Genshin Impact: The traitor doesn't even let his senior sister go

Liyue is a country of contracts where business can develop freely.

In such a free and relaxed business atmosphere, large chambers of commerce relied on their own size advantages to continuously defeat and swallow up their rivals, eventually becoming giants that monopolized various industries.

To deal with these giants, one must be a ruthless person who controls all the power in Liyue.

Song Yinjian's abnormal behavior this time was actually a retreat to advance, allowing Zhongli to give him unlimited power.

These methods were learned from Chiang Kai-shek, who was known as the "Transportation Captain".

...........................................

One day later.

The Criminal Law Department acted with swift and resolute force, quickly arresting those responsible for the dismissal of Qiao Yue and the thugs who injured Zhang Xiaoshun, and immediately made a judgment, sending all the criminals to prison to serve their sentences.

However, the Criminal Law Department did not impose any punishment on the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce, but only urged it to strictly abide by Liyue laws and treat workers properly.

However, this mild punishment caused a strong counterattack from the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce.

The Qianyu Chamber of Commerce brazenly announced a shutdown and officially issued a notice stating that Qiao Yue was fired for stealing clothes from the factory, and Zhang Xiaoshun was beaten for maliciously demanding wages, and all the female workers in the factory could testify to this.

Immediately afterwards, nearly a thousand female workers gathered in front of Yujingtai, loudly protesting the Criminal Law Department's verdict, strongly demanding that the Criminal Law Department immediately revoke the verdict and apologize to Qianyu Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Yuehai Pavilion was solemn and depressing.

Ningguang, sitting upright in the main seat, had a look of neither sadness nor joy on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Everyone, what are your opinions?"

As soon as the words fell, Keqing responded in a decisive tone, "The Qianyu Merchants are so reckless and arrogant. They must be severely punished. Otherwise, where will the majesty of the law be?"

Ye Lan, who was sitting across from her, said, "But the situation now is that everyone is saying the same thing, insisting that Qiao Yue stole something and Zhang Xiaoshun was maliciously demanding his salary.

If we really want to uphold the dignity of the law, we should release those who are imprisoned."

When Keqing heard this, she was filled with resentment and frustration, but she had to face the fact. If she really followed the law, it was the Criminal Law Department that violated the rules.

Uncle Tian said calmly and skillfully, "Let the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce pay some compensation to the families of Qiao Yue and Zhang Xiaoshun, and the Criminal Law Department should release them.

If everyone gives each other a way out, this matter will be over."

Although everyone present was unwilling to accept such an outcome, it was the best way to resolve the current dilemma.

In the end, the meeting passed such a resolution.

That afternoon, all the prisoners arrested by the Criminal Law Department were released.

Afterwards, the crowd protesting in front of Yujingtai also dispersed.

The storm gradually subsided.

When most people in Liyue mention Qiao Yue and Zhang Xiaoshun, they will only remember that one was a thief and the other was a malicious wage demander, and they couldn't rest in peace even after their death.

But is it really over?

Chapter 64: Bronze Sparrow Temple

After that day, Song Yinjian never set foot on Yujingtai again.

Even when he encountered some injustice, he did not interfere as much as before.

With his silent retreat, the wave of reform that was once brewing came to an abrupt halt, and the major chambers of commerce in Liyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

The intense reaction of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce some time ago was actually a test they carefully planned.

If the Seven Stars retaliate strongly, they will unite and launch an industry-wide strike and protest.

Fortunately, Qixing chose to back down and prevent the situation from escalating further.

Otherwise, they will also suffer huge losses. After all, if they go on strike for one day, they will lose one day's profit.

One afternoon, Song Yinjian, as usual, was lying lazily behind the counter like a salted fish, holding a light novel by Inazuma, "Reincarnated as the Thunder General, and Then Became Invincible", and reading it carefully.

Compared to myself, the light novel author of this novel is more capable of seeking death.

The plot of the novel is very interesting. It tells the story of a man who has experienced a life full of frustrations. By chance, he is reincarnated as General Lei Dian, and from then on he begins a legendary journey of avenging his enemies and killing them with his own hands.

The only thing that made Song Yinjian feel a little regretful was that the novel did not describe the unique feelings of a man after being reincarnated as a woman.

