Chapter 113: After working for half a month, I still owe one million (12 yuan a day, , monthly ticket requested)

"That's right, Andre. From now on you will be the manager of the Northland Bank."

Pantalone smiled, gentle and kind, completely different from the cold attitude he had when he arbitrarily executed his men before.

This is the capitalist.

As long as it is in his interest, he is the gentlest and most kind person.

But once his interests are violated or he is not satisfied, he will show his fangs directly.

It's inhumane, nothing more than this.

Andre was suddenly promoted and immediately showed his joy.

What is a pleasant surprise? This is a pleasant surprise.

My colleague is in trouble but I get promoted, so cool!
Andre is a typical winter man, he doesn't know what is subtle.

He only knew that in the future, he would be considered a top figure in Liyue Northern Kingdom Bank.

The other fools who were kneeling on the ground also showed envy to Andre.
As for how much jealousy there is under the envy, it is unknown.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Andre kowtowed repeatedly.

However, his eyes were extremely fiery. What was a manager? As long as I could hold on to the executive's thigh, I could take the position of bank president.

As lowly as a tick, several fools looked at Andre and cursed him in their hearts.

Of course, they would also be willing to change their positions.

Pantalone didn't react. If they just kowtowed a few times to become his people, then Zhidong didn't know how many people were willing to kowtow.

Under his gentle smile, he was still as cold as ever.
There is never friendship in the blood of capital, only blood and tears.

Of course, it is the workers' blood and tears, and the capitalists themselves are all milk and honey~
"I'll leave this matter to you." Pantalone said softly, then looked at the others, "As for you, just cooperate with Andre."

The others responded immediately, and they also knew that this hurdle had been passed.

Although he didn't get promoted like Andre, at least he wasn't dragged out like those two unlucky guys, right?
"By the way, although that guy is from the advance team, he is also from Zhidong. If we can't rescue him, we shouldn't cause trouble for Zhidong."

Pantalone said, looking at everyone.
"Understand?"

Andre was startled and nodded immediately: "Understood, we will arrange it immediately to cut off Kotav's relationship with us. Regardless of whether he leaks the secret or not, we will ensure that he will not have any relationship with the great winter."

Hearing this, Pantalone nodded with satisfaction: "Well, go ahead."

In fact, after he received the news that Kotav was captured, he never thought about rescuing him.

Cutting off relations and eliminating intelligence were what he considered.

After all, he is a capitalist.

Compared to going to the General Affairs Department to rescue people, cutting off relationships and eliminating intelligence is much easier and safer.

As for Kotav's life,
Sorry, this is not within the consideration of capitalists.

Moreover, Pantalone believed that the executive officers behind Kotav would not care about the major's life.

After all, there are only two executives who care about the lives of ordinary fools.

One is the captain and the other is the current servant.

As for the other executives, only the Young Master might be slightly better to his subordinates, and the rest mostly treat ordinary Fatui as consumables.

……

Yujingtai Tianquan Office,

"How is it, did you find out anything from the interrogation?"

Ningguang asked Keqing with a smile.

After Wang Hao and others sent the Fatui captives back, Keqing followed Ningguang's men to interrogate them.

With the Seven Stars around, it would naturally be the turn of ordinary General Affairs Department interrogators to report the work.

"He was very stubborn and refused to say anything no matter how much he was tortured. However, after some tricks, he was able to get some information."

Keqing had a calm expression, and when she said "some methods", there seemed to be a strong sense of coldness coming from her.

"Oh, tell me about it." Ningguang showed a hint of interest and her eyes brightened.

"First of all, he is not from Pantalone, but from another executive officer [Doctor],
The purpose of going to Guyun Pavilion was indeed to find the trace of the Whirlpool Demon God.
According to their confessions, they even heard the whispers of the demon god when they were in Guyun Pavilion. If we hadn’t caught them, they might have found the seal.”

Keqing spoke calmly, and her eyes flickered slightly when she mentioned the inexplicable whispers of the demon, remembering the night when Wang Hao said he heard the voice.

Perhaps, what Wang Hao heard was also the whisper of the devil.

However, although she had some doubts, Keqing did not tell Ningguang.

This was a secret between her and Wang Hao, and she subconsciously didn't want to tell anyone else.

Moreover, Keqing didn’t think that Wang Hao had any relationship with the Whirlpool Demon.

