Not long after, Jin Yu also arrived at the Economic Development Division. Hong Ximing informed her of the transfer yesterday.

"Why didn't you wait for me..." Jin Yu saw Chu Zhishui excitedly greeted her, and when she saw the cold Xin Yunmao, she was like someone pressed the volume button, and she subconsciously panicked and stammered, "Let's clean together?"

Jin Yu's face turned pale, obviously frightened. She rarely ran into Xin Yunmao during work hours.

"It's okay. There will be opportunities to clean up in the future." Chu Zhishui saw Jin Yu's timidity. She glanced at Xin Yunmao again and took charge of the situation, saying, "Although we know each other, it's a rare opportunity to meet again. We should go through the process and get to know each other better."

"This is Jin Yu, and this is Xin Yunmao. We used to be in the Logistics Department, and we will be in the Economic Development Department in the future. It seems that we have a fate."

Chu Zhishui was like a kindergarten teacher, gently guiding both parties to remove the barriers.

Jin Yu bowed his head honestly: "Hello."

Xin Yunmao nodded.

This was considered the first communication. In the past, Jin Yu avoided Xin Yunmao in the Logistics Department, and Xin Yunmao simply turned a blind eye to others. It was not a healthy workplace atmosphere at all. Coming to the Economic Development Department, he had to slowly change.

Chu Zhishui was originally worried that Xin Yunmao would say something outrageous, but now she realized that she was worrying too much. He was silent in front of other monsters.

Jin Yu looked at the empty desk and hurriedly said, "I'll go to the Logistics Department first and get my things."

"Let me help you."

Chu Zhishui found out when she came that she compared her desk in the Economic Development Department with that in the Logistics Department one by one, and even the position where she casually placed her signature pen the day before was the same. She didn't know how she did it.

But Jin Yu's new desk was still empty, and her things had not been moved over.

The two went to the Logistics Department to say hello to Niu Shi, and agreed to come back often to visit, and then left with the information.

In the corridor, Chu Zhishui was filled with doubts. When no one was around, she finally asked, "Jin Yu, why are you so afraid of him?"

She knew that Xin Yunmao was out of place in the logistics department, but she didn't understand why.

"Maybe I'm still relatively weak. I've been a demon for too short a time, and I always feel a strong sense of oppression." Jin Yu stammered, "He and I are not demons of the same level at all." "Are

you demons divided into levels?"

Jin Yu nodded honestly: "Yes, you may not feel it because you are a human, but we can naturally distinguish them. For example, Director Hu Hong and the demons in the Observation Department are all more powerful than us who are in charge of logistics. My ability is to erase memories, and they may have stronger talents."

Chu Zhishui comforted: "You are still young, and your future is limitless."

"And I remember someone said before that it is best to have less contact with him, as there will be dangerous things..."

"Dangerous things? Similar to what?"

Jin Yu racked her brains for a long time, she lowered her head in shame: "I'm sorry, it seems to be something that happened when I first joined the bureau, but I can't remember it clearly now, and I forgot who said it at the time."

"It doesn't matter, this is also in line with scientific evidence."

Jin Yu was puzzled: "What scientific evidence?"

"Fish have a bad memory." Chu Zhishui joked, "Maybe after a while you will even forget Chief Wu."

"He is so annoying that you can't forget it. Don't you know that after Director Hong notified him yesterday, he was so angry that he jumped up and down in the office." Jin Yu was very excited after escaping from the clutches of the devil, and promised happily, "I will work hard in the Economic Development Department in the future!"

After returning to the house, Chu Zhishui arranged for Jin Yu to use the computer to input the old data of the Economic Development Department. Because Xin Yunmao was not good at using electronic products, this kind of work could not be assigned to him.

Chu Zhishui originally wanted to explain a few words, but Jin Yu took the order and left with high spirits. She didn't mind at all that her former colleague became her boss, and she didn't raise any objections to the work assignment.

The whole morning was peaceful. Chu Zhishui checked the tea garden data, Jin Yu entered the information, and even Xin Yunmao sat quietly in the house without wandering outside.

When lunch break came, Chu Zhishui stretched lazily. She turned around and found the table behind her empty. She blinked in surprise. She didn't know when he slipped away. He was clearly there just a few minutes ago.

Xin Yunmao disappeared in a second during lunch break. He perfectly fulfilled his promise. He appeared according to the working hours of the bureau and disappeared during breaks. He never stayed in the office for too long.

Chu Zhishui didn't mind. If he was too slow, it would be another question whether to invite him to have lunch together.

