Liu Bai shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and looked at Kafka. "So you'll go to the Chamber of Commerce with me?" "Well, after all, as a secretary... in addition to managing internal affairs, you also need to manage official business." Hey, where did you come from, you ancient head maid? You are in charge of both public and private affairs... However, Kafka seems to be enjoying it, and now she is dressed in a very decent way, giving people the feeling of a strong woman. After the two parties separated, Liuying immediately received a text message from Kafka. On it is...the name of an inn. At first, you were asked to look for it yourself, but now you can make specific arrangements for yourself, right? Liuying was very angry. Then, in extreme anger... I was extremely angry for a while.
Provoked her firefly! Kafka provoked cotton! ——There is no way. I can’t beat him in a fight, and I can’t win in an argument. The other party still has the leverage over me. What else can she do? After staying here for a long time, the most useful thing she learned is - life must go on. Liuying let out a long sigh. However, there should still be enough time. She now...rarely wants to chop something. I remember hearing Xiao Guizi say before that there are Honkai beasts in some abandoned buildings in some deserted parks in the suburbs, right? ...set the building on fire. ………… "…Is it really okay for Firefly?" At the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Bai suddenly mentioned Firefly. "Or is there really nothing going on between you and Liuying?" "No, as for Liuying...she is a strong girl." Kafka didn't mind praising Firefly. "And he has a very stable personality. He won't cause any trouble." Stable personality... Well, Liuying was indeed very stable before Kafka came. She stayed in her room as a stay-at-home girl during the day and was occasionally pulled out to cook. From Liu Bai's perspective, her life was probably simple and boring. But Liuying still enjoyed it. However, since Kafka came, Liuying's activity level suddenly increased today, and her annoyed expression also increased - Kafka obviously caused Liuying considerable anxiety. It would have been fine if she was willing to run around with him, but this time she even started running around on her own. Well... Although Liuying is the most ruthless warrior among the Star Core Hunters and her judgment ability cannot be doubted, I am still a little worried overall.
"..." Liu Bai glanced at Kafka. Liu Bai rolled his eyes after making sure that this bad woman didn't want to say anything. Kafka still had a helpless smile on her face. It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but Liuying doesn't want to say it. She respects Liuying's opinion. Liu Bai brought Kafka into the Chamber of Commerce, and this time, Ye Lan quickly went out to greet them. "...Changed the bodyguard again?" There is no doubt that Kafka's strong presence makes everyone who knows Liu Bai mention Kafka first. "Secretary," Kafka corrected with a smile. Ye Lan had an inexplicable expression. ——As a spy chief with a lot of experience in judging people, Kafka really has a strong sense of abnormality. The temperament of a beautiful snake is not that important. "A dangerous element..." Ye Lan curled her lips. If such a person enters Liyue, at least ten people should be arranged to monitor him around the clock to make people feel at ease. "Let's go to my office." Ye Lan no longer cared about Kafka's affairs and took Liu Bai upstairs in the elevator. There are still two desks in the office, one for Su Mei and one for Ye Lan. "I thought you and Su Mei would work separately." Liu Bai glanced around and touched his wrist. "Please spare me. If I had a choice, I would definitely not choose the kind of job that requires using my brain." Ye Lan spread his hands. Su Mei next to her smiled. In other words, Ye Lan threw all the work that required thinking to Su Mei, so it was convenient to transfer them through one office. "Do you need to call Fu Hua?" "Master Taixu was here this morning, so I'll just talk about you this time." Ye Lan stretched and sat down on the swivel chair, letting Li freely carry her around in the chair for two circles. "First, business. Um... long story short, Ningguang has taken a fancy to you." "It's too short, make it longer." "You're very interesting, understand?" Ye Lan said as she turned her chair around like a child with nothing to do. "As a person of great power, you should have some sense of being a person of great power... Tsk, although it may sound a bit ridiculous when I think about it, you have transformed from a homeless alien to a hero who can 'eat at the table' in just over a month." Before he knew it - more than a month was too short a period to be considered "before he knew it" - Liu Bai already had the capital to bargain with Ningguang in Pingding's position.
