But now he had just arrived when Ningguang's secretary Baiwen came to greet him and personally took him to Ningguang's office.
"Advisor Song, how come you have the free time today to visit my little Qun Yu Pavilion?"
Ningguang sat behind the desk carved from pear wood, dressed in gorgeous clothes that looked like a brocade of stars, with a smile on her face.
Song Yinjian did not answer, but took out the dice from his hand and threw it to her.
Ningguang took it, glanced at it, and her expression changed slightly. She put the dice away, her expression becoming serious. "Advisor Song, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
Song Yinjian nodded slightly, "In that case, I won't say anything more."
After saying this, he turned and left, staying for less than a quarter of an hour.
As soon as Song Yinjian left, Ningguang immediately asked someone to invite Ye Lan over.
After Ye Lan entered the office, with an apologetic look on her face, she said, "Ningguang, I'm sorry, I still don't want to be the Seven Star."
Ningguang heard this, her expression calm, and she said calmly, "If it were before, I might have considered someone else to take the position of Seven Stars, but now, you must take the position of Seven Stars."
"Why?" Ye Lan was very confused.
She understood her friend. Although he was a divine authority beneath the gods, he didn't like to force others to do anything. Ningguang threw the dice to Ye Lan.
Ye Lan was a little surprised when she saw the dice. "How come the dice from Yanshang Tea House are in your hands?"
Ningguang said slowly, "This was given to me by Song Yinjian."
Ye Lan became increasingly confused, her eyes widening. "Song Yin Sword? How did he get this thing? What's going on?"
Ningguang looked at Ye Lan and sighed, "He works in the funeral business. He probably got these dice from the deceased.
If nothing unexpected happens, the deceased's death is closely related to the Yanshang Teahouse."
Chapter 56 Iwagami Teahouse
Ye Lan frowned slightly, her expression filled with depression. "I'm just an ordinary customer of Yanshang Tea House. Do I have to be held responsible for something like that just because I won so much?"
Ningguang retorted coldly, "Nine out of ten gambling cases involve fraud, and the notorious Fools are behind the Rock Teahouse.
I would like to ask, in this situation, how do you manage to win money frequently without the Fools giving you any trouble? "
Ye Lan was speechless for a moment, because she really couldn't say the answer.
She and Yanshang Teahouse maintained a certain tacit understanding and went together to win money from those gamblers.
But Ye Lan's real purpose is not to win money, but to obtain information about the Fatui.
But no matter what, such behavior is ultimately shameful.
After a moment of silence, Ye Lan asked, "Why did Song Yinjian do this?"
Ningguang stood up from her seat, walked gracefully to the window, and looked down at the bustling Liyue Harbor below.
She said slowly, "If this matter were raised at the Seven Star Conference, not only would you be in trouble, but I would also be in a passive position.
The worst outcome is that a seven-star seat that originally belonged to us would be given up, and the Seven-Star Conference would become his one-man show.
But by giving me the dice, he was showing me that he had no desire for power and only wanted to push for reform.”
When Ye Lan heard this, she understood why Ningguang insisted on letting her be the Seven Stars.
Song Yinjian has expressed his political goodwill and hopes that everyone will work together to push forward the reform.
We should also make the same expression, and taking the position of Seven Stars and vigorously promoting reforms is the best response.
She sighed softly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart, and finally agreed softly, "Well, I'll take this Seven Star position."
.................................................. ...............
Time flies, a month has passed quietly, and the world has gradually stepped from the warmth of spring to the heat of summer.
During this period, three major events occurred in Liyue Harbor.
First of all, there was the first Liyue Civil Service Examination hosted by the Qun Yu Pavilion.
As soon as the exam news was released, it caused a sensation throughout Liyue.
Throughout Liyue's long history, public officials had never been selected through open examinations. Previously, all selections were done through succession from father to son or through recommendations from acquaintances.
Ordinary lower-class people have almost no chance to become public officials.
During the registration period, the scene was extremely hot, with nearly 50,000 people applying for just over 200 civil service positions, some of whom even traveled long distances to register.
For many people living at the bottom of society, this exam may be their only chance in their lifetime to change their destiny.
Compared to the popular civil service examination, the selection of the Liyue Seven Stars has attracted almost no public attention.
Many people don’t even know who the new Tianxuan and Tianji are, they just heard that they are two women.
However, the major chambers of commerce in Liyue were extremely concerned about the selection of the Seven Stars. When the election results were announced, it was extremely difficult. The gates of Ye Lan and Hui Xin's houses were already crowded with representatives sent by the major chambers of commerce.
According to past practice, the newly appointed Qixing General Manager must meet and exchange greetings with the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce. The development of many future affairs will depend on the support and assistance of these business giants.
But this time, all the major chambers of commerce were turned away without exception.
This made them feel a little uneasy, as if a storm was about to come.
The last thing is that Qixing enacted laws strictly prohibiting pornography, gambling and drugs.
At Ningguang's instruction, the Criminal Law Department raided all brothels and casinos in Liyue, including the Yanshang Teahouse.
Almost all the people strongly support this law. No matter how formal brothels and casinos are, they will breed darkness.
Some gamblers strongly objected, but no one cared about them.
.......................................................................
As night falls, the bright moon hangs high in the vast night sky like a jade plate.
Song Yinjian sat cross-legged on his bed, his expression solemn and dignified.
