Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

"He hates you to death. Every time he sees you talking to Shen He, it's like asking for his life. You're just a part-time employee hired by the Debo Hotel. It will be troublesome if they come after you. I'm doing this by retreating to advance. He Qun hasn't even passed the fifth level of the simulated Abyss. I'm not afraid of him at all." After saying that, Xingqiu made a hand gesture towards me, which touched Li Qingping quite a bit.

"It doesn't matter if I don't make the money," Li Qingping said. "I've found a very reliable boss, and this part-time job is probably the last I'll have."

"Don't worry, young man. I've long disliked him. He relies on his family's money to do evil things in school. Today, I will enforce justice and put a dent in his arrogance." Xingqiu walked up to He Qun. "Do you dare to take it?"

How could he handle this? He Qun still didn't know how much he was capable of. Even if he practiced for another year, he wouldn't be enough for Xingqiu to handle.

Everyone in the banquet hall focused their attention on the conflict between the two. People were whispering to each other, and many had already started betting with their close friends on who would win.

One side was calm and composed, while the other side blushed, and the guests overwhelmingly pressured Xingqiu.

"I won't fight with you! Get out of the way, I'm looking for Li Qingping!" He Qun was furious.

"Hey, that's not right. You can't take it out on someone else just because a girl ignores you. How can you have a girlfriend if you're like that?" Xingqiu sighed, seemingly genuinely feeling something. If someone uninformed came by, they'd probably think he was worried about He Qun.

"Stop talking nonsense here! Where is the manager? Is this how the Debo Hotel serves its customers? Miss Keqing hasn't even arrived yet, and your employees have already messed up the cocktail party. Who will dare to spend money here in the future?" He Qun shouted at the top of his voice.

The manager squeezed through the crowd and arrived late.

Xingqiu frowned and whispered, "This incident started because of me. We must not let this happen to us. If things don't go well, we should withdraw. I'll make up for your part-time job."

Li Qingping shook his head: "If he recognizes me, he will still cause trouble. It has nothing to do with you, so don't even mention the idea of ​​paying him back."

"Sir, do you have any questions?" The manager calmly put the phone that received the instruction into his pocket and gave He Qun a professional smile.

"Not only did he throw cups around, he also hit people. You have to give me an explanation. Otherwise, I will go find my father, Mr. Maocai, and I will never consider you for any banquets in the future!" He Qun looked at Li Qingping viciously, and in his mind he had already imagined the scene where the other party was forced by the manager to apologize to him and then got out of the hotel in disgrace.

"It was clearly him who wanted to hit me, but your good employee stopped him and protected my safety! What Maocai Gong? My home is still Feiyun Logistics!" Xingqiu retorted.

Isn’t it just introducing yourself? Who can’t do that?

The two businesses were equally matched, and it was indeed He Qun's slander that had Li Qingping in the right, but Xingqiu still looked solemn.

On the other hand, He Qun was gloating: "How are you going to deal with this matter?"

If you want to pursue fairness and justice, you should go to court, but when doing business, you seek stability. As long as it does not touch on issues of principle, you often have to sacrifice insignificant interests to give an explanation.

Li Qingping knew that he was the so-called "insignificant person", a poor man living in Chihuyan and a temporary worker. If it weren't for Lao Yuheng's outrageous demands, he would not be here.

The experience at the Debo Hotel would most likely end with me being scolded and fired, and then the drinking party would continue.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to resign on your own initiative. The money is too high and you can't earn anything.

Li Qingping memorized He Qun's appearance in his mind, pulled off his headphones and prepared to quit.

Although Liyue has good security, it's normal to get beaten up when walking at night, right?

"Our Debo Hotel can open from Fontainebleau to Liyue based on being pragmatic, and this guest seems to have some conflicts with our hotel's philosophy." The manager took the tablet handed to him and held it high to show the guests around him.

The tablet displayed the surveillance footage from the banquet hall, and He Qun's funny and angry look was widely publicized.

The situation was different from what Li Qingping had expected. The manager chose to confront He Qun head-on.

