Chu Zhishui was looking at him coldly, so she stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "Wait a moment."

Xin Yunmao raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait for what?"

"Wait for me to think about how to make it up." Chu Zhishui felt a headache and held her forehead with her hand, "I'm making it up, I'm making it up, don't be impatient."

Xin Yunmao: "???"

"Just kidding, there is no such thing as a green tea demon, whether there is a demon or not, you know better than me." Chu Zhishui laughed and said, "Why did you come here? Aren't you cold standing outside?"

Xin Yunmao was wearing a light gray long-sleeved shirt, like light ink smudged on rice paper, and looked like white clothes from a distance, but the stain could only be seen when you looked closely. He has been wearing light colors recently, which seem to be coated with a layer of clearness at night, and look elegant and refined.

Chu Zhishui really didn't expect him to be outside, and she felt inexplicably bad. On the one hand, it might be a little chilly in the windy night, but she thought that bamboo was a friend of winter, so she probably wouldn't feel the temperature drop too much. On the other hand, it was boring to just stand there, and she didn't know how long he had been there, why he didn't use the pendant to teleport, or come in directly to find her.

Maybe he thought it was inappropriate to show up in front of her friends.

Thinking about it carefully, the bamboo demon always boasted about his noble character, but he did have a sense of propriety in doing things. Except for his occasional rude words, he had never really done anything beyond the rules.

He was even conservative to the point of exaggeration. She just saw him changing clothes, but he accused her of taking advantage of him.

"Why aren't you going home so late?" Xin Yunmao frowned slightly. He turned his back and made a gesture to leave, muttering, "What time is it now? You can call me when you encounter trouble. It's better for me to do it myself."

His tone was a little unhappy, a little complaining, and seemed a little worried.

Chu Zhishui didn't know what kind of trouble she could encounter in the big city. She was scolded by him and whispered back, "The public security in Yinhai is pretty good."

Xin Yunmao crossed his arms with disdain: "Humph, that's what you humans think. Who knows if you will encounter gods and ghosts."

"Encounter a ghost? What ghost?" Chu Zhishui widened her eyes, "There are ghosts in the world?"

She was indeed used to monsters, but she couldn't accept encountering a ghost. She immediately felt a chill on her back.

Seeing her face change slightly, Xin Yunmao said nonchalantly, "Why not?"

"There are only monsters." Chu Zhishui was skeptical, "Where is the ghost?"

"Here." Xin Yunmao stretched out a cold white finger and pointed at Chu Zhishui in front of him. He softened his tone and said mockingly, "Drunkard."

He had already smelled the alcohol on her body, which was soaked with wisps of fruity fragrance. It was not an unpleasant smell, but a kind of fermented sweetness. As long as she opened her mouth to speak, she would exhale lightly, lightly, and sweetly.

Rum, pomegranate syrup, and perhaps the fragrance of lemon made her face flushed and red.

He saw it clearly under the light.

Her hair was a little messy now, but she was in high spirits. Even her eyes sparkled in the night, and she looked radiant.

Chu Zhishui touched her hot cheeks, but the alcohol had not completely worn off. She said helplessly, "Because I haven't seen my friends for a long time, I just drank a little. The alcohol content was not high."

Cocktails were all sweet. She and Wang Yiwen were curious, so they tried them casually and drank too much without realizing it.

"Well, and then we talked until two or three in the morning." Xin Yunmao said in a weird tone, "I don't see you talk so much normally."

Chu Zhishui defended herself, "Then we talked about our previous work. If I talk to you about these things normally, you will be annoyed and may not understand."

It was indeed strange that she talked about her previous company with the monsters.

Xin Yunmao seemed to have been stepped on the sore spot, and said unhappily: "You know I don't understand again?"

"..."

She shouldn't have provoked the King of Understanding casually, and a new round of war began.

"Want some candy?" Chu Zhishui laughed dryly. She subconsciously fumbled in her pocket and grabbed a handful of lollipops from the bar, trying to change the topic with sweets, "Let's talk about something else."

However, Director Hu's corn was useful to Director Ye, but her lollipop seemed to be useless to Xin Yunmao.

Xin Yunmao was very unhappy after being told that he didn't understand. He turned his head away in silence, and was unwilling to take the candy, and obviously began to lose his temper.

