Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

Who says people in winter don’t understand the ways of the world? This lady must be too knowledgeable!

"Also, you brought your girlfriend home, but you didn't tell me. That's really mean of you."

"To be honest, that girl is pretty and virtuous. She even paid for new windows and doors in your house. She's a good woman. Don't miss her."

Li Qingping did not avoid Keqing when he called, and when Keqing heard what Ren Siqian said, she was even more overjoyed, and she stepped on the accelerator to 50 mph without realizing it.

Miss, please take it easy!

Li Qingping didn't want to be a witness to Keqing's glorious deeds, so he quickly made a gesture of begging for mercy. After coaxing Keqing, he learned that it was the Abyss Cult that sent people to hunt him down at his home, but was eventually dealt with by Sister Gui Zhong.

The doors and windows were broken at that time.

The car speed finally returned to the range that Keqing was familiar with, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren Siqian is really bad at talking. Look how angry Keqing is!

"Say less, you almost killed me." Li Qingping picked up the phone again.

"what happened?"

"She and I are just good friends, you misunderstood."

In response to this, Ren Siqian just replied with a "hehe". He was an ace agent, so how could he not see what the girl was thinking?

"Whatever you say, but she's a good girl. You can decide for yourself. As your eldest brother, I'm voting for her."

Keqing's face, which had just darkened, instantly became bright because of this sentence, perhaps as bright as a cloudless sky with clear air.

This guy is really good at talking, talk more!

"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about what the lady asked you to convey." Li Qingping held his forehead with his hand, showing some helplessness.

"I told you to address her as Madam!" Ren Siqian reiterated. "The 'Non-Existent Flower' will be making moves in Liyue soon, so be careful. These are Madam's exact words. Your superiors should know what to do. I'm just delivering the message."

"understood."

If you really want to count, Li Qingping's boss should be the Liyue Seven Stars, but this information was exchanged between him and the lady in private, so he definitely cannot report it directly.

After thinking about it, he decided to pass the information to Ye Lan later and ask her to help keep an eye on it.

"By the way, since you can share intelligence with me, I guess you're doing well under Sister Lan and have joined the system. What level of intelligence officer are you now?"

Seeing that Ren Siqian hadn't shown off enough, Li Qingping smiled helplessly. He's addicted, right?

"Hey girl, what level am I now?" Li Qingping turned on the loudspeaker and handed the phone to Keqing.

Keqing rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "You're so boring!" But she still said cooperatively, "Director, shall we go straight back to Huishan Hall?"

"Oh, isn't this my sister-in-law's voice? The director is sitting next to you." Ren Siqian hadn't reacted yet.

The word "sister-in-law" touched Keqing's heart, and she told the truth directly.

"You can't boast as much as he does. Li Qingping is now the head of Huishan Hall. His status in Liyue is second only to your lady's in the Kingdom of Winter."

"What the hell! What's going on with you? Did you go and destroy the Layered Rock Abyss during the month you disappeared?" Ren Siqian was shocked.

"To be exact, I became director a month ago, and I was away on business for a month." Li Qingping laughed. "If I really could conquer the Layered Chasm, I'd probably become one of the Seven Stars of Liyue."

"You're exaggerating! Even a plane can't be that fast!" Ren Siqian could hear his disbelief even through the phone. "Could it be that our Prince Yan has a daughter, and she's attracted to your beauty? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense!"

"It's all based on real evidence. The story is very complicated. I'll discuss it in detail when I invite you to dinner. Don't tell anyone about the information. This is a private communication between me and the lady." Li Qingping gave another instruction.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingping edited the message and sent it to Ye Lan.

The other party replied that they received it and would check it later.

At this time, Keqing's car also drove to the parking lot of Huishan Hall.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the office building side by side.

"How have you been doing in Huishan Hall this month?" Li Qingping asked.

"I'm just a new clerk with no background, so naturally I do all the dirty work and get exploited the most." Keqing shrugged. "But I've gotten a general understanding of Huishan Hall's business processes and internal operations."

Well, no background.

Li Qingping suppressed a smile and nodded in appreciation: "Your ability is beyond reproach. My office director position is still vacant. I'll have someone clear it out for you later."

Keqing saw Li Qingping's little tricks clearly and glared at him again, "There's still corruption within Huishan Hall. Several powerful directors are making money."

