"A nail care kit is something that can make your nails look beautiful and also take care of them."

"nail?"

"Hmm, shall I make one for you?"

"it is good."

Shen He extended his beautiful right hand.

Xia Zhi gently squeezed her hand, feeling its softness.

Shen He's fingernails are very clean, with evenly spaced lunulae, indicating a good foundation.

"Let me make this clear first, I've never done manicures before, so my results might not be good."

"It's ok."

A gleam of joy flashed in Shen He's eyes.

This was the boss's first time.

Xia Zhi chose a light pink nail polish, dipped it in the brush, and carefully applied it to Shen He's index fingernail.

The nail polish is of very good quality; it melts easily with just a little swipe and spreads evenly on the nails.

In the morning sunlight, the nails shimmered with a pinkish luster, which was very alluring.

"Does it look good?"

"nice."

"Yes, I think it looks good too."

Xia Zhi nodded in satisfaction.

"Shen He, do you know?"

"what?"

"This nail polish is actually edible."

"what?"

Shen He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Xia Zhi lower his head, bring his face close, open his lips, and gently take her finger into his mouth.

She felt that her fingers were a little damp and warm.

strange.

But I don't dislike it.

Xia Zhi tasted it and found that the nail polish had a peculiar sweetness.

However, because he had eaten fruit candy earlier, his mouth still tasted like green apples, which was a bit off.

Pity.

Xia Zhi looked up at Shen He, who was in a daze, and said with a smile, "We're even."

Even? Does something like this even need to be evened out?

Shen He blinked, feeling that his boss looked like a serious little kid.

She couldn't help but smile slightly and said softly, "Okay."

In the afternoon, Xingqiu arrived at the store as promised.

"Mr. Xia, how is the Chess King Tournament going?"

“I already spoke with Miss Ningguang yesterday. She said she would tell her subordinates about it when she got back, and Young Master Xingqiu can just go to the General Affairs Department to submit the application.”

"As expected of Mr. Xia!"

Xingqiu immediately looked on with admiration.

"As expected, he has a deep friendship with Lady Ningguang."

"I've already said, those rumors circulating in the streets are false."

"I know."

“You don’t understand… Never mind, go back and prepare for this. Let’s first figure out the competition’s procedures and rules.”

"Yes, I'll go back and discuss this with my older brother. Once we have the results, I'll come back to Mr. Xia to discuss and confirm them."

"it is good."

Xingqiu left with great enthusiasm.

Today, just before the end of the workday, Miss Ningguang finally arrived with her knowledgeable secretary.

This way of pinching the points makes it easier to massage.

"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"fine."

"After receiving a massage from Mr. Xia yesterday, I finally got a good night's sleep."

"Your hair doesn't seem dry yet... Miss Ningguang, have you taken a shower?"

"Ah."

"There's no need to be so formal. After all, it's not a full-body massage. Please lie down."

"Okay, I've already given instructions regarding the Chess King Tournament that Mr. Xia mentioned to me yesterday."

"Thank you, Miss Ningguang."

"The rules for this competition haven't been finalized yet, have they?"

"not yet."

"Will there be restrictions on eligibility?"

"Probably not. Mahjong is different from cooking. It doesn't have high requirements for players. Anyone who knows how to play mahjong can participate."

"So, I can participate too?"

"Yes... Miss Ningguang would like to participate as well?"

"Hmm, I think it sounds interesting. I wonder what the prizes are for the competition?"

"It's not set up yet. Do you have any suggestions, Ningguang?"

"If we remain silent, we will make a stunning debut. Just like the martial arts tournament held by Beidou before, it would be best if we could produce a grand prize like the Eye of God."

"I don't have the Eye of God."

"The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is a large and powerful organization with plenty of good stuff."

“That’s true. Let Young Master Xingqiu go ahead with his work. I’m just here for the fun of it… By the way, Miss Ningguang, I thought about the Northern Bank and Liyue Bank seriously last night and wrote something down.”

"Oh?"

"I'll give it to you in a bit; I hope it will be helpful."

"Mr. Xia, you are very kind."

Ningguang closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage, not really expecting much from it, since Xia Zhi hadn't offered any particularly insightful opinions on the matter yesterday.

After the massage and having dinner, Ningguang returned to Yuehaiting with a stack of notes Xia Zhi had given her.

Then there is no more then.

To be honest, the lights in Ningguang's office didn't go out all night.

Chapter 212 Mr. Xia's Great Talent

Its daybreak.

"Lady Ningguang, you should rest now."

"Ah."

"I'll go get you a basin of water."

"it is good."

Ningguang looked up from her notebook, glanced at the faint morning light outside the window, and gently twisted her stiff neck.

She felt her eyes were a little dry, her mouth had a slightly bitter taste, and her lower back was a little sore...

This is the consequence of sitting for long periods and staying up late.

Although I wasn't feeling well, seeing these things made it all worthwhile!

Ningguang lowered her head, looking at the stack of notes, a peculiar expression in her eyes.

No one but herself would know just how terrifying the power of those seemingly light papers in her hands truly was.

Currency wars... currency wars... this is something that will change the balance of power among the seven kingdoms...

Ningguang fell into deep thought.

Until her personal secretary brought over a washbasin.
