Seeker of Teyvat

Wang Daoyi looked in the direction of the little hand and found that it was actually a small bookstall. Moreover, why did the person next to the bookstall look so familiar?

After taking a closer look, he sensed the stall owner's aura slightly.

Oh my goodness, it’s Xingqiu!

There were too many people at the market, so Wang Daoyi naturally did not use his divine sense to scan. In addition, Xingqiu was disguised, so Wang Daoyi did not recognize him at first sight.

If his aura had not changed, Wang Daoyi would not have been able to imagine that the bearded man in front of him was the 'Second Miss' of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Then Wang Dao looked at his stall.

Ha, as expected, it is "The Swordsman" by Chen Qiu.

Without showing any emotion, Wang Daoyi walked to the stall holding Nashida in his arms: "Oh, this is a stall selling novels and stories. Does Nashida like this?"

Nashida nodded: "I've seen comic books in children's dreams. They're great!"

Comic strip? !!!

Xingqiu was already very nervous when he saw Wang Daoyi coming over with a little girl in his arms, fearing that his friends would find out that he was setting up a stall to sell his novels.

Based on Xingqiu's understanding of Wang Daoyi, he was certain that the other party would laugh at him.

However, after hearing the little girl call her "masterpiece" a comic strip, Xingqiu couldn't hold back.

"Ahem, this is a novel, not a comic book." Xingqiu spoke in a deliberately hoarse voice because he was afraid of being recognized by Wang Daoyi.

Nashida tilted her head and looked at Xingqiu. Naturally, she saw through his disguise.

However, she didn't care about the disguise, but shook her head: "So many beautiful pictures, and they can be read together, can't they be considered comic strips?"

Nashida paused and asked, a little embarrassedly, "Do the people of Liyue call comic books novels?"

Wang Daoyi's face was tense, he almost looked like a cuckold - he couldn't help laughing.

Sometimes, what is most devastating is not vicious words, but an innocent truth.

Xingqiu broke through the defense.

If Xingqiu hadn't been afraid that Wang Daoyi would recognize him, he would have found a crack in the ground to crawl into right there.

"Ahem, no, no, Liyue also has comic books, but they are for children. Mine is indeed a novel, and these pictures are specially drawn to make it easier for readers to understand the content of the novel."

Xingqiu explained with a stern face, gritted his teeth, and a hoarse voice.

Nashida frowned. "But shouldn't a novel be about using words to construct an imaginary world for readers to experience? If a novel still needs pictures to help readers understand the content of the novel, then what is the meaning of the words in the novel?"

For Nashida, the philosophy she accepted was the philosophy of the Faithful Council. The Faithful Council’s philosophy on writing generally came from the School of Knowledge.

The knowledge theory school believes that words are powerful, so novels composed of words should have the ability to be fascinating. Using illustrations to help readers understand the content of the novel is obviously incorrect.

At the very least, such behavior in some sense represents that the novel is not well written.

Xingqiu once again broke through the defense.

“Uh…Pfft, hahahahahahaha.”

Wang Daoyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Nashida turned her head and looked at Wang Daoyi in confusion, wondering why he was laughing so loudly.

Xingqiu, who was disguised as a bearded man, had a bad feeling in his heart.

He looked at Wang Daoyi's wild laughter, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Daoyi?" Nashida couldn't help but interrupt Wang Daoyi's laughter, "What are you laughing at?"

“I’m… pfft…hahahahaha, sorry, I haven’t been this happy in a long time.”

Wang Daoyi couldn't help laughing, and while laughing he explained to Nashida, "This novel with illustrations is the latest light novel format that has become popular in Inazuma. It's different from Xumi's novels."

"Eh? So it's different?" Nashida suddenly realized, then pouted again, "Then, was Daoyi laughing at me just now?"

Wang Dao touched Nashida's little head and shook his head: "Of course not. How could I laugh at you just because Nashida is not familiar with these things? The reason I laughed is because this book was written by a good friend of mine."

"Ah, Daoyi's friend?" Nashida's eyes lit up with curiosity.

Nashida seems to have never seen Wang Daoyi's friend.

Well... Elhaisen doesn't count. Secretary Elhaisen is considered Nashida's man.

Noticing Nashida's curious gaze,

Wang Dao glanced at Xingqiu and said, "Do you still want to pretend? Take it off. I won't laugh at you."

Bearded man: "What? What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

There was a hint of despair in his eyes.

Online Q: What should I do if I write a novel and promote it myself and get caught by my friends and family?

"Xingqiu, Second Young Master, do you want me to ask Chongyun to come over and take a look?" Wang Daoyi smiled and raised his eyebrows at the bearded man.

Bearded man: ...

"Damn it, why are you here?"

Xingqiu wiped his face, and his beard disappeared, revealing his delicate face.

It turned out not to be just makeup, but something similar to a mask.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? Are you here just to laugh at me?"

"..." Wang Daoyi tried to hold back his laughter. "That's not the case. I just brought Nashida here for a stroll and happened to meet you."

Forcing himself to put away his smile, Wang Daoyi said seriously, "This is Nashida, a guest from Xumi, who hopes to learn about the differences between Liyue and Xumi."

Wang Daoyi looked at Nashida and pointed at Xingqiu: "This is Xingqiu, my good friend in Liyue. He is also the second young master of Liyue Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Well, his family also has business dealings in Xumi."

