Chapter 52 Chapter 52
"Family, what's going on? Are they promoting entrepreneurship again? Why are there storefronts being renovated everywhere?"
In City A, at the end of May, the weather had become a little hot, and some of the spring clothes were no longer wearable, so I had to change into short-sleeved shirts.
In this sudden enthusiasm, many people found that shops near their communities had started banging on the doors of shops.
In the current economic downturn, this shop that is suddenly about to open can indeed bring some psychological comfort to people.
"What is this for? Why are they all rented at the same time? Are they rented by the same tenant?"
Since the post was posted on a local life forum in City A, many people responded, and a user with a rabbit avatar also disclosed many details.
"My house has also been rented out and has been under renovation recently. They say it will be used for business."
The reason why this user noticed this shop was obviously because the person who came to negotiate the rent of a house with her family behaved mysteriously and refused to disclose more information.
She paid special attention to this for the safety of her own property.
"In short, the account they used to pay was a certain company." This was also the reason why the owner of the house was willing to rent to the other party.
Compared to individuals, companies seem slightly more reliable.
For this reason, the landlord's family collected less deposit from the other party - just hoping that the other party could pay the rent on time.
While the mysterious tenant and store were being discussed online, the main door of the Monster Bureau in City A was unexpectedly renovated. Not only that, the door was also decorated with beautiful bouquets of flowers.
A long banner was hung on the bouquet.
"Welcome Comrade Ning Su back to work."
When Ning Su finished his vacation, he went to Jing City to find a job. Finally, after absorbing the power in his body through slow and steady efforts, he was able to smoothly control the changes between his human form and dragon form.
After a long vacation, it was the end of May and he had to end his vacation and return to City A.
But who would have thought that on the first day back to work, I would receive such a grand welcome.
Ning Su was surrounded and escorted into the office holding a bouquet of flowers. He looked up and was silent for a moment.
After being away for a few months, my colleagues are still stupid when I return.
"…What happened?"
But apart from this indecent banner, looking around, the A City Monster Bureau has indeed changed a lot compared to when he left.
When I first came to work, the office building looked shabby and in disrepair, and the courtyard inside the Monster Bureau was covered with moss. Except for the places that employees often passed by, other places looked quite deserted.
But now it's different.
When Ning Su returned to the office after several months, he was surprised to find that the Monster Bureau was completely new.
Not to mention the renovated office building, the changes in this unit can be seen from the neatly trimmed flower beds and lush green lawns.
"Now you have money." Xiao Du introduced Ning Su who had not worked for a long time.
Of course, being rich doesn’t mean that the Monster Bureau received funding from higher authorities, or that it got other money - after all, Director Gu’s movie hasn’t been released yet, and it’s still unknown whether they can get back the money they invested.
But the Monster Bureau can indeed find some ways to decorate it——
They took a ride on the decoration of Caiyao Station.
As we all know, all City A government projects are good projects. Those human decoration companies heard the news from somewhere and came to bid.
Finally, after bidding, the human company that was finally selected was very happy. Considering that the Monster Bureau paid money quickly, they took the initiative to help the Monster Bureau contract part of the renovation work.
"…Are you sure this is okay?"
Although their Monster Bureau is not subject to strict supervision like other units, the main source of funding for the Vegetable Monster Station is still fiscal appropriations.
The human audit department naturally has the obligation to supervise the funds of this department.
"Oh, it's not as serious as you think." Xiao Du was amused by Ning Su's sincere words and asked him to look at the office building carefully.
“Only the exterior of the house was painted, and nothing else was touched.”
To be honest, it's just a showpiece.
But after the exterior of the building was painted, the office building of the Yao Bureau looked brand new, and the employees no longer liked other places.
“So we took care of the flower beds and iron gates ourselves.”
At first, the human employees in the bureau were dissatisfied and took the initiative to order a simple tool to weed. Later, the monster employees disliked the slow movements of the human employees and simply did it themselves.
When tidying up the office building, someone suggested that Ning Su would be back soon and it would be a good opportunity to welcome his colleagues. Then the editor took the initiative to send out a lot of plants and tidy up the flower garden.
"You know, they were originally very slow, but when they heard they were coming to greet you, they all became very active."
Not only that, later on, the programmers didn't even let the human employees contribute, and took on all the work themselves.
"It's all because of someone's charm." Xiao Du teased intentionally.
Of course, joking aside, rationally speaking, we can’t blame the editors for being flattering.
Whether it was the video in the Grand Canyon or the exchange meeting with Ye State not long ago, Ning Su's presence was so strong that it could not be ignored.
For the monsters in other monster bureaus, when they got the news, they had only one thought in their mind: envy - how wonderful it would be for a monster in the Monster Bureau of City A to be a colleague of Long Jun.
