Explorer of Teyvat

"The drawings and achievements Abatuyi left behind are enough to be worth the investment in the past two years."

Wang Daoyi looked at Ning Guang, the meaning in his eyes was very clear - don't be dissatisfied.

Ning Guang was not afraid of Wang Daoyi's eyes at all: "But for a businessman, turning a big profit into a small profit is not much different from losing money."

A business that originally could earn 100 million ended up making only 10 million. Although it was still a profit, to the businessman, it was a loss of 90 million.

Wang Daoyi curled his lips: "Then let's settle the matter together."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the banquet hall, looking a little unhappy.

Seeing this, the two secretaries beside Ningguang were a little worried, but Ningguang smiled.

Compared to the two secretaries, Ning Guang was naturally more familiar with Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi once told them his identity.

This Lord of Red Sand was once a member of the emperor's family.

Ning Guang was not worried at all that Wang Dao would unleash his anger on her.

Moreover, as long as the benefits are obtained, there is no harm in bearing a little anger.

Ningguang knew very well in her heart that as long as she was doing Liyue's good, then Wang Daoyi would not be her enemy, not only Wang Daoyi, but also those immortals.

Liyue's interests are everyone's interests.

It is precisely by adhering to this point of view that Ningguang can persevere in the anger of the immortals and even convince them.

In the banquet hall,

A table of red silk is laid on the large round table.

The most expensive high-quality silk among Liyue's specialties can only be used as table mats here.

As soon as Wang Dao walked to the round table, he sat down directly on the main seat without being polite.

This is a very rude move. If an ordinary Liyue person went to a friend's house for dinner and sat directly at the main seat, he might be scolded for being uneducated.

But the situation is different now. Wang Daoyi was invited as a god.

When he takes the main seat, he is not only reasonable, but also kind.

No god would sit down while eating, no, no.

The food hasn't been served yet,

Ningguang walked to the seat next to Wang Daoyi and sat down, then nodded to Baiwen,

Baiwen immediately went over and came over with tea.

"You have a close friendship with Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Life, and you must also love tea. This is the best tea in Qiaoying Village. It is only produced some time after the Hai Lantern Festival every year. Please taste it."

Ningguang took the teapot from Baiwen and personally showed off his tea skills to Wang Daoyi.

Wang Dao showed admiration, and his original anger disappeared.

He took the tea cup and took a slight sniff, with a hint of enjoyment on his face.

Although Liyue is like spring all year round, the tea production periods are still different.

The tea after the Hai Lantern Festival is the first batch of new tea every year, and it is the best quality batch.

However, new tea branches often focus on quality rather than quantity.

The first batch of new tea every year is only so much.

Most of them were divided up by the wealthy people of Liyue Port.

Of course, no matter how much you cherish it, it is nothing to Ningguang.

Even if she doesn't ask for it, Qiao Yingzhuang will send the tea to Qunyu Pavilion.

Sometimes, tea drinkers can also enhance the status of tea itself.

As Ning Guang, if she went to Shimen to drink a big bowl of tea, the price of that big bowl of tea would rise.

"Good tea, good water."

Wang Daoyi took a sip and let out two praises.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed amazing. Many of the guests who come to my place can speak of good tea, but not many of them can speak of good water." Ning Guang praised.

Wang Dao showed interest, did not answer, and looked at Ning Guang.

"The tea from Qiaoyingzhuang is naturally best matched with the water from Qiaoyingzhuang. This water is also taken from the mountain spring of Qiaoyingzhuang." Ningguang explained.

The royal way is clear.

Although this water is not as good as the water Mandrill got from the depths of Yunlaihai, it is still much better than normal water.

However, Wang Daoyi’s evaluation of water is not professional after all.

Even if I asked him to tell me two, three, or four things, he wouldn't be able to tell clearly.

If it were a certain Water Dragon King, he might be able to talk at length for a whole day.

"Okay, let's drink the tea. Let's talk about the matter first. If we don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well the rest of the meal."

Wang Daoyi's expression became serious, he put down the tea cup, his eyes sank slightly, and he looked at Ning Guang.

