Chapter 68 Chapter 68
In mid-September, after several months of busyness, the W City Monster Bureau entered a rare period of leisure.
The Monster Bureau's staff monster was so tired that he lost a lot of weight. He leaned in the office like a salted fish, looking up at the ceiling.
"Why do I feel like we haven't had a break since our Lord Ning came?"
That is true.
Ning Su has been working at the W City Monster Bureau for less than four months, but it feels like he has spent two years as a regular monster at the bureau. Every day when he opens his eyes, the first thought in his mind is "what should I do today?"
If their sense of urgency at the beginning came from the institutional design of the bureau, where they would lose their jobs if they did not work hard, then now it is completely a self-motivation that drives them forward.
"Um, is there a teacher named Luo here?"
When the weaving monster was leaning on the sofa to take a rest, suddenly, a strange monster poked his head in from the door and asked timidly.
"Here I come!" After just resting for a while, he was called up to work. The face of this radish monster named Luo felt a little numb.
In the eyes of the strange monster who was doing the work, it became the arrogance inherent in the monsters in the monster bureau.
The strange demon who was doing the work couldn't help but shiver and felt a little flustered.
It won't be difficult, right?
It came from a small county town around W City and lived with its grandfather.
Recently, grandpa has been feeling unwell. Not only can he not eat, but he can't even absorb the moonlight. He is so anxious that he cries every day.
At this time, its companion told it that it could seek help from the Monster Bureau for such problems.
"The new leader of the Monster Bureau seems to be good, let's go ask him."
What if?
Grandpa's illness could not be delayed, so this demon from a small county town took a ride on a human bus, traveled to the city with great difficulty, and found a way to inquire at the Demon Bureau.
But the monsters in the Monster Bureau are so ferocious!
This reminded it of the experience of its grandfather coming to the Monster Bureau many years ago. At that time, it had just been born and needed to apply for a birth certificate. Its grandfather also went all the way to the Monster Bureau to ask questions like it did.
However, that day seemed to be particularly unlucky. The staff demon of the Demon Bureau was in a bad mood and took his dissatisfaction out on Grandpa. It was obviously a simple matter, but he used the excuse of "incomplete procedures" and made Grandpa run several times.
The distance between W City and the county town is not close. Although the time of the little demons is not valuable, running back and forth on the road is definitely not an easy job.
Finally, perhaps someone saw that grandpa was too honest and pointed him in the right direction.
"Give some gifts, don't torture yourself."
Grandpa learned his lesson and found a way to spend money to buy some good things, and only then did he get the job done.
However, after this incident, my grandfather would get angry whenever he heard the words “demon bureau”, and sometimes he would even curse.
Later, it found out that its grandfather had spent most of his fortune to bribe the monster in the Monster Bureau to do his job.
With such an impression, Xiao Yao himself kept his distance from the Yao Bureau. This time, he came for help because he had no other choice.
In order to get things done smoothly, it borrowed a large sum of money from the monsters around it. Based on its current income, it might have to pay back the debt for the rest of its life.
But, who made grandpa sick?
It only has this one relative.
After preparing himself mentally, the little demon told the editor demon named Luo his demands in a trembling voice.
“Wait, are you from the next county?”
Just as the little demon finished speaking, he heard the weaving demon frowning and interrupting him.
Is this filial piety? But its request is not yet complete!
Just when the little demon was hesitating whether to take out the "gift" he had prepared right away, he saw the weaving demon suddenly take out his mobile phone.
"Do you have a mobile phone? Download this app. You don't have to go anywhere to do simple things. You can do them directly on it."
ah?
The little devil was stunned for a second.
Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't say anything but looked confused, the editor was used to this kind of scene and calmly comforted him: "No mobile phone? That's okay, the APP is still very simple anyway."
"What do you want to do? Tell me, and I'll do it for you."
As if that wasn't enough, the editor expertly promoted the new policy of his bureau: "By the way, we will set up offices in various counties in the future, so you won't have to travel that much."
