Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

"What a clever little fellow."

Looking at the humane movements of "Zhang Zhang", even the knowledgeable Miss Tingyun couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise. The fox girl leaned over and gently stroked the piggy bank's head a few times.

Facing Tingyun's touch, 'Zhangzhang' did not show any fear. Instead, he kicked his legs very humanely and lay on the ground, seeming to enjoy the touch from Tingyun.

Seeing this, our Miss Topa couldn't help but turn pale. It was the first time she saw 'Biao Zhang' being so willing to be touched by an outsider.

If she didn't know that 'Zhangzhang' was a female, she would have thought that she was bewitched by the 'vixen' in front of her.

"Ms. Toppa, your pet is so smart. I also want to have a piggy bank like this."

After stroking it for a while, Tingyun stood up again, looked at the small piggy bank on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh out loud.

"Uh... 'ZhuangZhuang' is my partner and my family, Miss Tingyun. I'm very sorry, but I will not sell 'ZhuangZhuang'."

Topa said righteously.

"Hahaha~, look at what you said, Miss Toppa. I am not the kind of bad woman who takes away what others want. Miss Toppa is worrying too much."

The beautiful fox woman smiled and shook her head. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved by Topa's piggy bank pet. But that didn't mean Tingyun would force him or threaten him.

"I see. I have been judging others by my own standards."

Hearing this, Topa secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Tingyun would ask her to buy the account. If that was the case, there would definitely be a gap between her and her.

This is bad news for both her and the Interstellar Peace Company.

"correct!"

Thinking of this, Topa suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he suddenly thought of something, and pressed the earphone on his ear a few times with his fingers. The next moment, a virtual blue light screen appeared in front of the girl.

"Ms. Tingyun, please accept this."

Toppa's fingers fiddled with the blue light screen for several times. The next moment, a tiny space ripple appeared in front of Toppa, and a red box about the size of a palm emerged.

Tingyun took the box from Toppa's hand and opened it in front of him without any hesitation.

The moment the box was opened, a golden light seemed to shoot out, which made Tingyun unable to open his eyes.

"this is……?"

In the gorgeously packaged red box, there was a palm-sized jade pendant lying quietly. The jade pendant was warm in color and crystal clear, just like mutton-fat white jade, making people want to pick it up and take a closer look.

The jade pendant is engraved with exquisite patterns, with smooth and natural lines, as if it were created by nature. In the center of the pattern is a lifelike fox.

The fox's posture is graceful and delicate, as if it will take off from the jade pendant at the next moment.

Overall, the jade pendant gives people a sense of simplicity and elegance, revealing a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

"This is indeed a good thing, Miss Topa, you are very thoughtful, but... I can't accept this thing."

Tingyun shook his head gently and handed the box back to Topa. The folding fan in his hand opened with a puff, revealing four big words on the fan - Self-denial and dedication to public service.

Our Miss Tingyun actually likes Topa's gift very much.

Jade is an object that occupies an extremely important position in the culture of Xianzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that jade runs through the entire history of Xianzhou.

To what extent do the Xianzhou people love jade? This can be seen from their communication tool "Yu Zhao".

"Haha, Miss Tingyun, you worry too much. Well, this gift is just a token of my appreciation, not a bribe. Please don't despise it, Miss Tingyun."

Tingyun just nodded slightly to Topa's explanation, but she still refused the gift in her hand.

"Hey~!"

After several rounds of entanglement and excuses, seeing that Tingyun insisted on not accepting the gift, Topa did not pretend to be nice to him anymore. She put the jade pendant engraved with a fox pattern back into the space, and then bowed to Tingyun with the etiquette of the fairy boat.

"Miss Tingyun is honest and upright, and she is a man of integrity. If I continue to decline, then it will be my fault."

Having said this, Topa paused slightly, then continued speaking.

"Since Miss Tingyun is unwilling to accept the gift, then I, Topa, will personally owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to fulfill your request!"

Some time later, in front of the gate of the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce, watching Toppa's departing back, our Miss Tingyun raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a smile of success appeared on her face.

With another "puff" sound, the folding fan in Tingyun's hand opened again, but this time, the words "self-denial and dedication to public service" were not written on the fan, but "strategy and planning" instead.

Compared to that flashy jade pendant, the favor of Topa as one of the 'Ten Stone Hearts' is naturally more valuable. The two are not even on the same level.

If he had just accepted Toppa's jade pendant, it would mean that Tingyun tacitly acknowledged that the help he provided to Toppa was a deal, which would be too good a deal.

"Do you owe me a favor in your personal name? Well, it doesn't matter. A favor in the name of an individual is sometimes no less than a favor in the name of the 'Stone Heart Ten'..."

------------

"Ah, I've lost money this time. That fellow from the fox tribe is really hard to deal with. But come to think of it, to be the representative of a large chamber of commerce, you need to be good at something."

Topa sighed helplessly. Just as Tingyun thought, she originally wanted to give a jade pendant as a gift and let the matter go, but the other person was a shrewd person and knew how to maximize the benefits.

"Forget it, it's just a favor. I can afford it. I'll just treat it as a way to build a good relationship with the other party. Tingyun knows Qingque, the envoy of the [Karma] Order, and it seems that she has a good relationship with the other party. Just treat it as an investment."

Comforting himself in this way, Topa began to make plans for tonight's banquet in advance.

"Miss Qingque will attend the banquet with her husband. It seems that I may be able to start with her husband. This way, the probability of a successful negotiation should be greatly increased..."
