Mobile Game Wife Knocks on the Door

Of course, the construction industry itself has a lot of intricacies, and it's possible there are factors Ye Ming isn't aware of that contributed to this collaboration. But would a mature and powerful company like Liyue International make such a basic mistake as forgetting to prepare an office in advance, and then not even being able to free up a single office after the problem arose?

That's a bit too outrageous.

Even more outrageous is that Ye Ming, the specialist responsible for communication between the two parties, can share an office with Keqing, a high-level leader of Liyue International. Even a Long Aotian novel wouldn't dare write it like this.

You have to know, Ye Ming and Keqing had only met twice before today. Even if they hit it off, it's not worth mentioning when it comes to projects with huge benefits.

Unless Keqing has a problem with her brain and doesn't care about the project's returns, or even the huge amount of capital invested in the project, but that's obviously impossible. No one would be that stupid.

To take a step back, even if Keqing really was that stupid, the capital behind Keqing and the other participants in the project would stop her.

So, what is Keqing, or Liyue International, after?

Ye Ming doesn't know. He believes that even if he asked Sister Wang now, Sister Wang wouldn't tell him the truth about a project that is likely to involve the interests of many parties. Therefore, Ye Ming can only secretly be vigilant, so as not to get himself involved.

Of course, he has to do his job well. However, Ye Ming also secretly decided that he would not sign any documents required for this project. Instead, he would transfer them all to Sister Wang. Even if he lost the opportunity to make money by handling this project, it would be better than becoming a scapegoat in a muddle.

As long as I don't sign, nothing can go wrong!

While secretly planning in his heart, the smile on Ye Ming's face was very enthusiastic.

"Does President Ke have any favorite restaurants? Would you like me to recommend a few?"

"Why are you still calling me President Ke? I've already called you Ye Ming, so just call me by my name."

Keqing picked up her handbag and left the office with Ye Ming. "As for restaurants, I remember there's a Cat House Western Restaurant nearby. The food there is very good."

"Okay, then Cat House Western Restaurant."

The two chatted and took the elevator down to the underground parking lot. Keqing's secretary, Zhou Keke, was still the driver, and they soon arrived at the Cat House Western Restaurant.

After dropping the two off at the restaurant, Zhou Keke said that she still had a lot of work to do overtime and left in a hurry, leaving only Ye Ming and Keqing.

After entering the restaurant, Keqing picked up the menu and ordered dishes very familiarly. She also ordered a bottle of white wine, and only asked Ye Ming after ordering, "Is it okay to have some wine?"

Ye Ming doesn't like to drink, but he naturally wouldn't refuse on this kind of social occasion.

However, when Keqing finished ordering and asked him to order, Ye Ming discovered another problem.

"Is it just the two of us for dinner today?"

Ye Ming was puzzled.

This is too strange. According to common sense, shouldn't this dinner be to familiarize yourself with the people you will need to deal with frequently in the future, so that it will be easier to talk in the future?

"Oh, our department responsible for mainland business has just been established, and there are not enough people. Several people in charge of the project are currently on business trips in other places. When we have time in the future, I will introduce them to you one by one."

Keqing's expression was natural, and her answer was impeccable.

"I see."

Ye Ming nodded in understanding. "Ke, Keqing, when will your company's project information be ready? I want to get it as soon as possible so that I can start work as soon as possi..."

"Keke will send you the project information in the afternoon. Now is break time, so let's not talk about work."

Keqing waved her hand, interrupting Ye Ming's words. "Work is already annoying enough on weekdays. It's a rare lunch break, so let's talk about something relaxing."

Keqing, who has always been a loyal supporter and practitioner of 996, told a lie against her will.

"Let's talk about games. Ye Ming, when you used to play Genshin Impact, which did you like more, Mondstadt or Liyue Harbor?"

Of course it's Mondstadt. Anyone who has played Genshin Impact knows the gold content of Jean Gunnhildr's beautiful hips, right? There's also the mature and intellectual Lisa, the poor fortune teller Mona whose body is very hot, and most importantly, the little loli Klee.

