Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

"Ms. Ningguang, we are back."

A call came from outside the door, and then the three beautiful figures put away their rain gear and stepped into the door.

"Well, is everything ready?" The woman who had been chatting with Su Ping stood up and asked softly.

"Everything is ready, don't worry, we will definitely get it tomorrow!" Among the three, a woman wearing glasses and with short hair answered with a smile.

The white-haired woman nodded, then glanced at the boy who seemed to be stunned, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? I just told you not to get wet in the rain. Without a healthy body, how can you make money? You must understand this principle!"

Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, stunned. No matter what, he could not have imagined that it would be like this.

The three women who had just entered the room also walked closer. Seeing Su Ping, whose body was mostly hidden by the counter, they had different expressions.

There is only one person who is different, with short hair and wearing glasses. Since the white-haired woman is Ningguang, who else could this person be except Baishi?

"Wow, Boss Su, you are really well-informed. You actually found this place by yourself." Bai Shi covered his mouth and laughed, "Could it be that you couldn't wait, so you came here a day earlier?"

After hearing this, Su Ping fell silent. The other two women were surprised. Ningguang was even more surprised. She never thought that her partner would come to her house on his own and talk for such a long time without her knowing.

Glancing at Ningguang's increasingly strange look, Su Ping explained, "I didn't know this was Miss Ningguang's store. I was just strolling around and was invited to come in and sit down!"

Ningguang didn't say anything. No one knew what she was thinking. Was it about future cooperation, or terminating it because she thought the boy was not a kind person, or something else.

Bai Shi had not thought of this level. He originally wanted to ask how the cooperation negotiations were going, but when he found that his boss's face looked a little strange, he shut up in dismay.

The two women beside her looked at each other and decided to keep silent and wait for the boss to come up with a solution to avoid being scolded.

Although Ningguang usually has a good temper and her interpersonal relationships are beyond reproach, the current situation is not ordinary after all, and the best option is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

The boy's somewhat embarrassed expression was reflected in Ningguang's red eyes, but her eyes were concealing a deep scrutiny and she did not relax at all.

Come to think of it, tomorrow is the time for them to discuss the cooperation in detail, and now the other party happens to appear in the store, which makes others think that he has ulterior motives.

The three people, including Bai Shi, all had the same idea, except that two of them were thinking about business, and one was thinking about some clichéd love plots, and was looking at the two with a slightly blushing cheek.

For a moment, the grocery store fell silent. Although there were five people there, it was still not as lively as when there were only two people. Only the sound of raindrops dripping outside the door seemed to be knocking at people's heartstrings, triggering some unknown things.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, and seeing that they had no intention of asking, he prepared to explain further, at least to restore some impression and increase the possibility of cooperation.

After all, when one party arrives at the other party's territory without revealing its identity when the other party is unaware, it is possible to miss out on cooperation if the matter is not explained clearly.

As for the words just now that he was unaware of, he himself was a little unconvinced, because how could it be such a coincidence? Although it was the fact, it was too hard to convince. He opened his mouth and was about to speak slowly.

But he swallowed the words back because Ningguang spoke up and asked in a voice that was indistinguishable from emotion: "Boss Su of the snack stand, Su Ping, right?"

Su Ping nodded and said, "I am."

"Ready to cooperate tomorrow, right?"

"Correct."

"What's with this outfit?"

"Something happened at home, so I was just relaxing on the street."

There was no hesitation in the question and answer, and it all sounded like it had been rehearsed in advance, but in fact both parties were in a good state, so the answers were fluent.

This is a skill that every businessman needs to possess. Otherwise, if that sentence is not said first and the customer is dissatisfied, he or she may cancel the order, which would be a waste of effort.

Ningguang sat back in her original seat and said slowly, "The original date was set for tomorrow, but since we met first, why not just settle it today? Boss Su is wet, so I don't think it's appropriate.

Bai Wen, go upstairs and boil a bucket of water so that Boss Su can take a bath and change clothes. We won't take advantage of others' misfortune and do such things!"

The woman named Baiwen was obviously a nimble person. When Ningguang gave the order, she immediately said that she had gone upstairs to prepare.

"Boss Su." Ningguang turned around and looked at the young man, saying, "Bai Wen is quite skilled, I think he has already fetched water and is boiling it. Please."

Su Ping looked at the woman who made a please gesture, said sorry for the trouble, and went upstairs from the innermost staircase of the shop.

He could see that the other party had no ill intentions and there was no possibility that she would use this as a threat, so the only possibility was that the girl was just being kind.

"He looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. His way of doing things is both friendly and appropriate. He is a good candidate!" Su Ping thought to himself.