"Jin Yu, let's go eat."

In the cafeteria, the two found Niu Shi in the corner, but did not see Xin Yunmao. Chu Zhishui talked about future business plans while having lunch with her colleagues.

There are all kinds of strange resources in the Huaijiang Observation Bureau. It takes time to classify them, and no one knows where they come from. After reading the data, Chu Zhishui found a wild tea garden of about 50 mu, all green tea, not very large.

There are quite a few tea farmers in Huaijiang, but Huaijiang tea is not well-known in China, and there is no intensive production. Some families do not make a living by growing tea, but will keep one or two mu of green tea, stir-fry the tea in a dry pot, and keep it for themselves or give it to others.

Chu Zhishui is now thinking about the tea garden, wondering if he can run it.

"Tea garden?" Niu Shi pondered, "It seems that there is such a thing, but it has been around for many years, and no one has taken care of it."

"Now is the tea picking season, and it will not be suitable after a while. If we miss the day, there will be no harvest this year." Chu Zhishui said, "Huaijiang has always produced tea. Whether it is hiring people to pick tea or express shipping and sales, it is relatively easy to get started. At least we can find channels."

Jin Yu asked curiously, "Can our tea be sold?"

"If we sell it to customers from other places, we will definitely not be able to compete with professional tea merchants. Their operations and scale are very mature. We are now almost like a small workshop, just used to supplement the performance of the bureau." Chu Zhishui smiled, "But at least we can pick some tea from the tea garden, and then think of some ways to sell the tea and see if we can give play to the advantages of the bureau."

Jin Yu seemed to understand.

"Brother Niu, I want to go to the tea garden in two days. Do you know anyone who is familiar with the tea industry nearby?"

Niu Shi came to the bureau earlier than Wu Changgong. He was in charge of the canteen and knew a lot of people. He was undoubtedly the most familiar with the surrounding situation.

Niu Shi: "I'll ask for you some other day."

Chu Zhishui hurriedly thanked him.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. The Economic Development Department is in the pioneering stage. It is impossible to create a well-known brand right away. Fortunately, there are only more than 20 people in the bureau. If the Economic Development Department can earn one million yuan a year, it means that each person will receive an extra 40,000 yuan a year, which is more than 5,000 yuan a month.

This is the short-term goal set by Chu Zhishui. Although it is still far from the previous salary, things are done step by step, and you can't get fat in one breath. She often thinks back to the fulfillment of school recently. At that time, she also rushed to various occasions, hoping that her efforts would bear fruit, which is exactly the same as the current situation.

Wild tea gardens are said to be high-end, but in fact, no one takes care of them. The data says it is green tea, mainly Lao Longjing and Longjing 43.

The most valuable green tea is undoubtedly the bud tip. The tender leaves in early spring are very small, and the output will never be high. The price can reach one thousand yuan per catty. As the green leaves grow vigorously, the color of the fine leaves gradually changes, and the output will increase accordingly, but the price of green tea will drop instead. The larger the tea leaves, the higher the output, but the lower the price, until it is completely out of season.

Moreover, green tea cannot be stored. The green tea of ​​the previous year loses its tea fragrance. Only the fresh tea tastes good.

The green tea mountain stretches out, with slightly undulating slopes, like soft green yarn falling to the ground. Cars cannot climb up the narrow path and can only park at the entrance of the tea mountain.

Chu Zhishui and the tea farmers gathered at the foot of the mountain, looking up to take in the green scenery. She has come to the tea garden several times recently to consult about the picking and sales of tea, and finally got a thorough understanding of the situation of the fifty acres of green tea.

"Your fifty mu of tea is not a lot, but you still need to hire people to pick it. Seven or eight people are enough to pick the buds, and then arrange for people to stir-fry the tea. When the green tea leaves come in large quantities, there will be more than ten or twenty people to do it, right?"

Chu Zhishui humbly asked for advice: "How much does it cost to hire people to pick tea here?" "

Generally, we hire people because it's too busy now. Some are paid daily wages, and some are packaged." The man looked her up and down, "If you really want to do it, I can find someone for you, and then I will charge a lower price, and help you wholesale it."

The man in front of him was a tea seller, so he naturally had sales channels, and occasionally he would buy tea from farmers.

Chu Zhishui didn't comment, and simply changed the subject and asked about the packaging and express delivery costs. She recently asked Jin Yu to check if there were any missing business licenses. Anyway, a small company had been registered in the bureau before, so it was not necessary to sell it to other tea merchants at wholesale prices.

