Perhaps sensing her expression, Hu Chenrui added: "Xiao Chu, you may not know much about the situation in the bureau. We have always had a good relationship with the Yinhai Bureau. In recent years, the bureau's operating expenses have been inseparable from their help. Director Ye often talks to me about management. He also made plans for the Economic Development Division. They have a lot of income from various sources, and they are still quite well-off."

Chu Zhishui nodded: "Indeed, I heard that the performance of the employees of the Yinhai Bureau is good."

"Oh, it's because of the good location. They are really not as good as us in terms of business..." Hu Chenrui said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about it!"

Chu Zhishui seemed to understand. Although Hu Chenrui said that the two bureaus had a good relationship and had received support from the other party, it must have been exchanged for a smile. It is estimated that he was squeezed by Director Ye a lot in the past, and now he still has a little resentment in his heart. No wonder he offered a ruthless price.

Director Hu and Director Ye are on the same level, but Huaijiang City is much less developed than Yinhai City, so the income of other parties cannot compete. This is the same as Chu Zhishui's salary being cut when he returned to Huaijiang City. Even if Director Hu and other monsters are stronger than Yinhai Bureau, they are still naturally weak in terms of making money.

Chu Zhishui figured out the key points and said, "Okay, how about I take a look at the quality of the tea and study how to set the price? Or you can tell us a price range and we can go back and figure it out."

If Hu Chenrui knew about the financial situation of Yinhai Bureau, she could figure out the bottom line of the price offered by Ye Bureau and other monsters.

"Okay, okay, let's discuss it now and don't go back to discuss it!"

Hu Chenrui took out the clean tea set from under the tea table, boiled water directly to prepare tea, and opened the tea can. Chu Zhishui reached out to help, but was politely rejected by Hu Bureau, who was obviously much more skilled in making tea.

As the hot water poured, white smoke curled up, and the curled tea leaves stretched out their bodies, turning into a pot of clear and mellow tea.

Hu Chenrui's nose twitched slightly, he suddenly straightened his back, stopped making tea, and said in surprise: "How do you make your tea?" "

Xin Yunmao used demonic energy to irrigate the tea garden. It is said that tea grown in this way will have a nourishing effect on monsters." Chu Zhishui said honestly, "But I don't know if it's true."

As a human, she is extremely insensitive to demonic energy. She can only taste that green tea tastes good, but she won't be as amazing as monsters.

"You keep calling him by his name like this?" Hu Chenrui hesitated, frowning and said, "No, he did it, how could he agree to it?"

Chu Zhishui said doubtfully, "It's okay, it's a job assigned by the department, why would he be unwilling?" Hu

Chenrui looked at her strangely, and seeing that she didn't care at all, he immediately respected her and said from the bottom of his heart, "Xiao Chu, you are really a talent for managing a team. The bureau didn't hire the wrong person at the beginning."

It can be said that newborn humans are not afraid of monsters, and they dare to think and be the first.

"You're flattered."

"Then it's no problem to offer a high price, the value is very different."

Not long after, the man and the monster negotiated the price.

Hu Chenrui really offered a sky-high price. Chu Zhishui calculated in his mind that after deducting costs and tax deductions, he was about to achieve his small goal, with a profit of nearly one million. If all the money is distributed as bonuses at the end of the year and spread out over every month of the year, the average monthly salary will be 5,000 yuan.

Of course, she can also save some funds for new product development and try to make something famous in the remaining days of this year.

Hu Chenrui praised Chu Zhishui's ability to make money: "Xiao Chu, if we had hired you twenty years earlier, the accounts in our bureau would have looked much better!"

Chu Zhishui: "Director Hu, twenty years ago I was still in a kindergarten, and it was illegal to employ child laborers."

"That's true." Hu Chenrui nodded warmly, "It's okay, the bureau will consider you more in the next few decades. After all, our time is not as tight as yours. We will retire in our fifties or sixties."

"...Thank you for your consideration."

After the two sides discussed the price, Hu Chenrui repeatedly confirmed that Xin Yunmao was willing to mass produce for a long time. Only then did he feel completely relieved and chatted with Chu Zhishui about recent developments.