"Sister Lan has arrested the former director, and they still dare to make money. Is it the same when I'm away for a month?" Li Qingping's face suddenly became solemn.

"No, the deputy director is keeping a close eye on them now. They are all old projects left over from the past."

"Where's the evidence?"

"There are still a few people left to collect."

"Okay, let's get this done this afternoon."

As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of Huishan Hall, where a middle-aged, overweight man with a worrying amount of hair stood guard. He simply glanced at others passing by without reacting, but it was upon seeing Keqing that he took action.

"Comrade Keqing, where have you been? You're out during working hours, and did you get permission from your supervisor? Where's your leave slip?"

"This guy is one of them. He's a real thief. I haven't found any evidence yet." Keqing lowered her voice. "He's our section chief's boss. He keeps bothering me and I can't get rid of him."

Li Qingping patted Keqing's shoulder to reassure her.

The eldest lady came to Huishan Hall for him, but was bullied. There was also a corruption issue involved, and as the director, he had to take care of everything.

"What's your name?" Li Qingping stood in front of Keqing and stopped the middle-aged man in front of him.

He hadn't seen this person at the last meeting. He must have some power, but his level was not high enough.

"Who are you? This is the Huishan Hall of Yujingtai. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter!" The man was arrogant and did not take the young man Li Qingping seriously at all.

"Boss, he's Director Shi from the Mineral Development Project Department of Huishan Hall." Keqing reminded him, and even changed the way she addressed Li Qingping.

Li Qingping raised his eyebrows, thinking that the eldest lady had been holding a grudge against him for a long time and hadn't even reported his position.

From now on, all the work in Huishan Hall will depend on the eldest lady, and this guy is not a good person. The eldest lady must avenge this!

"You won't let me in?" Li Qingping asked back.

"Of course!" Director Shi sneered. "Comrade Keqing, your actions have violated discipline. If you don't repent, I will report you to the director!"

"That director is also problematic." Keqing whispered in Li Qingping's ear.

Li Qingping exclaimed, "Wow, hey, it turns out he has a backer!"

It’s a pity that this is Huishan Hall and he is the boss.

Li Qingping didn't waste any time, took out his cell phone and called Wenyou.

"Sister, someone from your department stopped me outside the office building."

When Wen You, who was in a meeting, heard Li Qingping say the words "your hall", her heart sank. She quickly stopped the meeting and rushed to the door.

Seeing the deputy director lose his composure like this, everyone in the meeting room was stunned and hurriedly followed him.

Just like that, a group of Huishan Hall leaders followed Wen You to the first-floor lobby, where they happened to see Director Shi making rude remarks to Li Qingping.

"Director Wenyou, you're here at the right time. I stopped a sneaky guy who wanted to enter our Huishan Hall!" Director Shi's voice was deafening and could be heard clearly throughout the first floor.

Wen You's heart was completely chilled at this point.

Volume 1: 103. Keqing staff, watch carefully and learn well!

Where there are people, there are some strange unspoken rules. For example, when the principal is not around, the deputy's title is usually raised to the principal's.

Wen You is the unlucky guy. He is the deputy director, but he is called the director by a flattering junior director under him.

But now the guy is right here at the scene, and he was stopped by this little director!

The senior executives of Huishan Department who followed Wen You had all met Li Qingping before. When they saw that the person being stopped was actually their own director, they all felt their scalps tingling.

No wonder the deputy director who received the call was so anxious. How could he not be anxious?

"You have all been spoken to. Let him finish speaking. I want to see what is going on today." Li Qingping said calmly.

Since the director had spoken, Wen You and the other leaders behind him could only keep their "cordial" greetings to Director Shi in their hearts.

"Do you have the right to speak here?" Director Shi said confidently.

"We're all from Liyue, all subjects of Lord Yan. Why can't I speak? Then let me ask you, as a section chief, why are you standing here guarding the gate instead of doing your job?"

"...I'm checking attendance! Keqing went out without reason during working hours!"

Director Shi originally didn't want to reveal Keqing, but under Li Qingping's intention, he had to make it clear.

"I've asked for leave." Keqing retorted coldly.

"Your direct supervisor was on a business trip yesterday, and I didn't approve any note for you." Director Shi felt that the matter was settled. Although he didn't know why so many leaders came, it was confirmed that Keqing did not ask for leave, so he had a legitimate reason.