Ning Guang waved his hand, the two secretaries bowed slightly, turned and left the banquet hall.

Then he looked at Wang Daoyi again: "A few days ago, Wuwangpo's unusual behavior may have something to do with your Majesty."

She was not polite.

Wang Dao nodded: "It's true that I'm working on something, but with the help of the Immortal, Wuwangpo should be fine."

Wang Daoyi naturally knew what Ningguang meant, it was nothing more than benefits.

But the benefits cannot be given directly, otherwise it will be easy for people to get them without cherishing them.

"The magic power of several immortals is very strong, and Wuwangpo will naturally be fine. However, Wuwangpo is not the only one who is in trouble. There is also a lot of movement over at Qingce Village."

His burgundy eyes turned slightly, and he looked like he was sighing as he slowly recounted the loss of Qing Ce Village.

From the collapse of houses caused by earthquakes to the riots caused by Chi's resurrection,

She even mentioned the slime jumping into the residential area as a loss.

Wang Daoyi listened to her words,

From the expressionless expression at the beginning, to the slight nod, and to the widened eyes at the end, the change in his expression was enough to show that Wang Daoyi was shocked by the condensed light.

Ning Guang would exaggerate some of the losses in order to benefit from himself. This was something Wang Dao had thought of early on.

But being able to talk about slimes entering the village was something Wang Daoyi never expected.

After all, shouldn't it be the Qianyan Army's business if a slime enters the village?

Moreover, Wang Daoyi is not unaware of the strategy of symbiosis between Qing Ce Zhuang and slime.

Most of the slimes in Qingce Village were domesticated and used to fertilize the fields.

Is there any danger to this little cutie entering the village?

"Stop, stop, stop." Wang Daoyi quickly interrupted Ningguang's loss report, "If it's just these things, I can compensate Qing Ce Zhuang Yi Mo La."

Being interrupted by Wang Daoyi, Ningguang was not angry, but smiled.

Anyway, whoever loses his composure first will be at a disadvantage.

Of course, the premise is that Ningguang knows that Wang Daoyi will not fall out.

"Ye Lan has already brought people to help Qingce Village. As for the compensation that Your Majesty is willing to give, I hope it can be exchanged for something else."

Ningguang looked at Wang Daoyi with a smile.

After such a big deal, if Wang Daoyi really only asked Wang Daoyi to compensate Moura a little, Ningguang himself would call himself stupid.

Anyone with any brains should know that for a god, Mora is the least valuable.

The knowledge of the gods, the power of the gods, the treasures of the gods.

Aren't these more valuable than the ones from Mora?

"What do you want?" Wang Daoyi looked at Ning Guang with a little appreciation in his eyes, "You can't get anything good from me in exchange for this little bargaining chip."

Regarding the losses of Qingce Village, although Wang Daoyi himself admitted that he should be responsible.

But this responsibility probably won't bring anything particularly good out of Wang Daoyi.

Although Ningguang cited a lot of losses, it was actually not much when converted into molas. It was probably not enough to spend on Wang Daoyi's wedding.

"I would like to ask Abatui to return to Liyue." Ningguang said softly.

"Please Abatuyi?" Wang Daoyi was stunned for a moment, and then an idea flashed in his mind, "Have you encountered a bottleneck in your mechanical research?"

He still remembered that when he returned to Liyue this time, his first stop was Abatui's former research laboratory.

That research laboratory is now controlled by a large number of secret library personnel, who are obviously continuing Abatui's research.

As for the people in the secret library, Wang Daoyi has also come into contact with them. In terms of elements, earth veins, alchemy, and even some life skills, the people in the secret library are definitely not weaker than the elite scholars of the Teaching Academy.

But mechanical research is exactly the weak point of the secret library.

Now that Ningguang wants Abatuyi to come back, it is obvious that the secret library has encountered difficulties in continuing the project of Abatuyi's research.

"Yes, the research left by Abatuyi and the mechanical knowledge mastered by the secret library have been dated. It is difficult for the secret library to continue research without external force."

Ning Guang didn't hide anything and admitted it carelessly.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, this situation was possible.

This is simply a technical barrier. If you understand it, you understand it. If you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it.

