Genshin Impact: Forced to Become a Follower of the Seven Gods

"Zhongli!"

The girl skipped around to the back of the desk and tapped her black and red nails on the surface. "I've been so busy these days!"

The man in golden brown pursed his lips and glanced at the contracts on the table. "The hall master should be able to handle these."

"But whenever I think of you and Su Ming playing outside, working overtime becomes unpleasant at all!" Hu Tao frowned, looking serious, "So Su Ming didn't come back with you this time?"

Hearing this, Zhongli shook his head, "He has other things to do."

With a part-time job and a side job, it's a miracle that Su Ming is not bald.

"Okay..." Hu Tao sat down on the chair next to her, with her toes resting on the crossbar. "But I heard from Xingqiu a few days ago that Su Ming's business seems to be very big now."

"Indeed." Zhongli turned a page of the contract and added two more lines to the shopping list in his mind.

Hu Tao tilted her head and said seriously, "So why doesn't Su Ming return to Liyue Harbor? Liyue Harbor has convenient transportation and is his hometown, so it's more suitable for doing business, right?"

Zhongli raised his eyes slightly and shook his head silently.

If Su Ming stayed in Liyue Harbor permanently, he would not be able to sleep well.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

Outside the Wangsheng Hall, the white-haired young man waved with a smile on his face, "Long time no see."

The orange-haired man poked his head out from the side, touched the tip of his nose and said, "Adonis and I are here again. Are you welcome, Mr. Zhongli?"

Zhongli:……

Zhongli, who was always calm and composed, had a question mark on his face, "Why are you here again?"

After Inazuma's troubles, is it now Liyue's turn?

"Eh? So you're my big client!" Hu Tao's eyes lit up, and she knocked on the table without any hesitation, "Are you two here to see Mr. Zhongli? In that case..."

Having said this, Hu Tao turned her gaze towards Zhong Li, "Then I'll give you a day off..."

Go play with clients for pay!

Important customers! We can’t lose them!

Zhongli looked at the people in front of him with complicated eyes, but stood up from the chair without hesitation and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, "Then I'll trouble you with these matters, Hall Master."

As he spoke, Zhongli walked out, pausing slightly when he passed the white-haired man.

Su Ming shrugged and spread his hands, "I also asked a traveler to make dumplings for me in the evening."

Hearing this, Zhongli raised an eyebrow, "Is this why you appeared in Liyue?"

"Eh?" Hu Tao poked her head out, looking curious, "Has the Traveler returned to Liyue as well?"

Tartaglia lowered her head to adjust her leg rings and said, "Of course."

"Great!" Walnut clapped his hands and took out a card from his pocket. "Last time a traveler said that my nails were beautiful, so I applied for a card!"

"It looks good?" Tartaglia glanced at the familiar card in Kurumi's hand and asked in confusion, "Is it the one you are like?"

Kurumi's eyes lit up and she stretched her hand forward, "Yes! The lady from the Loach Beauty Salon drew a little ghost for me!"

It is originally black, which also represents the funeral industry in which it works.

But after adding the little ghost, it suddenly becomes cute? !

There was a thoughtful look in Tartaglia's eyes, and he turned to look at Su Ming, "So do you want to paint your nails? I feel..."

Having said that, Tartaglia took two steps back and looked Su Ming up and down, "I think green goes well with your clothes today."

He was wearing a green shirt, white pants and a white jacket, which was a little different from his usual unethical look.

Hearing this, Su Ming shook his head, "What gave you this illusion?"

"Because I looked through the Fatui's work log yesterday." Tartaglia stretched and said lightly, "Before becoming a regular employee, Lord Disaster often daydreamed, especially when he accidentally stained his fingers while writing in the account book, he had to spend a long time washing his hands."

Su Ming raised his eyebrows, "Is there a possibility that I am just slacking off?"

Being afraid that the ink on your fingers will stain the account book is a great excuse to slack off.

Wash your hands for ten minutes each time, then apply hand cream for another ten minutes. If you do this several times a day, that would be several hours.

On the side, Zhongli raised an eyebrow.

Hmm... good idea.

"But your outfit today does suit green nails very well." Zhongli glanced at Su Ming and said, "It seems that I rarely see you dressed like this."

Hearing this, Su Ming lowered his eyes and looked at his body. "This is a birthday gift from my mother. She asked me to wear it."

Although I don’t know how long ago my birthday passed.

"Hey..." Walnut walked out of the door and closed it gently, "So can you please stop standing in front of my door and chatting? I still have to go find the traveler!"

Su Ming nodded and took two steps forward, "But Master Hu, remember to send the traveler over to cook!"

"Okay." Walnut skipped forward and waved her hand, "I'll remember to bring myself over to eat!"

Watching Hu Tao's back disappear at the street corner, Zhongli sighed helplessly and walked towards the small building behind the Wangsheng Hall with familiarity, "Are you really just here to eat this time?"

Su Ming followed silently, "By the way, I came to tell the teacher that I might do something bad when I come to Liyue this time."

Zhongli paused slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He felt embarrassed when the students he had brought up wanted to attack the empire he had built.

but……

"Actually, you don't have to tell me about this." Zhongli took a deep breath and regained his steady pace.

If you don't tell him, he can pretend he doesn't know.

He believed in Su Ming's methods, and also believed that Liyue could withstand the storm today.

Su Ming shrugged his shoulders and said seriously, "Actually, I was planning to steal the Immortal Ancestor's magic transformation after I did the bad thing."

"So?" Zhongli raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "It seems you haven't defeated me yet."

Su Ming's expression froze, and he couldn't help but touch his chin with his hand, "Let me think about it."

"Think about who you're going to play mahjong with tonight?" Tartaglia yawned, walked quickly forward and opened the door of the small building, "But can you change your partner? I've been losing badly lately."

"Is it bad to lose money to me? I want to save pocket money for my sister." Su Ming followed Zhong Li into the house and reached out to unbutton his cuffs. "My mother also asked me to bring a gift to Mr. Zhong Li."

As he spoke, Su Ming quickly took out the Chen Ge pot and shook it, revealing a simple coat with fine stitching and gift boxes of various sizes.

Su Ming sighed and said helplessly: "It is said that it is the etiquette between master and disciple that should be supplemented over the years."

Zhongli was slightly startled. "No need to do that. Your parents have been very considerate over the years."

"Really?" Su Ming frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "I thought they died really well."

Zhongli stretched out his hand to open the small boxes and whispered, "Before your parents left, they donated money to the General Affairs Department and asked the General Affairs Department..."

"What do you want me to tell you?" A question mark flashed in Su Ming's eyes, and he felt confused.

General Affairs Department?

"I asked you to take care of me in my old age." Zhongli pursed his lips and sighed heavily in his heart.

His retirement fund had been established without his knowledge, but...

He is not old yet!