"Have you adapted recently? If you have any questions, tell me. If you can't contact me, you can contact Xi Ming."

"Everything is fine at the moment." Chu Zhishui answered, and then she suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, do you know what Xin Yunmao's true identity is?"

Hu Chenrui smiled bitterly, "You call him by his name, why don't you ask him?"

"I asked him, but he didn't tell me."

Chu Zhishui wanted to find out more, but she didn't want to ask Xin Yunmao, as it would seem that she cared too much about him. She would never give him the opportunity to be narcissistic, so she simply took a detour and asked Director Hu to avoid being teased again.

"Xiao Chu, you may not know one thing. The names of monsters are different from those of people. They all have special powers." Hu Chenrui said tactfully, "So when you call out his name, it may not be convenient to tell you today."

Chu Zhishui paused: "Inconvenient means..."

Hu Chenrui smiled and said, "Calling him by his name is like calling the other person's phone number. Our conversation may be heard by him. He doesn't want to tell you, but I'm interfering. It's really not polite."

Of course, what Director Hu didn't mention is that most monsters would not be bored to listen. This move is really a waste of time and effort.

Chu Zhishui: "..."

No wonder they never called Xin Yunmao's name. How could there be such an embarrassing setting! ?

She was afraid that he would be proud of asking privately. Now it seems more like a guilty conscience, trying to cover up. It is estimated that he has already had a lot of fun in the office.

Hu Chenrui noticed that her face was not right, he hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, don't be psychologically stressed, maybe you didn't hear it."

Chu Zhishui felt even more suffocated, and said weakly: "This is Murphy's Law."

In life, you always fear something, but it will happen.

Chu Zhishui returned from the director's office. She stood at the door of the Economic Development Section, but did not step in immediately. She seemed to glance around casually.

Jin Yu was not in the room. It seemed that she went to the Logistics Section to move things. Only Xin Yunmao lay on the table with his eyes closed to rest. His crow-like eyelashes drooped quietly. I don't know if he was tired after watering the tea garden and indulged in a soft dream.

Chu Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief, carefully opened the door, and tiptoed back, not daring to be careless at all. Just when she thought she was lucky, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her, and her heart skipped a beat.

Xin Yunmao stretched slowly, and gently opened his eyelids. Seeing Chu Zhishui's stiff back, he simply tilted his head to admire her, staring at her motionlessly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Chu Zhishui pretended to be calm: "Did I wake you up?"

Xin Yunmao said nothing.

She continued to comfort him: "Go back to sleep."

It's best to fall asleep completely and not mention anything.

But what is coming will come.

"You want to understand me so much?" His tone was drowsy, but he obviously heard the conversation, and he said lightly, "Don't you know that my original self is afraid that I will be angry, so he secretly asks other people?"

Chu Zhishui's shame surged in an instant: "You misunderstood."

"Did I misunderstand again?" Xin Yunmao smiled meaningfully, "You have so many misunderstandings, twice a day."

Chu Zhishui frowned and said desperately: "It just so happens that there are so many misunderstandings today."

"Do you still need to ask Hu Chenrui about this? If you are really curious, as long as you promise to serve me well, I can be merciful and tell you."

"..."

Shame! What a great shame!

If she is curious about him again in the future, she will be a dog.

Chu Zhishui wanted to quickly get rid of the embarrassment and quickly changed the subject: "Won't he hear you mentioning Director Hu's name?"

"He can't hear it." Xin Yunmao said firmly.

"Why? Isn't it said that names have power and people will hear it when you mention it?" Chu Zhishui was suspicious, "Wait, did you hear it last time too? But I didn't mention the name that time."

She once complained to Jin Yu about the childish cold war, but she didn't say Xin Yunmao's real name that time, but he still heard it somehow.

Xin Yunmao choked: "...did it?"

"How could it not be? I didn't say your name that time, but you still heard it, and even made fun of my kindergarten." Chu Zhishui was confused, "What is the rule for you to call each other by name? Why can't I understand?"

