Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"I've long heard Ningguang talk about how powerful you are, and Traveler has always talked about you... I can tell you, Ningguang and Traveler are both heroes among people, and they can be praised like this by both of them. This is the first time I’ve met this person!

I've wanted to meet you, the talented person they praised for a long time, and now I see you are really a talented person! The story about Rice Wife has spread all over Teyvat. If you ask me, what they praised was too conservative! "

On Feiyun Slope, in a residence rented by Zuo Xi, a banquet that was not very large but extremely detailed was being held here.

A tall and slender woman with a body that feels weak, wearing a large, exaggerated but unexpectedly harmonious hairpin, a blindfold over her left eye, a cheongsam-like dress, and a brocade shawl on her shoulders is holding a wine bowl in both hands and looking to the left. Xi toasts.

This is the famous "Southern Cross" fleet leader and captain of the "Death Star" - Mr. Beidou.

"Wherever I am, I have admired the name of Captain Beidou for a long time, and I have been fascinated by it for a long time. Now that I can see him, it is a wish fulfilled.

You don’t know something, but Brother Fengyuan and my comrade have been talking about it in my ears for a long time! "

He held up the wine bowl with both hands, and Zuo Xi imitated the other party's bold gesture and drank all the liquid in the bowl without leaving any residue. His heroic posture made Rosalin next to him stunned for a moment, thinking that Zuo Xi's acting skills were as good as ever.

"Alright Beidou, this is the third bowl you've offered me. As the executive officer, as a winter drinker, your drinking capacity will naturally be strong, but you'd better restrain yourself."

Ning Guang drank the wine in the glass gracefully and began to taunt Beidou without raising her head. The two of them quarreled every day. Although Ye Lan had not seen them in person a few times, she had heard about them and was not surprised at this moment.

Zuo Xi knew very well, but Rosalin didn't care about this, so no one showed any special expressions.

Ning Guang had a clear view of everyone's performance, and after secretly exchanging glances with Beidou, she shook her head slightly.

"Tsk, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't talk nonsense all day? I think you are used to living on a high platform in the sky, and you are not used to the smoke of fireworks on the ground? Why don't we have a few drinks?"

After receiving Ningguang's signal, Beidou gave up and naturally turned the communication with Zuo Xi into a bickering between her and Ningguang. Although his face was already half drunk, the look in his eyes remained clear.

A fox is a fox and can never become a native dog. Zuo Xi, who saw every little move of the two people in his eyes, couldn't help but sigh. Whether it's Ningguang, Beidou, or Yelan. Even if the three of them have differences, their ultimate goal is always the same - to protect Liyue Port.

But he didn't pay much attention to it. The purpose of this banquet and the invitation letter sent before was ultimately to make the other party feel at ease. He wasn't sure whether the old man had spoken kind words for him in his dream, but judging from Ning Guang's alert but not very hostile attitude, he probably spoke for him.

Some people may wonder, since the purpose is to reassure the other party, wouldn’t it be a better choice to express goodwill? Why do you have to show off your power as soon as you arrive?

In fact, the truth is very simple. For smart people, the answers given by others always need to be verified. Of course, what the emperor gave is not needed. But Zhongli's guarantee could only make him no longer "dangerous" in Ningguang's eyes, but it was still worth being wary of.

If you take the initiative to show kindness, maybe... no, it will definitely be understood as intentional. Therefore, negotiation and testing must not be omitted, so he had no choice but to be patient and play with them.

Therefore, this banquet was a challenge for Ning Guang, but for Zuo Xi, it was no different than playing house. Boredom is inevitable, but other aspects can be enjoyed.

So Zuo Xi did not choose to book the restaurant at Xinyuexuan or Liuli Pavilion. Although the food in those two places was good, they were not as knowledgeable about their own tastes as the chefs who prepared meals for him for a long time.

Moreover, the guests we received this time had different tastes. If we wanted to satisfy the tastes of everyone present, it was obviously hard to come up with those common dishes.

Not to mention how picky Zuo Xi himself was, the eating habits of Ningguang, Yelan, and Beidou were hugely different.

A person who likes delicate and light food, and usually only likes to eat state banquet-level boiled cabbage. According to me, this is a "not deep pursuit" of food.

Someone who likes spicy food very much. Have you ever seen someone who grinds Jueyun pepper into powder and soaks it in water to drink? What a coincidence, Ye Lan is such a person.

A dish that is heavy on salt and oil means it has a strong taste. Maybe it’s because life at sea is somewhat physically demanding? Beidou's requirements for food are probably like this, in addition to being "lively". It's not so much the pursuit of food, but the pursuit of atmosphere, right?

In short, it is not easy to satisfy the tastes of these three people at the same time. If it weren't for the executive officer who gave the order, the chef would probably have cursed loudly.

Fortunately, all fools are professionals, no matter what aspect. In the end, this problem was solved, while Zuo Xi and Rosalin were satisfied, the tastes of the other three distinguished guests were also taken into consideration.

It's a little strange to use the word "distinguished guests" here for Ning Guang and the others, after all, this is Liyue and not Zhidong. As the host, Ningguang should not use the word "guest" under any circumstances.

But there was no way, at least for this banquet, Zuo Xi was indeed the host.

God knows what Ning Guang's expression was when Gan Yu was originally asked to invite the other party, but in the end she came back with three invitations.

"Speaking of which, is this Miss Ye Lan? A sight is better than a sight. She is worthy of being the "subordinate" of His Excellency Tianquan. "

Beidou and Ningguang's purpose of changing the topic was simple, because it was Yelan's turn to test them next. Compared to the two of them, Ye Lan, who has been walking in darkness all year round, is obviously more suitable for this matter.

In addition, due to the different working environment and different identities, Yelan's behavior style does not have as many scruples as them. Letting her take action at this time might have a miraculous effect.

Zuo Xi naturally knew what they were planning. So he not only turned a blind eye, but also took the initiative to talk to Ye Lan.

Of course, he didn't forget to show appropriate aggression. The word "subordinate" obviously has an accent. Now that everyone knows that Ye Lan's true identity has been exposed, this act of pretending to be stupid is no different from provocation.

The drama needs to be adequate, and being too gentle at this time is not a good thing.
