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

So the next morning, Xu Shi took her to the racetrack and planned to teach her from the beginning.

however.

Gu Yi's talent in this area far exceeded his imagination.

Driving itself is not difficult to learn, and a novice can get the hang of it quickly as autonomous driving technology is already very advanced... What is really difficult is the racing-level skills, such as the most well-known drifting, blade overtaking, ditch cornering, etc. What is needed is to abandon technology and enjoy the fun of manual operation.

But the difficulty is also imaginable. There are many news reports of racing drivers being killed in car crashes... However, Miss Black Rabbit did not encounter the so-called difficulties and obstacles. On the contrary, after a few days, she has mastered it.

He may not be able to compare with the veteran driver Xu Shi, but he is already a mature young driver.

Wow, it turns out he’s also a racing genius?

Xu Shi was surprised by this, at least there was absolutely no relevant information mentioned in the original book.

So... does this count as a hidden attribute that I have developed myself?

“It drives well.”

He gave a positive thumbs-up.

"Hehe, that's right. After this lap, the difference between you and me is only six seconds."

Gu Yi was also a little proud of this, "It doesn't feel as exciting as "God's Presence"... "

"That's enough. Isn't it because I taught you well?"

Xu Shi thought to himself, "If I hadn't enlightened you, would you be where you are today? I told you you were fat and you're still panting?"

"I don't care, it's still because I'm gifted!"

Gu Yi raised her little head proudly, "I went racing with you, didn't I? You can't refuse me when I go back to play games today!"

"……All right."

Xu Shi spread his hands, this thing is a give and take... But just as he was about to pack up and go home, his communication bracelet suddenly rang.

After seeing the message inside, his expression became serious.

"Put aside the game for now and go meet someone with me first."

-

The person who contacted Xu Shi was Wen Shengkui.

Xu Shi naturally would not neglect it. He thought that the old man must have something important to contact him, so he immediately prepared to go to District 19.

Of course, I still have to dress up a little. I can't really go there in a racing suit and ride a motorcycle. If I get there and then say, "Old Deng, where is my will-o'-the-wisp parked?" I'm afraid my grandfather will chase me in a wheelchair and beat me up.

As for why he brought Gu Yi along, it was because the old man asked him to see his little pet (bushi).

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the "Quillen" manor.

"Director Xu."

Ning Wei was the one who greeted them, but he had no impression of Gu Yi. "Who is this...?"

"Oh, our company's technical director, Miss Gu Yi."

Xu Shi introduced it to him.

"Mr. Ning."

Miss Black Rabbit greeted politely, and it was obvious that her original Sin City demeanor was fading little by little.

"Then shall I take Miss Gu to the lounge?"

"No, just let her come with me."

"Yes."

It was still Wen Shengkui's study, and the old man was still as strong as ever.

However, compared to last time, his face was a little more serious, and even the little black dog beside him was standing quietly on the sofa with his head down.

"coming?"

Seeing Xu Shi coming in, Wen Shengkui said in a deep voice, "This little girl...I saw her at the last press conference, right?"

"correct."

Xu Shi nodded. "I was with her when you asked me to come. I brought her here because time was tight."

"Hello... Chairman Wen."

Facing such an imposing old man, Gu Yi seemed to have a natural fear. He greeted him timidly and almost bit his tongue.

Just now, Baldwin almost called him grandpa... Miss Black Rabbit secretly rolled her eyes.

He was a little scared when he saw the other person at the cocktail party before. People always seem to be a little afraid to face this kind of majestic-looking elder.

Xu Shi patted her on the shoulder silently, indicating that she didn't need to be so nervous.

He could see that Gu Yi's tough-looking but weak character hadn't changed at all, and it had even gotten worse during the time he stayed at home.

Or maybe it's that her nature of appearing to be a social success but actually being a bit socially anxious is caused by living alone at home for a long time... They point fingers at the world on the Internet, but their actions fall apart at the slightest touch in real life, which is also a reflection of many people.

So when he took Gu Yi for a race, including bringing her to meet Wen Shengkui, he didn't really mean to "give grandpa a little pet shock."

It was just a joke. The old man himself probably didn't care much about it. He was more interested in helping Little Black Rabbit correct his character. After all, he was a capable man by his side now. In terms of status, he was a high-ranking official. It was not a good thing for him to be like that all the time.

"Hello, Manager Gu."

Seeing her like this, Wen Shengkui couldn't help but smile at her, "Sit down."

He asked that question just to confirm with his eldest grandson whether this person was someone he could trust. Since Xu Shi gave a positive answer and had no intention of asking her to avoid the question, he felt relieved.

After all, what he wanted to talk to Xu Shi about was very important.

