Chu Zhishui made a wish to Xin Yunmao to let him be quiet for two hours, and it was indeed granted. However, the power of the wish is really strong, and there are still sequelae to this day. Not only did Xin Yunmao keep silent for two hours, but he didn't even talk to her for a few days afterwards.

Chu Zhishui took the initiative to greet him and occasionally exchanged a few words, but he didn't respond at all, and turned his head in a pretended indifference.

Over time, Jin Yu felt that the atmosphere in the office was unusual. She had never dared to talk to Xin Yunmao. Now she found that the man and the demon had been quarreling recently, and she was even more uneasy when she stayed in the room to work.

Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao got along well before, so Jin Yu barely felt safe in the Economic Development Department, but the low pressure in the department recently made her shiver. It

was not until lunch break when Xin Yunmao disappeared from the room that Jin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She rubbed her arms in panic to dispel the chill that penetrated deep into her body, and said weakly, "Why is it like this suddenly? Wasn't he fine before?"

"He's just stirring up trouble," Chu Zhishui said calmly, "and he's using the same tricks that even I used to use in kindergarten."

"What's your conflict? Can't you reconcile?"

Chu Zhishui had no intention of mentioning the source of the conflict, and simply answered the question with a question, "Do I still need to coax him when he goes out to work?"

Jin Yu stuttered and advised, "It's not impossible if that's the case. He is indeed a monster with a strong evil spirit, different from Section Chief Wu. It's better not to offend him..."

Jin Yu seriously suspected that Chu Zhishui was not sensitive to evil spirits. Could it be that neither of them noticed the oppressive feeling in the room?

"He's tall, but he's narrow-minded. Could it be that this has something to do with his level as a monster?" Chu Zhishui glanced at the empty seat behind her, then looked at Jin Yu in front of her, and said with a smile, "The more powerful your monsters are, the more angry you are?"

"Don't say that, it's easy for people to hear!" Jin Yu looked around in panic, afraid that she would see the real boss, and whispered, "At his level, even if he's not at the scene, he might be able to see and hear everything."

Monsters have their own talents and abilities, which are closely related to their original bodies. Jin Yu couldn't see through Xin Yunmao's true identity, so she was usually more cautious.

"If he heard it, he would hear it. He won't speak up even if he heard it. You can only bear it if you are unhappy."

Jin Yu was shocked: "... Although you don't have the spirit, you are also very powerful in some aspects."

Chu Zhishui knew that Xin Yunmao was deliberately demonstrating. If he really wanted to make the relationship awkward, he could just not come to the office and wander around the bureau like before. Wu Changgong couldn't control him at first, so Chu Zhishui naturally couldn't control him either, and everything went back to the way it was before.

But he wandered around the department with a cold face every day, emitting cold air and showing his presence everywhere, obviously wanting her to give way.

In Chu Zhishui's view, one should be soft-mouthed but hard-hearted in life and work. In daily life, one should be easy to talk to and have no temper in small matters. It's OK if everyone is happy, but in major matters, one must never compromise. At critical moments, one must be tough, strike a fatal blow, and then soften one's attitude. She usually doesn't care about his nonsense and slackness, but when it comes to workload evaluation, one must never make a fuss about the distribution, otherwise the department will be in chaos.

Chu Zhishui is quite calm, as if she didn't notice Xin Yunmao's coldness. She still greeted the two monsters cordially every day. She was fair and impartial, and didn't leave any handles. Of course, she didn't give in either. She didn't mention the black and white, and entered a tense period of confrontation.

Jin Yu has been like ice and fire in the Economic Development Department recently. Xin Yunmao is like a frosty sword, but Chu Zhishui is like a spring breeze. Fortunately, there were enough chores to do in the tea garden, and she often ran out to do things so that she could avoid the limelight.

"Yes, okay, you can be there at ten o'clock, and we will meet at the door. Okay, okay, see you

later." Chu Zhishui hung up the phone, glanced at the cloudy sky outside the window, picked up the coat hanging on the back of the chair, and prepared to drive to the door of the tea garden to meet up with people. As she stood up and put on her coat, she happened to see Xin Yunmao behind her.

Xin Yunmao was originally looking at her, and when he saw her probing eyes, he turned his head away calmly.

