Qin Ye could understand why this place was so busy at this time, and he couldn't help but admire Li Yue's efficiency.

But why...why would a coconut sheep come to host the event in a place like this?

Shouldn't the secretary be overwhelmed by countless paper reports right now, unable to get up?

"Okay, thank you everyone. I have sorted out the situation here. Please be patient and come to me to pick up your missions later."

Gan Yu forced a smile, feeling gratified looking at the workers surrounding her, but...

She seemed to have lost count of how many days she hadn't had a rest.

"Miss Gan Yu, so you've been here all along."

The familiar voice calmed the commotion at the scene.

"Greetings, everyone. I am the executor of the Fools. I have just returned from exploring the bottom of the Abyss of Lapis Lazuli. I have many things to discuss with Miss Gan Yu. Please come back later."

Oh no! There's a very important person here!

Everyone naturally knew... and could roughly guess what important things these two had to talk about, so they tactfully left.

"You are highly respected by the people of Liyue."

Seeing that only he and Gan Yu remained, Qin Ye's tone became more casual.

"Qin Ye... Lord?"

An unexpected person appeared in front of me, and I didn't know how to address them.

"Relax, I'm not here to lecture you. Just call me by my name. I'm not used to your way of addressing me just now."

The man gestured for the other person to take a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Ah... okay."

Gan Yu first rubbed her slightly sore eyes, then mentally encouraged herself.

"Everything's fine now..." She tilted her head shyly, her gaze shifting upwards as she pondered, "Where were we?"

"They say you are highly respected by the people of Liyue."

"No no no!"

The girl quickly waved her hands: "I only did some trivial work."

"Haha..." Qin Ye knew that such a personality couldn't be changed overnight, so he changed the subject: "Have any other Fools soldiers gone up to the surface before?"

“The executor named Tartaglia explained the situation to me, and I arranged for them to be sent to the outer zone. There was a strong tremor near Liyue, and the cause has not yet been determined. The inner zone may be more dangerous.”

When have we, the Fools, ever been treated so kindly by other countries?

After a moment of indignation, Qin Ye extended an invitation to Gan Yu: "I'm not very familiar with the area yet, how about we take a walk together?"

Simply put, stop worrying about your own little things. If you don't rest, even an immortal couldn't withstand this kind of pressure.

At least Gan Yu seemed quite at ease when she was by his side.

"Of course!"

She understood the deeper meaning behind Qin Ye's words and excitedly agreed, but quickly suppressed her joy: "I still have some work to do here."

"Let me take a look." Qin Ye picked up a stack of documents, read them carefully, and then sorted and categorized them, stacking them up separately.

He casually took out a pen from his pocket, poked it twice on the paper, indicating to the other person that he could handle it on their behalf.

"Please...please." Gan Yu blushed, seemingly embarrassed about asking for help, but since it was Qin Ye, she didn't know how to refuse.

As soon as he finished speaking in agreement, Qin Ye began writing rapidly on the paper, and the height of the document began to decrease at a visible rate.

"This...this kind of efficiency."

"Is it amazing? After categorizing, it's basically like an assembly line. These dozen or so items are all purchased from outside. Once you confirm that everything is correct, you can just approve the payment. Do you expect me to write a long essay for each of them, telling them how to bargain and how many of each item to buy?"

"..."

Silence fell over the scene.

"No way?" Qin Ye's pen tip poked into the paper, quickly leaving a black dot.

"That's how we used to do it, but things aren't going well in Liyue lately. We're getting a bit stuck on things and are always worried that something might go wrong."

"..."

You're just not getting enough rest, and your brain isn't working properly.

You see, I usually...

It seems the main reason is because of Tatiana's all-around care, such as pouring tea, cooking, giving massages, and signing documents on my behalf...

That's a bit extravagant, so let's not talk about it.

"ended."

In less than ten minutes, Qin Ye had neatly arranged all the documents: "After that, just find someone you trust to distribute them."

“But…” Gan Yu’s expression clearly showed some hesitation.

"?"

You wouldn't want to do even such a small thing yourself, would you?

"Isn't it the details that determine success or failure?" Gan Yu asked in a low voice, covering her horn.

"Who taught you that...? How can doing it this way be efficient?"

"That's what you said when you asked me to handle things for you before."

"..."

That's fine.

