Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Everyone came talking and laughing.

Ganyu and Ningguang have been waiting here for a long time.

Ningguang changed her ordinary clothing style into long-sleeved clothing in the ancient Liyue style. Her hair, which was usually draped over her shoulders, was now tied up high, with the excess hair slightly hanging down. She exuded a noble and elegant temperament.

Ganyu still wore her usual outfit, but now her clothes had a few more embellishments.

Saw two people waiting.

"Sister Ningguang, are you feeling better?" Su Mo asked with some concern.

Ningguang nodded, "It's okay now." Then she changed the subject, "You still care about me. I haven't seen you come to see me for a few days, and now you are being polite," there was a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Su Mo suddenly felt ashamed.

He had been mainly accompanying Yunjin and the others these past few days. As for Ningguang, he had heard from Keqing that she was fine and would be fine after a rest, so he didn't pay too much attention to her.

Ningguang couldn't help but smile when she saw Su Mo being humiliated.

Then he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, now that you are here, let's go."

Then Ningguang led everyone to the celebration.

The audience was packed. This was a rare Liyue Defense Award Ceremony that only happened once in decades. Naturally, those who had never seen it before came to join in the fun.

Ningguang, the current leader of Tianquan and Liyue, took the stage first to deliver an opening speech, expressing her joy for Liyue's overcoming difficulties and her yearning for its future development. She also commemorated and praised the brave warriors and outstanding individuals who had shed blood and sacrificed in the war, and presented them with honors.

The ceremony officially began with warm applause.

Everyone went on stage one by one to receive their awards.

Hu Tao was even more excited. Facing the huge and enthusiastic audience, she was not the least bit timid. Instead, after Keqing presented the medal of honor, she stole the spotlight and raised the medal to the crowd, shouting, "It is a great honor for me, Hu Tao, and for Wangsheng Hall to receive this honor!"

"To bring joy to all, on this joyous occasion, I hereby announce that within ten days at Wangsheng Hall, we'll offer a buy-one-get-four-free promotion, personally facilitated by our distinguished guest, Zhongli. Time is limited, so first come, first served. The first thirty people to arrive will receive guest instrumental accompaniment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sigh in the crowd.

Ying, Paimeng and the others were speechless for a while.

"It's obviously a festive day, why are you talking about this? Moreover, there are thirty people to be appointed within ten days, and Zhongli has to take care of each one personally. This will probably tire Zhongli to death." Paimeng looked at Zhongli and saw that he had a calm face.

"Zhongli, aren't you worried?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

If it were her, she would definitely scold the boss Hu Tao for being dishonest.

Thirty in ten days, and she has to do it all herself. She has to work from morning to night without any rest time. She might as well be exhausted to death.

After hearing Paimeng's words, Zhongli's face remained calm, his eyes gentle. He looked at the lively girl on the stage, his lips twitching as he spoke with a hint of ease, "The Hall Master is trying to boost sales for the Wangsheng Hall. The better the sales, the more commission I'll get. What's there to worry about?"

"Furthermore, according to general theory, this wave of disparity is actually detrimental to the development of the Wangsheng Hall. After all, who would seek trouble and bring disaster on such a happy occasion?"

When Paimeng heard this, it seemed to make some sense. After all, who would rush over when there was nothing to do, unless the whole family died at once.

"Since you knew it, why didn't you stop it? Aren't you worried at all?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"The hall master naturally has his own reasons. I am just a guest official and there is no need to interfere."

Why is he interfering?

Isn't it nice that the little girl is so happy?

The most important thing for children is to be happy first, and everything else can be taken care of later.

As for the performance of Wangshengtang, is it good? Is my commission high?

That doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

He is white anyway...

Well, bookkeeping, yes, bookkeeping!

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Hu Tao felt very satisfied and shouted loudly, "Remember to come and see me," and then stepped down.

Then Xiang Lingying and others came on stage one after another.

Ningguang personally presented medals of honor to Ying and Paimon.

"Congratulations to both of you for receiving such an honor. Liyue will never forget your contributions," Ningguang said with a smile.

"It's our honor to contribute to Liyue, especially since Sister Ningguang is personally presenting the award. It's really a bit disrespectful." Ying said modestly.

Ningguang smiled. "Where did you learn that? Don't call me sister, I still want to stay young for a while."

Ying chuckled, "Su Mo calls you sister, and as Su Mo's friend, I naturally have to follow suit and call you sister."