"Are you still angry?" Chu Zhishui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you angry about?"

Xin Yunmao glanced at her sideways, and turned his head back, leaving only a cold side face.

Jin Yu did not stay in the department today, and had to go to get the remaining documents. Chu Zhishui had to hurry to the tea garden. She hesitated whether to leave Xin Yunmao behind. It was not appropriate to let him guard the water dispenser alone, but he had nothing to do in the tea garden. Maybe he didn't want to make a wasted trip?

After thinking it over, Chu Zhishui felt that it was going to rain today, so she simply let him enjoy some leisure time in the office.

"I'll leave first. Just get off work on time today."

Xin Yunmao watched her leave without looking back. Her obsidian eyes were as if they had just been pulled out of a cold pond, soaked in cool light. He pursed his lips silently, but in the end he didn't call her.

I don't know who insisted on dragging him along before, but now she runs faster than anyone else.

At the entrance of the tea garden, the sky was covered with dark clouds, slowly drifting with the cool breeze.

Chu Zhishui met with the tea farmers. She had planned to pick a small amount of tea today, but the weather was not good and there was a hint of rain. This kind of drizzle came and went quickly, and it was not on the weather forecast at all, making it hard to guard against.

There has been no rainfall yet, but the coolness has already been felt. Chu Zhishui looked worried, "Can we pick tea on a rainy day?"

"It won't rain for a while, and you won't pick much anyway, so pick some before the rain." The tea farmer looked up at the sky, then at the tea trees, and estimated, "Once the rain comes, and it clears up tomorrow, today's tender leaves will become old, and they change every day. But I think your tea garden can wait, and the leaves will probably be just right in a while."

Chu Zhishui nodded in agreement and explained, "It's okay, today is also a trial harvest. We're only on these one or two acres of land, and we don't plan to pick all of it."

"Hahaha, just for the experience?"

"Almost, making samples."

Chu Zhishui didn't find too many people today. He planned to make a batch of green tea samples and release them first to test the market.

If tea picking and frying are to be carried out on a large scale now, the bureau will need to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it is unlikely that the finance department will approve the money. She needs to raise deposits from outside to cover the initial manpower expenses, and then find people to pick and make tea, and deliver the finished products to the other party.

It is difficult for ordinary new merchants to get something for nothing, but the Economic Development Department is, after all, a department of the Huaijiang Observation Bureau, not a pure profit-making company.

Long before, Chu Zhishui began to contact brother units through Niu Shi, and communicated with the personnel in charge of purchasing in the Yinhai Bureau, Qiwu Bureau and Kongsang Bureau, suggesting that now is a good time to buy green tea. Tea leaves are something that the unit purchases every year. Instead of buying the uneven green tea outside, it is better to buy the ones produced and sold by the brother units.

Others may worry about the company running away with the money after paying the deposit, but the sister companies will not have such concerns, and the basis of credit is different.

Of course, the attitude should also be paid attention to when promoting products. At least a sample of green tea should be sent to show one's sincerity.

If the other observation bureaus were unwilling to respond, Chu Zhishui planned to let Director Hu go out and show his influence. Since the director could not provide funds, he should at least give some connections to help. If the situation was worse and Director Hu's influence was useless, then this year they would have to put it aside completely and accept the tea merchants' one-stop low price, and then start over again in the next tea season.

This was her initial plan. Money was certain to be made, but the difference was how much or how little.

The fog was thick and the clouds were dark.

The group hurried and finally grabbed a batch of tea, and went into the house to clean and fry it before the drizzle.

The newly picked young leaves are arranged in a bamboo flat, and the defective products and debris are picked out. After being carefully cleaned and spread, they are put into the hot pot. After a while, the heat is controlled and the tea leaves are turned and rubbed with clean hands to make the Longjing leaves curl up. This is the process of hand-frying tea.

There is a cool rain curtain outside the house, but it is hot inside. The firelight reflects the faces of the tea fryers. The whole process takes several hours and they cannot leave the pot.

Chu Zhishui stood aside to ask for advice. She talked and laughed with the tea farmers, and she always felt that there was a strange noise outside the house.

Snap, snap.

"Did you hear any sound?" Chu Zhishui looked outside the house. "It sounded very crisp."

The tea roaster was still turning over the leaves and replied, "No, what sound?"