"Okay, okay, if you understand, I'll talk to you." Chu Zhishui had no choice but to surrender and said in a good-tempered manner, "It's just some trivial matters in the previous company. She was my former colleague, or a team subordinate, similar to the Economic Development Department of the Bureau."

Xin Yunmao: "She is the same as that fish."

"Yes, and then I had a quarrel with another person in the company. Due to the difference in work philosophy, I left the company and returned to Huaijiang."

Chu Zhishui originally wanted to comfort Xin Yunmao before she said this, but she revealed her true feelings at this time: "Today, I heard her talk about the company's recent situation, and I felt a little emotional. I don't know what's wrong with this world. The more people like to do crooked things, the more they earn and the better they get. I don't know what God thinks."

She would not reveal these in front of Wang Yiwen. This would cause unnecessary reactions from her friends, but Xin Yunmao was far away from human life, so it didn't matter if she told him.

There is a thing called a tree cave, and bamboo caves might be similar. Anyway, they will not be spread out.

Xin Yunmao was stunned. He listened quietly, as if thinking about something.

Chu Zhishui laughed: "In fact, I owned half of this company in the beginning, but I admit that I can't make as much money as that person. Maybe it's really like what they said, I'm just a fake gentleman, always putting on airs."

She has never done anything shameful in Longzhi Video, but there are still people who talk about her in private, saying that sooner or later her true colors will be exposed.

There is no perfect person in the world. People will think that perfect people are too fake and can always find flaws.

Xin Yunmao asked suddenly: "Do you regret it?"

"Regret?" Chu Zhishui said, "That

's not the case." "Then you are unwilling?" He looked calm, blinked, and said slowly, "The despicable villain stole the fruit, but lived a prosperous life. You think this is unfair."

Chu Zhishui was originally tearing candy wrappers. When she heard this, her throat was slightly bitter and she suddenly couldn't speak.

"Then you can make a wish to me. It's not a difficult thing to do." Xin Yunmao pursed his lips. "As long as you make a wish to me, everything will be back on track. He will disappear with his greed, and the wealth he has taken from others will also disappear immediately, along with the half of the company that belongs to you that he stole."

His eyes were dark, like a bottomless cold pool. No one knew how many secrets were at the bottom of the pool. When he helped Boss Peng to conclude the agreement, the flames from his fingertips were blue-black. The blue color was the bamboo leaf green, but he didn't know what the black color represented.

If she thought his wish was a joke the first time, then after she saw what happened with Boss Peng and the ginseng monster, she clearly realized that he was indeed capable of doing it.

They called him the Lord of God. Ordinary monsters had limited talents, but he could make anything happen.

Xin Yunmao's appearance was as handsome as when they first met, but his demeanor was much softer than then. He looked at her motionlessly and whispered, "Make a wish to me, and everything will come true. Good and evil will be rewarded."

This was a completely coaxing attitude.

But she couldn't be happy.

Xin Yunmao waited for her answer expectantly, but unexpectedly felt his lips poked by a foreign object. He subconsciously opened his mouth and tasted a hint of the sweetness of glucose. She tapped his lips with a peeled lollipop.

Xin Yunmao bit the lollipop and looked at her in confusion.

"Don't say such terrible things, or I'll slap you in the mouth." Chu Zhishui said unhappily, "This is not a novel, is it really Tianliang Wangpo? You think it's just a random company that is ruined, but in fact, countless innocent people are forced to lose their jobs."

Xin Yunmao held the candy in one hand, and then he had the opportunity to speak, correcting his words: "Then only he has to be unlucky."

Chu Zhishui frowned: "You haven't even met this person, so you can easily decide his fate?"

Xin Yunmao said expressionlessly: "I didn't decide his fate, I used the things he released to create cause and effect."

"Okay, thank you for being angry on my behalf, but that's the way the world is." Chu Zhishui sighed and spread her hands openly, "When people are lucky, they seldom think about why they are lucky, but when they are unlucky, they always think they are the most pitiful in the world. This is really too hypocritical and we can't always be like this."

"I came from a small city, and I achieved success in my first business venture. I am already luckier than many of my peers. Do you know how many Yinhai University graduates may not be able to succeed in starting a business in their lifetime?"