Before the group left, the tea merchant looked around the lush tea garden. Seeing that she did not respond, he continued to lobby: "I don't think you have time to do it, why not rent out the tea mountain? This tea garden has been abandoned for several years. You heard that the price of tea leaves is high, but it needs people to maintain it every year. It only makes money for one or two months. To be honest, it is very troublesome to do it. It is better to rent it out and worry less!"

Chu Zhishui listened to his persistent persuasion all the way, and immediately realized that the tea garden in the bureau was not bad. Since the tea merchant wanted to rent the mountain, it means that the existing tea trees are of excellent quality, otherwise he would not be so active.

Chu Zhishui smiled and said, "Can you leave me your contact information? Because of the special situation in the bureau, I have to report it to the leader."

"Okay, okay, phone number? Or I'll scan it for you on WeChat?"

The tea merchant was busy collecting tea everywhere, so he left his contact information and hurried to the next stop.

Seeing that both parties had left their phone numbers, the others just waited for the tea merchant to leave, and then kindly replied, "Hey, little girl, I advise you not to rent it to him. Your tea garden is good, and someone else can sell it for a higher price. Merchants like him will bargain for you!"

Chu Zhishui is obviously still young, and she looks well-educated, gentle and quiet. The car she drives is considered mid-to-high-end in Huaijiang City. At first glance, she looks like a rich girl who is easily deceived. Because of her wealthy family, she has not been beaten by society.

Everyone thought she was inexperienced and really wanted to rent out the tea garden to tea merchants, so they couldn't bear to persuade her to stop.

"Thank you, but the tea garden is not mine." Chu Zhishui said gently, "Do you grow tea too?"

"Yes, my tea garden is close to yours, and I also grow some white tea."

"Fifty acres too?"

"More than a hundred acres."

Chu Zhishui showed admiration: "That's amazing, it's not easy to manage."

Someone next to him interrupted: "What's that? My family has two hundred acres, if it really wants to be large-scale, it will have to be thousands of acres!"

Chu Zhishui just took the lead, and the topic of tea planting was opened up, and she learned about the situation of other tea farmers. Seeing her happy face, others chatted with each other.

Tea gardens basically have little income in the first two years. The output is mainly related to the age of the trees. According to different picking methods, there are also single buds, one bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves.

What puzzled her was that according to the tea farmers, the tea garden needs to be carefully taken care of, but the bureau is a wild tea mountain, and there is no reason to have such good tea trees.

After Chu Zhishui got the information, she sighed and said with emotion: "It's all hard-earned money."

"That's right, but I can't help it if I don't sell it, otherwise how can I support my family!"

In order to reduce labor costs, tea farmers basically work with their entire families, but the ones who can really make money are often tea merchants. However, tea farmers rarely have the ability to create valuable brands, and at the same time they cannot directly control sales channels. They can only provide raw materials to make some money, which is also unavoidable.

Chu Zhishui knew that tea growing was no match for tea farmers, and if he wanted to make more money, he had to find other ways.

After many investigations, Chu Zhishui also talked about this with Jin Yu.

Jin Yu was confused. She didn't understand the operation of a tea garden, so she asked the most curious question: "How much money can we make if we rent it out?"

"It should be hundreds of thousands, not much." Chu Zhishui said, "We need to discuss the details."

Jin Yu's eyes widened: "That's already a lot! It will take me several years to make that much!"

Chu Zhishui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But these hundreds of thousands are the total profit. After the bureau divides it up, each person can get a few thousand. If we sell it ourselves, the profit can be even higher."

"But we have to find someone to pick tea before we sell it, right?"

"Yes, if we don't accept their one-stop packaging, we have to hire people to pick tea first, and then find a way to sell tea." Chu Zhishui thought, "We may need to ask the bureau to approve the cost of hiring people in the early stage."

"Go to the Finance Department?" Jin Yu asked in embarrassment, "Why do I feel it's unrealistic? Even the Inspection Department quarrels with the Finance Department over money every day."

The Inspection Department is the most powerful department of the Huaijiang Inspection Bureau, and all applications for various funds must be approved at various levels.

Chu Zhishui certainly understood this, and Director Hu promised to cooperate, but when it comes to each department, the directors are not pushovers, so why should they bother with a new deputy section chief like her?

"Sure enough, the most profitable ones are illegal." Chu Zhishui was distressed, "It seems that we still have to think of some shortcuts."

"What shortcuts?"

"How to avoid violating the Labor Law and reduce labor costs to the lowest level."

"?"

The operation of the tea garden kept Chu Zhishui busy, and he was running around outside for several days.

