...Judging from the sound of the collision, it seems to be her mother's solid object.
The three secretaries beside her were also a little flustered by the sound of Ye Lan rolling the dice.
What if Yelan really cracks open her master's skull?
Although the probability is very low, it's not impossible!
"What do you want to do?"
Ningguang looked at the iron dice in Yelan's hand, showing no fear on her face.
If Ye Lan really wanted to crack someone's skull open, she would never take out the murder weapon.
Right now, the probability of Ye Lan cracking her skull open with a stool is higher than the probability of cracking her skull open with dice.
"This is an iron die."
Ye Lan slapped the two iron dice in her hand, embedding them shallowly into the wooden table.
“I’m not blind,” Ningguang said, leaning on her head.
"It is also a power generation device."
Ye Lan gently tapped the dice. It sounded solid, but the outer shell of the dice lit up, and at the same time, it emitted a faint ring of electricity.
The two dice sparked and wobbled slightly—if they hadn't been embedded in the table, but placed in a small, bowl-like space, they might have started to wobble on their own.
—The burst of lightning may look weak, but if it actually hits a person, it might not feel so good.
On the other hand, would anyone actually use a die the size of a walnut?
"So it should be called the Colorful Electric Dice."
"Then?"
"This one, a nose hook."
A leather belt with two small hooks.
"...?" Ningguang was genuinely stunned when she saw this thing.
Ye Lan didn't give Ning Guang a chance to think, and said with a sneer, "If you don't explain things clearly and apologize today, I'll stuff these two down there and broadcast the points in real time, and I'll shove this one up your nose."
Did you really think that she came to Ningguang's door today after just finishing a business trip to report on her work and then discuss things in a nice and polite way?
"...Where did you come from?" Ningguang finally hesitated for a moment.
"The dice? I modified them myself. The nose hook was just a regular purchase."
Ye Lan's aura had now overwhelmed Ning Guang.
“Then Linghoumeng, I will cut open all the silk secrets of your clothes and make a rope from your favorite clothes, and lead you to Liu Bai.”
"...This is the first time I've known that Ms. Ye Lan is so perverted." Bai Xiao was now completely stiff.
"...Well, for a pervert, this is considered a relatively mild form of play?" Bai Shi blushed slightly—after all, she was a pervert.
"It doesn't look like something absurd at all," Baiwen remarked. "Besides, going a little deeper into the realm of perversion can easily turn into a crime, right?"
However, even the most excited of the three, Bai Shi, had no intention of rescuing Ning Guang.
Oh, well, that might not be entirely accurate. After all, Bai Shi might actually be hoping that Ning Guang would be reduced to that humiliating state by Ye Lan.
"...First of all, the reason I sent you on this business trip was for Liyue. You couldn't possibly not know that Schicksal also came during your business trip, right?"
Ningguang certainly couldn't admit that her main reason was that she was afraid this bastard would be shameless.
From Ningguang's personal perspective, this nose hook and the walnut-sized die that can electrocute and announce the numbers are incredibly humiliating...
These things seem like things Yelan likes.
—It turns out that Ningguang's choice was absolutely correct.
"Okay, I think this is fine."
Ye Lan nodded. She had actually noticed that Ning Guang was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but objectively speaking, she should indeed be the one to do this.
What upset her was that she had overheard some very enviable rumors about Liu Bai at the guesthouse.
For example, they would say things like everyone taking turns going to Liu Bai's room, and once they were inside, they would stay for an entire afternoon or evening.
There are also blind dates, dates, and the like.
Ningguang didn't tell her any of this!
In particular, some people had previously seen Ningguang pushing a small food cart into Liu Bai's room.
Tolerable or unbearable!
Well... although Yelan thought that she would kick Ningguang away if she had the chance, she didn't have any strong condemnation.
However, necessary condemnation is required!
Then there's Ningguang's sly smile when she walked in—this seemingly insignificant thing is actually what Yelan cares about most right now.
How many years have Yelan and Ningguang been best friends?
In terms of duties, Yelan can even be considered Ningguang's personal bodyguard.
To put it bluntly, Ye Lan could tell whether Ning Guang had relieved herself just by the way she turned her backside up.
That smug smile was definitely a sign that the bastard was about to run away!
"So, the next question—what were you laughing about just now?"
"I just... I was feeling sleepy and someone brought me a pillow."
Ningguang spoke in a calm tone, which made her seem very persuasive.
“There’s a great opportunity to get close to Mr. Liu Bai, and I’m going to take you around.”
Ningguang was planning to take it all for herself, but Yelan's unexpected appearance made her give up.
We can't really gamble on whether Ye Lan will dare to keep her word, can we?