"It seems to be over there in the tea field."

"It's probably some small animal. It's not like the city here, where there are all kinds of things."

Chu Zhishui was skeptical. She thought that there were still small animals looking for food on rainy days. What kind of animal could be more hardworking than a social animal? She simply took out an umbrella from the side, said hello to the others, and decided to take a walk in the tea field.

The tea roasting hut is located at the entrance, some distance away from the tea field. Looking out, the green tea mountain is in full view. Except for the humid fog, it is no different from usual.

Chu Zhishui was holding an umbrella and wanted to stroll around the edge for a while, then go back to the tea-frying site, but he heard the strange sound again.

Click.

This time the sound was closer, but there was no one in sight.

Longjing tea trees are generally not too tall, but they are tall enough to block people squatting. Chu Zhishui turned his mind and headed towards the side path, looking for the strange sound. Soon he heard three men talking in low voices.

The familiar click sound rang again.

"Oh, are you okay? What happened? You broke after walking two steps?"

"...I can't help it."

"Are they still stealing our tea leaves?"

"No, they've gone into the house now."

"These guys are really taking advantage of us. They actually stole from our three fields. We must teach them a lesson!"

Chu Zhishui was confused. The tea garden was clearly the property of the bureau, so how did it become the property of three strange men?

"Boss, boss, there's someone standing over there!" One of them spotted Chu Zhishui not far away.

"Don't shout! We'll be discovered again!"

"I've seen it."

After a rustling, the three of them stood up from the tea field and revealed their true faces in the rain. The two young men looked young, one was dark-skinned and short, the other was yellow-faced and fat. The leader was a white-bearded old man, skinny but vigorous, with eyes that seemed to be emitting light.

Chu Zhishui was three rows of tea trees away from them, like being blocked by waist-high railings, unable to cross the barrier to talk. Facing the unfriendly looks of the three people, she frowned and said, "Excuse me, who are you? If there is no special reason, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise I will call someone over."

The white-bearded old man repeated sinisterly, "Who are we?"

"Yes, these are the assets of the Huaijiang Observation Bureau. If you can't explain your identity, I hope you will leave immediately."

"You are still trying to find a backer, don't you think we can't see it?" The white-bearded old man saw at a glance that Chu Zhishui was an ordinary person, and said viciously, "Who are we? We are not human--"

The next moment, a thousand-foot demonic energy rushed in, and the momentum was like thousands of horses galloping, rushing forward in rows. The eerie evil spirit did not harm the tea trees. Instead, it flowed like a wave and rushed towards Chu Zhishui on the roadside, wishing to smash the target to pieces!

"Catch her!"

The white-bearded old man gave an order, and two big men found a way to rush over.

Chu Zhishui hurriedly turned around to dodge and rushed to the tea-frying hut as if escaping for her life.

Her ears were filled with the creepy hissing sound of the wind, swallowing up her cries for help.

She was confused in her heart. She thought it was a human, but it turned out to be a monster. Jin Yu once said that monsters cannot attack people. What is the situation now?

The evil spirit behind her missed the attack, and it spread out layers of air waves at her feet, and twisted into a chain of evil spirit like thorny vines, trying to entangle her ankles and try to block her way.

The umbrella rolled to the ground in a panic, and the light-colored umbrella surface was already splashed with mud.

Chu Zhishui's hair was soaked by the rain, and it stuck to her face wetly. There was a shaky wet light in her eyes, ignited by the desire to survive, like a small spark that had not been extinguished. The coat also became damp, and could no longer block the cold rain. The cold air spread up along the limbs, as if to invade the bone marrow.

The left ankle suddenly became icy!

The moment the magic chain locked Chu Zhishui, she finally couldn't help but scream, and then rushed into someone's arms.

In the drizzle, she smelled a refreshing scent that was refreshing, like raindrops lightly hitting branches and leaves, and through the thin cloth, she felt a touch of warmth. His temperature was not high, and even a little cold. I wonder if it was because of the rain.

"Why do you always get yourself dirty?"

A familiar male voice sounded, like a reassurance pill, which made Chu Zhishui feel relieved.

Chu Zhishui didn't know when Xin Yunmao would arrive, but at this moment, he undoubtedly grasped a life-saving straw.

