Gu Shao ended the meeting and returned to his office. He saw Gu Xizheng fooling around with the things on his desk.

To be precise, it is not fiddling, but tidying up.

The original layout on Gu Shao's desk has now been sorted out by Gu Xi to look completely different from before.

Gu Shao’s previous offices and desks were usually cleaned up by several president secretaries in the center. Sometimes Gu Shao cleaned up by himself, and those people would clean up again in a way that they thought was reasonable and good-looking.

Because there was no special request, Gu Shao didn't pay much attention to it.

When Gu Shao approached, he was surprised to find that his desk was cleaned up by Gu Xi, but it has become his most accustomed arrangement.

"Help me organize my desk?" Gu Shao asked.

Gu Xi was concentrating on pounding things on Gu Shao's desk, but didn't notice when this person came in. Gu Xi was surprised when she heard Gu Shao's voice from behind, and turned her head to look at Gu Shao.

With a smile on Gu Shao's eyes, he raised his hand and rubbed it on Gu Xi's head, and said, "Thank you."

Hearing this, Gu Xi grinned and said loudly, "You're welcome!"

As for the way she arranged it after tidying up, she actually arranged it according to the arrangement of the desk in Gu Shao's study at home.

The ones in my own family must be what I am most used to.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Shao asked.

"Just... I have submitted the information for the competition group of the'Young Creative Competition' today," Gu Xi said, pausing, and then looking at Gu Shao with dazzling eyes: "Then our competition project was judged to pass again. NS."

"Yeah." Gu Shao nodded.

"There was a teacher who told us that our idea, father, you have already made a real concept machine! Is it true?" Gu Xi asked, her voice full of excitement and surprise.

Gu Shao nodded again, and said: "The current naming is tentatively ‘T&S’." This name basically follows the design name of Gu Xi’s project.

"So will it be displayed to the public? Will it be available soon?" Gu Xi asked.

"Not for the time being," Gu Shao said, and then explained: "At present, this is just a conceptual machine, representing the degree to which the technology can be realized. There are still many things that need to be adjusted and continuously tested, and it is far from the real advent and investment. The market also has a long period of time."

—It seems to be the reason.

Hearing Gu Shao's explanation, Gu Xi nodded seriously.

"That's right!" What came to mind, Gu Xi said again: "The teacher in the competition group said that the topic, the ‘T&S’ project, is very promising and the response is super good?"

"not bad."

"Also, did the inspiration come from our subject?" Gu Xi asked again.

"Yeah." Gu Shao answered.

Seeing Gu Xi's mouth constantly asking, with a curious look, Gu Shao felt a little funny, so he asked, "Want to go see it?"

think!

This was a subconscious reaction in Gu Xi's mind.

However, after calming down, Gu Xi hesitated a little bit-although she was very curious about how her idea was realized, but Gu Xi was a little afraid to see the concept machine of the'real material', and then look at the'missing arms' they made. With the model of "fewer legs", she would doubt life.

After struggling for a long time, Gu Xi finally bit her lip and shook her head: "I'll leave it alone..."

"Well, let's talk about another thing first." Gu Xi suddenly looked at Gu Shao and said.

"what?"

"Very important thing." Gu Xi sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and pointed to the office chair opposite Gu Shao: "Dad, go there and sit down first."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, Gu Shao raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he walked to the desk and sat down facing his daughter.

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Looking at Gu Xi's serious face, Gu Shao tried his best not to laugh.

"I have to talk to you on a very formal topic, Mr. Gu." Gu Xi said seriously.

"General Gu?" Gu Shao's eyes moved.

Gu Xi: "Uh, what about Comrade Gu Shao?"

Gu Shao: "Call Dad."

"Um, Dad." Gu Xi persuaded and called Dad obediently.

"Say it."

"It is the ‘T&S’ project. The future R&D returns and market prospects should be very good, right?"

In the face of Gu Xi's expectant eyes, Gu Shao nodded, and appraised: "Not bad, it is more in line with the needs of future market development, and there are many channels that can be used."