"He's a businessman, does Lu Buwei know about that? Ah... forget it, why should I talk about history with an alien like you..." "I know." "Eh? Do you know?" Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, then muttered a word. As an alien, this guy was a little too good to be true, which made a local like her uncomfortable. "Well, it's easy to explain now. That's what I mean. If it doesn't help someone in need, adding icing on the cake is not bad either - not to mention that you are not considered 'icing' now." Mio Liu Bai's ability to integrate people other than Inazuma is relatively weak, and it can even be said that he is mainly based on transactions. Moreover, in the eyes of others, Liu Bai and Inazuma's relationship was not that close - who knew that the Inazuma upper class collectively had a brainwave and was ready to support Liu Bai as a general? However, leveraging momentum is still momentum, and in the eyes of most people, the difference between being able to leverage momentum and having momentum is not that big. It is often the people who can take advantage of the situation that can stir up the storm. If you only rely on your own power... that is called being an enemy of the world. Liu Bai nodded, agreeing with Ye Lan's statement. If Ningguang was willing to help him now, it could barely be considered as timely assistance.) "What exactly is it? Although the reason is very tempting, can you at least give some actual promises?" "You talk to Ningguang."⑸ "That's when we bargained." Liu Bai rolled his eyes - but Ye Lan was still spinning her chair and probably didn't notice. You don't even know the answer and you're talking to people about it. Are you crazy? At least give a rough estimate. "Basically, it's the intelligence support and internal preferential prices provided by the Chamber of Commerce." Ye Lan spread her hands. "As for military support... that's what you discussed with Ningguang. Oh, by the way, because of the Chamber of Commerce model, the organization of the lower and middle levels of the Chamber of Commerce is not strong, and the immortals are now on a parallel line with Liyue." "…Does that mean we can poach people?" "That's not what I said." Ye Lan simply waved her hand. "However, you'd better be mentally prepared. Ningguang has never lost money in business. If she invests, she must get something - of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be profit." "Ichiyoshi?" "Yes, spending money on kindness may seem like a loss, but in fact it is still a profit. You should be careful with your character. A gentleman can be deceived by his own ways, but it is difficult to deceive him by his own wrong ways." Ye Lan quoted another ancient Chinese sentence. "The literal translation of this is that a gentleman can be bullied by reasonable means, but will not be deceived by unreasonable deception... No, forget it, forget it." This sentence is not used to warn gentlemen, but to tell the world. Such words are useless to Liu Bai. It was precisely because Liu Bai dared to go up when he should that she was slightly fond of Liu Bai. There is no doubt that Ningguang is good at this. If Ningguang can reach an agreement with Liu Bai, it means that both parties are willing. If Ningguang uses tricks, it will be impossible to reach an agreement, or even if the agreement is reached, it will collapse. A gentleman is not a "pedantic scholar". "Tsk, anyway, although Ningguang looks kind, he is actually a bit troublesome. However, you can trust his character. I guarantee it." Although Ye Lan has been reminding Liu Bai not to be fooled by Ningguang, Ye Lan has to admit that Ningguang is actually a "gentleman", but her position is not necessarily the same as Liu Bai's.
"If you want, I can take you to Liyue directly after handing over the work at the end of this month. Of course, you can go later, but Ningguang's attitude towards you is not static." "I understand." Liu Bai nodded, "Is this official business?" "Yes, business." "What about private matters?" Since it was specifically stated that it was official business, does that mean Ye Lan actually has some personal matters? "As expected, you are quite perceptive. What did you do to the Ruler?" "Take it in and be your dog." Liu Bai glanced at Ye Lan. It’s not surprising that Ye Lan would pay attention to the affairs of the Ruler of Law. After all, Ye Lan is... actually quite free. After no longer having to take care of that unfortunate child Kiana, he basically devoted himself to the Herrscher, one for official business, and the other for revenge for the ambush he had suffered before. Women are very vindictive. "That medicine is Wu Yi Qi Ba Ba Ling Qi Liu 1." Ye Lan had a strange expression on her face, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Liu Bai could really do it. "I'm not as clear-headed as you are. Since you've done it, you must know what's going on. I won't say more." Ye Lan hesitated several times to speak, but finally chose to trust Liu Bai. In fact, what Liu Bai is doing now is a bit taboo, but there is nothing to say, after all, he is a herrist. Anyway…well, Otto did it too. At most, Liu Bai was more direct than Otto. He just fed people medicine and then kept them as dogs. "This is really a heavy trust... Do you want me to lend you a Ruler as a sandbag?" Liu Bai touched his wrist. "Get out." Ye Lan cursed with a smile. Although she holds a grudge, she is not so petty as to say that. "Alright, alright, now that things are finally over here, I have to go back. It's too comfortable here and I feel uncomfortable all over." Liu Bai rolled his eyes at this. You are tough, you are just talking tough, but you have been beaten down many times. If I weren't here, you would have become a combatant long ago, okay? In response to Liu Bai's gaze, Ye Lan, who had always been shameless, waved her hands to chase him away. As for thank you? sorry, we do not have that.
Ye Lan has already given everything she could personally, so now she is just a poor person, okay? "You won't take the bracelet back?" After stamping the document, Su Mei looked at Ye Lan with a smile. "I forgot." Ye Lan glared at Su Mei, "You didn't even remind me, deduct my salary, deduct my salary!" "Then it's not too late to call Mr. Liu Bai back now." "Hmm? Forget it, it's just a bracelet. Let him think about it himself. He can return it to me when he remembers it. The later he returns it, the bigger the favor he owes me." Ye Lan waved her hand nonchalantly. Su Mei smiled, but it wasn't a smile.