Xin Yunmao held a dark blue paper umbrella in one hand and supported the person in his arms with the other hand. He looked down and saw that her face was full of grievances, her pants and feet were covered with mud, and she was shivering pitifully. He thought to himself that she was really a mess every time she went into the field. He was about to use the cleaning spell, but suddenly saw a thin evil spirit spraying not far away, so he simply threw the paper umbrella into the air.

The blue-black paper umbrella rose from the sky, and the open umbrella surface sucked in the dense demonic energy like a whirlpool. The raindrops that fell on the umbrella evaporated into white steam in the blink of an eye. The paper umbrella turned, and what splashed out from the umbrella brim was not crystal raindrops, but scorching black flames!

The three demons did not expect that the handsome young man in black did not make a move at all, and only relied on a blue-black paper umbrella to repel the surging demonic energy.

"Dragon bone umbrella! It's a dragon bone umbrella!" The white-bearded old man was knowledgeable, and his hair stood on end at this time, and he said in surprise, "He is..."

Black flames broke through the air and splashed on the big men. With a scream, the thin black man and the fat yellow man fell to their knees in agony.

Xin Yunmao had no time to care about the panicking trio. He looked Chu Zhishui up and down, and lightly snapped his fingers. The muddy clothes were refreshed. Only then did he have time to find the troublemaker.

Chu Zhishui's face was pale and she was still in shock. She felt the fabric on her body become dry and warm, ironing against her cold arms. Even her trousers and legs covered with mud became clean. Her panicked heart finally sank into the soft cotton. However, before she could completely come to her senses, she was shocked by the next scene.

The evil spirits of the three demons were dispersed with one move, and replaced by black evil spirits.

The black demon chain dragged the nearest fat man over. The fat man struggled desperately all the way, but only left a few mud marks on the ground. He lay in front of Xin Yunmao without dignity.

"God, spare my life, God, spare my life!" The fat man begged desperately, supporting himself on the ground with his arms, trying to twist and get up.

The thin black man helped: "God, this is a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Xin Yunmao was indifferent to this. His face was as cold as ice. He raised one leg and stepped on the fat man's right arm, then crushed it hard, mocking, "Do you feel so fulfilled bullying humans without demonic energy?"

A heart-wrenching howl sounded, accompanied by a crisp snap!

The force of this kick was completely merciless, and the big man's arm was directly broken. The arm slipped down from the sleeve powerlessly, and there was a visibly dry section inside the sleeve, forming a weird and scary angle, as if the fat yellow man's torso and right arm were completely dislocated.

"His arm... arm..." Chu Zhishui was almost speechless, she was so scared that her soul was out of her body, "It fell, it fell off."

Xin Yunmao heard her uneasy tone, he turned around in confusion and checked: "Yes, what happened?"

Chu Zhishui: "It fell directly off!"

Her scalp was numb now, she didn't understand his indifference at all, the broken arm was still connected to the flesh, but how could this horrific scene of the arm being cut off by a kick! ?

Xin Yunmao saw that her calves were shaking with fear. He thought quietly for a few seconds and smiled: "I almost forgot your age. If you really want to talk about it, you are a child and should go to kindergarten."

After all, Chu Zhishui is only 25 years old this year. She is a child in front of any monster.

Chu Zhishui was stunned and said incredulously: "Did you hear that day..."

She chatted with Jin Yu that day and said that his cold war was a kindergarten trick. She didn't expect that the monster in question really heard it.

As soon as the dragon bone umbrella appeared, the demonic energy was completely withdrawn, and even the drizzle stopped. Xin Yunmao put one hand in his pocket and held an umbrella with the other hand. He kicked the fat man casually and said coldly: "Put your arm back. You can't stand the blood. It's scary."

The fat man picked up his arm with a sullen look: "Okay, okay!"

The thin black man flattered him in a flattering and stiff way: "God, don't be ridiculous. How could you be scared?"

"I mean to scare people, not to scare me." Xin Yunmao raised his eyebrows, "Don't let young children see the bloody and violent scenes."

The thin black man looked at Chu Zhishui thoughtfully. The other party was undoubtedly the only human being present.

The fat man picked up his broken arm and put it back together with a click, as if he was splicing a toy puppet. He didn't put it together properly the first time, so he adjusted the position awkwardly, and finally took it apart and put it back together impatiently.

