"I only know a little bit, and my understanding is very superficial. I hope Miss Ningguang will forgive my ignorance."
Ningguang looked at him, her eyes shining even brighter.
Such an outstanding talent...
If it weren't for his special status, she would have loved to bring him under her wing.
Chapter 210 Knowledge is Power
Five p.m.
The shop closed down and waited until all the customers had left before Zhu Zi closed the door.
The girls started cleaning.
Bai Shi stood alone at the entrance to the back hall, listening to the faint, strange sounds coming from inside, his expression somewhat unnatural.
The matter concerning Lady Ningguang...
The girls, who had been through similar experiences, smiled and told her, "Don't worry, that's just how massages are."
Bai Shi blushed and nodded, "Oh."
Inside the back hall.
Ningguang lay on the small bed, and Xia Zhi gently pressed her shoulders with both hands.
"Your shoulder joints are a bit stiff, just like Miss Gan Yu's, it's all because you've been sitting for too long."
"There's no way around it, we have just too many official matters to deal with every day."
"Then why do you still have time to come to my shop for juice every day?"
"I do this in my spare time. I make up for the half hour I skip in the afternoon by working overtime in the evening."
"What time do you usually work overtime until at night?"
"Around nine or ten o'clock."
"Staying up late is bad for your skin, especially for women."
"right."
"Look at you... wait, what's with the scars on your arm?"
Xia Zhi's fingers gently stroked Ning Guang's forearm.
Ningguang squinted comfortably, her tone indifferent: "It was from an injury I sustained before."
"This shape looks like a knife wound?"
"Yes."
"How did you get hurt?"
"Being chased and killed."
"Pursuit?"
"I wasn't born a star of heaven; I rose to power step by step from Yaoguang Beach. Back then, there were countless open and covert battles..."
"It's not easy for you either."
"Yes, it hasn't been easy along the way."
Ningguang sighed and turned to look at him.
"It's a pity I didn't meet Mr. Xia back then, otherwise with your help, things would have been much easier for me."
"How can I help?"
"There are a lot..."
"Even if I could help, I wouldn't easily get involved in your troublesome affairs."
"Tsk, how ruthless..."
"Raise your hand."
"Ouch, that hurts..."
"Bear with it. In the future, if you sit for too long, remember to stand up and move around."
"Hmm... Mr. Xia's fingers are really beautiful. No wonder he can carve such a beautiful glass lily."
"I didn't carve that piece of jewelry."
"It's you."
“I’m telling the truth… If you don’t believe me, fine. You’re rich, to think you could spend 3000 million to buy it.”
"It's just a small amount of money, I like it."
"3000 million is nothing. Speaking of which, Miss Ningguang, how much money do you actually have?"
"This is a secret."
There was a hint of a smile in Ningguang's eyes.
"Why is Mr. Xia asking this?"
"Just curious."
"I thought you were short of money. If so, I can give you some..."
"No need, I don't really need the money. I haven't even gone to the Liyue bank to collect the million Mora you gave me last time. There shouldn't be an expiration date, right?"
"No, Mr. Xia can pick it up anytime."
"Well, when I have some free time and happen to pass by Liyue Bank, I'll withdraw the money and deposit it into the Northern Bank."
"...Why must we deposit our money in the Northern Bank?"
"I opened an account there."
"Mr. Xia can also open an account at our Liyue Bank."
"Doing too much will cause trouble."
“I can get the money exchange to give Mr. Xia the best possible terms and upgrade him to a major client.”
"There's no need..."
"Mr. Xia, do you really look down on our Liyue Bank?"
"It's not that we dislike it... it's just that we might travel abroad in the future, and it would be more convenient to withdraw money from the Northern Bank."
"……I see."
Ningguang sighed softly.
"This is indeed where Liyue Bank falls short of Northern Bank."
"Miss Ningguang seems to be troubled?"
"Yes, the Northern Bank has been quite restless lately, bringing down many small money exchanges in Liyue. But it operates within the rules, so we can't openly touch it. If this continues..."
"This kind of thing..."
What are your thoughts, Mr. Xia?
Xia Zhi lowered his head, pressed the rich woman's soft calves, and smiled, "I don't know much about this kind of thing, so I don't have any good insights. Turn over and I'll massage your back."
"Ugh……"
Ningguang sighed again and silently turned over.
The indescribable scene in front of me made me worry that she would crush me.
The atmosphere in the back hall became somewhat quiet.
Xia Zhi gave Ning Guang a simple massage to relax her body, basically the same as when he massaged Gan Yu for the first time.
"Alright, how are you feeling now, Miss Ningguang?"
"I feel very comfortable."
Ningguang sat up from the small bed, stretched, and looked at the incense burner where smoke was rising.
"The incense smells wonderful too."
Xia Zhi nodded: "I'm glad Miss Ningguang is satisfied."
"how much is it?"
"I said it was to thank you, and I don't charge you for the first massage."
"Oh?"
"That's one of the rules here."
"That's an interesting rule. Shall I come back tomorrow?"
"welcome."
Ningguang sat on the small bed, calmly tidying up her somewhat disheveled clothes.