Chu Zhishui said generously, "You should be content. Even if you suffer some setbacks later, your luck has been off the charts. God has treated me well, and you don't need to make any more wishes."

She does think that the current situation is not fair enough, but is the fairness in her mind the real fairness?

Because she knew Xin Yunmao, she could make a wish to him, but what about other people who can't see monsters in their lives?

Her academic performance depends on herself, her graduation income depends on herself, and her destiny still depends on herself. She has lived like this until now.

If she has to rely on others, it will not be the same.

Chu Zhishui confessed: "You are right, I admit that I am unwilling, I am indeed unconvinced. But I hate that person, which does not mean that I deny everything related to him, nor does it mean that I hope the company will be completely destroyed. After all, it is my hard work, and there are many of my former colleagues there."

Longzhi Video is at least an important stage in her life. Even if the ending is not perfect, without that experience, there will be no her now. It is also unfair to deny everything about that period because she met a bad person. At least she also met friends like Wang Yiwen.

"But maybe it's the bad nature of human beings. I hope they live well, but I also hope they don't live too well, otherwise I will feel like a fool. This should be my malicious jealousy?" She tilted her head to think for a moment, then looked at Xin Yunmao and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I admit that I don't look so upright, maybe I'm really a hypocrite."

She can figure everything out, but when she really sees a villain succeed, she still feels a little uncomfortable. In the final analysis, she is still a mortal.

Everyone understands the big principles, but when things happen to themselves, the feelings in their hearts are always different.

The starry sky at night was quiet and silent, just like her aura, which was never tainted by the five poisons and eight sufferings, and softened after a brief fluctuation.

No matter how many times he saw it, he would be amazed. It turned out that humans had no demonic energy and did not understand the law, but could still achieve this level. It was different from many people he had seen, and even different from many demons he had seen.

Xin Yunmao said seriously: "This is not a flaw. You are already perfect among humans."

Chu Zhishui heard his serious tone. She was suddenly highly praised. She looked at him unexpectedly and felt a little embarrassed for some reason. This praise was a bit exaggerated, but listening to his convincing words, it seemed that he really thought so.

Chu Zhishui touched her face awkwardly and said hesitantly: "Thank you?"

Xin Yunmao smiled and nodded proudly: "After all, she is my believer, so it is normal for her to be so excellent."

His vision is too good, so he chooses different believers.

Chu Zhishui: "?"

After hearing this, she quickly returned to normal and said calmly: "What does this have to do with you?"

What does her excellence have to do with the shameless bamboo in front of her! How can she praise others and even praise herself in a roundabout way!

"Let's go, go back to Huaijiang tomorrow, work hard and earn good results." Chu Zhishui raised her eyebrows, and walked into the bureau. With the help of the alcohol, she put her hands on her hips and said, "What if I don't make a lot of money? I am poor but I am ambitious. I have made money cleanly and never hurt anyone. I feel at ease with this kind of money!"

Xin Yunmao listened to her vigorous and vigorous words, and he was also infected by the indescribable happiness. He felt like waiting for the sunrise in the dark night, and always felt that every day in the future would be better than today. It is the sprouting of seeds in spring, the lingering breeze in summer, the harvested fruits in autumn, the red plum blossoms in winter, the four seasons, the starry sky, the sea, and the boundless and fresh vitality.

He used to scoff at the saying "man is the spirit of all things", but he had to admit that he was attracted by the person in front of him and wanted to continue watching.

He walked beside her and opened his palm to her: "I want another candy."

"You haven't finished eating yet?" Chu Zhishui asked suspiciously. She grabbed something in her pocket and handed it to him, "All for you."

Xin Yunmao took the candy. He unwrapped one of the candies and suddenly put the candy to her mouth, touching it lightly.

Chu Zhishui was surprised: "What are you doing?"

Xin Yunmao complained: "You just hit me in the mouth with candy."

"You are so petty." Chu Zhishui glanced at him speechlessly and took the candy from his hand.

Xin Yunmao was satisfied.

On the street, a young man in leather clothes was sitting in a car. He looked generous but not good-looking. He relied on elite dressing to improve his appearance. He looked at the man and the demon under the light in disbelief, and couldn't help rubbing his eyes, fearing that he was dizzy from staying up all night.

