Ye Ming was puzzled. To be honest, when he was working for a state-owned enterprise, Ye Ming never attended banquets that required dancing, and even less so now that he was in a private company.
"Well, it's a Mond International banquet. It's said that some decision-making executives and shareholders from Mond International's European headquarters will be coming recently. This banquet is being held to welcome them."

Chapter 69: Good Woman, Jean
"Mond International?"
Hearing Fu Hua say this, Ye Ming remembered that when he was chatting with Fu Hua a few days ago, Fu Hua did mention that the company she joined was called Mond International.
According to Fu Hua, Mond International is a large multinational group headquartered in Europe with strong financial resources. Because it wanted to try to enter the mainland market this year, it began to recruit people on a large scale. Fu Hua, who just graduated this year, entered Mond International in this way.
Why does this plot feel so familiar?
Thinking of this, Ye Ming was stunned.
When he heard Fu Hua say this a few days ago, he just thought that the name Mond was a bit like Mondstadt in Genshin Impact, but he didn't think much about it. But today, after experiencing Keqing's matter, when he thought about Mond's information again, Ye Ming quickly became alert.
Headquartered abroad, a large multinational group with strong financial resources, although its business is extensive, it has never been involved in the huge mainland market until this year when it began to try to enter...
Isn't this kind of plot a replica of Keqing and Liyue International?
Could it be that Mond International, where Fu Hua works, was created by the girls from Mondstadt in the game?
Although thinking this way is a bit of a peach blossom fantasy, after Laffey in Azure and Keqing in Genshin Impact came to his door one after another, and Okita Souji, Jeanne Alter, and Scáthach from Chaldea disappeared one after another, the name Mond International and its similar development trajectory to Liyue International, really make people can't help but have many associations.
If Mond International is really Mondstadt from the game...
The first person Ye Ming thought of was the fire-type loli Klee, who likes to bomb fish.
Of course, Ye Ming is not a lolicon. The first person he thought of was not because Klee is cute, but, how should he put it, he was a little worried that Klee would cause big trouble.
So far, the girls who have appeared around Ye Ming, whether it is Laffey or Keqing, have no intention of causing trouble. Ye Ming once asked Laffey if she would not be used to this ordinary life, and if she would be bored on days when she didn't have to sortie. Unsurprisingly, he got a negative answer, and Laffey the little angel gave him a good wave of affection.
Considering Laffey's Ship-Girl identity, Ye Ming also asked Laffey if she had the urge to go to sea or fire cannons, and also got a negative answer. Obviously, for a lazy loli who looks sleepy all day long like a salted fish, an ordinary life without sorties is still very pleasant.
Keqing's answer was also similar.
But if Klee also comes to this world, wouldn't she bury bombs under the concrete, fire cannons in the city, and set fire to the mountains?
Just thinking about it gives him a headache.
A bunch of messy thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Based on the idea that if there is a problem, he should ask it and never procrastinate, Ye Ming directly asked Fu Hua.
"I remember you are the general manager's secretary at Mond International. I also remember you said that the general manager of Mond International is a girl. Can I ask her name in advance? Also, what is the name of the chairman of Mond International?"
"The general manager of Mond International is the chairman of Mond International." Fu Hua first corrected Ye Ming's statement, and then replied, "She comes from an ancient French aristocratic family - the Péché Family. Because of her family background, she gave herself the Chinese name Péché after coming to Huaxia. We all call her Miss Péché."
"Pfft!"
Ye Ming laughed directly.
"Péché? The legendary Peppa Pig? Why would she take such a strange name? Didn't anyone tell her that this name is strange?"
"What's so funny!? Miss Péché is a very excellent person, hardworking and self-disciplined, cares about her subordinates, and is respected."
Fu Hua glared at Ye Ming and warned, "Don't be so rude when you attend the banquet with me in a few days and see her."
After speaking, she began to explain, "Although she comes from a French noble family, Miss Péché knows Huaxia culture very well. She speaks Mandarin even better than many native Huaxia people. She knows everything about online memes, pinyin abbreviations, and even homophones. How could Miss Péché, who knows Huaxia culture so well, not know Peppa Pig?"
"Obviously, although she knows, she just doesn't care. Miss Péché is such an excellent and self-disciplined person, how could she give up her family name because of a mere homonym?"
"Everyone in the company thinks so, so no one seeks embarrassment in front of Miss Péché."
Keqing's explanation was reasonable. Ye Ming thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. How could a noble family that has been passed down for who knows how many years change its name because of such a boring coincidence?
However, the name Péché also temporarily dispelled the suspicion in Ye Ming's heart - such a unique name, if it really existed in Genshin Impact, it would definitely be unforgettable, but Ye Ming's memory does not have a similar name.
