Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"I'm here to help you."

Columbia's eyes, which were covered by hollow blindfolds, were obviously not opened, but standing in front of her, there was always a feeling of being seen through.

"You read my mind?"

Zuo Xi became vigilant in an instant, which was why he was unwilling to contact Colombia.

Based on the few rare encounters, Zuo Xi speculated that the other party had spiritual abilities. All of Zuo Xi's methods were purely physical. When facing Columbia, he was truly a mortal.

He is not afraid of visible attacks, but cannot guard against invisible invasions.

She is simply Zuo Xi's natural enemy. Among all the executives, he only feels powerless when facing Columbia.

"I don't. I can't read minds either.

But when you looked at me in the port, I saw it in your soul - you will need me for your next actions.

Moreover, I also see that you are distressed.

Are you worried about how to face me? So I asked Sandonne to bring me here. "

Sandone, who was on the side, stayed away from the incident. She had just brought Colombia here to look for Zuo Xi.

At this moment, she was watching with great interest, but she still rarely saw Columbia talking so much. Most of the time, he was singing melodious and sad songs.

This time it was Zuo Xi's turn to be silent. While on the boat, he specifically asked Rosalind questions about Columbia, and even inquired about her preferences.

It's fine now. It's completely useless. People just come to your house to help you.

To agree or not to agree?

If he doesn't agree, Columbia must be involved in what he does next.

If I agree...it's too easy and I always feel like it's a scam.

Sandone's eyes moved from Colombia to Zuo Xi. It was rare for Zuo Xi to be pinched. Most of the time, Zuo Xi had a confident expression.

What should I do, what should I do? My eyes are not enough.

It would be better if there is a bag of melon seeds.

Rarely, Zuo Xi found himself in a dilemma.

"Miss Columbia, I am a businessman and I believe that everything can be classified as an exchange of interests.

I don't mean to offend your kindness, but can you tell me your conditions? "

Columbia didn't speak, just shook her head slightly, and then stretched out a hand to Zuo Xi.

The meaning is clear, let’s make a decision.

In fact, Zuo Xi had no choice.

As long as he wants to do that, he can't avoid Columbia.

"Well, nice to work with... No, thanks for the help."

Although the doubts in his heart are still unresolved, for now, the direction of things is beneficial to him, and there is no need to forcefully stop it just because of a little suspicion.

At this point, Zuo Xi's major goal of returning to Zhidong was achieved.

"Done? I haven't seen enough yet."

Sandone looked like he was still unsatisfied. He didn't expect that he could gain such a harvest by leading a journey.

Seeing the two of them in a way that was rarely seen in normal times, this time they made a lot of money.

"Then do you want me to pack melon seeds for you again?"

Zuo Xi was speechless. The words "Nao" were written all over his face.

"Okay, okay, go ahead."

Shameless, shameless! Who did you learn this from?

I didn't reflect on myself at all, but I still went to prepare things. After all, we were both guests, so we still had to be polite.

After Zuo Xi left, Columbia looked at Sandone, thought for a while and then tilted her head.

Sandone, had she had this kind of character before?

The little pigeon doesn't know anything, the little pigeon doesn't want to think about anything, the little pigeon just wants to sing.

Columbia: Brain (not responding), turn on standby mode.

Seeing that the two of them still had no intention of leaving after dinner, Zuo Xi had no choice but to inform his subordinates to temporarily call Natalia over.

It's not that Zuo Xi doesn't have his own chef, but he has become accustomed to Nata's dishes during this period, so he wanted to let these two people have a taste.

After finishing the meal and seeing the two girls off, Zuo Xi calculated that it was almost time.

Sure enough, Pantalone and Pucciniella visited successively, and apart from congratulations, they mostly talked about cooperation.

During Zuo Xi's absence, the factory was operating normally, but after all, there was no one with enough say in the matter.

Many things could not be finalized and could only be left until Zuo Xi came back and nodded.

It stands to reason that one is a political figure and the other is a wealthy businessman, and both of them have high status.

Even if Zuo Xi was on the same level as them, there was no need to make a special visit. Even if it was to discuss cooperation, he could send his subordinates to discuss time.

It would be like this for other people.

But Zuo Xi was responsible for part of Zhidong's national defense, and his political status was not much lower than that of Puccinella. As an arms dealer, he was second only to Pantalone in terms of business.

