Yes, Lady Funina!

It is hard to imagine that the two ladies who were sipping tea and praising each other's elegant taste were just arguing over a staffing ratio issue. Metaphors, exaggerations, sarcasm... all imaginable methods can be found in the mouths of the two supreme beings, and they fought to the point that even the main idea was erased.

To put it simply, the fight was like a negotiation.

However, whether it was Finina or Yae Shenzi, their own qualities were still very high and they did not utter a single dirty word from beginning to end.

It's the kind of conversation that uses very polite words but can make you lose all your face and feel humble to the core.

Richard had seen the sharp words of Yae Shinto before, but it was Furninna's performance that surprised Richard.

He didn't expect that this girl had such a side to her, which really impressed him.

Next time when I deal with her, I must first take the upper hand and not give her any room to talk back.

"Ms. Finina, the theory of the seven-nation economy of Teyvat that you mentioned just now is very novel. Could you please tell me who proposed it?" Yae Shinto asked curiously, crossing his fingers on his abdomen and leaning forward slightly as if listening.

Finina looked at Richard beside her. She had heard that theory from Richard, but she really didn't know who proposed the theory.

Even Funina herself still has only a vague understanding of this theory. She only knows that if they develop according to this theory, they will be able to earn a lot of Mora in the future.

As for the principle... as long as you don't go against the laws of nature, it's fine.

"Richard told me this principle. He should know who the specific author is." Funina turned the topic to Richard.

"Oh? I wonder if Secretary General Richard could tell me the name. I would like to visit this outstanding economist before leaving Fontaine." Yae Shenzi narrowed his perfectly lined fox eyes and looked at Richard who was sitting next to Funina with a smile.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Lord Palace Administrator. I saw it in a book, but it didn't specify who the author was." Richard shook his head and said with regret.

Yae Shinko nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, but the next sentence made Richard a little unbearable.

"But I always feel that this theory gives me a very familiar feeling. It reminds me of an organization active in the seven countries of Teyvat."

"Are you talking about the Fatui?" Furniture immediately thought of this organization.

After hearing what Yae Shinto said, she couldn't help but think of the history of the Fatui's rise. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it fit the theory of Teyvat's economy being divided into seven countries.

Because the Fatui made huge profits and gradually grew stronger by connecting the seven countries' goods, technology, information, services, personnel, funds, management experience, etc.

The most successful case is the Northland Bank, which has branches in seven countries. Compared with banks that only focus on their own country, the Northland Bank has branches in seven countries. Although its scale is not as large as that of local banks, no other bank can compare to the Northland Bank in terms of influence on the continent of Teyvat.

Today, the Northland Bank not only provides transnational financial support to the Fatui, but many multinational chambers of commerce are also loyal customers of the Northland Bank.

"Do you think so too, Ms. Fininna? I think that economist has a strong affinity with the Fatui. Do you think there is a possibility that the economist is a high-ranking member of the Fatui?"

"Mr. Richard, what do you think?" Yae Shenzi looked at the handsome half-elf leisurely, with a playful smile on his lips.

When Linnet heard this, she couldn't help but look at Richard. She felt that her secretary-general should be sweating profusely at this moment.

Richard smiled and responded calmly, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, the book I saw was borrowed from Zhidong."

"Mr. Richard is really well-informed and has made many friends. He even has friends in Zhidong. This is admirable."

Upon hearing this, Fu Nina immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, Richard knows a lot. Thanks to his help, I have avoided many detours in my work."

Not only did I avoid taking a lot of detours, but if it weren't for Richard, I might have been in Melopengrad now, Funina thought with a sigh.

When Yae Shinto heard what Funina said, he couldn't help but look at the Lord God of Water for a second longer. Didn't she hear the hidden meaning in his words?

Or did the other party hear it, but because there were outsiders present, he didn't express it directly?

Thinking of this, Yae Shinto's white and tender hands couldn't help but clench a little secretly. When did he suddenly become an outsider and watch that guy serve the new master?

