Chapter 11 Feiyun Chamber of Commerce 2 Young Master
"Excuse me sir, you need to make a reservation in advance to dine at Liuli Pavilion."
Liu Bai brought Nashida to Feiyunpo, where there was a luxurious restaurant that had left a deep impression on him when he first arrived in Liyue. However, the service staff at the door told him that he needed to make an appointment in advance.
"Do you still need to make an appointment? Then I'll go to Xinyuexuan next door to have a look..."
Liu Bai scratched his head. Even in the winter, he had never been to a high-end restaurant, so he didn't quite understand things like making reservations.
"Sir, Xinyuexuan also requires an appointment."
Seeing that Liu Bai didn't understand anything, the waiter at the door kindly reminded him.
"That's it..."
Liu Bai muttered something and had to pull Nashida's hand and leave.
He had never tried making an appointment in advance, so he was thinking about finding a time to make one.
"Sir? What a coincidence! Are you coming to dine too?"
Just as Liu Bai was thinking about it, he met Andre, the manager of Northland Bank, who came up to him and asked him excitedly.
"I've met my lord."
Behind Andre, two Fire Debt Collectors pretending to be employees of the Northland Bank saluted Liu Bai.
"Yeah, it's a pity that I just arrived in Liyue and didn't make an appointment in advance."
Liu Bai nodded.
"Haha, to be honest, I have already made an appointment to meet with an important client. If you don't mind, please follow me in. You can also support me."
Andre rubbed his hands and proposed to Liu Bai with some excitement.
If he had an executive to back him up, he believed he would be more confident when facing this client.
"Well... what do you think, girl?"
Liu Bai thought for a moment. As he had always been a loner among the Fatui, he felt a little conflicted, so he had to look at Nashida beside him.
"Aren't you eager to try some licai? And isn't this part of the job of an executive officer?"
Nashida answered with a smile.
"That makes sense... Let's go, right Andre."
Liu Bai quickly agreed with Nashida's words and turned to speak to Andre.
"Yes, sir, please!"
Andre responded quickly, but glanced at Nashida with confusion.
Who is this girl? The executive officer seems to listen to her...
Under Andre's leadership, Liu Bai and Nashida successfully entered the Glazed Pavilion.
"Sir, the client I'm going to meet today is from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Northland Bank is trying to establish a cooperative relationship with Feiyun Chamber of Commerce..."
Following the waiter of Liuliting to the reserved box, Andre whispered something to Liu Bai on the way.
"Um"
Liu Bai responded casually without caring about it. He didn't understand business negotiations at all. He just needed to be responsible for eating!
An executive like him who usually lives in a rented house doesn't have to worry about bringing shame to the Fatui.
Outside the box were two guards from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. When they saw Andre coming, they gently knocked on the door and then respectfully stepped aside.
"Please come in."
After a young man's voice was heard from the box, Andre pushed open the door and walked in with Liu Bai and the others, while the two debt collectors stayed outside.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the person who came to the appointment today was the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. I have heard that Master Xingqiu is gentle and handsome, and today I see that his reputation is well-deserved."
Recognizing the boy with short blue hair in the box, Andre walked up to him enthusiastically and praised him.
After being in Liyue for so long, he has learned a lot of Liyue's words, but it is hard to say whether he can use them well.
"Haha, thank you so much, Manager Andre, please come in... I wonder who these two are?"
Xingqiu came over to greet them, and looked at Liu Bai and Nashida curiously.
Since the door opened, the account manager of Northland Bank has been standing behind the young man, obviously giving priority to him.
"Ahem, this is the ambassador of our Kingdom of Winter, the twelfth executive officer of the Fatui, the Lord of the Pretentious."
"The other one is the executive officer's sister."
Andre coughed lightly and introduced Liu Bai and Nashida to Xingqiu, but he didn't know Nashida's name.
As for Liu Bai's code name, when Liu Bai left Northland Bank earlier, he immediately contacted his superiors to confirm his identity.
"The Fatui Executor...?"
"I finally helped my family, but you didn't tell me that the executor was here..."
Xingqiu looked at Liu Bai with slight surprise.
Although the diplomatic relations between Liyue and Zhidong are good at this time, the title of Fatui Executor still makes people vigilant. They are a group of people who will do anything to achieve their goals.
