Chapter 500

Takumi looked at Azhdaha speechlessly.

Was this really just for the experience of life?

Because he had nothing to do, he decided to work as a porter?

And then ended up becoming the head of the pier?

"Awesome!"

It took Takumi a long time to hold back this sentence.

Truly, a remarkable guy.

Azhdaha laughed and then continued speaking:

"Well, I won't hold you up. I have work to do."

"Let's have a drink some other day!"

After saying that, Azhdaha waved his hand and happily ran off to continue working.

He genuinely enjoyed this life now.

Especially having a bunch of underlings—it felt really cool.

"Such a pity, it would be great if he would help me carry coffins!"

"Such a strong body, yet wasted on moving cargo instead of coffins."

"Wouldn't you agree?"

Hu Tao's voice suddenly rang out from behind Takumi.

She patted Takumi directly on the shoulder, seemingly trying to startle him.

But Takumi wasn't frightened.

Turning his head, he looked at Hu Tao's grinning face and suddenly felt speechless.

"You little troublemaker…"

"What's going on with the insurance?"

Takumi was too lazy to argue.

Did she really want Azhdaha to help carry coffins?

Then maybe she should ask Zhongli for assistance as well.

Hearing Takumi's question, Hu Tao grinned.

"It's going great!"

"After Himeko helped me modify the insurance policies, I asked Zhongli and Yanfei to review them."

"It's officially on sale now."

"And thanks to the automobile industry, many car buyers are now purchasing my insurance."

"Even Yanfei is considering integrating this insurance into traffic regulations."

Speaking of this, she got excited.

If this happened, how much money would she make in the future?

The thought alone filled her with joy.

Takumi looked at Hu Tao with a subtle expression.

"Be honest, how much did you give Yanfei?"

"How did she agree to this?"

Did this girl bribe Yanfei?

Otherwise, how could she have managed to link insurance with traffic laws?

Hearing Takumi's question, Hu Tao immediately looked displeased.

"What do you mean, 'how much did I give Yanfei'?"

"I didn't give her much."

"She made the decision after realizing the importance of the insurance."

"This will reduce property losses for the people of Liyue."

"She thought it was a great idea."

"Don't slander me!"

Hu Tao was very indignant—how could he accuse her of bribery?

Impossible!

She, Hu Tao, was not that kind of person!

Seeing how confidently she rebutted, Takumi remained skeptical.

He stared at Hu Tao firmly.

And then… Hu Tao's confidence gradually weakened.

"Well… I only gave her 2% of the shares…"

"Just a tiny bit…"

Under Takumi's intense stare, Hu Tao started to feel guilty.

Hearing this, the corners of Takumi's mouth twitched slightly.

"Probably more than that, right?"

"And what about Ningguang?"

If Yanfei was involved, then Ningguang must have played a part too.

Even if Yanfei wanted to implement a new law, she would need approval from a certain capitalist.

"Ningguang holds 40% of the shares, and Wangsheng Funeral Parlor holds 58%."

"Ningguang doesn't bother managing it, while Wangsheng Funeral Parlor handles sales."

"Ningguang will also help integrate insurance into various industries."

"Yanfei is in charge of drafting the legal framework."

See? The entire industry chain was already secured.

Not only did she bribe Yanfei, but she also roped in Ningguang.

For a moment, Takumi didn't know what to say.

"As expected of you, Hu Tao!"

Hearing Takumi's words, Hu Tao puffed out her chest proudly.

"Of course!"

"I'm amazing!"

"But I also left some shares for you."

"Here, sign this."

"Just 5%!"

"Since Ningguang provided both capital and manpower, she holds the largest share."

With that, Hu Tao handed over a contract.

Takumi glanced at it and then rolled his eyes.

He didn't refuse.

He decisively signed his name.

Seeing Takumi sign, Hu Tao suddenly grinned.

Now, the people in charge of Liyue Harbor and Guili Plains were all her business partners.

She could practically walk sideways in Liyue now.

Plus, Zhongli was still her subordinate.

This was wonderful!

After finalizing everything, Hu Tao happily put away the equity agreement.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go shopping."

"After being busy for so long, I can finally relax."

With that, Hu Tao grabbed Takumi's arm and dragged him towards the mall.

She had no intention of letting him escape.

Instead, she planned to take Takumi shopping with her.

Seeing her excitement, Takumi knew he couldn't avoid it.

So he didn't resist…

They wandered around the mall but didn't buy anything.

Eventually, they went to the top floor to rest.

There, they unexpectedly ran into Yanfei, Eula, Amber, Collei, and Nilou.

Seeing Takumi and Hu Tao, the group was a little surprised.

"You came just in time, Hu Tao."

"Let me introduce you, these are guests from Sumeru!"

Yanfei waved at them.

Hearing Yanfei's words, Hu Tao's eyes lit up.

She immediately let go of Takumi and rushed forward.

"From Sumeru?"

"I heard that there have been many deaths in Sumeru recently."

"Do you need funeral services?"

"Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is having a discount~~!"

"Buy one, get one free! Order one urn, and I'll give you another for free."

"With free doorstep delivery!"

As soon as Hu Tao arrived, she started promoting funeral packages.

Collei and Nilou were completely stunned.

Good grief.

Even urns were on a buy-one-get-one-free offer?

This was outrageous.

Takumi, who came up behind, knocked Hu Tao on the forehead with his knuckle.

"This girl has some issues. Just ignore her."

What kind of greeting was that?

"Hey! What was that for?!"

Hu Tao yelled in protest.

At this point, she was really starting to resemble a hyperactive paramecium.

Nilou and Collei exchanged awkward glances.

"Miss Hu Tao… is really… eccentric."

Nilou was speechless.

It was the first time she had met such a bizarre person.

Collei nodded in agreement.

"Are all Pyro Vision holders like this?"

She glanced at the Pyro Vision hanging on Hu Tao and couldn't help but wonder.

Hearing this, Yanfei sighed.

"Looks like we might need a new law."

"For example, if someone aggressively sells funeral services, they should be reported to the Qianyan Army and detained for a few days."

At this moment, she was already contemplating how to penalize those who forcefully sell coffins and urns.

Hearing this, Hu Tao became anxious.

"Yanfei, are you doing this on purpose?!"

"You must be!"

"If you pass this law, I'll cut ties with you!!"

She was furious—how could Yanfei betray her after taking her shares?!