"Of course it's Liyue Harbor. I think the characters in Liyue Harbor all have their own persistence and unique personality charm that is fascinating, so I like Liyue Harbor very much."

Ye Ming gave the answer without hesitation.

Keqing smiled happily. "What a coincidence, my thoughts are the same as yours. To be honest, if I really had to choose someone from Genshin Impact to be my wife, none of the people in Mondstadt could compete. On the other hand, in Liyue, as long as Keqing is there, she can stand firmly in an invincible position."

Aren't you a girl supposed to choose a husband from the game? Why are you choosing a wife like a boy?

Ye Ming was puzzled, and to be honest, he didn't quite agree with Keqing's words.

If you really want to choose, of course you want them all. Who would be stupid enough to choose only one wife? And compared to Keqing, isn't Ganyu more attractive?

"Well, I also think Keqing is great."

What he thought in his heart was one thing, and what he said was, of course, another. After all, the person sitting in front of Ye Ming was his "father"—the client—and a die-hard Keqing fan.

While the two were chatting, the dishes had already been served. Ye Ming reached out to pour Keqing a glass of wine, but he didn't expect Keqing to not give him a chance at all. As soon as the waiter opened the bottle and before he could put the wine down, Keqing couldn't wait to take the wine bottle into her hand.

As soon as she got the wine bottle, Keqing first poured Ye Ming a full glass, and then filled her own glass. After putting down the wine bottle, she raised her glass to Ye Ming.

"I wish us a happy cooperation, cheers!"

After speaking, Keqing took the lead and drank it all in one gulp.

"Cheers!"

Ye Ming, who originally wanted to drink slowly, had no choice but to raise his neck and drink it all in one gulp.

Keqing, who had been secretly observing Ye Ming, saw this scene and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, like a little fox who had successfully stolen a chicken, smiling both triumphantly and excitedly.

Chapter 39 Bad things happened

Enterprise always remembers her daily life in the Port District.

From their first meeting until the Commander's sudden disappearance, she remembered every single detail of her time with him.

Those memories were Enterprise's most precious treasures, the pillars that supported her to this day, and her entire existence as a Ship-Girl.

Although, strictly speaking, they weren't exactly earth-shattering experiences, the Commander's presence transformed them into treasures she could never forget.

Even now, Enterprise remembered the first words she spoke to the Commander: "Yorktown-class, hull number 2, Enterprise, reporting. I will show no mercy or leniency to the enemy, only fight with all my strength. That is my style."

Although she maintained a serious expression and tried to appear cool and dashing when she said those words, she was actually quite nervous inside.

After all, she was facing her Commander. The important person with whom she was destined to spend the rest of her life, no matter what.

What kind of person would the Commander be? A ruthless and resolute hero? A mature and steady older man? An enthusiastic and cheerful older brother? A naive and kind younger brother? Or some other personality entirely?

Enterprise still remembered the anxious feeling in her heart when she first met the Commander.

After spending only a few short days together, Enterprise realized that all her previous guesses were wrong.

Her Commander was neither a hero nor a villain, but a terrible person.

In his free time, he would make the Ship-Girls wear all sorts of strange clothes, constantly harass the girls in the Port District, and shout "You're the ship I want most!" to the Ship-Girls who weren't in the Port District. But after getting them, his enthusiasm would only last for a short time before he focused his energy on other Ship-Girls he hadn't obtained yet.

He clearly knew that Ship-Girls easily fell in love with their Commanders, yet he blatantly rotated them into the Secretary Ship position to farm affection. He wouldn't necessarily give rings even after gaining affection, and it wasn't just cruisers and battleships he harassed, but even destroyer lolis and submarine children, poking them with his finger for no reason.

But even though he was such a terrible Commander, just being by his side made her feel at ease, and she could muster the courage to fight. No matter how dangerous the battle, as long as she could see that reassuring figure after returning to the Port District, she could feel warmth and happiness.