"……oh oh."
"Come and register, and then please rate the office."
The clerk registered his name and address in a confused manner.
After finishing all this, it almost forgot why it came to the Monster Bureau.
"What's your problem? What kind of help do you need from the Monster Bureau?"
Perhaps it was because although this editor looked bad, there was no arrogance in his tone, and what he said was all business-related, the fear in Xiao Yao's heart was finally reduced a little.
Maybe, grandpa's business can be done without giving gifts.
"My grandpa is not feeling well." The little demon said in a low voice.
This time, it was not interrupted by the impatient editing monster, who listened to its request patiently.
"I don't know if it's sick or what. It's been in a coma for several days." The little demon said dejectedly.
“Don’t worry.” Hearing that it was an urgent matter, the editor’s face changed. He comforted the little demon and said, “There is a demon in our bureau who knows how to heal diseases. I will go and call it now.”
Having said that, he swept away like the wind.
Seeing the empty seat in front of him, Xiao Yao couldn't help but let out another "ah".
Soon, the weaving monster came back with a strange monster wearing glasses and carrying a medicine box.
"Oh, why are you in such a hurry? My shoes are about to fall off."
What happened next was like a dream for this little demon from the county town who came to do business.
The magician named Luo took it and the doctor with him and quickly burrowed back into the county town.
"Can you use this earth escape technique?" Apparently, this way of traveling was not common, and this compiled monster was not skilled enough in using its power, so halfway through the journey, they had to come out of the ground to breathe.
The result was once in a stinking ditch and once in a cemetery.
The monster's own head almost hit the human's tombstone.
The hard work was indeed useful, as it took the county monster nearly half a day to get into the city and only took ten minutes to get back.
At this time, grandpa was still lying in bed.
The doctor from the Demon Bureau came forward to examine the patient, and for a long while, he looked a little puzzled.
Seeing him like this, the other two demons were shocked: "What's wrong?"
"It's fine, it just hasn't eaten for a long time."
As the saying goes, hungry.
Xiao Yao couldn't believe it and murmured, "No way, it's obviously because Grandpa couldn't eat that he got sick."
The doctor shook his head: "You have got cause and effect wrong."
"Let me try." In order to wake up the old demon, the editor demon simply took out a bottle of moonlight issued by the bureau and found a way to pour it into the old demon's mouth.
After a moment, the other party regained consciousness.
The doctor raised his chin.
The little demon was shocked and angry, and threw himself on the old demon: "Grandpa, why are you like this?"
The old man knew that he had made trouble, and said awkwardly: "I just wanted to save some money."
The children are getting older and can't just stay like this. It wants to find a school that can give the little demons an education, or an opportunity to be an apprentice, and put the children in there.
But think about it, which of the above doesn’t cost money?
For this reason, the old demon could only live frugally. Not only did he not eat more, he also saved his moonlight, stored it, and exchanged it for some things.
A family that loves its children will plan for them in the long run.
Even a monster cannot escape the blood ties.
After hearing this, the little demon burst into tears. Only the editing demon was moved but still shook his head. After the little demon finished crying, the touching scene was interrupted.
"Don't you know that if you want to study now, you can apply for a student loan from the Monster Bureau?"
This is a new policy that has just been proposed. Not long after it was announced, the editor monster couldn't wait to explain it to the two monsters.
When two strange monsters came to his house, the old monster didn't know who they were at first, but he was very grateful that they cured his illness.
But who knew that the other party suddenly came up with a "weird plan".
The old demon's expression changed instantly.
Just when the old demon was still wondering whether the Demon Bureau was up to evil again and packaged extortion under a new name, the editorial demon had already turned around and criticized it with regret.
"It's a good thing that you want to earn money for your children's tuition, but you have to be careful about the way and method."
How can you save money by not eating?
