It looks like small talk but it's actually just asking questions.
They wanted to determine when Ningguang started to implement this plan.
"You are so kind. I am just an ordinary person. I just don't want to see ordinary workers being exploited by businessmen for no reason, so I will do my best to help on Weibo."
"As for my cooperation with Lady Ningguang, it only started this morning. I was just lucky enough to be noticed by Lady Ningguang while I was working at the dock."
In fact, Liyue also pays great attention to one’s origin.
Qin An's words were very insightful.
How can you, a commoner like you, suddenly be appreciated by Ningguang?
There are so many talented people in Yujingtai, and they are all trying their best to get into Ningguang's sight. Others haven't waited yet, so why should it be your turn?
So Qin An created a story about how, by chance, he was chosen by Bole to identify his horse.
It is also more convincing and in line with Liyue’s traditions.
In Liyue, stories like this one about gaining opportunities through hard work are quite popular.
then.
Chapter 42: It turns out he is one of us
The couple made up all the plausible stories in their minds.
A civilian boy has talent, but he is usually buried in the dock. When Lord Tianquanxing accidentally learns of his existence, he spares no effort to dig him out! He also gives him an important task!
What a Liyue story.
Doesn't this match what Qin An said before? It also meets Qin An's standard of having someone above him.
As for why they didn't know Qin An's existence, the reason was very clear, because Qin An was a newcomer! He was in the initial stage, so it was normal for them not to know him.
The couple exchanged glances and had a general idea of why Qin An found Wangshu Inn.
Maybe Lady Ningguang gave him some hint. After all, they were not around when Qin An was communicating with Lady Ningguang, so it was difficult to guess what Lady Ningguang was thinking.
You can only rely on understanding and thinking according to your habitual thinking.
Next, as long as it is confirmed that what Qin An said is true, then their speculation will become logical.
"Mr. Qin, we are very interested in what you said, but there is one question we are very curious about."
Filgodette was quick-witted and quickly found a point of entry. She asked tentatively, "I heard that the jade pavilions are decorated with all kinds of precious treasures and are very rich. Is this true?"
Qin An immediately shook his head when he heard this: "No, the Qun Yu Pavilion is decorated very elegantly with antiques and books, very refined, how can it be so exaggerated, it must be a rumor."
He didn't think much about it, thinking it was just a rumor the two had heard from the outside world, and casually explained what the Qun Yu Pavilion really looked like.
Qin An didn't know that this was what Philgodette said on purpose, just to confirm from the side whether Qin An knew about the Qun Yu Pavilion. If it was really Lord Ningguang's own people, he would definitely be summoned to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
When Qin An talked about the specific situation of Qun Yu Pavilion, the couple understood.
Qin An did not lie, he was really Lord Ningguang's subordinate, which meant he was one of them.
Qin An didn't know the identity of Wangshu Inn, maybe he didn't want Qin An to know that Lord Ningguang was deliberately helping him? Cultivating more young people is also in line with Lord Ningguang's thoughtful thoughts.
Then he would not be able to destroy Lady Ningguang's plan and must help Qin An in secret.
"Okay, we'll join. We also believe that Mr. Qin's ideas can be realized. As Liyue people, making some contribution to Liyue is also our small contribution." Huai'an said.
Filgodette also added: "Although I am not from Liyue, it is normal for me to do my share of the work since I have married into the family."
Qin An was overjoyed when he heard this.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was just a test, and Qin An didn't expect the other party to join. After all, Wangshu Inn is a large and powerful company. Why would they join a newly established organization like yours?
The result was beyond Qin An's expectations. Perhaps they were also fooled by the future he talked about?
This is a good thing!
The addition of Wangshu Inn can make the Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association more powerful, and what Qin An wants is momentum!
If you want to convince others to join, the most important thing is the evidence. You can't just say that you will be protected after joining. What guarantees do you have to convince others to believe what you say?
The importance of momentum is reflected at this time, especially now, Qin An can also openly say that Wangshu Inn is also a part of our organization!
How sincere it is to say it out loud!
"Great! From now on we will be like-minded partners!"
Qin An was very happy.
In addition, the two were very curious about the Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association and asked some questions.
Now Qin An's speeches were one after another. He first talked about Liyue's current shortcomings and the dangers of capital erosion, then talked about the importance of protecting workers' rights and looking forward to the future of Liyue.
This involves a question of stance.