Chu Zhishui was so scared that he covered his mouth and couldn't speak. He always felt that this scene was like a horror movie. She was particularly afraid of ghosts because ghosts were beyond normal cognition, and the scene before her was obviously unreasonable.

Xin Yunmao looked at her bloodless face and said in a daze, "Why do you feel more scared?"

"Is this reasonable?" Chu Zhishui pointed at the fat Huang's arm, and even her white fingers trembled, questioning, "This is unreasonable--"

Xin Yunmao frowned and looked at the fat Huang, and his dissatisfaction was almost written on his face.

"No blood! There is really no blood!" The fat yellow man was afraid of angering the big monster, so he put his hands up in a gesture of surrender, looked at Chu Zhishui quickly, and assured in fear, "This is what you humans call the adolescent mode. I guarantee that there will be no blood, and even if there is, it will not be red. There will be no bloody or violent scenes!"

The thin black man: "It really can't be changed! Give us adult monsters some free space!"

"..."

What kind of free space is this?

You can freely install and remove the arm, but you completely destroy human medical common sense!

Xin Yunmao explained, "His original body is ginger, and all root monsters are like this. It's normal to have broken arms and legs. It's no big deal."

After being reminded by him, Chu Zhishui carefully looked at the fat yellow man and indeed found similar characteristics. He even faintly smelled the spicy ginger smell that was just covered by the rain.

"The God is really knowledgeable and erudite." The thin black man flattered.

"I interrupted you and another one ran away." Xin Yunmao glanced at the hole in the mud not far away and said casually, "Let Hu Chenrui and the others chase it. It's their business."

The white-bearded old man was nowhere to be seen. Where he had just stood, there was only a mud pit that looked like it was dug by a woodchuck.

"Your Majesty is right. This is not your business. We'll leave first..."

The dark-skinned man and the fat yellow man tiptoed away, but they were entangled by two demon chains before they took two steps. They fell backwards all the way back to where they were.

Xin Yunmao suddenly stretched out his hand and dragged the two demons back. He said indifferently, "Who said you can leave?"

The fat yellow man and the dark-skinned man were gagged by the chains and thrown aside to wait for interrogation in the bureau.

Chu Zhishui didn't have Director Hu's phone number. She didn't know who to contact for such matters. She could only contact Hong Ximing and Jin Yu. Hong Ximing was shocked to hear that the tea garden was attacked by monsters. He comforted Chu Zhishui with kind words and promised to contact the Observation Department and Director Hu as soon as possible, telling her not to be afraid and to let the bureau handle the follow-up.

Jin Yu felt even more guilty and said, "I should have gone with you today. I'll come over now..."

"It's okay. It's all over now. You must be too tired to make a special trip." Chu Zhishui thought that Jin Yu had gone out to do things during the day and was worried that he would be overloaded if he came now.

"Not tired, not tired, wait for me in the tea garden, I'll be there soon!"

Xin Yunmao sighed unhappily. He wanted to say that it was useless for Jin Yu to come along. He didn't believe that the fish could fight three at once. In the end, he still resisted the urge to speak.

After Chu Zhishui had been asked about her well-being by Hong Chu and Jin Yu, she had managed to calm down a little, but she was still in a trance and confused. She had not yet completely recovered from the shock and stood at the side of the tea garden in a daze.

Xin Yunmao saw that she was listless, like a flower branch wilted by the rain, and muttered, "You can only be honest now. What you say normally can make me angry to death."

Chu Zhishui was stunned: "Can monsters die too?"

"If they are not beaten to death, ordinary people will not die easily. If they succeed in becoming gods like me, they will not even have the chance to be broken up." Xin Yunmao explained slowly. He suddenly remembered something and warned unsatisfiedly, "But this is not a reason for you to be angry with me!"

Although Xin Yunmao flashed to the tea garden, he did not forget that the two sides were in a cold war.

"How can I be angry with you?" Chu Zhishui complained in a low voice, and seeing that he was still brooding about it, she quickly changed the subject, "How did you get here?"

Xin Yunmao's face warmed up a little when he heard it, and he pointed to her coat pocket with his hand: "You put your things well, and you even carry them with you."

