Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing Sedna's rather serious tone, Paimon was stunned at first, and was unable to react for a moment.

She originally thought that Sedna was going to give her some serious task, but...

Are you really just acting as a security guard to temporarily maintain order?!

Paimon looked at Sedna who was standing at the gate of Momang Palace and patiently guiding the people of Fontaine, and sighed slightly.

It’s not that I’m disappointed with the content of the commission, but... I find this job quite boring.

She looked at Ying beside her with some boredom and asked in a low voice:

"Ying, do you think... can we still receive the commission fee?"

In response, Ying shrugged helplessly, indicating that she was not aware of this.

Generally speaking, the work they are undertaking now is similar to that of enthusiastic citizens on the street, and they basically don't get paid.

——Even if I can get paid, the price won’t be very high.

But if you think on the bright side, they have handled most of the commissions in Fontaine Court in recent times.

It is acceptable to waste a little time to improve Chang Ming's favorability.

At this moment, Paimon seemed to suddenly remember something, and whispered to Ying beside him:

"Ying, do you still remember that we helped Uncle Tian and Ye Lan select the successor of "Tianshu Star"? "

Hearing this, Ying was stunned at first, then nodded.

She still remembers Zhiyi, who had received the kindness and teachings of Uncle Tian and would one day ascend to the position of Tianshu Star with the support of Uncle Tian.

Although she had seen many cases of betrayal, this was the first time she had seen someone as abstract as Zhiyi.

He clearly knows that the Fatui cannot be trusted, but still insists on cooperating with them. The word "idiot" is almost written on his face.

but...

What does this have to do with what is happening now?

Could it be that Paimeng wanted to volunteer to take on part of this matter and help Chang Ming relieve some of the pressure? In order to increase his reward?

Thinking of this, Ying frowned slightly. She always felt that this matter was not quite right.

——After all, you chose to help voluntarily, so how can you ask for compensation for this?

Paimon seemed to have seen through Ying's thoughts, and he quickly explained:

"Oh, it's not what you think! I was thinking... should we take this opportunity to confirm our promise?"

"After all, Chang Ming is very good to us. If I don't do something for him... I will feel uncomfortable..."

Paimon lowered his head slightly, seeming to still be a little bothered by what happened before.

Ying took a deep look at Paimeng in front of him, then nodded and said:

"Okay, I agree with your idea, but how do we do it?"

"Just like last time~"

Paimon said as he floated towards the scholar dressed in Sumeru at the end of the team, while Ying shrugged helplessly and followed him.

......

"Hello~ Are you also here to apply for the new clerical position at Mo Mang Palace?"

Paimon asked as he looked at the bespectacled Xumi scholar in front of him.

The young man was obviously stunned, then he nodded slightly without saying anything.

"So...are you here because of the high monthly salary?"

Hearing this, Brother Sven frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with Paimon's speculation about him, but still shook his head.

"I want to apply for the job because I admire Mr. Chang Ming."

As the young man spoke, he slightly raised his head and looked towards the second floor of Mo Mang Palace, his eyes full of longing.

Now it was Paimon's turn to be stunned.

In her impression, scholars in Xumi are basically only people from Xumi, and it is rare to see scholars from other countries.

Even if there are, scholars from other countries will stay in Xumi for various reasons.

After all, the current Sumeru is indeed the most suitable place for research in the entire continent of Teyvat.

These academics are also happy to stay in Xumi, which leads to the fact that students from the Teaching Academy of other countries are rarely seen outside Xumi.

"Uh...but aren't you a student of the Xumi School? Why do you "worship Chang Ming"? Are you from Fontaine?"

Paimon asked in surprise.

The young man nodded gently and said:

"I am from Fontaine. After graduating from school, I entered the Zhilun School to study. I knew that Mr. Chang Ming's work was very hard, so I wanted to help him share some of the burden."

"My father used to be a civil servant in the Momang Office. He knew where the benefits of being able to leave work on time every day and not having to work overtime all year round came from."

"So he told me since I was a child to be useful to Fontaine so as to reduce Mr. Chang Ming's burden."

"After all...Mr. Chang Ming is the real patron saint of ordinary people like us..."

After saying this, the young man nodded to the two of them as if greeting them, then lowered his head to look at his resume, muttering to himself, as if he was preparing for the next interview.

Seeing this, Ying and Paimeng could only ask others, get some information about Chang Ming from them, and ask them why they came.

"Just doing paperwork can earn me over 100,000 Mora a month. I can't even imagine how much I could earn if I was busier!"

"Who doesn't work for a salary? The department established under the leadership of Lord Chang Ming...it's impossible for him to default on his debts, right?"

"Lord Chang Ming has taken on a lot of work for us, and now... he needs us, Fontaine needs us, so of course we have no choice but to do our best."

"If Mr. Chang Ming hadn't punished those old nobles who should be hung on street lamps, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to go to school..."

When he heard this answer, Paimeng, who was originally about to ask someone else, was suddenly stunned.

This was the most unique answer she had ever heard, and also the most meaningful one.

Looking at the pale man in red in front of him, Paimeng was stunned for a long time before he asked:

"Why do you say that? Is there any hidden story behind this?"

Hearing this, the man first looked up and down at the two people in front of him, then said:

"You have just arrived in Fontaine not long ago, so it is normal that you have not heard of the story that was passed down by word of mouth more than a hundred years ago."

"I see you have asked quite a few people just now. You should also know about Mr. Chang Ming's change to the labor law, right?"

"Of course. I heard that almost all the residents of Fontaine benefited from this~"

The man smiled and shook his head when he heard this, then he said:

"But...Mr. Chang Ming was almost killed because of changing the law..."

"That's not just a matter of touching the money bags of the old nobles, it's also a matter of "polluting" the knowledge resources of those self-righteous old nobles..."
