Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

Time passed quietly, and half a year passed quickly. During this half year, Ningguang followed the owner of Mingxingzhai to invest in some businesses and made a little money. Ningguang gained a lot of knowledge and learned a lot of etiquette from Zhongli.

In appreciation of the fact that the owner of Mingxingzhai had helped her make money, she invited him to dinner and prepared a gift in return. The owner of Mingxingzhai was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

He immediately introduced his connections to Ningguang, and Ningguang was very grateful to the owner of Mingxingzhai.

The same thing happened to Zhongli, who also accepted the return gift.

Then Ningguang returned to her studies. Winter was coming, and the annual Sea Lantern Festival was slowly approaching.

Yang Ming had already prepared everything for the festival, and at this moment Gan Yu came to Yang Ming.

"Senior Sister Ganyu, why are you here? Is there something important?"

"Yes, indeed, the ship to Winter Solstice has been found."

"In the near future, a fleet from Zhidong will come to Liyue to purchase a large amount of food. Junior Brother, if you want to go to Zhidong, this is your only chance."

"Also, it's cold in winter, so you should prepare some extra clothes. This voyage may take a month, so if you get carsick, prepare some herbs early."

"Also, the situation in Zhidong is far more chaotic than that in Liyue. Although I don't know why you insist on going to Zhidong, remember to protect yourself there."

"In Winter Solstice, never come into contact with the Fatui. Be especially careful of the Fatui executive officers. They are all a bunch of lunatics, lunatics with no bottom line."

Looking at Ganyu's motherly instructions, Yang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still agreed to them one by one.

"Oh, by the way, that little girl, are you going to say goodbye to her?"

"Ningguang, there's no need for that. I don't know when I'll be able to come back, and saying goodbye will only cause sadness."

"Besides, can't Senior Sister Ganyu see her growth? She doesn't need me to take care of her too much. She can already support herself."

Upon hearing this, Ganyu said nothing and turned away. After Ganyu left, Yang Ming walked into the kitchen after a long absence. Ningguang had been cooking for the past six months.

Since we are leaving, let’s cook a meal.

Yang Ming cooked a few simple dishes, including stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, dry-pot pork slices, and corn and pork ribs soup.

Soon, Ningguang, who was tired after a day's work, returned home. She smelled the fragrance of the food and came to the dining table unconsciously. Yang Ming took out two more dishes from the kitchen and saw that Ningguang had returned.

"Are you back? Wash your hands and eat. Today I'll let you taste my cooking!"

Yang Ming said with a smile, Ningguang immediately washed her hands and sat at the dining table. Yang Ming picked up a piece of meat for her, and Ningguang put it into her mouth and tasted it carefully.

!!! It was delicious, especially delicious. Ningguang ate with relish. Yang Ming saw Ningguang eating so happily, so he started to eat too. They had a very pleasant meal.

After dinner, Yang Ming asked Ningguang to wash up and rest, while Yang Ming went to wash the dishes. Ningguang went to sleep after washing up.

The light in Yang Ming's room was still on, and Yang Ming wrote a letter. Yang Ming took out the box containing Mora from the Eye of God space. Mora here only had 300,000 yuan. He had given Ningguang 200,000 yuan as start-up capital, and the other 100,000 yuan was saved from his commissions over the years.

Even though it costs 20,000 or 30,000 Mora a day, the consumption is still very high. It is good to save 100,000.

Yang Ming put the letter into the box, and then put the box into the Eye of God space.

In the following days, Yang Ming began to follow Ningguang. Although Ningguang didn't know why Yang Ming suddenly wanted to watch her study, she didn't refuse, but looked forward to it instead.

Maybe he wanted to show his shining side to Yang Ming, so Yang Ming just smiled and said nothing.

"Shopkeeper Ningguang, how are the vegetables and fruits I asked you to prepare these days going?"

The person who spoke was a partner of Ningguang, who was mainly responsible for contacting foreign caravans. They were introduced by the owner of Mingxingzhai, and this was their first cooperation.

"Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Wen. The vegetables, fruits, and rice are all ready."

"That's good, but Shopkeeper Ningguang should be careful. This winter caravan is not simple. They are affiliated with the North Country Bank. This North Country Bank has risen in recent years and has developed very rapidly. In addition to Inazuma, they are present in the markets of the other five countries."

