"Lady Ningguang, please wash up."
"Ah."
After washing up, I applied a warm towel to my eyes, and the light-reflecting sensation felt better.
"Is today Friday?"
"Yes."
"Will Hokuto be back from Inazuma soon?"
"Just these two days."
"Let me know as soon as she arrives. I'm going to take a nap, you should also catch up on some sleep, and remember to wake me up at noon."
"Yes, Lady Ningguang!"
Ningguang packed up her notes and left with them.
This matter is of great importance, and she needs to keep these things close to her body to feel at ease.
In the afternoon, Gan Yu finished all her official duties as usual and left work early.
She returned to her home in Yujingtai, took a shower, changed her clothes, bought fruit, and arrived at the Summer Shop right on time, only to find that the shop was closed.
Gan Yu paused for a moment, then walked over and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"I."
"Miss Gan Yu, please wait a moment."
A moment later, Zhu Zi opened the door and invited her in.
Why is the door closed today?
"We have important guests at the shop, so it's not convenient."
"Dignified guest?"
Gan Yu walked into the store, still a little confused, and then she saw Bai Shi standing there.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a familiar, strange sound coming from the back hall.
Gan Yu's expression turned somewhat strange.
The distinguished guest that Zhu Zi mentioned is... Tianquan Ningguang?
Is Mr. Xia giving her a massage?
"Miss Baishi".
"Secretary Ganyu."
The two nodded and greeted each other.
Gan Yu put the fruit in her hand aside, picked up a rag, and joined everyone in cleaning the store.
Bai Shi probably felt a little awkward standing alone to the side, so after a while he came over to help.
In the back hall.
Ningguang squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
"After a long day, the massage feels even more comfortable."
"right."
"Mr. Xia, are you interested in entering politics?"
"excuse me."
"Sigh... I've read through all the notes you gave me last night."
"how?"
"Mr. Xia is a great talent!"
"I just wrote this down casually, I hope it can be of some help to you."
"Very helpful! Although it was only a few words, every word was precious, like opening a door to a new world for me. My previous understanding of business was too superficial and one-sided..."
"I said those are just theoretical ideas; in the end, you still have to consider them in the context of Liyue's actual situation."
"Yes, you're right."
"Don't use 'you,' just say 'you.' I'm probably younger than you."
“I remember Mr. Xia is 22, which is indeed younger than me.”
"How old is Miss Ningguang this year?"
"..."
"I apologize for my rudeness. I didn't expect Miss Ningguang to care about such things."
"Putting aside all the glamorous facade, I'm just an ordinary girl, so naturally I care about these things too."
"I've heard that Miss Ningguang has many suitors?"
"They...tsk...so annoying."
"Haha."
"Let's not talk about that... Mr. Xia, are you really unwilling to go into politics? I can speak with the other Seven Stars and guarantee you a position like Secretary Gan Yu's..."
"Then I'm afraid I'll be exhausted."
"A less demanding position is fine too! Like a business consultant or something..."
"Don't go, don't go."
"What a pity... If Mr. Xia had helped, the prosperity of Liyue under human rule would have been just around the corner..."
"Miss Ningguang is too kind to me. Please turn over."
"Oh……"
"However, if Miss Ningguang encounters any problems, she can come and talk to me."
"That's fine..."
"By the way, how is the reconstruction of Miss Ningguang's Jade Pavilion progressing?"
"It'll be fixed soon."
"So fast? It's only been less than two months, right?"
"With the help of adventurers with the Geo Eye, and with more workers, the progress is naturally faster."
"That's it."
"Now all that's missing is the Thousand Origin Core."
"Any progress?"
"Yes, Old Zhang from Hanfeng Ironwares is skilled in forging. He was the one who completed the Thousand Wonder Core used by Qunyu Pavilion last time. However, the forging process requires two special ores, Shattered Star Iron Ore and Secret Flower Stone. I have already sent people to search for them near Tianheng Mountain."
"Will the Jade Pavilion ascend to the sky again after the Thousand Wonders Core is found?"
"Yes."
Xia Zhi observed Ning Guang from God's perspective and noticed that her expression was not happy, but rather slightly solemn.
He quietly finished massaging her body and then charged her a "friendship price".
Ningguang felt completely relaxed; all the fatigue from staying up all night had vanished.
Mr. Xia's cooking skills are truly amazing.
As she stepped out of the back hall, her gaze met Gan Yu's.
Both of their expressions were somewhat subtle.
After all, under normal circumstances, this should be Yuehaiting's working hours.
As a result, both the boss and the secretary skipped work to relax, and they even chose the same technician... But there was nothing they could do, since the technician was just that skilled.
Ningguang greeted Gan Yu with a smile: "Secretary Gan Yu."
"Was Miss Ningguang getting a massage just now?"
"Well, I accidentally stayed up late last night and feel exhausted, so I came to Mr. Xia to relax. Bai Shi, you didn't sleep well last night either, how about Mr. Xia gives you a massage too?"
"No, no need! Lady Ningguang!"
"It's alright, this will be covered by official reimbursement, go ahead."
Bai Shi blushed and was pushed into the back hall by Ning Guang.
A moment later, another strange sound came from inside.
Ningguang sat down and waited quietly.
When Bai Shi came out of the back hall feeling refreshed.
