"Okay, here you go."

"Well……"

Then there is no more then.

To be precise, Shen He later took out a peach-flavored candy and put it in his mouth, and the two of them ate it together.

It tastes so sweet, soft, and smooth; it's really tempting to eat this so early in the morning.

Chapter 209 My Relationship with Miss Ningguang is Pure and Innocent

In the morning, Bai Zhu came to the shop again.

His face looked a little haggard, and he had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had stayed up late last night, but he seemed very energetic, and his eyes were very bright.

"Doctor Bai Shu, have you found anything?"

"Yes! I saw a completely different world through it!"

That is the microscopic world.

"Microscopic? That's a fitting word! It's the microscopic world. I never imagined that there could be so many living organisms in a tiny drop of water."

"Did Doctor Bai only observe the water?"

"No, I also observed many other things, hair, leaves, boiled water... I found that these tiny organisms only exist in raw water, and are very rare in boiled water. This is probably why raw water can make people sick."

"Ah."

"By this reasoning, many other illnesses may also have the same cause, such as wound inflammation, which may be caused by these tiny organisms invading the wound..."

"Ah."

"Mr. Xia should have already used it to research these things, right?"

"I've only figured out a little bit of it. After all, these things are too different from traditional medical theories. If Dr. Bai hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I'm sure he would find it hard to believe, right?"

"really."

“I think this is a new path in medicine, but I can’t see anything now, so it’s difficult to continue my research. If Dr. Baishu is interested, you might as well explore this path further.”

"I will."

"Research is important, but you also need to take care of your health."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xia."

Bai Shu thanked him solemnly and took his leave.

In the afternoon, Xingqiu came to the store.

He came to deliver fresh reeds on one hand, and to inform Xia Zhi about the current sales situation of mahjong tiles on the other.

"Currently, it's mainly in the promotion stage. As a new card game, Mahjong has simple rules and is easy to learn, and it has been accepted and loved by more and more people. Feiyun Teahouse alone is now fully booked every day..."

Xia Zhi listened quietly to Xing Qiu's words.

He now possesses the skill [Business Mastery] that he received from Ningguang, and as a business guru, he has a different understanding of what Xingqiu said.

Does the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce have any further promotional plans?

"Of course, we'll also be involved in various industries within the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce..."

Xia Zhi shook his head after listening.

"No, I'm referring to a large-scale promotional plan."

"A large-scale promotional plan?"

"Just like the cooking competition officially held by Liyue before, it was large in scale and had a wide reputation."

"Mr. Xia means..."

"I think we can also hold a tournament like this, a chess king competition."

“Oh?... Mr. Xia’s idea is brilliant, but holding such a competition requires permission from the Liyue authorities, and the application process is quite complicated…”

"Young Master Xingqiu need not worry about this matter."

"Mr. Xia, do you have a solution?"

"I have some connection with Lady Tianquanxing, I'll ask her about it later."

"Lord Ningguang? The rumors in the marketplace were indeed true..."

Xingqiu's gaze towards Xia Zhi suddenly turned strange.

The fact that Ningguang comes to the Summer Shop every afternoon to drink Rainbow Juice has already spread to many people in Liyue, and there are even many outrageous versions of the story.

There were rumors that a rich woman had taken a liking to him, that he had been drugged, and that his background was terrifying...

Xia Zhi said earnestly, "Young Master Xingqiu, please don't overthink it. My relationship with Lord Tianquanxing is purely platonic."

Xingqiu nodded: "I believe Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhi waved his hand helplessly: "If you don't believe me, fine. I'll go ask about the Chess King Tournament first, and I'll let you know when I have news."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xia."

"We are partners, it's only right."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xingqiu took his leave.

Later that evening, Ningguang arrived with her personal secretary.

Xia Zhi invited her to sit in the quiet back room, handed over the task of making the juice to Diona, and went to chat with the rich woman about business matters.

Ningguang, with a straw in her mouth, listened to Xia Zhi's words with a hint of interest in her eyes: "The Chess King Tournament?"

"Hmm, I heard from Young Master Xingqiu that the application process is quite complicated, I wonder..."

"Oh, what's the trouble with such a small matter? I'll tell my people to have the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce submit an application directly to the General Affairs Department."

"Thank you, Miss Ningguang."

"Mr. Xia is just saying it; such thanks don't seem very sincere."

"What kind of sincerity does Miss Ningguang desire?"

Ningguang looked at him with a smile.

"I've heard that Mr. Xia's massage skills are quite excellent."

"I know a little."

"Mr. Xia is being too modest. Secretary Gan Yu used to work a lot of overtime and her health was always poor. Since she met Mr. Xia, she works even more overtime than before, but she is in great spirits every day. I was very surprised by this. Later I found out that Miss Gan Yu comes to Mr. Xia's shop for a massage once a week."

"That's true. Miss Gan Yu is tired from work, so I'm helping her relax."

"Does massage really have such miraculous effects?"

"It does have an effect, but it varies from person to person."

"Can I try?"

"Miss Ningguang would like to try?"

"Yes, I've been very busy lately, and perhaps from overthinking, I feel very tired..."

"In that case, I'll give Miss Ningguang a massage."

"I will pay according to the rules."

"Money doesn't matter. I just want to express my sincere gratitude to Miss Ningguang."

Ningguang couldn't help but laugh.

"Shall we start now?"

"No rush, the store is about to close soon, let's start after they close."

"Why?"

"Because massage can cause some pain or pleasure, Ms. Ningguang might not be able to control herself and make some strange noises. If the guests outside hear these noises, it will damage her reputation."

"...Mr. Xia, you're very kind."

"Miss Ningguang, please rest assured, this is a proper massage. I will only press some normal body parts, such as the arms and back, and I will not do anything inappropriate."

"I certainly trust Mr. Xia."

Ningguang didn't have any concerns in this regard, after all, Xia Zhi was someone who could chat and laugh with several immortals.

Ningguang continued drinking her juice and eating snacks.

Xia Zhi chatted with her.

The two talked about the business development of Liyue. Xia Zhi, with his [Business Expertise] skill, got along very well with Ningguang.

"I never expected Mr. Xia to be so knowledgeable about business..."