"Hey, this couldn't be a relative of yours, could it?" Xingqiu also noticed something.

"How come I didn't know there was such a relative?" said Li Qingping.

"Then why is he willing to risk offending Lord Maocai by speaking for you?"

"It means he is kind."

Xingqiu rolled his eyes, knowing the possibility was slim, but he couldn't help but praise the manager's actions: "From now on, the Debo Hotel will be Feiyun Logistics' first choice!"

The manager beside him was delighted when he heard this. He had originally planned to sacrifice Li Qingping to settle the matter peacefully.

But who knew that the eldest lady next to him suddenly gave instructions to stand up for the young man named Li Qingping.

Judging from the reactions of the wealthy young men and women around, the Debo Hotel has established a good reputation. I think the business will not be affected in the future even if Mr. Maocai is gone.

"Say it again?! Are you sure you want to stand up for this peasant? The total value of everything on his body is no more than two hundred Mora. Any piece of cloth I tear off from my body is worth more than him!" He Qun was stunned. He didn't expect this would be the outcome.

Between his father's money and the poor guy in front of him, even a fool would know how to choose!

"I'll offer you 1000 million Mora. Will you sell your watch?" a clear voice came from the crowd.

"Not for sale!" He Qun said angrily.

The market value of the watch on his hand is 200 million Mora. If he could sell it for 1000 million, it would be a huge profit. But unfortunately, the watch belongs to his father, and He Qun would not dare to act on his own even if he had a hundred courage.

"I didn't ask you, I asked the guy who was chatting well with your goddess."

"You bastard!" He Qun's eyes swept in the direction of the voice and saw Keqing. "Are you looking for death?"

He didn't know Keqing, he just thought that the person in front of him was a beauty, but now no beauty was as important as his face.

"Sell it?" Keqing ignored He Qun and continued to ask.

Is this how rich people spend their money?

Li Qingping has gained some experience, but this watch.

"No sale." Li Qingping refused.

"What about 2000 million?" Keqing wiped her mouth slowly.

"This belongs to my friend, I'm really not selling it." Li Qingping explained.

"Tsk, that's such a good friend, he's willing to lend me even this thing." Keqing said regretfully.

What kind of watch is this that is worth 2000 million?

Not only Li Qingping, but everyone around was very curious, but they couldn't get closer due to face.

Xingqiu was close by and took a closer look, and it turned out that he had actually seen it.

"Isn't this Shen He's?" Xingqiu lowered his voice.

The people on the side were extremely curious and pricked up their ears but couldn't make out anything.

"She lent it to me today to check the time," said Li Qingping.

Xingqiu had an expression that said, "I see." He nodded repeatedly without saying anything else.

"Don't misunderstand!" Li Qingping hurriedly explained.

"No misunderstanding, what could I possibly misunderstand?" Xingqiu waved his hand. "I understand everything!"

You know nothing!

"Idiot, this piece of junk is worth 2000 million Mora? Your family will be ruined by you sooner or later!" After a series of blows, He Qun has lost his mind and now bites whoever he catches.

"You are the idiot, your whole family is idiot." Keqing said and let out a long sigh.

So cool!

Grandpa is right, sometimes you just have to experience life.

"This watch contains many secret mechanisms. There are only two in the world, and they were created by the immortal master Liuyun Jiefeng." Keqing explained the origin of the item. "How about you spend 2000 million Mora to buy one?"

Li Qingping took another look at the watch that Shen He had borrowed from him. If this watch was truly made by an immortal, then Shen He's identity must be quite extraordinary.

The second young master of Feiyun Logistics who is obsessed with martial arts and the desk mate of the one in front of him who casually lends out the things of the immortals, there are so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers around him!

"I said I bought it at the mall!" He Qun shouted, "Who knows if you're lying?"

"Half a year ago, I went to Yuehai Pavilion and ran into the Secretary-General. This is what she told me." Keqing said slowly.

The surroundings suddenly became noisy. Ganyu, the secretary general of Yuehaiting, was one of the few immortals standing on the stage in Liyue. Anyone with a little common sense knew that she was a disciple of Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng.

