Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Chapter 219: Blatant Slacking

Without the slightest hesitation, Xin Yang nodded in agreement, "Of course it's convenient. We are friends, and friends should accompany each other. Going to the temple fair together will definitely be more fun."

"Keqing, we are all very happy that you can join us." Linghua also smiled and nodded to welcome him.

A hint of joy flashed in Keqing's eyes. She smoothed her hair gently and said, "Thank you very much. I'm very happy to have friends like you."

"What about Senior Sister?" Linghua looked at Ganyu beside her. "Is Senior Sister still busy with work the day after tomorrow?"

Gan Yu shook her head. "I don't know either. Although Yue Hai Ting doesn't have a lot of work piled up right now, I'm not sure if I can finish the work the night after tomorrow. But if I finish all the work for the next day the night before, I'll definitely have time."

As soon as these words came out, Xianyun was the first to stand up. "No, Ganyu, you promised me that you wouldn't stay up late again. Don't you even listen to me now?"

Gan Yu quickly waved her hands, a trace of guilt on her face, and said, "Master, you misunderstood. I didn't disobey you. I just said it casually. I definitely won't stay up late to work. Please don't be angry."

Ah Ping and Gui Zhong, who were standing by, also stood up and pulled Xianyun to their side. "Ganyu has always been very obedient. She just said that in the heat of the moment, without thinking, right, Ganyu?"

Gan Yu nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Ah Ping and Gui Zhong are right. I just said it without thinking it through. I have always remembered your instructions in my heart and will definitely not stay up late. Don't be angry."

Xianyun's expression eased slightly, and he sighed softly, "Alas, I am also worried about your health. Even if you have the blood of an immortal beast, you still have to take care of your body. But then again, is Yue Haiting's work really that busy? Keqing even has time to go to the temple fair, but you..."

Keqing explained, "Miss Xianyun, you misunderstood. Ganyu and I have different jobs. The more major events we encounter, the easier my job becomes. Ganyu, on the other hand, is different. She's mostly responsible for matters that require continuous follow-up and detailed organization, and it's difficult to handle them all at once. However, I remember that Ningguang would send more staff to Yuehaiting during the holidays, with the goal of giving Yuehaiting's secretaries some time to relax, but Ganyu always seemed to refuse."

Ganyu lowered her head slightly after hearing Keqing's words, and said helplessly, "I didn't mean to refuse. It's just that I'm most familiar with those matters, and I really don't trust others with them. Also, during the holidays, many work details cannot go wrong, and I'm worried that others won't be able to handle it."

Xianyun gently patted Ganyu's shoulder and said earnestly, "Ganyu, you're just worrying too much. Ningguang has arranged for help, so it must have been a thoughtful decision. You should learn to let go appropriately. How can your body handle taking on all the responsibility like this?"

Ganyu looked up at everyone, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but she still shook her head gently: "I appreciate everyone's concern, but I really can't just hand the work over to others and go have fun. I still have to abide by the contract with the Emperor."

When Ganyu finished speaking, everyone in the room, aside from Ganyu herself and Keqing, simultaneously turned their gazes towards Zhongli. Xianyun, in particular, had a murderous look in his eyes.

Zhongli, however, remained calm, his hand gently stroking the teacup in his hand. He spoke slowly, "Ganyu's willingness to uphold the contract is certainly valuable, but it doesn't mean you have to shoulder all the responsibility without regard for yourself. Morax established these contracts in the hope that Liyue could operate in an orderly manner, with everyone fulfilling their responsibilities while also maintaining a balance between work and relaxation."

Xianyun took over, "Ganyu, the Emperor certainly wouldn't want to see you exhausting yourself over work. Ningguang arranged for help so that everyone could have a good balance between work and rest, which is also in line with the contract. It's been so long since we've spoken together. Just think of it as going out with me tomorrow night, okay?"

Ganyu bit her lip and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to everyone and try to put down some work and go to the temple fair with everyone."

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Keqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xianyun. I'll keep an eye on Ganyu for you. To be honest, I'm living with Ganyu now. After I go back today, I'll let her rest quickly and not let her stay up late. After work the night after tomorrow, I'll bring her to Bailu Shuanghua to join you."

Xianyun smiled with relief after hearing this and said, "Since you two are living together, it will be hard work for you, Keqing. I can rest assured knowing you can help take care of things. Ganyu, you have to listen to Keqing and get some rest. Don't throw yourself into work all the time."

Gan Yu nodded obediently: "Master, I understand. I will. This time I will definitely not let you and everyone else worry about me. I am also looking forward to going to the temple fair with everyone."

"Okay, it's getting late, we are about to close, you should go back and rest." Xianyun stood up to see the guests off.

Everyone stood up, said goodbye to each other, and dispersed. Ganyu and Keqing walked home together, the moonlight shining on them, casting long shadows.

During the preparations for the next day, Nana Kano led the store staff to give their all.

Every step, from the raw materials for making milk tea, the decoration and layout of the store, to the rehearsal of the reception process, is personally handled by Nana Shikano, striving for perfection.

As Xin Yang had said before that he would try not to participate in this collaboration, he just sat there quietly watching, blatantly slacking off, and occasionally making a mental note of some small details that could be improved, but he didn't interfere too much.

The day passed quickly.

The air in Bailu Shuanghua was filled with the rich aroma of milk tea. The guys were all in high spirits and stood neatly at their respective posts.

Ningguang arrived on time with the foreign merchants. Nana Shikano calmly greeted them and began to introduce Bailu Shuanghua's special milk tea in a passionate and professional manner.

Nana Kano explained in detail the unique recipe, taste characteristics and cultural elements behind each type of milk tea. The foreign businessmen listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time. Nana Kano answered them quickly and accurately, demonstrating her solid professional qualities.

During the communication with businessmen, a foreign businessman expressed great interest in the possibility of integrating milk tea with local traditional drinks and put forward some ideas for cooperation.

Nana Shikano was slightly taken aback. This was a topic they hadn't discussed in depth before, but she quickly calmed down and organized her words to respond, "This is a very interesting and promising direction. We at Bailu Shuanghua have always been committed to innovation and integration. We can start by experimenting with flavor pairings, such as incorporating local fruits or spices to create a new beverage line, and then further optimize based on market feedback."

As expected, Nana Shikano's words were recognized by all the businessmen present and Ningguang.

The businessman smiled and nodded, saying, "Your idea is very good, Ms. Shikano. Such innovation may open up a vast market for milk tea in our country. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Nana Shikano's face was filled with joy, and she quickly responded, "Thank you for your recognition. I'm also looking forward to collaborating with you all. I believe that by working together, we will be able to create a drink that will be loved by everyone."

Ningguang also smiled and said, "Today's communication was very smooth. Miss Luye was well prepared and handled the situation appropriately. This has shown everyone Bai Lu Shuanghua's sincerity and strength. I believe that our future cooperation will also be very smooth."

Other businessmen also echoed the sentiment, and the atmosphere on the scene became more harmonious and enthusiastic. Everyone continued to discuss the specific matters of cooperation, such as product pricing, packaging style, and promotion channels, and exchanged many ideas.

As the cooperation and exchanges progressed smoothly, the sky gradually darkened.

The employee assigned by Ningguang arrived at the store on time and took over Bai Lu Shuanghua's work.
