"I'm really pissed off! You're using this excuse to delay. Do you really think I don't have a temper?"

After the ceremony of inviting the immortals, Jiang Ning and his family's lives returned to normal.

Gan Yu continued to work as a secretary and ignored Shen He and Jiang Ning, but she also refused to work overtime.

But he also warned the two people not to cause any deaths for the time being.

As for Jiang Ning himself, he wanted to learn more while he was still young, and he continued to follow Gan Yu.

Also no overtime.

As for Shen He, she was a frequent visitor to the Adventurer's Guild, and like an ordinary woman, she learned how to cook, clean, and wash clothes, not by using any magic, but by doing it herself.

Gradually, the expressions on his face became richer, but only towards Jiang Ning.

Today, Keqing ran to Ganyu's office angrily and handed the documents in her hand to Ganyu.

There is a construction site that has been signed and all the money and manpower are in place, but they just won't start working, citing various reasons.

Keqing knew what was going on. Did they think they would no longer be Yuheng Star because of her disrespectful words?

So, Keqing directly called Yan Fei, the most powerful legal expert in Liyue Harbor, over and calculated on the spot the liability for breach of contract if they continued to drag it out, and only then did she let them sign and start the work.

"But she has signed it, Miss Keqing."

Ganyu's tone was indifferent, and compared to before, there was a bit more order in the way she addressed him.

Keqing and Jiang Ning are both well aware of this.

As a junior of the Rock King Emperor and also an immortal who fought during the Demon God War era, Ganyu regards the Emperor as an elder and admires this serious and responsible ancestor of all immortals very much.

Therefore, Keqing's words made Ganyu very dissatisfied. Although she would not cause any trouble at work, her attitude was a little distant.

Jiang Ning on the side quickly tried to smooth things over: "Well, Keqing, just leave it here. I'm responsible for the first document review..."

Keqing nodded: "I see, but Jiang Ning, these days everyone says that you are very capable at work. You are still so young, do you want to come to my side and train?"

Keqing doesn't have many people she can use right now, and is in a desperate need of talent.

Before Jiang Ning could say anything, Gan Yu said emphatically: "No need, Junior Brother can also train and learn by following me, so I won't bother Yu Hengxing."

Keqing didn't argue, just nodded and left. She still had a lot of work to do.

Ganyu looked at Keqing's leaving back and frowned.

You're disrespectful to the Emperor, and now you want to steal your junior fellow apprentice away from you?

That's really too much.

"Senior sister, calm down. Keqing doesn't mean any harm. What she said to the Emperor before was just out of consideration for Liyue."

Jiang Ning said.

"I understand, but I just can't accept it..." Ganyu sighed, "But, little brother, do you think Keqing's words are right or wrong?"

Jiang Ning said: "I think it's not entirely right, but it's not entirely wrong either..."

"You are quite cunning..."

Ganyu shook her head, thinking that her junior brother was just trying to smooth things over.

"Hurry up and finish the work."

There is a hint of anticipation and joy in Ganyu's expression.

"After returning, I wonder what Shen He did today?"

Shen He's cooking skills are pretty good. After Jiang Ning's instruction, his cooking skills are now at the level of home cooking.

...Although Jiang Ning is not very good at teaching people, Shen He has a high understanding of cooking.

Maybe it’s because I was always alone at home before, but now I have the warmth of family.

Ganyu no longer has to use overtime work to alleviate her loneliness and the feeling of being out of place in Liyue Harbor as a half-immortal, half-human.

"Anyway, there will definitely be vegetarian dishes, don't worry."

Jiang Ning smiled.

After chatting for a few more sentences, the two returned to their work.

Needless to say, work efficiency is improved.

37. Child labor in Yuehaiting

After a few weeks, Jiang Ning was successfully converted to a full-time employee.

Although he is not old enough, he has Ganyu as his guarantor and guardian, and his work ability is also widely praised by everyone.

This is success.

However, in the past few weeks, Ganyu's punctual work and leaving get off work have made other people in Yuehaiting miserable.

The workload increased all of a sudden, and some people couldn't help but go to Keqing and Ningguang to give their suggestions.

But he was directly criticized.

Keqing goes without saying.

Ever since the ceremony of inviting the immortals, she proposed that Liyue Harbor is the people's Liyue Harbor, and she promoted "rule by man", and she criticized it directly and mercilessly.

"If the chaos in Yuehai Pavilion is caused by Ganyu not working overtime and doing the workload of a normal employee, then what do the other people in Yuehai Pavilion do? If you are short of manpower, recruit more people. If you can't finish the work, work overtime. Don't think I don't know that Ganyu has done a lot of your work for you in the past."

Ningguang was a little more tactful, but only a little.

"It's my duty to help you, but it's also my responsibility not to help you. You can't just use this as a moral blackmail to others... Instead of hoping that Ganyu will return to her previous abnormal workload, why don't you reflect on why you can't complete the work? Is it because of your lack of work ability?"

Then, the originally abnormal situation of Yuehaiting, where most of the work was supported by Ganyu alone, gradually began to improve.

Keqing has made drastic changes. Ningguang from Tianquan Star and Tianshu Star, who has no floor, are all supporting Keqing's reforms.

