Chapter 97 Rest Day

The main road connecting Chihuyan and Feiyunpo is a bit crowded.

Because there were a lot of cargo airships coming and going, plus the flow of people, Ouyang had no choice but to hold Shen He and wait on the roadside.

It was under such circumstances that Ouyang saw Yelan walking out of the Yanshang Teahouse not far away.

Ouyang raised his eyebrows at this, and looked at the plaque on the Yanshang Teahouse again. After confirming that he had read it correctly, his impression of the other party became even lower.

Yanshang Teahouse is considered Liyue’s legal gambling house.

Like Zhutianfang, it can be regarded as Liyue’s local entertainment industry.

Meeting at such a place at such a time has a sense of black humor.

Is this a typical case of being caught trying to fish at work?

Ouyang looked at Ye Lan who was looking around with a rather amused expression.

At the same time, when Ouyang saw Yelan, she also saw Ouyang.

Ye Lan did not escape, but walked towards Ouyang openly and said hello.

"Master Ouyang."

"Are you Ye Lan? Is today your day off?"

The smart Ye Lan heard some of Ouyang's dissatisfaction with her from Ouyang's calm expression and tone, and Ye Lan explained this.

"Lord Ouyang misunderstood. Lord Tianquan asked me to pay attention to various trends in Liyue Port, so I am not being lazy."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Ouyang's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the cargo airships passing by on the street and asked.

"Then do you know the news about Feiyunpo's water source being polluted?"

"I know, but I am still investigating this matter. All water sources in Feiyun Slope are connected, so it will take some time to investigate."

Doesn’t this mean you didn’t say anything?

Ouyang did not continue to embarrass the other party and planned to leave.

"Then you can continue the investigation. I'll go to the General Affairs Department and ask."

"Master Ouyang, please stay. If you are concerned about this matter, then I have made progress after investigating. Do I need to report to you?"

"Well, after you finish the investigation, you can go to the General Affairs Department or Mingxingzhai to find me. I should be nearby there today."

"Okay. Mr. Ouyang, walk slowly."

After Yelan finished speaking, she left.

Ouyang took Shen He and continued walking,

Crossing the wooden bridge is the boundary of Feiyunpo.

As the commercial district of Liyue Port, the liveliness and prosperity here cannot be compared to Chihuyan, and the school area is even less comparable. At present, it is barely on the same level as Chihuyan.

The wide streets made Ouyang feel more comfortable. He led Shen He towards the General Affairs Department. Ouyang would suggest going in to the shops along the way.

But Shen He did not agree.

"Aren't you still concerned about the water source? Let's go to the General Affairs Department first."

"Well, this is considered a coincidence. And since Ye Lan said just now that she is already investigating, it means that the General Affairs Department should be taking action. I just stopped by to ask."

Ouyang told the truth. The water source was polluted. I saw that most of the cargo airships were filled with clean water. I thought it was something serious.

But he can’t always solve everything, right?

It's not like Liyue Port wouldn't be able to function without Ouyang. Today is a rest day after all, and he doesn't want to spend time on work.

However, Shen He did not agree, she shook her head and replied.

"Most of the cargo airships on the road just now were filled with clean water. Let's go to the General Affairs Department first to ask about the situation.

If nothing happens, it will be the same if we continue shopping."

"All right."

Looking seriously into Shen He's eyes and seeing her persistence, Ouyang also listened to her.

Speeding up the pace, the two of them soon arrived at the General Affairs Department.

As soon as they arrived here, the two of them saw a long queue in front of the General Affairs Department. Judging from the costumes, there were people from all over the world.

Ouyang didn't look much, and led Shen He into the General Affairs Department.

Qiao Guang was originally an idle man, but now he has found a very easy job, helping people queue up.

As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. Although Qiao Guang did not understand this truth, he fell in love with this profession after completing several transactions.

It is said that the birth of this profession was an accident. There were already long queues here at the General Affairs Department every day. No one could have imagined that there could be money and money in this job.

All this is because after the Liyue Port was under martial law and the purchase of all ore was restricted and could only be purchased from the General Affairs Department, the wealthy mine bosses and shipping captains gave birth to this profession.

The prices at that time were simply crazy. Those who ranked in the top fifty could get 10,000 molas. If they were in the top ten and met a generous mine boss, the price could increase to hundreds of thousands of molas.

Therefore, Qiao Guang naturally fell in love with such a profitable business.

