Ningguang only talked about a few issues and then stopped there.
She felt that talking any longer would seem very deliberate, especially since she really had something important to discuss.
Ningguang didn't know that the few questions she asked had just exhausted all the knowledge Qin An had learned from Zhongli. If she asked a few more questions, Qin An would have difficulty answering.
When talking about serious matters, Ningguang's expression became serious.
Her arms were very slender, and wrapped in black silk long sleeves, giving her an elegant look.
Just sitting there makes you look very wealthy and elegant.
"Mr. Qin, I asked you to come here this time because I want to discuss something with you."
Ningguang said while tapping on the coffee table.
His eyes were fixed on Qin An.
"Miss Ningguang, please tell me what you want to say. As citizens of Liyue, we can discuss anything."
Liyue citizen? A new word.
It seems that Keqing is also drafting a proposal for household registration? But there is no time to think about these things now.
Ningguang shook her head and chuckled, "Mr. Qin, there's no need to be so nervous. It's just a small matter."
Her voice is steady yet soft, and she has a very royal sisterly temperament.
No, Ningguang is a queen.
After comforting Qin An, Ningguang picked up her pipe. She didn't light it, but just shook it in her hand: "I heard that sir organized a Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association..."
After hearing Ningguang's words, Qin An was shocked!
The surprise in my heart cannot be described in words.
How did she know about the Liyue Workers’ Mutual Aid Association?
This was the only question left in Qin An's mind.
That's not right! The members of my organization are all my own people. Doesn't it seem like there is a traitor inside?
Zhongli? Impossible. He was still in charge of the assassination of the Geo King. He had no chance to reveal the information to Ningguang.
Wang Xiaomei?
It seems that she is just an ordinary secretary of Yue Haiting, and she usually doesn't have any contact with people of Ningguang's status!
Besides, she works overtime all day long, and the organization she founded is completely in line with her wishes. She is a partner who works hard with her, so it is even more impossible for her to reveal her information to Ningguang.
What Lao Liu said... is even more impossible.
Old Liu's personality doesn't seem like he would reveal any information about the organization.
That's strange. How did Ningguang know about the existence of the Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association? She did such a good job of keeping it a secret. This shouldn't be the case!
Qin An thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable answer.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to ask in person: "Ms. Ningguang, how did you know about the Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association?"
If that doesn't work, you can only run away early.
In any case, the mutual assistance among Liyue workers is very important in Qin An’s subsequent plans.
It is his important means to get involved in the conflicts in Liyue!
If the Liyue higher-ups discover this in advance and try to resolve the crisis, they will have to find another way, and the other party will probably be well prepared.
It will be difficult to use similar methods in the future.
Qin An had already prepared for the worst in his heart.
Ningguang said lightly, "I heard about it from the dock workers. A relative of a secretary at the Qun Yu Pavilion works at the docks. I found this story from her very interesting."
Ningguang naturally did not reveal Ganyu's existence.
First of all, from a friend's perspective, Ningguang very much approves of Ganyu's attitude towards changing her loneliness, and she naturally won't cause trouble for Ganyu's friendship.
And she also promised Ganyu to help Ganyu conceal her identity.
The more Yue thought about this, the more interesting it became to Ningguang, which was also the reason why she was interested in Qin An.
"what?"
Qin An was very surprised.
"what happened?"
Ningguang didn't know why Qin An reacted so strongly.
"fine."
Qin An breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was in his throat.
It turns out that there wasn't a traitor in the organization...but he was accidentally exposed.
It just so happened that I went to the dock yesterday to do some promotion. According to what Ningguang said, it was just a coincidence and I was just unlucky.
Qin An also thought this was normal.
Everyone in the group is our own people, so how could there be a traitor?
There is another more important point!
Ningguang's attitude!
Qin An keenly noticed that when Ningguang mentioned the Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association, she was just curious and had no other thoughts.
