It can't be that he is here just to take care of himself, right?
In that case, what kind of identity does Master Zhongli have?
Although she had considered the Rock King, but for some reason...
Compared to that status that was too far away, she felt that he was just a father who wanted to make up for his daughter.
Whether it was eating, drinking, or having fun, it seemed that Master Zhongli would prepare something for her as long as he could think of it and do it.
Now, there is also the matter of Sister Ganyu...
Maybe it will be necessary to ask Master Zhongli later.
While the girl was daydreaming, she felt a force on both sides of her cheeks.
Looking closely, Sister Ganyu was pinching her face as if punishing her.
"Sister Yunshang, you are in the same bed with me, but you seem to be thinking about someone else... Can you tell me who you are thinking about?"
Although the smile was still gentle and the appearance had not changed, the empty eyes that seemed to be missing pupils and lacked focus were really frightening.
"No, that's not the case!"
"No, then why don't you dare look me in the face... As expected, are you lying after all?"
"Well--!"
The force on both sides of my cheeks became stronger, and if it continued like this, it would leave red marks.
If Walnut saw this, she would definitely ask what was going on, and then be forced to tell him about the nap.
After this, she, as the ceremonial attendant of the Toseido Hall, will be kicked out by her own boss! ?
While Yunchang was thinking about how to argue, the door bell outside the room rang, indicating that a visitor had arrived.
A timely rain has arrived——?!
Chapter 24 Refusing to Resume Work
“…Sister Ganyu! Someone seems to be outside. How about letting me open the door?”
With the unexpected knock on the door, the girl suddenly straightened up. While escaping from the clutches of the devil, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although I don’t know why I feel so weak against Sister Ganyu, perhaps this kind of big sister who is usually gentle but occasionally reveals an irresistible side has such a natural deterrent effect.
"..."
Ganyu just lowered her eyes and looked at her for a moment, then sat up as well.
"No, that's not necessary. Sister Yunshang is not in good health, and I was entrusted by Mr. Zhongli to take care of you. How can I let you do these things?"
There was just the right amount of distance in her words.
Define this care as being entrusted by someone, thereby reducing sister Yunshang's resistance.
You can reject me, a person you have only known for a short time, but you will never reject your own master...
Because of this, Ganyu was able to take the initiative. Otherwise, if Yunchang was asked to open the door, let alone who was coming, Yunchang would not want others to see her silly look when she woke up from her nap.
Want to monopolize, unwilling to give up -
So, there is no other way but to use some adults' dirty tricks, right?
Thinking of this, Ganyu left the warm bed with the body temperature of both of them, tidied her clothes, and after making sure that she had not acted impolitely, she walked slowly to open the door.
The person who knocked on the door earlier did not continue knocking rudely, as if waiting for the person inside to respond.
This patience somewhat reduced Ganyu's annoyance caused by the delay.
But when she opened the door—
The group of people who gathered outside made her subconsciously want to close the door. Perhaps they noticed her sudden change in expression, and Ningguang, who was in the lead, spoke in a gentle voice.
"Good afternoon, Ganyu. I am sorry to have come here. Have I disturbed your rest?"
Strictly speaking, although on the surface there is a superior-subordinate relationship between her and Ganyu, as in the case of Tianquan and secretary, in fact everyone knows that in Liyue Harbor, except for the Emperor and other immortals, no one is older than Ganyu.
Therefore, getting along with Ganyu is not a matter of common sense. You must carefully taste her words and actions to understand her true intentions, despite her gentle temperament and a bit of evil in her heart.
And just now, she saw an unhappy expression on the face of Ganyu, who was always natural and gentle.
...This low pressure of not wanting to be disturbed is undoubtedly a sign that the other party is "angry".
So, Ningguang apologized very straightforwardly. If the people in the business bureau saw this, they would probably be shocked.