He was taken away directly.
But for the monsters in the Monster Bureau of City A, it was a bolt from the blue.
As early as when Ning Su's bloodline had just awakened, they were able to be beaten up by the other party. Now that they saw that the other party was even more powerful, if they had a conflict with Ning Su, who knows what would happen.
As a result, they all became diligent and were very active even in small matters like welcoming Ning Su.
Ning Su: “…”
Ning Su expressed great disappointment at having lost the opportunity to "exchange feelings" with his colleagues on the training ground.
Sensing this disappointment, the editors worked harder.
He was afraid that he would become Ning Su's sparring partner.
Thanks to the diligence of the editors, the work efficiency of the Monster Bureau has been greatly improved, and the progress of the Vegetable Monster Station has also been rapid.
After Ning Su went to Beijing to work, the business license for City A was quickly issued. Within a short period of time, seven or eight Caiyao Stations started construction in City A.
According to the director, it’s “do it first”.
He made a great ambition to open 100 Caiyao Inns a year, but Director Gu's films also have a release cycle. If he waited until the film was released and the investment was recovered before starting construction, it would obviously be too late.
It’s better to just do it first regardless of how much money you have.
This is what the director said, however, workers have their own channels in private.
For example, Xiao Du, who is well-informed, revealed the director's past in private: "He showed off in front of another director not long ago."
When Ning Su transformed into a dragon, one can imagine how irritating it was to other monsters.
Since the A City Monster Bureau possesses such a great treasure, there is no way the director would not show off.
However, this time, several other demon bureau chiefs joined forces and not only ignored him, but also specifically asked about the progress of the Vegetable Demon Station.
In order to save face, the director worked hard to supervise the work as soon as he returned. What's even more exaggerated is that when the other party learned that there was a lack of funds, he continued to advance some of the money out of his own pocket.
“…Payment?”
What an exaggerated pay to work.
Xiao Du sighed: "We also tried to persuade him."
In the end, the director did not listen, and the two deputy directors also paid the money, so that several Caiyao Stations were able to start construction soon after obtaining business licenses.
With the hard work of the organized monsters, the order in City A has been completely renewed in recent days. The trouble-making monsters that used to occasionally show up to show their presence have all disappeared.
What's more, the slightly more powerful monsters in City A will take the initiative to maintain order.
The excuse used was also quite simple.
"You don't want to go to the Demon Bureau to see Lord Ning, do you?" For the little demons, this sentence was simply magical. After hearing it, they immediately stopped.
The work inside the bureau was not busy and there was nothing new outside the bureau, so Ning Su had to shift his attention to the Caiyao Station.
Therefore, the girl with the rabbit avatar on the forum saw a handsome guy in her rented house the next day.
"It's really a top-notch appearance."
After unexpectedly seeing Ning Su in the store, the girl screamed in her friend group.
"Family, he looks a bit like a star. He must be a star if he looks like this!"
Since Ning Su was wearing a mask, the girls couldn't see his face. But for good-looking people, face is not the most important thing.
"Are you crazy, daydreaming and lying to us?"
"Don't make up stories here. Go to Lvjiang and write novels. At least you can earn some money for milk tea."
The two friends in the group scoffed at the landlord girl's excitement, but when their friend did not show up, they became anxious again.
"No, even if you're lying to us, please be careful."
"Please, please send us the picture so we can identify it!"
At the instigation of her little sister, the landlady quietly raised her mobile phone and tried to take a picture when Ning Su was not paying attention. However, before she pressed the camera button, the screen flashed.
When she looked down, she saw that there was only a blurry figure in the photo which was clearly in focus.
Is this a problem with the phone?
The landlady didn't believe it, and pretended to take a selfie, but actually pointed the camera at Ning Su——
This time, she failed again.
Are you possessed?
Since she couldn't determine whether it was a problem with the phone or the shooting technique, the landlady simply moved the phone away and took a picture of the tree on the street.
There's no problem this time.
In other words, it’s the handsome guy’s problem?
Too handsome to be photogenic? That's ridiculous.
Fortunately, after two failed attempts, the landlady didn’t dare to stay any longer. She put away her phone and left in shame. She even had to explain what happened to her friends in the group.
"There's nothing wrong with my phone, but there seems to be something wrong with the lighting. I can't take pictures of people."
The other two friends also seemed very realistic about their friend who clearly boasted about having a handsome guy but couldn't produce any evidence.
"But shut up."
Without pictures, there is no evidence. Without pictures, there is nothing to talk about.
The curious landlady was just an episode. In the newly opened Caiyao Station, the head of a courier company in City A was talking to Ning Su.
