Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

We should at least wait until Brother Qin Ye's plan is completed before making any further plans. We should discuss it with Lady Columbia first.

Speaking of which, where exactly did Brother Qin Ye go? Didn't he tell Lady Columbia to wait for him at home so they could go out together?

Perhaps he was busy with something important and got delayed? After all, only Brother Qin Ye could probably arrange a meeting with the Wind God.

As expected...

"Speaking of which, those two women drinking red wine in the corner just now...they looked so elegant." Paimon, with his keen eyes and ears, knew everything about the hotel.

"Those two are my colleagues."

Tatiana introduced herself casually, as if they were old acquaintances.

"Huh? An executive officer too? Are all the executive officers at Winter's End like this..." Paimon lowered his voice, "Do they all have this much free time?"

They have nothing to do all day long, yet they have a ton of Mora to squander. I wonder if Zhi Dong is still looking for an executive officer?

“We rarely see each other on weekdays, so this should be our rest time.”

Tatiana deliberately chose a spot far away from the servants, fearing that if she had any discrepancies in her conversation with them, Qin Ye might find something out.

"So, Miss Fool, it's about time we got down to business. What exactly do you want from me?" Ying didn't want Paimon to leave a bad impression on the other party; her fragile heart couldn't take it.

Tatiana clasped her hands together, supporting her chin, her voice full of seduction: "Have you considered joining my Fools? I will give you a status and rewards that surpass Qin Ye's."

"Okay, okay..." Paimon was about to agree without thinking, but Ying pulled him to her side and covered his mouth.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Fool. Qin Ye once told me that the work of the Fools is too heavy. I still have a very important goal to achieve. If things go smoothly in the future, I will consider it then. I apologize to you again."

Tatiana chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned: "In that case, I won't force you. But what if I just want to establish a cooperative relationship with you?"

"A cooperative relationship?"

"Well, to put it simply, your salary will be paid as usual, and it won't take up your time. You won't be registered with the Fools' Clan, but you will be given some proof of your identity."

I see. This is already the most lenient condition.

Ying pondered this privately.

Not only do they operate in a similar manner to the Adventurers' Guild, but they can also command some of the Fools, which brings considerable convenience to their journey. In particular, the items given by the executors might even be useful in front of other executors.

only...

"What are the conditions for such generous treatment?"

“It’s very simple.” Tatiana snapped her fingers lightly: “Just put the Fatui’s requests before the Adventurers’ Guild in the priority list.”

Although both organizations are affiliated with the same group, one involves going through various procedures and being closely monitored by all parties, while the Fools' Crowd is different; they can even fabricate fake documents for you.

"I see..."

It has to be said that Ying was quite smitten.

After all, her goal was to find her brother. The Fatui were everywhere in Teyvat, and they knew far more inside information than even the Adventurers' Guild.

"I can accept, thank you for the invitation."

"Of course, if there are really a lot of work to be done, I hope you will recognize the name of [The Fool] first."

"That's natural," Ying said, indicating that she could understand, just like when other companies are competing for orders.

Tatiana was in an exceptionally bright mood.

As expected of Brother Qin Ye, no wonder he told me to pull the other party into the Fools' Clan without saying a word, because he knew Ying would definitely refuse.

Whether she likes it or not, she will consider the current friendly relationship between the two parties before agreeing to the generous treatment that follows, greatly increasing the chances of her agreeing.

It seems that Brother Qin Ye doesn't want the other party to actually join the Fools, but rather to be a nominal member and a qualified tool, so that he can be used without any guilt and without having to argue with any party.

It's a completely shady private contract!

Oh no, Brother Qin Ye would never do such a thing; it's just a necessity of the plan.

The task was successfully completed; now all we have to do is wait...

"Ying, isn't that Qin Ye?"

Paimon exclaimed in surprise, pointing towards the doorway.

Their gazes followed the direction and they saw a familiar man leading a beautiful blonde woman into the Goethe Hotel.

Although the Fools at the gate had been informed in advance, they understood that the Fool's second-in-command was now the Fool.

The problem is, if you come in person, who would dare not take you seriously?!

"Um, um... sir, what do you need?"

Qin Ye patted the other man on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down: "It's okay, I just got back from shopping with a friend. Get me a private room, she and I like a quiet atmosphere."