At this moment, the aura around him continued to rise until it reached a critical point, and then the aura suddenly stagnated.
The next moment, it suddenly exploded, and in an instant, the intensity of the aura increased exponentially.
Song Yinjian felt abundant spiritual power surging in his body like a river, and his perception of the world became more acute.
After this period of hard work in "giving away", he finally broke through the foundation-building stage.
Open your system panel and it will show as follows:
Send to Hell System
Host: Song Yinjian Cultivation: Early Foundation Establishment (405/800)
Skills: Flowing Cloud Sutra (entry level), Insight into Yin and Yang (intermediate level, can view all information of the deceased)
System evaluation: The male protagonist is useless and it is recommended that he live off his senior sister and master.
Song Yinjian saw the system's evaluation and laughed. Did he look like the kind of person who lived off others?
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door, breaking the silence in the room.
Song Yinjian stood up and opened the door. In an instant, Shen He's cold and beautiful face came into view.
Her eyes were like clear cold stars, but at this moment they were filled with a hint of doubt and surprise.
"Junior brother, have you made a breakthrough?"
Song Yinjian raised his chin slightly, a look of complacency in his expression, "It's just a mere foundation building, not worth mentioning."
Shen He agreed and said, "That's right. It only took me one day to go from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment."
When Song Yinjian heard this, the pride in his heart was instantly swept away.
I just have a system, but she is completely cheating.
Then, Shen He raised his hand lightly and took out several bottles of pills and a pure white one-handed sword from his Qiankun bag.
"Junior brother, this is the remaining Yunji Pill I used before, it can help you practice.
This one-handed sword is the Frost Sword, a magical weapon given to me by my master. Now you can barely use it."
Song Yinjian quickly took the pill and the Frost Sword, feeling extremely happy.
System, you are really good at judging people!
I was born to be a gigolo.
He had a faint smile on his face, "Senior Sister, you've given me so many things, I'm afraid I can only repay you with my body."
Shen He heard this and thought about his words seriously. Then he shook his head and said seriously: "These things are not enough."
Song Yinjian looked into her crystal clear eyes and said, "Then, you must send me more things in the future."
"Yeah!" Shen He responded.
Chapter 57 Born to be a gigolo
Yujing Terrace, Yuehai Pavilion.
The Seven Star Conference is being held. What is different from previous conferences is that there are two more participants in this conference.
One is Ye Lan, who serves as Tianxuan and is in charge of intelligence and diplomacy.
The other is Tianshu's daughter Huixin, who serves as Tianji and is in charge of personnel and education.
Ningguang sat in the main seat and glanced at Song Yinjian who was sitting opposite her. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed more handsome than before, and his temperament was more ethereal and otherworldly.
She immediately withdrew her gaze, her expression solemn, and she began to speak seriously: "The topic we need to discuss today is the candidates for the vacant seven stars. Do you have any recommendations for candidates?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yinjian said directly: "I recommend Yan Fei."
"Advisor Song, you've made the wrong choice!" Ye Lan said with a frown, "Yan Fei is proficient in law, while Yao Guang is in charge of finance."
Song Yinjian responded calmly, "I didn't intend to let Yan Fei be in charge of finances, but rather to let her be in charge of laws."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, and they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Ningguang.
Ningguang's expression was calm and unperturbed. "I am the one in charge of the law."
Song Yinjian looked calm and said slowly, "The finances that Yaoguang is in charge of will be handed over to you. Professional matters should be left to professionals."
Ningguang thought for a moment, then said, "This arrangement is feasible."
She was already the most astute businessman in Liyue, and being in charge of finances was exactly what she wanted.
Ye Lan and others expressed their agreement.
Afterwards, some trivial matters were discussed at the meeting, and the meeting came to an end around noon.
As soon as the meeting ended, Song Yinjian ran to Gan Yu and asked anxiously, "Senior Sister Gan Yu, why hasn't my compensation been paid yet?
Gan Yu's clear and gentle eyes were instantly filled with guilt and apology. She bit her lower lip and said slowly, "Junior brother, I'm sorry. The process had already been completed, but somehow the Emperor found out."
He withheld the money and used it in your name to repair the houses of the poor people outside the city."
When Song Yinjian heard this, he felt depressed.
It was also my fault for being so mean a few days ago. When I was drinking, I had to show off in front of Zhongli.
Zhongli, this old boss, has absolutely no moral principles of war!
He decided to make a seafood dinner tonight to express his gratitude.
Song Yinjian waved his hand and sighed, "Never mind. Senior Sister, thank you for your hard work."
After hearing this, Gan Yu felt even more guilty.
She raised her hand slightly, and as her wrist turned, a flash of light passed by, and an exquisite and delicate purse appeared in her palm.
"Junior brother, this is my savings, it's not much, please accept it!"
Song Yinjian thought about it and decided to accept it, treating it as a "support fee" from his senior sister.
The system was not wrong about him at all; he was born to be a gigolo.
Gan Yu watched him accept the purse, the corners of her mouth raised, a sincere and relieved smile blooming, just like ice and snow just melting.
"Senior Sister, please come to my place for breakfast in the mornings. It's close to Yujingtai anyway." Song Yinjian smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.
Gan Yu wanted to refuse, but then she thought that she had already given him all the money she had.
If I wanted to have breakfast again, I had no money to pay for it.
