Chapter 23: Going to be Ripped

"…Is this Ganyu's resignation letter?"

Ningguang frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on her face.

"How could it be so sudden?"

She was not asking and answering the questions herself, but was always serving her trusted secretary.

Bai Wen immediately said respectfully: "According to the information we have, Miss Ganyu has been staying at home longer than before recently, and the number of overtime hours has also decreased significantly. The extra time is spent with a little girl named Yunshang."

"…Is it that child?"

Even though he was sitting high on the Jade Pavilion, Tianquanxing, who held great power, was lost in thought at this time.

She knew a little about the child. He had been sickly since childhood and his parents preferred newborns. A few months ago, a natural disaster occurred and all the people on the ship were buried at the bottom of the sea, leaving only this one child alive in the world.

The place where the child used to stay was no longer seen. Even if she wanted to comfort her, she couldn't go there in person. After all, if people knew about her relationship with the child, it would be a warning to her future husband's family.

It was natural that the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce would dislike her, but she would not embarrass him because of this. "People with different ideals cannot work together" was exactly this truth.

Rather than revealing your identity for nothing and putting the child in a difficult position, it is better to remain calm and observe for a while.

But Ningguang never thought about why it was her?

The child's appearance is very outstanding, but is Ganyu inferior to others?

This is not necessarily the case. The more important thing is——

There has to be a reason why people pay for something.

Regardless of her background or personality, the child is destined to have little chance of coming into contact with a workaholic like Ganyu.

But if it wasn't her, why would Gan Yu hand in the resignation?

There wasn't even any time for handing over the work, he just dropped the responsibility and left.

Of course, this does not mean that the Seven Stars cannot survive without her. Each of the Seven Stars has prepared their own companion star, from assisting with business affairs, setting up various meeting times, to tidying up the room, all of which are within the scope of the "companion star's" responsibilities.

Just like her knowledge, understanding and savvy, Ningguang expected that if Ganyu had any problems, they would naturally take over temporarily.

Although she respects and admires Ganyu's contribution to Liyue for more than 3,000 years, she never intends to become overly dependent on her.

No matter how excellent Ganyu's abilities are, it is important to be aware that many important matters can easily lead to mistakes without her knowing it if she does not personally review them.

Especially Ganyu's personality, which makes her get so nervous that she loses her composure when facing important moments. How can she feel at ease if she doesn't help watch?

"Then... Lady Ningguang. Should we go and ask Lady Ganyu to come back?"

Bai Xiao asked.

"Well, now that Ganyu has found what she wants to do, it's time to free her from this long contract—"

Thinking of the situation of those two people, Ningguang finally softened her heart. She tore up the paper with the information written on it, speaking in a calm tone.

"Send a notification to the other seven stars as well. I believe they will have similar ideas as I do."

Just as Ningguang expected, Ganyu had just resigned in the morning, and by the afternoon everyone in Yuehai Pavilion knew about it.

Some are happy and some are sad.

For those mortals who admire Ganyu, they may never see her again after this farewell. However, for those who are quite confident in their own abilities, they also believe that they can take this opportunity to rise to the top, and then win the favor of the Seven Stars, and have a smooth journey from then on.

However, before everyone could recover from their reluctance, the massive amount of work that was originally handled by Ganyu instantly overwhelmed the three people who came to fill in the positions, Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi.

Even a half-immortal like Ganyu needs to work overtime every day to handle the workload, which is obviously not something that three people can handle.

In just two days, they were overwhelmed by the workload, which was far heavier than ever before. At the same time, a large number of complaints were sent to Yuehaiting like snowflakes.

It was not until she alarmed the Seven Stars of Liyue that Ningguang realized that perhaps it was not that Ganyu was indispensable to Liyue, but that Liyue was indispensable to Ganyu.

This also means that the Seven Stars’ previous attitude towards Ganyu has to be rewritten.

There is no way. Even Ningguang cannot handle her own government affairs while taking on all the tasks that fall within Ganyu's job scope.

Not to mention that she couldn't finish it, even if she could, the other seven stars of Liyue would not agree.

That meant that Yue Haiting completely became Ningguang's one-man show, and no matter what she wanted to do, the other seven stars could not stop her.

This is hardly good news for the other seven stars, or even most Liyue merchants.

Merchants value profit. Who knows how Ningguang will make a fortune after becoming second only to the man?

Although most of these rumors are unfounded, that position is so respected that it is absolutely beyond the reach of "human beings".

If Ganyu had intended to form a clique for personal gain, then over the past three thousand years, all the seven stars of Liyue would probably have been nothing more than puppets to her.

With this in mind, Ningguang decided to go find Ganyu in person and ask her to come back to work.

Even though this would make the Seven Stars lose face, there was nothing that could be done about it.

If things continue to pile up, once Yuehai Pavilion comes to a standstill, Liyue Harbor will really be in chaos.

Now they are only holding on temporarily thanks to Liyue's excellent talent mechanism, but humans are not immortals, and they don't have the energy of semi-immortals to go without sleep for ten days or half a month. In fact, Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi have already compressed the time for eating and sleeping, but they are still in a trance.

Even no one is responsible for Ningguang's daily life.

That afternoon.

Ningguang visited Ganyu's home in person.

Tianshuxing also came with her. This elderly uncle also had a sad look on his face.

"Since Sister Ganyu left, we have finally realized what kind of burden she had to bear in the past. Now we have the audacity to invite her back. We are really ashamed..."

"When Ganyu comes back, we can raise her salary as Yuehaiting's secretary, and all her benefits will be based on the Seven Stars."

Ningguang is more pragmatic, but to be honest, it is hard to say whether this material means are effective.

