At least Xu Shi didn't expect it at the time. In just over two years, she completed the complicated higher education and even graduated from the institution with the highest score in the year. After that, she directly joined "Snake Ring" and became a member of the company.
His position was Xu Shi's special assistant, which to some extent shared the secretary work of Su Lin, the director.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Shi was obviously intending to delegate power to her - after all, as the chairman, he was a hands-off boss. He even dared to let her make the final decisions on many important matters, while he completely retreated behind the scenes and hardly showed up unless there was something important.
To be honest, many people were dissatisfied with Xu Shi's operation at the beginning. Could a young girl who had just started out really carry such a big banner? In their eyes, this was obviously doubtful.
These voices only gradually faded away after Pan Ling slapped them in the face with her own strength... They had to learn to accept the fact that a 22-year-old girl from another city-state was actually more professional than them, the old guys.
If Xu Shi is better at looking at the overall situation and making creative or the most correct decisions, then Pan Ling pays more attention to details. In other words, one builds the skeleton while the other fills in the flesh and blood. The master and apprentice cooperate very well and complement each other.
It can only be said that like teacher, like student, or that the disciple is better than the master. Who can blame Xu Shi for being a monster? From the time he officially took over the company, he had achieved today's success within five years.
Many people have even forgotten that this man was only 25 years old at the time, yet he was able to sweep away a large number of powerful veterans in the company, and even destroyed two rival consortiums, becoming the uncrowned king of Night Sin City in one fell swoop.
Or rather, it’s more than that.
"Master, Master, you were the one who proposed to establish the Federation, and you are the one who is now acting as a hands-off manager."
Pan Ling was much bolder now. At least she could complain about Xu Shi without hesitation. "It's ok for you to not care about things normally, but today the rulers of two city-states are visiting us. You should show up, right?"
"Xiao Pan, when you're working, you call them by their positions."
