Chapter 677 Dealing with Navia
Navia heard someone calling her name, turned around, and saw Shao Yun suddenly appear.
She showed a pleasant surprise on her face and asked, "Hello, Mr. Shao Yun, what can I do for you?"
Shao Yun walked up to Navia and didn’t say yes first, but teased: “There’s no special reason, I just came by to take a look and see if you are waving a whip to supervise people’s work today?”
Navia couldn't help feeling helpless when she heard what Shao Yun said.
She put her hands on her hips, a helpless expression on her face, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
After a while, she slowly said, "Wow, Mr. Shao Yun, you really know how to joke!"
"You make it sound as if I have become one of those old nobles of Fontaine, who spend their days abusing others to work."
Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly smiled and said, "Haha, don't be angry, I was just joking and showing my sense of humor."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Navia no longer bothered about Shao Yun's joke. She put away the small flag in her hand, pointed to the construction site, and introduced it enthusiastically:
"Actually, I was mainly there to encourage and cheer everyone on. I wanted to help out myself, but later I realized that cheering and encouraging everyone was more suitable for me."
After all, leave professional matters to professionals and just take care of the logistics yourself!
Shao Yun looked in the direction of Navia's finger and saw workers pouring concrete for the dam in full swing.
"Well, it's really good! The construction site is progressing really fast. I feel like the dam will be completed in less than a week."
Navia smiled and nodded, agreeing with Shao Yun's evaluation.
Then, she added, "Almost. However, it is far from enough to deal with the predicted crisis. In my plan, the dam is only to deal with the large amount of seawater pouring into Baisong Town when it rains heavily."
"If the prophecy really happens, it will be useless even if I build a dam 100 meters high. So I used most of the donation to build infrastructure in Baisong Town."
After listening to Navia's comments on the Baisong Dam, Shao Yun asked, "Wow, so the dam only serves to delay time?"
Navia smiled and nodded, explaining: "Well, that's about right. The dam is just an emergency measure. The important thing in the end is..."
She changed the subject and suddenly pointed her finger at the water's edge, then said, "Mr. Shao Yun, look at the water's edge."
Shao Yun was a little confused, but still looked in the direction of Navia's finger.
His eyes fell on the calm sea, and he saw nothing special except a solitary buoy swaying gently on the sea.
"What? I only saw a buoy?"
Navia had anticipated Shao Yun's reaction. She smiled and said, "Yes, that's the key item I want to introduce to you."
Shao Yun became even more curious and asked, "Why did you buy a buoy?"
Navia explained patiently: "This is not an ordinary buoy, it is the most advanced hydrological monitoring device. It can detect hydrological fluctuations very sensitively."
"Once an abnormality is detected, the alarm device in Baisong Town will immediately sound an alarm, serving as an early warning."
"There are two in total, one is placed on this side of the dam, and the other is placed in the lake in Baisong Town."
"Once the water fluctuation exceeds the warning value, an alarm will be sounded, and then the residents of Baisong Town will immediately evacuate under the arrangement of the Thorn Rose Society and board the emergency lifeboat."
"This is the solution that Uncle Miles and I came up with to deal with the prophecy crisis. As it happens, the base of the Fatui is just south of the Thorn Rose Society, so we spent some money to buy the necessary things."
When Shao Yun heard that Navia had added a lot of things, he secretly worried about her wallet.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Were these things originally included in the budget, or did you add them extra?"
Navia obviously didn't expect Shao Yun to suddenly care about her wallet problem. She was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"Huh? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Shao Yun originally wanted to remind Navia to pay attention to the budget, but he swallowed the words back.
He thought to himself, after all, this was Navia's own business, what did it have to do with him?
So he quickly changed the subject and talked about the real purpose of his visit to Navia.
"It's just... uh, forget it, this is not my place to ask. Actually, I came to you today because I have good news to tell you."
Shao Yun deliberately kept the secret in suspense, which aroused Navia's curiosity.
Sure enough, when Navia heard the word "good news", her eyes lit up immediately, and she asked eagerly: "Oh? Good news? What is it? Tell me quickly!"
Shao Yun smiled slightly, and according to the plan he had prepared in advance, he slowly said: "Do you still remember the mysterious donor that Mr. Miles mentioned yesterday?"
As soon as she heard the word "mysterious donor", Navia's mind immediately emerged with the scene of yesterday, and she couldn't help but start to ponder it secretly in her heart.
Did he make another donation to himself? Or did he find the person? Which of these two is a good thing?
"Mr. Shao Yun, what do you mean?"
Shao Yun said mysteriously, "I saw you were so eager to thank that kind person yesterday, so I used my personal network to conduct an in-depth investigation."
Navia was delighted when she heard this, she immediately understood that Shao Yun had found clues about the donor!
"You are worthy of being my best partner!" Navia said excitedly, "Then tell me quickly, who donated the money? Where is that kind person now? I really want to visit him immediately and express my gratitude in person!"
Looking at Navia who was anxious, Shao Yun quickly stretched out his hand to signal her to be patient, and then explained: "Don't worry, things are not that simple yet."
"I have only got some relevant information and have narrowed down the scope, but I haven't found the person for sure yet."
After hearing this, Navia continued to maintain her high enthusiasm and asked: "Oh, so that's okay! Can you tell me what you know?"
Shao Yun smiled slightly, and according to the plan he had prepared in advance, began to vaguely describe the appearance of the kind-hearted man.
"According to eyewitnesses, the mysterious person who donated to your Rose Thorn Society that day was a girl, and she spoke with a Mond accent... It can be basically confirmed that she is from Mond."