It doesn't matter if the two aspects are taken separately, but when they appear in one person at the same time, they become impossible to ignore.

No matter in any aspect, Zuo Xi has the value of making the two of them lower their bodies and put aside their prejudices to win over each other.

After dealing with the boring social time, Zuo Xi could finally have a good rest.

You have to meet the Queen tomorrow. The process will not be easy, so you have to maintain enough energy.

A night without words...

The Winter Palace, as the residence of the Queen, is the most noble and holy place in the entire winter.

In the eyes of the Solstice people, or in the eyes of most residents of Teyvat, meeting the gods is the highest honor.

Ordinary people would never see a god even once in their lifetime... except for the Liyue people.

In the solstice, only the twelve people standing at the top have this honor.

This was not the first time that Zuo Xi came to the Winter Palace, nor was it the first time that he was impressed by the grandeur of the Winter Palace.

But every time I stand in front of the Winter Palace, a sense of mission and respect will arise spontaneously.

This body was born in the wind and snow, and it will surely return to the wind and snow.

On this point, his and Rosalin's attitudes were surprisingly consistent.

Perhaps this was the reason why he thought he must do something.

Surprisingly, the Queen summoned them both separately.

Logically speaking, Mondstadt's mission was carried out by him and Rosalind together, and they should report together as a matter of course.

But the Queen summoned him and Rosalind separately. Rosalind went in ahead of him, while he waited outside.

Soon it was Zuo Xi's turn, walking on the corridor, his footsteps echoing in the distance.

Entering the hall where he met the Queen, he gave the same salute as at the port.

This is the highest etiquette among winter people, and is only used when an executive salutes the queen.

Like the previous times, the Queen's face was still shrouded in mist, making it difficult for Zuo Xi to see clearly.

The figure on the throne is noble and majestic... As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in Zuo Xi's eyes, his own gods are simply a collection of all the praises in the world.

Gathering his mind, his next actions were somewhat contrary to his faith.

"Fortunately, I succeeded in bringing back the Heart of God from Mondstadt."

Taking out the preserved Heart of God, Zuo Xi presented it to the Queen.

The figure on the throne waved slightly, and the Heart of God flew forward.

"My subordinates are brave enough to ask the Queen for a reward."

The testing begins.

"speak."

"Can you improve my seat? I think this result should be enough to prove my strength."

First confirm whether your seat is special and obtain information based on this.

“The twelve seats are additional and do not participate in ranking.

Also, just ask, and as a reward, I will have selective answers to your questions. "

It was exposed as soon as it came. Was the intention too obvious?

But sure enough, the twelve seats are special.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but can my evil eye be upgraded?"

"...You don't have to force some things. You have a rarer talent."

The Ice Queen did not answer immediately, but after hesitating for a while, she tactfully told the truth.

She really made me cry to death.

“…Okay, then the last question.

Your Majesty, can you let me keep the heart of God for you? "

After asking this treacherous question, Zuo Xi's heart was pounding.

This problem might be playing with fire and burning oneself, but the heart of God is too important to him.

"I understand your research, but Mond's Heart of God is not suitable."

The imagined suppression did not come, but the Queen answered the question very calmly, and directly pointed out Zuo Xi's intention.

The hanging heart finally relaxed, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that there was already cold sweat on my back.

"Go back, your reward has been delivered."

The Queen's words brought an end to this interview. It wasn't until they left the Winter Palace that Zuo Xi felt scared.

This time is really an adventure. The worst case scenario is that he is directly suppressed by the Queen and has to find a way to escape.

The slightly better thing is to be grounded in the solstice, thus cutting off the possibility of contacting the heart of God.

This should be the best situation now.

Handing over the Heart of God from the beginning was actually a statement, showing that he had no intention of rebellion.

This was the basis for all subsequent questions and answers. In exchange for some information at the cost of a god's heart, Zuo Xi felt that this transaction was not a bad deal.

And he is indeed loyal to the Queen, and he does not want to betray the Queen no matter what.

Otherwise, he would have run away with the Heart of God as early as Mondstadt.

At this point, Zuo Xi's other purpose of returning to Zhidong was also achieved.

But what he didn't expect was that what he gained was much more than that.

Zuo Xi originally thought that the Queen's words meant that the question and answer was over and your reward had arrived.

But when he returned to the workshop, he found a heart of God emitting green light floating quietly on his desk.

Only then did he understand the meaning of the Queen's words - I agree to your request.
