The finances of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor are basically managed by Nuwa.
Otherwise, if someone else managed them, it would be a complete mess.
Hu Tao was not happy about this.
Just like last year, when Nuwa had not yet taken over the finances.
A pile of matters was in chaos, which made Hu Tao very depressed.
In the end, she could only ask Himeko for help.
Then Himeko told her to find Takumi to obtain authorization and let artificial intelligence take over.
The effect was naturally unquestionable.
After using Nuwa, Hu Tao finally made the company's finances run smoothly.
After having Nuwa, financial matters became extremely easy.
Hu Tao was also handling her own affairs at this time.
After learning that the General Affairs Department had begun paying wages, she decisively asked Nuwa to start paying her wages and dividends as well.
For a time, today became a unified payday.
After the salaries were paid and the final handovers were completed, many places directly announced the holiday.
Some people who needed to work overtime were left behind, while the rest had already started their holidays.
After the holiday began, many people started spending their wages.
Buying cars for the New Year, or purchasing new houses.
With a new car or house, celebrating the New Year became much more convenient.
Because of this, the sales departments became extremely busy.
This situation did not ease until the Chinese New Year.
On New Year's Eve, many people gathered here.
The Thirteen Flame-Chasers, Lumine, Jianhu, and others all arrived.
They planned to celebrate the New Year together with Takumi and the others.
This year, Xiangling was also pulled over to help cook.
Because of this, Takumi's place was extremely lively.
Klee and the other little ones were running around in the yard.
Xiao Zhi was also mixed in.
Those who did not know might think Xiao Zhi was also a child.
Calling her a child did not seem wrong.
After all, it had only been a few years since she was born.
In the kitchen, Nuwa, Ai, and Huo Yao were busy.
In the yard on the other side,
Chiyo, Lumine, Makoto, Mei, and Dr. Mei sat together chatting.
Those who did not know might think they were sisters.
Takumi looked at the lively scene and could not help smiling.
"Takumi, help me!"
At this moment, Paimon's voice rang out.
She had been caught by a group of girls and could not escape.
Lumine had disappeared somewhere.
Completely abandoning Paimon.
Elysia, Eden, Mobius, and the others firmly held Paimon, preventing her from running away.
Mobius was especially eye-catching.
It seemed she truly wanted to study Paimon.
At this moment, Paimon felt she was facing an unprecedented crisis.
She panicked.
Extremely flustered.
That Lumine did not know which corner she had run off to.
Paimon could only turn to Takumi for help.
Facing Paimon's plea, Takumi spread his hands.
"It can't be saved. Just wait to die."
Good grief, a group of women rescued you?
Don't mess around.
Just obediently become today's toy.
"Waaaaah!"
"No, hurry and save me!"
Paimon was about to cry.
Why?
Elysia was not very happy when she heard Paimon's words.
"Little Paimon, do you think we're not nice?"
"Someone even came to rescue you."
"Then I won't give you food."
As she spoke, Elysia took back the snacks in her hand.
How dare she despise them?
She needed to be punished.
"N-no… Elysia!"
"It's her, she's been staring at me strangely."
"I'm scared!"
She was not afraid of Elysia.
She was afraid of Mobius.
That woman had been staring at her like she was a lab subject.
This made Paimon's entire body tense.
So she wanted to escape.
Far away from that woman.
Elysia immediately laughed after hearing the explanation.
"Don't be afraid."
"That snake won't."
"Right, Snake?"
Elysia smiled and looked at Mobius.
"Hmph."
Mobius did not reply.
She was simply very curious about Paimon.
Curious about what kind of existence she was.
An elf?
Or something else?
No matter what, Mobius was extremely interested.
She really wanted to study Paimon.
But now was not a good time.
Thinking this way, she stopped staring at Paimon.
Instead, she went to chat with others.
Seeing this, Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she wasn't being stared at, anything was fine.
But she still felt uneasy.
This was outrageous.
Paimon really wanted to hide immediately.
That woman was terrifying.
While everyone was playing around, it did not take long for Xiangling's voice to come from inside.
"Dinner is ready!"
Hearing this, Takumi stood up and said to everyone:
"Alright, let's go in and eat."
After speaking, Takumi walked in first.
The others hurriedly followed.
The group returned to the manor.
Dinner officially began.
Today was a reunion day.
Many families were having dinner together.
People who worked far away had returned home.
This was also the favorite festival of children.
Because everyone would receive red envelopes.
Although the red envelopes might later be taken by parents,
children could still use them to buy snacks.
Liyue had many kinds of snacks now, which children loved.
After dinner, everyone began lighting firecrackers in the yard.
Takumi and the others could hear the sounds from far away.
The firecrackers were like a signal.
Soon, firecrackers rang continuously throughout Liyue.
Liyue Harbor, Guili Plains, Jueyun Karst, Qingxu Pool, The Chasm, Mingyun Village.
The sounds echoed one after another.
Some people even began setting off fireworks.
As time passed, the television station began broadcasting the New Year's Eve program.
Takumi's group ate while watching the show.
Klee was eating while listening to Nuwa explain, then ran outside after hearing the firecrackers.
"It's time to set off the fireworks!"
She was the most excited.
She jumped up and ran out.
The other little girls hurriedly followed.
Soon, crackling sounds came from outside.
After finishing, Klee returned to continue eating.
Seeing this, everyone laughed.
There would be fireworks later.
Takumi handed the fireworks to Klee.
She had been waiting for this.
After dinner, everyone did not leave immediately.
Instead, they sat together chatting.
Late at night, fireworks rose into the sky and exploded continuously.
As they watched the fireworks, everyone fell silent.
All of Liyue was setting off fireworks.
Looking up, fireworks filled the entire sky.
One could imagine just how lively it was.