Those who are incompetent and just want to live a life of idleness will be dismissed directly, while those with clean family backgrounds and abilities will be hired, regardless of their qualifications.

As three of the Liyue Seven Stars are not in Liyue Harbor and are temporarily unable to return, this can be said to be the unanimous opinion of the Liyue high-level officials, and those below can only accept it with a pinch of their noses.

As for Jiang Ning, he is very efficient at work, and the amount of work he is assigned is just the workload of an ordinary person. In addition, he is not very old, so he often finishes his work in half a day. The other half of the day is spent wandering outside, or accompanying Shen He to the wild to bully the ruins guards and the hillbillies.

That day, Jiang Ning was walking on the streets of Liyue with a skewer in his hand, and then he heard someone calling his name.

When he looked up, he found Zhongli standing there, and Jiang Ning waved to him happily.

Zhongli said, "Come up... You should be alright, right?"

Jiang Ning nodded and went up the stairs.

Found out it was a theater.

Although Jiang Ning had been in Liyue for some time, he had never been here before, so he couldn't help but look around curiously.

"Liyue's opera is truly unique. It's a pity that Liyue's famous actor Mr. Yunjin is not on stage today, but it is still worth watching."

Zhongli brought Jiang Ning to a private box and spoke slowly.

"I really don't understand opera...but I'm a little interested."

Jiang Ning said as he lay on the railing of the upstairs box.

"So, Mr. Zhongli, do you have something to ask me?"

Zhongli looked at Jiang Ning and said, "I heard that you have been recognized by everyone in Yuehai Pavilion these days. You can also go out to fight monsters in your spare time and save a lot of people?"

"Yes, we are all Liyue people, so we should help each other."

Jiang Ning said casually.

Zhongli smiled and sat down: "Don't call me sir from now on. Since meeting and saying goodbye are the etiquette between master and disciple, then just call me Master."

"Okay, Master Zhongli."

Jiang Ning immediately changed his words.

He could see from the side that his master Zhongli was very powerful, and his master Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun also directly warned him.

If there are other immortals who are willing to teach you everything they know, you can just call him master... Immortals are all comrades-in-arms. Although they don’t meet each other very often, they have a very good relationship.

That was why Jiang Ning called out "Master" without any psychological burden.

Zhongli nodded with a smile: "That's great... In the future, when you have time, you can come to the Hall of Rebirth more often. If there is anything you don't understand about the rock element, spearmanship, and immortality, I will explain what I know."

"Okay, Master Zhongli." Jiang Ning said.

"Okay, the opera is about to begin, let's take a look." Zhongli said this at last and stopped talking.

…………

After a performance, some people gave tips, especially some particular elderly people who directly took Mora and placed it on the top of the character's head.

"This is called the first prize, which is a recognition of individual opera performers. This income belongs to individuals and is not counted towards the entire troupe."

Zhongli explained.

"So that's how it is." Jiang Ning suddenly realized.

Zhongli gently rang the bell beside him, and a waiter came in from outside.

Zhongli held up the teacup and said, "Today's opera is acceptable... As a reward, 10,000 Mora will be recorded in the account of Wangsheng Hall."

The waiter outside said a few auspicious words and then left.

Jiang Ning was stunned by this. How could the reward be recorded? It seemed that his master had a very high status in the Wangsheng Hall.

Zhongli stood up and walked to the window, and Jiang Ning quickly followed.

Following Zhongli's gaze, I found that Zhongli was looking at a girl with a cloth hat on her head.

Jiang Ning was stunned. Although she had disguised herself a little and concealed her aura, as someone who often worked with Keqing and was very sensitive to aura, elemental power, he still recognized her at once.

"Keqing? Why are you here wiping the table?"

Zhongli explained: "This generation of Yuhengxing does everything by themselves, and they also think that going deep into the grassroots, listening to the voices of the people, and experiencing the lives of the grassroots people is crucial to the construction of Liyue."

"Therefore, in my spare time, I often disguised myself as a peddler or grassroots employee to conduct secret visits and experience, and then went back to revise my series of decisions."

"That's amazing..." Jiang Ning said sincerely.

Zhongli suddenly said: "In the future, you and her can spend more time together..."

"But, Keqing seems to be unhappy with Senior Sister because of something."

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment and said.

Zhongli smiled: "Ganyu? I can understand that, but Ganyu will gradually understand in the future. With someone like Keqing who is willing to think independently, I think the Geo King Morax will only feel relieved."

Jiang Ning said: "Oh, I see."

Next, the two chatted about some things in their daily practice.

After calculating the time and sensing someone coming upstairs, Zhongli raised his finger slightly to confirm that Jiang Ning didn't know what was happening outside, and then said:

"Sit down, we still have some time... Tell me, what do you think of what Yu Hengxing said before when he invited Xian Dianyi?"

Not only Jiang Ning was stunned, the person outside also pricked up his ears.

38. Comments on Keqing

"Master Zhongli, why do you suddenly ask this question?"

Jiang Ning was a little confused.

Zhongli said: "I am just curious. If it is inconvenient to talk about it, that's fine."

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment and said, "There's nothing I can't say... I just feel that Keqing is a little too radical. Her words and opinions are not entirely right, but they can't be said to be wrong..."

"Oh? Tell me more."

Zhongli said.