After dispelling his suspicion, Ye Ming realized a serious problem: "It's okay for me to accompany you to the banquet, but the problem is, I can't dance."
Ye Ming was a little embarrassed. He was just a child from an ordinary family, went to school normally, grew up normally, and worked normally. How could he have the opportunity to come into contact with ballroom dancing?
"I can't either."
Fu Hua slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "But we can practice together. I searched online, and this kind of ballroom dancing is not complicated. If two people practice together, a few days is enough to cope with a banquet."
"Okay."
Since Fu Hua said so, Ye Ming would naturally not refuse: "Then what about clothes, do we need to customize them in advance?"
Fu Hua was prepared: "I have already contacted the store, let's take some time to go and see tomorrow night."
"Okay!"
Stroking Fu Hua's smooth back, Ye Ming responded.
A look of happiness flashed across her face. Fu Hua, who had successfully achieved her goal, breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to find that the mobile phone on the bedside table, which had been muted and set to do not disturb, was flashing an indicator light for incoming messages.
Fu Hua held down Ye Ming's groping hand and motioned for Ye Ming, who was closer to the bedside table, to help her get the phone. Ye Ming obediently did so.
After taking the phone, Fu Hua opened it and saw that it was a WeChat message sent to her by her boss.
"How's it going? Is your relationship smooth sailing? Did you win over the person you like?"
Seeing the message, Fu Hua smiled slightly.
Her boss was an almost frighteningly disciplined person, not only creating a work plan for herself that was accurate to the minute, but even specifying the exact seconds for eating and drinking. Yet, this workaholic was a very kind person, caring for her subordinates and full of love.
When she heard that Fu Hua wanted to take leave for relationship matters, she approved her vacation without hesitation. Now, she was concerned enough to send a message asking about it.
"It's going well. We're together now, thanks to your help. Thank you!"
Fu Hua sent a heartfelt reply of gratitude.
"You're welcome. It's all thanks to your own efforts. I just provided a little insignificant convenience. If you two have any problems in the future, you're always welcome to confide in me. That's all, I wish you happiness!"
"Thank you! We will definitely be happy!"
After replying, Fu Hua's mind conjured up the image of her brisk and heroic superior with a neat golden ponytail when she asked for leave today, recalling the sincere and warm smile when her superior approved the vacation and sent her blessings, and she sighed secretly.
What a good person.
Chapter 70 Enterprise: Stalking Keqing, Finding the Commander
"Thank you! We will definitely be happy!"
In the CEO's office on the top floor of Mond International's office building, Jean held her phone, saw Fu Hua's reply, breathed a sigh of relief, and revealed a gratified smile.
Did I personally bring a couple together?
This feeling is really good.
Jean put down her phone, feeling happy.
Being able to personally join in a plot like a romance novel and play a positive role in it, this feeling was beautiful and wonderful.
In Jean's eyes, Fu Hua was an incredibly talented secretary who made people gasp in amazement and doubt whether she was even human. She could handle all kinds of complicated things at work in an orderly manner. A chaotic mess of work became well-organized after passing through her hands. The secretary named Fu Hua operated as precisely and stably as a machine, which Jean greatly admired.
Being able to personally facilitate the marriage of such an excellent subordinate, privately, was to bring lovers together; publicly, it would allow Fu Hua to have a smooth relationship and devote herself to work in a better state, improving work efficiency. No matter which aspect you looked at it from, it was a happy thing.
So Jean was very happy.
Speaking of which, after inexplicably leaving Teyvat and coming to this world, with her own abilities and past experience, she had smoothly integrated into this world and allowed Mond International to develop to its current massive scale. It could be said that everything was going smoothly.
The only thing that wasn't going smoothly was the initial and most important goal—finding her lover.
What was the point of all this success if she couldn't find her beloved?
Jean was confused. To this day, the only motivation that supported her to work diligently was her responsibility to the others in Mond and the desire to develop her power to find her lover.
Today, she personally facilitated the marriage of her subordinate, allowing her to be with the person she loved, but where was her lover now?
Thinking of this, Jean's mood suddenly dropped.
"Miss Péché, the documents have all been sorted out. Would you like to review them?"
In her disappointment, someone knocked on the door and said in a low voice.
"Yes, bring them in."
Jean sighed softly, braced herself, took the documents, and glanced at the time—it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.
"That's all for today. You can go home."
Jean said.
"Okay, Miss Péché, please take care of yourself too."
When saying the name Péché, the newly hired rookie employee couldn't help but glance at Jean, and then, as if she had done something wrong, quickly lowered her head and quietly left the office.
Jean frowned.
In fact, this wasn't the first time someone had looked at her with that kind of expression when calling her name.