"Oh, so it seems that I am still benefiting from Su Mo?" Ningguang joked.

Ying hurriedly shook her head, looking innocent and flustered as she explained, "I never said it was because of him. It doesn't really matter whether Su Mo is involved or not. The most important thing is that I'm truly impressed by your character and actions."

"Especially the courage you showed in abandoning the Qun Yu Pavilion at the end of the battle, it really shocked me. I think if it were me, I really wouldn't be willing to do so, not to mention anything else. Just for this, you are indeed worthy of being called my sister." Ying's tone was sincere and eager, and she looked like she was afraid of being misunderstood.

Ningguang couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Ying's words. "Well, well, well, you're no wonder you're so close to Su Mo. I've even learned his complimenting skills."

Ying was unhappy, "No way! This is all from my heart. I am an honest person. Everyone knows that I only tell the truth."

Ningguang saw through it but didn't say anything. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, okay. I know you're thoughtful. Don't miss the celebration party later. I want to have a good meal with you all."

Ying smiled and nodded in response, "Thank you, Sister Ningguang, for the reminder."

After Ningguang left, Ying and Paimeng came to the stage.

Paimeng looked at Ying and scratched his head, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong with you? Just say it if you have something to say." Ying said casually while admiring the medal in her hand.

"Ying, you have changed. I feel like you are deliberately flattering me," Paimon said.

The conversation between Ying and Ningguang just now was completely inconsistent with her stereotype of Ying. If it were normal, Ying might just thank the other party, but just now it was obvious that she was agreeing with him.

Ying frowned, "Is this called flattery? Is this called telling the truth? Am I wrong? Take the Qun Yu Pavilion for example, if it belonged to you, would you be willing to destroy it?"

"I guess she can't bear to part with it," Paimeng hesitated. After all, the Jade Pavilion was so big, with so many things inside. Even if she was wealthy, she couldn't afford to squander it like that.

Ying nodded. "Isn't that enough? Actually, there aren't that many tricks. It just magnified my admiration a little bit." She stretched out the space between her index finger and thumb to show Paimon.

"But why do you praise people so much? I feel like you're exaggerating a bit. I think just saying it appropriately is enough."

Ying smiled faintly, "You don't understand this, right? There are certain techniques for praising people. You can praise, but don't do it carelessly. As I said, it can't be completely true, nor can it be completely false. Half true, half false, with a little bit of exaggeration is fine, so that it will feel real."

After all, when you praise someone, you can't just praise them randomly. You have to combine the praise with reality and be half true and half false.

It’s okay if it’s a little exaggerated, but the main thing is that it has to be genuine.

If you make it up, even if you describe it in a very exaggerated way, people will feel that it lacks authenticity and feel that you are deliberately flattering them.

If you only talk about practical matters, others will be a little happy, but if you express your thoughts in a straightforward manner, it may be a little dull and thus fail to achieve an ideal effect.

But if you combine it with reality and make some small modifications and insights, then this is your own idea, and it can also make the other person see your sincerity and feel satisfied in their heart, and their favor towards you will naturally increase rapidly.

Of course, if it were someone else, given her personality, she wouldn't be so polite. But who was the other person? It was Liyue's Tianquan Ningguang. It should be okay to build a good relationship with her.

And most importantly, she's Su Mo's sister. You get the idea: those who are close to the water get the moon first. This is laying the groundwork for the future.

After hearing Ying's words, Paimon seemed to understand something and clapped his hands with a shocked expression, "I understand."

Ying nodded and smiled, "Well, the boy is teachable! What do you understand?" She asked worriedly.

Paimon nodded seriously, "Yeah, I understand. This is what they call speaking the truth to people and telling lies to ghosts."

Ying's smile froze, and turned into a nameless fire, "Is that how you understand it!?"

"What else? Do you want me to praise you?" Paimeng looked confused.

Ying was speechless, "You deserve to be deceived."

"Aren't we both deceived?" Paimon said.

"You!" Ying felt as if her heart was pierced by a sharp sword and she was speechless.

……

Go to sleep, go to sleep, I have to get up early for work tomorrow.

I am so exhausted every day. I still have to type after work. I feel like a caterpillar, pupating and slowly moving forward all day long.

I really want a raise! Even if school starts, that's fine!

But looking at my empty wallet, I suddenly decided to give up...

Garlic bird, garlic bird, go to sleep!
