Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Liuhuo has no concept of guardians at all - are you kidding, humans are going to be her guardians? Are you serious?
So she got stuck in a conversation with Xingqiu for a few minutes - the one who came to the rescue was the boss: "Hey, Mr. Kawi who came with you last time, do you have work today?"
Liuhuo nodded - Kawi had revised the plan for the sixth time before, and he went out in the morning saying that the client might come to torture him.
Xingqiu, who understood the meaning of the song, immediately found a breakthrough - even if this Mr. Kawi is not Liuhuo's guardian, he must know who her guardian is!
Xingqiu himself is a bit childish in front of his friends, but it is difficult for him to put himself in the role of taking care of a child - to be honest, he really needs to emphasize: the Xumi appraiser really didn't say that it was such a young girl!
What common language? Xingqiu didn't know if he would be taken away by the discipline officer if he rashly said he would hold her hand...
Liuhuo looked at the cub who had just tamed his hands and feet. She recalled the time when she went out with Kavitinari and the others. So she took Xingqiu's sleeve and walked away with a little helplessness.
If she didn't do it, the human cub wouldn't be able to walk properly.
There was no need to worry about adult humans. For example, El Haisen usually carried her with the muscles he had trained in the library.
...Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Xingqiu didn't know Mr. Kavi, it was always right to follow the child... It should be... It should be right...
Liuhuo: The puppet is with Mehraq, how could I sense it wrong?
When they found Kavi, the exquisite and bright architectural designer was walking towards the Lambad Tavern angrily. It was obvious that he was angry with the client and planned to have a drink to cool off.
——But this was before seeing Liuhuo: "Liuhuo? Why are you here... Hey, is this your new friend? He looks like a guest from Liyue..."
Xingqiu actually saw Kawi's not-so-good expression just now, so he didn't plan to get right to the point: at least go to the tavern to eat something good first to pave the way.
With Liuhuo, Kawi certainly wouldn't drink - talking about things at the dinner table was like returning to Xingqiu's comfort zone - Kawi didn't know why he complained to the young man he just met about the client's unreasonable demands and the subtle misalignment between his words and deeds...
Xingqiu had seen many more people in business than Kawi, and he had a guess after listening to a few words: "I think, Mr. Kawi, your client may have some unspeakable secrets..."
He continued to analyze: "He took the initiative to find you, and now the plan has been delayed, which is not only a waste of your time... I think he may not be dissatisfied with your design and want to tease you, but there may be some mistakes in fundraising..."
"Eh..." Kawi recalled, "But if he really has no money, why would he build a house specifically in the desert..."
Xingqiu nodded: "You also said that the rich businessman is from the rainforest, and he is not generous with his money... Then would he choose the desert specifically for the sake of pursuing fashion?"
Thinking from another perspective, if he wanted to invest in the desert in advance, he should buy land first...
Kawi was immediately more convinced of the young man's judgment - he had previously found it difficult to objectively judge the situation because of the client's outrageous demands, and now after hearing what Xingqiu said, he also realized that something was wrong with the client.
"...Alas... I was not deceived again..." Kawi sighed slightly, "I still have to ask, if..."
If he really encountered a scammer again, he should also let the disciplinary officer take action, one less victim is one less victim - if the other party just couldn't come up with the money temporarily and wanted to reduce the budget, it is not impossible to discuss the revision of the seventh version of the plan.
Liuhuo was not interested in the psychological changes of Kawei and Xingqiu, but she understood that they were discussing Kawei's client, so she pointed to the puppet in Mehrak's hand and said, "If there is malicious intent, it will react." "
Eh...?" Kawei couldn't say whether he believed it or not. After all, he only saw the puppet floating, so he just went through this sentence in his mind, "That's amazing."
In fact, Liuhuo wanted to say that the client had no malicious intent, but it was a pity that Kawei didn't think about it at all.
Xingqiu looked at it and thought it was a good opportunity to build relationships - and with a local leading the way, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to do justice in Xumi.
Kawei is... If you ask for help, he feels embarrassed to bother you, but if you ask him to help as a tour guide, he will feel very happy to help - so Xingqiu's request to go with you was approved by Kawei in seconds.
As a result, he met Ms. Sahhati on the way out of Xumi City.
This is a famous sage of the Myo-lun school, with many works, and is also Kavi's mother and Farana's teacher - well, the opportunity to meet was when he ran into Tinari who came to see Guresh, but there was friction over some tomato issues... Anyway, Tinari made an appointment to have dinner later and left first.