Yae Kamiko actually had the feeling that she was being made into a clay figure, and even a clay figure was right in front of her.

"If Lord Yae is interested in that article, you can come to my humble abode. Although the book is no longer there, I have left behind a lot of video materials that can be used as a reference." Richard looked directly into the eyes of Yae Shen Zi and said meaningfully.

Yae Shinko's face changed. Video footage?! She suddenly remembered that when the island was first established, Kanjo Bugyo Aoichi gave many novel things to Narukami Taisha.

Among them was the camera from Fontaine. I remember that I was very interested in that camera at that time, and asked Richard to help me take a lot of photos. Then I was coaxed and tricked by the other party into changing a few sets of clothes and taking more photos.

If it was just a photo like the one of Kujo Sara, Yae Kamiko wouldn't feel ashamed. At least she could guarantee that Richard would never show it to others because this guy liked to eat alone.

But the key point is that what was photographed was her true self...

Can you imagine a cute pink-haired little fox wearing a special shrine maiden costume and holding a coin in its mouth?

Haha, this is still the most conservative of all the photos.

Just by thinking about it, Yae Shinko couldn't help but curl up her ten toes. The tightly arched instep of her foot and the gradually clear light blue veins on her white and tender instep all showed that she was not at peace at the moment.

She forced a smile and replied, "Forget it. I'm only interested in people. What's on paper is a thing of the past. Only face-to-face communication can tell me their latest ideas."

Richard heard the implication of Yae Shinko's words, let the past be the past, what she cares about now is what Richard thinks now, as long as he is willing to go back to Inazuma with her obediently, all the past can be forgiven.

Haha, little fox, you still don't understand the situation.

"It's okay. In addition to the video materials, I also have a notebook. The content is very interesting to me. If Lord Yae wants it, I can give it to you." Richard had a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel like spring breeze.

To others, Richard's words were perfectly normal, but to the ears of Yae Shinko, they were not so normal.

She remembered that she would record her inner thoughts in a notebook in the form of a diary. There was a period of time when she was obsessed with novels and books. She even wrote a paragraph herself and asked Richard to help submit it.

Since there was no follow-up and she was too busy with government affairs, she had forgotten about it. Now that it was mentioned, the memory of the death suddenly began to attack her brain, catching her off guard.

The white neck gradually turned slightly red, the full curve of the chest was constantly rising and falling, and the round and plump buttocks twisted involuntarily. There is a very appropriate idiom that can be used to describe the Yae Goddess at this moment - sitting on pins and needles.

After a long silence, Yae Shenzi suddenly smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Secretary General Richard for his kindness."

No matter what, I have to get back the black history first, Yae Shinko thought while gritting his teeth.

Richard waved his hand indifferently, looked at the charming face of Yae Shenzi meaningfully and said, "It's just a small matter. I have a lot of things like notebooks, and each one has a backup. It won't affect anything if I give them to Lord Yae Gongshi. Why not?"

"Really? Hehe..." Yae Shinko couldn't laugh anymore, but because of the situation and the fact that Richard had the upper hand, she couldn't get angry directly.

The miko who was responsible for taking care of Yae Shinko's daily life also noticed this and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

Why does Lord Palace Administrator seem so angry? Lord Richard is willing to give Lord Palace Administrator his precious notebook...

Also, this Lord Richard of Fontaine is very handsome. Although I thought so when I first saw him, why is it that he looks better and better the more I look at him? He is completely different from the officials around him, and I don’t know if he has a girlfriend.

Speaking of which, ever since the Palace Master met with Lord Richard, he felt something was not right, giving people an indescribable feeling. His plan failed, but the Palace Master was not only not frustrated, but even felt happy? Maybe this is what people often say, "Meeting a worthy opponent"?

To be honest, Lord Palace Administrator and Lord Richard are quite a good match... What am I thinking!

Yae Shinko had no idea that the personal priestess who was responsible for taking care of her daily life actually started to promote her and Richard's romance.