Everyone knows that Tianquan Ningguang is omnipotent and highly respected both inside and outside the home, but now he surrenders so decisively, which is really rare in life.
"…I'm fine. What can I do for you?"
Ganyu's expression recovered a little, but it was not yet welcoming, and her figure continued to block the door.
This was certainly not polite, but everyone present had something to ask of her, so no matter how bitterly they smiled in their hearts, they dared not show it.
Unlike some people with bad intentions, Uncle Tian actually feels ashamed of coming over to disturb others, especially asking about the location of other people's friends in private and even blocking their doors. If it weren't for an emergency, he would never agree to do so.
"We are here to ask Sister Ganyu to temporarily resume our duties. Yuehai Pavilion is now without you, and the accumulated government affairs and pending matters are close to the limit. The other members are also unable to handle them for the time being..."
When Tian Shu mentioned this, he lowered his head deeply. He did not feel that he was equal to Tianshu because of his status as Tianshu Star, but instead kept a very humble attitude.
"I hope you can help Yuehai Pavilion out of our misfortune first. Once the crisis is resolved, it will be up to Sister Ganyu whether to stay or go. We will never break our promise."
There were also some people who were close to him in the same faction. After they expressed their opinions, Ningguang said slowly, "Of course, after this incident, we also found that Ganyu's work in the past could not be done by one person, so we should provide compensation for it."
"...I don't need it. I don't plan to go back, so please find someone else."
In response, Ganyu simply shook her head calmly.
Ningguang's originally gentle smile also faded slightly, and a hint of consideration flashed across her ruby-like eyes.
The worst happened.
She was not afraid that Ganyu would not make any request, but she was afraid that she would directly refuse.
That means that unless the Seven Stars of Liyue can ask the Emperor to act as a lobbyist, no one else can do anything.
But how much face do they have to ask the Geo King to come and ask Ganyu to resume work?
But don’t forget, Ganyu has never signed a contract with the Seven Stars of Liyue, but is directly under the command of the Emperor.
Her secretary position at Yuehai Pavilion was only to better assist the Liyue Seven Stars in handling government affairs.
And now that Ganyu has given up her job, what does this mean?
Emperor Yanwang also agreed to this.
Otherwise, with Ganyu's character, she would never abandon her responsibilities, violate the contract, and choose to resign.
However, with her workaholic personality, is there really anything that can move her and make her give up her job?
When Ningguang thought about the information collected by her intelligence network, she felt a sense of disharmony.
But now is not a good time to find the source of what is wrong. At least we need to continue the conversation first, otherwise this trip will be completely in vain.
"Since Ganyu is unwilling, we can't force her to stay. However, we, the Seven Stars, have been under your care for a long time. If we part ways now, I'm afraid we will be known as heartless and ungrateful."
Ningguang's expression was still gentle, and her tone was filled with a hint of reluctance and sadness.
If it were any of those wealthy young men in the business world of the past, a captain who traveled around seven countries, or a successful young businessman, wouldn't they all stare with their eyes wide open, hoping that everything would go according to her wishes, just to win a smile from a beautiful woman?
However, for Ganyu, it just made her plan to listen to one more sentence.
Ningguang also seized this opportunity and tried.
"I wonder if Ganyu would be willing to have a private chat with me so that I can host a banquet for you and show our friendship as colleagues over the years."
"..."
Ganyu originally planned to refuse directly, but when she caught a glimpse of the girl sneaking towards her in the yard.
Finally, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "Okay. But... I'm only accepting the invitation from Tianquan. Ganyu appreciates the kindness of my other colleagues."
The seven stars and companion stars behind Ningguang looked at each other, and finally Uncle Tian spoke.
"Since Sister Ganyu has made such a decision, we should obey her."
At the end of his words, he bowed deeply to Ganyu again.
"We will never forget your kindness in supporting us over the past few decades. If there is anything we can do to help Sister Ganyu in the future, please let us know and we will definitely help you."
"……Um."
