Koine was currently busy examining various scrolls in her office, located in the second floor of the Huobi Bank. There was much work to do, and many ideas to generate for the bank's net business ventures. Setting down a scroll, Koine sighed. She got up from her chair to have a stretch, then walked over to the nearby window. The sun shined brightly, illuminating the room and the land around the building. Since the Loong were formed, they gathered together and turned a small town called Yingbi into a sprawling empire called the Qian Empire. There were a few bumps along the way, particularly with the discoveries of humans and Arachne which led to a few scuffles, but they were eventually integrated into the Qian Empire. Relations between the three races were mixed. The Loong got along surprisingly well with the Arachne, but generally saw the humans as an inferior species. The humans did not take kindly to their status in the Qian Empire, but there was currently little they could do. The Arachne took to humans better, though perhaps it was because they were an all-female species and instinctively caught males for reproductive purposes. Human males were a particular favorite, though any humanoid species that appeared similar would also suffice for them. 

In the distance, there were some Loong and human ranchers leading along some pigs and milking cows. In another place, an old Loong was busy haggling with a young Arachne over the price of a bag of apples. And in yet another, a group of humans were having a shouting match against a Loong restaurant owner for refusing them service due to them being humans. All in all, the city was relatively peaceful, which Koine appreciated. Returning to her desk, Koine reached over and picked up a coin. It was one of the first few gold coins she had made, still molded with its original design. Perhaps someone would care to pay a fortune for it, but she kept it as a memento to remind herself of her beginning. She then flipped the coin, wondering which side it would land on. Just as she caught it in her palm, a knock sounded at the door.

"[color=gold]Enter,[/color]" Koine said, and a Loong man walked inside, carrying a couple scrolls. Koine recognized him as one of her secretaries. "Madam, here are the invoices you requested," he reported, handing over the scrolls. "[color=gold]Thank you, Chen. Dismissed,[/color]" Koine responded. As Chen turned around to leave, Koine suddenly added, "[color=gold]No wait. I need someone to bounce ideas off of right now, and you'll have to do.[/color]" Chen was dumbstruck for a moment before replying, "Um, y-yes, madam."

"[color=gold]How are the clients?[/color]" Koine asked.

"Well, between certain individuals in the Ossurman Empire, as well as-"

"[color=gold]How much of the loans have been paid back as of today?[/color]"

"I... I believe only-"

"[color=gold]Are our currency supplies well stocked?[/color]" 

"Um, there's-"

"[color=gold]News on the different departments? How about their project evaluations? Was that Rusty Industries advance declined, or was it Samson's?[/color]"

"I-I don't think-" 

"[color=gold]Everything's come together now![/color]" Koine exclaimed. With a wave of her hand, she added, "[color=gold]Thank you, Chen, you've been a great help. Dismissed.[/color]"

Chen stared blankly at Koine for a second, dumbfounded, before snapping out of it. He bowed his head and soon left, shutting the door behind him. Koine placed the scrolls on the proper shelf, then took a quill and some parchment. Notes and drafts had to be taken for the her next business propositions.