The driver in the front seat asked, "Mr. Li, what's wrong?"

Li Longke suddenly stopped the car, leaving the driver at a loss.

Li Longke came to his senses and said, "Nothing, let's go."

He must have seen it wrong.

The car restarted and took Li Longke away.

If there was anyone that Li Longke really hated, then Chu Zhishui would definitely be in the top three. It was her own moral requirement not to commit crimes. If she really wanted to use some dirty tricks, Li Longke would have been finished long ago.

He knew that asking her to leave the company was a landmine, but he couldn't resist the temptation of money. If he really followed her ideas, the money wouldn't be returned fast enough.

Yinhai City is so big, it can't be such a coincidence. It shouldn't be her. Besides, isn't she going back to Huaijiang?

Don't do shameful things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. To be honest, Li Longke has never been afraid of ghosts. He is a little afraid of Chu Zhishui. Tonight is no less than seeing a ghost.

Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao walked back to the guesthouse. The excitement she had after drinking had faded, and she was gradually becoming sleepy. She wanted to fall on the soft mattress as soon as possible and have a good sleep.

Xin Yunmao saw that she didn't say a word. She had just returned to the guesthouse and wanted to close the door and go to sleep directly, without even looking at him.

He immediately said unhappily: "You forgot something."

Chu Zhishui was surprised: "What did you forget?"

Xin Yunmao was silent for a few seconds. He reminded her with some resentment: "You forgot to say something."

"Ah?" Chu Zhishui was even more confused. She thought about it for a while, and then she suddenly said, "Good night?"

Xin Yunmao was satisfied: "Good night."

"Good night, good night." Chu Zhishui was troubled by him, and said shyly, "Hurry up and go to bed, otherwise you will have to say good morning!"

A good night's dream.

After waking up again, Chu Zhishui's business trip to the Yinhai Bureau was about to end. Du Zigui made an appointment with her to send them to the airport in the afternoon. Chu Zhishui would of course take a plane back to Huaijiang. After she successfully boarded the plane, Xin Yunmao would go back directly, and maybe he would be faster than her.

A man and a demon have been going in and out together recently, and they are doing whatever they want in the Yinhai Bureau, leaving Ye Huayu speechless. He originally wanted to talk to Chu Zhishui in private, but he couldn't find the opportunity at all. Finally, he caught her alone on the last day to settle the Green Tea Account.

At the door of the office, Ye Huayu waved to Chu Zhishui: "Xiao Chu, I want to talk to you."

"Okay, Director Ye." Chu Zhishui walked over with a puzzled look on her face. She hasn't seen Director Ye much recently. Since Xin Yunmao appeared, Director Ye's whereabouts have become a mystery and have not been revealed.

Once the door of the director's office was closed, only Chu Zhishui and Ye Huayu were left in the room.

Ye Huayu was still dressed in a flamboyant manner, but she was not as exaggerated as she was at the beginning. He showed his entanglement and said hesitantly: "Xiao Chu, let's forget it this time, but I still want to tell you, you can't let him come to Yinhai in the future."

"Who does he mean?" Chu Zhishui was stunned, "You said not to let him come..."

Before she even said the first word "Xin", Ye Huayu was already scared out of his wits. He waved his hand in panic to stop her: "No, no, no, don't shout out his full name, don't you know our rules?"

"I know." Chu Zhishui said, "Director Hu said that he will hear it if you shout out his full name."

Ye Huayu was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped: "Then you still dare to shout it!?"

"It's not a big deal if he hears it." Chu Zhishui didn't understand Ye Huayu's timid and frightened state. She often quarreled with Xin Yunmao directly, and Director Miao also teased each other before, but the bamboo demon didn't react excessively.

"What did Lao Hu tell you?" Ye Huayu said in a panic, "Didn't you receive any on-the-job training?"

Chu Zhishui said calmly, "My on-the-job training has nothing to do with this."

She was in the Economic Development Division, not in the Observation Department, so she naturally didn't need to know about monsters.

"Well, Lao Hu is not responsible, so I'll tell you." Ye Huayu glared and said patiently, "You should know that our Observation Department mainly deals with disputes between humans and monsters, and monsters, and maintains the current peaceful and stable state."

"I know."