Abatuyi's mechanical knowledge is among the strongest even in today's Order Academy, and only a few people such as a certain 'senior' can compare with him.

Moreover, Abatuyi also has the ‘intelligent machine’ Kakata beside him. His technical ability has surpassed that of most people who study machinery.

Regarding Ning Guang's request, Wang Daoyi thought for a moment and tapped his fingertips on the table.

Letting Abatui come back for a while is just a matter of words to Wang Daoyi.

However, at this time, Abatui was probably cooperating with Nikolaid to study [Athos Substance].

Abatuyi is very interested in this high-energy substance as the energy source for most ruins machinery.

Seeing Wang Daoyi's slightly thoughtful look, Ning Guang did not disturb him, and the banquet hall gradually became quiet.

a long time,

Wang Daoyi slowly raised his head and looked at Ningguang: "There is no problem in letting Abatui come back, but he will not stay for too long."

Abatuyi is still serving Wang Daoyi. There is no problem in letting him come over to teach the people in the secret library for a few days, but if it takes a long time, it will inevitably affect Abatuyi's own research.

Moreover, the research on [Athos Substance] is also a very important matter for the Red Sand Tribe Alliance.

"That's enough." Ning Guang had a smile in his eyes.

The people in the secret library just lacked a breakthrough. With this breakthrough, Ningguang believed that they could solve the next problems by themselves.

"Then it's settled. I will send a message to someone to send Abatui to Liyue."

Wang Daoyi said softly.

It’s just a small matter. Naturally, Wang Daoyi doesn’t need to open the door and lead people by himself.

Just let Abatuyi come over by himself.

Just in time to get him out of the lab and move around a bit more.

Ningguang nodded, then waved his hand gently, and Baiwen, who had originally exited, walked in immediately.

"Lord Ningguang."

"Baiwen, let's have a banquet."

"yes."

The capable secretary immediately went to arrange the banquet.

Not long after, exquisite dishes were served one after another.

Compared with the usual dishes at Wanmintang that are heavy in oil, spicy and fragrant, the dishes in Qunyuge are obviously very different.

Whether it’s the presentation of the plate or the carving of the side dishes,

The dishes here are all exquisite.

"Although the taste may not be as good as Xiangling's, the chef's efforts are not less. Your Majesty, please give it a try."

Ningguang unsealed the bowls and chopsticks, placed them in front of Wang Daoyi, and then pointed at the delicacies that were being served, indicating to taste them.

"No wonder Beidou doesn't want to eat here."

Wang Daoyi teased, then picked up a piece of vegetable leaf with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

It tastes fresh and juicy, not like vegetable leaf juice at all, but like soup stock that has been simmered for several hours.

Being able to dissolve the stock into the vegetable leaves truly proves the skill of the chef.

"Beidou is out all year round, fighting against wind, waves and sea beasts, so he naturally likes food heavy in oil."

Ningguang knew very well that Beidou didn't like the food he was eating here.

It's nothing more than different daily activities, and the demand for food is also different.

When Ningguang was little, she also liked food heavy in fat during those difficult days because she could feel full.

Nowadays, I like light and delicate food. This is because I rarely have physical work and cannot go out often, so I have changed my taste.

Of course, it also depends on personal taste.

Tian Quan, a noble of the Seven Stars, likes refinement, wealth, and luxury. No one can say that Ning Guang is wrong about this.

Anyway, she spent her own money, not Liyue's taxes.

While tasting the exquisite dishes at the banquet, Wang Daoyi suddenly had an idea.

This kind of exquisite and delicious dishes is the best dish for wedding banquets.

As long as a few big dishes are added to the dishes on this table, it will be the best banquet table.

Moreover, is there any place in Liyue that is more prestigious than Qunyu Pavilion?

With a slight movement in his expression, Wang Daoyi put down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Guang again: "I suddenly thought of something."

Ningguang also put down his chopsticks: "Please tell me."

The purpose of inviting Wang Daoyi has been achieved, and Ningguang feels much more calm.

"You must also know about Xiangling and I," Wang Daoyi said softly.