"You remembered it wrong." Xin Yunmao's eyes flickered, and he felt awkward for some reason. His tone was hard, "And I'm different."

"I just asked you two questions, why are you so impatient." Chu Zhishui raised his eyebrows, "You can hear it without the name, just like nourishing plants, is it also your unique skill?"

"I guess so." He lowered his eyes, "...I'm not impatient."

Chu Zhishui didn't doubt him, just thought that the other party was gifted, and was surprised that he didn't show off for too long this time.

Seeing that she stopped asking questions, Xin Yunmao's tense expression finally relaxed.

How could this be his unique skill? He couldn't be too curious about her. He paid too much attention to her during that period. Even without mentioning her real name, he would pay special attention to her description of himself.

The names of monsters are powerful. They can indeed hear other people's discussions, but they basically don't care or pay attention. Otherwise, they would be exhausted to death if they were online all day. Generally speaking, if praying to gods and Buddhas is effective once, it is considered conscientious. No one will respond to believers all the time.

Xin Yunmao felt that it was too embarrassing for her to know about this. He did not have the dignity of a god, so he naturally did not want to talk about it.

The total amount of Guanju brand green tea was not large. As an internal sales product, it was sold to the Silver Sea Observation Bureau at a high price. After the Economic Development Department checked the process with the other party, it quickly signed the order and received the first batch of deposits. Next, as long as the deposit is used to continue production and all green tea orders are completed, the full payment can be received.

The mobilization of funds requires approval from the Finance Department. Chu Zhishui had heard Jin Yu talk about its efficiency and specially prepared the application form in advance.

The Finance Department and the Observation Department are located on the second floor of the office building. Compared with the quietness of other floors, the corridor on the second floor is noisy.

As soon as Chu Zhishui stepped into the second floor, he saw people shuttling in the narrow corridor. They were all humanoid monsters covered by dark evil spirits. They all had unclear faces and left several dark afterimages when they moved, like apostles of the underworld who came and went without a trace.

Black cloak, silver buckle in the shape of eyes on the chest, and the never-disappearing gloomy evil spirit, these are the characteristics of the staff of the Observation Department.

Although Chu Zhishui had been assigned to the Science and Observation Bureau, she still felt uncomfortable on her first visit to the second floor. It was like passing through the underworld, and even the temperature was low. Jin Yu and Xin Yunmao were usually no different from other people, and they would not even release evil spirits at will, which sometimes almost made her forget the special working environment.

To go to the Finance Office, one must pass through the Observation Office. The door of the Observation Office was closed at this time, but there were strange noises coming from it, mixed with faint screams, and soon it was completely silent.

Chu Zhishui pretended not to hear it, and quickened her pace, wanting to rush through the Observation Office in one breath, but the door of the house happened to open. What greeted them was a group of black-clothed monsters. They came out of the observation office, and the demonic aura lingering around them obscured their faces and was surrounded by a vague and gloomy mist.

"It's so annoying. That ginseng monster is good at escaping underground, and it can't be used in the mountains."

"The deadline set by Director Hu is coming soon. What should we do now?"

"Director Miao, are you listening?"

Chu Zhishui passed by them and vaguely heard the conversation in the black mist. She walked straight to the Finance Office next door without noticing the sight on the side. It was not

until the door of the Finance Office was gently closed that the leading black-cloaked monster turned around and said, "I'm listening. Search from the east and force him out of the mountain."

The corridor on the second floor was full of dark shadows, but the Finance Office was quite normal, just like an ordinary office.

The female monsters in the house were typing on the keyboard and complaining: "The room next door is too noisy, why does our office have to be next to theirs?"

"Don't mention it, their compensation exceeded the standard last month, and this bill has never looked good."

"Transfer from the cafeteria?"

"Transfer? Old Niu will be angry, right?"

"Hello, is Director He here?"

The chatting female monsters were stunned when they heard the words. They looked up and saw Chu Zhishui, and quickly put away their complaints, and pointed in a hurry: "Director He is in the small room inside..."

"Thank you." Chu Zhishui walked inside with the report.

"Is it a human? It seems like a human?"

"Someone actually entered the bureau this year!?"