Chu Zhishui subconsciously touched the pocket of her coat close to her heart, and touched the foreign object through the fabric. She suddenly remembered something and took the pendant out of it. The ink-blue pendant was a gift from him for the milk tea she had given her last time. She had put it in her coat pocket.

She had been hanging the coat in her office, and she would wear it when she went out in cold weather.

"Is this it?" Chu Zhishui rubbed the pendant with his fingertips.

"Hmm."

Chu Zhishui had an absurd guess in his mind, and asked, "Did you teleport from the office?"

He had also suddenly appeared in the vegetable patch last time, and with the magical cleaning spell, teleportation was not impossible.

"Every time I need a specific medium, it's not available everywhere." Xin Yunmao frowned and asked angrily, "Why didn't you call my name?"

"Huh?"

"You talk so much when you contradict me every day, but you don't call me by my name when you encounter trouble." A gleam of light flashed across his dark eyes, "If you called me at the beginning, I could get here faster."

Chu Zhishui was stunned by these words. She looked tangled and said dryly, "...Can I call you?"

"Why not? Didn't I promise you?"

His attitude was as matter-of-fact, a change from the awkwardness during the cold war, which made her a little overwhelmed.

Chu Zhishui touched the tip of her nose and responded softly, "Okay, thank you, next time..."

She was a little embarrassed, always feeling that something was wrong. She didn't often ask for help and always believed in solving problems independently, but the demonic energy was something she couldn't handle.

Xin Yunmao didn't notice her embarrassment, he continued happily: "Next time you should be smarter and call my name directly."

"..."

Chu Zhishui believed that she still had sequelae, her heartbeat began to speed up again, her chest was pounding, just like when she was attacked by a demon. If another demon said this, she might have responded politely, but Xin Yunmao always messed her up. He would get angry over trivial matters, but when she was really in danger, he would run thousands of miles to come here.

Thinking carefully, every time they interacted, it was a mess, tangled like a ball of yarn. Either he made her speechless, or she made him speechless.

Chu Zhishui lowered her eyelashes, and she coughed lightly to cover her face: "Although I am very grateful to you, I still need to correct it."

"Correct what?" Xin Yunmao looked at her calmly with his hands in his pockets.

Chu Zhishui raised her eyes and said, "When a subordinate confronts his superior, it's called contradicting him. When a superior confronts his subordinate, it's called guiding him. It's right that I guide you on your work attitude."

Xin Yunmao didn't get angry but laughed, "Are you trying to disobey your superior in various ways?"

Chu Zhishui said kindly, "Let's talk about reason. We agreed on the working hours. You acknowledge that I am your direct supervisor."

Xin Yunmao was depressed, "...So when does the working time end?"

"It's not today yet anyway." Chu Zhishui looked down at her phone, then she cheered up again after remembering her business. "I'll go check on the tea leaves!"

She chatted with him for a while, and she felt relaxed. She began to think about the work in the department with energy.

The tea-frying hut was peaceful. The tea farmers were hiding from the rain indoors and did not notice the changes in the tea fields. It is said that the evil spirit itself has the effect of confusing the senses. If Chu Zhishui had not been added to the list and had her eyes opened, she would not have been able to sense anything strange nearby.

After Jin Yu arrives, he can also use the memory bubble eraser to clean it up, and there will definitely not be any clues left.

Chu Zhishui went out alone, but came back with a strange young man, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Xin Yunmao didn't say a word when he saw a stranger. He followed her quietly, and his helpless temperament was eye-catching and made it impossible to ignore him.

Others asked curiously: "Hey, this person is..."

Chu Zhishui hurriedly introduced: "He is also from our bureau, a colleague in the same department."

"Oh oh oh, your bureau has a high appearance value, all handsome men and beautiful women!"

Chu Zhishui hurriedly smiled and said some polite words.

As Xin Yunmao scanned the room, he leaned over and asked hesitantly, "Who are these people?"

"They are here to help pick and fry tea. If we want to pick tea on a large scale in the future, we will probably have to hire more people. However, the bureau has too little start-up funds, so we will find a few people to make samples now." Chu Zhishui explained in a low voice, and then asked in doubt, "Why are you hiding behind me?"

Xin Yunmao followed her like a shadow, and it was obvious that he didn't want to deal with outsiders. It seemed that he not only rejected the monsters in the bureau, but also didn't want to get close to anyone.

