Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

Even Catherine, who had worked in the financial industry for a long time, had no doubts after seeing it. She wanted such a cool statue, let alone giving it away for free. That would be no different from giving Mora away directly.

The Hermit is really good at charity. Although I have no idea where he got such a perfect statue, the Queen has a great eye. Working with the Hermit is really promising!

Ekaterina was full of energy. The once dark future of the Northern Bank was instantly filled with light. Now she was confident that she could make the Northern Bank flourish in Liyue!

With fists punching the Jade Pavilion and kicking the Golden House, we will directly unify Liyue!

All of the above is just her boasting. If you really want to hold someone accountable, please go find the Hermit.

Under Su Ming's arrangement, the advertisements for the Northern Bank began to spread everywhere, from small roadside billboards to large Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's Xinyue Pavilion, all of which had tempting advertisements.

At the same time, a collaboration was reached with Wangshengtang. All the figurines produced by Beiguo Bank are handled by professional appraiser Zhong Li Keqing, whose reputation guarantees both their historical significance and craftsmanship.

"According to the statistics in the ledger, the Northern Bank raised more than 300 million Mora today!" Suzuran's eyes lit up. Although the publicity and figurines contributed to this success, it would not be easy to replicate such a grand occasion in the future, but it was still an achievement to be proud of.

Keep in mind that this was a customer snatched from Ningguang! Not to mention Ningguang, no one expected that the people of Liyue would switch sides because of the Emperor's figure. Is this the spending power of Emperor fans?

"Don't worry, I have something even more ruthless to come," Su Ming revealed a sly smile. All those who store Mora will have their VIP level determined based on the cumulative amount they recharge. At that time, each level will be given a free statue. I'm not afraid that people from Liyue won't come to recharge.

Not only the Emperor, but also Gan Yu Ke cat figurines, and even Qi Qi Hu Tao are no problem. As long as his machines can be manufactured quickly, there is no figurine he cannot make.

I have a feeling that the development path of Beiguo Bank has gone astray. It seems to have completely lost its bank-like appearance and has become just a figurine factory disguised as a bank.

What puzzled Su Ming was that the staff who were originally responsible for the basic operations of the Northern Bank had no objections at all. On the contrary, they were even more motivated than him and Suzuran. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Fatui had taken over Liyue.

"My taste is pretty good, isn't it?" The girl with plum blossom eyes sat smugly on the sofa and leisurely picked up the juice next to her and started drinking.

Linglan had to admit that the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu, was indeed incredibly charming when he wore a cute little dress; he was probably the kind of "white moonlight" often mentioned in light novels.

Hu Tao puffed out her washboard-like chest, her face beaming with joy. She had never seen so many people holding flyers for the Hall of Rebirth. "Su Ming, Ling Lan, thank you so much this time. When you die, we'll definitely use the best coffins to put your bodies in!"

Linglan was both amused and exasperated. "No need for that," she thought. She hadn't won over Su Ming yet, and she couldn't just lie there like a corpse! Even if she died, she wanted to experience the joy of the part!

"It's nothing, just help urge Elder Zhong to sign more efficiently," Su Ming said with a smile. As a valuable appraiser, he naturally had to sign the figurine base himself.

In a sense, although no one knew it, this was indeed the signature of the Rock King Emperor.

"Leave it to me. Xiao Zhong is a good guy, but he likes to slack off. I'll make sure he gets a good working look when I get back!"

Hu Tao patted her chest and promised, her face clearly showing that she would squeeze every last drop of Zhong Li's time to slack off. As the head of the hall, this was her duty!

Although I feel a little bad for Zhongli, he sent the bills to the Hall of Rebirth every day, so now it's time for Zhongli to repay the Hall of Rebirth!

Having nurtured Zhongli as a guest advisor for so long, now is the time for him to shine!

Su Ming laughed shamelessly when he saw this scene. He apologized to Zhong Li, saying that it was true that the bill was sent to the Northern Bank, but everything comes at a price.

The price to pay is that Zhongli can no longer happily live the life of a social outcast and must actively participate in the development of Liyue.

Slacking off is wrong; such behavior is detrimental to social development. He should bear this painful experience alone!

There can't be a second slacker in the entire Liyue region. We must train Zhongli to be an excellent guest retainer who loves hard work!

One day, Zhongli will have to invite him for tea.

Su Ming nodded. The initial construction of the Northern Bank was complete. All that was needed now was to maintain it, as it was enough to cover his expenses in Liyue.

