Chu Zhishui looked embarrassed: "Sister Hong, this is not appropriate."

"Not appropriate?" Hong Ximing hesitated, "I think Zhuzi is very elegant, and he is one of the 'Four Gentlemen'."

Hong Ximing's voice was cheerful, and she exuded a sense of excitement, which was different from other monsters in the bureau.

Miao Lu deliberately played a prank at the general meeting to discredit Xin Yunmaopang's leadership, but Hong Ximing had a kind of love for pulling strings and building bridges in her bones, and she was much bolder than other monsters. When

other monsters heard gossip, they usually paid more attention, and they would never dare to step forward to talk about it in detail. Only Director Hong dared to speak frankly.

"Sister Hong, I heard that your true form is a bird?" Chu Zhishui changed the subject of painting the wall and asked tentatively, "Could it be a magpie?"

Hong Ximing replied calmly, "Yes."

"..."

No wonder, the magpie was a matchmaker for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It's normal to think that they have been keen on this for a long time. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are separated by a galaxy and it's no problem. Director Hong certainly thinks it's no problem to arrange for the God.

Chu Zhishui learned about Hong Ximing's true form and immediately realized that the explanation was not clear. She was embarrassed to stay in the courtyard any longer, so she wanted to leave with an excuse. Before leaving, she begged Niu Shi not to paint or draw on the wall.

"Why?" Niu Shi, as a simple elder brother, did not understand what Director Hong was hinting at, and asked curiously, "Do you think the calligraphy and paintings are not suitable? Or is it that the wall is ugly?" "

No, it's not their problem, it's my problem." Chu Zhishui whispered, "It's embarrassing for me to do this."

The newly built courtyard wall is painted with bamboo calligraphy and paintings, and she will be too embarrassed to face the employees in the bureau. She really can't see the monster in the unit.

Fortunately, Hong Ximing just gave the idea when she passed by, and she seemed to mention it casually, and didn't dwell on it too much, and even went back to the office with Chu Zhishui.

In the corridor, Chu Zhishui waved goodbye to Director Hong, and she rushed back to the Economic Development Section. As soon as she entered the door, she said decisively: "Performance will be distributed this month, and then money will be allocated to the Personnel and Administration Department, so that the bureau can start purchasing New Year's goods!"

Jin Yu was sitting in front of the computer, and she looked up in confusion: "Because you made money recently, you want to spend it? But New Year's goods don't cost much."

"No, it's not because you want to spend the money because you made money." Chu Zhishui said seriously, "The workload of the Personnel and Administration Department is not full now, so we should appropriately increase some affairs to improve everyone's work enthusiasm and sense of accomplishment."

Jin Yu: "?"

As long as Director Hong is busy purchasing New Year's goods, he will definitely have no time to think about anything else.

As winter approaches, the Huaijiang Observation Bureau becomes increasingly busy at the end of the year. The main tasks of the Observation Bureau remain unchanged. The financial department needs to sort out the accounts for the year, the personnel and administration department needs to prepare for the holidays, and the logistics department is busy with the construction of staff dormitories and roads. After these tasks are completed, there is also the year-end performance review, and there is no chance to breathe.

The Economic Development Department is also very busy. After shipping the orders accumulated during the Xintou Promotion Festival, it has to deal with subsequent after-sales issues. Fortunately, the brand reputation of the Observation Bureau has accumulated well, and there is still a stable sales volume after major events. Now it will not collapse without traffic promotion.

Wang Yiwen was one of the happiest people when the Guanju brand started to take off. After all, she was involved in everything from product selection to promotion. Making a little-known brand famous definitely proved the commercial monetization ability of New Turbine Platform and helped her gain a firm foothold in the new company.

On the phone, she learned the inside news and ran over to send a message: "Very good, Qi Chang said that in the future, he may not necessarily promote big brands, but can promote emerging domestic brands. Maybe he will hold a special event for small and medium-sized companies, and we can cooperate deeply at that time!" It

gave her another good opportunity to fleece the capitalists.

Qi Chang also mentioned Guanju at the meeting. Wang Yiwen was not sure whether President Qi knew the background of Guanju Company and its relationship with Chu Zhishui, but she saw that the boss was not opposed to it now, and even had the intention of going with the flow.

"How are your offline sales going now?" Wang Yiwen asked, "Please be sure to contact me online. If I hold a promotional event, my performance this year will be stable."