He looked a little thoughtful, like a scholar, but with a stained towel in his hand, he instantly lost his elegant and refined feeling and looked like a waiter instead. Combined with that expression, he looked indescribably funny.

Downstairs, Ningguang held a small teacup with half a cup of tea left in one hand and ordered, "Bai Xiao, go to the clothing store and pick out a set of men's clothes."

"Got it." Bai Xiao smiled, turned around slowly, got his rain gear, and went out holding an umbrella.

“It doesn’t have to be too expensive, just a reasonable price. It has to be comfortable and fit well. It must be difficult for him to wear that even when going out.” Ningguang’s words then came out from the shop.

"Got it." Bai Xiao seemed to have an answer to every question, so he had to reply with this sentence, and then walked away with light steps.

There is a ready-made clothing store not far from the grocery store. You can buy clothes and take them back without worrying about getting your new clothes wet due to the long journey.

The two subordinates each had something to do, and the remaining one was no exception. He was asked by Ningguang to wipe the water stains on the floor and chair.

When the subordinates are not around, of course the boss has to do everything himself, but now that the subordinates are back, it's time for the boss to take a break, so Ningguang is drinking tea and Baishi is mopping the floor.

Ningguang took a sip of tea and thought to herself, "Could it be that the family went bankrupt after the system reform?"

Judging from the information she got from Baishi, she could only come up with this possibility. After all, she knew that someone had suppressed Boss Su before. If she had not been willing to cooperate with him, she didn't know what would happen now.

From the beginning to the end, she never doubted the arrival of the young man, and the chattering when she didn't know his identity just now was a deliberate arrangement. She didn't understand why a boy who looked younger than herself used to have a booming stall business, but now he was so poor that he had to get wet in the rain on the street.

After all, no matter how precarious the business was, with the money earned over the past few years and the family savings, as long as they were not squandered, the boy’s situation would definitely not be what she saw.

But she had just figured out this problem. Although it was just her imagination, it was indeed in line with common sense. That is... the power struggle in the business world.

Ningguang sighed and said to herself, "What a good seedling! He is smart, calm in times of crisis, and knows the rules. If we train him well, he can be a great help in the future."

More friends mean more paths, which refers to friends who are truly capable and worth making friends with. In Ningguang's opinion, Su Ping is such a person.

"Um, hehehe..." Bai Shi seemed to want to say something, but was too embarrassed to do so. He could only show off his work, blushing and blinking.

Ningguang knew what her subordinate was thinking, so she said unhappily, "Tell me, what did you see outside? Is it expensive?"

Bai Shi shook his head, "That's not it."

"You don't want to buy it, but you want another salary advance? You've already received the advance for two months, and you still want it?" Ningguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she hadn't met a boss like her, she would have been fired long ago.

Bai Shi said: "Not really, I just want to ask Miss Ningguang something personal."

"It's a personal matter." Ningguang looked at the subordinate in surprise and nodded, "Tell me about it."

Bai Shi said "oh", then looked around furtively and moved closer so that the two delicate bodies could feel each other's warmth.

Just when Ningguang was wondering what private matter required such an inquiry, Bai Shi said something that made her almost drop the teacup in her hand and break it on the ground.

"Ms. Ningguang, when I came here just now, I noticed that the towel that Boss Su was holding was of a different color. And you asked him to go upstairs to take a shower. Could it be that you..."

"Shut up!" Ningguang said calmly.

Although the words were soft and only two, Bai Shi quickly shut up, stood up straight, glanced into the distance, as if it was none of their business if he didn't ask.

Ningguang was very familiar with these three subordinates. How could she not know what they were thinking? She immediately warned them, “Don’t talk nonsense outside!”

"Okay, I'll definitely not go out and talk nonsense!" Bai Shi nodded like a chick pecking at rice and agreed readily.

Ningguang reiterated, “Not just outsiders, but also our own people. Don’t talk nonsense or make up stories, or you’ll starve for the next two months!”

Bai Shi nodded repeatedly. Even if he didn't get paid, it would be okay because the restaurant provided meals. If he really couldn't make it, he could just do it himself. However, the other party was the boss, so he had to cooperate.

"Then I should be able to tell the truth, right?"

"Are you sure you are telling the truth?"

"Then didn't you just..."

"Of course not. He is a few years younger than me, how could he have that? You should stop watching things you shouldn't."

Although it feels like the situation is getting worse the more she explains, she cannot not explain. Having a subordinate who loves to daydream is a blessing for Ningguang because she won't feel bored. But it is also a curse because such things may spread to her, just like now.

There is a saying that goes "good fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows good fortune", which is indeed true.