"Mr. Ning?"
After using a little trick to avoid being secretly photographed, Ning Su came to his senses and nodded to the person in charge of the express company.
"Sorry, I was distracted. Please say it again."
The courier company couldn't help but sigh that Chief Ning was so polite and courteous, totally different from the official representative he had imagined.
He repeated his suggestion.
Due to the establishment of several Caiyao Post Offices, the delivery addresses of many packages have been directly changed to Caiyao Post Offices.
At first, there was only one collection point for these express deliveries, which was the post outside the Special Management Bureau. Although it was not a registered collection point, the couriers still delivered the packages in a timely manner.
But now it’s different. Several Caiyao Stations have appeared in succession in City A, and the freight volume of each station is very large. It is difficult to allocate the couriers’ work tasks according to the area.
As far as he knows, several express delivery companies have the same confusion.
"Besides, there are always some strange things in the packages sent to the post station..."
As far as they know, whether it is a parcel sent to the post station or something sent out from the post station, there will always be some dangerous items popping up from time to time.
Last time, they even found an animal carcass in a package during security check, which scared their courier company.
Therefore, the extra workload at the Vegetable Demon Station gave them a headache.
"What do you want to do?" Ning Su heard the hidden meaning in the words of the person in charge and asked.
The person in charge smiled and said: "Our company can set up a dedicated line for the post station and find a dedicated person to be in charge. This will not only save time, but also facilitate the allocation of tasks."
"only……"
Person in charge: "It will cost a certain fee."
"Is he crazy? Didn't the little demons send the express without paying the courier fee?" Xiao Du didn't expect that Ning Su went out and brought such bad news.
If this amount of money is added, the already unhealthy financial situation of the Yao Bureau will be in jeopardy.
Ning Su thought about it for a moment and said uncertainly: "Perhaps, it's because they don't want to see a strange post station appear?"
As far as he knew, if humans wanted to join the post station, they also had to pay a franchise fee.
However, Caiyao Station bypassed this step because of the special background of the Monster Bureau, and related companies will naturally find ways to make up for it.
“That’s possible.”
The creation of Caiyao Station by Yaoju is an act to benefit the people, but perhaps in the eyes of other express delivery companies, it is an act of commercial competition.
In addition, the courier company’s attack also made the Yao Bureau aware of another problem.
With the increase in the number of Caiyao Stations, whether it is renting, decorating or subsequent management, it will have contact with humans.
Especially human couriers.
However, there are many people in the express delivery industry and they have many gossips. The little demons are used to staying at the Caiyao Station and may not pay attention all the time. Over time, the risk of exposure increases significantly.
"What should we do then?"
After building the Caiyao Station, will they open a logistics company of their own?
"Stop." Ning Su stopped Xiao Du's dangerous idea first.
If every problem needs to be solved by starting a company, how much money do they need to invest?
Besides, it is impossible for the Yao Bureau to do everything by itself.
But no matter what happens afterwards, the problem at hand is real - how to reduce the probability of exposure when Caiyao Station comes into contact with express delivery companies.
Ning Su threw the decision-making issue to Yao Ju the next day.
The directors did not hold back and pulled Ning Su to a meeting, where they insisted on brainstorming to come up with a solution.
The final result is naturally that it is better to have the logistics link in your own hands.
However, due to the poor financial situation of the Yao Bureau, even opening a logistics company would be a later matter.
In other words, the issue at hand is how the Bureau can resolve the complaints of logistics companies without paying the express companies extra money.
"This is a simple matter. Didn't they say that the workload has increased and they are short of people?"
"Then we just provide them with employees."
For the demon bureau, everything is lacking, except that there are many unemployed demons.
"They don't have to pay Xiao Yao a salary, so we do it. Put Xiao Yao in there and it's just right for him to learn the work process."
Once we have learned all the procedures of the express company, we can then put the logistics company of the Monster Bureau on the agenda.
Ning Su: “…”
What did he say?
Their director is truly a genius.
Of course, the negotiations with the express company could not be conducted by Director Yao. After coming up with this idea, the director immediately went to find the leaders of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of City A.
Not long after, several express delivery companies received invitations to cooperate from the human resources and social security departments.
In order to promote employment and maintain social stability, the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau introduced more than a dozen interns to several companies. These interns do not need to pay social security or be paid by express delivery companies, they only need to be arranged with work.
After entering the express delivery company, these interns all stated that they wanted to work on the Caiyao Station line.
"...After all this time, we're waiting here." The head of the express company finally figured out the Special Management Bureau's train of thought and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But considering that the other party provided free labor, I had no choice but to accept it.
Who can blame him for having an official background?
