Chapter 415: Surprise or Trouble
Liyue Harbor, in the backyard of the Hall of Rebirth, on the open space in front of the marble table.
Hu Tao looked at the antique that Ye Li brought from Chenyu Valley with a curious expression on his face. He couldn't help turning left and right, and occasionally poking the wooden box on the ground with his fingers, as if he could play with it all day long.
"Master, I risked my life to get this thing back from the bad guys. It's fine if you don't rush to look through it, but can you pay me? My hand is injured."
Ye Li complained, with a bandage on his hand. He took a sip of tea from the cup with his other intact hand, looking speechless. He didn't look injured at all as he looked.
"Hey, Yeli Keqing, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. Remove the bandages on your body first. Don't think I don't know your little thoughts."
Ye Li's expression was calm as he silently removed the bandage, but he still did not lose face in his words.
"Oh my, Master, I was just joking to liven up our relationship after not seeing each other for a while. You wouldn't be so mean as to not pay me, would you?"
Ye Li retreated to advance and broke Hu Tao's plan with one move.
Although the two of them seemed to get along well and joke around on the surface, their secret confrontation had actually already begun. The words they wrote revolved around the settlement of wages for this business trip, and a man named Zhong who was watching on the side was laughing.
After bargaining between the two, Ye Li finally got the labor fee which was 90% of the principal of this business trip, and Hu Tao was also very satisfied and showed an expression of success.
Looking at the two children who thought they had a win-win situation, Zhongli calmly sat at the stone table drinking tea. Looking at the dusty Ye Moumou, he couldn't help but say with a smile on his face:
"Ye Li, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"It wasn't hard. Compared to the final battle with the Fatui, the previous battles were very easy for me and the others. For example..."
Ye Li recounted the nearly one-month-long journey in Chenyu Valley, omitting the content of Qingyun Immortal Mansion.
After all, the contract has been signed, Ye Li will naturally abide by it and will not reveal any information.
After three hours of talking, Hu Tao looked at Ye Li with a suspicious expression, but did not ask any more questions. He just changed the subject and said:
"By the way, Yeli Guest, someone from the Northland Bank came to see you a few days ago and said that their boss, the young master who negotiated the coffin business with us before, has put in a new order and wants to rush the coffins we have already made. They will come back to pick them up in two days. Do you have time?"
"I have to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion in the afternoon. If I have time in the evening, you can first tell them how many coffins they want. Once the materials are gathered, you can send someone to my workshop to pick them up tomorrow night."
"Ye Li Ke Qing is straightforward, much better than that guy who drinks tea and listens to opera all day long, and I pay for antiques with my own money."
Ye Li glanced at the calm old man next to him, and felt in his heart that Hu Tao was very brave. However, if she was not brave, she would not be Hu Tao.
……
Qun Yu Pavilion, Seven Star Conference Hall.
Ningguang looked at the young man in front of her who was smiling but not really smiling, and said in a tough tone without disguising:
"I'm sure you've heard that your colleague has caused a lot of trouble for the diplomacy between Liyue and Zhidong."
"Ahahaha, Miss Ningguang, this misunderstanding is our fault. We will compensate you. And can you please send those smuggled prisoners back to us for disposal? I can also give an explanation to the empress."
"Explain? Then can your queen explain to our Lord Emperor that you broke into the immortal secret realm and stole the property of the Liyue immortals. The immortals above have been paying attention to this matter."
"Ms. Ningguang, on behalf of Zhidong, I sincerely apologize to you for the matter regarding the Liyue Immortal. If you really need anything, please tell me directly. Beating around the bush is not good for both of us."
The young master was also helpless. Four months ago, he had finally obtained the Unrestricted Certificate, but less than a month after returning to Zhidong, he was sent back to Liyue by the Queen, saying that he was to help someone else.
But three months passed and the person didn't show up, and a huge blame was put on his head. Where could he seek justice? He could only deal with the matter according to the arrangement given to him by the Queen half a day ago.
"It seems that Mr. Young Master is a reasonable person. If you want those prisoners, the conditions are simple: transfer 20% of the Northland Bank's income to Liyue Bank.
Secondly, in future cooperation between us and Zhidong, our suggestions must be considered first, and they must not exceed the bottom line of our opinions. Before Zhidong people come, they must be checked according to Liyue's safety regulations, and they cannot be rejected for multiple reasons. "
Ningguang's rules of naming dishes made Young Master feel overwhelmed right from the start, but he couldn't complain, so he could only negotiate peace by choosing the rules that were beneficial to Zhidong.
Three full hours of talking were wasted. Young Master could guarantee that today was the longest time he had ever used his brain cells, and his brain was working the fastest, almost burning out his CPU.
After coming down from the Jade Pavilion, Tartaglia stretched out his fingers and rubbed his temples to relieve the nerves from overworked brain. He couldn't help but look up at the sky. A hint of despair appeared in his eyes, which originally had no brilliance. It can be seen how difficult the negotiation with Ningguang was this time.
But fortunately, the matter was settled.
Not long after Tartaglia left the Jade Pavilion, the instigator of his bad luck and even trouble was warmly welcomed by Ningguang. At the same time, Keqing, who had been hiding in the dark and observing Tartaglia's actions until the other party left, also came out.
"How is the situation over there in winter going?"
"It's much better than expected. The young master is quite easy to talk to. A lot of supplies will be delivered in the next few days. The part of the supplies you want will also be delivered to the warehouse of Wangsheng Hall."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ningguang."
"Mr. Ye Li, you are too polite. Looking at the whole incident, you are a great contributor."
Ye Li didn't pay much attention to Ning Guang's polite words. He just looked at Ke Qing who was coming with great force and asked doubtfully:
"Ms. Keqing, is there something wrong? You look so serious."
"Ahem! Ye Li, have you finished the thing that my friend asked me to get last time?"
"Oh... Regarding the Emperor's figurine, the model and decorations are already ready. You can go directly to the Wangsheng Hall to pick it up in the evening. I have already reported it to the Lord Walnut Hall Master."
"That's good. My friend urged me to do this a few days ago. Fortunately, I have good eloquence and managed to delay it until today."
Listening to Keqing's topic about the friend who made up a story out of thin air, Ye Li said that as long as she was happy, that was enough. At the same time, the two began to talk about the land planning and planting arrangements of Guiliyuan.
Ningguang did not interrupt the communication between Ye Li and Keqing. Regarding the matter of Guiliyuan, she was only responsible for the funding, and the rest was left to the two of them.
Time flies, and two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.
At night, in Luhua Pond, on the prototype platform filled with water, a dark hole suddenly appeared silently, without any energy fluctuations, as if it did not exist, but it really appeared here.
Before the dark cave entrance slowly disappeared, a white shadow leaped out from the bushes and landed lightly beside the flowing stream.
Above the stream reflected by the moonlight, the sound of bells suddenly rang out, and smooth white legs gently stepped on the rippling lake water. Although the face of the visitor could not be seen clearly under the rippling water, the iconic long sleeves announced the arrival of another time traveler.
On the other side, Ye Li frowned as he felt the fluctuation of time and space slightly, but now he was at a critical moment, and the monthly jade pendant world was waving to him again, and he couldn't stop.
