Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Despite being an immortal, Xianyun had to admit that she had no way of figuring out Chang Ming's thoughts.

Before Chang Ming said those words to her, she even thought that the phrase "the only one left" was a mockery of herself for standing aside and watching the show.

But after Chang Ming finished talking to her, she suddenly felt that Chang Ming didn't mean that, but she didn't know how to explain it.

"Perhaps this is the wisdom of being a regent..."

"Controlling power and manipulating people's hearts and human nature, perfectly expressing one's dissatisfaction while using the other party's personality to achieve the other party's goal, this is really..."

Xianyun shook his head helplessly, as if there was nothing he could do about this regent.

As for the only remaining fruit...she didn't have any objection.

In Liyue today, how many people are truly proficient in mechanical engineering?

Only by acknowledging this fact can we continue to move forward with responsibility.

She is an immortal, and she has a lot of time left. She has plenty of time and energy to find a way out.

At that time, she could raise her head, look at Chang Ming and say -

"Who said I am one of the few remaining masters of Liyue's mechanical arts? Isn't my student the same?"

Thinking of this, Xianyun showed a smile on his face. Then he took the drawing from Desnos's hand, walked aside and started to make test questions according to his own thinking.

Chang Ming was left to worry about diplomatic matters, and she was only responsible for selecting students who matched her.

......

While Xianyun was busy making test questions, Chang Ming was sitting in a leaky office, drinking black tea leisurely.

After drinking too much Liyue green tea...he suddenly felt that Fontaine black tea was not that bad.

"Just like life, you can't always do one thing without changing your mind. You have to do other things from time to time to change your mood."

Chang Ming sighed in his heart for an unclear reason, and then turned his gaze to the children who were standing trembling behind Ivankov.

These children are not too old, the youngest is about seven or eight years old, and the oldest is about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Looking at those children of Zhidong who looked like frightened little animals, Chang Ming frowned slightly.

In a sense, Chang Ming, who was able to teach Navia, can also be considered a "teacher".

From the perspective of a "teacher" or "elder", he was very dissatisfied with Ivankov's attitude towards these children.

——Even though these children were not from Fontaine, he was also dissatisfied.

This is human nature.

"It's already very good for them to understand a little bit of knowledge about the return of earth energy at this age. Do you really have to attack these children for your own purposes?"

"Fortunately, Xianyun is here today, otherwise these kids' self-confidence and ambition would be used as stepping stones by this idiot."

"Don't teachers in Zhidong Country need to take a teaching certificate? How can such a beast be a teacher?"

"But... this does give me a new idea."

There was a gleam of light in Chang Ming's sea-blue eyes, as if he had thought of a way to buy at the bottom.

"Since this guy treats these children so badly... doesn't that mean I can use this to my advantage and turn them to Fontaine's advantage?"

"But this only applies to children who come from the Hearth House or are under Columbia's control. Others... can't be trusted."

Thinking of this, Chang Ming put down the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up and walked behind Ivankov.

Under Ivankov's shocked and puzzled gaze, Chang Ming asked the youngest child softly:

"What's your name?"

Listening to this extremely gentle voice and feeling the unprecedented friendly atmosphere, the girl's originally frightened heart calmed down in an instant.

She looked at the pair of extremely gentle eyes, bit her slightly pale lips, and then whispered:

"My name is Narnochi Schnetsevna."

"Schnetsevna's last name..."

The corners of Chang Ming's mouth slightly raised, as if he had already made a decision in his heart.

He patted the girl's head gently and said tenderly:

"Don't be nervous, just do your best."

"...Um."

Hearing the little girl's agreement, Chang Ming chuckled and nodded, then stood up and looked at the surprised children very gently and said:

"The same goes for everyone else. Just do your best. You will not lose the opportunity to study abroad in Fontaine because of this incident. I guarantee this to you in my capacity as the Regent of Fontaine."

Hearing Chang Ming's words, the children who were originally anxious were stunned at first, and then their tense expressions gradually relaxed.

That's what they're worried about.

Ivankov had told them before...if they failed to be admitted to the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, they would be sent back to winter, back to that place full of oppression.

How good can a so-called "college" created by "doctors" and "rich people", a madman and a profit-seeking banker be?

Chang Ming, who saw this scene, nodded slightly, and had already reached a conclusion in his mind.

——These children can be absorbed.

Chang Ming never thought that people could be bound together by simple relationships like so-called "friends".

But think about it from another perspective. If this relationship is tied to a layer of "interest", then this kind of relationship will be the most stable in the world, without a doubt.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming wanted to ask Desnos for a list and select some candidates to recruit...but Ivankov made some remarks that made Chang Ming very uncomfortable.

"Humph, even if you go to the academy for further studies, what's the point? You're still just as useless."

"You can't even pass the test for a lab assistant, what are you talking about with scientific research? What are you talking about the future of the Winter Nation? You're just a bunch of useless idiots!"

Hearing Ivankov's words, the children who had just been comforted by Chang Ming lowered their heads instantly, with a gloomy look on their faces.

——As if they really are trash.

Seeing this scene, Chang Ming frowned slightly, and his evaluation of Ivankov dropped to a lower level again.

Using these kids' low-life behavior to disgust the researcher was already stupid in his eyes, and now... that person was even more of a waste.

"Looking at the looks of these kids...it's probably not the first time they've been humiliated like this..."

"Waste? I don't think so..."

Chang Ming shook his head gently, then slowly stood up and said to the arrogant little man sitting not far away:

"I thought... that the Kingdom of Winter, which is considered to have the most advanced technology among the seven nations, would have many good teachers."

"But now I see...I haven't seen many good teachers, but I have seen many self-righteous idiots."