“Doctor? I have the impression that this executive officer is not a good person.” Ningguang said.

Keqing nodded. "According to the intelligence gathered by the General Affairs Department, the Doctor is extremely dangerous. He has very low moral standards, or even none, and he is not as 'law-abiding' as Pantalone."

"Hmm, now I remember. My pen pal in Mond also mentioned him to me. He seems to be a scumbag who would attack children."

Ningguang said, her eyes turning cold.

"It seems that we should be more cautious against the fools."

"By the way, is there any information about the Northland Bank?"

Ningguang looked at Keqing again.

Keqing shook her head slightly. "The only thing that can be confirmed is that the funds for their operation were obtained from the Northland Bank, and the mission was also transferred from the Northland Bank. However, I think all the evidence has been destroyed now."

The person who knows you better than you know yourself is your opponent.

As a rival of the Northland Bank, Qixing is very familiar with this bank from the winter.

Their ability to move is inherited from the Fatui, so they move very quickly.

Just as Keqing had thought, the Northland Bank had now completed the destruction of the evidence and was even ready to kill Major Kotav.

"Northland Bank is indeed not a safe place. It seems that we need to target it."

"What are you going to do?"

"Regarding the fact that Northland Bank provided financial support to these people, there are still diaries. We can also make trouble for it and fine them a few million."

Although I know that the Northland Bank must have destroyed the evidence, I can still fine the Northland Bank because of the note, but I can't shake their foundation.

"Then ask Yan Fei to come and improve the financial bill to crack down on the lending business of the Northland Bank."

Ningguang said,

Although she and Yan Fei always have conflicts over legal issues, Ningguang still recognizes Yan Fei's abilities.

With her in the fold, the fight against Northland Bank will certainly be interesting.

As for why the lending business is being cracked down on rather than the savings business.

Because the interest rates offered by the North Country Bank are indeed high, cracking down on savings business will cause dissatisfaction among the people.

As for the loan business, although the interest rate charged by Northland Bank was low, it had just encountered an incident and had a bad reputation among the people, so it was just the right choice to crack down on it.

"Money lending business, that's possible. I heard a joke a few days ago. If you get lost in the wild, just shout that you owe money to Northland Bank, and then the debt handler of Northland Bank will come and take you back."

Keqing said half jokingly, half seriously.

The debt handlers of the Fools are the elite of the Northland Bank. Their professionalism can be seen from this funny little story.

"However, Pantalone is a well-behaved man. He has already paid all the fines he was fined last time."

Hearing this, Ningguang shook her head and said, "Oh, Pantalone thinks he is a law-abiding businessman, but in fact, he is more of a capitalist. His so-called rules are just a disguise. If one day the benefits of not following the rules are greater than following the rules, he will throw the rules aside without hesitation. So, don't trust his appearance of following the rules too much."

Ningguang's partner, Ye Lan, has no idea how many times she has fought secretly with Pantalone.

Ningguang already knew Pantalone's character modeling very well.

Not necessarily completely correct, but certainly more real than the superficial image that Pantalone pretends to create.

"Well, I see."

Keqing responded. Although she and Ningguang had conflicts on some issues, they were in agreement on their attitude towards the Fatui.

"Oh, by the way, is that Fatui major still alive?" Ningguang suddenly asked.

Keqing: "It's useless, but not dead."

"Okay, let's pass it over to Ye Lan. She might still be able to use it."

"Row."

……

Luhua Pond,
The star sickle was pulled out from the body of the tall Fatui warrior, bringing up a handful of blood.
Wang Hao's eyes showed no fluctuation.

"Number Three, any harvest?"

"The Fatui here found a secret place called Huaqing Guizang Secret Palace, but they were unable to crack it."

Number 3, dressed in black, appeared behind Wang Hao and spoke.

Since Qingxupu, Wang Hao led Team No. 3 to travel hundreds of miles, fought in many areas, and wiped out no less than thirty Fatui strongholds.

There were some gains in these strongholds, more or less.

I have to say that the Fatui's ability to act and execute is really strong.

Many relics hidden underground in Liyue were dug out by them.

These people will stop being members of the Clans of Fools and switch to becoming treasure-stealing gangs, which should have a future.

"Hua Qing returns to the Tibetan Secret Palace?"

Wang Hao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with comments, providing information.

"According to the information obtained by the Fatui, this should be a secret place where an ancient immortal preserved items. They believe that what they are looking for is in here," No. 3 also explained.

