I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

“Did he say what it was about?” asked Gu Shao as he looked up.

Their meeting was originally scheduled for Wednesday.

“Yes,” said Xu Fei. “Mr. Qiao seemed to have already gotten in touch with some interesting parties who are interested in our products on his end. A few of them seemed to have shown great interest in our “MTM Oceanic Transportation Safety System”. As such, he wishes to meet up with you ahead of time and also would like to get a few prototypes from us……”

“How are the prototypes coming along?” asked Gu Shao.

“The team informed me while you were in the parent-teacher conference that the prototypes are more or less completed and should be okay for testing purposes.”

“Have them get them ready.”

“Yes, Boss.”

Gu Xi only understood half of what they said. Regardless, when she heard “Oceanic Transportation Safety System”, her eyes lit up.

“Is that the safety system for monitoring transportation over international oceanic areas?” asked Gu Xi.

Xu Fei paused a little when he heard that. Looking at Gu Xi in surprise, he nodded and said, “Yes. You know about this too, Xiao Xi?”

With the exception of those in the family, Gu Shao had never announced “Oceanic Monitoring System” to the public.

That was for the sake protecting Gu Xi.

As such, even Xu Fei didn’t know about it.

When he heard her question, he assumed that she had found out from Gu Shao.

“Uh huh!” Gu Xi nodded and looked very surprise.

She had merely shared her spur of the moment idea of possibly impacting Lin Yize’s illegal business with Gu Shao last time. She had not expected Gu Shao to be so efficient and had already have the product in development.

And, from the conversation between the two, the project had come pretty far and even its distribution channel had been arranged.

“Dad, is this ‘Security System’ the same one that I mentioned last time?” Gu Xi turned and looked at Gu Shao excitedly and wanted to confirm with him.

“Mmhmm.” Gu Shao gave her a definitive answer.

Gu Xi was pleasantly surprised. It was the same thing!

If so, did that mean her idea was feasible and that it could reined in Lin Yize?

The thought of her excited her even more.

“Is this system almost ready to be in use?” ask Gu Xi again.

“Not yet,” said Gu Shao.

The key to this project wasn’t the technology that was required to develop it but more its propagation and application. Per their data analysis, for this monitoring system to be effective, they would need the consent of 6 different countries and installations at 68 different locations.

“How long will that take?” asked Gu Xi.

Gu Shao found the way that Gu Xi was looking at him with her eyes sparkling, solemn and nervous comical and helpless at the same time.

He really didn’t want the girl to waste too much of her time on things like this.

“Within 6 months,” he said.

Gu Xi nodded when she heard that and grumbled in a low voice. “That’s not too bad then……”

In the novel, it took Lin Yize almost four years to become powerful. Six months’ time would not be too late.

Meanwhile, Xu Fei, from passenger seat, asked, “Boss, should we head over now?”

Gu Shao acknowledged him and he was just about to have the chauffeur take Gu Xi over to Old Mr. Gu’s place first when Gu Xi beat him to it, “I will go with you!”

The next second, meeting Gu Shao’s eyes, she was intimidated right away. Shrinking her neck some, she asked in a low voice. “Is that okay?”

She really wanted to find out how far along they were.

Gu Shao had wanted to turn her down but, meeting Gu Xi’s pitiful and anticipating look, he wasn’t able to turn her down.

Finally, the “no” that was at the tip of his tongue turned into “Are you done with your homework?”

“Yes!” Pausing, Gu Xi added, “I’ve finished it while you were at the parent-teacher conference.”

Gu Shao, “……”

“Boss, then……” Xu Fei chimed in at the most opportune moment. He looked at Gu Xi, then from Gu Xi to Gu Shao.

Gu Shao finally let out a sigh and said, “Okay, let’s go.”
