In the office building, Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao were finalizing the order for this year's tea. Now that the Spring Festival has just passed, as long as the temperature rises, it will be a new tea picking season in a few months. After

Hu Chenrui finished the director's meeting, he rushed over with a smile on his face and brought good news: "Okay, the store matter has been discussed. Let's go shopping together and choose a place to open the store."

"So fast." Chu Zhishui was deeply shocked and hesitated, "The directors are so efficient."

Hu Chenrui's negotiation speed is like a bulldozer, even Chu Zhishui is ashamed of himself. Is it possible that no director hesitated?

"We can go back to Huaijiang after choosing. When the store is really opened, we can ask Director Ye and others to help keep an eye on it. Anyway, it is right in front of the Yinhai Bureau." Hu Chenrui said crisply and had planned it clearly.

In addition to the main entrance, there is a small door between the Yinhai Observatory and the street outside. Walking out of this door, you will see bustling small shops. The whole street is full of unique shops, including bookstores, coffee shops, flower shops and Japanese food stores. It is not easy to visit all of them.

The land in Yinhai City is very expensive. Although the shops are small, the shops that can operate here for a long time are very powerful. The Yinhai Bureau happens to have some shops here, which are usually used for self-operation or rental. Now they are just vacant after the Chinese New Year, but the things inside have not been moved out yet.

"This one is better than that one." Chu Zhishui took a photo with her phone and said, "It's a little smaller, but the location is great."

Hu Chenrui nodded, "The feng shui is better too."

"It seems the key hasn't been brought yet, I'll go check it out." Chu Zhishui waited for Du Zigui for a long time and couldn't open the door to enter the store. She was about to send a message to ask, but a call popped up on her phone screen.

The caller was Li Longke.

Chu Zhishui's phone was in silent mode, so there was no ringing to disturb her.

Xin Yunmao stood beside her. He glanced at the name on the screen: "Why didn't you answer it?"

"I was just a little surprised." Chu Zhishui frowned, "It seems like a ghost story."

"Ghost story?"

"How could someone buried in a cemetery call me?" "

?"

Chu Zhishui did not delete Li Longke's contact information when she left the company. She thought they had parted ways amicably. It was childish to block and delete each other. They could also see each other's circle of friends on WeChat. The real indifference is to be indifferent. Even if you occasionally see a message from each other, you can pass it by calmly without making any splashes.

But this definitely does not include incoming calls.

Chu Zhishui greeted Xin Yunmao and Hu Chenrui, and then walked a little further away to answer the phone. She said restrainedly and calmly: "Hello? Mr. Li."

Hu Chenrui didn't care at first, but when he heard the name, his ears twitched, just like a sharp fox leaning forward.

"Zhishui, how have you been recently?" Li Longke asked in a friendly manner, "Are you currently staying in Huaijiang?"

"No..." Chu Zhishui hesitated, "I'm in Yinhai."

She didn't want to say this, but it would be really awkward to run into him in the next two days.

"Ah, you're in Yinhai?" Li Longke was surprised, and hurriedly smiled, "That's even more convenient. I was going to Huaijiang to find you, or we could have found time to meet in the next two days."

Chu Zhishui's tone was strange: "Meet?"

She should be Li Longke's former colleague, not his ex, what's there to meet?

"Yes, I've thought about it carefully recently. When I discussed the company's affairs with you, I did have a lot of impulsive words and actions. I guess you have been wronged, and I have always felt sorry."

Li Longke said: "Let's meet and talk. I formally apologize to you and hope you can come back. After all, you are one of the founders of Longzhi, and there is a word in Longzhi that belongs to you."

"..."

The tone is exactly the same as when they started the business at school, but Chu Zhishui was deceived once when she was young, and she would never be fooled a second time. She knew that Li Longke was kind and honest, but it was only limited to when he was in a low period. When he had the ability to be arrogant, he could tear off the mask in a second and reveal his greedy fangs.

It seems that Longzhi Video is really over. President Li lowered his head and ran to her.

Chu Zhishui calmed down and said, "Mr. Li, you flatter me. Longzhi means knowledge, and my name means childishness. Longzhi's development today is mainly due to your efforts."

"Are you still angry?" Li Longke was embarrassed, "Why don't we have a face-to-face meeting?"

"No, I'm not angry. In fact, I'm on a business trip and have work in Yinhai. I may not have time."

"I remember that you seem to have joined a public institution. Otherwise, I will go to your unit to find you?"

"..."

God, he is so annoying. Don't start a business with a man. Maybe after leaving the job, he will still pester you as his ex-girlfriend. It's really disgusting.

Chu Zhishui didn't want to reveal the address of the Observation Bureau, so she just responded casually and said euphemistically that she would make an appointment another day. As everyone knows, if you make an appointment another day, you won't meet.

Xin Yunmao saw her hang up the phone, he blinked and asked, "Is it the guy from the previous company?"

He went to the door of the bar to pick her up last time, and heard her talk about the previous company that day.

Chu Zhishui sighed, "Yes."