"At your age, your hands and feet are still very agile. How can you stay at home? You have to go out and work."
ah?
The old demon was stunned for a moment.
This is the first time in all these years that a monster says it is young.
The weaving monster seemed to sense its confusion and asked, "How old are you now?"
The old demon calculated: "One hundred and eighty."
In their tribe, the longest-lived monster only lives for 300 years.
"That's right!" The weaving monster clapped his hands and said earnestly, "Use human algorithms. You are still young now."
"Look at our Director Lu. The average human lifespan is 70 to 80 years old, but he's already 63 years old, and he's been working overtime lately."
"You have to be strict with yourself!"
After being fooled by the compilation monster, the old monster himself was confused. He counted on his fingers and found that he seemed to be not old.
Realizing that he was still young, the thought alone was enough to cheer up the old demon.
After all, the reason why it uses extreme methods to save money is because it thinks it is old and incompetent.
Some time ago, he lost his job, and this thought became more profound.
The editor has done psychological counseling for the old demon, but he knows that this is not enough. Relatively speaking, the most important thing is how to bring economic income to the family.
"There will soon be a factory in our city called the Golden Dragon Company. They will be hiring monsters soon. You should work hard and go and work for two years."
As for the old demon's request to make his cub an apprentice, it was directly rejected by the organizing demon.
"It's so young, what kind of work can it do? Go to school and study hard."
According to the editorial monster, a boarding school will also be opened in W City, named W City Monster No. 1 Middle School. At that time, all little monsters can attend the school.
"Humans have nine years of compulsory education, but we don't have the money, so we can only provide three years for now."
But during these three years, there is no tuition fee, and the Monster Bureau also provides food and accommodation, which can obviously improve the living conditions of many little monsters.
The old demon's family had gone through a baptism of ideas, and they were still dizzy when they were saying goodbye to the demon.
"Grandpa, is what Sister Luo said true?"
Can they really work in factories and go to schools full of monsters?
"Pinch me." said the old demon.
The little demon pinched the old demon, causing him to cry in pain: "You bastard, why are you pinching me like that?"
This old monster is also a sick monster!
The little demon exposed it: "You are not sick."
I'm just hungry.
Realizing that his grandfather was fine, the little demon no longer paid attention to it, but chased after it in three or two steps and stopped the weaving demon and the doctor.
"Sister Luo, this is for you."
The little demon took out a gift from his pocket and handed it to the weaving demon.
When buying this gift, the little demon was very reluctant, but at this time, it was very glad that it had prepared something presentable.
Otherwise, how can it express its gratitude?
The weaving demon took a look at the gift handed over by the little demon, his face changed, and he stretched out his hand to twist the little demon's ear: "Little bastard, where did you get the money to buy these? Did you go out to borrow money?"
Half an hour later, the editing monster took the little monster to return the gifts and paid back the borrowed money.
Although the loan period was not long, the borrowing monster still wanted interest, but was glared back by the editing monster.
Free of debt and feeling relieved, the little demon was sent back home in a daze by the organizing demon.
"Study hard, little one."
The weaving monster turned and left, and the little monster followed him again.
"Sister Luo, why are you like this?" The little demon could understand the logic of the weaving demon asking for "filial piety" and "gifts", because providing services is paid.
Therefore, it does not understand Sister Luo's logic.
Why should the other party be so nice to my family?
The compilation monster stopped, some images appeared in his mind, and then said: "This is our duty."
This is also what Director Ning repeatedly emphasized to them after taking office.
If there is anything else, it is probably its own personal reason: because when it needed help, it got the help of Lord Ning.
Then, she also hopes that she can provide help when others need help.
"If you want to repay me, study hard and become a demon that is capable of helping the weak." Finally, the weaving demon rubbed the little demon's head and left.
Behind him, the little demon stood there, and only went back reluctantly after the organizing demon and the doctor left.
"...Mr. Xiao Luo is very eloquent."