Indeed, if it were in the past, Ganyu would probably feel a little touched.
However, being called Sister Ganyu now did not move her at all.
Because her sister is waiting for her inside, and this time she will solve all worries and stay with her until the end.
Chapter 25: Jade-faced White Fox
That night.
Ganyu accepted Ningguang's invitation and had a final chat at the "Liuli Pavilion".
There are two famous dishes in Liyue, representing the highest level of their respective factions: Liyue cuisine "Liuliting" and Yue cuisine "Xinyuexuan".
The two stores have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and are still evenly matched today.
Now, the owner of Liuliting has specially opened a store in Feiyunpo, which is only a few steps away from Xinyuexuan, as if he wants to completely decide the outcome of this generation.
To put it in a relatively simple and easy-to-understand way, these two types of cuisine are that Li Cai mainly promotes mountain delicacies, while Yue Cai mainly promotes seafood.
In fact, these were the two mainstream flavors before Guiliyuan and Liyue Harbor merged. Now that they have merged into one, it is not surprising that the two food cultures are in conflict with each other.
After all, for Ganyu, it was true that she had a period of time when she loved gourmet food, but that was also because when she was cultivating on the immortal peak of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun in the past, she ate either Ganlu or Qingxin every day and rarely paid much attention to anything.
Until the bitter snow, that is, the first snow of my younger sister, came, in addition to the cool clouds and mist above the fairy peak, there was also smoke from cooking, which gave this place far away from the world a bit more worldly flavor.
Tasting delicious food was also a habit she developed at that time. It can be said that after her appetite was completely taken away by her sister, Ganyu found it difficult to swallow other coarse food.
In addition, the Qilin clan is a natural vegetarian, so the amount of food they can eat is greatly reduced.
Among the marine delicacies represented by Yuecai, although some seaweeds and sea mushrooms are edible, generally no one would take them as a staple food, right?
Therefore, the Liuli Pavilion, which serves a lot of wild delicacies, is naturally Ganyu's first choice in her spare time, and there is an even more crucial reason for this.
Not only Emperor Jun, but also Kuxue... both of them hate seafood.
If the Emperor dislikes seafood because of certain experiences in the past, then the younger sister simply doesn't like to eat it.
It can't be said that she avoids it, but she generally doesn't make it as the main dish. Maybe because of this reason, she doesn't like moon dishes very much.
Or perhaps, in the years since her sister left, she has long been accustomed to isolating herself and will not step out of this social circle. She just wants to live in a daze like this.
Now, from the choice of food, it is enough to see that the influence of the past is still binding Ganyu.
Ningguang could naturally see this, and she was not surprised. She just thanked Ganyu for her hard work and contributions to Liyue, and then toasted her in her personal name. She did not mention the matter of letting Ganyu return to her post at all.
However, Ganyu knew very well that it was not that Ningguang did not want to talk about it. It was that she had found a more suitable way. There were so many people this afternoon, and she was worried about something, so she did not say it. Otherwise, if she really exposed that matter, it would undoubtedly be more shocking than Ganyu's resignation.
Therefore, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.
Ningguang still had that sweet smile on her face, a slight blush on her cheeks, and the sweet fragrance from her breath made people fantasize.
"Ganyu. As a Tianquan, I have said everything I wanted to say. Privately, as a friend, I also have something I want to confirm with you."
"Excuse me?"
"Yunshang."
Ningguang uttered these two words softly, and also carefully observed Ganyu's expression.
She believed that if this child was involved, Ganyu would never be so stubborn again.
"Does she have anything to do with what Tianquanxing wants to say?"
Ganyu just looked at her calmly, as if she had already guessed this.
Ningguang maintained a gentle smile and continued to speak softly.
"She has nothing to do with Tianquan, but with Ningguang. I believe Ganyu also knows what the foundation of my huge intelligence network is built on, right?"
"..."
Ganyu did not answer.
