I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 221: [52,099 yuan had been deposited.] (2)

Gu Shao had no idea why his daughter was asking him for money all of a sudden. Nevertheless, he recalled that his sister-in-law had told him to raise a daughter in wealth.

Gu Shao fetched his phone and transfer the money over to Gu Xi over WeChat.

What he didnt tell Gu Xi was that her name as well as that of Sheng Xiuyan and Dong Mingming had been added to the T&Ss inventors list and that NTN would be offering them an official contract after the conclusion of the competition.

Gu Xi had no idea about Gu Shaos plan. She heard the ka-ching chime from WeChat coming from her phone and her eyes beamed as she fished her phone out of her pocket.

She clicked opened the application. She was stunned when she saw the amount that Gu Shao had transferred over to her. She was already pleasantly surprised when she saw Gu Shao transferring her 5,000 yuan. Lo and behold, she noticed that there were 4 zeroes after the 5.

She blinked and made sure that she was not mistaken.

Dad, did you key in an extra zero by accident? Gu Xi showed her phone to Gu Shao.

No, said Gu Xi nonchalantly.

Keep it. Consider the remainder your pocket money.

Really?

Mmhmm.

Feeling relieved, Gu Xi pulled her phone back after she received the confirmation from Gu Shao.

Thanks, Dad. And, I wouldnt just go and blow this money off! She reassured him.

She looked at the amount on her phone repeatedly before she finally, feeling contented, hopped off the chair and went over to the couch so Gu Shao could focus on his work.

Suddenly, another idea crossed Gu Xis mind.

Dad, theres one more thing. She hopped back over in front of Gu Shao. This time it wasnt to mooch more rainy day fund.

What is it? Gu Shao looked away from his documents.

Em, do you think you can work on a maritime safety monitoring system? The kind that can monitor and ensure the safety of cross-border cargo transportation over the sea. Gu Xi explained it as best she could.

Some other details in the novel had just occurred to her.

Even though Lin Yize, with his male lead halo, was powerful and wealthy at the beginning of the novel, his power, at this moment in time, has not yet reached the level of being unparalleled as described in the novel.

Lin Yizes power would probably grow in the years to come.

And a lot of his wealthy came from cross-border transportation.

Lin Yizes business was not as straightlaced as they appeared to be. He profited the most on many shady high-profit transportation in the gray area in the southeast countries.

As such, Gu Xi idea was whether or not they could rely on some official authority to monitor Lin Yize before he had struck wealth and nip it in the bud?

In the novel, NTN could even create the national space security system. There was no reason why they wouldnt be able to create a maritime monitoring system, right?

That was Gu Xis idea.

Gu Shao was a bit surprised when he heard Gu Xis word, but he did think about it for a few seconds.

Yes, we will be able to do that, said Gu Shao. After a slight pause, he added, however, But, transportations over the China seas are very safe. And that include that inflow or import of overseas goods."

"I know. Gu Xi nodded. That was exactly why Lin Yize chose to carry out his shady dealings over in the southwest countries, instead of involving China.

What if you are to sell them to some other countries? Say the area over in the southwest where the transportation over the international water is frequent and complicated and counties that experience difficulties in monitoring the areas? Pausing, Gu Xi added, You can sell the system to them.

Thats not a bad idea, said Gu Shao. Where Gu Xi could not see, there was pondering in Gu Shaos eyes.

Gu Xi had wanted to say something else but, just a second later, she was interrupted with a Have you finished your homework yet? from Gu Shao.