At this moment, he was in the team, looking at Ouyang and Shen He walking towards each other, looking at the luxurious clothes on their bodies, greedy eyes appeared in his eyes.

Business is coming!

Qiao Guang, who became excited, spoke out to stop the two of them as they approached.

"You two, do you have something to come to the General Affairs Department? Do you want my position?"

As he spoke, Qiao Guang stretched out his hand and gestured with his palms, and continued.

"As long as this number is enough."

Originally Ouyang didn't want to pay attention, but he felt that Shen He seemed to want to take action against the person who suddenly stopped him, so he couldn't stop. He quickly pulled the hands behind him to signal Shen He not to be impulsive.

"No, thanks."

"Aren't you two here to do business at the General Affairs Department? The rule of the General Affairs Department is that you need to queue up. It's not good for you to jump in line like this."

Qiao Guang wanted to say a few more words, but Ouyang didn't want to pay attention and continued walking inside while holding Shen He's hand.

Behind him, Qiao Guang said dissatisfied: "Eh? If it's too expensive, we can discuss it again... You..."

His voice became weaker and weaker. After seeing Ouyang and the two entering the General Affairs Department without any obstruction, Qiao Guang became completely silent.

Darling, who are these two people?

Inside the house, Ouyang went to Chang Yuan's office according to his memory. On the way, he asked doubtfully.

"Did you just want to do something?"

"Well, he suddenly made a noise, and I thought he was trying to do you harm."

Shen He, who understood that he was too nervous, had a little red face.

This can't be blamed on her. The two of them walking hand in hand on the street made her nervous for a long time.

Now that I have finally adapted, I came to the General Affairs Department. This place is different from the street.

Due to Taoism reasons, not many people can recognize the two of them on the street, but many people here know them.

It's a pity that Shen He couldn't explain this reason. Fortunately, Ouyang didn't tease her after hearing this.

He simply thought that Shen He was doing his duty as a guard.

"Well, thank you, but you don't need to take action directly in the future. Let's check the situation first."

After a few simple words, the two came to Chang Yuan's office.

The door was open, so Ouyang walked in directly and saw Chang Yuan sitting at his desk, immersed in work.

"Chang Yuan."

Hearing the call, Chang Yuan raised his head in confusion, and stood up in surprise when he saw that the person coming was Ouyang.

"Master Ouyang, why are you here?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to ask two things."

"You say."

Chang Yuan did not dare to neglect. Although Liyue was divided into seven stars and eight sects, he understood that Qixing was very busy.

Many things are left to the Eighth Gate to do by themselves. Even if there is something, it is basically a matter of sending someone to pass a message. It is very rare that the Seventh Star comes to the door in person.

Therefore, Chang Yuan thought that this time it would be like before and something was going to happen in Liyue Port.

Ouyang stretched out his hand to stop Chang Yuan, who was busy pouring tea and waiting, and asked directly.

"Do you know about Feiyunpo's water source being polluted?"

"I know, but I should have asked Mr. Yuheng about this matter, but now Mr. Yuheng is not in Liyue Port, so we can only check it ourselves. We are currently investigating, but most of the reservoirs in Feiyunpo are connected.

, so it will still take some time.”

"I heard that this happened for three days, and you still haven't investigated the source?"

"This... Lord Ouyang, please forgive me, but the General Affairs Department receives too many businessmen every day and there are not enough manpower."

After hearing such an explanation,

At this moment, Ouyang, who had always looked calm, finally became angry.

Bang——

Snapped--

Ouyang picked up a teacup and threw it directly towards Chang Yuan. After hitting someone, it fell to the ground and shattered.

“Are you bullying me because I just took office and don’t understand anything?!

Who does this kind of investigation require from your General Affairs Department?

You can't command the Qianyan Army, and you can't mobilize a thousand soldiers? A thousand men and three days are not enough to investigate the source of the contaminated water?"

Ouyang was really angry. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that there seemed to be some problems with the entire administrative department.

And it’s still a big problem!

When I met Ye Lan before, when I asked her about the water source, she said, "It still takes time." Now Chang Yuan said the same thing.

This has to make Ouyang wonder whether the General Affairs Department really knows about this?

Is it because of my identity as Tianshu that I am inquiring, so I use prevaricating words such as needing to investigate to stabilize myself?

Wait until you are gone and then start processing?

All this time, Ouyang has basically never been to the grassroots level, and Gan Yu has always been around to help him, which makes him feel that the entire administrative system of Liyue is quite efficient.

