Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

"Regarding the proposal you described, the implementation plan is now ready, and we request Miss Hexia and Miss Blanchi to review it."

In the quiet reception room, Tilan and Blanchi sat side by side, in front of them were staff sent by the Central Council, dressed immaculately in suits, a man and a woman, accompanied by several attendants.

Some time ago, with the cooperation of Blanchi and Tilan, a new proposal was submitted and approved, and the next step was to discuss specific implementation measures. They had come to negotiate the details with the two songstresses.

After briefly reviewing the submitted plan, the two songstresses handed it over to the accompanying professionals behind them, allowing them to discuss the details with the two government officials.

By around 4 PM, most of the content had been finalized, with only a few contentious issues remaining.

"The key issue is that many people in the Northwest Star Domain hope to return some of the previously confiscated patent rights to support the redevelopment of local industries," a consultant reported to the two songstresses.

"However, this was opposed by the two officials, as these patents have already been transferred to other giant businesses, and forcibly reclaiming them would violate the law and provoke conflict between the government and the giant businesses."

"Is it possible for those businesses holding the patents to establish production lines in the Northwestern Star Domain?" Blanchi asked with curiosity.

"It's difficult, because their original production lines are already sufficient, and more importantly, the entire Federation market is nearing saturation with little new growth. Opening new lines would only lead to harmful internal competition, and no one would profit from it."

"Oh... alright, I understand." Blanchi lowered her head.

Despite the personal desire to improve matters, the objective environment remains as it is.

Since the discussion reached an impasse, the two songstresses had to temporarily retreat a step, hoping the government would further support the new industries in the West and reduce taxes.

"That's not difficult, or rather inconsequential, as the long-term economic downturn in the Northwest Star Domain has already led to low taxes; the government granting further reductions isn't too hard."

After the negotiation concluded, both parties signed the finalized implementation plan and conducted notarization and data record retention.

In the evening, the two parties shared dinner, after which the two officials took their leave.

Days later, the implementation plan was approved and announced, garnering considerable attention from the Northwest Star Domain's residents, with many beginning to observe potential business opportunities within.

...

"It seems effective; many groups are apparently interested in establishing new production bases there to take advantage of the tax reduction policies," Blanchi happily discussed with Tilan.

"It's good that it's effective." The girl nodded with a smile, though her heart wasn't as optimistic as Blanchi's. After all, if the Federation's structure were that easy to change, the issues wouldn't have dragged on to this point.

But for now, it seemed promising, so she decided not to dampen Blanchi's enthusiasm. When inevitable changes occur, she would think of solutions with her then.

...

After these political matters concluded, the songstresses' lives gradually returned to normal, regularly attending classes together, occasionally completing team tasks, and engaging with their Star Cluster members in exchanges and outings.

"This is my, uh... probably can be considered my Attendant Officer, or assistant, you can call her Xiaojiu." At an afternoon tea gathering, Audrey introduced the woman behind her.

"Though it's a subordinate relationship, Xiaojiu is actually a relative with a blood relation to me, only her rank is slightly lower," Audrey introduced again, prompting the songstresses to gaze curiously at the woman.

Her attire and appearance resembled a capable Head Maid from films, with black hair pinned up, leaving just a few strands to hang on either side of her ears, glasses on, standing straight behind Audrey, hands folded in front.

Slashing Blade Sequence 6, proficient in caring for people, primarily responsible for Audrey's safety, sharing a close relationship.

Upon introduction by Audrey, she bowed gracefully and meticulously, followed by a brief self-introduction.

"Hello, songstresses, I am Luan Tiji, currently assisting and accompanying Lady Feng Jianchang as a maid," she introduced herself again, then retreated behind Audrey, maintaining a low profile and silence.

In several subsequent meetings, she behaved the same way, speaking very little in front of outsiders. However, according to Audrey, since Luan Tiji's arrival, discipline within the Star Cluster had improved significantly, unlike the previous disorderly and casual state.

"Lady Feng Jianchang is a songstress, so naturally she should maintain leniency to foster unity and stability among everyone. Let me handle the strict matters."

Later on, due to Tilan's close interactions with Audrey, she gradually became familiar with this 'Xiaojiu.'

"Did you know Audrey from a young age?" Tilan was curious about the situation within the large eastern family.

"No, I only met Lady Feng Jianchang when she was fourteen, just six months after her talent as a songstress was discovered."

"The first meeting was at a family gathering. Although we are related, among similar-aged relatives like myself and Lady Feng Jianchang, there are probably over two hundred, and not all are very familiar,"

"How did you become familiar after that?" Tilan continued to ask.

"This is straightforward. From the moment Lady Feng Jianchang became a songstress, she undoubtedly became the core of our generation. Under the family's arrangements, we all had to center our planning around her, assigning roles and tasks."