Where Xiao Yao couldn't see, the doctor smiled and teased.
The weaving monster glared at it.
"I just don't know how Mr. Luo from the factory and school will solve this problem?"
The editor was stunned for a moment.
Yes, the so-called factory recruiting people refers to the Xiaojinlong Company. It is just in the establishment stage and recruiting people is still on the agenda, but the W City Monster No. 1 Middle School is completely nowhere to be seen.
Ning Su just mentioned it casually in the bureau last month.
It may take some time before enrollment starts.
Thinking that he had leaked the news out in excitement, the editor felt a little regretful.
But soon, this regret turned into determination: "I can't lie to the cub."
"so?"
"I'll go and urge the leader."
Ning Su never thought that there would be a day when he would be PUAed by his subordinates. Just after the meeting, he was stopped by a familiar-looking editor and asked about student loans and school construction.
"Soon, definitely!"
Ning Su replied to his subordinates in a somewhat embarrassed manner and fled away.
In fact, he had no time at all during this period of time. After meeting with Lucao, the other party provided a lot of information about Chai Erlang and his small gang after returning.
Although this information cannot be said to be 100% relevant, it can still provide certain help to the General Administration's investigation.
As a carrier of news, Ning Su has been acting as an intermediary between the two sides during this period of time.
In addition, Ning Su finally moved after living in the staff dormitory for three months.
He found a new house in W City, and during this time he was busy purchasing furniture and supplies.
In short, very busy.
During this busy time, plans for the Monster School were naturally put on hold - and the more important issue was that the Monster Bureau had no money.
To this day, the money borrowed from the General Administration is still owed.
Ning Su hid his face and slipped away once, but who knew that the editor demon would not be so easily fooled by him like this -
Two days later, he saw the smiling weaving monster on his way to work. The other party greeted him and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Lord Ning, what a coincidence."
Ning Su: “…”
Not a coincidence at all.
Does he look like a fool?
As a result, after being "encountered" several times, all the employees in the bureau knew about it and began to laugh at the joke, even making a bet on "Did Lord Ning get stuck today?"
Director Lu, who loves to watch the fun, was naturally among them.
"Can't you just take care of it?" Ning Su said unhappily.
As the director, it is obvious that Director Lu is the one who should be blocked!
"I can't control this." Director Lu watched the fun and pretended to be innocent and comforted, "Just bear with it. Everyone has been tired for a while."
"Haven't you noticed that the atmosphere in the unit has improved a lot recently?"
Work can be divided into busy and idle periods, just like a string that cannot be kept taut all the time. We have been busy for a while, so we should take a break during this period.
As a leader, providing fun to everyone is also part of my job.
"Besides, they were just having fun and didn't scold you, which is already very good." Director Lu has rich experience in this regard.
But it was not a good idea to keep making a fuss like this, so Ning Su found a time, called the editing monster over, and had a good chat with him.
After listening to Ning Su's reasons, the editor named Xiao Luo thought for a moment and asked tentatively:
“I know the bureau is having a hard time, but maybe we don’t have to build the school all at once, but instead do it piece by piece?”
For example, start with one or two classes, gather the children of appropriate age, and start teaching the classes.
When the conditions are met, we will expand the scope and recruit more little demons.
"Your subordinate is a genius." Director Lu was originally listening on the side. After hearing Xiao Luo's suggestion, he couldn't help but sigh.
The other party said something that almost convinced even him, a bystander.
"September is the start of school. Human cubs all go to school. How can our little demon cub stay at home?"
If this isn’t provocation, what is?
"What do you mean my subordinates?" Ning Su caught the mistake in Director Lu's words, "They are obviously Director Yao's subordinates."
Director Lu shook his head: "This time it really can't be counted that way. She was transferred from the Monster Bureau in City A."
It turns out that this little Luo is also a ruthless demon. In the early years, she was admitted to the A city system for Ning Su, and later Ning Su was transferred, and she also wanted to transfer.
