Chapter 458: Jade Pavilion 2 (Firepower Enhanced)
Liyue Harbor, in a floating pavilion not far above Tianheng Mountain.
Ye Li looked at Ning Guang, who was smiling at He Xu and acting like a good lady, with an awkward expression, and said with a slightly helpless tone:
"Ms. Ningguang, are you sure you want to use this design? This is a bigger project than the previous one."
“Mr. Ye Li, you don’t need to worry about this. I have been recruiting staff in the past few months. As for other important materials, such as floating stones, I will ask the Adventurer’s Association to search for them all over the continent.
As for your job, sir, it is to be responsible for the integrity of the design drawings and minor modifications. You will still be the main leader of the subsequent major projects. At that time, various safety inspections and material quality will require your sharp eyes to check. "
"But Miss Ningguang, shouldn't these be checked as soon as they are delivered? Why do you want me to check them again when we start working?"
"I just believe in Mr. Ye Li's superb craftsmanship and vision. A few more checks will provide more assurance, especially for a building like this that hides weapons of mass destruction."
Faced with Ningguang's solemn words, Ye Li had no choice but to agree. Then he turned to look at the Seven Stars and Beidou who came in from the door. He knew in his heart that this was a plan unanimously decided by the Liyue top leaders.
"It looks like the deal has been made. I'd say Ningguang is pretty fast."
"In terms of efficiency, she's the second fastest among us."
"Who's the fastest?"
"Needless to ask? It must be Miss Keqing."
Beidou answered Ye Li’s question directly. It would be embarrassing if he didn’t give an answer that everyone knew.
"Alright, stop teasing Keqing. I have already reached a consensus with Mr. Ye Li about what happened just now. I will still need your assistance in the subsequent activities."
"I understand. Leave the overseas material procurement to me. As for the quality and safety inspection, I will check it thoroughly at the beginning. I will definitely not let Brother Ye Li be busy for a while."
"As for the supervision of the project, leave it to me. I will also take safety into consideration to ensure that no worker is harmed during the process."
"Since you all said so, I will have to make more changes to the drawings. The purchase data report will be sent to Yue Haiting at that time. Just remember to send someone to get it."
Seeing that everyone had a clear division of labor, Ye Li would not have much objection. He would just have to work harder during the final stage of the project. He would not let go of the opportunities before him to slack off.
"By the way, the Immortal Invitation Ceremony will be held in two weeks. I wonder how you, Ningguang, are preparing for it. After all, the last time there was so much noise that many people had to rush into the clinic because of the crowds."
"Ahaha, the commotion was indeed quite loud at that time, but Bai Shu and the others arrived just in time, so there was no stampede resulting in any casualties."
"The Emperor should have seen that scene when he came. Maybe he will restrain himself this year."
Ningguang made a reasonable guess and everyone nodded. Ye Li just smiled and said nothing. He knew better than anyone that this time would be more chaotic than last time.
However, he did not say what he meant. This was a test given to them by the old man of this world, and his participation would be more or less perfunctory, unless something unforeseen happened on the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.
For example, the Traveler is not present, Tartaglia is still in the Northland Bank, or the Emperor fell into the ravine when he faked his death. These are all things Ye Li needs to consider.
After all, since a butterfly like me has come here, it would be reasonable not to do anything big.
Everyone was discussing the arrangements for the next ceremony of inviting the immortals, and Ye Li also joined in. As for why he was asked to join the conversation this time, it was because he, Ye, had done some big things in the past year.
Normally they keep a low profile and do nothing, but every time they go out, it's either because of something happening in the neighboring country or they're exporting commercial materials. Everything they do is related to the development of each country. It would be strange if the Seven Stars of Liyue didn't pay attention to this.
Take the recent dragon disaster for example. Ye Li was one of the heroes who participated in it. The Knights of Favonius in Mond even sent a congratulatory letter, praising the other party for their help and sending a large number of gifts, which further deepened the cooperation between the two countries.
Every time Ye Li does something, it can boost Liyue’s economy. It can be said that his shadow can be seen in every major event in the country this year, but it is little known.
Those who know this confidential information are basically our own people, especially Hu Tao and Zhongli who know most of the process and are very clear about it.
Ningguang and the others only knew part of the information, but it was enough to include the intelligence that Ye Li had gathered along the way.
Therefore, Ye Li's deeds in the past year were enough to gain the trust of everyone in the Seven Stars. No matter whether it was this year's Sea Lantern Festival or the opportunity to invite the immortals to the ceremony, they did not hide anything from him and told him everything in detail.
Ye Li also knew how hard it was to gain this trust. Even though he was just stopping and walking outside, killing a few monsters, and carrying out a few cooperative projects, Ye Li would not let this trust down.
……
At night, in the courtyard of the Hall of Rebirth, Ye Li looked at Keqing in front of him with a slightly red face, hesitantly reaching out to take something. If the gossipy Wendy saw this, he would definitely make trouble and cause a lot of fun.
"Ms. Keqing, I just got a life-size clay figurine of the Emperor for my friend. Why are you so excited?"
"Ahaha, how should I put it? My friend likes the Emperor too much. Every time she shows off in front of me, I feel a little helpless. But every time I see her happy, I feel satisfied."
"Then you really do care about your friend."
Ye Li had a playful smile on his face, but Keqing didn't notice anything wrong.
This scene had been seen clearly by the two Rock Kings outside the door. They couldn't help but shudder as they watched Keqing walk out of the gate of the Hall of Rebirth and run into a little-known alley, hugging her clay doll and grinning foolishly.
It is not necessarily well known to everyone that in Liyue, apart from the Emperor's fans, there are also twisted Emperor fans. Keqing, who appears to be against the Emperor but is actually a loyal Emperor fan, is a common character in the whole of Liyue.
"I'm back, Dad, Mr. Zhongli. I heard from the mothers that you guys were out. I wonder if you're going to put the bill on me again."
Facing Ye's suspicious gaze, Zhongli raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:
"The bill has been sent to the Northland Bank. I'm sure the young master won't refuse it. After all, he is a very generous man."
"Indeed, given your friendship, you won't refuse."
Ye Li nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze to his father and said:
"Dad, the Immortal Ceremony will be held in two weeks. Are you interested in trying the thrill of summoning the Emperor? I tried it last year and it was very exciting."
Ye Li's words stunned Hu Tao, who had just come out of the house. Then, he looked at Zhong Li with bright eyes and echoed what Ye Li said:
"Yes, yes, yes. Why don't you give it a try, Mr. Zhongli? This is the first time I've seen two identical people summoning the Emperor. It will definitely interest the Emperor."
