I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 345

These three guests were all wealthy people, so they weren't surprised by the 20 million yuan on the table.

"This return is normal."

"Thanks to Miss Yanfei, I managed to secure the largest share of the profits."

"It wasn't entirely my doing. The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce itself wanted to be on good terms with Mr. Xia, so when I went to them to sign the contract, they readily made concessions."

“I see… As you can see, this amount of money is neither a lot nor a little. I don’t have any hobbies of spending money, so I opened this small shop, and it was just expanded recently. I don’t plan to expand it any further for the time being, so there’s no use for keeping it. After thinking about it, I decided to use it to do something practical.”

"The facts?"

"I plan to open a school, a university where children can study for free."

"!"

Upon hearing this, the three people paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.

Yan Fei nodded and smiled, "That's a good thing."

A hint of agreement appeared in Bai Shu's eyes: "Being able to help those in need is indeed a good thing."

Zhongli nodded slightly: "What do you need us to do? Is it a matter of money?"

As expected of the God of Wealth, he immediately seemed ready to shower us with money the moment he opened his mouth.

"No, there is no problem with the money. I had a preliminary discussion with Tianquan Ningguang yesterday afternoon, and Miss Ningguang also expressed her support. She also said that she would make up the difference in the shortfall. The reason I came to the three of you is to ask you to compile a textbook."

"Textbooks?"

"Simply put, it means making science books that children can understand and enjoy reading."

"Oh?"

"Dr. Baishu, you have been practicing medicine for many years, so you must know that many of the diseases that patients get are actually preventable, such as the problem of raw water that you mentioned to me last time."

"Yes, I now go to villages outside the city to provide free medical consultations and I also tell people not to drink untreated water, but many people still don't take it seriously and think that they have been drinking it for so many years without any problems."

"This kind of thinking among adults and the elderly cannot be changed overnight unless they suffer losses. But children are different. They are at the age of thirsting for knowledge. If we tell them the right knowledge, they will remember it for a lifetime and will also teach it to their next generation. In time, perhaps everyone in Liyue can be healed."

Bai Shu was moved: "Mr. Xia means..."

"As you wish, Dr. Baishu, I hope you can compile a textbook on common medical knowledge, which will cover the prevention and treatment of some common diseases and injuries, as well as the identification of some common herbs and poisons. It would be best if it could be accompanied by some illustrations."

"I understand, I will get this done as soon as possible."

"This is troublesome. As for the reward..."

"Mr. Xia, please don't mention these things. It is my honor to be involved in this matter."

“Very well… Miss Yanfei, I hope you can compile a textbook on basic legal knowledge so that children can have a basic understanding of Liyue’s legal system.”

"Don't worry! Mr. Xia, don't mention any reward. Just treat me to Mapo Tofu next time."

“Hmm. Mr. Zhongli, you know Liyue’s history very well. I would like to ask you to compile a Liyue history textbook so that children can learn about Liyue’s past.”

"it is good."

"This is why I have invited the three of you here today."

"Mr. Xia, please rest assured."

Yan Fei asked with some curiosity, "By the way, I wonder where this school will be built in the future?"

"This hasn't been decided yet. I asked Miss Ningguang to invite Yuhengxing to dinner at the shop tonight so I can have a good talk with her and ask for her opinion."

"Keqing, she seems to be quite busy."

"is it?"

"Yes, she often travels outside. She is a very strict and conscientious person. She will not rest until she finishes her work. Even if it is something that takes half a month to solve, she will try her best to shorten the cycle and finish it in one or two days. As long as she thinks something is valuable, she will definitely handle it personally."

"So she has such a decisive and efficient personality... No wonder she's a God's Eye with lightning attributes..."

"On one occasion, in order to draft a plan to improve workers' treatment, she went to the site herself and experienced the life of a worker for two whole months. I find it hard to believe that someone as high-ranking and powerful as her had ever pulled a cart in the Clay Abyss, helped workers at the South Wharf compact soil, or worked as a waitress in a small restaurant. In her spare time, she even casually collected evidence and reported a heartless boss who exploited workers. Yes, I helped her with that lawsuit."