"Many people offline have come to us for wholesale purchases, and we are slowly starting to make a living, but the physical stores are not doing well." Chu Zhishui said, "I am now hesitating whether to open a physical store after the New Year, but there is no plan yet, so let's wait and see."

After the sales volume of Guanju's three products increased dramatically, other sales channels also continued to increase, such as supermarkets and shopping malls that would purchase goods and sell them in offline physical stores. Guanju products have frequently appeared in Huaijiang Mall, and Chu Xiaohe would also see them when he went to the supermarket to buy vegetables. Since they are local products, they are widely available in Huaijiang.

Chu Zhishui has recently considered whether to open a physical store. Profit is a secondary matter. The main thing is to put the company's new products there from time to time and let customers who come to the physical store try and evaluate them. By collecting suggestions in this way, they can quickly adjust new products and then push the improved products into the market.

In the past, the Guan Bureau was small in scale, so they rolled up their sleeves and worked hard. Anyway, they would throw the products into the market. Now, the company's brand and reputation are becoming more and more important. In order to avoid problems such as the scalp nourishing cream not having a brush, it is necessary to collect opinions more widely in the early stage.

She thought that there would not be a need for many directly-operated stores, only one or two would be enough to establish the brand image, and the main income would still be online.

In the director's office, Chu Zhishui and Hu Chenrui discussed the development of the company. She told the director about this idea and wanted to hear what Director Hu thought.

"Direct-sale store?" Hu Chenrui thought, "Yes, I think it's fine. Whether it makes money or not is secondary. What matters most is that the company in the bureau can develop for a longer period of time."

After all, the observation bureau company must be stable enough so as not to affect the performance of the bureau. The monsters have a long way to go.

"Now the location of the direct-sale store is a problem." Chu Zhiping said kindly, "In theory, in order to save store expenses, it should be located near the bureau, but you also know the traffic situation here, there are too few people, and the city is very troublesome."

Huaijiang Observation Bureau is in the middle of nowhere, and no one will come here. At that time, the business will be miserable. They really don't care about profit, but at least they can't lose money directly. At least they have to choose a reliable location.

Hu Chenrui thought: "Should we choose a place with a lot of traffic?"

"Yes, it's best to be in a more prosperous urban area. I also inquired about the price of renting a store in Huaijiang City not long ago. It may be a bit risky, so I said I would like to discuss with you whether to do this."

"We must open it in Huaijiang City?" Hu Chenrui said, "Can other cities?"

"Ah?" Chu Zhishui was stunned, "Of course it's okay, but other cities refer to..."

Hu Chenrui smiled and said: "We can open it in Yinhai Bureau. I see they have a lot of stores."

Chu Zhishui: "?"

Chu Zhishui was shocked. She hesitated and said: "Will Director Ye agree to this?"

She thought it was amazing to be able to open a store in Huaijiang City, but she didn't expect that Director Hu was more daring than she was. He directly chose Yinhai City, which has the largest population in the country, and opened a store in the urban area with the largest flow of people. Yinhai Bureau is located in the core area of ​​the city and has always been prosperous and noisy, so

it is particularly easy to make money. "We can discuss it with Director Ye." Hu Chenrui said warmly, "For example, we can use a piece of land in Huaijiang to exchange for a piece of land in Yinhai. Let them choose our land first, and we can just pick any of theirs." "..."

Chu Zhishui seriously suspected that Director Hu treated Director Ye as a fool. Everyone knows that the land price in Huaijiang is different from that in Yinhai. This is not an equal exchange at all. She now feels that Director Hu is equally confident. Is it because of his foxy talent that he thinks that others will agree to all his unreasonable requests.

Chu Zhishui did not complain directly. She remained neither humble nor arrogant and responded, "It's okay. You discuss it with Director Ye first. If everything goes well, we will start opening the store."

"This should be a small matter. You rushed me to Huaijiang, and you can't even do this? Then forget it." Hu Chenrui's tone was pleasant, but there was resentment in his words. He took out his mobile phone, "Wait a minute, I'll remove him from the blacklist. I still have to contact him if there is anything important."

Chu Zhishui noticed that Director Hu was still brooding over being demoted to Huaijiang, and he would have the idea of ​​overturning the table in the Observation Bureau from time to time. It seemed that it was indeed a difficult decision to take over the area where the God was located in the beginning. He should have given up these sinister thoughts after life was good.