"Previous company?" Hu Chenrui's heart was even more alarmed. He recalled that Chu Zhishui wanted to resign because of low salary, and pretended to be casual, "Xiao Chu, are you going to meet him soon?"

He would not accept Chu Zhishui running back to Yinhai, otherwise all his plans would fail, and even the performance of Huaijiang Bureau would be in vain.

"No." Chu Zhishui was stunned, "Just a few polite words."

Hu Chenrui smiled: "Could it be that I am here, so it is inconvenient to agree."

Chu Zhishui was speechless: "No, Director Hu, you think too much, I really don't plan to meet, it's good in the bureau, and I have just been promoted to deputy director, I dare not even think about it outside."

"Hehe, it hasn't been officially approved yet, who knows if there will be variables in the middle." Hu Chenrui smiled, "After all, our unit still doesn't make enough money compared to the outside world. Once the human company goes public, it will basically be financially independent."

"..."

Chu Zhishui heard that he misunderstood, she took a deep breath, and said softly: "Director Hu, I think both humans and monsters should be sincere and trust each other, which is conducive to unity."

"The Observation Bureau handles disputes between humans and demons every day, which taught me a lesson: don't trust humans easily." Hu Chenrui raised his eyebrows, "Especially humans who are good at making up stories!"

"...You also often make up stories."

Hu Chenrui made the decision, "Since you don't want to go, why don't you meet him? Ask him to come to the bureau to see you, and then reject him in person."

Hu Chenrui didn't believe Chu Zhishui at all. She had no complaints when she first came to the bureau, but she handed in her resignation report without saying a word. People with strong skills don't say anything, but do things silently. The same is true for job-hopping and running away. Those who shout the loudest often don't leave, and those who look stable suddenly resign.

"I'll go say hello to Director Ye, you can chat in the conference room later." Hu Chenrui didn't want to watch the shop, and went directly to find Ye Huayu.

"He is so persistent." Xin Yunmao raised his eyebrows, seeming puzzled, "You will definitely not go back."

He knew Chu Zhishui's past, so he naturally didn't feel worried. Not to mention the reason for leaving the previous company, even if she really wanted to make money, she could just make a wish to him, why should she make a living under humans?

Chu Zhishui complained: "Foxes are always cunning. They are suspicious and don't believe you."

In the office building, Ye Huayu heard Hu Chenrui's request. He was also confused and said, "This is Xiao Chu's personal choice. Besides, it is inconvenient for humans to work in the bureau. She can tell whether a watch is good or bad. She has seen the world before. It is normal for people to move up."

Hu Chenrui scolded: "What do you mean by high?"

"But out there, you earn more with less work. Look, the monsters who are not on the payroll earn several times more than us." Ye Huayu said, "There is a villa in the suburbs of Yinhai that was bought by them."

The monsters in the Observation Bureau cannot conclude agreements with humans at will. They have few means of saving money, but they have a higher status in the monster world.

"Old Ye, I tell you, if she goes to Yinhai to develop, Shenjun will definitely follow." Hu Chenrui warned, "Then you will experience the life I am living now. He will definitely never step out of Yinhai again!" "

..."

Yinhai Observation Bureau, it was close to the end of work time, and the flow of people outside the big iron gate gradually sparse.

Li Longke drove to the location. He was puzzled by Chu Zhishui's choice of location. Later, he learned that she was accompanying the leader to a meeting and would soon return to Huaijiang after the meeting. Only then did he understand why they had to meet in the unit. Maybe there was a confidentiality agreement that restricted employees from going out.

In his impression, public institutions are relatively rustic, but the gate of Yinhai Bureau is majestic and solemn, and even the parking spaces at the gate are full of luxury cars.

Cars outside were not allowed to drive into the bureau, so Li Longke called the security guard and then walked to the designated office building. He was wondering why Chu Zhishui didn't come out to pick him up, but he just took two steps outside when he heard a surprised question from the side.

The middle-aged man was dressed brightly, and everything on his body was branded. He looked well-known. He pointed at Li Longke angrily and said, "How can he get in?!"

The security guard explained, "You misunderstood. He is not doing business. He has an appointment with someone in the bureau."

Li Longke's heart skipped a beat. He felt more and more panicked. He didn't know what powerful department Chu Zhishui had entered. Not only was the security strict and he was not allowed to leave, but even celebrities and wealthy people gathered outside the building and hurriedly walked in.

Didn't she go back to Huaijiang to retire?

Why does it look like joining a powerful organization?

Modern society is like this, money alone is useless. This is just the elite admission ticket, you must also have power and connections.

Li Longke has recently understood this very well. He started from scratch and has not accumulated much, unlike Xintou who is smooth and smooth. As long as he can get the investors together, he can immediately target Long Zhikai's company, making him so angry that he can't do anything.

When Chu Zhishui was in the company, she was good at managing interpersonal relationships and had good contact with investors. Li Longke is much worse than her, and it has been obvious that he can't do it in the past year, so he thought of inviting her back.

Longzhi Video is now in trouble, and even people in the company are laughing at it. It is estimated that she is the only one who hopes for the best for Longzhi.

