Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing this, Chang Ming was slightly stunned, as if he had not expected Alechino to ask such a question.

His conjecture about Arlecchino was a kind of... behavioral speculation based on diplomatic logic.

In Chang Ming's opinion, the private meeting was about the orphanage matter, and the public meeting... was about the Heart of God.

Chang Ming's attitude towards the matter of the Heart of God was simple: You go talk to Villette, don't talk to me, I am not responsible for this.

The reason is simple—the Heart of God is not in his hands!

He wanted to make the "rich" bleed again, he wanted to make the fools pay a price, but how could he play since he had no cards in his hand?

Although if he was making the Fatui bleed heavily for the benefit of Fontaine, then Villet probably wouldn't say much about it, but this kind of behavior of acting first and then reporting later was fundamentally... somewhat disrespectful to him.

Chang Ming is not the type who can ignore everyone's feelings for the sake of profit, so... he needs to kick the ball to Villette first.

If Villette could understand what he meant by doing this... he would probably kick the ball back and ask Chang Ming to step in again by saying that diplomatic affairs were not under his management.

In this way...Chang Ming can not only humiliate the fools who think they are so invincible, but also make a huge profit from them.

But as for the matter of fairies...Chang Ming didn't know what Alecino was up to.

Thinking of this, he raised his head slightly, narrowed his sea-blue eyes, and stared closely at Alechino in front of him. After a while, he asked:

"What on earth are you planning?"

Looking at the vigilant Chang Ming in front of him, Alechino smiled lightly, then replied quite seriously:

"Mr. Chang Ming, I have no plans. I am just telling you this on behalf of the "girl". As for what is behind this..."

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait until you see the girl in person and have a little chat with her before you can know the true outcome."

Having said that, Alechino paused for a moment and then changed the subject.

"This is the first thing I want to talk to you about in a private capacity. The second thing is about the orphans in Hearth House."

Hearing this, Chang Ming raised his head slightly, took a deep look at Alechino in front of him, and then said:

"Although from an emotional point of view, I don't really like what the children of Hearth House did during this prophecy storm. After all, they really hurt Funina."

"But if you analyze it from the perspective of information logic, what they are doing is indeed for the benefit of the people of Fontaine, so... I will still keep my previous promise."

"But compared to before, I have an extra condition."

Hearing this, Alechino nodded without any surprise.

In her opinion, what Chang Ming needs to fight for is nothing more than more benefits, whether it is to increase the tax revenue of the Northern Bank, or to ask the Fatui to make diplomatic concessions... these things are understandable.

After all, her goal is to obtain the Heart of God and then hand it over to the Ice Queen Barnabas. The rest... has nothing to do with her.

Alechino knew very well that if she did not agree to this temporarily added condition... let alone her personal thoughts, even obtaining the Heart of God would become difficult and even cost more.

"I'd like to hear more about it, Mr. Chang Ming."

"I hope to see Linny and the others' attitude, provided that neither you nor I interfere excessively in this matter."

"As I just said, Linny and his team have good intentions. From the perspective of their information...what they are doing is right.

But now that the veil behind the prophecy has been lifted, the information gap no longer exists, and they should also realize what they have done.

Since you have done these things, you must be prepared to accept the corresponding price and consequences, don't you think so, Ms. Alecino?"

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Alechino was a little stunned for a moment.

She was originally prepared to accept the 5% tax increase of Northland Bank in Fontaine, but... Chang Ming gave her a moral problem?

"What on earth is he thinking..."

Alechino couldn't help but ask in her heart.

The pair of eyes with blood-red marks took a deep look at Chang Ming who was calm and composed in front of him, as if trying to see through him in this way.

But... unfortunately, from Alechino's perspective, Chang Ming seemed to be shrouded in a veil and could not be seen clearly at all.

"Never mind... from a profit perspective... there's not much loss, and based on the personalities of those kids... they would do something even if I didn't say anything."

Thinking of this, Alecino nodded and continued:

"I agree to your additional condition, and I promise not to get too involved in this matter because I believe in my children."

After hearing Alechino's statement, Chang Ming nodded without any surprise, and then added as if he suddenly remembered something:

"Ms. Alechino, I hope you can clear the memories of the children sent here. This will be beneficial to the information security of both Fontaine and the Fatui."

"Mr. Chang Ming, you don't need to worry about this. I will naturally handle these matters properly."

After that, Alechino stood up and said:

"If Mr. Chang Ming has no other questions or diplomatic matters that he wants to discuss... then I will leave first.

The predicted disaster has had a significant impact on Northland Bank, and there are still some things I need to deal with personally."

In response, Chang Ming just nodded slightly, then picked up the teacup in front of him and said softly:

"Please ask Madam Servant to inform me after the children of Hearth House are settled, so that I can make corresponding preparations."

"That's natural."

Alechino nodded slightly and then left Momang Palace.

Chang Ming took a sip of tea, supported his chin with both hands and fell into deep thought.

"The third Faint of Faints, 'Girl' Columbia, who is also a fairy, why did she ask to see me at this time?"

"Do you really want to lure me into the Fatui? Or..."

"She wants to use the fact that we are of the same race to put me on the front line against the law of nature?"

Thinking of this, Chang Ming lowered his head slightly and fell into thought.