"Hello, beautiful lady."
Noticing Xingqiu's gaze, Liu Bai looked him up and down, then placed one hand on his chest and greeted him politely.
"..."
"Ahem, sir, he is the young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, a man..."
Xingqiu was stunned for a moment. Andre, who was standing beside him, coughed lightly and quickly reminded Liu Bai in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter. Gender has never been a shackle for me to know someone."
Liu Bai said indifferently.
"Ahem, anyway, Master Wangzhe just arrived in Liyue today and didn't have time to make a reservation at Liuli Pavilion. But it would be a bit disrespectful for someone of your noble status not to dine at the top restaurant like Liuli Pavilion."
"So I invite you to come to the banquet together. I hope Master Xingqiu doesn't mind."
Andre coughed awkwardly, then tried to explain it in detail to Xingqiu, trying to skip this topic.
Today's negotiations are beneficial to both parties, so no one wants to act superior.
"That's fine, Mr. Executive Officer and Manager Andre, please take a seat."
Xingqiu shook his head, then waved a hand towards the table in the box, inviting Liu Bai and the others.
"You can call me by my Liyue name, Liu Bai."
Liu Bai nodded slightly and explained to Xingqiu while walking towards the dining table.
"Okay Mr. Liu Bai, judging by your appearance, you probably haven't been to Liyue for a long time. The dishes I ordered are all authentic Liyue dishes from Liuliting, and I think you will like them."
Xingqiu nodded in response. He could tell that Liu Bai was not from Zhidong, but had a Liyue face.
"Really? That's really exciting. Just talk about yourselves later and don't worry about me and my girl."
Liu Bai pulled Nashida to sit down at the seat prepared by Xingqiu and explained something in advance.
Not to mention that he was not interested in working for Northland Bank, even if he helped to facilitate the cooperation, Pantalone would not share the money earned with him.
So, Liu Bai taught Nashida how to use chopsticks while she started to devour the food after all the dishes were served.
As for Xingqiu and Andre, after they had almost finished their meal, they began to discuss cooperation.
The general situation is that Northland Bank hopes that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce can use Northland Bank, and Northland Bank is willing to pay more interest for this.
How much interest to pay and the subsequent cooperation between the two parties are things that need to be negotiated.
Because of the incident with the Chasm, Zhidong and Liyue are now in a honeymoon period. The Northland Bank has also taken advantage of this to develop rapidly in Liyue. The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is no longer so averse to the Northland Bank at this time.
"Girl, are you okay?"
"Yes, it's a bit spicy..."
Next to the two people who were negotiating, Liu Bai looked at Nashida with some concern, while the latter stuck out her slightly red tongue because of the spicy taste.
Spiciness is a sense of pain, and although Nashida is the current God of Grass, her body is actually quite delicate. Even if it has been enhanced, she cannot ignore the pain, so her ability to tolerate spicy food may still be within the range of ordinary humans.
"This executive officer... feels quite ordinary, and not as cold and dangerous as the rumors say..."
Xingqiu was a little confused as he observed Liu Bai who was caring about Nashida.
"Master Xingqiu?"
"Ah, ahem, sorry, I got a little distracted after eating."
Hearing Andre's call, Xingqiu quickly came to his senses.
The two continued to negotiate and finally successfully decided on cooperation and signed a contract.
As neither party violated the contract, both parties seemed very satisfied with the cooperation, although Liu Bai didn't listen carefully and didn't know what the negotiation was about.
"Oh, right, Andre."
When saying goodbye to Xingqiu and leaving Liuli Pavilion together, Liu Bai suddenly thought of something and called out to Andre when he saw that there was no one around.
"What are your orders, sir?"
Andre put away the contract in his hand and asked Liu Bai respectfully.
"When you go back, help me investigate and find out if there is any way to meet the Rock God."
Liu Bai gave instructions to Andre.
He was confident that with his conceptual skills, he could easily take away the Heart of the Rock God, but he had to confirm the specific locations of the Rock God and the Heart of God first.
However, he knew too little about Liyue and had no idea about this, unless he used some extreme methods...
"Yes, please rest assured, sir. We will try to find out the answer as quickly as possible!"
Andre and the two debt collectors who followed him responded respectfully.
