Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

"That's the only thing you don't have to worry about." Keqing took another sip, feeling refreshed.

"why?"

"Everyone in the hall, especially the staff below, are now your die-hard supporters."

"Am I the Prince of Rock again?"

"Why is it Lord Yan?"

"Why else would they support me, a parachuted-in director who hasn't even shown his face? If I were Prince Yan, then it would make sense."

"Oh, that's what I mean. You really do look a bit like Prince Yan."

Li Qingping: ???

"Don't say such outrageous words. I, Li Qingping, am a loyal minister of Liyue!"

"I know you're a good person, but you're now treating the lower-level staff of Huishan Hall like the equivalent of Lord Yan."

"Tell me in detail!" Li Qingping sat up straight.

"Huishan Hall's performance appraisals have ranked last in the eight categories for years. Do you know why?" Keqing looked at Li Qingping.

“Corruption?”

"That's right! Sister Lan is very busy and has to take care of everything, but since she took office, she has come to Huishan Hall for a few days every year to check and then send a group of people in."

"She's trying to improve her performance here!" Li Qingping was speechless.

"Yeah, it's all about boosting performance. Corruption in Huishan Office is so easy to catch; they just sent the previous director to jail," Keqing said with a smile. "Major corruption cases break out every year, so some of the lower-level employees in Huishan Office haven't even seen performance bonuses since they started."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it does! You're the director here, and you've made such great contributions outside, so naturally you'll be rewarded by the higher-ups!"

"The full performance bonus?"

"Your contribution is enormous! It's 50% more than the full amount!"

The salaries of civil servants in Liyue are not very high, not to mention the lack of performance bonuses.

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. The previous leaders of Huishan Hall were indeed too unethical. They were only concerned with making money for themselves and left almost no way for those below them to survive.

But Li Qingping is different. He works hard outside, and the staff of Huishan Hall follow behind him to receive their bonuses. Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows who to support.

"That's why I said that you are now equivalent to Prince Yan of Huishan Hall. Your words are so effective!" Keqing had already drunk half a cup of hot tea.

Since ancient times, being sidelined has always been a bottom-up issue, but it is different in the Huishan Hall now. It is other leaders who have been sidelined by Li Qingping. If there really is a conflict, all his subordinates will help Li Qingping.

"You worked so hard to earn this. Most people don't have this ability."

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss."

There was a knock on the door.

"Director, I'm Wenyou."

"come in."

When Wen You walked in, he saw that Li Qingping's desk was empty, and the clerk Keqing was leaning on the sofa with a cup of tea in her hand, looking very cool.

"Let me check the temperature for the director!" Keqing quickly stood up and handed the half-drunk cup of tea in her hand to Li Qingping.

Haha, now you know to use me as a shield!

Li Qingping drank the half cup of tea in one gulp, and invited Wenyou to take a seat, but he did not mention Keqing, and asked her to stand aside.

Keqing stood behind Wenyou, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

You really drink it!

"Director, why didn't you inform us of such a big thing as your return?" Wen You felt a little embarrassed. She finally understood that the clerk behind her was probably the future director's wife.

No notification at all?

Li Qingping looked at Keqing meaningfully.

Miss, what's going on?

Now that I’ve been notified, how can I vent my anger?

You are plotting against me.

What kind of calculation is this? This is called tacit cooperation!

Tell me how to compensate me.

....I'm already working for you, what compensation do you want!

The two of them communicated with each other in secret and finally reached an agreement on the terms.

——From now on, the first thing Keqing would do when she entered the house was to serve tea and water to Li Qingping.

"I told them not to notify them because I wanted to see how Huishan Hall performed. Sister Wenyou, it's shocking!"

Li Qingping is young, but he is a veteran actor. His grief-stricken look moved Wen You to tears. He said that he was sorry for Director Li's trust and Gan Yu's cultivation.

Li Qingping stopped while he was ahead and started talking about other things.

"Let Keqing do the work of office manager and secretary, but don't give her a corresponding position. Find an empty office near me, take down the sign, and assign her to work there first. I'll report the situation to the higher-ups, and you don't have to worry about being held accountable."

"Have Mingbo and Jiaqiang bring me all the documents and accounts related to the projects handled by Director Shi and Director Xu. I want to check them myself."

The director’s wife is confirmed!

Wen You quickly implemented the arrangements regarding Keqing, and the relevant documents and accounts were delivered to Li Qingping as soon as possible, in two large stacks, each half a meter high.

"Is that how you see it?" Keqing couldn't help but murmur when she saw Li Qingping spread out more than ten documents in front of her at once.

Wenyou had already left, and now there were only the two of them in the room. Keqing had transformed herself from a small clerk into a young lady.

"Acting Secretary Keqing, pour me some tea, then step aside and watch and learn carefully."

Keqing then remembered that she had signed an unequal treaty, especially in this office, where her life depended entirely on Li Qingping's mood.

She pouted and ran to make tea for Li Qingping. When she came back, she saw Li Qingping manipulating the elemental power to flip through the documents in front of him at a fast speed, just like when she played with the Xinhua Dictionary as a child. He flipped through the documents in a flash and could not see what was written on them at all.

You call this looking at documents?

Keqing was dumbfounded.

Li Qingping maintained this pace, occasionally taking out a few copies from the table and placing them in front of him.

He really didn't know how to check accounts and read documents, but he had an expert in his head.

——Lei Dian Zhen, who claims to have the talent to govern the country.

