Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After saying goodbye to Leosli, Chang Ming returned to Momang Palace at an extremely fast speed.

This is not only because he still has a small number of documents to review, but also because... he needs a quiet space to think about future deployments.

After all, popularity is not infinite. As the plot progresses bit by bit, the urgency to improve strength becomes stronger and stronger.

To give an inappropriate example, before the plot officially begins, it seems like there is a puppy behind Chang Ming, howling and wanting to bite him.

There is a threat, but not much, and it can even be said that it is completely negligible.

However...after the fight with Tartaglia, the little puppy behind him turned into a three-headed evil dog guarding the gate of hell overnight, the kind that could tear him to pieces at any time.

After all, the Sky-Swallowing Whale's strength is there, and it's impossible to deal with this guy without some skills.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming sighed slightly and murmured softly:

"Forget it... Let's finish the paperwork first before considering this matter..."

"You can't do two things at once, or you might end up making a decision that's going to cause you a headache."

So Chang Ming picked up his feather pen and started his work.

......

As time passed, the sun that was originally hanging directly above the window also tilted little by little. It was not until dusk that Chang Ming put down the pen in his hand.

"Huh... I'm finally done with the grading..."

Chang Ming let out a long sigh, then he took the little Sanhua that was curled up in the corner of the table and quietly accompanied him into his arms and began to stroke it gently.

For a professional office worker like Chang Ming, a docile little kitten is priceless.

It not only accompanies Chang Ming, but also helps him alleviate this problem when he is a little anxious and his thinking is sluggish, greatly improving his work efficiency.

Just when Chang Ming finished his work for the day and started to play with his cat peacefully...a strand of white hair suddenly popped out from the gap in his office door.

Perhaps because the white hair was so different in color from the office door, Chang Ming immediately noticed the curious Fu Nina.

Looking at the shaking aho-hair and the little head looking around, Chang Ming was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Funina? What happened?"

Hearing Chang Ming's voice, Funina visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then pushed open the door and placed a luxurious gold-stamped envelope on the table.

"Just now when I returned to Momang Palace, a Meilushin handed me this letter, saying it was sent from Liyue, and wanted to ask what you think of it."

Chang Ming picked up the letter after hearing this. Looking at the familiar wax and the exquisite and luxurious envelope, Chang Ming thought of someone.

——「Tianquan Star」Ningguang.

Chang Ming picked up the paper cutter beside him, opened the letter with ease, and then began to carefully read the words on the luxurious letter paper.

During this time, Funina looked up and down at Chang Ming's clothes.

It seemed that he noticed the Eye of God that was out of tune with the overall color tone, and then he fell into deep thought.

"Maybe... it's time to get Chang Ming a new set of clothes?"

Furninna thought so in her heart.

She knew very well that although the diplomatic counterparts that Fontaine faced rarely brought up Chang Ming's clothes as an issue.

But “few” does not mean “none”.

There are always some people in the world who like to cause trouble for others over trivial matters, such as the so-called "sages" in the Sumeru Teachings Institute.

The last time they came to Fontaine, they had a big argument over the clothes Chang Mingjian and the others were wearing.

According to their logic, since Chang Ming was wearing daily clothes rather than diplomatic clothes, this could not reflect Fontaine's respect for them.

For this reason, they refused to cooperate and declared that Fontaine was a country with a rather low diplomatic level.

But...the fundamental reason was that the diplomatic cooperation was not reached. Chang Ming rejected their so-called "cooperation" that was just taking advantage without contributing, and then they started to curse.

Thinking of this, Funina shrugged slightly, seeming a little helpless about it.

Although Chang Ming said at the time... he didn't want to bother with the old man whose half body was buried in the earth, he still did it in the end.

For example...the price of mechanical parts provided to the Xumi Ordinance Institute has increased by 20%, and the labor dispatch fees of Fontaine mechanics have increased by 50%.

......

About five minutes later, Chang Ming read the letter three or four times, making sure that he had not missed any information before he slowly spoke:

"The Seven Stars General Secretary of Liyue's Yuehai Pavilion will bring people to Fontaine in a few days. This letter is a personal correspondence from the Tianquan Star, saying that he wants to sign a big contract with us."

Hearing this, Funina blinked slightly and asked with some doubt:

"Liyue's envoys? A large group? Didn't they come here three years ago?"

"Yes, the contract for ore procurement and machinery introduction signed three years ago has expired. In addition, Liyue announced a transition from "divine rule" to "human rule" a few years ago, so it is normal for the contract to be slightly changed."

Upon hearing this, Funina nodded slightly, then she held the kitten beside her in her arms, stroking the little cat while asking:

"It seems... this partner is very satisfied with us?"

"It should be. After all, compared to Xumi's Teachings and Orders Institute, we are more like a responsible partner."

Chang Ming shrugged and said as a matter of course.

After all, in his eyes...both himself and Funina were much kinder than those old guys in the Ordinance House who only wanted to take advantage and save money.

"But... speaking of which, Chang Ming, shouldn't you change your clothes?"

Funina asked suddenly while holding the kitten.

Before Chang Ming could reply, Funina cutely counted on her fingers and told Chang Ming why he should change his clothes.

"Didn't those people from the Xumi Teachings Institute attack you because of this? Let them see who is worthy of respect and who is not worthy of respect?"

"Another thing is that the main reason why I made you a set of clothes of the same style as Villette was that Mo Mang Palace couldn't afford to customize it at that time."

After that, Funina slowly sat down on a chair and spoke slowly as if recalling the past:

"At that time, Fontaine was in ruins. Without your support... Fontaine might not be as prosperous as it is today, and they would not be as happy as they are today."

"Plus...isn't your birthday coming up soon?"