He avoided the question and asked, "Hire more people?"

"Yes, the tea garden is not officially in season yet, and the amount of tea picked every day will increase later."

"Why don't you let the two at the door come to pick the tea? They are plant monsters and are very good at doing this." Xin Yunmao said casually, "After you finish picking the tea, let Hu Chenrui throw them into the demon fire and roast them for two to three hundred years. Then consider whether to grind them into ashes."

"Ginger can't be roasted and eaten, right?" Chu Zhishui was stunned by his cruel idea, "And roasting them after using them, doesn't it... "

"Anyway, if you are caught attacking a mortal, you will be burned at the stake. Plus, you are a human on the list, so the verdict is basically final." Xin Yunmao said lazily, "Otherwise, what do you think Hu Chenrui and his gang of monsters are doing?"

Chu Zhishui seemed to have realized something. The main function of the Huaijiang Observation Bureau is to deal with disputes between humans and monsters, and monsters. It is their unshirkable duty to punish and arrest dangerous monsters. The fat yellow man and the thin black man are not simply attacking humans. Maybe they are civil servants who attacked the monster world. It is normal to deal with them severely.

If the two monsters are regarded as prisoners sentenced to death with a reprieve, then picking tea is considered labor reform, which sounds quite reasonable.

Chu Zhishui sighed: "Finally, we found a way to reduce labor costs without blatantly violating the labor law."

Xin Yunmao: "?"

She had a subtle expression: "That is, don't use people to do the labor."

People can arbitrate labor, but monsters can't, let alone monsters who break the law.

Not long after, Jin Yu and Hong Ximing rushed over in a hurry, and surrounded Chu Zhishui to ask questions with great concern.

Jin Yu hugged Chu Zhishui and rubbed her hard. She was so scared that she was bubbling, and she said with regret: "Are you okay? I should have followed!"

"It's okay..." Chu Zhishui was suffocated by her huge hug, "Jin Yu, I can't breathe."

Jin Yu worriedly said: "Are you scared by the monster that attacked you!?"

"...No, you hugged too tightly."

Jin Yu quickly let go of Chu Zhishui, and she turned around like a puppy, carefully checking whether the other party was injured.

Hong Ximing comforted her softly, "Xiao Chu, don't be afraid. I have already notified Director Hu and Miao Lu. The bureau will take care of the follow-up."

Chu Zhishui said embarrassedly, "Sister Hong, thank you for making this trip..."

Hong Ximing's rank is higher than Chu Zhishui's, and her supervisor's job has nothing to do with these things. In fact, she can just notify Director Hu. Sister Hong had said enthusiastically before that she had something to talk to her about, and Chu Zhishui thought it was just a polite remark. Now she realized that she was serious.

"It doesn't matter. I was afraid that the observation department would be slow to arrive, so I decided to come with Jin Yu." Hong Ximing said, "Jin Yu, help me clean up the scene, and then you go back to your department first, and I'll stay here."

"This is not appropriate..." Chu Zhishui understood that staying would mean working overtime, and it was impossible to let the leader stay at the scene alone.

"It's suitable, very suitable!" Hong Ximing held Chu Zhishui's hand tightly and said solemnly, "Xiao Chu, please don't say anything angry, and don't always think about leaving."

"..."

The personnel officer in charge really did everything to keep people.

Chu Zhishui said hurriedly: "The main thing is that I have something to discuss with Director Hu."

"What is it? I'm not sure whether it will be Director Hu or Miao Lu, otherwise you can find Director Hu in the bureau tomorrow, or I can tell him for you."

Chu Zhishui explained the tea garden to Hong Ximing, hoping to let the fat yellow man and the thin black man pick tea to save the labor cost of selling tea in the bureau.

After listening to this, Hong Ximing glanced at Xin Yunmao, who was indifferent throughout the whole process, and immediately guessed that this was not Chu Zhishui's idea. The little human girl was not very familiar with the operation of the demon world. When she first came in, she had never seen the demon aura, let alone know how the bureau dealt with the demons that attacked humans.

Hong Ximing was quite surprised to see Xin Yunmao just now. Now that she thought about it carefully, she found it even more incredible.

