Chapter 388
After Ying took the bag containing the reward back to Brother Cheng's pot, Catherine suddenly asked:
"I happen to have an urgent mission here..."
"Miss Catherine, no need!"
Hearing that Catherine opened her mouth about the new mission, Yingmei subconsciously glanced at Paimon, who had already flown to nowhere, and then looked at him helplessly:
"It's a big holiday..."
"Don't worry, although the time is relatively urgent, this mission will only be carried out within the city and will not go outside the city."
Seemingly sensing her sister's speechlessness, Catherine quickly explained to her that this task would not delay the two of them from enjoying the festival.
"Okay... Miss Catherine, why don't you tell me what the mission is?"
Faced with Catherine's assurance, Yingmei lowered her head and thought for a while before deciding to listen to the specific content of the mission first.
If it doesn't particularly delay things, there's no harm in taking the task next.
emmm, this is her perfect quality as an excellent tool person!
"The mission was entrusted by the General Affairs Department to the Adventurers Association. Because this year's Sea Lantern Festival party has a different format, there are insufficient reserves of some things."
"I roughly understand, it's just an errand task."
When Catherine said this, Yingmei knew what type of mission it was and nodded immediately without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll take this task."
"The client of the mission is Miss Gan Yu from Yuehai Pavilion. You can get the mission content from her when you go to Yuehai Pavilion."
"Paimon, let's go to Moon Sea Pavilion!"
"well!"
Seeing Ying turning around and heading in the direction of Yuehai Pavilion, Paimeng followed him with a depressed expression on his face and kept mumbling:
"Ying, why do we still need to take on missions during this big holiday!"
"Anyway, the mission is in the city, so it won't delay our play, right? Besides, Miss Gan Yu is busy coming to the Adventurers Association to release missions. As friends, we should help anyway!"
"Oh...well, you have to accompany me to the party that night!"
"Don't worry, I've already made inquiries. There will be a large party held at Yujing Terrace tonight. We can use our helpers to watch it up close."
"So you are paying attention to this!"
Only then did Paimon understand why Ying agreed without hesitation after hearing that the client of the mission was Gan Yu.
The purpose of co-writing is to take the opportunity to enjoy the party up close.
...
On the other side, a black electric car arrived at the entrance of Liyue Port at extremely fast speeds.
Chapter 627: Very low work efficiency
When it reached the open space at the entrance to Liyue Port, the black electric car slowed down and finally stopped on the roadside.
As soon as the electric car stopped, the door was pushed open forcefully, and three figures walked out of the car one after another.
"It's time to catch up!"
Looking at the familiar entrance of Liyue Port, Shaoyin, who looked haggard, let out a weak sigh, and his voice was full of joy that "I can be considered alive."
There is no way, this time the time is tight and the task is heavy.
In order to catch up with the Lantern Festival, they basically didn't sleep these days.
Hearing Shaoyin's sigh, Han Xiao came to him and reached out to pat the other person's shoulder, saying in a gentle tone:
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner after the Lantern Festival."
"You're welcome, Lord Hanxiao!"
Seeing that Han Xiao planned to treat herself and Abedo to dinner, Shaoyin looked flattered and quickly waved her hand to indicate that the other party did not need to be so polite.
"It's not necessary to eat. You can pay attention to Mr. Shaoyin's career as a film director."
Abedo on the side gave his own suggestions.
Han Xiao's identity was there. If he invited guests, Shaoyin would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable.
So it is better to exchange meals for other help, such as supporting the other party's career as a film director.
This is a good suggestion!
Hearing Abedo's thoughts and seeing Shaoyin's eyes light up a little, Han Xiao couldn't help but nodded:
"That's okay. After the Hai Lantern Festival, I'll ask Xingqiu to send you a script. You can try to write it and show it in the theater in Guili City."
"Thank you Master Hanxiao and Master Abedo for your support!"
Seeing that Han Xiao had adopted Abedo's suggestion, Shaoyin's face suddenly showed joy.
Currently, the martial arts novels written by Xingqiu in "Liyue Daily" are extremely popular among the people in Liyue.
And he even heard Xingqiu say that the idea for this novel came from Han Xiao.
Shaoyin would naturally be excited to have Han Xiao write a script for her own reflection.
"Okay, then it's settled."
Looking up at the sky, Han Xiao didn't say any more nonsense, just said happy holidays to the two of them and hurried into Liyue Port.
"It's getting late, I have to go to Qunyu Pavilion first to hand over the shadow materials to Ning Guang."
"Abeido and Shaoyin, happy Hai Lantern Festival!"
"Happy Lantern Festival!"
After replying a happy holiday to Han Xiao's leaving voice, Abedo turned to look at Shaoyin aside:
"Mr. Shaoyin, I also want to join my sister and the others here. What about you?"