Taking anything will only harm you!

"Eh? Can you give me a copy too? I want to see it, too." Furninna also wanted to join in, saying that although she was uneducated and just wanted to judge and have fun every day, she still wanted to see what was written in the notebook.

I can choose not to watch it, but I can't live without it.jpg

"No...it's just a notebook. What's valuable are the thoughts recorded in it. Ms. Finina, if you have any questions, you might as well ask Richard directly. Wouldn't it be better this way?" Yae Shenzi almost shouted out loud, but in the end, his reason controlled his instinct and he swallowed the word "No" back.

"That's right." After hearing this, Funina thought it made a lot of sense, so she let it go. Anyway, she estimated that she would not see it after she came over.

Richard ignored the stabbing look from Yae Shinko and said to Funina, "If Lady Funina wants to read it, I can bring you a few copies later. It will be better to read it with explanations than by yourself."

Funina couldn't help but think of the previous "tutoring class". If the explanation was like that...

The girl shook her head violently, her face flushed, and she waved her hands in front of her chest and stammered, "Forget it, you're quite busy too, don't let my affairs delay your work."

Richard didn't think it would delay his work. In fact, teaching Funina was part of his job. If the leader could fully understand the subordinates' intentions, a lot of resistance would be reduced during the execution process, thus improving administrative efficiency.

"It won't affect my work..." Richard saw that Funina really didn't want to go to the tutoring class, and couldn't help but sigh. Fine, if the child doesn't want to go, then don't go.

But this action meant something else to Yae Shenzi. She felt her head was a little heavy, as if she was wearing something. Her chest was a little stuffy, her face was a little hot, and she began to sweat. She wanted to take a shower.

Red temperature ing...

The priestess Daoshiro Yingmei looked at Fu Nina, then at Richard, and finally her gaze fell on her own chief priest. Although she still maintained the dignity of a priestess on the surface, she had actually compiled a love-hate book of more than 100,000 words in her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Yae Kamiko was the editor-in-chief of Yaedo, she would even want to write it and submit it to Yaedo.

After thinking it over carefully, I decided to give up. Work is more important.

After this incident, Yae Kamiko no longer had the mood to continue drinking tea and chatting with Funina. She now just wanted to go back to the Inazuma Embassy to calm down and sort out her thoughts.

As for being like a little girl and being jealous of Funina, she definitely wouldn't do that, and she didn't really intend to expose Richard's true face.

Although Richard is a hateful guy, he is really capable.

Yae Shenzi is very conflicted now. He wants to expose the truth, but he is also afraid that after the exposure, the other party will find out that Richard is a bad guy, but also discover his excellence, and will not let go, thus adding a competitor for himself.

Not to mention that guy has a lot of evidence against me. God knows how many shameful things I did back then. Looking back now, Richard's guidance was probably indispensable behind all those things.

When she thought of her younger self, who was played around by Richard, Yae Shinko wished she could travel back in time like the protagonist of the light novel and use her advantage of foresight to fight back fiercely.

It makes me happy just thinking about it. After I return to Inazuma, I will ask Yaedo to organize a themed essay contest.

The theme is 'Back to the Past'!

On the other side, Furninna also sat back in her office. She thought she would be greeted with great praise, but Richard didn't think so...

PS: I'm testing the waters here. Please recommend, vote, collect, and read, read, and read. The most important thing is to say it three times. or2

Volume 15: Chapter Why So Skilled?

"In fact, Lady Fininna, your performance today was barely satisfactory (not so good)..." Richard followed up with a series of merciless comments. His sharp words were like a thorn that pierced Fininna's chest.

The balloon named "pride" was deflated at once.

Furninna's straight body suddenly hunched over like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Is it really that bad?" Funina asked unwillingly. She felt that her performance today was pretty good and it was already an exceptional performance.

Just now she had behaved a little restrained in front of Richard. If she were to give herself an evaluation in private, she would say - I think the Eightfold Son of God is just so-so.