Xingqiu immediately placed one hand on his chest and waist and bowed slightly: "Dear guest from Xumi, welcome to Liyue. I am Xingqiu, and I hope you can have fun in Liyue."

Nashida also nodded to Xingqiu: "Thank you."

It’s not that Nashida doesn’t want to return the gift, it’s mainly because she is still being held by Wang Daoyi.

"Well, Nashida wants to know the difference between Liyue business and Xumi business. Asking Xingqiu is a good choice."

Xingqiu nodded: "Since you are Daoyi's friend, you are my friend. You can ask me any questions you have."

[Nashida and Xingqiu talked a lot. Xingqiu introduced Liyue's business model in detail, as well as some of Xumi's business models.]

After chatting, it was already afternoon.

"It turns out there are so many differences. This information has never existed in the void. Thank you so much."

Nashida thanked Xingqiu.

Xingqiu shook his head slightly: "No need to thank me, we are all friends."

"Ha, then I'll take Nashida to continue shopping. Xingqiu, you can continue to set up the stall by yourself. Wow, Albedo's illustrations are really good."

Wang Daoyi winked at Xingqiu.

Xingqiu's face froze, he looked at him fiercely, feeling secretly angry.

What does that mean? Mr. Bai Ke’s paintings are good, but does that mean my novels are no good?

What words, what kind of words are these!

All you do is say hurtful truths all day long. How hateful!

Farewell Xingqiu,

Wang Daoyi continued to walk among the crowd while holding Nashida.

After Xingqiu's introduction, Nashida looked at the stalls around her. She understood a lot about the operating logic of these stalls, but her curiosity about the goods on the stalls did not diminish.

Looking at Nashida's curious eyes, Wang Dao stopped from time to time, and soon, he had many scattered small things in his hands.

Well, they are all things that Nashida likes or is curious about.

"Hey, what happened up front?"

"Oh, it seems to be a business dispute. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Want to see it!"

Wang Dao nodded slightly and immediately hugged Nashida and moved over.

In the crowd, two middle-aged businessmen looked at each other, and there seemed to be sparks in the air.

"You are such a profiteer! The Night Stones you sold to me are all fake!"

"What do you mean fake? What I have is called artificial night stone. It was clearly written on the product list I gave you. You bought the product without reading the contract. Who do you blame?"

"You, you, you never said it was artificially synthesized before, and the sample you gave me was not synthetic either."

……

Listening to the two people's quarrel, Wang Daoyi quickly understood what was going on.

It was nothing more than that A provided high-quality samples to attract B's interest, but after B placed an order, the goods delivered by A were not the samples that B had originally seen.

This kind of business dispute happens every day in Liyue, and the General Affairs Department handles it every day.

Sure enough, not long after, an officer from the General Affairs Department came over, stopped the quarrel between the two, and wanted to take them back to the General Affairs Department.

Chapter 369: Contract, Obligation, Transaction, Fraud

Watching the director of the General Affairs Department take the two people away,

A large group of onlookers followed,

Watching lawsuits is also one of the favorite programs for Liyue people.

Compared with the stories that storytellers repeat every once in a while, or the various opera programs that Liyue is familiar with,

Lawsuits in the General Affairs Division always give people a sense of novelty.

After all, lawsuits are always different.

"Want to take a look?" Wang Daoyi lowered his head and looked at Nasida and asked.

Nasida nodded: "I want to see."

She was also very interested in the lawsuit;

Although Xingqiu and I chatted a lot about business matters in Liyue, the information we got from the chat was not as straightforward as looking directly at the lawsuit.

Seeing Nasida nodding, Wang Dao didn't waste any time and followed the crowd directly to the office opened by the General Affairs Department in the market.

The crowd followed the director of the General Affairs Department into the lobby, and the guarding Qianyan Army did not stop them.

It seems like a lawsuit is normal behavior.

The Seven Stars' instruction in this regard is to encourage, not to hinder,

As long as the onlookers do not disrupt the normal proceedings of the lawsuit, then the onlookers will be treated as if they do not exist.

After all, no matter what bill Seven Stars releases, it will only have credibility if it is sufficiently open and transparent.

Not long after, an official from the General Affairs Department came over.

He first looked at the information collected by the previous officer, and then looked indifferently at the two businessmen who were still confronting each other in the lobby.

Slowly he said:

"There is a dispute over the transaction of Yebo Stone between businessmen A and B. Next, the two of them will state the case."

"Party A will start with the statement. Please be careful not to lie, exaggerate, or make false accusations."

After saying that, the official from the General Affairs Department looked at Businessman A and said nothing.

In the lobby, both the onlookers and Businessman B became quiet.

It is common knowledge in Liyue that no noise is allowed during the trial, and violators will be severely punished.

"Businessman A was born in a village near Stratayan Juyuan. He opened Yeboshi Trading Company in May last year and now owns a property at No. 5 Pier Market."

Businessman A took a step forward and introduced his identity, origin, and business information.

"Three months ago, Businessman B came to my shop. After observing the samples of nightpoll stones in my shop, he placed an order for 12 molara of nightpork stones in my shop, totaling 120 kilograms, with a unit price of 1000 One kilogram of mola, the quality is low-grade and low-grade."

Yebo stone, a luminous Liyue specialty mineral, generally has two levels: bright and dim. Among the two major levels, there are five levels: upper-grade, upper-grade, middle-grade, lower-grade, and lower-lower grade. ,