"So, this is a profitable project in the future?" Gu Xi asked again.

"Yeah." Gu Shao nodded. In fact, after the exhibition that day, some companies have contacted NTN through some channels to express their intentions for the product.

"That's good," Gu Xi smiled, and said again: "Now, dad, look, this project is so promising in the future, and it may make NTN a lot of money. It should be considered a very good subject and creative. Right? Since the inspiration comes from our subject, then..."

Gu Xi smiled guiltyly at Gu Shao.

Although a little hard to tell, Gu Xi still bit her heart, cheeky, and said very quickly and loudly: "Dad, should you pay us?"

"Huh...?" Gu Xi's tone obviously faded again when she said the last word.

"..." Gu Shao was stunned when he heard Gu Xi's words. Obviously, he didn't expect this girl to say something like this.

Gu Shao twitched the corners of his mouth impenetrably, "Ask for money?"

"Yes! Yeah, that's right..." Gu Xi nodded in shock. She came here to talk about money with Gu Shao.

Seeing Gu Xizheng's posture, Gu Shao wanted to laugh, but still maintained the calm expression on his face, Feng Qingyun asked indifferently: "How much do you want."

"Just..." Gu Xi thought about it: "Two thousand! No, no, five thousand!"

It was only handsome for two seconds. In the next second, Gu Xi asked uncertainly: "Five thousand shouldn't be too much, right?"

Gu Shao's gaze stayed on Gu Xi's face for a moment.

I thought to myself: He didn't seem to be treating this girl harshly, and he didn't eat less than a few pounds. When did this girl lose money? Doesn't this girl know that her card can be swiped at will?

Gu Shao remembered that, except for the one time he bought him a tie, Gu Xi never spent any money on the card.

Gu Xi didn't notice the smile hidden in Gu Shao's eyes, and was a little guilty by the other side.

"Or three...four thousand or four thousand." Gu Xi first pointed out three fingers towards Gu Shao, and then immediately jumped out another finger, making a'four' gesture.

"Four thousand, it's really not too much."

"Well, not too much." Gu Shao said. It's just that Gu Xi must not be allowed to negotiate business in the future.

Although I can't guess why Gu Xi suddenly thought of asking him for money, I thought of what my sister-in-law said before that it is always right for her daughter to be rich.

Gu Shao took the phone and directly transferred the money to Gu Xi's WeChat account.

She did not tell Gu Xi that the names of her three people, Sheng Xiuyan and Dong Mingming, were originally noted in the special development list of'T&S', and after the competition, NTN will also go through the formal process and topic The creative person signs a contract.



Here, Gu Xi still didn't know Gu Shao's plan. Hearing the sound of the coin falling on WeChat, her eyes lit up, and she took out her mobile phone from her pocket in surprise.

When I clicked on the dialogue interface, when I saw the amount of Gu Shao's transfer, Gu Xi was shocked: She thought that Gu Shao had given her 5000 to have been very pleasantly surprised, but found that it was four zeros.

Blink and confirm repeatedly that I am not mistaken.

"Dad, did you press one more 0?" Gu Xi handed the phone to Gu Shao.

"No." Gu Shao said calmly.

"Take it, the rest is pocket money."

"real?"

"Um."

Hearing Gu Shao's affirmation, Gu Xi took back the phone with peace of mind.

"Thank you Dad. Also, I won't spend this money indiscriminately!" Gu Xi promised.

After reading the amount of money on the phone several times, Gu Xi was holding the phone and jumped up from the chair opposite Gu Shao contentedly, and consciously ran to the sofa aside to stay, not disturbing Gu Shao's work.



But, soon, Gu Xi's mind flashed, and another thing came to mind.

"Dad, I still think of one." Gu Xi jumped in front of Gu Shao again, but this time she wasn't trying to rub the'anti-risk fund'.

"What?" Gu Shao took his gaze back from the document in front of him.

"That is, can you make a maritime safety supervision system? It is a monitoring and security system for the transnational cargo transportation on the high seas." Gu Xi explained as much as possible.