After all, Ganyu's work experience of more than 3,000 years, even if only her basic salary is taken into account, is probably enough for her to build a "Zhaixing Pavilion" that is ten times larger than her current "Qun Yu Pavilion".

Especially since Ganyu usually eats vegetarian food and consciously controls her appetite. Yue Haiting is also responsible for most of the expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation. No one would believe that Ganyu would be short of money.

But apart from this, what can the Seven Stars of Liyue give Ganyu?

The hard approach is definitely not an option, the soft approach can only show that you value Ganyu very much, and then try to see if you can convince the other party.

While waiting, Ningguang was constantly considering how to persuade Ganyu to come back.

However, there was no response from the other side of the door.

Until the lunch break was over, there were even two more Seven Stars coming to visit.

No one still saw Ganyu.

"...Sister Ganyu, has she already returned to Xianfeng to practice?"

Uncle Tian said uncertainly.

He has known Ganyu since childhood, and the name "sister" has been kept since then. From the young man full of vigor and vitality at the beginning, to the Liyue Seven Stars who can see through people's hearts.

During this period, Ganyu provided him with a lot of help. Now that she left without saying goodbye, he felt really regretful and deeply guilty.

In the past, they had never considered Ganyu's contribution, but instead took her efforts for granted. Now that she has chosen to leave, she will probably have no choice but to return to the Immortal Peak.

"No hurry. I think she might be somewhere else."

Ningguang was very sure that Ganyu would not leave Liyue Harbor at this time. Her intelligence network was not just there to do nothing, so they would not be so ignorant as to not even know that someone had run away.

At the moment, the most likely possibility is that he went to the little girl's home.

In fact, at this time, I have just woken up from a nap, right?

the other side.

Yun Shang woke up from her sleep in a daze. Comfortable warmth was coming from the quilt, and at the same time she felt a slight pressure on her shoulder.

I could feel a slender finger gently resting on the edge of my lips, motionless.

Was it that Sister Ganyu treated me like a dress-up doll while I was sleeping?

Yun Shang couldn't help but think so, but what was unexpected was -

She didn't have any resistance.

She could feel a sense of affinity around Sister Ganyu, as if they were sisters connected by blood.

It’s just that Sister Ganyu is a half-immortal, and although her parents in this life also have good looks, they are just mortals.

Even if we trace back to the past, the Yun family has nothing to do with immortals or anything like that. It is still unclear whether they existed as long as Ganyu or not.

Therefore, Yun Shang felt that the idea of ​​finding a door for love in the previous life was too far-fetched.

Sister Ganyu is the chief secretary of Yuehai Pavilion, she holds an important position and has seen countless people. I am only able to be taken care of by her because of the affection of Master Zhongli. If I interpret it carelessly, I will be like a boy entering puberty, who is provoked by a gentle girl and then rejected.

After all, at this point, she actually has no doubts about whether there is a problem with her sexual orientation.

So, it’s normal to think about these things, right?

As the body grows and matures, the secretion of hormones in the body will naturally lead to some beautiful thoughts.

That’s right, caring about and having a crush on pretty girls is just the inevitable result of being honest with your heart.

"Um...you're awake? What time is it?"

Sister Ganyu was also sleeping in a nearly slumber like her.

She has been busy with work all the time, and her only rest time is basically during lunch break.

The rest of the time he is either working overtime or on his way to work overtime, so it's not surprising that he looks so sleepy now.

Yun Shang also made a rough guess based on her physical sensation.

"It should be around three in the afternoon, right?"

Speaking of taking a nap until this time, even a pig wouldn’t sleep like this.

Besides, Master Zhongli didn't come to look for her, so when she arrived at the Hall of Rebirth later, she would definitely be teased by Hu Tao.

Ever since she knew that Yunshang had a beautiful older sister taking care of her daily life, she would often say something about wanting to come over and enjoy life.

However, whenever she was about to carry out her plan, Master Zhongli or Grandpa Hu would "happen" to stop her.

As time went by, Hu Tao rarely mentioned it, but it was obvious that she was always thinking about it.

Looking at it this way, does it mean that even though I have a childhood sweetheart, I am still cheating on the "big sister who fell from the sky"?

Although there is no one-on-one rule in love in the world, if one party wants to violate it, the other party has no choice but to punish him or her afterwards.

I hope I don’t become such a bad girl.

While thinking this, Yun Shang tried to get up, but the soft body in the quilt pressed even tighter to her.

Perhaps because she was thinking about something bad before, the girl's fair and transparent skin suddenly turned a little pink.

"Wu...Sister Ganyu?"

Gazing at her wet eyes like a deer, Ganyu felt a sense of morbid satisfaction as well as a hint of inquiry.

She moved closer to her more boldly, as if she wanted to merge her into her body. The beautiful jade balls on her chest also took on a more alluring shape at this moment.

"Um...?"

Ganyu responded with a nasal tone that was slightly doting.

This natural look, as if she didn't know what she was doing that would arouse people's imagination, made Yun Shang even more afraid to move.

I could only pretend not to notice and suggested quietly.

"Well, lunch break has already passed for a long time. Doesn't Sister Ganyu still have work to do at Yue Haiting? If you don't go there now, you'll be late—"

"It's ok."

"Eh?"

"...The old contract has ended. What I am signing now is a new one..."

This was also agreed and approved by the Emperor as compensation to her sister.

“Is that so… Although I’m not qualified to comment on this matter, congratulations, Sister Ganyu!”

Yunchang also knew about Ganyu's contract.

After all, this is a country of contracts. No matter whether it is a small vendor shouting in the streets or the powerful Seven Stars of Liyue, no one can leave the contract.

Being able to free yourself from the constraints of a contract may not be a bad thing.

But I don’t know what this new contract is.