Her Majesty the Queen only asked him to gather intelligence; she didn't tell him to build a Winter's End commercial empire in Liyue. At times like these, one needs to act within one's capabilities. As the old saying goes, don't take initiative, don't refuse, and don't take responsibility.

"Brother Su Ming, tomorrow is my birthday," Linglan pursed her lips, a blush rising on her cheeks. "One more year, you promised me!"

The young nun was no longer as shy as she had been at the beginning, afraid to express her love. More than that shyness, she was afraid of losing this hard-won light.

Even if she's shy, she'll bravely express her love. She doesn't want to miss out because of her pride, and she doesn't want to regret it later!

"On my birthday night, I thought..."

Linglan slightly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of heat, her pretty face burning hot.

Chapter 165 Rainbow Skirt Bathed in Snow

"Hey, I'm still here, can you guys tone it down a bit?"

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips, her face slightly flushed. These two are really something, how can they show off their love so openly in public? Don't they want single people to live?

Hu Tangzhu was clearly jealous, but the thought of the Mora she had earned today made her happy again. Anyway, love is a matter of mutual consent, and she wouldn't say anything. She just wondered if they could wait until she left before having those 18+ conversations!

She's still a child (referring to her chest size), she can't handle such stimulating scenes! She'll definitely have erotic dreams tonight!

Linglan pouted and pushed Hu Tao toward the door. "Tao Tao, go back to the Rebirth Hall for tea first. We can talk about it tonight. This is a critical time!"

"Fine, I'll go back. Who wants to drink tea every day like Zhongli?" Hu Tao was helplessly pushed out, and also took a glass of juice with her.

"People's hearts have changed so much these days," Hu Tao thought with a hint of resentment. "Even coming to work these days means being forced to eat dog food." She thought, "These two guys look so sweet, how annoying!"

When will it be her turn to have a sweet romance? Forget it, she'd rather spend that time handing out more flyers for the funeral parlor; they'd definitely sell a lot more coffins these next few days.

After getting Walnut away, Linglan breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around to look at Su Ming again, she had returned to being the pitiful little nun.

Su Ming thought about his still-recovering kidneys, and then he thought about how if he and Linglan had a part, wouldn't he be enjoying double the weakness at the same time? The end result would be that the three hours would be reduced to one hour. It hurt, it hurt so much!

Su Ming couldn't imagine Ling Lan frowning and looking at him with disappointed eyes, then saying in a comforting tone, "It's okay, Su Ming-ge, even a short time is cute."

That would be worse than just letting him die! No, this absolutely cannot happen!

For the sake of the executive's dignity, Miss Suzuran will have to make do with using her finger, even though it will most likely remain his finger.

Well, well, for Suzuran's happiness, his sacrifice is nothing.

"Tomorrow will definitely be an unforgettable birthday for you. Hmm, the food in Liyue is quite good. I'll find some chefs to cook you a big meal," Su Ming rubbed Linglan's little head, looked at her clothes and pondered for a few seconds, "I'll take you to buy a new outfit later."

It's been a week since they arrived in Liyue, and he and Linglan are still wearing winter clothes. Although there's no need to hide their identities, the main reason is that winter clothes are mostly very thick and too hot to wear, making them sweat easily.

Linglan pouted and snorted. This man was dodging the topic again, even though he knew exactly what kind of answer she wanted to hear. What a bad man!

"What kind of clothes do you want to buy? Could it be..."

Linglan blinked her innocent eyes, grabbed Su Ming's arm with both hands, and gave him a knowing look.

She definitely didn't mean to buy those risqué clothes; she just wanted Su Ming to interpret them himself. For example, she didn't explicitly say things like cat ears, cat tails, transparent gauze skirts, or lace bitter tea leaves.

Suzuran completely believed that with Su Ming's twisted nature, all of this was self-evident and didn't need to be said aloud, after all... it was really a bit embarrassing!

How can you let a girl say these things? What's the difference between that and directly saying you want to be parted with someone?

No! Absolutely not! She, Linglan, still wants to be a pure little nun; how could she do such a thing?

This kind of perverted thing should be done by Su Ming-ge, she can just enjoy it!

Linglan nodded, and that was a happy decision. She couldn't let Su Ming think she was a pervert.

Su Ming stared at Linglan in silence for a long time, beginning to reflect on whether Miss Linglan had become the way she was today because he had taught her too well or because the child was too intelligent. Why was she so abnormal?

This time, the student has truly surpassed the teacher; as expected of a pure little nun, she has a great understanding of how to learn perverted things.

"There is a very classic style of clothing in Liyue. It is said to be a classical outfit that was popular in the early days of Liyue's founding. Now it has become a very distinctive style of clothing in Liyue."