Wang Hao nodded: "Okay, put the information away and give it to Sister Ningguang later."

He was not very interested in these secret realms. If they were left behind by the devil, he would be willing to continue checking them out, but immortals' words were not on his menu.

"Is this the last camp?" Wang Hao asked again.

Number Three nodded: "There are no other marks on the map delivered by Lord Tianquan." Wang Hao put away his prototype star sickle. After running hundreds of miles in ten days, he was a little tired.

After all, it's not just about rushing on the road, you also need to kill the enemy, clean up the camp, and collect evidence.

"Okay, pack up and go home. By the way, are they all okay?"

More than thirty Fatui camps were wiped out and nearly a thousand enemies were killed. Although Wang Hao was fine, Team Three was not always unscathed.

Under the counterattack of the Fatui, Team No. 3 also suffered casualties. Although Wang Hao acted in time and no one died, there were some serious and some minor injuries.

"The secret medicine has been used and will be sent back to the tribe. It will be cured in a month." Number Three said softly, with some warmth in his eyes.

They are determined warriors, but they are not without feelings. When they hear Wang Hao's concern, they are naturally touched.

Wang Hao nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a holiday after we return to Liyue Harbor."

Number Three smiled under his face armor but did not reply.

Pack your things,
Come back home.

Because there were injured people, Wang Hao was not in a hurry to travel.

Luhuachi is right next to Guiliyuan and not far from the trade route of Guiliyuan.

Wang Hao led his men directly back to the business road.
I found the patrolling Qianyan Army and informed them of my identity as the General Affairs Director.

Soon, he received help from the Qianyan Army.

The Qianyan Army provided them with a baggage wagon to transport the wounded.

With the help of the carriage,
A few days later, Wang Hao and others finally returned to Liyue Harbor.

Let No. 3 take the wounded to treatment, and also said that they were given a holiday.

Wang Hao, despite being exhausted, went to Yuehai Pavilion with clues and evidence found in more than 30 Fatui camps.

"Hey, you are... Zhiyi?"

The person guarding Yuehai Pavilion today was not Huixin, but Zhiyi whom Wang Hao had met before.
That is the employee of the General Affairs Department who was called a bad guy by the commentators.

Zhiyi also recognized Wang Hao and smiled: "Haha, we meet again. Are you here to see Lord Tianquan?"

Zhiyi had read Wang Hao's information and knew that Wang Hao was recommended by Tianquan Ningguang to join the General Affairs Department.

Wang Hao nodded: "Well, if you have anything, go find Lord Tianquan."

He didn't call her Sister Ningguang, but used the official title.

Zhiyi smiled and nodded: "Lord Tianquan is in the office, you can go up."

Knowing that Wang Hao and Tian Quan have a special relationship, he naturally would not stop them.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I didn't know what happened later, I wouldn't think he would be a bad guy. ]

【Zhiyi is kind to others and he really doesn’t look like a bad person.】

[I can only say that it is hidden too deeply. 】

[Not necessarily. He hasn't come into contact with the Fatui yet.]

[Zhiyi will turn evil only when Tianshu Star is in the election. ]

[Haha, you can judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. Anyway, I don’t think highly of Zhiyi. ]

Seeing familiar characters in the plot, the commentators started chatting again.

Wang Hao didn't care, nodded to Zhiyi, and went straight upstairs.

He walked to Ningguang's office with ease and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Push the door and enter,

This time, there were not so many documents in Ningguang's office.

Instead, a huge drawing was hung.

[Damn, Qun Yu Pavilion.]

[Is construction finally about to begin? ]

[One day, I will let the Jade Pavilion cover the seven countries. ]

[Last time I heard Master Zhang talking about the Qianqi Core, the Qun Yu Pavilion is indeed coming. ]

Looking at the huge blueprint, the commentators immediately forgot about Zhiyi and turned the topic to "Qun Yu Pavilion".

Wang Hao knew that the Qun Yu Pavilion was a huge floating pavilion and it was where Ningguang would live in the future.

It will also become Liyue’s landmark building.

Seeing Wang Hao being attracted by her drawings, Ningguang smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

Wang Hao came back to his senses, with a hint of shock: "Sister Ningguang, what is this?"

"I plan to build a floating pavilion as my exclusive office area."

