Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

After hearing Chang Ming's words, Paimeng and Ying looked at each other, as if they were communicating with their eyes whether they should take on this commission or not.

After a long silence, Paimeng tilted his head and looked at Chang Ming, confirming the content of the commission again.

"So... Chang Ming wants us to enter Melo Petersburg to investigate the situation of the "Young Master"? "

Chang Ming nodded, "Yes, this is also the plan I proposed when I met with the "servant" at that time."

"In lieu of preventing her from intervening directly, I will send someone to find out the specific status of the "Young Master" and report the details to the diplomat."

After saying that, Chang Ming touched his chin and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Although she was very dissatisfied with my proposal, due to the various actions of Northland Bank in recent times...she had to comply with my plan."

Paimeng looked at Chang Ming, who was smiling faintly, with a strange look. She always felt that the person in front of her was not a human, but a fox.

——An old fox.

However, she did not dwell on this point too much. She shook her head and asked:

"By the way, Chang Ming, I've been wanting to ask for a long time, why doesn't Melo Petersburg belong to the judicial system of Fontaine?"

Paimon asked tentatively.

"In the laws of Fontaine, the method of punishing criminals is not "imprisonment" but "exile."

"Strictly speaking...Mellopeterburg is not so much a prison as a huge penal colony."

"It is precisely because of this feature that the Mo Mang Palace will only send guards to monitor and assist in maintaining public order. As for the operation of Melo Petersburg and the industrial chain behind it, we have no right to inquire."

"That's the general situation. I wonder what you two think about this commission from Mo Mang Palace?"

Chang Ming asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, and after a brief exchange of glances, Ying made the final decision:

"We decided to take on this commission."

"Well! No matter how you think about it, it's the right thing for us to do. After all, Chang Ming has helped us so much, and we can't make things difficult for you."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Chang Ming nodded without surprise, and then continued:

"On behalf of Momang Palace, I would like to thank you both for your help. This matter is very important to the current situation in Fontaine, so I hope you two can keep it confidential."

Navelette, who had been silent before, also spoke at this moment:

"I sincerely thank you for your help. After you have rested for a while, we will gather at the entrance of Melo Petersburg on Ilie Island. We will arrange for someone to take you in."

Hearing what Villette said, Paimon was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

"Hmm...what preparations should we make?"

"Perhaps you can take a good bath and have a good meal. After all, the living conditions in Melo Petersburg cannot be compared with those in the outside world."

At this moment, Chang Ming tacitly took over Villette's words and continued:

"Please rest assured, due to the special nature of this operation and its specific content, there are indeed necessary conditions that will reduce the quality of your lives..."

"No matter what the result is, we will pay you two corresponding subsidies according to the highest standards of Fontaine Law civil servants."

Having said that, Chang Ming paused for a moment, then said:

“And, of course, some personal thanks.”

When he heard the words "personal thanks", Paimon's eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance, and he said with some anticipation:

"Wow... It's a special reward from the Regent of Fontaine! What is it? Can you tell us in advance?"

Looking at Paimeng who was stomping excitedly in front of him, Chang Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Well...please keep it a secret for now. After all, there are many rewards that you can't imagine."

Chang Ming’s words made Paimeng a little anxious for a moment, but there was nothing he could do.

"Well... okay, but these rewards sound pretty good."

After saying that, Paimeng turned his gaze to Ying beside him and said:

"Ying~ Let's go, I want to have the best meal, so much so that I won't want to eat gourmet food again for a month, you treat me!"

Paimon's words made Ying feel quite hurt in her wallet, but she still sighed and nodded.

There's nothing I can do, since this guy is my guide.

"Oh, by the way, just consider it as part of my personal thanks. If you two don't mind, you can send the bill to Mo Mang Palace and I'll pay for it."

Hearing this, Ying suddenly raised her head and looked at Chang Ming who was standing not far from her. At this moment, he seemed to be really glowing!

Ying nodded gratefully, then quickly took Paimeng away from Momang Palace.

Originally, she just wanted to eat a little with Paimon, but Chang Ming's words made her feel like having a big meal.

——After all, I’m going to go to jail in Mellow Petersburg anyway, so I can’t treat myself badly.

......

After Ying and Paimon left the office, Chang Ming turned his attention to Navilette, who seemed to have something to say to him.

"What's up, Villette? Is there anything else you want to say, or a case you want to discuss?"

Villette was stunned at first, then he slowly asked:

"Mr. Chang Ming, I want to know...how do you usually express your emotions? Or...under what circumstances do you choose to express your emotions?"

Chang Ming didn't seem surprised to hear Villette's question. He nodded slightly and said:

"There are only a few ways for humans to express emotions: words, facial expressions, and body language."

"As for what the situation is... I can only say that people express emotions all the time, but the emotion they express most often is called "calmness."

“Emotions are part of human nature. When you can feel the ups and downs and changes of emotions... you already have human nature.”

After saying that, Chang Ming shrugged his shoulders and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"To be honest, I don't know how to make you understand this, but it seems to me... you don't seem to need to express any particular emotion."

"Because you will be sad, angry, and calm at ordinary times, and that is enough."

"As for expression..."

Chang Ming fell into silence. He looked Villette up and down, then gave his own solution.

"Although I don't think you have to express your emotions perfectly, but since this is your idea... I should respect it."

"When you are not in trial, go out more often, Villette, go to the coffee shop on the street, listen to their voices, walk on the street, and experience their joys and sorrows."

“Just like when I was in the bakery.”