"How about this, I'm going to Yinhai after the New Year to discuss next year's business expenses with them, you can go on a business trip with me, and we can see which place to choose." Hu Chenrui said with a smile, "If you can't handle it yourself, bring another one from the department, we can do two things at the same time, and nothing will be delayed!"

Chu Zhishui was confused: "Bring another one from the department?"

"If you want to bring two, it's okay, anyway, there is a lot of money in the account recently, it's nothing more than overreporting travel expenses."

Chu Zhishui swallowed and reminded: "Director Hu, you have a meeting with the directors, and then you want to take us, are you sure?"

Chu Zhishui directly rejected Director Ye at first. She didn't agree not to take Xin Yunmao anymore, but she wouldn't rush to make things difficult for the other party. Director Hu seemed to be looking for trouble in the world, and obviously didn't care about Director Ye's thoughts at all.

Fortunately, Xin Yunmao is a simple-minded person. If he really wanted to cause trouble, he would be taken to Yinhai where the directors' meeting was held, and he could directly wipe out four directors at once.

"Sure, of course." Hu Chenrui nodded seriously, "How can I ask for business expenses and land without taking you?"

How can he ask for money without letting other directors see his hard work?

"..."

This is a threat of first courtesy and then force.

She can imagine the faces of other directors. It's no different from putting a knife to their necks and asking for money. If they don't agree, they can cut their necks on the spot.

Anyway, it's a matter after the Spring Festival, Hu Chenrui has the decision, and Chu Zhishui can't persuade him. If the sky falls, there are directors to support it, and it has nothing to do with her, a deputy section chief.

Chu Zhishui kicked the ball away and began to make a disclaimer: "Okay, as long as you think it's suitable, I have no problem."

Hu Chenrui said, "It's suitable, it's definitely suitable. Whether it's suitable or not, you have to find the right one for me!"

At the end of the year, he was busy with work and was disturbed by trivial matters in life.

After a long wait, Chu Zhishui ushered in the day of handover and finally got the key to his new house. Huaijiang developers are now extremely rogue. All they sell are finely decorated commercial houses, and the quality of decoration is uneven. The owner of the house may need to continue to rework.

In the brand-new community, Chu Zhishui opened the door with a key and quickly checked every corner. He decided to find someone to solve the problem in time and try to eliminate the hidden dangers of the fine decoration.

The developer gave her a new Chinese style decoration. Anyway, she didn't understand these design concepts. She took a walk around the house and planned to revisit it when she had some free time.

The residents on the ground floor have a yard, which is blocked by the surrounding green trees, so that not too much privacy is exposed to the outside. Chu Zhishui liked this house because she thought the yard would be very comfortable. There is only an extremely remote path in front, and few people pass by here, which in disguise includes the green space outside the yard into the back garden.

Unfortunately, it was winter in Huaijiang, and the trees had withered. Only a clump of green bamboo outside the yard was still lush, and there was no other color.

Chu Zhishui was standing in the yard. She saw the bamboo creaking, and hurried out to check, not understanding why there was a bamboo forest. After leaving the courtyard, there was a stream flowing and a man-made river made of pebbles. It seemed that the developer wanted to create an atmosphere of green bamboos around the stream to match the Chinese style of the community.

The bamboo forest was planted by the property, and it happened to be close to Chu Zhishui's house, and even the branches and leaves extended into her yard.

Chu Zhishui pushed the bamboo leaves and branches speechlessly, thinking that this species was really unreasonable and wanted to occupy her place wherever it went.

She had just finished tidying up the bamboo outside the yard, and when she turned around, she saw a figure outside the fence. It was Xin Yunmao who was looking at her through the railings.

Xin Yunmao appeared out of nowhere. He stood outside the yard, staring at the bamboo forest, and said contentedly, "You planted bamboo in the yard after all."

"I didn't plant it, the property planted it." Chu Zhishui quickly argued, "Look carefully, it's outside, not in my house!" Xin

Yunmao pointed to the yard and said righteously, "There are obviously some inside."

Chu Zhishui looked down and saw a small bamboo seedling crossing the fence and entering her yard from the green land outside.

She thought to herself how could even a bamboo that hadn't become a spirit be so shameless, and said shyly, "It grew here by itself!"