Previously, the couple at Wangshu Inn did not share the same stance as Qin An. Even if they heard these things, they might have thought that Qin An was talking nonsense.
Now that they are in this position, they can't help but imagine what Qin An said.
As long as I think about it for a moment, I feel that this is the case! It seems very remarkable, and I fall into this quagmire of thinking.
Of course, the most important thing is that what Qin An did was not to abuse his power for personal gain. Even after they joined, Qin An did not ask them to do anything.
He just said that it was enough for everyone to remain united, and if any union comrade was treated unfairly, everyone should take collective action.
Qin An chatted with the couple until the evening.
Originally he wanted to return to Liyue Harbor, but the two were too enthusiastic, and as a like-minded comrade, Qin An was forced to talk about a lot more things.
As it was a couple's dinner, they even took out their wine collection.
Here we have to mention Qin An's drinking capacity.
He can't say that he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but at least he will pass out as soon as he touches the alcohol. Qin An didn't want to drink at first, but the wine in Philgodette's collection is quite special.
The taste is not strong, but the alcohol content is very high!
Qin An took a sip and thought, is that it?
The wine isn’t that bad to drink, and then… I fell down before I could even take the second sip.
This surprised Huaian and Philgodette very much.
"Qin An...are you drunk?"
Filgodette looked at her husband.
Huai'an touched his head. It turned out that Qin An was not being modest when he said that he couldn't drink much.
"...Send Qin An to the guest room first. I wanted to talk to him more."
Huai'an was also a little emotional when he said this: "Lord Ningguang is still so insightful. Qin An's talent is higher than I thought."
Phil Gedette also nodded.
-
Liyue Harbor.
Keqing had been in charge of the General Affairs Department. After Ningguang finished her work, she came over to inquire about the progress.
There is definitely something fishy about the Abyss Mage, and it also involves mutated slimes.
If these things are a conspiracy against Liyue, we must be on guard.
"Has he not confessed yet?"
Seeing Keqing thinking seriously, Ningguang asked.
Keqing shook her head slightly, her long purple hair swaying in the wind. "No, Jabu didn't dare to hide it from the beginning, but the information he knew was very limited. If you count strictly, it only involves smuggling."
“There is absolutely no trace of the identity of the person he was working with.”
"Did the intelligence department search?"
“I went, but it was totally fruitless.”
Ningguang held her chin with one hand and thought about what had happened recently. "No matter what, we must be prepared. The ceremony of inviting the immortals will begin soon. We must not make any mistakes at this time."
After finishing talking about work, Ningguang did not leave but continued to ask: "Keqing, did you talk to me this morning about something? I heard from Baiwen that you left straight away."
"Although I was entertaining guests at the time, the matter involved was also related to Liyue. I was planning to ask for your opinion."
When Keqing heard Ningguang say this, she felt a little embarrassed and the serious expression on her face disappeared.
But he couldn't say that he and Qin An were old acquaintances, right? He was afraid that the other party would know his true identity.
After all, that kind of thing happened last night...
I had no choice but to explain, "I suddenly remembered that I hadn't finished dealing with the dock issues yet. I was afraid that something might happen if I delayed, so I thought I'd finish it first and then come to you... It just so happened that you came over. I wanted to talk to you about the land planning of Liyue Harbor."
If Ningguang doesn't come, Keqing also plans to take the initiative to find Ningguang.
"I have some ideas about the planning issue we talked about last time. Please listen to them..."
After the two of them had a serious discussion, Ningguang felt that Keqing's idea was very feasible.
Come to think of it, if Keqing wasn't sure, given her personality, she wouldn't have come to her to discuss it.
"correct."
Ningguang suddenly remembered something: "This morning I discussed a cooperation with a very interesting person."
A very interesting person...is it Qin An?
When Keqing heard Ningguang's words, she knew who she was talking about, and she felt a little proud.
She always thought that Qin An was very capable, and sure enough, even Ningguang recognized Qin An's abilities, hehe.
Keqing couldn't explain why she felt so happy.
"It's about the dock workers. Keqing, the job you're in charge of could just help him out. How about you join in?"
Ningguang felt that Keqing's work ability would naturally not be a problem for her to cooperate with Qin An. Maybe they could even expand the scope of cooperation, which was a good thing.
As a result, Keqing quickly shook her head when she heard this.
"No."
"Ok?"
I was also confused to see Keqing reject Ningguang so decisively. Generally speaking, wouldn't Keqing accept anything related to work?
