After work in the afternoon.
Before Keqing could call Qingque on her communication device, Qingque called her first.
“Little Qing…” Qingque’s voice was listless, sounding as if she were on the verge of death.
“What’s wrong?
Didn’t manage to slack off all day today?” Keqing said directly.
There was a moment of silence from Qingque’s side.
“Little Qing, how can you just rip open my scars like that?” “If you had listened to me last night, hadn’t been late today, and had properly apologized to the Grand Diviner, perhaps you could have still slacked off today.” “I was wrong…” Qingque said, somewhat dejectedly.
“Alright, if you’re afraid of forgetting again, set your alarm for tomorrow right now.” Keqing said, sighing.
“Honestly, I’ve only been away from home for one day, and you’re already oversleeping this much.
Now I don’t even know how long I’ll have to stay at the Seat of Divine Foresight.” “Are you going to be late every single day just because I’m not home?” “Little Qing, I won’t be able to go home for a while either.” Qingque said, sounding a bit sad.
Her communication device, which she used specifically for playing qiongyu tiles, was still sitting at home.
And her body pillow and pillow; although she wasn’t particularly picky about beds, she had to have her own pillow and body pillow.
She would have to go home for a bit later to retrieve these things.
“You can’t go home either?
Is the Grand Diviner making you stay at the Divination Commission?” Keqing asked, stunned for a moment.
“Yeah, work might be very busy lately.
The Grand Diviner said there could be work at any time, so she told me to stay at the Divination Commission for now.” After saying this, Qingque sighed.
As expected, the bad omen from the divination last night was truly dire.
It meant she would have to work continuously for a long time.
“Given the situation, I won’t even be able to slack off at all lately.” “Little Qing, I want to resign…” “How do you think Auntie Qing would feel if you resigned?” Keqing interrupted Qingque’s fantasy directly.
If Qingque’s family found out that she had finally landed a stable job only to quit just because she wanted to slack off, they would probably give her a good thrashing.
“In any case, it’ll be fine once this busy period passes.
Once things settle down, we can go back home.” Keqing said, nodding to a Cloud Knight who greeted her.
“Do you know what’s happening?
Let me tell you.” Qingque looked left and right, and after confirming no one was eavesdropping, she moved the communication device closer to her mouth.
“The data the Grand Diviner gave me today was mostly for calculating the surrounding environment.” “It feels like something is about to happen, and they plan to change the Xianzhou’s course.” Qingque whispered.
“Yes, I do know a little, but it doesn’t concern us that much.
We just need to finish our own work.” Keqing said.
“Of course I know that if something big happens, it has nothing to do with a low-level Diviner like me, but you’re different, Little Qing.” “Your work at the Seat of Divine Foresight is almost on par with the Chief Strategist.” “If something really happens, I’m really afraid the Seat of Divine Foresight will transfer you somewhere else.” Qingque said, somewhat dejectedly.
If Keqing were really transferred elsewhere, could she truly continue working at the Divination Commission?
When it came down to it, besides her slack-off buddies and card-playing friends, Keqing was the person she cared about most.
Even her family thought highly of Keqing.
When she first rented the apartment, she just told her family she was living with Keqing, and her parents agreed immediately.
“What is there to worry about?
Even if I were transferred elsewhere, it would only be for a while.
The Seat of Divine Foresight is only so big; they wouldn’t transfer me away and never let me come back, would they?” Keqing said.
“Meanwhile, since you’re already staying at the Divination Commission, you might as well work properly for a while.” “Perhaps if you perform well, the Grand Diviner won’t mind if you slack off appropriately during work breaks.” “Alright, alright, I know, you nagging Mother Keqing.” Qingque muttered.
“If I tell Auntie Qing what you just said, be careful, she might actually make you my goddaughter.” Keqing chuckled.
“No way!
Honestly!
Be serious for once!
Anyway, once this busy period is over, we have to go back and tidy up our home together.” Qingque said seriously.
“Mm.” Hearing Keqing’s voice, Qingque felt relieved.
However, with all this recent work, something big really was about to happen.
While working, Qingque had calculated many things.
The data the Grand Diviner gave her wasn’t just from the Xianzhou’s own detection.
There was also data from various warships and reconnaissance ships.
All this data indicated that something big was about to happen.
Otherwise, the General wouldn’t have stayed at the Divination Commission for so long.
Although Qingque liked to slack off, she was actually quite sharp.
Just like how when she was late for work or slacked off during less busy times, even if the Grand Diviner discovered it, she wouldn’t say much.
Because she would always complete her work at the appropriate time.
It wasn’t that the Grand Diviner hadn’t considered promoting her.
It was just that every time she used slacking off to make some mistakes, so in the eyes of others, she remained that Little Diviner who loved to slack off.
“Phew, finished talking to Little Qing.
How am I going to survive the bitter days ahead…” Qingque said, slumping onto the table in a dejected manner.
Given the situation at the Divination Commission right now, she couldn’t possibly slack off properly.
The Grand Diviner and the General were both at the Divination Commission; if she slacked off right in front of them, would she be fired immediately?
Resigning voluntarily and being fired were two very different things.
If she really lost her job, would Little Qing support her?
Qingque thought nonsensically.
After lying on the table for a short while, Qingque walked toward home with heavy steps.
She had to go home to get her things, but should she stop by to buy a set of qiongyu tiles on the way?
After all, if she didn’t have time to go out and find those card-playing friends, developing some new ones within the Divination Commission didn’t seem like a bad idea.
The excuse for getting them to play cards could be that qiongyu tiles help train their divination speed?