"The monsters that can enter the Observation Bureau are different from the monsters outside. The uniform of the Observation Bureau is called the Monster-Suppressing Robe, which means that under certain circumstances, we have to fight with other monsters." Ye Huayu's face darkened, and he whispered, "He is not a monster from the Observation Bureau, and he once started a huge war in the monster world. At that time, the world was turned upside down and the sun and moon lost their light."

Chu Zhishui's eyes were confused: "Him?"

Xin Yunmao could actually provoke a war. This was like a three-year-old child trying to rule the earth. She didn't feel nervous now, but could only taste a hint of funnyness, suspecting that she was on the scene of a comedy show.

"Yes, although he was not the instigator of the war, the deified monsters were all powerful. He and another one fought and caused a disaster. This incident not only killed the monsters, but also many innocent humans. The other one was quite famous among the mortals at that time."

This is a long-ago story.

The Dragon God was the first deified monster in the world. Since his birth, he has followed the guidance of heaven and earth and treated all spiritual creatures in the world kindly. He gathered many monsters and provided various guidance for humans, instructing them to grow food and build river embankments. From time to time, he would bestow blessings and was highly respected by the people at that time.

From one day on, the Dragon God slowly changed. His personality became more and more irritable, and he would occasionally show anger, but generally he was still doing good things for humans and monsters until the second deified monster was born in the world.

No one knows what the conflict between the two gods is, but this battle left both sides hurt. The Dragon God also sent many people and monsters to encircle and suppress the second god, but in the end there was no result, and the Dragon God's followers were stained with anger and blood.

In the end, the second god and other monsters tore the Dragon God into four parts and buried them in Huaijiang, Yinhai, Qiwu and Kongsang respectively. This is the prototype of the current four major observation bureaus.

The souls of the Conferred God monsters are not easy to dissipate, and even with the demon fire, it is difficult to completely erase them. The only way is to suppress the observation office from above to prevent the Dragon God from reappearing in the human world to do evil.

Xin Yunmao is the second god. He has a short-term alliance with other monsters, but he is not the same as them in essence, and they are even wary of each other.

Ye Huayu put his hands behind his back and sighed, "After hearing the whole story, you should understand it."

Chu Zhishui nodded, "Yeah, it's an interesting story."

"An interesting story?" Ye Huayu said in shock, "Xiao Chu, you don't realize the seriousness of the problem. You shouldn't think it's interesting after listening to this. You should say something else!"

Chu Zhishui pondered for a few seconds, and she said calmly, "No, Director Ye, you are asking me what I think about the trade war at home and abroad. I do have ideas in my mind, but are my ideas useful?"

It's impossible that she can start a trade war whenever she wants. This ancient story has been elevated to a fight between gods. What can an ordinary person like her do?

"No, Xiao Chu, there's something wrong with your thinking." Ye Huayu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. "What I mean is that you shouldn't bring him into the bureau. We have that person suppressed in the Observation Department. If he runs in and swallows that one quarter, then no one will be able to control him. Maybe something even worse than last year will happen!"

Chu Zhishui argued leisurely: "No, he has a mysophobia and won't eat dirty things, and nothing happened the last time he entered the Observation Department of our bureau."

She thought Ye Huayu was making a big fuss. It's not like Xin Yunmao had been to the Observation Department before, and nothing happened then.

"He also entered the observation department of your bureau? No, what on earth is Miao Lu thinking!?" Ye Huayu was so frightened when he heard the horrifying news that his face turned pale, like a peacock with its feathers exploded. He changed his mind and seemed to understand something, and complained, "Wait, it's normal if it's Miao Lu. He is just a troublemaker who only likes to watch the chaos."

"In short, you have to be vigilant and can't bring him to Yinhai again. That person was very kind at first, but in the end, he still made such a mess. Who knows, there might be another war one day!"

Chu Zhishui's neck turned red when she heard him say that. She calmed down and interrupted politely: "Director Ye, may I ask, when did the last war take place?"

"At least a thousand years ago."

"Then when will the next war be?"

"It will probably take a long time."

"Look for yourself, the time units are all thousands of years. What does this have to do with me?" Chu Zhishui shrugged casually, "It's not something that a human like me with a lifespan of a hundred years should consider!"

Ye Huayu: "..."
