"I heard the shipyard's manager mentioned that most of the repairs on the Death Star have been completed..."
The bright red eyes looked up and down at Beidou in front of him, making him feel uncomfortable and involuntarily folding his arms in front of his chest.
"Yes, that's why I'm so anxious to come to you."
Beidou stared at Ningguang warily, fearing that the other party would suddenly say some price that she could not accept.
Tianquanxing shook his head in a funny way, seeming to be weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, but he quickly raised his hands to pull up his pure platinum hair and nodded in agreement towards Beidou.
"I can make the decision and ask the General Affairs Department to send the six final aircraft to the shipyard. As for which ships to install on, it is up to your Southern Cross fleet to decide."
As soon as Ningguang finished speaking, Beidou suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, and kept asking questions.
"Six? Is it the same shape as the final machine on Qunyu Pavilion?"
"Of course, when have I ever wronged you?"
Ning Guang lowered his eyes and smiled, elegantly picked up the writing pen on the table and drafted a document for him.
"Hahaha... Those gems and antiques were not given to you for free, Ningguang!"
After a while, Beidou took the paper that was still wet with ink, put it into his arms without hesitation, and then excitedly rushed to Ningguang, lifted him up from the chair, and hugged him tightly.<
/p>
"Eh? Wait...you..."
Beidou has been sailing on the sea all year round, and his body is strong and strong. If he doesn't use his elemental power, how can Ningguang, who has lived in the Jade Pavilion for a long time, react.
"Let me go first..."
Ningguang tried to move, and quickly separated the other party with her elbows, but unexpectedly the wooden chair behind him was overturned to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Don't worry, I will protect you from now on in the sea!"
Beidou originally planned to hold Ning Guang and spin around twice, but after hearing the crisp sound of the wooden chair suddenly falling to the ground, he chose to let go of Lord Tianquan, who was almost out of breath in his arms, and patted the other party's shoulder boldly. Years of business experience have made Ningguang's character deeper. She smiles at everyone and is kind and enthusiastic towards children. This also makes her often praised as gentle, patient, and considerate.
It's just that people who hold this kind of evaluation always only have a superficial understanding of Ningguang.
In Beidou's view, Ningguang is neither the elegant and balanced Tianquanxing in the eyes of the people, nor the gentle big sister in the eyes of the children at the port, but a troublesome woman who is paranoid and careless.
But people like Ning Guang were defined by Beidou when they met for the first time as "a rare big shot who can exchange sincerity".
Ning Guang, who broke free from the restraints, leaned down to straighten the wooden chair, sighed helplessly, and pretended to be cold.
"I am extremely honored to be honored by the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet. However, I ask Captain Beidou not to make such ambiguous actions in the future. If someone misunderstands me, where can I go to reason?"<
/p>
The empty hall echoed with Ningguang's final tone, causing the last few words she spoke to be repeated over and over again.
"Hey...what are you thinking about?"
When Beidou heard Ningguang's slightly reprimanding words, he didn't show any regret or retreat. Instead, he raised his head proudly.
"Ningguang, you know, you are very similar to a small object I found before."
"I caught a palm-sized pearl clam when I went out to sea. It was very beautiful with a clear color, but the shell was extremely hard."
"My brothers were all very curious about the inside of the clam shell. Chongzuo said he wanted to break the shell open, but I stopped him."
Beidou looked at how he was adjusting his clothes, stroking Ningguang's hair from his temples. He didn't care whether the dignified Lord Tianquanxing would be angry because he was being compared to an object, so he continued talking.
"I didn't want to damage such a beautiful appearance, so I scooped out a bucket of seawater, soaked the clam in the water, and asked people to change the water for it every day. Slowly, it seemed to adapt to life on the ship, and finally opened a small mouth." "But this pearl clam brought me more surprises than I thought. From the slightly open gap, I saw its soft and fragile inside, but there was something deeper deep inside.
Sparkling."
Beidou raised his hand and pointed at the Fontaine necklace placed on the table. The stone amber at the end of the necklace had a warm and moist color that was different from similar ores, as if it had been soaked by sea tides all year round.
"Inside the clam shell is a very rare amber pearl."
"I immediately thought of you. Although this metaphor is not appropriate, Ningguang, you make me feel like that pearl clam."
"Stubborn and cold on the outside, but quite soft on the inside. He always thinks about others, and does not hesitate to be misunderstood for this. He is like a sparkling pearl."
Hearing Beidou's candid words, Ning Guang chuckled in surprise. Her long silver-white hair was like fine silk. The soft lighting of Yiyan Palace made her smile more obvious and more unclear.
To this day, there are still many people who believe that Liyue Qixing is the murderer of the emperor. The sources are very convincing. The case has twists and turns, and some are even quite reasonable. Even Ningguang himself couldn't help but smile after reading it.
.
There are people in the world who believe in the Seven Stars of Liyue, and naturally there are those who don’t.
Even for the oracles that have been respectfully requested in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony over the years, some people suspect that Ningguang has withheld the truly valuable parts and only released less useful information to the people.
But this is nothing more than judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. No matter how you explain it, some people will question that the biggest beneficiary is the real culprit behind the scenes. Such rumors are baseless. If we clarify them one by one, it will be a huge workload.
Let the General Affairs Department be shut down directly.
"If you think so, then so be it."
"But the price of six final machines is not cheap."
Ningguang folded her white legs together and restored her usual dignified and elegant posture.
"Can't the praise I just made offset some of the mola?"
Beidou straightened his back in disbelief, and slapped his leather-covered palm on the precious Cuihua wood lacquer table, causing Ningguang to hold his forehead and sigh softly.
"If comparing others to pearls and clams in the sea can be considered a compliment..."
"I just want Captain Beidou to do me a small favor, it's not a big deal."
Ningguang opened the drawer at the corner of the table, rummaged through a large pile of top-secret account books, letters soaked in water, notes approved by important figures, money orders from multiple banks, and other messy items. Finally, he took out a thin itinerary and pushed it to
In front of Beidou.
"After the emperor left, many major events in Liyue required meetings to decide on relevant policies."
"The next meeting will start at midnight. The main reason is that several shipping suppliers have objections to the ownership of the wharf reconstruction project plan. They all want to bear all the building materials business for the reconstruction of the North Wharf alone."
"Multi-party cooperation is a foregone conclusion, but these guys just refuse to give up and keep asking for meetings and negotiations. Otherwise, they will unilaterally suspend the transaction with Qixing and delay the delivery of wood and masonry..."
Ning Guang frowned, obviously a little irritated by the entanglement of these businessmen. Beidou immediately nodded understandingly and patted his chest confidently.
"Understood, tonight I will lead the brothers in the fleet to snatch those goods... and transport them back."
"No, I just want you to host this meeting for me..."
At this moment, Beidou, who heard Ningguang's request clearly, suddenly stiffened, blinked his eyes and tilted his head, staring at the calm Ningguang in confusion.