Just now, she suddenly thought of some plots in the novel.

In the novel, although Lin Yize has the aura of the male protagonist, the beginning is rich and powerful, but in fact, Lin Yize's power is not yet unmatched in the novel.

Lin Yize's power should have grown slowly over the years.

And one of the important businesses that made Lin Yize's financial resources soar was transnational transportation.

The transnational transportation that Lin Yize does is not just the formal business on the surface. In fact, the real profiteering is the gray business in the dark, the most of which is the shameless high-return transportation between the Southeastern countries.

So Gu Xi wondered: Can they use some official power to prevent Lin Yize from doing what he wants and cut off his ‘financial road’ through certain regulatory measures before Lin Yize has made a lot of money.

Since in the novel, NTN can even do the national space security system, then this kind of maritime supervision system should also be possible.

Gu Xi wondered in her heart.



Here, after hearing Gu Xi's words, Gu Shao was a little surprised, but he seriously considered it for a few seconds.

"It can be done." Gu Shao said, paused, but then said: "However, the transportation in the waters of China is very safe, including the inflow or import of overseas goods."

"I know." Gu Xi nodded. This is why Lin Yize chooses to conduct business between Southeastern countries, but does not involve China.

"What if such a security system is provided to some other countries, such as those countries in the southeast with complex sea areas, frequent high seas transportation and trade, but lack of supervision?" After a pause, Gu Xi added: "For example, it can be sold. give them."

"A good idea," Gu Shao said, but a thought flashed in his eyes from an angle that Gu Xi couldn't see.

Gu Xi wanted to say something more, but in the next second, Gu Shao said, "Did you write your homework?" He called back.



Because it was Friday, before it was time to get off work, Grandpa Gu called and asked Gu Shao to take Gu Xi back to the main house for dinner.

Gu family.

After dinner, Gu Xi, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi were surrounded by old man Gu, flicking red envelopes, pooh, playing games.

Their game is very simple. Use the dice in the emoticon pack to randomly get points, and if there are few points, a red envelope will be given.

In the first two rounds, Gu Xi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. It wasn't until Grandpa Gu made the third throw that something was wrong.

Clicking on the "One Point" sent by Master Gu, Gu Xi finally discovered that the number of points on their dice expressions will change randomly, and Master Gu's picture is just a "One Point"!

At the other end, after grabbing another red envelope, Gu Chenyi was winking at Gu Xi desperately.

After a while, Gu Xi received a private chat message from Gu Chenyi on her mobile phone: [Low-key and low-key, Grandpa's emoticon pack was specially made by my eldest brother back then. 】

Then, Gu Chenyi also sent a ‘嘚Se’ expression.

Gu Xi: "..."

Dare to love this ‘game’ has existed for several years? And it seems to have tried again and again?

I always feel that these two people, as well as Gu Yanlin, who was before the development, have ‘pitted money’ from the old man’s hands.

Gu Xi was ashamed and couldn't help but spit out.

Next to him, watching his grandchildren and grandsons having fun, Wang Pei silently took out his mobile phone and started the play.

The tricks of these little brats were almost inexplicable.

-After so many years, how can a savvy man like the old man don't know that he has been cheated, but just find a way to give pocket money to his precious grandchildren in a disguised form.



At the same time, in the study room upstairs, Gu Shao and Gu Xuan talked about Gu Xi this afternoon.

"Today, Xixi asked me to develop a maritime transport supervision system for the Southeastern countries." Gu Shao said.

Gu Xi thought that she was quite cryptic, but she didn't know that Gu Shao had already seen through her true thoughts.

Hearing Gu Shao's words, Gu Xuan was stunned, his eyes lit up, and then he smiled, and commented: "This idea is good. The southeast side is quite messy. A supervision system can be sold."

Using a system to reclaim a large portion of unofficial profits from certain ‘retail investors’, the countries in the southeast are probably very happy.

After that, Gu Xuan was surprised again, and looked at Gu Shao: "You said this idea was brought up with regret?"