"Master Abedo, don't worry about me. I can just go home. My father, brothers and sisters are waiting for me to go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival!"
"Then let's say goodbye. Happy Lantern Festival."
"Well, happy Lantern Festival!"
...
After bidding farewell to Abedo and Shaoyin, Han Xiao walked quickly along the street towards Yujing Pavilion, and soon arrived at the designated location leading to Qunyu Pavilion.
"Lord Hanxiao!"
Buyun, the guide of Qunyu Pavilion who saw Han Xiao walking towards him from afar, waited for the other party to come to him, and quickly said the words Ningguang told him:
"Master Ningguang and the others are currently in the General Affairs Department and asked me to tell you that if you come, just go directly to the General Affairs Department."
"That's it, I understand."
After hearing what Bu Yun said, Han Xiao didn't stop. After saying Happy Lantern Festival to Bu Yun, he turned around and walked towards the location of the General Affairs Department.
Soon, he saw a busy scene in the General Affairs Department.
"The fireworks team must reach the top of the mountain before tonight. Have you climbed up now?"
"The wood used to build the stage is broken? Hurry and find someone to buy some more!"
Thanks to the popularization of mobile phones, the staff of the entire General Affairs Department finally no longer have to run around to give orders.
But what replaced it was the sight of people shouting loudly on their mobile phones everywhere.
Without disturbing the busy people, Han Xiao went straight through the crowd to the office of the General Affairs Department, where he saw Ning Guang, Ke Qing and Gan Yu sitting together and discussing something.
And...Ying and Paimon?
"Ying, why are you here too?"
Hearing the sound, Ying and Paimeng, who were listening carefully to the tasks assigned by Gan Yu, immediately turned around and saw Han Xiao appearing at the door of the office.
"Ah...it's Han Xiao!"
The first time he saw Han Xiao, Paimon screamed with joy and waved his little hand towards him.
"Happy Hailantern Festival, Hanxiao!"
"Happy Lantern Festival, Paimon and Ying."
After smiling and nodding to each other, Han Xiao turned to look at Ning Guang and the others.
"Ningguang, why did you bring Ying and the others to work?"
"Hmph, what else could it be? The work efficiency of the Eight Gates and the General Affairs Department is too low!"
Hearing Han Xiao's doubts, Ning Guang had not yet spoken, but Ke Qing at the side immediately opened her mouth to explain unhappily.
"We obviously started preparing for the Sea Lantern Festival a long time ago, but at the last minute various problems still arose."
"These people are really too lazy!"
"Don't say that, Keqing."
Hearing that Ke Qing complained about the low work efficiency of the General Affairs Department and the Eight Gates, Ningguang put down the jade cigarette rod in her hand and said good things to these people with a smile:
"The main responsibility this time lies with me. If I hadn't changed a lot of program content, they wouldn't be in such a hurry."
"Stop saying nice things to them, Ning Guang."
Keqing crossed her arms and glanced at Ningguang with dissatisfaction:
"You only changed some of the party content, and now the problem is the party's infrastructure."
She is very dissatisfied now. Liyue has obviously rectified various departments before and refined their powers. Logically speaking, work efficiency should be significantly improved.
The results are good, but work efficiency still hasn't improved much.
As for why such a thing happened, Keqing knew the reason very well.
The fundamental issue is personnel.
Although the department has been rectified before, the public employees are still the same group of old people.
It would be fine to say that these people work seriously.
The key is that there are a large number of public officials who are children of major families. There are too many who are dawdling around, and they are all old-timers, which seriously affects the operating efficiency of the department.
"Sooner or later I will kick all these people out!"
When she thought of this, Keqing couldn't help but express her thoughts with a little resentment.
"Be patient for now, we can't touch these people yet."
After listening to the conversation between Ningguang and Keqing, Han Xiao immediately shrugged and offered words of comfort.
He understood Keqing's thoughts very well, and he was also dissatisfied with these public officials who were hanging around in the Eight Gates and the General Affairs Department.
But now is not the time to deal with them.
Chapter 628: Han Xiao: After Liyue, those who are capable will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be demoted.
"Anyway, let's wait."
"Wait? How long do you want me to wait?"
Hearing that Han Xiao asked her to continue waiting for the opportunity, Ke Qing was so angry that she retorted.
In order to improve office efficiency, Qixing has taken the opportunity to adjust Liyue's administrative structure. Logically speaking, it should be effective from the starting point.
But the result is still useless.
As long as those 'bastards' who entered various administrative departments through nepotism are not kicked out, the efficiency of various administrative agencies in Liyue will not be improved.
"Keqing, calm down first."
Gan Yu stood up quickly and came to Ke Qing's side. He reached out and touched the other's junior a few times to calm his anger.
"What Han Xiao said makes sense, now is not a good time to make corrections."
"Then give me an accurate answer, how long do you have to wait?"
"Emm...it won't change for a while."
