After sitting down, Kamisato Ayaka observed the group with curiosity.
The Second Young Lady—no, wait, the Second Young Master of Feiyun Commerce—was a well-known figure in Liyue Harbor.
Then there was the heir of an exorcist family, another remarkable individual.
And finally, the eccentric Miss Hu Tao, who specialized in funeral services—from what Ayaka knew, that could only be Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
So she must be the successor of Wangsheng, right?
Ayaka quickly pieced together their backgrounds—everyone here had an impressive status.
They were all second-generation elites from prominent families.
"Have you gotten used to life in Liyue?"
After everyone became acquainted, Jiang Chen asked.
Ayaka nodded.
"Very much so. Lady Ningguang has been very kind to me."
"Plus, there are quite a few Inazumans in Liyue Harbor—I've even met some I know."
As she spoke, Ayaka's lips curled into a faint smile.
She wasn't entirely alone in a foreign land.
Running into familiar faces was a pleasant surprise.
She had also informed them that Inazuma's isolation had ended—they could return home now.
After all, some of them had been sent away by her in the first place.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have known them.
"That's good to hear."
"Then you've probably settled most of your affairs here?"
"Have you bought everything you needed?"
"If not, we have a young master right here—you two could work something out."
"His family's business has a wide selection, and with him around, he can probably get you a good deal. Save you a lot of money."
Jiang Chen gestured toward Xingqiu.
The young master of Feiyun Commerce was right here—if you need to buy anything, hurry up and negotiate a discount with him.
Inazuma was in a state of rebuilding, and there was a lot to procure.
Xingqiu, who had been listening, blinked in surprise.
"Do you need to purchase something?"
"If I can help, I definitely will!"
A business opportunity falling right into his lap?
Of course he'd take it.
He knew Inazuma was in dire need of supplies—many merchants were already shipping goods there.
His family was no exception. His elder brother had been busy with this very matter lately.
Liyue had recently signed several trade agreements with Inazuma, and he was aware of that.
Was this young lady in charge of those deals?
Within moments, Xingqiu had roughly guessed Ayaka's identity.
She was from Inazuma, knew Jiang Chen, and bore that surname…
He was almost certain.
"Feiyun Commerce?"
"There are some things we'd like to procure from your company!"
Ayaka's eyes lit up.
This was perfect. She had a long list of items to purchase—especially after receiving a new inventory list from the Raiden Shogun.
She had copied it down before coming out to eat, only to run into Jiang Chen and his group.
"What do you need?"
"I can ask my brother to give you a discount."
Though he wasn't involved in the family business, he was happy to bring in clients.
This way, his brother couldn't accuse him of being irresponsible anymore.
In his father and brother's eyes, he was still an immature child.
"Here's the list. Does your company carry these items?"
Ayaka retrieved a document from her Vision and handed it over.
Xingqiu promptly stood and accepted it with both hands.
After scanning the contents, he opened his terminal.
"I'll contact my brother right away."
Glancing at the list again, he added:
"Many of these items are already in our inventory."
"Fabrics, for example, are one of our main specialties."
He began explaining in detail.
Most of the listed goods were winter supplies, right?
That made sense—Inazuma's winters were notoriously harsh.
Without proper clothing, the people would suffer.
"A discount would be greatly appreciated."
Ayaka was pleased to hear this.
It would be ideal to settle the matter quickly.
She still wanted to visit Guili Plains later.
"My brother will be here shortly."
"I've already notified him."
Xingqiu returned the list to Ayaka.
Though it didn't specify quantities, the required volume was undoubtedly massive.
This was a deal they had to secure.
When he informed his brother, the latter had taken it very seriously and immediately dropped everything to come over.
Ayaka nodded in satisfaction.
Perfect.
Noticing this, Jiang Chen waved to Xiangling.
Seeing the gesture, she hurried over.
"What's up, Jiang Chen?"
Xiangling looked puzzled—was the food not to his liking?
"Prepare a few more dishes."
"We'll have another guest joining soon."
"Just make your specialties."
Hearing this, Xiangling nodded.
"Got it!"
"I've already talked to my dad—I'll go with you all to Guili Plains later."
"Hehe, give me a moment. I'll get your food ready."
With that, she dashed back to the kitchen to prepare the additional dishes.
Ayaka's curiosity was piqued.
"Jiang Chen, are you heading back soon?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
"That's right."