With her identity, she doesn't need to hide in front of Qin An.
In other words... she is not annoyed by the existence of the Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association?
Chapter 32: Keqing, are you here too?
Qin An was also puzzled by Ningguang's reaction.
What is Ningguang's identity? Tianquan Star, one of the seven stars of Liyue! Subjective business and law!
She is the largest businessman in Liyue. With her status, how could she allow an organization like the trade union to exist?
Businessmen are in opposition to workers in terms of their interests. Isn’t the purpose of trade unions to guarantee workers’ legitimate rights and interests?
If businessmen want to gain more rights, don’t they have to start with the workers?
This is a law; the conflict between the two cannot possibly disappear.
Big businessmen hate the existence of ordinary guilds, unless the head of the guild is one of their own.
But now the Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Guest House was founded by itself, and the people within the organization are all its own people and have no relationship with the Liyue upper echelons. If it is allowed to develop, it will unite the entire working class of Liyue.
As the head of Liyue's business, Ningguang could not be unaware of how powerful the workers are.
With her wisdom, she would be able to understand what Qin An wanted to do just by thinking about the mutual aid structure of Liyue workers, right?
Qin An's approach will inevitably push workers into the opposing class of businessmen.
Isn’t Ningguang a businessman?
This is why Qin An’s understanding of Ningguang is relatively lacking.
It is true that the rumor outside is that Ningguang is the largest businessman in Liyue, but her primary goal has always been to develop Liyue!
In Ningguang's heart, Liyue will always be number one.
For example, if Liyue Harbor is in danger one day and the Jade Pavilion needs to be sacrificed to end the situation, Ningguang will sacrifice the Jade Pavilion without any hesitation.
Although Mora and the Jade Pavilion are important to her, both can be discarded compared to Liyue.
Ningguang was not unaware of the importance of the position in the guild established by Qin An.
But Ganyu made it very clear that if the guild was handed over to civilian leaders, its purity would be guaranteed, and the guild's responsibility would be to protect the rights of the workers.
If we talk about it from a businessman's perspective, we will definitely find someone to replace Qin An, and then send official people to take charge. In this way... there will be a lot of room to do anything.
However, such a development is equivalent to restricting Liyue in disguise.
Also a hidden explosive pack.
Doing so would be equivalent to sustainable exhaustion of resources, but is there really such a good thing?
No!
Ganyu has seen too much of human nature over thousands of years and knows human nature too well, so she can see it at a glance.
Ningguang, on the other hand, has such excellent qualities that she can understand what Ganyu means.
Ganyu had discussed with her before about letting Qin An continue to be in charge of the Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association. It was not out of selfishness, but because Ganyu really thought that Qin An was very outstanding and that with him around, he would be able to better lead the development of the Mutual Aid Association.
Spread to the entire working class of Liyue.
Although Qin An's original intention was to create an excuse to stir up trouble and stir up internal conflicts in Liyue.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Qin An was thinking, and Ningguang was watching Qin An thinking.
"What does Mr. Qin think?"
Ningguang suddenly asked.
"Oh, let's do this... Wait a minute, Miss Ningguang hasn't said anything yet, right?"
Qin An had just subconsciously dealt with it casually. After all, it was his usual habit to agree with things he didn't care about.
Now I suddenly realized that this was not the time to agree, because the person talking to me was Ningguang!
If I'm not careful, she will sell me out, right?
Ningguang saw Qin An's expression when he realized what was happening, and there was a look of pity on her face.
Qin An was wondering, this woman didn't even try to cover up! Were you planning to trick me just now?
Ningguang didn't want to trick Qin An, but she wanted Qin An to take responsibility for this matter seriously.
"Mr. Qin's Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association is actually a good idea, and it is also in line with the current situation in Liyue. I discussed it with other colleagues."
Ningguang paused here and looked at Qin An.
Qin An was also a little nervous, for he was afraid that his plan to rebellion would be exposed.
