Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

"Hello, I have a part-time job here to repair a tomb. Are you willing to do it?"

Wu Ye arrived at the dock early in the morning and saw several laborers having breakfast. He found a laborer who was close-eyed and asked.

"Repair a grave? Well, where is it? I have to move the goods onto the ship later. If it's too far..."

"At the foot of Tianheng Mountain."

"This is too far."

"After the matter is completed, I am willing to pay you 20,000 molas, which is enough for your day's wages."

"Okay... boss, please lead the way and I'll follow."

The laborer quickly finished the rice in the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth with his old sleeve, and then followed Wu Ye out of the dock.

Liyue Port in the early morning is not deserted, but is very lively. Various vendors have occupied the streets early, shouting at the vegetable sellers, setting up small sheds to sell breakfast, slaughtering cattle and sheep for meat, and riding horses to sell food. Newspaper shop is bustling with cars and horses.

"By the way, master, I haven't asked you your name yet."

Wu Ye watched Li Gong follow him step by step, not daring to walk forward side by side with him, so he spoke casually.

"Boss, just call me Dahu."

"Big Tiger?!"

"Well, boss, what's wrong?"

"Haha, it's okay. I just remembered an old friend. It seems like this is fate."

The laborer named Dahu didn't know why, but he also started to laugh.

"You don't have to be so respectful to me. Our relationship is just an employment relationship. Let's go together. Otherwise, I will always look back at you, for fear that you will suddenly turn back and go to the dock."

"How could it be? It's much easier to repair a grave than to move goods at the dock."

Dahu scratched his head and chose to take two quick steps and walked side by side with Wu Ye.

......

"Boss, I've done it. Take a look."

Hearing Dahu's voice, Wu Ye, who was reading the book in front of Xiaolong's tombstone, came back to his senses and looked at the repaired tomb.

"Well, very good. It's much better than the original one. So, take the 20,000 molas. It's what you deserve."

"Okay, okay, thank you boss, thank you boss, I'll go back first."

"Okay, let's go back and rest."

"No, it's just past midnight. I'll rush back to the dock now so I can earn more wages. Boss, if you need any help in the future, please just come to me. I'm basically at the dock. I'll leave first."

After saying that, Dahu bowed slightly to Wu Ye, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Only then did Wu Ye realize that this laborer in his prime had deep wrinkles and gray hair.

It seems that life is not easy for ordinary people in every world. They wake up early and work late at night, just for a few scraps of money.

......

By the time Wu Ye slowly walked to the door of Yamoxuan, it was already midnight.

"Mr. Wu, are you here?!"

Li Sishu, who was sitting at the front desk, spotted Wu Ye walking in with his sharp eyes. He quickly stood up and greeted.

"Brother Secretary Secretary, you don't have to be so polite. Didn't you tell me before that you can just call me Wu Ye? I'm here today to see how the sales of "White" are."

"Haha, then I listen to you, Wu Ye. In the past few days, the clerk said that you only came once and then left in a hurry. I know that you must be busy with something important, so I have already done the statistics for you in advance. Waiting for you to come."

"Well, Jing Guan, hurry up and get two chairs and some grown tea leaves. I want to negotiate with Mr. Wu here."

Li Sishu first smiled cheerfully at Wu Ye, and then whispered to the clerk standing next to him.

After the clerk placed the chairs and made tea, Li Sishu reached out and gestured:

"Wu Ye, please sit down quickly. These tea leaves were given to me by an old friend after I gave them up for half a month, and he gave them to me. Please try them."

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Secretary... Yeah! The taste is indeed extraordinary, good tea, good tea!"

Wu Ye gave a thumbs up and praised it, but in fact he didn't taste it at all because he didn't understand tea at all and usually drank tea just like drinking water.

"Well, Brother Secretary, I have something else that I need to go to in person later, so please let me know as soon as possible."

Wu Ye didn't plan to drag it out any longer. He would have to find Ke Qing later.

"Okay, Wu Ye, since you are in a hurry, let me give you the sales list of "White" these days. You can take it back and check it carefully. I also have the corresponding detailed bill here. If you think there is something wrong with it, , you can come back to Yamoxuan to check. Oh, and this is the profit from the sale of "White", split 50-50, I have already calculated the Maura you deserve and put it in a cloth bag for you."

Li Sishu first handed Wu Ye a watch, and then gave Wu Ye a cloth bag.

"Okay, Brother Secretary, thank you. I've really troubled you today. I'll come to apologize to you another day when this thing is over."

Wu Ye cupped his hands, then picked up the things and turned around.

"In other words, I treated you as a friend when we first met. Wu Ye, please don't be polite to me. I'll give you a treat."

......

After Wu Ye left Yamoxuan, he opened the sales chart given by Li Sishu. It showed that the sales volume of "White" on the first day of publication was 205 copies, the second day was 96 copies, the third day was 23 copies, and the fourth day was only 16 copies. copies.

Today is the fifth day, but Wu Ye knows that there will be fewer people buying "White" today. It is estimated that in a few days, no one will be interested in the first book he wrote.

Wu Ye did the math and found that a total of 340 copies were sold in the past four days, and the total profit was mola. If he took half of it, it would be mola.

Wu Ye opened the bag and took a look, using a gold measuring instrument to measure the exact number, no more, no less.

"Haha."

Wu Ye smiled softly, looking a little disappointed but quickly relieved.

"Yes, you can never succeed in doing anything right away. Maybe your first book is really not good, so you can't force many people to like reading your book. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, let alone writing a book. First If you don’t write the first one well, then learn from your mistakes and write the second one. Don’t get discouraged!”

Wu Ye thought to himself.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Wu Ye suddenly burst out laughing, causing passers-by to look sideways.

"How can things in this world be as everyone wants, but I want to be worthy of my heart? What's more, the sky does not give birth to useless people, and the earth does not grow nameless grass. One day, my book will definitely be famous in Liyue!"

Wu Ye didn't care about the eyes of others, laughed and walked forward minding his own business.