"Sister Hong, Sister Hong, is this feasible?" Chu Zhishui found that the other party was absent-minded and called softly.

Hong Ximing smiled and said, "Yes, these are all small matters. Don't bother Director Hu. I will just tell Miao Lu tomorrow!"

Miao Lu is the director of the Observation Department, and is mainly responsible for catching demons.

Chu Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief. Things were simpler than she thought.

After Hong Ximing and Jin Yu cleaned up the traces at the scene, Hong Ximing stayed behind to look after the fat yellow man and the thin black man, and at the same time urged the Economic Development Division to return to the bureau and get off work early. Chu Zhishui couldn't refuse, and thanked Sister Hong again and again, and finally took the two monsters away.

Unexpectedly, the return trip was a problem.

Chu Zhishui only knew that Xin Yunmao teleported through the hanging pendant, but she didn't know how Jin Yu got here.

At the entrance of the tea garden, a familiar car was parked on the flat ground, and the rain water on the outside had dried up. Chu Zhishui opened the car door, and she was about to ask the two monsters to get in the car, but she found that Jin Yu and Xin Yunmao were confronting each other on the other side.

Jin Yu subconsciously opened the door of the co-pilot, but Xin Yunmao stood beside him with his hands on his chest. He looked at the scene coldly, and was so shocked that she didn't move, and then shuddered and took back her hand.

Chu Zhishui had driven Xin Yunmao and Jin Yu away from the bureau to do business before, and arranged for them to sit in the co-pilot seat. This was the first time they were riding in the same car at the same time. Thinking of the pettiness of a certain demon, she stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Jin Yu, you sit in the co-pilot seat."

Before Jin Yu could answer, Xin Yunmao sneered, "On

what grounds?" Chu Zhishui was confused, "What on what grounds?"

Xin Yunmao: "Why does she sit in the front and I have to sit in the back?"

"You are picky, the back seat is for VIPs." Chu Zhishui said in a good-tempered manner, "Why don't you both sit in the back?"

Chu Zhishui was initially worried that it would be awkward for the two demons to sit in the back seat. In fact, she didn't care much about the seats in the car, and it didn't matter whether she was regarded as the driver or not.

Jin Yu was so frightened when she heard this that she dared not breathe. She shook her head like a wave drum and waved her hands frantically to refuse: "No, no, no..."

Xin Yunmao was also unhappy and mocked with a smile: "You found that you couldn't fool people and changed your story?"

"What did I fool?" Chu Zhishui didn't know why he was looking for trouble, and said impatiently, "I never lied to people, go check it yourself."

He was skeptical and said coldly: "You never lied to people, but I'm not a human being, how can I know."

"Come on, come on, look for yourself, is the VIP seat in the back?" Chu Zhishui simply searched common sense on her mobile phone, handed the screen in front of him to prove her innocence, and retorted, "It also said that the co-pilot would be more dangerous. Are you satisfied now, young master?"

Xin Yunmao was obviously not satisfied yet. He raised his eyebrows slowly and said in a sarcastic tone, "If it is easy to encounter danger, shouldn't she sit in the back? Do you think she can be better than me when in danger?"

"Why do you bring this up again?" Chu Zhishui was both angry and amused. She began to massage his temples, thinking of suggesting that he go to the construction site to lift bars, which is much more promising than staying in the Economic Development Department.

"Oh, after all, you have a criminal record."

"..."

Jin Yu was frightened into silence by the tense scene. She didn't understand why the two sides had a conflict not long ago, but today she saw the live version. She couldn't describe her feelings well. The tone of both sides sounded like a quarrel, but it seemed a little different?

Jin Yu decided to be a dead fish on the beach at this moment, hoping that the war would not affect innocent herself.

Chu Zhishui took a deep breath and numbly prepared herself mentally. She thought that he was her life-saving demon today, so she could tolerate some bad habits. She should be tolerant and grateful, and should not be angry with a childish and cold-war monster.

He was still suitable for the mute mode, but unfortunately he couldn't make a wish again.

"Okay, I shouldn't bother with you, let's just start over." Chu Zhishui gave in, "Jin Yu, you sit in the back."

"Okay!" Jin Yu had no objection, she opened the back door in a second, as if she had been waiting for this for a long time. Xin Yunmao then showed a satisfied look and slowly opened the passenger

door.
