Hu Tao's current thought was that if she had seen Jiang Chen in Liyue Harbor before,
he would have already become her client.
This was Hu Tao's only thought.
"Thank you for the compliment. I also think I'm very handsome!"
"I just arrived in Liyue not long ago."
"So it's normal that you haven't seen me before."
It was certain that they hadn't met before. If they had, they would probably have become good friends by now.
"Just arrived in Liyue, huh?"
"No wonder I haven't seen you before."
The two chatted for a while, and soon a server came over.
She also knew Hu Tao and Zhongli.
The two ordered some food, and then Hu Tao continued her conversation with Jiang Chen.
"I'm curious, how did you meet our consultant?"
"You just arrived in Liyue, and you already know our consultant."
Hu Tao looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity, then glanced at Zhongli, who was leisurely drinking tea beside her.
Seeing Zhongli, Hu Tao was reminded of the pile of bills at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
She immediately felt a surge of anger.
"Zhongli, you must go out and find clients later!!"
"Ugh, next time, don't send your bills back home."
"The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is out of money!!"
Every time she saw the bills Zhongli sent back, her blood pressure would spike.
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Zhongli didn't say much this time.
Instead, he nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't be sending any more bills to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for a while."
Coincidentally, he had met a fool yesterday who was willing to cover all his expenses.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Hey, had he met Childe's wallet?
Good grief!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at Zhongli with great interest.
Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Zhongli thought Jiang Chen had figured something out.
He also nodded at Jiang Chen.
Yes, Jiang Chen probably knew who it was.
"Oh?"
"Did you find that fool?"
Hu Tao was immediately intrigued when she heard this.
Zhongli wouldn't be sending bills to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor anymore?
That meant someone was willing to cover Zhongli's expenses.
He really had found a fool.
"Someone has asked me to handle some matters."
"So I won't need to spend the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's money for a while."
He would also share the burden for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
"In that case, why not take this opportunity to make some more money?"
"Zhongli, as the consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, you should help share the burden."
"Since someone is willing to cover your expenses, why not take this chance to earn some extra money?"
Jiang Chen smiled as he gave Zhongli this suggestion.
Opportunities to take advantage of someone don't come often.
Once Childe leaves, the opportunity will be gone.
So, take this chance to make some money.
When Zhongli heard Jiang Chen's words, he was stunned.
Good grief, take this opportunity to make a fortune?
Hu Tao's eyes also lit up.
This idea really resonated with her!
"Exactly!"
"If he's willing to cover your expenses, then it's not too much to ask you to buy some things for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, right?"
Although she didn't know what kind of fool this was,
since someone was willing, Hu Tao was naturally happy.
So, Hu Tao shared some of her ideas.
The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor needed a batch of wood to make coffins.
This task could be handed over to Zhongli.
If he could buy some golden-thread nanmu wood, that would be even better.
Wealthy people loved that stuff.
Once they got it, Hu Tao could also take this opportunity to make some extra money.
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Zhongli felt a bit helpless.
"This isn't appropriate."
Zhongli wasn't the type to do such things.
So he wanted to refuse.
"Hmph!"
"What's inappropriate about it?"
"You have no idea how much money you've spent!"
"No matter how wealthy the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is, it'll eventually go bankrupt at the rate you're spending."
"And you don't even bring in much business."
"It's so infuriating!!"
Although Hu Tao came from a wealthy family, even she couldn't sustain Zhongli's spending habits.
He spent money like water.
At this, Zhongli fell silent.
After all, he knew his own habits.
When it came to money, he really had no concept of it.
Although Mora was created through his divine authority,
he wouldn't just create it himself now.
"I'll do my best."
In the end, Zhongli relented.
Fine, if that's the case, he'd give it a try.
Hearing this, Hu Tao was overjoyed.
"I'm counting on you, Zhongli!"
"I'm looking forward to you bringing back the goods!"
At this moment, Hu Tao was thrilled.
With Zhongli's help, everything would be fine.
At the same time, she was very curious about what kind of fool was willing to support Zhongli's daily expenses.
Didn't they know how terrifying Zhongli's spending habits were?
"I'm curious, who's the one willing to fund you?"
"Such fools are hard to come by."
"Maybe you can promote the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's services to him?"
"He might need them."
Hu Tao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhongli. This was a top-tier client.
Since they were so generous, they must have some need for such services, right?
So Hu Tao really hoped Zhongli could help promote the business.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting nearby, was almost dying of laughter.
Hu Tao's idea wasn't wrong.
Childe really could use the services of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
After all, La Signora might end up dead.
Hmm, and there's also Dottore and Scaramouche!
Jiang Chen refused to let them redeem themselves!
If given the chance, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind taking matters into his own hands.
"I'll do my best to promote it."
Zhongli, hearing Hu Tao's sudden idea, was also full of black lines.
What a headache.
How was he supposed to promote this to Tartaglia?
Indeed, he really wasn't good at dealing with Hu Tao.
Thinking of this, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He really wanted to run away from home.
Perhaps it would be better not to return for the next few days.
After all, if he went back, Hu Tao might chase him around asking about this.
With this in mind, Zhongli made a decision.
He wouldn't return to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor until after the Rite of Descension.
He'd just stay outside for a while.
"Hehe!"
"Good luck, Zhongli."
"You'll have to work hard."
"Whether the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor can make money now depends on you."
At this moment, Hu Tao was very excited.
She never expected to have such a harvest today.
It was truly wonderful.
While everyone was chatting, Xiangling also started serving the food.
She brought over the dishes ordered by Hu Tao and Zhongli as well.
"Hu Tao, Mr. Zhongli."
"I didn't expect you to know Jiang Chen."
Earlier, when she found out about the orders in the kitchen, she was also surprised.
Wasn't that Jiang Chen's table?
Why were Zhongli and Hu Tao also there?
So Xiangling suspected that they knew each other.
Now, seeing them chatting happily, Xiangling knew her guess was correct.
"You also know Jiang Chen?"
Hu Tao turned to look at Xiangling, who was serving the food.
She was a bit surprised.
Didn't Jiang Chen just arrive in Liyue?
It was one thing for him to know Zhongli, but he also knew Xiangling?
"Hehe!"
"We just met."
They had just met.
Hearing this, Hu Tao immediately understood. They must have met when Jiang Chen entered the restaurant.
"I also just met him."
"But Zhongli knew him earlier."
Hu Tao also shared this information.