Inside the clothing store, I stood outside the fitting room waiting, listening to the shop assistant explain the history of the outfit.

In Su Ming's opinion, this clothing was similar to the Hanfu of Blue Star, except for some differences in details.

The shop assistant was clearly very excited. Even when selling clothes, it's not every day that you encounter a customer like this. This "Rainbow Snow" outfit had been sitting in the display case for many years.

There are many reasons why they don't sell. One is the high price, and the other is the unmatched temperament. Most people probably simply cannot pull off clothes with such an aura.

Finally, there's the size; it's only suitable for girls around 1.5 meters tall, making it difficult for many body types to fit properly.

But in Su Ming's eyes, wasn't this the perfect outfit designed for Xiao Linglan?

Although half a year had passed since the two first met, Miss Linglan's height had only grown from about 1.48 meters to an astonishing 1.49 meters. It couldn't be said that there was no change at all, but it was just a tiny bit.

These clothes were tailor-made for Linglan! Even Linglan herself couldn't take her eyes off the dreamy outfit and stared at it for a long time in front of the display case.

The girl naturally couldn't resist such beautiful clothes, and Su Ming only needed to say one word: "Buy (Northern Bank start-up funds + Liyue event funds)!"

Linglan naturally knew the value of this gift. A deep meaning flashed in her beautiful eyes. She was a very sentimental person. She would keep the kindness others showed her in her heart and would repay them many times over in the future.

If it weren't for Su Ming, and someone else wanted to give such an expensive gift, Linglan would have seriously refused and thanked them. Since she accepted the gift, it was as if she was prepared.

She has received so much kindness that she could spend her whole life repaying it, and Linglan is happy to spend the rest of her life with Su Mingge.

Linglan is very hypocritical; she only becomes somewhat spoiled and rude when facing Su Ming, and her heart only beats so fast when she is with him.

Just by placing my hand on my chest, I can feel the intense beating of his heart. Even though I've been by his side for so long, I still find myself falling for him.

Linglan smiled gently and pushed open the fitting room door, where she immediately saw the person she most wanted to see.

She didn't speak, but simply raised her long sleeves slightly. Her white clothes were as white as snow, her red skirt as red as the sunset, and her long silver-gray hair was draped over her shoulders, with a few strands falling down to her chest.

Lily of the Valley's eyes were captivating, like water; though she didn't speak, it was as if she said everything.

Chapter 166 Let's start with you, him, lily of the valley, it, and Him!

"God..."

Qiu Yue murmured, "Ever since I started running this clothing store, the Ni Chang Mu Xue Yi has been displayed in the showcase."

Time flies, and Qiuyue has met all sorts of customers, but she has never met anyone who can truly match this outfit. Just when she thought she would never meet someone who could truly carry off this beautiful garment, Linglan appeared.

They were like real people who had stepped out of that ancient history, almost like they had been brought back to life.

"If you two are willing to buy this outfit, I am willing to reduce the price by half of the Mora."

Qiuyue smiled with relief. So much time had passed, and she had finally found that person.

“How can that be? Such a beautiful dress should naturally be purchased at the original price,” Su Ming said with a smile as he paid the Mora. Well… since it wasn’t his Mora, he didn’t feel any remorse at all.

Besides, Mora is meant to be spent, right? You can always earn it back later. With the current efficiency of Northern Bank's capital accumulation, it can definitely generate more revenue.

Linglan's face beamed with a smile as she trotted over to Su Ming's side, her eyes practically screaming, "Praise me!"

“It suits you very well,” Su Ming nodded. Even by his standards, it was impeccably perfect. Linglan could indeed carry off this outfit.

Lily of the Valley's smile brightened even more after receiving the compliment. She turned to Akizuki and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, is there a story behind this dress?"

She had been paying attention to Qiuyue's expression before. A garment with such a long name must have a complicated past. It's hard not to be curious.

Qiuyue walked up to Linglan and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not a very complicated story."

"Legend has it that during the War of the Demon Gods, there was a demon god who controlled ice and snow, and even froze the entire Cloud Sea. Later, after this demon god came to the continent, he met a girl who was just an ordinary person and did not know the identity of the demon god."

"The demon and the maiden quickly fell in love, and even the coldest ice and snow would melt under the heat of their love."

"But their happiness was short-lived. The demon god and the girl were caught up in the demon god war. Now, the demon god only wants to live with the girl, but he is eventually forced to his death. In order to protect the girl, the demon god used his body to turn into solid ice that will not melt for thousands of years, and protected the girl in his arms."