At this time, Ningguang probably had not yet named this pavilion, so there was no such name as Qun Yu Pavilion in her mouth.

Wang Hao gave a thumbs up: "I admire Sister Ningguang's courage."

“Haha.” Ningguang laughed loudly, then waved her hand and put away the blueprint. “It seems that your operation went smoothly this time.”

Wang Hao accepted the mission and left in early July. It is already late July now. However, seeing Wang Hao's playful expression, Ningguang knew that he must have completed the mission.

Wang Hao smiled and nodded, taking out the harvest from his arms: "We destroyed thirty-two Fatui camps and killed more than nine hundred enemies. On average, there are about thirty people in each camp. The information is all here."

Put the information on Ningguang's desk.

Then Wang Hao asked again: "By the way, did you get anything from the major we captured last time?"

Ningguang did not hide it: "There is a point. Recently, we have gained the upper hand in the battle with the Fatui. Unfortunately, the Northland Bank cut off too quickly and we were unable to make a move in time."

"Tsk tsk, it's okay, I killed quite a few anyway." Wang Hao clicked his tongue a few times, "If you guys hadn't held back the Fatui, I wouldn't have had it so easy."

He traveled hundreds of miles in ten days and wiped out more than thirty Fatui camps, but the Fatui did not evacuate in time. It was obvious that Ningguang had made some efforts.

She made great efforts in other hidden arrangements and attacked the Fatui's information dissemination system, which allowed Wang Hao to successfully complete the strangulation.

Otherwise, with the execution ability of the Fatui, after Wang Hao wiped out a few camps, other camps should have received the news.

The speed at which information spreads among the Fatui is not slow.

"Well, this time the Fatui dealt a heavy blow. The death of nearly a thousand people is enough to teach them a lesson."

Ningguang also showed a satisfied smile.

Even though Ye Lan had been fighting the Fatui for such a long time, there had never been a time when he had caused such heavy losses to the Fatui at once.

The loss of nearly a thousand people is not a small amount, even in war.

Not to mention in 'peaceful' times.

"Your actions this time cannot be publicly praised, but your achievements will be recorded and used to promote you later."

Hearing this, Wang Hao nodded: "Sister Ningguang, you can make the arrangements."

Wang Hao didn't care. He wanted to improve, but this achievement was not enough for him to get on stage.

...

"By the way, Master Zhang sent someone to ask you to go to Hanfeng Ironware when you have time."

After chatting about business with Wang Hao for a while, Ningguang seemed to remember something and said to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up: "Master Zhang? Haha, my weapon is ready?"

"Probably. A few days after you left, he came to me to ask for money. What kind of weapon do you want? You actually want so many materials?"

Ningguang also showed a hint of curiosity. She didn't feel sorry for Mora and the materials, she was just simply curious.

The materials Master Zhang asked her for were comparable to the core she used to build the Qun Yu Pavilion.

You know, the core of the Qun Yu Pavilion is to drive the Qun Yu Pavilion, so the materials used are very precious and huge, which is normal.

But Wang Hao's weapon, a spear, actually requires so much material.

This couldn't help but make Ningguang curious.

When asked, Master Zhang just smiled mysteriously and was unwilling to reveal more information.

Ningguang could only ask Wang Hao.

"Hehe, a very remarkable weapon."

Wang Hao chuckled, revealing a bit of "honesty".

Ningguang was speechless, but she didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that there was a secret.
Since Wang Hao doesn't want to say it, it's not convenient to tell her.

Out of trust in Wang Hao, Ningguang suppressed her inner curiosity.

but……

"Master Zhang took away precious materials worth nearly five million Mora from me. I'll calculate the cost price to you as three million. I'll just deduct the bonus for this mission. You still owe me... well, one million, three hundred and sixty thousand Mora."

Wang Hao: “Ah?”

[It's so funny. I worked hard for half a month and still owe one million. 】

[It’s hard to hold it together. Hahahahaha. 】

[My goodness, does Wang Hao's weapon cost so much money? ]

[Demon god material, my friend, how can ordinary materials match it. 】

[How much is Wang Hao's salary? ]

[It seems to be about 30,000 per month, which will take several years. ]

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. 】

The barrage was filled with gloating.

Seeing Wang Hao's dumbfounded expression, Ningguang suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just scaring you. It's just five million. You don't have to pay it back."

Wang Hao immediately smiled: "Hehe."