Li Longke now recalls that Chu Zhishui has never done anything to let Longzhi down, and the suspicion and resentment he had towards her in the past have also disappeared with Longzhi's internal and external troubles. He had to admit that if he really wanted to find someone to reorganize the situation, she would be the most reliable candidate.

In the office building, Li Longke knocked on the door gently and finally saw Chu Zhishui.

He glanced inside casually. It seemed to be a lounge. All the participants were sitting inside, drinking tea leisurely. There were men and women in the room, and their ages were not similar. Judging from their attire, they did not look like civil servants, and some of them had gold chains around their necks.

Chu Zhishui opened a crack in the door. She was held there by Director Hu. She said with a stiff face: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. I've been attending meetings with the director these two days, so this is the only way we can meet."

Li Longke smiled: "No problem, shall we go out and talk?"

Ye Huayu approached Xin Yunmao and whispered: "My Lord, can you tolerate this?"

Xin Yunmao's face was calm, and he was too lazy to talk the whole time. He glanced at Li Longke and responded rarely, saying in a cold tone: "She's not very pretty."

"Xiao Chu, don't go out, come in and sit down." Hu Chenrui extended his hand and greeted him, saying kindly, "We'll keep our voices down and won't disturb you."

"Thank you, Director Hu." Chu Zhishui said numbly. She thought to herself that if she really didn't want to disturb him, why would Director Hu find so many monsters?

Ye Huayu and Hu Chenrui suddenly gathered a group of monsters outside, saying that they wanted to communicate with them, and suddenly they were tasting green tea in the lounge.

After drinking green tea, each monster would flatter Xin Yunmao, saying that the God was really awesome, why didn't he build a temple yet, and whether they wanted them to help with the planning, and those with money would contribute money, and those with strength would contribute their strength.

Chu Zhishui is now sure that Xin Yunmao has the ability. He was just too lazy to do these things before, otherwise he would have the capital to be arrogant and confident, and there would be countless monsters who want to cling to him. The monsters in the Observation Bureau were decent enough, and they knelt down directly without being hindered by the power. The monsters outside swarmed and flattered him, and only stopped when he was forced to let out a cold breath.

If Chu Zhishui hadn't been in the house, Xin Yunmao would have taken out an umbrella to drive away the monsters. He has always hated this kind of monsters, which are even more spineless than the monsters in the Observation Bureau. They have basically completely integrated into the secular human society, and flattery and fawning are engraved on their faces.

The Dragon God once had a group of such believers, all of whom were despised by Xin Yunmao.

After Li Longke came in, he found that there were many people in the room, and no matter what their appearance was, their temperament was quite outstanding.

Among them, the most eye-catching was nothing more than the cold and handsome man in the corner. He casually swung his long legs and did not seem to join in the conversation with others. The seat to his side was still empty, with a familiar laptop on it. It should be Chu Zhishui's thing. There was a water drop sticker on the outside of the computer, and the small details have not changed to this day.

Xin Yunmao noticed Li Longke's line of sight, and he raised his eyes lightly, scanning him up and down.

Li Longke just felt a chill on his back, and he felt uncomfortable from head to toe, just like the feeling of an ant facing an elephant.

"Mr. Li, let's sit over there and talk." Chu Zhishui didn't dare to take him close to Xin Yunmao, and planned to find a random place to make a quick decision.

"Huh?" A square-faced man in the room was distracted. He looked at Li Longke carefully and asked doubtfully, "Are you Longzhi who? I seem to have seen you before, at some meeting."

Li Longke was startled. He recalled and greeted in panic, "Are you Mr. Wang from Wanke Investment?"

"Yes, it's me!" Mr. Wang patted his thigh and said, "I thought you looked familiar. I saw you soliciting money before!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I have met you once. I am Li Longke from Longzhi." Li Longke shook hands politely.

Another socialite beauty asked, "What is Longzhi?"

"We are a video website that uses new thinking to connect users and provide them with targeted services." Li Longke talked freely, "The main thing is to meet needs while watching videos, whether it is shopping, learning, or socializing, to create a complete ecosystem." The

socialite beauty was surprised: "Isn't that the same as Xintou Video?"

Li Longke gritted his teeth: "They are learning from us."

He is now like going out to solicit money. Facing a group of tricky investors, everyone has to speak up and give them some advice.

"But I see your page is similar to many other A pages?" The socialite searched on her phone, "Aren't they all the same?"

Hu Chenrui: "Did Xiaochu work in this company before? I remember that A was fun at that time. I played it for a while, and the atmosphere in the comment area was also very good."

Chu Zhishui: "You played an early version, right?"

After Chu Zhishui left, Li Longke found a new operation team, which really diluted the original characteristics of Longzhi Video. To be honest, she now feels that the former company A is very ordinary. Anyway, it is no different from other products on the market, and she has long stopped paying attention to it.

Li Longke froze: "We have recently started designing, maybe we can restore the original features."

"Old Wang, Old Wang, is there money to be made by investing in this?" the celebrity beauty shouted, "I want to spend 100 million to test the waters!"

"Director Chu is in the bureau, don't you understand?" President Wang said, "If you really want to lose everything, then give it a try."

Li Longke: "..."
