"There's something wrong with what you're saying..."
As she spoke, Ningguang looked at Jiang Mu and smiled.
"How would I know when Captain Hokuto will go to Inazuma...?"
"Oh, does Lady Ningguang really think I'm a fool?"
Jiang Mu said with a smile.
"The relationship between the two of you... do I even need to explain? If it weren't for your support behind the scenes, the Southern Cross fleet alone could have..."
"Alright, alright..."
Upon hearing this, Ningguang waved her hand helplessly and said.
"Honestly, I have no idea where you get so much information, little guy. If I handed over Liyue's intelligence network to you..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Jiang Mu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Please spare me. I just want to run a business properly. Tell me, are you going to do this business or not?"
Looking at Jiang Mu, Ningguang sighed helplessly.
"Alright, tell me, what price do you want...?"
"No, this time, we'll still use the agency/distribution method..."
Then, Jiang Mu shared his thoughts.
………………
"is that so……"
After listening, Ningguang nodded.
"So you're giving up on maximizing profits in a single transaction and instead focusing on long-term trading...?"
"How about this: you just need to provide the materials, and I'll provide the technology. The profits will still be split according to the proportions stated in the contract, okay?"
Jiang Mu looked at Ning Guang with great confidence, but after a moment's thought, the latter shook her head.
“That sounds good, but I have another idea.”
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu became interested again.
"I won't take a single penny from this collaboration; you just need to do what I say."
"What are the conditions?"
Jiang Mu frowned. Given Ning Guang's personality, in this situation, she didn't think of negotiating terms with him first, but instead offered to not take a single penny?
Something's strange, absolutely strange...
"That is..."
Ningguang looked at Jiang Mu and said seriously.
"No matter what, the price of this desk lamp and its accompanying electric crystal should always be within the reach of ordinary people."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu was taken aback.
"One can imagine..."
Ningguang fondled the desk lamp in her hand and said softly.
"What kind of sensation will this kind of electrical appliance you mentioned cause once it is put on the market?"
“The greatest appeal of everyday items like these is their usefulness to ordinary people.”
"But what if someone with ulterior motives seizes this opportunity..."
Ningguang looked at Jiang Mu and said.
"By then, I'm afraid..."
"I see."
Jiang Mu nodded and said.
"I will instruct my men to be vigilant and prevent those people from seizing this opportunity."
Hearing this, Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I understand. In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
………………
After stepping out of the house, Jiang Mu let out a long sigh of relief.
"I never expected Ningguang to have such composure..."
He shook his head, thinking of Ningguang's Tianquan identity and her act of "smashing the Qunyu Pavilion in a rage"...
Hmm, it seems... not entirely incomprehensible, right...?
"Never mind, we've already given the things to her anyway. We can just let Yanqiao and the others handle it."
Thinking this, Jiang Mu greeted the people around him as he walked toward Bubulu.
It looks like I'll be away for quite a while again. I need to prepare some coconut milk for Qiqi...
Jiang Mu smiled as he opened the system store and saw the clearly priced "Coconut Sheep Brand Coconut Milk".
"Yes, it's you..."
………………
A few days later, after everything was ready, Jiang Mu, Ying, and Paimon once again embarked on their journey to Mondstadt.
Along the way, the three of them were relatively relaxed, slowly making their way towards Mondstadt, occasionally clearing out Hilichurl camps along the roadside and opening a couple of treasure chests, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
However, time on the road is always limited, and soon the three of them could see the outline of Mondstadt...
"Roar!" Suddenly, a roar came from above the three of them. They looked up and saw Dvalin flying over them. After seeing them, he nodded to them, as if to greet them.
"It seems Tvalin is living a very leisurely life now..."
Ying watched the Tvalin fly away and said with some envy.
Although she had experienced many worlds, it was only after arriving on the continent of Teyvat that she truly had the idea of settling down.
There is none of the urban hustle and bustle I've ever seen here; it's like a secluded paradise, peaceful and serene...
"Once I find my brother, I'll tell him to settle down here, and then..."
She glanced up at Jiang Mu beside her, and as if remembering something, Ying's pretty face suddenly flushed red...
………………
Soon, the two saw the gates of Mondstadt, and the two guards who had stood there for ages...
"Hey, Knights of Honor, you're back?"
Lawrence was pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Mu and the other two.
"Hmm, have you discovered anything important lately?"
Nodding to the two of them, Jiang Mu asked.
"Oh, right!"
Suddenly, Lawrence looked at Ying and exclaimed in surprise.
"Honorable Knight, recently a blond foreigner, and a man at that, has appeared in the taverns of Mondstadt. Do you think it's possible... he could be yours..."
Which tavern?
Upon hearing this, Ying immediately perked up and quickly asked.
"Well... to be honest, I'm not too sure either, since I'm basically a goalkeeper every day..."
Lawrence looked at the eager Ying and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"But it's said... he goes to the Angel's Gift every night to drink a few cups of dandelion wine. You can go there and take a look..."
Upon hearing this, Ying immediately turned around, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Mu.
"It will take some time before evening..."
Jiang Mu shook his head helplessly, but even though he knew the outcome, he still encouraged Ying.
"Let's wait patiently, but before that, how about we visit some acquaintances in the Knights?"
"no problem!"
Ying nodded, and then the two entered Mondstadt and headed towards the Knights of Favonius...
………………
"In that case, I wish you good luck. May the wind god protect you, my friends of Mondstadt."
After hearing the purpose of Jiang Mu and the others' visit, Qin gave them her sincerest blessings.
"Then we won't disturb you any longer."
Jiang Mu glanced at the pile of documents on Qin's desk and gave Ying a look. Ying understood, and the three of them nodded to Qin, the group leader, and then left her office.