But in front of everyone, Keqing took out a leave note, paper and pen from her bag and handed them to the young man in front of her.

"Please sign it. I was too busy in the car just now and forgot to give it to you."

Li Qingping looked at the pre-printed leave note in his hand, and realized that Keqing had also prepared it in advance. He signed his name with a quick stroke of the pen.

"Director Shi, please take a look. This is Keqing's leave note." Li Qingping threw the light note precisely in Director Shi's face. "Sorry, I used too much force. Are you okay?"

"You!!" Director Shi was immediately furious, but due to the presence of many leaders, he could not lose his temper. "Director Xu, I think Keqing needs to be carefully evaluated!"

"It's Director Xu. He's that guy's backer." Keqing reminded Li Qingping.

After Keqing pointed her finger, and after being called out by Director Shi, Director Xu felt cold in his limbs and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Well... I think... Keqing is serious about her work and has excellent ability to get things done. She's a role model for us to learn from. I'll vote for her in this year's performance evaluation!" Director Xu opened his mouth instinctively, and all that came out was praise.

Damn it!

Now everyone can see that Keqing has a close relationship with the director. If you want him to carefully evaluate others, if you want to die, you can go find a dump truck on the road. There is no need to talk here.

"Why don't you just read it?" Keqing snorted. "Don't blame me, a small clerk, for not reminding you, the leader."

"Imitating the leader's signature, this matter can't be let go like this! Li Qingping... isn't this the director's name! Well, the director has given our Huishan Department a new life, and you, a kid, actually dared to impersonate him!" Director Shi seemed to have grasped some incredible evidence and was about to send it to Wen You.

"Ishikawa! Don't embarrass yourself in front of the director!" Wen You grabbed the leave application and pointed at Director Shi's nose and scolded him loudly.

The time was almost right, and Li Qingping acquiesced to Wen You's action.

"Director, you're joking. I..." Director Shi forced a smile.

"Director Ishikawa, let me emphasize again that I am the deputy director!" Wen You said coldly.

"The director you are talking about..." Director Shi was suddenly stunned.

"The director has been away for a month, so I went to bring him back. It's that simple." Keqing added fuel to the fire. "Isn't that right, Director Li?"

"I don't have many acquaintances in the hall. The few people whose contact information I have are all leaders with a lot of things on their hands, so I called Keqing. We knew each other before." Li Qingping explained to stand up for Keqing. His intention was nothing more than to show that this person is his confidant, and you should pay attention to her in the future.

The leaders behind Wen You finally understood why Keqing, with such an excellent written test score, was sent to Huishan Hall, which had been ranked last in performance appraisals for years. It turned out that their director had specially called her here.

"Deputy Director Wenyou, please deal with Director Shi. He likes to check attendance so much, why not let him check enough first."

Li Qingping said something lightly and left with Keqing, leaving the senior executives of Huishan Hall looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Deputy Director...I didn't know that was the Director!!" Director Shi's voice was trembling, his face was sad, and he had completely lost his previous arrogance.

"Now you know I'm the deputy director! You're idle during working hours, harassing female subordinates, and bullying others with just a little power! You're suspended from work and reflect on your actions. You can watch if the gate wants to!" Wen You was Gan Yu's subordinate and couldn't stand such a jerk. "Get back to work, it's working hours now!"

"Deputy Director, is it still open now?" someone asked.

"Not open!"

In the director's office, Keqing took some tea leaves prepared in advance by Li Qingping's subordinates from his desk and made herself a cup of tea.

"Miss, I've vented your anger for you, won't you give me a drink?" Li Qingping leaned back in the swivel chair.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I've drunk the tea from Secretary-General Yue Haiting's desk, and I've also drunk the tea from my grandfather's desk, but this is the first time I've drunk the director's tea!" There was no one around, so Keqing was not going to give Li Qingping face.

"You're here to earn achievements!"

“That’s a bit like that.”

The brewed tea leaves swell in the hot water, unrolling their curled leaves and emitting bursts of fragrance.

Keqing blew gently and took a sip of the tea on the top.

"It has a refreshing aroma and a sweet aftertaste. My colleagues are really attentive!"

She praised the tea on Li Qingping's table highly.

"Director Shi doesn't have many loyal subordinates in the office, so I can deal with them all at once." Li Qingping asked.