"So, Mond, female, and last name Lawrence should also be true, so this range has been determined."
When Navia heard that Shao Yun had actually confirmed all the key information about the donor, including nationality, gender, and surname, the joy in her heart was simply indescribable.
She was so excited that she wanted to rush over and hug Shao Yun tightly to express her gratitude to him.
"Is this true? Partner, you are so awesome! I really want to recruit you into our Thorn Rose Club!" Navia said excitedly.
However, at the last moment, she resisted the urge to hug Shao Yun.
After all, Shao Yun has a wife and children, and she doesn't want to do anything inappropriate behind Ying's back.
"Thank you, Shao Yun! I will tell Silver right away and ask him to start an investigation immediately based on the information you provided!" Navia said gratefully.
Shao Yun looked at Navia's excitement, smiled slightly, and then said: "Maybe in two days, I can bring people directly to Baisong Town. So, you should focus all your energy on the affairs of Baisong Town."
Navia was overjoyed when she heard this. She was originally worried about how to find donors due to the shortage of manpower, but she didn't expect Shao Yun to take the initiative to take on this task. This is really a timely help!
"That's great, partner! Thank you so much! It just so happens that our Thorn Rose Club is seriously short of manpower recently. I feel much more at ease with your help."
"Once we find them, I will definitely treat you, Ying and Paimon to a sumptuous meal together!" Navia said happily.
Seeing Navia follow her plan, Shao Yun smiled with satisfaction.
"Oh, okay, wait for my good news!"
Navia nodded heavily.
"Uh-huh!"
……
Time passed by like a flash, night fell quietly, and there was silence in Funina's room in Momang Palace.
After two long days and one night, Funina finally woke up from her deep sleep.
She slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually became clear, and her gaze fell on the dim light outside the window.
Having just woken up, Finina's mind was still a little confused, and she mistakenly thought it was already early morning, so she let out a loud "Dragon Roar" as usual, and stretched her limbs to her heart's content on the bed.
"Ah... I'm so hungry... Eat, eat!" Funina muttered as she jumped up from the bed quickly.
However, when Funina looked closely, she found that Shao Yun, who was sitting on the sofa, was looking at her with a smile.
Seeing how energetic Fu Ningna was after waking up, Shao Yun couldn't help but tease her, "You are finally awake. If you continue to sleep like this, I will go to Liyue to ask professionals to send you off."
Because Funina had slept for such a long time and the effect of the sleeping pills had worn off, she was now full of energy and looked radiant.
After hearing Shao Yun's words, she was not angry at all. Instead, she responded with a smile: "Oh, Shao Yun, you got up early today!"
However, before she finished her words, Fu Nina suddenly looked Shao Yun up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. The smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of dissatisfaction.
She grumbled, "But why are you sitting in my room so early in the morning? It's not nice to sneak into my room!"
When Shao Yun heard Funina say the words "early in the morning", he almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
He tried to suppress his smile and said, "It's still early in the morning, you must have fallen asleep, it's already evening now!"
When Funina heard Shao Yun's words, she looked at him with suspicion.
"What? Isn't it morning?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun walked to the window without saying a word, opened the curtains with a "rustle", and pointed outside the window and said: "Look for yourself, unless the sun rises from the west, how can it be morning?"
Seeing this, Funina rushed to the window and stared at the sky outside with wide eyes. When she saw the blood-red sunset, she finally believed what Shao Yun said.
"It's really evening? Ah!"
Shao Yun looked at Fu Ningna's surprised expression and couldn't help but teasing her, "You slept so soundly that Violet thought you were dead. But when he entered the room, he heard your snoring so loud that it was deafening!"
When Funina heard Shao Yun say that she snored, she was even more panicked than when she found out that she slept until the evening. After all, for a girl, snoring is really detrimental to her ladylike image!
She looked at Shao Yun in disbelief and stammered, "No way, no way! Do I really snore when I sleep?"
Shao Yun looked at Fu Ningna's panic and found it a little funny. He shrugged, stopped joking, and explained:
"Haha, I was just kidding. I just wanted to tease you. I just checked your breath and found that you were still breathing. I didn't hear you snoring."
"Then, seeing that you hadn't woken up, Clorinde and I decided to take a day off. It seems that taking a day off was the right choice."
Funina felt extremely confused at the moment. She really couldn't understand why she slept for so long.
"No way, how could I sleep so long? I didn't do anything yesterday!" she muttered to herself.
Shao Yun, who was standing by, naturally knew the reason, but he certainly couldn't tell Funina that it was because he and Clorinde had given her sleeping pills.
So he just made up a lie.
"You ask me, how should I know?"
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Funina felt even more melancholy.
"It's over, it's over. Now I'm going to become a night owl. No, I have to eat something quickly and then go back to sleep!" She said as she hurriedly went to find something to eat.
Seeing this, Shao Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He decided to play hard to get and deliberately said, "Okay, then you go to sleep, I'm leaving first."
After saying this, he pretended to leave.
However, the moment Shao Yun turned around, Funina's "fear" valve was instantly triggered.
Like a frightened rabbit, she quickly ran to Shao Yun, blocked his way, and said anxiously: "Wait a minute, where are you going? I want to go with you too! Just wait until I finish my meal!"
Shao Yun was secretly delighted. He didn't expect that Funina would take the bait so easily.
He suppressed his smile and said calmly, "If you... want to come, it's fine. Maybe it can be useful."
When Furninna heard the words that she should be of use, she felt as if she was being plotted against.
"What do you mean you should use me?"