Chu Zhishui heard the whispers behind her, so she simply stopped and turned around, saying in a friendly manner: "I'm sorry, I forgot to say hello just now. I'm Chu Zhishui from the Economic Development Department. I just entered the bureau not long ago. I am indeed a human."

The two monsters didn't expect her to stop when they heard it, and their faces suddenly turned red.

"I'm sorry, we don't mean any harm, we are just too surprised, we didn't expect someone to be willing to come, we are really upset..." They waved their hands frantically, "No, that's not right!"

Chu Zhishui: "It's okay, I've actually gotten over it, it's just that the salary is a little low."

"Then you are amazing, I have been in the bureau for more than a hundred years, and I still can't get over the low salary."

"..."

After Chu Zhishui got to know the girls from the finance department, she went to the innermost room to look for He Shougui, the director of the finance department.

The witches said that their director was hard of hearing and confused, but Chu Zhishui didn't take it seriously. When she actually met Director He, she realized that it was really not possible for monsters not to retire according to the age of the labor law.

He Shougui is a hunchbacked, skinny old man. He huddles alone in a small room, staring blankly at the screen and typing slowly on the keyboard. The scene is like a still painting.

Chu Zhishui handed over the report politely: "Director He, I'm Chu Zhishui from the Economic Development Section. I'd like to trouble you to approve a sum of money. This is a bill signed by Director Hu."

He Shougui turned around slowly: "What bill?"

Chu Zhishui explained: "The research and development funds of the Economic Development Section. We have an order with the Yinhai Bureau. We need to advance a sum of money for production."

He Shougui was confused: "What section?"

Chu Zhishui said patiently: "Economic Development Section, Director Hu should have informed you..."

He Shougui was stunned: "What bureau?" "

...Director Hu, Director Hu Chenrui."

"What Hu?"

"..."

No wonder Jin Yu said that the Finance Department was inefficient. It turns out that every time they use the "Ma whatmei? What Dongmei? Ma Dong what?" trick!

Seeing that she remained silent, He Shougui shook his head and said blankly, "I'm old and my memory is not good."

Chu Zhishui held his forehead and said, "...Forget it, please help me check a remittance from the Yinhai Bureau. They said that the deposit was transferred to the company account recently."

This time he heard it clearly. He Shougui checked without saying a word. He saw the huge number on the screen, turned around tremblingly, looked at her in disbelief, and confirmed again, "... Remittance from the Yinhai Bureau?"

"Yes, please help me check if it has arrived. The first payment should have been transferred two days ago." Chu Zhishui asked doubtfully, "Hasn't it arrived?"

"Here we are—" He Shougui's lifeless eyes sparkled with light, and even his keyboard movements became swift and powerful. He asked eagerly, "What order did Section Chief Chu just approve?"

"...An order to apply for production funds."

He Shougui stopped procrastinating and started to work quickly.

Because Chu Zhishui said that the final payment would be paid after production and delivery, he wanted to make sparks fly on the keyboard, for fear of delaying the economic development department's money-making business. Chu Zhishui

completed the formalities, and she walked out in a fog, not understanding the Sichuan Opera's face-changing of Section He.

When the staff of the Observation Department outside the house saw her go out, he immediately knocked on the door with the report form and went in, and also went into the small room where He Shougui was waiting.

Not long after, the voices of the two demons' conversation floated out and reached Chu Zhishui's ears.

"Director He, this is the compensation bill from the mountain yesterday..."

"What mountain?"

"Not a mountain, but the compensation bill. Director Miao asked me to bring it to you."

"What department?" "

Director Miao, and the compensation bill——"

"What Miao?"

"Not Miao, the compensation bill... Why do you have to work so hard every time?"

Chu Zhishui stood at the door. After hearing the familiar words, she suddenly understood something.

After a while, the female demons in the Finance Department saw Chu Zhishui coming back and said casually, "He, are you still confused today?"

"Your director is not confused, he just needs to recharge." Chu Zhishui thought for a few seconds, "It's just like downloading software. It's usually very slow, but once you activate the membership, the speed will be very fast."