After learning that she could not be transferred, she simply planned to resign during the internship period and take the exam again.
Because this move was quite unusual, all the leaders of City A knew about it, and the director at the time gave her the green light.
"Is there such a thing?" Ning Su was a little confused.
Director Lu shed a tear of sympathy for Xiao Luo: "You forgot that you dealt with a group of local evil forces in City A in order to investigate counterfeit drugs. Xiao Luo's sister was among them at the time."
The evil forces were defeated and Sister Xiao Luo was freed.
That year, Xiao Luo was admitted to the A City Monster Bureau.
I see.
However, even if it is his own demon, it cannot control himself in reverse. Ning Su feels a bit headache.
Director Lu glanced at him and couldn't help asking, "Are you really delaying because the bureau has no money?"
Perhaps, it was Ning Su's depressed mood that led to his low execution ability in recent times.
Ning Su’s troubles were discovered and he sighed.
"It's still because of the incident in the demon country next door."
Unlike Lucao's self-consolation, even though Lucao brought the topic back to the topic during the conversation that day, Ning Su could still feel the other party's genuine doubts and confusion.
This kind of "resentment" hit Ning Su's heart.
Even though the director of the General Administration later denied this statement, Ning Su still couldn't get over it.
Whenever he thought that it was his own people who had locked up these monsters in the Monster Kingdom and kept them away for a thousand years, he found it difficult to face the entire Monster Kingdom.
Thanks to being a dragon, he gained special favor from the monsters in the monster kingdom. At the same time, how would he face the mistakes made by his predecessors?
What a cub!
After listening to Ning Su's story, Director Lu couldn't help but sigh.
The cub's worries, even if his thoughts were rolled up into a ball, were like a pile of hay dried by the sun, exuding a fresh smell.
"Regardless of whether there is a misunderstanding or not - if it is really the seniors who did something wrong, then you should make amends!"
ah?
As someone who always gives advice to others, this was the first time that Ning Su was comforted like this.
"No matter if they like you or not, just be proactive."
Director Lu’s approach is always very direct. No matter what, he just goes for it and does it first.
Maybe things were not as bad as he imagined.
"You are a great demon with many years to live, but you are still a cub. Time is on your side. No matter what you do, take your time."
As long as you do it, everything will be fine.
Ning Su took a sip of the chicken soup from Director Lu, which drove away the haze in his heart. He soon figured it out -
Why worry about it? Just do it.
If the monsters in the Monster Kingdom have been imprisoned for a thousand years, he will find a way to release them; if the other party is dissatisfied, he will try his best to make up for it.
Soon, the entire W City Monster Bureau's staff of monsters, their workaholic Lord Ning, returned.
"Let's have a meeting to discuss the affairs of the Little Golden Dragon Company."
With Ning Su's renewed vitality, the somewhat tired W City Demon Bureau seemed to be re-energized.
Although the work is busy and tiring, they seem to prefer the other party's energetic and busy state to the lazy Lord Ning.
Seeing his impetuous look, the employees of the Monster Bureau also felt their mood improved.
"I'll be busy for some time to come." There was a smile on the face of the weaving monster when he said this.
Even though Ning Su wanted to solve the problem of the Demon Country, he did not forget his responsibilities and still put the matter of making money first.
Now, the only source of cash flow for the Yao Bureau is the Jinlong Co., Ltd.
As the only company founded by monsters in W City, the Monster Bureau naturally has the obligation to support it.
Therefore, after some hesitation, Ning Su successfully took over the position of company spokesperson and promised to shoot commercials for it if conditions permit.
But that’s all in the past.
What lies ahead is that the harvest season has just passed, and the crops picked from the fields have already been sold through live broadcasts.
You have to think of a product that can sell well.
Just when Ning Su was worrying about what to sell for the Little Golden Dragon Company, in the neighboring Demon Country, the elders were calling Lu Cao to give him a lecture.