"Wow!" Paimon exclaimed, his voice full of sarcasm.

Clang

Tatiana suddenly pulled hard with the knife, cutting the steak and plate in half.

Chapter 163 Unexpected, Yet Reasonable

“...The traveler.” Paimon dared not make a sound, trembling slightly as he looked at the chopped-up plate.

"Qin Ye said he had two fiancées, and the one who has great influence in Zhidong is... I'm so envious! I think it's necessary to put the previous plan back on track."

Ying narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with disdain: "Stop dreaming. I think if you keep talking like that, I might not be able to protect your life from Miss Fool."

“Yes…yes. I’m sorry, Miss Fool!” Paimon put her two small hands together in front of her and bowed her head to express her apology.

"Huh? What's there to apologize for? Let's eat, why aren't you eating?"

Tatiana pointed to the food on the table, stabbed a steak with a fork, and began to eat it in small bites.

"..."

It's...it's terrifying.

Qin Ye, oblivious to everything, gestured to Qin to introduce the hotel's scenery. Because it had been rented out by the Fools at a high price, the interior had undergone some renovations and was not the original Mondstadt style.

"Commander Qin, would you feel uncomfortable having dinner with me?"

"How could this be?" Qin had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

She looked around. She used to come to the hotel often, but she hadn't been here for a while, since the Fools were very strict about not letting any outsiders in.

"Mr. Qin Ye, what is your status in the Fools' Clan..." Qin left a question unanswered, unwilling to make things too definitive and create an awkward atmosphere between them.

"I think it's quite high."

The man's answer was also quite ambiguous.

"I see. I never expected to receive your invitation. I am truly flattered."

Qin didn't understand the hidden meaning in Qin Ye's words. Instead, she curiously pushed open the door to the private room, wanting to see the aesthetic level of the Fools.

"This is..."

The interior furnishings are a blend of styles from Winter and Mondstadt.

In addition to the dining table, the room also features a reception area and a cloakroom, designed to be recessed into the wall to facilitate the overall effect of the private room.

The dining table was perfectly positioned to match the sofa, coffee table, ceiling lights, and other structural elements, making what should have been a large private room for 6-8 people feel like a bedroom in a luxury villa.

Is this a building within my Mondstadt territory?

Qin fell into deep thought.

"No need to be so polite, Commander Qin, make yourself at home here."

Qin Ye smiled awkwardly. He thought Qin was going to tell him a riddle and he was already in the mood, but it turned out to be just a polite remark from an innocent girl.

"To think that the construction level is this high by winter..." Qin said, getting into work mode.

"..."

Are all workaholics like this?

Outside the private room

“I take back what I just said, Arecino. This time I’m genuinely curious.”

The woman placed one hand flat on the dining table and turned to stare at the closed door of the private room.

"Don't be surprised. He dared to invite the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius to the hotel in front of all of us. He must have some plan to carry out."

A deep, middle-aged male voice came through.

Rosalyn turned around abruptly. The young woman at the opposite table had changed into a black top hat and a men's suit. Her monocle reflected the light, making her look exceptionally sophisticated.

"Your ability to change clothes is always admirable; even Dionysus would probably be a step behind."

The lady's eyes were full of admiration, and she nodded repeatedly.

“Of course, I’m a professional. Dionysus was just a novice.”

Arecino stood up and pulled her hat down low: "Although I know he has some plans in the works, it doesn't affect my personal actions."

What do you want to do?

Rosalyn raised the corners of her mouth with great interest.

Generally speaking, when a servant chooses to change clothes, it means they are about to leave the territory of the Fools.

"It's nothing. Isn't this Dionysus's adjutant here? I remember her abilities are quite interesting. Since all the executives are here now, wouldn't it be nice for us to have a peaceful little meeting together?"

Arecino gave a mysterious smile.

"Indeed, we can't let Columbia enjoy herself at home alone."

Rosalyn immediately understood what the other person was thinking and gestured for her to go and come back quickly.

Inside the private room, Qin Ye and Qin quietly took their seats, but the curious girl continued to look around.

It wasn't because I'd never seen the world, nor was it because of the excitement of going out.

She just wondered why the Mondstadt residents hadn't been so cooperative in creating such a hotel interior before.

This was only a brief period of modification carried out by the Fools' outward-deployed forces, indicating that such scenes were quite common within Winter's End.