As a result, with the opening of Caiyao Express Stations in City A, couriers from several express delivery companies were surprised to find that they suddenly had a group of young colleagues coming for internship.
The common characteristics of these colleagues are that they are taciturn, strong, and hardworking, and they never slack off in their daily work.
In comparison, the original couriers were not as efficient as this group of people.
The interns were so diligent that even the regular employees felt a sense of crisis and complained, "Why are you so hardworking?"
If you have this ability, why don't you go into other industries and become a courier?
Isn't this just a waste of time?
The interns understood the subtext of the human employees' words, but they didn't take it seriously and didn't take it to heart at all.
On the contrary, when they think of their mission, their eyes become bright and there is a fire burning in their hearts.
They are the little demons chosen by Lord Dragon!
There were so many monsters that signed up, but Lord Ning only chose a few of them. Isn't this a recognition and appreciation for them?
Before coming to work, Lord Ning gave them earnest instructions, hoping that they could learn the skills and return safely.
In order not to disappoint Lord Ning's expectations, they all kept this mission in mind.
Learn skills, talk less, and don't reveal your identity.
Therefore, no matter how much the human employees tried to persuade them, isolate them, or use incomprehensible words to try to discourage their enthusiasm, the little demons ignored them.
As a result of their persistence, in the next quarter, when the express delivery company selected advanced workers, their names were among the top.
Express company executives: “…”
Should they be embarrassed after seeing this result?
The hard work of the little demons did not only affect the express delivery company. From a certain day, the vegetable demon station was suddenly mixed with human express delivery.
When Xiao Yao, who worked at Caiyao Station, saw someone coming to pick up a package, he was so scared that he almost jumped up.
Could it be that their Vegetable Demon Station has been exposed?
Fortunately, Xiao Yao reported the accident to the Demon Bureau in time, and the Demon Bureau managed to figure out the cause.
It turned out that this young girl was the landlord of Caiyao Station. One rainy day, she found that the express delivery for her community was delayed, while the express delivery of Caiyao Station was never delayed. So she quietly changed Caiyao Station into the delivery address.
At the same time, the other party generously shared this little secret with his relatives, friends and netizens online.
"Stop it!"
Although there is a monster game, this post still has a lot of readers.
Soon after, more and more human couriers mixed into the Vegetable Demon Station, causing the little demons to be very cautious when picking up the couriers and working, for fear of revealing any clues.
Then, during a rainstorm, the figure of the courier Xiao Yao who was diligently protecting the couriers in the rain was accidentally photographed and reported by the media, and the presence of Cai Yao Station became even stronger.
Moreover, seeing how dedicated the workers were to their duties, the courier company seemed unwilling to let them go. The person in charge took the initiative to talk to the workers and expressed his willingness to make them regular employees and give them a raise.
"…So, you understand what's going on, right?"
Ning Su wiped his face and said, "Can't we just make money?"
The Demon Bureau is almost out of money. If it weren't for poverty, how could these incidents have occurred?
From the beginning, they just wanted to save some money.
As the only investment project of the Yao Bureau, Director Gu’s film "Mountain Soul" was finally submitted for review after a long period of rough editing, fine editing, music, special effects and dubbing.
Ning Su was invited to watch the preview.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face on the screen, Ning Su felt dazed.
Is this him?
Have they filmed this plot?
This is my first time being the leading actor. It feels so weird.
Compared to Ning Su's doubts, other people responded positively: "This drama should be very good after it is released."
With director Gu’s level and good story content, it will definitely be a hit.
Every time this happened, the director and screenwriter who participated in the editing, watched the movie countless times, and even wanted to vomit when they saw the words "Mountain Soul", would smile awkwardly but politely.
I wish you good luck, I hope so.
They have long lost the ability to distinguish between good and bad.
In short, no matter what, the film has reached this stage and is about to meet the audience. Whether it is good or bad, it must continue with the next process.
However, just as the entire creative team was waiting for review and scheduling, Director Gu unexpectedly received an invitation to a prestigious international film festival.
"No, isn't this film festival not open to Chinese people?"
Previously, his award-winning film had also been considered for this film festival, but because no Chinese film has won an award in recent years, and considering the cost of participation, he simply gave up.
But who knew that the other party suddenly sent an invitation.
Director Gu was puzzled, but fortunately, not long after, news came from the industry - this year, the film festival had a new chairman.
The chairman is from Ye country.
After he took office, the first thing he did was to go against all odds and extend an invitation to Director Gu's team.
At a certain place, at a film festival preparatory meeting, the chairman breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Director Gu's team had been invited. At the same time, he clenched his fists with a burning look in his eyes.
At the film festival where he was the chairman, he would not allow a film about dragons to be left out.