"They are very invasive, but in Liyue, a land where etiquette is important, if they are not polite enough, they will have to pay a huge price if they want to take root here."

Ningguang smiled and said nothing more, but she also did not like foreign banks settling in Liyue. As Shopkeeper Wen said, most businesses in Liyue pay attention to etiquette.

Like robbers, they do not care about the attitude of the owner at all. This kind of bank is bound to be blocked. If they want to settle in, they will definitely pay a lot of price.

Of course Yang Ming knew this, after all, they really did it later, allowing Northland Bank to live on the rooftop, and even rented that property at a sky-high price.

But Pantalone, who is a fan of the Twisted Emperor, doesn't care about this little money. His goal is to replace Morax... well, in terms of money.

After all, considering the indefinite booking of the Goethe Hotel, this rent is obviously insignificant.

(But from what Shopkeeper Wen said, Pantalone seemed to have only been to Winter Solstice a few years ago. It took only a few short years for it to grow so large. What's wrong with Zhongli throwing him a Divine Eye?)

"Forget it. Why should I worry about other people's affairs? But I really want to meet this Pantalone."

In the following days, Ningguang and many shopkeepers were engaged in a heated debate with the merchants of Zhidong. The merchants of Zhidong felt that the price of grain was too high and needed Ningguang and others to lower the price. Ningguang and others felt that grain was a strategic material and it was good enough to sell it to you. You could buy it if you wanted or not and get out of here.

The merchants of Zhidong had no choice but to contact Pantalone who was far away in Zhidong. In the end, Pantalone said something unknown, and Ningguang and the others finally reduced the price by 10%.

Yang Ming only knew that when Ningguang came back that night, she hadn't eaten yet. Yang Ming had originally wanted to have a good last meal, but now it seems that's not necessary.

Around early morning of the next day, Yang Ming placed the cash box on the table in the living room, tried not to make any noise, and walked out the door.

Arriving at the port, the leader of the Zhidong Caravan met with Yang Ming.

"Are you the Yang Ming that Tianquanxing mentioned? Tianquanxing has greeted me. Although I don't know why you want to go to Zhidong, at least be honest on the road."

"We won't restrict your freedom on board, but you can't enter the sealed cabins. Is that a problem?"

"No problem, Captain."

"Well, let's get on board."

Yang Ming boarded the main ship. Following the captain's order, the ship started, the anchor was hoisted, and one cargo ship after another sailed out of Liyue Harbor.

In the morning, Ningguang got up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She came to the living room but did not see Yang Ming. Instead, she saw a cash box on the table.

Ningguang knew about the cash box. She wondered why it appeared here. She knocked on Yang Ming's door, but no one responded.

Ningguang pushed open the door, but only saw the neatly arranged quilt, not Yang Ming.

Suddenly, a bad thought came to Ningguang's mind. Without caring about anything else, she hurried to the kitchen, which was also empty.

Ningguang didn't even have time to change her shoes or pajamas as she hurried towards Liyue Harbor, tears streaming down her face. Ningguang first came to the three bowls but failed to reach the post.

Wanmin Hall, no. Chunxiang Kiln, no. Xinyue Pavilion, no. Liuli Pavilion, no…

Ningguang ran all over Liyue Harbor. Everyone saw it that day. Ningguang, who was still arguing with the Winter Merchant yesterday, was now like an abandoned kitten, walking and crying loudly, attracting the attention of everyone on the street.

The owner of Mingxingzhai happened to pass by. He was shocked to see Ningguang in such a miserable state and quickly took her back to Mingxingzhai. Even when he arrived at Mingxingzhai, Ningguang did not stop crying.

"My dear little aunt, why are you crying? Speak up. Are those old bastards bullying you? Tell me who it is, and I will support you."

No matter how the owner of Mingxingzhai tried to coax her, Ningguang still showed no intention of stopping.

Until the arrival of Zhongli and Ganyu, Zhongli and Ganyu took Ningguang back home as if they had known it for a long time.

"Sister Ganyu, Brother Yang Ming doesn't want me anymore, he doesn't want me anymore..."

"It must be...it must be that Ningguang didn't do something good enough...he doesn't want me anymore..."

"Xiao Ningguang, Junior Brother Yang Ming didn't abandon you. He just went to do something very important."

"Have you seen what Junior Brother Yang Ming left behind?"

Zhongli took out the letter from the cash box and handed it to Ningguang.