"Wait!" Gu Xuan paused again, muttering: "The maritime transportation of Southeastern countries...how does it feel a bit familiar?"

Suddenly thinking of something in his mind, Gu Xuan opened his eyes slightly: "Right! The Lin Family! Isn't that Lin Yize doing this business?"

This point, they still found out when they were investigating Gu Yaobai.

"It's a pity that I asked you to get a regulatory system to sell to those countries. Isn't it because you want to deal with the Lin family?" Gu Xuan was a little surprised, after thinking about it, he patted his thigh again, and laughed: "This idea is a good way. ."

However, Gu Shao opened his mouth and said, "I hope not."

Gu Xi's life can be colorful, but returning to the essence, he hopes that her life will be as simple as possible.

Simple and happy, as for those dark and hazy things, just leave them to the adults.

What worries Gu Shao the most is what Gu Xi has experienced in the Lin family.

With Gu Xi’s character, if it’s just being ignored in that family, Gu Xi shouldn’t have such a deep defense against the Lin family, or even strong repulsion and hatred, unless...

Thinking of this, Gu Shao's face darkened, and the danger in his eyes was frightening.

Gu Xuan on the side coughed lightly and asked Gu Shao: "So, I regret this proposal, how did you think about it?"

Gu Shao raised his eyelids: "Do."

Hearing this, Gu Xuan smiled: "Haha, this is not the end, I also support so much thinking about what to do."

Having said that, Gu Xuan said again: "By the way, Gu Yaobai has been unhappy in the country recently, but he has brought a lot of things to the southeast, and it is estimated that he has not taken advantage of Lin Yize's convenience."

When Mr. Gu released the news that ‘Gu Yaobai is not the biological son of Gu’s family’, he was not only venting his own granddaughter, but he was actually beating Gu Yaobai.

Companies that had business dealings with Gu Yaobai changed to a wait-and-see attitude. Some of Gu Yaobai's goods could not go out, so they had to export at a discount to countries in the southeast.

"But Dad is quite calm." Gu Xuan chuckled lightly and said again.

They almost believed that in the matter of Gu Yaobai's life experience, Mr. Gu must have a back hand, but they didn't expect that after waiting for so many days, he didn't even move.

Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xuan indifferently: "It's still not enough."

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you know what Dad is going to do?"

Gu Shao: "Probably guessed it."

After saying this, Gu Shao obviously did not intend to continue explaining.

Over there, Gu Xuan narrowed his mouth secretly: He bet that the second child was deliberate! Half talking.

Just thinking about it, two message prompts interrupted Gu Xuan's complaint.

Gu Xuan quickly read the news, and then looked at Gu Shao: "The monthly exam in their school?"

Gu Shao: "..."

At this time, the Gu family's boss happened to walk in. Hearing Gu Xuan's words, he gave him a shameless glance: "You don't know if your son took the monthly exam?"

Gu Xuan: "Then..." He really forgot to care about this.

The main reason is that Gu Chenyi didn't tell him when he went home.

Gu Xuan smiled, and listened to Gu Feng's question: "Have you received a message from the teacher?"

"The WeChat sent by the teacher said it was a parent meeting next week."

Gu Feng nodded, and it didn't take long for him to receive a group message from the head teacher of the three classes. The content was similar to that of Gu Xuan.

Hearing the exchange between the two parents, Gu Shao took out his mobile phone without a trace, then glanced at the message board calmly.

He didn't receive anything...



A few minutes later, a new message finally popped up on Gu Shao's phone.

But it's not WeChat, but mobile phone short message.

And it wasn't from the head teacher, it was a reminder of bank revenues and expenditures.

[Your secondary card with the end number 0717 is deposited in..., 52099 yuan, remarks: WeChat transfer. 】

Seeing this news, Gu Shao's eyes suddenly showed surprise.

Deposit? 52099?

Gu Shao's sight shifted, and the last message was in the afternoon [Your main card with the end number 0417 paid 50,000 yuan at 13:54. 】