At this moment, a figure exuding elegance and luxury walked into the store with graceful steps.

With a smile on her face, she said softly, "Boss Song, you really seem to be enjoying yourself."

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian put down the novel in his hand and replied lazily, "It's Master Ningguang. Who left? Is it that old fellow, Uncle Tian?"

Ningguang's expression froze slightly, and she replied with a hint of anger, "No one has passed away. I just came to visit you."

Hearing this, Song Yinjian waved his hand impatiently, "I'm not a patient, I don't need your visit.

If you have nothing to do, leave now and don’t disturb my business.”

Ningguang ignored his attitude, took a deep breath, and continued, "The Seven Star Conference officially passed a resolution yesterday to temporarily halt the reform process."

After she finished speaking, her eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed tightly on Song Yinjian's face, trying to discern his true state of mind.

However, she was disappointed.

Song Yinjian's expression did not fluctuate at all, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

He said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Why would you give up so suddenly?" Ningguang asked solemnly. Song Yinjian's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he slowly extended his hand. "Give me 100 million Mora, and I'll tell you the answer."

As soon as he finished speaking, a check from the Qun Yu Chamber of Commerce fell lightly into his palm.

Ningguang opened her red lips slightly, and spoke like pearls: "Speak!"

Song Yinjian took the check and had a real understanding of Ningguang's generosity. He threw out 100 million Mora without even blinking.

He carefully put the check away, then gathered his expression and said seriously, "Because the time for reform has not yet come."

Ningguang was slightly startled, then immediately asked, "What is the time for reform?"

Song Yinjian shook his head slightly, then sat back down in his original position and continued to immerse himself in reading the light novel.

Seeing this, Ningguang said nothing more. She turned around and walked away, with the corners of her mouth rising slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

...............................

In midsummer, the sun is scorching, the trees are green and the flowers are blooming, and a vibrant atmosphere permeates the sky and the earth.

At the foot of Tianheng Mountain, a solemn and majestic temple stands tall.

After several months of careful construction, it was finally completed in this hot summer.

In front of the temple gate, Song Yinjian naturally and gently took the slender hand of Shen He beside him, and the two walked side by side.

Perhaps because Ganyu, Zhongli, Lishui and other immortals were watching behind her, a faint blush quietly appeared on Shen He's snow-white face, just like the clouds in the sky, adding a bit of gentleness and shyness to her cold face.

Gan Yu stared at the two people's backs as they walked away, and an indescribable feeling of bitterness and envy suddenly surged in her heart.

As you step into the temple gate, you will see a row of stone tablets as tall as a person, engraved with the life story of Tongque, most of which are greatly beautified and exaggerated.

Tongque was clearly just cannon fodder in the war between demons and gods, but he was hyped up as a hero second only to the immortal Yakshas.

In addition, many of his deeds were fabricated, such as the Bronze Sparrow Smashing the Jar, the Bronze Sparrow Giving Up the Pear, the Bronze Sparrow Fighting the White Bone Demon Three Times, etc.

Zhongli and the others were so frightened by this that their scalps started itching.

Walking around the stone tablet, what comes into view is a huge banyan tree that blocks out the sun. Its lush branches and leaves look like a giant open umbrella.

There were a few small wooden signs hanging sparsely on the trees, swaying in the wind and making slight noises.

There is a conspicuous sign in front of the building with the three big words "Wishing Tree" written on it.

Song Yinjian took the initiative to recommend it to Zhongli and the others, saying, "For only one hundred Mora, you can purchase a small wooden wish plaque. Write your wish on it and hang it on the tree. True Lord Tongque will then grant your wish a chance to come true."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rather strange expression appeared on everyone's face.

Li Shui was the first to lose his temper and spoke bluntly, "Isn't this pure fraud? With only a few remaining souls left in Tongque, how could he possibly make wishes come true?"

Chapter 65: Live Sales

Gazing at the majestic statue, a look of envy involuntarily emerged on Li Shui's face.

He cleared his throat and said, "Master Yin Jian, I have a friend who also longs to have a temple like this."