"It's been half a month!"
In the past half month, the Dragon King has not taken the initiative to get close to their demon country.
Normally, the elders did not care about everything and seldom called them to give them a lecture. Lu Cao was a little confused for a moment.
When he realized what the elders were worried about, Lu Cao reacted and said carelessly, "No way, didn't we just provide Long Jun with information about Jackal?"
It was it who took charge of this job, and the clan elders also gave their permission.
Could it be that the elders of the clan have become confused?
"No, that's not right." The elder shook his head.
The logic here is wrong.
Some time ago, Long Jun had just taken office. At that time, the situation in W City was very bad. Long Jun probably wanted to make money and quickly thought of them.
Therefore, whether it is the live broadcast advertisements or the subsequent posters, they are all because of the desire to develop this market.
But now, the economic situation of the Monster Bureau in City W has not improved much, but Long Jun suddenly stopped getting money from them.
There must be something wrong here.
"Tell me again what you said to Long Jun the last time you met."
Lu Cao was confused for a moment, but seeing that the elder was so serious, he explained the whole thing in detail.
"Wait, what did you say?"
"You told the Dragon King that we can't leave the Demon Country?"
Lucao blinked, not understanding: "Yes, yes."
broken!
The clan elder slapped his thigh.
Lu Cao now knows that it is a brainwash package, but Long Jun doesn’t know!
Based on what it had learned about Long Jun during this period, he was obviously a very responsible cub. After hearing what Lu Cao said, he must have felt guilty and started to avoid dealing with them.
How can this be possible?
They are subjects of the Dragon Kingdom. How can they let the Dragon King stay away from them because of some misunderstandings?
What's more, there are so many monsters in this world who want to be the Dragon King's subjects. If a scheming monster takes advantage of this opportunity and seduce the Dragon King away, wouldn't they have no place to cry?
The elder felt uncomfortable when he thought about the cub being sad because of this.
No, they must let the Dragon King know their intentions.
"Come here, I have a task for you."
Ning Su didn't know that his thoughts had been noticed by the monster next door. At this moment, he was busy doing research.
At the same time, he was still relying on the phone to find external help.
During this slack season, what will be Xiaojinlong Company's main business?
However, before he could come up with a reliable conclusion, he received news from Xiaojinlong Company.
They received a strange order.
The reason why it is strange is that the buyer contacted them online and asked to order several small golden dragon pillows.
The buyers of these pillows were given design drawings that looked like the ones on their trademarks. Not only did they generously order a lot of them, they also offered very high prices.
However, despite such good conditions, the delivery destination for these pillows is next door.
If the previous content seemed like a piece of cake, then after seeing this address, Xiao Jinlong Company would not dare to take it for granted.
All the monsters in W City know that the next door is a restricted area.
Orders from the restricted area must naturally be handed over to the Demon Bureau.
After receiving the order, Ning Su was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Lu Cao had not informed him about this matter in advance.
However, when Ning Su saw the order quantity, he was stunned.
1298 pieces.
If I remember correctly, not long ago, Lucao told me roughly about the situation in the Demon Kingdom.
Excluding those foreign monsters like Chai Erlang, there are a total of 1,298 subjects of the Monster Kingdom.
This order from the neighboring demon country seemed to be trying to tell him in this way that all his subjects liked him very much.
"Well, give birth." Ning Su blushed for some unknown reason.
Half a month later, the little golden dragon pillow was delivered.
However, Jinlong Company did not charge a high price, but only the cost price.
“By the way, there is a special gift inside.” Xiao Jinlong Company said when delivering the goods.
The elder of the clan opened the package first. In addition to a cute Q-version pillow, there was also a signed photo of Ning Su.
There are different blessings written on the photos and a small love heart drawn on them.
Looking at this loving heart, the elder was somewhat stunned - he clearly wanted to coax the cub, but he didn't expect that in the end, he was coaxed by the cub instead.