Qin Ye chuckled and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, why are you in charge of the Layered Rock mission this time? I thought the field investigation was all done by Master Ke... Ke Qing came in person."

"Because...because..." Gan Yu was struggling intensely in her heart.

But soon she slumped her shoulders as if resigned to her fate: "You and the Emperor both told Ye Lan and Ning Guang to come to me if there are any problems, and to let me vouch for them. I really didn't know what excuse to come up with these past few days... so I had to take the initiative to apply to come here. I'm sorry to have disappointed you."

A pair of large hands landed on Gan Yu's shoulders.

"No, please don't apologize..."

I suddenly felt a little sorry for her.

Zhongli! It's all your fault! How can you shift all the blame onto one person?

Chapter 210 So calm?

"Ahem, in short, your journey through the Layered Rocks has come to a successful conclusion. Since your companions... your Lord [Fool] has personally gone to explore, it proves that you laid a solid foundation for exploration beforehand, and it's not that you held him back."

The young man's gaze swept over the somewhat sullen soldiers below, then he clapped his hands heavily, drawing everyone's attention back to the present.

"Now that we have withdrawn to the surface mining area, adjusting our condition and recuperating should be the most important goal for everyone."

"..."

Qin Ye looked at the foolish soldiers gathered in front of the podium with a surprised expression, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, feeling somewhat incredulous.

The one giving the speech is the eleventh seat of the Fools, "Prince" Tadalia, with a serious expression but an encouraging tone.

"Oh My God..."

The child has grown up.

Qin Ye felt a strange sense of relief.

"Is this your current colleague?" Gan Yu followed beside Qin Ye, nodding to herself, giving a fairly positive assessment of this mobilization.

"A capable assistant whom I personally promoted."

The young master moved through the crowd; as an executive officer, his reputation was undeniable, and his words were naturally quite convincing.

He suddenly stopped and looked outwards.

"Hey! Buddy, you're back pretty fast this time."

I had originally planned to go and help out, but my partner came and went in a hurry, without even giving me a chance to offer suggestions.

“My Lord Fool.”

"elder brother."

The soldiers of the Fools had barely warmed their backsides when this sudden figure made them uneasy.

Although the Fool was considered relatively understanding by these people, it was precisely because of this that they felt somewhat embarrassed after receiving help, feeling that their efforts over the past few days were not worth the other party's efforts.

If Qin Ye were to put it simply, these people had worked under that old bastard, "Rooster," for a long time.

"Let's put the exploration of the Abyss of Layered Rocks on hold for now. Originally, it was [Doctor] and [Rooster] who were working together and reporting directly to you, but now the country is also in a busy phase, so the information processing speed may be a bit slow for the time being."

Qin Ye knew that the young master had already fed these people all sorts of inspirational platitudes, so he decided to do something practical.

“Your team’s position makes it easy for information to be one-way, and the things that have happened in Liyue recently have been rather sudden. Now I’m giving you a new mission.”

"Yes!"

The best way to help someone temporarily forget the impact of something is to give them something else to do.

"Let me introduce you. This is a senior colleague from the Liyue General Affairs Department, currently the Seven Stars Secretary. In terms of seniority, she is far superior to me. She is currently in charge of the survey work in the Laminar Giant Abyss region. You will be working with her from now on, consider it as earning some extra money. I will personally write to let you know about [Rooster] after I finish my work, so you don't need to worry."

Qin Ye skillfully pushed Gan Yu to the front of the stage and gave her a brief introduction to everyone.

"Huh?!" The girl hadn't understood what was happening.

Wasn't my original purpose for coming here to accompany him and help him relax?

“They are all my most capable subordinates. Your subordinates are mostly volunteers and the rest of the Thousand Rock Army are in the harbor protecting Liyue. Their arrival time here is unknown. You can have them help with the clearing of Hilichurls and the like.”

Qin Ye explained with a smile that the soldiers of the Fools were highly disciplined and organized, and that they could find the problem and solve it quickly even without orders.

This will not only not burden Gan Yu with work, but will also greatly reduce the possibility of unexpected situations leading to loss of control, making her feel more at ease.

For the soldiers of the Fools, it was a welcome respite after working in the darkness for a month or two under the layers of rock.

"If all else fails, just send your pay stub to the Northern Bank; they'll reimburse you," Qin Ye whispered to Gan Yu.

"Well... okay then."