Sahhati knew Kavi - he looked like his beautiful mother, Ms. Farana left a deep impression on Sahhati, and Kavi inherited his mother's legacy, and could even be said to be better than her - so Sahhati couldn't help but tell Kavi some old stories.
Hearing that his mother had also encountered such problems, Kavi seemed a little happy - of course, he was not gloating, he was just thinking that his mother, who was once so outstanding in his eyes, would also encounter these client problems, so there was no need for him to keep doubting himself - "Go find the client, and then you can find the diary..."
After such a series of things, Xingqiu has completely regarded Kavi as someone he can trust - well, of course not sharing secrets, but he is sure that Kavi must be a good person, there is no need to be on guard against him, just make friends with him sincerely.
So when they met the client who had disguised himself as a member of the Gilded Brigade from a wealthy businessman in Port Omos, seeing that Kawi felt cheated and a little angry, Xingqiu took a step forward: "Sir, we have also seen what happened just now. Not to mention the purpose of your disguised identity... I think the building you actually want to find designed by Mr. Kawi does not match the needs you told Mr. Kawi."
The client named Badawi sighed: "Actually, I don't want to do anything bad. I just want to build a library for children to read in the desert..."
He explained that he had been cheated of a sum of money by a fraudulent architect in the rainforest, resulting in a very tight budget for Kawi now - Xingqiu looked at Kawi's expression: Well, this kind-hearted Mr. Kawi, I'm afraid he is thinking of paying money to do the work...
Fortunately, Kawi still remembered his debt - doing good things also requires consideration of reality - so he just borrowed inspiration and said that he would go to the selected location to see if he could reduce the cost without reducing the utility of the library.
... Well, according to Kawi - are private residences and libraries the same thing? ! The emphasis is completely different!
Compared to Badawi, who was born in the desert but didn’t know much about Aru Village, Sereta is much more reliable - Kawi and Mehrak can come up with a new version of the blueprint on the spot...
Liuhuo chewing on a date palm: So is this the seventh draft or...
Xingqiu: Aru Village...
Kawi doesn’t know about the fury after Master Sangge Mahabayi - Dolly was hoping to make a fortune in silence, but a difficult-to-deal-with Liyue thorn came directly...
That's Liyue. Dolly is the biggest merchant in Xumi, but Liyue next door... Tsk, not to mention that merchants always keep their promises, she can't break up with those guilds in Liyue...
For Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, investing in Aru Village is a piece of cake - the infrastructure is built, so why worry about the lack of traffic? With the traffic, why worry about no business?
What's more, Aru Village is a key project supported by the Ministry of Education recently. Xingqiu couldn't think of a reason not to take advantage of this opportunity.
The only thing that is a bit of a loss is that the talents from Aru Village probably won't be exported to Liyue - but that is an acceptable part of long-term investment.

Xingqiu even thought about which capable subordinate to send to stay there permanently.
After this trip, Xingqiu mentioned that he wanted to invite Liuhuo to Liyue, which didn't seem so strange. He also told Kawei that if he was willing to come, he would reimburse all the travel expenses for the next few days. Kawei was really tempted: there was such an opportunity to take Liuhuo to other countries to broaden his horizons and cultivate his aesthetic sentiments: he didn't even have to pay!
However, he still knew that he couldn't make the decision: although he brought her back home with Elhaisen's tacit consent, in essence, he was just kind and was not really qualified to deal with Liuhuo's affairs - so he said that he would ask other people's opinions.
Xingqiu nodded, thinking that the probability of success was quite high.
Kawei told Elhaisen about the matter that night, but he didn't get an answer from Elhaisen - and was told that he should ask Senor about this matter: he was the one who made the decision.
- And he, Elhaisen, was just an innocent clerk who was conscripted and even requisitioned to work in the living room.
There will be a dinner party tomorrow night invited by Tinari, and Seno will definitely attend - so he temporarily let Elhaisen go and rummaged through the box with Liuhuo.
This is something his mother left for him.
"This is my mother's notebook. It has a password, and I can't open it..." Kawi introduced it to Liuhuo and tried the password, "What do you think the password should be?"
Liuhuo looked at the notebook, his mind was blank.
Mother... would she leave something for me?
She looked at the puppet rolling on the Mehrak box: What's the difference between me and the puppet?
Liuhuo carefully took the notebook from Kawi's hand, ignoring Kawi's "Huh?", and deduced the password from the changes in the mechanical structure inside.
"Snap."
- The password is "accompany".
