Gu Xingyan finished her work at the bank and another day had passed.

On the way back to the industrial park, Datu asked her, "Boss, will you attend the World Expo competition tonight?"

If the boss is going to show up, the podium has to make some corresponding preparations, and some backup scripts have to be prepared for Gu Xingyan, and he has to interact with the host during the live broadcast.

Maybe it’s because she has been traveling long distances frequently recently, Gu Xingyan feels a little tired.

"No, this is not your first day organizing a competition. I believe you can do a good job."

"Understood, Boss, you should have a good rest tonight!"

Gu Xingyan replied: "Well, come on."

When she came out of the elevator, it was just past nine o'clock in the evening.

She didn't really give herself a long vacation, but went into the Phantom Winery, changed her perspective, and continued to follow the game.

At this moment, the two commentators were analyzing in unison the game that was about to begin tonight.

"Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of the second semi-final of the 'Plane Cup'!

"This match is undoubtedly a favorite. The two teams competing are the Underworld team versus the Heavenly Court & Flower-Fruit Mountain combined team!"

"Wow--"

"I still remember the peak battle between the Underworld team and the Technology Blue Star team. I have to say that the Underworld team is obviously very strong, but their luck in the draw was not very good."

"Yes, the last time we played against the human world, this time we are facing the heavenly world. Now some netizens are jokingly calling the underworld team the 'civil war harvester' haha!"

“It can be seen that the Underworld team attaches great importance to this game, and they have made some adjustments in terms of personnel allocation.

"The Black and White Impermanence who didn't appear last time are finally going to show up! I wonder if there are any fans of these two here?"

The scene immediately cut to the audience seats. On the side of the underworld delegation, the star contestant Black and White Impermanence was dragged up by other ghosts with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Ahhh come on!"

The ones cheering were the Underworld’s former defeated opponents, the Technological Blue Star delegation.

Regardless of the results of the competition, the underworld does have many household names.

The host continued: "More importantly, this time they have a clear commander -

"He is Bao Zheng, the King of Hell in the Fifth Palace!!!"

The cheerleaders' voices became louder, and it turned out that people from the Cultivation Blue Star delegation also joined in the cheering.

Bao Zheng stood up, with a stern face, bowed slightly to the surroundings, and then sat back.

However, the host changed the subject: "But I think the Tianting & Huaguoshan joint team made even bigger moves, replacing dozens of players."

The contestants from the Underworld delegation all turned their heads to look at their opponents.

Sun Wukong sat cross-legged on the somersault cloud, floating in front of his teammates, with his arms folded across his chest, his face full of confidence and pride.

On his left, Yang Jian was like a coach, completely ignoring the camera pointing at them, and was explaining tactics to the players around him.

On the right side of Sun Wukong, Nezha was sitting with his legs crossed and his arms spread out, while others were massaging his shoulders and back, as if he was not fighting in the Plane Cup but in a boxing tournament.

The host laughed and joked, "It seems that the Third Prince can't wait any longer. In the last match, the Heavenly Court & Flower-Fruit Mountain team didn't let the Third Prince play in order to hide their strength.

"But now it seems that the Heavenly Court F3 we are looking forward to will not gather until the finals. The Monkey King was replaced from the list for this game."

"Eh--"

There were voices of regret in the audience.

"It seems that the Heavenly Court & Flower-Fruit Mountain team is very confident of winning the second game!"

"Hilt, have you noticed that the personnel list after the major revision has gathered the thirty-six celestial stars, the seventy-two earthly evil stars, and the twenty-eight constellations!"

"Ah! Pearl, you're right! The Heavenly Court and the others might want to use a combined ultimate move to deal with the Underworld!"

"Haha, so, the Underworld team, you better be careful!"

"OK, now please invite the contestants to enter!"

"..."

The Phantom Tavern was packed with people, and there were no empty tables or private rooms to be found.

With the help of the waiter, Gu Xingyan found a small table for two where Janet was sitting alone watching the game.

"Boss, why are you here?" Janet stood up in surprise.

Gu Xingyan waved her hand, motioning her to sit down, and she sat down as well: "Just came back from the Plane Alliance."

Janet immediately called the waiter over and asked kindly, "Have you had dinner?"

Gu Xingyan had indeed not eaten yet, so she nodded and let Janet choose some fast food for her.

After the waiter left, she and Janet chatted while watching the game: "Why don't you go home after get off work? Aren't you tired now?"

Janet smiled and explained, "Since I absorbed Kunpeng's inner elixir, I have started practicing according to the Chinese method. My training speed has improved by leaps and bounds, and it's okay to practice all night occasionally."

"Where are Laila and Hadik?" Gu Xingyan asked with concern, "Will the children worry about you if you don't go home?"

"The children have grown up a long time ago," Janet said with emotion. "They have their own lives and rarely come home."

Janet's son and daughter grew up in the Plane Building and received special care from the Mermaid King. They both grew up to be very good adults.

The eldest son, Hadik, showed signs of mermaid reversion since he was a child. With the dedicated training of his grandfather, the Mermaid King, he can switch between human body and mermaid form freely.

Although the Mermaid King had thought of appointing a crown prince from another generation, before he discovered that Hadik had political talent, he had already announced to the public that he would select talented and virtuous people and could not go back on his word.

So, after a long talk with Hadik, the Mermaid King learned that the child also had ambitions in this regard, so he allowed him to enter the mermaid tribe's circle of power.

Whether he can defeat other candidates and win the support of the mermaid people as a half-merman depends on his own ability.

Therefore, Hadik basically does not live with his mother and sister now, but lives with his lonely grandfather in the mermaid palace.

- By the way, the Mermaid King's youngest daughter Pearl had been allocated a staff apartment in the World Expo plane a long time ago, and she moved out on her own because it was more convenient for work.

Janet's youngest daughter, Leila, is also half-mermaid, but she did not inherit any of the mermaid's abilities.

Fortunately, as an ordinary human being, she does not have the trouble of inner elixir and is very talented in water-based magic, so her life span is also not short.

Leila received a very special education, first taking online classes from Tech Bluestar, and then taking private lessons from Mermaid in elementary school;

In junior high school, he was classmates with the Planta kids from the interstellar plane;

Only in high school did he transfer to Xiuzhen Blue Star and take the college entrance examination;

After graduation, he naturally went to work in the Plane Building, a typical second-generation planner.

When Leila was very young, she made it clear that she wanted to stay in the Plane Shop, so Janet did not allow the Mermaid King to interfere in her daughter's education, but instead let her go to the other world as much as possible to broaden her horizons.

The cross-border talents that Gu Xingyan has been very scarce in recent years are young people like Leila.

She is only a deputy director of the publicity department now, but with her accumulated experience, once the opportunity comes, she will definitely be the best choice for Gu Xingyan.

I have to say that Ms. Janet is really a far-sighted mother who dares to act and think.

Gu Xingyan sighed what a coincidence, "Both children have reached the age where they no longer need a mother, and you came to the industrial park to take charge of the new store. This can be considered as pursuing a second career."

The two laughed and clinked their glasses lightly.

Afterwards, Gu Xingyan watched the game while chewing slowly and leisurely.

Janet noticed how tired she was and deliberately didn't mention work, instead chatting about relaxing family matters.

However, the job still came to me quietly.

A succubus waitress came over quietly and confirmed something with Gu Xingyan.

"Manager Gu, I have a customer who is in urgent need of money. When will the pawn shop officially open?"