"Going in and out of Yuehai Pavilion? What a joke! That's where the Seven Stars hold meetings! Who do you think you are! And you said you've met Lord Ganyu, but I think you're just lying!" He Qun was still struggling.

"He is not welcome here, kick him out." Keqing was too lazy to waste words.

He Qun sneered. The host of the party hadn't even shown up, so he wanted to see who could kick him out.

"Okay, Ms. Keqing." The manager was very considerate and revealed Keqing's identity at this time.

The banquet hall was silent, and everyone looked at the woman in front of them with fiery eyes.

Is she Keqing? No wonder those guys who were tangling with each other just now were kicked out. Li Qingping's eyes didn't linger on Keqing for too long, but turned their attention to the watch on his wrist.

To be precise, it was his old desk mate who had worked there for more than ten years.

Shen He is willing to lend such a valuable thing to him just by asking for it. Could it be that he is really interested in him?

Oh no, it’s a heart-pounding feeling!

Li Qingping, Li Qingping, you still have to make money to support that spendthrift woman Lei Dianzhen!

Falling in love will only slow down your pace of making money, you have to wake up!

Taking a deep breath, Li Qingping temporarily calmed his mind.

The troublemaker He Qun was carried out by security, and the cocktail party continued as usual.

And around Keqing, there were already three circles of people surrounding her.

Men and women raised their drinks and introduced themselves one by one.

As a party involved in the incident, Xingqiu thought that everyone would gather around Keqing, but who knew that Li Qingping was also surrounded by a crowd.

"Little brother, I am..."

"Let me make friends, I am..."

"..."

There are just as many people on Keqing's side as there are on her side, all wanting to use Li Qingping to establish a relationship with the immortal.

Li Qingping was at a loss for words. He responded with a few words and then found an opportunity to squeeze out.

"Run!" Li Qingping pulled Xingqiu out.

"Young man, this is like 'When you are poor in a busy city, no one cares about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.'" Xingqiu teased.

"I'd rather be poor."

Li Qingping and Xingqiu quietly walked to the door of the banquet hall and saw Keqing playing with a hairpin.

The divine eye on Keqing's body was shining with lightning. She was using elemental power to escape.

"Would you mind staying a little longer?" Keqing raised her eyes and looked straight at Li Qingping.

"I don't mind!" Xingqiu stood in front, then secretly grabbed Li Qingping's clothes, signaling him to leave quickly.

"I'm talking about that person." Keqing walked around Xingqiu. "I helped you out. I think we should have time to chat, right?"

"Does this count as slacking off during work hours?" Li Qingping said helplessly.

Now that they have said so, it would be inappropriate to refuse. Besides, Li Qingping doesn't want to owe anyone a favor for nothing.

"It counts as overtime, double the pay."

Keqing led Li Qingping to a corner of the banquet hall, leaving Xingqiu alone.

Xingqiu gasped as he saw the two people walking away.

He stopped Keqing just now not because of admiration or because he was reluctant to see his classmate succeed, but because he was asked to do so by someone!

"Lady! The situation has changed. Young Master Li has fallen into the hands of the evil witch from the Demon Sect!" Xingqiu flipped through a long list of contacts and sent a message to someone he chose from the ones he didn't contact often.

"My family is in danger!" Xingqiu added, "I'll do my best to bring you back intact!"

……

……

……

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed. There was a man and a woman alone, and the atmosphere in the corner was a little ambiguous.

"Thank you, Miss Keqing, for what happened just now," said Li Qingping.

"Which immortal master in Liyue are you a disciple of?" Keqing asked directly without any nonsense.

Which immortal master?

Li Qingping looked confused.

His job report at the Yanshang Teahouse was all bullshit! He was not some kind of immortal disciple.

"Miss Keqing, you must have misunderstood. This is truly my friend's." Li Qingping smiled bitterly. "I'm still thinking about how to ask her tomorrow."

Really? I don't believe it.

Keqing had this expression on her face right now, but she kept staring at Li Qingping for a long time without seeing any problem.

Could it be true? Even if it were true, that would be fine.
