If Fang Xun could give her extra pay, then she'd have money for recuperating!

Faced with such a secretarial job, Ningguang was naturally tempted.

However, she didn't rush to agree, because high income meant high capability.

Little Ningguang worried she wouldn't be competent for the secretarial work.

"Brother Fang Xun, I'm very tempted by what you've said,"

"but I'm afraid I don't have the ability to be a secretary."

Seeing Ningguang's hesitant yet eager expression, Fang Xun couldn't help but chuckle, "Just based on this itinerary you've made, you have the ability, I'm telling you."

"Don't worry, I won't give you heavy tasks, you can rest assured."

"Because I'll be recruiting other secretaries after you, so your workload won't be too much, right?"

Listening to Fang Xun's encouragement, Ningguang finally relaxed.

"Okay then, Brother Fang Xun, I'm willing to be your secretary!"

Chapter 10: Reforming the Little Pitiful

What a steal!

Fang Xun absolutely hit the jackpot by taking in this little pitiful, Ningguang!

You have to know, twenty years later, merchants would have to spend tens of millions of Mora just for a single dinner engagement with Ningguang, and that was only for her time during dinner.

If they wanted to buy a full day of Ningguang's time, the price would be even higher!

Yet here Fang Xun was, having spent only fifty thousand Mora to take Little Ningguang as his little shadow.

This investment was definitely worth it!

After all, having a secretary to do things for you...

Just then, Ningguang spoke, "Then Brother Fang Xun... no, Mister Fang Xun, allow me to show you around Liyue next."

Little Ningguang felt that since she was now Fang Xun's secretary, it would be better to use a more formal address.

But Fang Xun found it awkward, and said helplessly, "Ningguang, just keep calling me 'brother'. I'm really not used to being called 'Mister'."

Ningguang stuck out her tongue and playfully replied, "I'm a bit unaccustomed to it too. In that case, I'll just call you brother, Brother Fang Xun~"

The little lass paused, then looked down at the itinerary and said, "Then Brother Fang Xun, our first stop today is to listen to Tian Tiezui tell stories..."

Before she could finish, Fang Xun interrupted, "Little Ningguang, I think we need to change our first stop."

"Change the itinerary?" Ningguang blinked her clear, bright eyes and asked in surprise.

Didn't Fang Xun just say the itinerary was fine?

She didn't understand why it needed to be changed.

But Fang Xun was her superior now, and she had to follow his arrangements.

Little Ningguang took out a piece of paper, ready to record Fang Xun's words.

Although Ningguang had no experience as a secretary, she wanted to do her best, and she looked quite professional.

Seeing Ningguang's confused expression, Fang Xun gently nodded, "Yes, we're changing our first stop."

As he spoke, Fang Xun's gaze swept over Ningguang's coarse cloth clothes and her bare feet.

"Let's change it to buying clothes and shoes for you."

Ningguang heard this and her mouth dropped open in surprise, "Eh??"

The little lass looked dazed, she hadn't quite grasped what was happening.

By the time she came to her senses, Fang Xun had already brought her to a shoe store.

Ningguang looked up at Fang Xun beside her, then shook her head pleadingly, "Brother Fang Xun, buying these things will cost a lot of money, let's just forget it."

"I think it's fine not wearing shoes, I've gotten used to it over the years."

"Besides, you're already treating me well enough, I absolutely cannot let you spend more money!"

Ningguang kept shaking her head, trying to pull Fang Xun's arm to leave, but she was, after all, just a young lass who hadn't developed yet.

How could she possibly move an adult Fang Xun?

Seeing Fang Xun remain unmoved, The little girl's tears welled up in her eyes, She looked like she was about to cry any second.

Looking at Little Ningguang's pitiful expression, Fang Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He knew Ningguang didn't want to spend money, That's why she was reluctant to buy these things.

Fang Xun had already anticipated all of this.

With that, he squatted down and said seriously to Ningguang, "Little Ningguang, as my secretary, you represent my image to some extent."

"If you go out with me dressed like this, it's definitely not acceptable, so I'm going to give you a makeover."

Fang Xun paused and continued, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm not giving you these things for free, and you don't need to repay me."

"The expenses for today's shopping will be deducted from your salary next month. What do you think?"

Other children cry and beg for new clothes and shoes, But this little ancestor, Cried and begged not to buy them, even trying to pull Fang Xun away.

She was foolishly adorable.

Listening to Fang Xun's lecture, Ningguang's emotions slowly calmed down.

If the cost of shopping was deducted from her salary next month, it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

Most importantly, Fang Xun was right.

Ningguang's current identity was Fang Xun's secretary, and she would be going out with him.

She couldn't possibly go out dressed like this.

Seeing that Little Ningguang didn't speak, Fang Xun knew she had compromised.

He smiled, pinched Ningguang's cheek, and then led the little girl into the shoe store.

"Welcome. What can I help you with today?"

The store manager was a woman, dressed in a traditional Liyue blue qipao.

Fang Xun said naturally, "Please help my sister pick out a pair of shoes that suit her."

The store manager, seeing Fang Xun's seemingly wealthy demeanor, immediately stepped forward and began helping Ningguang pick out shoes.

The little girl didn't look at the appearance of the shoes first, nor did she consider how comfortable they were.

She looked at the price.

Having lived a poor life, the little girl always bought the cheapest things, And shoes were no exception.

In the end, Fang Xun had no choice but to ask the store manager to put the prices aside for now, And only let Ningguang choose based on appearance and comfort.

As the clean and beautiful shoes were placed on her feet, Ningguang felt an indescribable emotion.

Since she could remember, she had never worn shoes.

She had gone barefoot all these years.

So this was what it felt like to wear shoes. The ground felt soft, and she didn't have to worry about sharp stones.

Ningguang's beautiful eyes flickered towards Fang Xun, filled with gratitude.

She knew, These changes were all brought about by Fang Xun.

This is my first time writing a Genshin fanfiction.

There might be some issues, I hope everyone can offer suggestions, and I will write them down and correct them in the future.

At the same time, I am very grateful for everyone's love and support.

Your support is the motivation for my daily updates!