It should be noted that Yelan is also a person with both S and M personality traits.
No, even before meeting Liu Bai, Ye Lan was the kind of person who liked to hit people, and her masochistic tendencies mainly involved seeking thrills through extreme sports... It's actually difficult to define whether this behavior constitutes a masochistic behavior.
Ningguang needs a face.
If Ye Lan were to lead him by a rope and appear before Liu Bai in that humiliating manner...
So, she can only abandon all shame and live her life with Liu Bai entirely as a woman, right?
...Well, it seems that as long as you're shameless, it's not a bad thing?
Ningguang gained a deeper understanding of the saying "A shameless person is invincible".
...So, is Ye Lan really not going to care about saving face?
"What opportunity?" Ye Lan asked curiously upon hearing Ning Guang's words.
“Liu Bai is recruiting maids.” Ningguang saw that Ye Lan was interested and didn’t hide anything, answering directly.
"Isn't this the job you assigned me before?"
Ye Lan suddenly felt bored.
But he still managed to tidy up the things on the table.
As long as Ningguang supports me, Ningguang will be my best friend! No, I mean, my best older sister!
"It's different from before. Before, when you went there, did you really think you could stay by Liu Bai's side?"
"Sure! I'm shameless."
“…” Ningguang sighed and put her hand to her forehead.
Suddenly, I realized I couldn't win an argument with Ye Lan.
"All I can say is that you'll be beaten to death by Liu Bai's people sooner or later. Do you really think anyone will acknowledge you as their maid?"
Ningguang dropped her act and spoke up in a rather irritable tone.
"It's not like I'll physically kill you." Ye Lan pouted. What do you mean by "kill you"? It's just an adjective. "Okay, anyway, I get what you mean—so is it okay now?"
"Alright, since we're now establishing a formal department, a legitimate maid department, so we can legitimately stay by Liu Bai's side..."
"To serve?"
Ye Lan was instantly wide awake.
She wants to play the exciting Elephant Tribe game with Liu Bai right now.
“There’s no word yet on whether there’s any work in that area.” Ningguang glanced at Yelan, cursing her inwardly, “But this is something that can’t be discussed openly—that’s the unspoken rule.”
"Oh, so Liu Bai can sexually harass us?"
"...Stop focusing on the important points!"
Ningguang tapped on the table.
Ningguang would never normally do such vulgar things, but now that she's chatting with her best friend, she doesn't mind even if there are three secretaries listening nearby.
If they hadn't heard this, it would have been fine, but now that they have, these three shouldn't run away. The maidservant is here.
This was originally intended for Ye Lan, alas...
The three secretaries listening intently were completely unaware that Ningguang's malice had extended to them.
"Oh, I get it! It means you can do it secretly."
Ye Lan also came to her senses and nodded.
"...That's roughly how it can be understood."
Point B is within yourself. When someone is in front of you, if you really get a chance to be alone, do you still need to think about it?
Using your lower body instead of thinking is enough.
“But this isn’t entirely a good thing either.” Ningguang poured cold water on Yelan’s excitement.
"...A lot of people are competing?"
"Although I haven't asked, there will be a lot, a lot of them if nothing unexpected happens."
Not counting Ningguang, there are only five people in this office.
"What about the vacant positions?" Ye Lan's expression turned serious, finally revealing the heroic bearing befitting a descendant of a hero.
(...I really wish I could see Yelan like this somewhere else.)
Ningguang herself hadn't seen Yelan's dashing appearance in a long time.
It turned out it was all for the purpose of climbing into someone's bed...
This person probably already used Happy Beans to replace thinking, right?
"The vacancy is unclear. I didn't ask, but it should depend on how Mr. Liu Bai arranges it."
How many people do you estimate?
"Considering rotations, various divisions of labor, and the original work... around ten people? Less would be too few, and there can't be too few when there are too many monks and not enough porridge. If there are more, say twenty or thirty, it will affect normal work. But no matter what, there aren't enough positions to go around."
"Really? I think ten is quite a lot."
"Is it a lot?" Ningguang asked in return.
There were only enough seats for about ten people, not even enough for the Liyue family to share!
Don't forget that her intelligence also includes Ke Qing and others.
If it were Ke Qing from half a month ago, she would have scoffed at this kind of thing, and even stood up to Liu Bai like a loyal minister.
But now... she'd rather not get involved in this mess...
"No matter what, it's easier than taking the civil service exam," Ye Lan said, making a realistic joke.
However, Ye Lan still understood.
"It seems like there are an unusually large number of people preparing to participate?"
"Well, you can think of it as you having to compete with everyone in our alliance for these ten spots."
Do you have a backdoor?
Ye Lan looked at Ning Guang and suddenly asked.