Li Qingping had just been looking through the documents for her, and Lei Dian was no exaggeration. He had finished reading all the documents and accounts in less than ten minutes, and had even picked out the parts that were most likely to be problematic.

Li Qingping asked her why she was so confident. Lei Dianzhen laughed and said that these were all left over from previous generations.

He also asked what happened to those who came before him.

Lei Dianzhen smiled again and replied that she had chopped them all.

Li Qingping was shocked and quickly asked Keqing to find Qian Wei.

As soon as Qian Wei entered the door, he began to express his respect for Li Qingping and directly ignored Keqing who was standing beside him.

"Director, I, Qian Wei, have only ever obeyed one person in my life, and from now on, you are the second one!"

"Stop flattering me. How's your work going with the last time I asked you to allocate personnel and build a team?"

"There was some resistance at the beginning, but we managed to get everyone together after some bumps and bruises. Later, everyone heard about your deeds and admired you so much that many people blocked my office door and begged me to let them join the group." Qian Wei was beaming with joy. He was really good at talking, and it was the first time he enjoyed such treatment as being the center of attention.

“Are they all reliable?”

"There is no grassroots staff in Huishan Hall who does not obey your orders."

"Okay, arrange for them to go to these mines and inspect these projects on the spot."

Li Qingping pushed the file that popped up separately to Qian Wei.

"Understood!" Qian Wei picked up the documents and walked out.

Li Qingping took the teacup from Keqing's hand and took a sip slowly: "The tea is still warm!"

"Are you serious?" Keqing didn't doubt Li Qingping, but what just happened was too magical and she couldn't believe it.

"Don't worry, the nearest mineral deposit is right next to Liyue City. We'll have results in two hours at the earliest."

Li Qingping underestimated the enthusiasm of his subordinates. An hour and a half later, Qian Wei ran in panting.

"Director, you are truly amazing!"

I squinted my eyes, but I was late and owed 1.5

Volume 1: 104. Shen He: That kind of thing can only be done in college, so...

"Our people conducted a surprise inspection of the mine near Dunyu Mausoleum and found that the mine's safety measures were practically non-existent!"

"It's just a paper helmet, and the workers have to pay for it out of their own pockets!"

"The mine doesn't even have ventilation!"

"Which bastard in the department approved this production safety license?"

Qian Wei was so angry that his face turned red. When he said this, he wanted to drag the guy who approved the application out and throw him into the mine, making him dig in that harsh environment for ten days or half a month.

After listening to the report, Li Qingping felt a chill down his spine.

These people really deserve to die!

"Go and detain Director Xu and Director Shi first. I'll report the situation to Qixing."

"Understood, Director!"

After Qian Wei left the house, Li Qingping asked Keqing for her grandfather's phone number and reported the whole matter to Old Yuhengxing. He also said that there was sufficient evidence and they could take action at any time.

Old Yuhengxing was furious and decided to take charge of the matter himself. He immediately arranged for the Liyue Police Station to dispatch officers, seal off the mine involved and arrest the relevant personnel.

"You haven't been blinded by the honor in front of you. You've done a great job in clearing out the hidden dangers in your department," Old Yuhengxing sighed. "This is all old Huishan Hall stuff, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Finding it out early and avoiding any casualties is the best outcome right now." Li Qingping shook his head. "Whether I'm involved or not is not important."

"It's good to have this kind of awareness, girl, you should learn from it." Old Yuhengxing guessed that Keqing was eavesdropping nearby.

"I think the same as he does, okay! You can't always help outsiders!" Keqing replied.

"Keqing, junior clerk, please pay attention to the tone you use when speaking to your superiors." Li Qingping stood up.

"Oh! You are the director, you have the final say." Keqing rolled her eyes at Li Qingping, snatched the tea she had made for him, and drank it in big gulps.

I'm thirsty for you!

"Haha, I finally found someone who can take care of her." Old Yuhengxing smiled and said, "You guys need to avoid suspicion in this matter. Just provide the information and don't interfere. Leave the rest to me."

"I understand. I have something else I want to mention to you." Li Qingping took the opportunity to tell him about his arrangements for Keqing.

"That's customary. Your predecessors who inherited the Demon God's legacy and became department heads all did so. Prince Yan also supports this. He calls this a wise successor."

"Then I feel relieved." Li Qingping hung up the phone.

Not long after, Li Qingping and Keqing watched the police car roaring towards them.

Director Shi and Director Xu were pushed in front of the police by Qian Wei. Half of Director Shi's shoe fell off, and Director Xu's collar was torn open. The two men looked extremely miserable, like dogs that had lost their homes.

"You are so cruel, now it's your retribution!" Keqing snorted, and her mood improved a lot. Seeing the empty cup in her hand, she remembered the unequal treaty she signed, and turned around to pour a glass of water for Li Qingping.

"Miss, you poured three cups of water into this cup, but you only drank one and a half. Now the tea leaves have no taste. Have you finally remembered me?"

"...Just tell me whether you want to drink or not!"

"I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat in the cafeteria at Huishan Hall at this time?"

Li Qingping glanced at Fontaine Heart. It was almost one in the afternoon. Including the breakfast he missed at Zhudianfang, he really hadn't eaten for 30 days.

"By the way, it's time to return this watch to you."

"Is it really this watch that protected you and brought you back safely?" Keqing did not mention returning the watch, but instead asked whether the watch really protected Li Qingping.

“It’s definitely a credit to be able to come back.”