"You can't say it's bad..." Richard paused, and a look of anticipation appeared on Furninna's face.

“It’s just not on the same level.”

Fu Nina lost her ability to respond. She seemed unable to accept such a sharp criticism and consoled herself by saying, "Indeed, this Lord Water God and that Eightfold God Son are indeed one level higher than her."

"If you mean the first-class seats at the Oprykle Opera House, then you are right." Richard replied with high emotional intelligence.

But one thing that has to be admitted is that Yae Shinko is even better than Funina in having fun. The difference is like one making others fun, and the other making himself fun.

If one were to describe Funina in an appropriate way, Li Jue would think she was a natural comedian.

"I think I'm pretty good in other aspects too!" Funina argued.

Richard looked at the area a few centimeters above Furninna's abdomen with some regret. He had completely lost on some level.

But the kind-hearted Richard decided to comfort his boss. He said, "But you and Naruto God Baalzebub are indeed on the same level."

Although he didn't know what was happening to Inazuma at the moment, as soon as the lockdown order was issued, Richard realized that there were still experts!

"Really?" Fu Nina was stunned for a moment, then she regained her confidence, "I told you! I'm definitely not worse than others!"

"Then why didn't Lady Funina even read some basic information before the negotiations?" Richard exposed her mercilessly.

"This...that...Richard, would you like some macarons?" Furniture placed the small desserts on her table in front of Richard's table like offering a treasure, trying to bribe him with desserts.

"Forget it this time. Lady Funina, please remember this lesson." Richard stuffed the macaron into his mouth. A sweet and greasy feeling filled his taste buds. He quickly took a sip of bitter black tea to neutralize it.

"Richard, what if this negotiation fails? Or if the result is not ideal and Inazuma takes advantage..." asked Funina. She always had a feeling that Richard must have a backup plan.

"Lady Fu Nina, sometimes even if the negotiation results come out, there will be many twists and turns when implementing them."

"for example?"

"As far as environmental issues are concerned, as far as I know, the emissions from many industrial facilities in Inazuma do not actually comply with Fontaine's environmental regulations."

Funina doesn't understand why Inazuma's emissions have to comply with Fontaine's environmental regulations. Aren't you using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty?

Is Fontaine’s influence already so great?

Although there are rumors outside that the God of Justice is eager to judge all gods, but Finina knows her own business, so how could she have the ability to judge the gods of other countries?

"Lady Finina, you don't need a reason to hate someone, but a fight between countries does require a reason, no matter how ridiculous that reason sounds."

"What's more, our reasons are very just. The ocean does not belong to any one country but to all the creatures in Teyvat. Inazuma's sewage discharge does not meet the regulations, which is harming everyone's interests."

"In this way, we have enough reason to tear up the contract and restart the negotiations until we can reach a result that satisfies all of us." Richards said slowly.

"What if Inazuma doesn't negotiate with you?" asked Funina.

"That's even better. Let's use the media to create hype: "The Inazuma God's displacement of the sea has seriously affected the marine ecology. Experts point out that Inazuma is trying to exterminate marine life", "The harm of the demon's wreckage, three things every Teyvat person should know!", "The head of the Kamisato family, the community magistrate, is suspected to be seriously ill. Experts speculate that it may be diabetes"..."

"We will officially take a stand after public opinion has fermented. Inazuma's willful behavior of damaging the interests of the entire Teyvat continent is immoral and unjust. As a just country, we unilaterally announce the termination of this cooperation and call on all countries to jointly resist this immoral behavior." Richard curled his lips, like a devil playing with people's hearts.

"I think the other five nations will certainly not mind taking advantage of Inazuma by then."

After listening to Richard's plan, Funina's expression was a little complicated. Although the incident did not happen, she felt that if there was a problem in the negotiations, he would really do this, and the incident would most likely develop as he said.

The only thing that made Funina feel a little strange was... why Richard's process seemed a little familiar.