As a result, it seems that he has accidentally broken this appearance.

"Three days! Don't you know how many more cargo airships there are on Feiyun Slope?"

"Sir Ouyang, I'm sorry, but we really can't mobilize so many people to investigate, so it took a long time."

"ha."

Ouyang laughed a little angrily. He sat down, looked at Chang Yuan who bowed his head and bowed his head to apologize, and asked.

"Okay, tell me, what is it that prevents you from mobilizing so many people? You have to make it up carefully for me. If it's not done well, you won't have to do it!"

"This... Lord Ouyang, the General Affairs Department has a lot of businessmen to deal with various matters every day, and there are long queues outside the door every day, so there must be a certain number of Qianyan troops here to maintain order.

Before, the people attacked the General Affairs Department, but in the end we failed to take good care of the people you captured and let them escape. Lord Ningguang asked us to start a secret search in Liyue Port, which also requires people.

The reason why the water source matter has been delayed for so long cannot be blamed on our General Affairs Department. After we received the report, we went directly to Mr. Yuheng's office, but the secretary there also delayed it for two days before typing the report.

return,

They said it was because Master Yuheng was not here and they couldn't make the decision and asked us to make our own arrangements, so that was the reason for the delay."

Reasonable and well-founded, really reasonable and well-founded!

Ouyang no longer wanted to talk nonsense and said directly.

"Send someone to find Gan Yu."

"...good."

Seeing Ouyang's face calmed down again, Chang Yuan vaguely felt that things were about to get worse, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense and immediately walked out of the office to find someone to call Gan Yu.

In the office, Ouyang let go of Shen He's hand. Without the power bank, his legs immediately lost consciousness. But he didn't care about it. He turned to Shen He, who was still confused and worried, and said, "Please, please."

Bring out the wheelchair."

"OK."

Shen He waved his hand, took out the wheelchair stored in the space, and carried Ouyang into the wheelchair and sat down.

"Why are you so angry?"

Ouyang did not answer this question, but said to Shen He guiltily.

"I'm sorry, I may not be able to spend time with you properly on this day off."

"It doesn't have to be like this. I'm with you every day, so there's no need for such special arrangements."

The two talked for a while, and soon Gan Yu and Chang Yuan walked into the office.

"Ouyang, what's wrong with you? Aren't you on vacation? Do you have something to do with me?"

Ouyang did not answer Gan Yu's question immediately, but looked at Chang Yuan who was hiding outside and waited for Gan Yu to arrive before coming in together, and ordered in a serious tone.

"Chang Yuan, I'm staying here now. I don't care what method you use. If you still can't find the source before the sun goes down today, you don't have to come back."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Chang Yuan hurriedly agreed and immediately stood up and left.

Gan Yu was a little confused and said doubtfully.

"Ouyang, has something big happened?"

"Gan Yu, do you know about Feiyunpo's water source being polluted?"

"I've heard of it, but hasn't this matter been handed over to the General Affairs Department? What happened?"

Seeing that Gan Yu didn't seem to understand the seriousness of the matter, Ouyang looked into her eyes and said seriously.

"Gan Yu, this matter has been delayed for three days, three days!"

"Huh? Three days? It's a bit long. I think Keqing's absence might have delayed everything."

Do you even say that...

Ouyang had a headache, and he suddenly felt that he might have become an alien.

In his opinion, it was a huge dereliction of duty for the people to be without water for three days.

Originally, he thought that the General Affairs Department was really busy, or that the matter was too difficult to handle and it was not solved quickly.

If this is the case, he will not get angry. After all, Ouyang is not an unreasonable person.

But now it seems that no one takes the matter seriously at all!

What he saw was a passing of responsibility,

Why report it to Yuheng's office? It's not a secret that Keqing is not in Liyue Port. Isn't the General Affairs Department trying to shirk responsibility by doing this?

Ouyang, who has always adhered to the "people-oriented" credo in his work, cannot accept this kind of work attitude.

Ouyang met Gan Yu's eyes and said with an extremely serious expression.

"Gan Yu, I don't like the current administrative team in Liyue very much."

"...how do you want to do it?"

Gan Yu was silent for a while, remembering the previous seven-star meeting, his gentle voice was a little hoarse.

"Have you decided you still want reform?"

"Put the reform aside for now. I'm not here to embarrass you. I just think it's necessary to implement an assessment and scoring system for the staff of the eight departments."