"It's really hard to imagine."

"She even publicly questioned the Geo Archon during a Celestial Summoning Ceremony, saying something like, 'Your Majesty has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years?'"

"Oh?"

Was that twin-tailed girl really this brave? Could it be that Morax suddenly wanted to retire because of what Keqing said?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but glance at Zhong Li.

Xia Ci also secretly glanced at Zhong Li.

Zhongli remained expressionless, as if he were listening to someone else's story.

That's really stable.

"So, Mr. Xia, Ke Qing is probably not as easy to deal with as you think."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Miss Yanfei."

Xia Zhi nodded. He wasn't too worried about Ke Qing. After all, people with such a serious personality are very reliable and keep their promises. Since she said she could contact her if she needed anything, she would definitely do her best to help.

If all else fails, he'll still have to treat her to a meal.

There shouldn't be anything in this world that he can't solve with a meal. If there is, then he'll treat her to another meal.

The group continued chatting for a while longer, mostly offering suggestions about the school.

Xia Zhi reached out and nudged her cousin next to her, urging her to take it seriously.

When they had finished chatting, the three said goodbye and prepared to go back. Everyone was very busy and had to find time to write teaching materials. Xia Zhi felt that they were working too hard and asked the three of them to wait a moment.

"Zhu Zi, go and get three boxes of tea, the kind called 'Silver Thread Dew'."

"Oh well!"

A moment later, Zhu Zi brought out three small boxes from the house.

Xia Zhi presented them to the three guests: "This tea is called 'Silver Thread Dew,' and it has a refreshing effect. But please note that you can only brew one stick at a time, otherwise you will not be able to sleep for several days and nights."

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

"You're welcome."

Everyone is busy during the day and usually only has free time in the evening. Drinking a cup of tea like this will give us a lot of energy when writing textbooks and we should be able to avoid delaying the manuscript.

Xia Zhi's cousin suddenly reached out and tugged at his clothes.

Xia Zhi immediately understood and quickly said, "Um, Mr. Zhongli, you are very knowledgeable, so you must be very knowledgeable about various architectural styles, right?"

Zhongli nodded slightly: "I know a little bit."

"That's good. Please do us the honor of joining us for a casual meal at the shop tonight. We don't know much about these things, so we'll have to trouble you to discuss them with Lord Yuhengxing."

"..."

Zhongli looked at the sincere expression on Xia Zhi's face and remained silent for a moment.

He suspected that Xia Zhi wanted to see him make a fool of himself, after all, that Yuheng Star was someone who dared to question him in public.

Xia Zhi's reasons were quite valid, but his cousin standing next to him was a goddess of wisdom; she knew just as much about these kinds of things as he did.

Just like the large bathhouse that was newly built behind the small shop a few days ago in the summer, the design drawings she drew were absolutely ingenious.

Well, building the school is indeed beneficial to Liyue.

Anyway, he had dealt with Keqing many times as a special consultant when the Qunyu Pavilion was being rebuilt, so he didn't feel awkward.

What's more, you can also get an extra meal at the restaurant.

Not a loss.

Thinking of this, Zhongli nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll come over later."

"Please take care, gentlemen."

"goodbye!"

After the three guests had gone far away, Xia Zhi turned around and found his cousin with a serious expression on her face.

"Laugh if you want."

"Haha... I didn't expect Liyue to have such an interesting person. I'll have to observe her carefully tonight..."

"Don't be silly."

"Don't worry, our school still needs her help. Speaking of which, cousin, you understand me so well. I just subtly tugged at your clothes, and you knew what I was thinking."

"It's natural."

Chapter 306 I Have a Friend (4K)

In the afternoon, at Yuehai Pavilion.

Ningguang walked into Yuhengxing's office, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door, making a crisp sound.

Keqing raised her head from the desk piled with drawings and looked towards the door.

"Ningguang."