Chu Zhishui had no time to stay in the office, so a lot of data sorting fell on Jin Yu's shoulders. Although Jin Yu didn't care and thought it was less work than the logistics department, Chu Zhishui still felt bad.

Therefore, every time she drove back to the bureau, she would buy three cups of milk tea on the way and bring them to the Economic Development Division to share with her colleagues. Although she prefers coffee, Jin Yu prefers pearl milk tea, and likes normal sugar the most.

Over time, Jin Yu felt embarrassed and said weakly: "Actually, you don't have to bring milk tea all the time. I just need to try it once."

"It's okay, I like milk tea." Chu Zhishui comforted without changing his expression, "I want you to drink with me."

"But you don't charge money every time, how much does it cost to buy so much." Jin Yu lowered her head uneasily. She felt that Chu Zhishui had a weak sense of money. The other party was not like Wu Changgong who boasted everywhere, but his every move revealed generosity.

"It's not a lot of money."

Chu Zhishui didn't lie. In the past, the money for one cup of milk tea in Yinhai City could buy three cups in Huaijiang City. Now it really doesn't make her feel stressed. She looked around the two demons and whispered in a gentle voice: "The most important thing is that everyone is happy, or don't you like to drink it?"

Xin Yunmao has always been a man of few words in the office, but he didn't have any objections and sat quietly by the window.

Jin Yu blushed: "I do like it, but..."

Chu Zhishui smiled and said, "It's OK if you like it, don't think too much about it."

Jin Yu was fooled like this. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out the details.

The Economic Development Department has just started, and there are indeed a lot of affairs. Jin Yu occasionally has to leave the office to handle formalities and will not stay in the office every day. Chu Zhishui usually buys bubble tea when Jin Yu is around. To be honest, she is not too crazy about sweet, high-sugar milk tea.

In the office, Xin Yunmao saw Chu Zhishui coming back empty-handed. He thought about her recent habits, thought silently for a few seconds, and asked curiously: "You seem to buy very little milk tea these two days. Don't you like drinking that kind of sweet water?"

"Jin Yu went out to work today and probably won't be back until after work." Chu Zhishui asked in confusion, "Do you want to drink it? I feel that you are not very interested in bubble tea."

She had packed milk tea from several shops and observed the drinking speed of her colleagues, so she could roughly infer their respective preferences. Both demons are more addicted to sugar, but Jin Yu prefers super sweet bubble milk tea, while Xin Yunmao prefers lighter fruit tea.

"It's not that you like it..." Xin Yunmao frowned slightly, and he suddenly realized and said in disbelief, "You bought it specifically for her and brought it to me?"

She also said that she hoped everyone would drink with her, but it turned out that they were all drinking with the fish!

"Yes."

Xin Yunmao heard that she had no guilt, and he was even more angry: "Do you think this is reasonable?"

Chu Zhishui found that his icy face was stained with a little anger, and she didn't understand why he was suddenly angry.

Xin Yunmao took a deep breath, but he didn't get angry immediately. He said in a cold voice: "If we follow the rules of offering sacrifices, this is simply disrespectful. I'll give you a chance to change your words. Now change your words to say that you like to drink this, or you bought it for me and brought it to her."

Chu Zhishui was at a loss: "Give me a chance to change your words?"

Xin Yunmao looked dimly: "Yes, I am already magnanimous enough. As long as you change your words, I will forgive you."

Her behavior was similar to burning incense in a Buddhist temple, but the offerings placed on the altar were Christian Bibles, which was no less than dancing in a minefield. This was not simply losing the qualification of a believer, but was completely aimed at provocation and insult.

However, Chu Zhishui did not appreciate it at all. Instead, she said calmly, "I won't change."

Xin Yunmao's eyes were extremely dark, like the spreading night. He pursed his lips and reminded her, "This is your last chance..."

Chu Zhishui said leisurely, "Thank you, but opportunities are not meant to be wasted."

Seeing that she did not repent, Xin Yunmao was finally completely annoyed and said angrily, "So you think that I should be treated the same as that fish!?"

She wanted to compare Hu Chenrui with him, but Jin Yu was just a little monster who had just become aware.

The gap between Xin Yunmao and Jin Yu might be that of a full-level boss and a novice rookie.

Chu Zhishui was stunned, "Of course not."

Xin Yunmao's face eased a little when he heard this, thinking that she still had a desire to survive.

Chu Zhishui blinked: "Jin Yu's workload is greater than yours, so his salary should be higher than yours. Isn't this reasonable?"

"???"