Enterprise remembered that she was the Port District's first battleship. She also remembered the Commander's surprised and happy expression when he saw her. After that, the Commander immediately gave her the best equipment in the Port District. Then came a very busy period of sorties, commissions, exercises, and Secretary Ship duties. Enterprise was almost too busy to handle it all, but even so, Enterprise was very happy, because it was proof that she was valued by the Commander, that she was needed by the Commander.

For a Ship-Girl, there was nothing happier than being needed by her Commander.

But later, Enterprise began to worry that the busy work would strain her relationship with the Commander. Therefore, one day, during a break from work, when the Commander once again harassed her with his finger, she plucked up her courage and said, "My wish is to live honestly and sincerely, so I will say what I think directly, and I hope you will tell me your thoughts as well."

The consequence of this sentence was that the Commander harassed her even more frequently.

She worked as a Secretary Ship and battleship for a long time. Later, as time passed, the number of battleships in the Port District slowly increased, and Enterprise's opportunities to sortie gradually decreased. Later, she slowly lost even the opportunities for exercises and commissions. The only thing she was still doing was the Secretary Ship work.

Sometimes she would express her desire to sortie, saying when being harassed, "Mere invincibility is meaningless, Commander. But I believe that with you, I can maximize the value of my abilities. Let us end this struggle together."

But even after saying this, she rarely had the chance to sortie.

Then one day, when asked what she wanted to do after the war ended, Enterprise mustered her courage and spoke her heart.

"What do I want to do after the war ends? -- Me? If it were me, I would probably still follow you. After all, I only feel at ease by your side outside the battlefield. Would you... take me with you?"

Such a confession had neither flowery words nor overflowing enthusiasm, but simply expressed her feelings in a flat tone during an afternoon chat.

But such a confession was the most that Enterprise, who was only good at fighting, could do.

Only Enterprise herself knew the shyness and trepidation hidden beneath the calm and dashing exterior during the confession.

What kind of response would she get? Would she be rejected? Or would she be brushed off without getting an accurate answer, or, worst of all, would she be rejected?

As she worried anxiously, she saw the ring, given by her beloved Commander, representing his willingness to spend his life with her, a wedding ring.

Her originally anxious heart instantly calmed down.

Just like that, she received the wedding ring, put on the wedding dress, and entered the hall of marriage with her beloved Commander. She still remembered the words she said at the wedding that day: "I have crossed countless battlefields and welcomed countless partings. I carry countless wishes and wills on my shoulders. Commander, are you ready to bear all of this? -- Is that so... Then let us walk together until the end of our lives."

From that moment on, she completely entrusted herself to the Commander. She, who was born only to fight, began to believe from that moment on that even when the war ended, as long as she had the Commander by her side, she could bravely move forward and obtain true happiness.

But the peaceful days quickly passed. One day not long ago, her Commander, the lover to whom she had entrusted her life, her husband, suddenly left the Port District without warning, disappearing as if he had evaporated from the world.

No longer able to feel the Commander's presence, the Port District, which had lost its banner, quickly disintegrated. No one knew the despair in Enterprise's heart. She began to fight again, more powerful and more insane than ever before, because Enterprise without the Commander had no meaning to exist. Since she couldn't find the Commander, she would simply sink into battle, sink into the deep sea.

It wasn't until she accidentally came to this world and felt the Commander's presence that Enterprise rekindled her hope.

"Commander, where are you? What are you doing at this very moment?"

Enterprise leaned against the railing on the rooftop, gazing into the distance towards Huaxia, muttering to herself.

But for some reason, today, Enterprise's heart was always faintly uneasy, as if something bad was happening.

"Enterprise, it's time to go to work. Come on back."

A beautiful woman with blue hair and a gentle and quiet temperament came onto the rooftop, calling out to Enterprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to go to Huaxia to find your relatives? After we finish the work here, I'll go to the mainland with you and introduce you to a friend."