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian's face immediately revealed an embarrassment. "Uncle Lishui, although I also want to build a temple like this for you...your friend, I simply don't have the money."

Lishui asked enthusiastically, "How much money is needed?"

Song Yinjian responded seriously, "At least 50 million Mora. If the land also needs to be purchased, then it will cost 100 million Mora."

When Li Shui heard this number, his heart sank instantly. Although he had some worldly wealth, it was far from enough to reach such an amount.

Seeing this, Song Yinjian raised his lips quietly, "Master, I can find a way to make you some quick money."

When Li Shui heard the phrase "make quick money," his expression suddenly changed. "I would never do anything so shady as that!"

Song Yinjian waved his hand. "Don't worry, I'm just asking my uncle to bring the goods to you. It's not some shady business."

"Selling goods on site? What does this mean?"

Not only Li Shui looked confused, but even Zhongli and others standing beside him were also bewildered.

Song Yinjian patiently explained, "To put it bluntly, it's about promoting and selling products to the public on-site, but the process will be based on a pre-prepared script."

Upon hearing this, Li Shui said repeatedly, "This immortal would never do such a thing. What's the difference between this and a mortal merchant?"

Song Yinjian shrugged and said nonchalantly, "That's fine. I'm afraid your friend won't be able to visit the temple anymore."

Li Shui wanted to refuse outright, but when he saw the majestic bronze sparrow statue, he felt a strong desire in his heart, and at the same time a little unwilling to accept it.

Tongque was just an ordinary yaksha, while he himself was a renowned immortal king who had slaughtered countless evil demons during the war between demons and gods.

However, he has such a temple, but I don’t.

Thinking of this, Li Shui made up his mind and said resolutely: "Isn't it just to bring goods? This immortal accepts it!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian's face immediately broke into a brilliant smile. "Uncle Master, don't worry. As long as we work together well, we can definitely help your friend enjoy a temple even more magnificent than the Bronze Sparrow Temple."

Afterwards, in this hall, Song Yinjian explained to Lishui in detail the key points of selling goods.

Li Shui and Zhongli and others beside him were dumbfounded. They really had never expected that there would be so many tricks and routines in selling goods in the world.

If Song Yinjian were to enter the business world, he would definitely be a business genius surpassing Ningguang.

The explanation ended only when the sun was about to set.

After everyone agreed on the specific time to move the Bronze Sparrow Statue, they dispersed.

In the golden afterglow, Song Yinjian held Shen He's hand tightly and walked out of the vermilion gate of the Tongque Temple.

After walking a distance, he suddenly turned his head as if he had sensed something.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a solitary grave standing quietly in the wilderness in the distance, casting a lonely and desolate shadow in the afterglow.

He chuckled, then turned around again and walked towards Liyue Harbor. His figure gradually moved away and merged into the gorgeous sunset.

......................................

The next morning.

Ganyu had just left after breakfast when Chongyun and Xingqiu walked over together, holding hands intimately.

Seeing this, Song Yinjian couldn't help but frown and said with a stern face, "Chongyun, you are already an adult. You should know how to keep your distance from others."

Chongyun failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind his words and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Uncle Yinjian, Xingqiu is my best friend. What's wrong with being closer?"

Song Yinjian glanced at Xingqiu, who was standing beside him and looked even more feminine and beautiful than a woman, and sighed inwardly. Although you regard him as a brother, what he really thinks may not be the same.

He couldn't say anything directly, so he could only say, "It's always right to keep a proper distance from others. Uncle is doing this for your own good."

Due to his elder status, Chongyun had no choice but to agree, "Nephew, I understand."

Then, Song Yinjian got down to business. "Chongyun, what have you, the Chong family, considered? If we take over the operation of the Bronze Sparrow Temple, the living conditions of the Chong family members will be greatly improved."

Chongyun sighed softly, "Those less talented members of the Chong family will give up exorcism and go to work at the Tongque Temple."

The Chong family is a family of exorcists, and generation after generation, they have driven out countless evil spirits.

However, times have changed. In today's Liyue, the evil demons have long disappeared, and the Chong family has declined.

Song Yinjian nodded slightly and said, "Let them go to Tongque Temple tomorrow. I will train them."

"Okay." Chongyun responded.
