Chapter 216 Xu Ning is the first to be eliminated
Before Qian Wei could finish speaking, Xu Ning, who had just stood up from the corner, burst out laughing.
This inexplicable laugh immediately interrupted Qian Wei's words.
Xu Ning gently wiped the spilled wine from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and smiled, "Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something happy. Please continue."
Damn it, I almost thought this arrogant guy was about to say his classic line, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I'm saying everyone here is trash."
Qian Wei glared at Xu Ning, unable to continue what he had just said.
He snorted coldly, ignored Xu Ning, and went to look at the planning documents on the table.
Mingbo was most interested in Xu Ning and picked up Xu Ning's planning document first.
Qianwei was a step too slow, so he had no choice but to pick up Zhiyi's plan and look through it.
However, Mingbo, who was standing next to him, only glanced at it before he couldn't help but frown and ask, "This... how should we evaluate this?"
Hearing his mutterings, Qian Wei immediately sneered, "Can't understand? Let me take a look..."
Qianwei also glanced at it, and his eyes widened immediately. He flipped through more than ten pages in disbelief.
"What...what is this?!"
Qian Wei, shaking the papers in his hand, asked Xu Ning, who had just walked over.
Xu Ning glanced at him and said, "You don't understand either? I can explain it to you..."
Qian Wei said angrily, "Who needs your explanation! Although your handwriting is extremely ugly, it's barely legible."
"But what I want to know is, since you can raise so many profound and sharp questions, what is the meaning of those twenty-six consecutive pages of 'What can relieve sorrow? Only condensed light' when writing the solution?"
Upon hearing Qian Wei's question, Zhi Yi roughly guessed what Xu Ning had written on the paper. He reached out and took a few pages of Xu Ning's planning documents, and began to read them carefully.
It must be said that Xu Ning's plan analyzes the problems existing in Liyue's current development. Every point is crucial and addresses the key issues. As long as these key problems can be solved, all the work can proceed smoothly.
Xu Ning also clearly provided the answer to these problems.
Just as Xu Ning wrote at the bottom of each page, "What can relieve sorrow? Only condense light."
In short, "Leave it to Ningguang."
Zhiyi smiled wryly and said, "Logically speaking, that's not wrong. If it were that Lady Ningguang, these problems would probably be nothing to her!"
Qian Wei, shaking the paper in his hand, angrily said, "Of course I know that. But isn't his answer extremely opportunistic? If I became the Star of Tian Shu, I could also have Lord Tian Quan handle these problems for me..."
Xu Ning took a sip of wine, raised his hand to stop Qian Wei from speaking, and laughed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you. I'm just afraid that even if you become the Star of Tian Shu, you might not be able to command Ning Guang to work for you."
“And even if I’m not on Tian Shu Star, Ning Guang will still help me. That’s why we’re all standing here, but only I can write this sentence on paper.”
This statement immediately silenced the people around him.
I don't know when it started, but the phrase "Liyue's seven stars, Tianquan is supreme" has gradually become deeply rooted in people's hearts in Liyue.
Ningguang's methods of controlling various businesses, her skills in manipulating people's hearts, and her application of reason, law, and systems all leave every opponent standing opposite her feeling defeated and powerless.
Qian Wei and the others asked themselves, "Now that I've become the Star of Tian Shu, can I order Ning Guang around like a servant?"
Absolutely impossible!
But this kid, according to reliable sources, actually stays overnight at Qunyu Pavilion every day!
Seeing that the others were silent, Xu Ning explained, "As the saying goes, those who ride horses are not necessarily swift of foot, yet they can travel a thousand miles; those who use boats are not necessarily good swimmers, yet they can cross rivers. If I have divine weapons and weapons but choose to fight hand-to-hand, wouldn't that be foolish?"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Qian Wei silently put down the manuscript in his hand, casually flipped through the planning documents of the other two people, and then stopped talking, standing quietly to the side with his hands in his sleeves, waiting for Ye Lan to announce the final results.
Zhiyi and Mingbo were also somewhat dismissive of it, quickly flipping through it once before putting it down.
Ye Lan saw everyone's expressions, straightened up and smiled, "It seems everyone has seen it and has their own judgment. Now, I will announce the first result."
"Xu Ning, you have been eliminated because you violated the requirements for writing the planning document."
Upon hearing that Ye Lan had eliminated him first, Xu Ning shook his head and smiled, probably because this conclusion was also at Uncle Tian's behest.
Xu Ning shrugged nonchalantly, "Then there's nothing more for me to do. I'm off!"
Ye Lan ignored him and asked the other three a few more questions about the proposal. Then she said she needed to report to Uncle Tian for consideration and sent them all away.
Although Xu Ning said he was leaving, he actually stood still and didn't move. Only after everyone had left did he step forward and ask Ye Lan.
"Uncle Tian, is it... that you really need to see a result?"
Ye Lan nodded and said helplessly, "I tried to persuade him, but his temper is getting worse and worse, and I can't stop him anymore."
According to the records of her previous life, Ye Lan used a false message to announce that Zhi Yi had become the star of Tian Shu.
This was used to put him at ease, and then it was revealed that Zhiyi actually had a complex relationship with the Fools.
Zhiyi now seems to be gentle and refined in his dealings with people and in borrowing things, with no flaws whatsoever. If we want him to give himself away, we'll probably have to use this trick.
Xu Ning watched as Ye Lan tidied up the things on the table, preparing to go to Uncle Tian to discuss the next steps, and suddenly felt a little disheartened.
Xu Ning went straight back to Qunyu Pavilion.
Ningguang is not here; she must have gone to discuss business or inspect people's livelihoods.
Xu Ning drank some more wine and fell into a daze on the Ningguang bed, where he fell asleep.
When I woke up, I felt someone enter the room.
Xu Ning slightly raised his eyes, watched Ning Guang walk in gracefully, stretched out his arms and made a bitter face, saying, "I was eliminated from the assessment today, please comfort me!"
Ningguang sat down with a smile and reached out to pinch a soft spot on Xu Ning's body.
"That night you told me you wrote twenty-six pages and even asked me for a reward? How did you manage to write twenty-six pages of 'Only Ningguang'? You're just trying to fool me like this!"
Xu Ning cried out, "I didn't lie! Every sentence I wrote was from my heart, after careful consideration and calculation. Of course, in the end I realized that no method was as good as just handing it over to you, so that's why it turned out the way it did."
"Blame it on your own excellence! As for the reward you asked for, if you feel wronged, I can give it all back to you."
