“If it’s about transferring me to work at the Divination Commission, I personally don’t mind, but it’s mainly the Chief Strategist, the General, and the others…” Keqing said with a formulaic response.
Having worked at the Seat of Divine Foresight for so long, it seemed somewhat unrealistic to have him change places just like that.
So, it’s better to let the Grand Diviner ask the General.
If the General and the others were willing to let Keqing go to the Divination Commission, then he could just switch workplaces.
“If the General and the others would agree, I wouldn’t have called you over,” Fu Xuan said, followed by a sigh.
Since Keqing put it that way, he certainly wouldn’t change positions easily.
“It was my oversight back then.
Had I known your talent was so great, I would have definitely kept you in the Divination Commission,” Fu Xuan said with some distress.
“Grand Diviner, isn’t there already a talent in the Divination Commission now?
You just need to cultivate her well,” Keqing said, looking at Qingque, who was sneakily moving away nearby.
“Her?
Right now, she’s practically leading everyone else in the Divination Commission astray!” Fu Xuan said, quickly walking over to Qingque and giving her another rap on the head.
“Come with me.
I’ve applied to the General for you to help out at the Divination Commission for half a day today, so there’s no need to rush off,” Fu Xuan said to Keqing.
“Um, Grand Diviner, since you and Little Qing have things to discuss, there’s no need to drag me along, right?
I still have to go back to work,” Qingque tried to get Fu Xuan to release her hand.
“You still have to go back to work?
I think you’re going back to disturb everyone else’s work.
I’ve temporarily assigned your tasks to others, so just follow me,” Fu Xuan snorted.
“You’ve assigned my work to others?
Really?” Qingque immediately perked up.
Originally, she thought she would have to go back to work after Fu Xuan finished lecturing her.
Since the work had already been given to others, it didn’t make much difference whether she slacked off earlier or later.
It was just that having the Grand Diviner right beside her was a bit uncomfortable.
Anyway, the attention would be on Keqing.
Once the two of them started talking, she could just quietly slip away.
And the Grand Diviner even said her work for today had been assigned to others.
Doesn’t that mean she can sneak out to play jade marbles today!!
After arriving at Fu Xuan’s workplace, three cups of tea were already set out on the table where she received guests.
“When the General came to see me yesterday, he brought a document.
After reading it, I offered my insights.” “The General then mentioned that someone shared the same view as mine.” “How did you deduce it?” Fu Xuan looked at Keqing.
“There are various IPC products on the Xianzhou, and most people have a relatively good impression of the company.” “You said it’s beneficial in the short term but not sustainable in the long run.
What’s the reason for that?” “Does that need a reason?” Keqing asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Even though there are many products from the IPC on the Xianzhou, and many Xianzhou people have gone to work for the company…” “But no matter what, the IPC can’t act as a philanthropist forever.” “Since it has invested something, it will certainly want to get something back.” “I’ve also looked at the plan in the IPC’s document, and it’s not very suitable for us.” “Oh?
Not suitable for us?
Why?” Fu Xuan asked.
“Because the timeframe of the plan is too short.
For us, time is easily measured in centuries.” “The citizens living on the Xianzhou have already adapted to their current lives.
If something new suddenly arrives, the IPC will definitely promote their products very well.” “Local Xianzhou goods will gradually be squeezed out.
No matter how you look at it, it’s not good for the people of the Xianzhou.” Keqing spoke sentence by sentence, and his reasoning was different from what Fu Xuan had deduced.
Fu Xuan had read many more documents regarding the IPC, so she knew very well what the company was like.
Keqing’s deduction was entirely from the perspective of an ordinary citizen.
Although the processes were different, the results were the same.
“I’m thinking more and more highly of you.” Fu Xuan became increasingly interested in Keqing.
Keqing’s way of thinking still had some differences compared to ordinary Xianzhou people.
But this slight difference would be of great use when working in the Divination Commission.
“Grand Diviner, I’m already familiar with the work at the Seat of Divine Foresight.
If I were to come to the Divination Commission, I would have to start all over again,” Keqing replied.
“Yes, I know.
So, you can just continue working at the Seat of Divine Foresight.
When necessary, I’ll speak with the General to have you come and help at the Divination Commission,” Fu Xuan nodded.
“Alright, I have nothing else.
You can do whatever you want next.
If you’d like to take a look around the Divination Commission, just have Qingque show you around.” After Fu Xuan finished, she turned to look aside.
The seat where Qingque had been sitting was now empty…
While the two of them were talking, Qingque had already slacked off and slipped away unnoticed!
“Qingque!!!” Fu Xuan shouted through gritted teeth.
The little birds perched on the branches outside the window were all startled and fell off by Fu Xuan’s voice.
As for Qingque herself, she was already sitting at a gaming table in Aurum Alley…
“How come you’re out so early today?
Aren’t you afraid the Grand Diviner will punish you?” a fellow player at the table asked curiously.
“I have no work today!
I can play all day!” Qingque said with a face full of confidence.
“Want to play a few rounds?
I’ll give you my spot.” “You’re not playing anymore?” “I’ve been playing for a long time; I need to get up and stretch a bit.” After saying that, the person stood up.
The others at the table immediately said, “That’s not fair of you.
You’ve only lost a few rounds and you already want to run away.” “Oh, I’m getting old and can’t play with you all for that long.
I’ll be going now.
You guys have fun.” With that, the person quickly walked out of this secret gambling den they had built.