Even the neighbors in Chihuyan knew about his affair with Xiangling, and Qixing naturally didn't know about it either.

Of course, Qixing knows Wang Daoyi’s identity better than his neighbors.

Ningguang's eyes flashed slightly: "This is natural, what? Do you need me to give you a gift?"

"Ha, of course the courtesy is indispensable, but there is one more thing I need your help with." Wang Daoyi chuckled, and then continued, "I want to place the wedding banquet in the Qunyu Pavilion."

"Place the wedding banquet in the Qunyu Pavilion?" Ningguang was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

Wang Daoyi is trying to earn face for Xiang Ling.

Although Xiang Ling and Master Mao didn't seem to care much about Wang Daoyi's efforts.

But as long as a girl is in a normal relationship, she will look forward to a grand wedding.

And in Liyue, the place that best embodies grandeur is her Jade Pavilion.

"This... there is a precedent for holding banquets in Qunyu Pavilion, but this is not cheap."

There was a glint in Ning Guang's eyes, she had always been a pragmatist.

If Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling's wedding is held in Qunyu Pavilion and they can get some benefits in exchange, then why not.

During the Bashi Rebellion, Qunyu Pavilion was rebuilt and a banquet was held.

At that time, many Liyue celebrities were also invited to the banquet.

Ningguang is very easy to do things that have precedent.

"Whatever you want, you can just say it."

Compared with the previous compensation, Wang Daoyi was much happier this time.

Wang Daoyi thought it was completely worth paying a small price to give Xiang Ling a grand wedding.

Ning Guang pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head slightly: "I don't seem to need anything. Liyue is stable now. Why don't you just consider it a request and I'll mention it to you later when I think of it."

"Yes, as long as the conditions are not too extreme, I can satisfy you."

Wang Dao nodded.

He didn't say any special restrictions. Ningguang is a smart person and she won't make any excessive demands.

Ning Guang nodded and picked up the chopsticks again. The matter was confirmed. She didn't even ask Wang Daoyi to make a contract.

Obviously, Wang Daoyi believed that Ningguang would not make excessive demands, and Ningguang also believed that Wang Daoyi would not break the contract.

This feeling of mutual trust will gradually grow into a deeper friendship.

after dinner,

"As for the wedding banquet, just ask Master Mao to contact Baiwen, and Baiwen will arrange it."

Ning Guang said to Wang Daoyi.

Behind Ningguang, Baiwen smiled at Wang Daoyi.

Most of these miscellaneous things are solved by her.

She even served as the foreman for the reconstruction of Qunyu Pavilion.

"Then I'll trouble you, Baiwen." Wang Daoyi nodded to Baiwen, "I will ask Abatui to come over as soon as possible."

"Goodbye then, no need to send it off."

Saying goodbye to Ning Guang, Wang Daoyi didn't behave as he did when he came here.

The light was distorted, and Wang Daoyi disappeared in front of Ning Guang and Bai Wen.

Ning Guang is okay, after all, he is well-informed.

Baiwen's eyes widened, as if he wanted to see where Wang Daoyi had gone.

"Oh, don't look at it. How can you understand a god's magic?"

"His Excellency Wang Daoyi is really a god." Baiwen said with disbelief in his tone.

Ning Guang looked at his secretary amusedly: "What else? It's not like you haven't read the information. This old friend of ours is truly a god."

In front of Ningguang alone, Baiwen lost his shrewdness and ability, and instead showed a hint of naivety.

"That's awesome, wouldn't he be just like an emperor?"

Ning Guang was slightly silent,

Who is stronger, Wang Daoyi or the Emperor, Ningguang still prefers the Emperor.

After all, Wang Daoyi was once a member of the emperor, and Ningguang knew this.

"Okay, don't be stupid, there are still a lot of things to do today." Ningguang interrupted Baiwen's reverie angrily.

In order to receive the distinguished guest Wang Daoyi today, Ningguang put down a lot of things.

Now that the reception is over, these things need to be handled overtime.

Many people in Liyue know that Yuheng Xingkeqing is a workaholic.

But few people know that Ningguang's workload is no less than that of Keqing.

As the coordinator, she has to handle all matters.