"Someone contacted me just now. Do you know who that person is?"

He cleared his throat and looked at Xu Shi.

"Could it be Long Tianding?"

Xu Shi's mind raced and he already had the answer in his mind.

After all, the only person that could gain such attention from his grandfather could be found in one of the six major financial groups, and for him, the only one that was not stable at the moment was Dragon City.

"...Yes, that's him."

There was more approval in Mr. Wen's eyes. "Guess what he said to me?"

"He said he wanted to make peace with me, and he also said he wanted to open a green corridor between Sin City and Night City, and to build a school to improve the atmosphere in Sin City and increase the education rate of Sin City residents."

"Just tell him he's coming for me."

Xu Shi burst out laughing.

This is not something Long Tianding can say, or rather, such an operation is completely inconsistent with the interests of Sin City itself.

If "Dragon City" really values ​​these aspects, it should have considered these matters long ago, instead of shaking hands with "Quillen", which has been in a stalemate with it for so many years, at this critical juncture when the "Forgotten" has just moved in.

The only possibility is that he is preparing to do something else in order to restrain Wen Shengkui, or to divide the old man's energy and then make a secret move.

The target was naturally Xu Shi. After all, the discord between the two of them happened recently. He didn't come to find him before just because he was afraid. But now with the intervention of the "Forgotten", Long Tianding can indeed let go and do things that he couldn't do before.

Because those weapons and medical technologies are shared by the six major financial groups, he has some confidence with this, and the number of "Forgotten" who join Sin City is also the largest - "Dragon City" does not have high requirements for those people, as long as they can fight, it is completely a gang expansion.

The reason why he contacted "Feather Pen" was entirely because of the relationship between the other companies and "Snake Ring", which seemed to be closer on the surface.

"Prism" is a partner, "Shark Tooth" is facing external and internal troubles, and "Imaginary Number" is also leaning towards itself... It seems that the only one without any entanglement is "Quillen".

As for the grandfather-grandson relationship between Xu Shi and Wen Shengkui, Long Tianding might have considered it, but the fact was that the two had little contact in all these years. Obviously, he didn't know that the relationship between him and the old man was gradually being repaired.

Besides, what he wants to do is just to contain him, not to win over Wen Shengkui to attack his grandson. The two are essentially different.

He may have even contacted several other consortiums privately, right?

However, Long Tianding probably didn't expect that as soon as he contacted Wen Shengkui, the other party would call Xu Shi to explain the situation.

Ok……

Xu Shi frowned. Was he planning to confront him without even talking to him?

Maybe not.

I'm afraid he plans to make some preparations first, so that he will have more room for maneuver whether it is negotiation or fighting.

"Anyway, this isn't a good sign, so I think I need to warn you."

Wen Shengkui breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, I also want to hear what you plan to do after you know about this?"

"My opinion?"

After a little thought, Xu Shi answered.

"It's a good thing to turn hostility into friendship. Grandpa can definitely agree to it."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 135 That’s called a pure heart!

Xu Shi’s answer was both unexpected and reasonable.

"No matter whether Long Tianding is sincere or not, if he really opens schools and other businesses in Sin City, it will be a good thing for Night Sin City."

He explained sincerely, "How is there a saying, the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom?"

This may not be appropriate here, but it is the truth.

Sin City and Night City compete with each other in size, but the census data are really incomparable - the education rate is only one aspect, as for life expectancy, environmental issues, and the old-fashioned GDP, it cannot be said that there is a huge difference, but it can be said that there is a world of difference.

This is closely related to the model of Sin City itself. Under the influence of gang culture, if Sin City people want to survive, most of them have no choice but to join a gang. In addition, due to the long-term confrontation with Night City, other ways are also somewhat despised by the people of Sin City.

Just like that scene in the movie, Mom, I want to study hard and go to college. That’s great, son. When you go to college, recruit all your classmates into our gang!

It is essentially deformed.

Xu Shi did not deny the saying "existence is reasonable". It has become an imperceptible rule for Night City bosses to hire gang members to do dirty work. He himself even borrowed Ding Jun's people to deal with He Lao San... But in the final analysis, all eleven districts of Sin City are like this, and they will always be a hidden danger.

The three evils of pornography, gambling and drugs are deeply rooted, and the evil consequences they have brought about are self-evident... I must mention here that the harm of the so-called "pornography" is actually often reflected in aspects such as "human trafficking" and "forcing women of good character into prostitution", rather than the narrow sense of "doing everything will only hurt yourself."

The biggest example is what happened to Lin Yue. Who would want their relatives and friends to suddenly disappear, and to see them again only to find their broken bodies being tortured to death?
