Chapter 981 - Chapter 981

Takumi did not pay attention to the matters on the space station.

After learning that the people had been successfully sent up, Takumi stopped caring about it.

If those guys made trouble, there would be plenty of people to deal with them.

There was no need for Takumi to help.

At this time, Takumi was free after finishing these matters.

He did not need to worry too much about work.

As long as he only needed the results, Takumi would not care about the process and details.

On the contrary, keqing was quite busy.

After all, she handled many things herself.

Faced with keqing's workaholic attitude, Takumi had long since gotten used to it.

So there was nothing surprising about it.

Takumi lay flat on the sofa.

Just as he was scrolling through his phone and looking around casually,

a hearty voice suddenly sounded outside the manor.

"Takumi, are you there?"

Takumi was slightly surprised when he heard the voice.

He immediately got up and walked outside.

"Beidou?"

When Takumi came out, he saw the visitor.

After confirming it was Beidou, he was even more surprised.

"So you're really at home."

"I made a useless trip to the General Affairs Department."

"You people are really getting lazy."

"I thought you'd be working in the General Affairs Department."

Beidou complained as she walked in.

"How did you come back?"

"No ship?"

To be honest, seeing Beidou surprised Takumi.

After all, Big Sister Beidou was either sailing or on the way to sail.

She never really rested.

She was even busier than keqing.

But whenever she returned, she usually brought back some specialties for everyone.

Soon after, she would leave again.

In her words, the market was so good now that it would be a pity not to make more money.

It was precisely because of Beidou's tireless efforts that her fleet had grown.

Three large ships, plus several smaller ones.

Beidou had become Liyue's shipping tycoon.

"Business hasn't been very good lately, and after air freight appeared, my business dropped a lot."

"So I decided to come back and rest for a while."

"I was planning to find you for a drink, but I didn't expect you not to be in the General Affairs Department!"

After saying this, she was speechless for a moment.

It was said that Takumi had not gone to the General Affairs Department for quite some time.

This guy was definitely too lazy.

Hearing this, Takumi was momentarily speechless.

"You're finally willing to rest."

"You never stopped before."

"Sit down."

Takumi waved for Beidou to come in and sit.

Beidou was not polite and sat directly on the sofa.

Then she took out the wine she had brought from her spatial storage.

Not only that, she also took out several cooked dishes.

She had obviously been to Xiangling.

Seeing the food, Takumi understood immediately.

These dishes were made by Xiangling.

In just a moment, the table was filled with appetizers.

"Come on, let's drink!"

"It's been a long time since we last drank together, so don't try to refuse today."

"You don't have anything to do anyway."

After saying that, she handed over a whole jar of wine.

She planned to drink straight from the jar.

Takumi glanced at the wine.

Qingce Village Winery.

Indeed, it was from their own winery.

It seemed she really liked this wine.

Takumi was not polite and drank with her directly.

Alcohol had almost no effect on Takumi anymore.

Drinking wine was basically like drinking plain water.

Beidou, on the other hand, had always been a heavy drinker.

So when she drank, it was quite something.

The two drank wine while eating snacks.

Beidou talked to Takumi about many overseas matters.

"Let me tell you, you might not know how popular Liyue is in other countries now."

"Many people want to come to Liyue to find work."

"Liyue has become a place where people rush to make money."

"Many Liyue merchants have also made crazy profits overseas these past few years."

"I have to say, these changes happened so fast."

"In just two or three years, Liyue has become like this."

"It feels like a dream."

As Beidou spoke about Liyue, she sighed inwardly.

Liyue's changes were truly too fast.

Almost changing every single day.

There were several more cities now.

She would go to sea for a while and, upon returning, hear about new changes again.

It really felt dreamlike.

Even while abroad, she could still see Liyue's situation through the network.

Since Takumi arrived in Liyue, the place had been developing at breakneck speed.

The two chatted and drank.

Soon, Ningguang also returned from outside.

When she saw Beidou at home, she was not surprised.

She had already heard from Takumi that Beidou was there.

"I'm back?"

"Come sit down and have a drink!"

Seeing Ningguang return, Beidou immediately greeted her.

She invited her to sit down and drink together.

Seeing this, Ningguang did not refuse and sat beside Takumi.

Then she joined their small banquet.

Although Ningguang and Beidou often bickered, she was still happy to see Beidou return.

Otherwise, she would not have come back deliberately.

"How long do you plan to stay in Liyue?"

"When are you going back to sea?"

Ningguang did not like drinking straight from the jar.

She took a sip from her wine cup and asked Beidou.

Hearing this, Beidou looked at Ningguang with some confusion.

"Why, do you need me to do something?"

Usually, when Ningguang asked this, it meant there was work.

Otherwise, she would not ask so directly.

Ningguang shook her head.

"No, I'm just concerned."

"You've been traveling at sea for the past two years."

"If this keeps up, you might not even recognize Liyue anymore."

"And you barely stay in your manor after buying it."

"You might as well sell it at this rate."

After saying this, Ningguang rolled her eyes at Beidou.

Was it really that she only contacted Beidou when she needed something done?

That was going too far.

She was just showing a bit of concern.

Seeing Ningguang like this, Beidou immediately felt awkward.

"Emm…"

"You're acting strange."

"Did you become like this after getting together with Takumi?"

Beidou looked at Ningguang with a puzzled expression.

Concern?

That was rare.

Takumi watched the two with a faint smile.

"You two actually have a really good relationship."

Although there were rumors that the two were rivals,

in reality, their conflict was only superficial.

Deep down, their relationship was still very good.

Hearing Takumi's words, neither of them denied it.

Perhaps they did not get along very well at first.

After all, their positions were different.

But after a long time and more cooperation,

no matter how bad a relationship was, it would eventually improve.
