Wang Yiwen had no objection to Chu Zhishui's decision. She had already established herself in Xintou. Even if someone else jumped over, their rank would not be higher than hers, which would be a disguised way to strengthen her power in the company. Naturally, she fully supported Chu Zhishui's approach.

When Wang Yiwen was working at Longzhi, she was too close to Chu Zhishui before, and was gradually squeezed out of the core area. In addition, it has been a while since she jumped to Xintou, so many things are no longer clear to her.

When Chu Zhishui contacted other people, he also casually talked about the recent situation of Longzhi and indirectly found out a lot of information.

"Longzhi is also planning to promote small and medium-sized brands?" Chu Zhishui was stunned. "Didn't you say before that

you would mainly promote high-quality brands?" "Because Xintou's sales data is good this time, and the current trend is consumption downgrade, so we will also focus on domestic brands." The other party said, "By the way, Mr. Chu, are you paying attention to Xintou's sales volume list? According to that brand analysis, there are one or two brands that are very powerful. Recently, we plan to promote a similar wave of benchmarks to the extent that we can compete with Xintou."

At this point, Chu Zhishui knew what she should know. Some information about Guanju Company can be found on the Internet. It is estimated that Li Longke knew that she was cooperating with Xintou, and pretended to be confused when they met to inquire about Wang Yiwen's situation.

If Chu Zhishui agreed to cooperate with him, then he would readily agree and cut off the deep connection between Guanju and Xintou.

But if she didn't agree, he was also prepared. He had already collected a wave of snack and makeup brands internally, intending to launch a brand to compete with Guanju.

Such a familiar approach.

Li Longke originally let her run the business, and then secretly found a new operation team behind the scenes. When the opportunity came, he tried to force the emperor to abdicate, still using the same old tricks.

Chu Zhishui didn't understand how much he feared her, which was why he recommended brands to compete with Guanju. Li Longke should obviously have a fight with Qi Chang, but his eyes always followed her, as if she was the one who pushed Qi Chang to the top and she was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Long Zhi knew that if he promoted the competing brand, it would inevitably have an impact on Guanju, but Chu Zhishui was quite confident at the moment and thought that this was not a big challenge.

First, the cost of Guanju products is extremely low, and the core competitiveness is real materials. In addition, the labor reform of the Yellow, Black and White Demon Group has indirectly reduced the labor costs of similar products. Second, Guanju has a healthy corporate system. As long as the direct-operated stores run smoothly, it is difficult to collapse in a short period of time, and the biggest problem, store rent, has also been solved.

Even if Guanju encounters storms in the short term, as long as it survives the first wave, it will still be fine. Even if there is no Li Longke to promote competitive products, there are still countless competitors in the market. The market is a big wave, and it depends on who can laugh the longest.

The talents poached from Longzhi need time to leave, and Guanju's direct-operated stores also need time to plan. Perhaps the next confrontation will be a full-scale arm wrestling, which is basically the time when the direct-operated stores officially open.

In the Yinhai Observation Bureau, Ye Huayu and other monsters, after unremitting efforts, finally prevented Chu Zhishui from being poached and avoided the situation of the God Lord staying in Yinhai.

Before Hu Chenrui left, he also warned, meaningfully: "Director Ye, don't let your guard down, keep an eye on the decoration of the store. If the direct-operated store fails, maybe Xiao Chu will leave. If she can't work in Huaijiang, she will return to Yinhai." "

Why do young people always have to fight in big cities? It's so hard!" Ye Huayu was surprised, "Old Hu, you should persuade her. Huaijiang Bureau is stable, much better than outside!"

Hu Chenrui said leisurely: "I want to persuade her, but young people have their own ideas."

Ye Huayu thought: "Otherwise, you can help her solve her personal problems. It is said that after getting married, she will be too lazy to change jobs."

"?"

At the end of the business trip, Hu Chenrui returned with a lot of business expenses and stores, while Chu Zhishui was suddenly promoted to deputy director. When she returned to the bureau, she began to go through the formal process of the election meeting. Chu Zhishui

was promoted exceptionally. Logically, she had not been in the job long enough, and it would be difficult for her to be promoted rapidly in an ordinary unit. However, the performance of the bureau has improved significantly in the past year, and the monsters are the most numb to time, so she was passed unanimously in a confused manner. After all,

human colleagues have only worked for forty or fifty years, and the monster colleagues were embarrassed to hold her back, as it was indeed too short for them.

This kind of exceptional promotion has precedents across the country, so Chu Zhishui's procedures were complicated but smooth.

Not long after, the Economic Development Division became the Economic Development Office, and Chu Zhishui was officially selected as the deputy director, and went to Hong Ximing to complete the remaining procedures.

In the personnel office, the window was pushed open a little to let in air, and a slightly cool breeze penetrated into the room, dispelling the drowsiness of winter heating.

Chu Zhishui sat on the sofa and waited. She heard the crackling sound beside her ear, and hesitated whether to go back to the Economic Development Division first and wait for Hong Ximing to finish before coming up to collect the relevant forms.

Hong Ximing was working in front of the computer. She seemed to see Chu Zhishui's hesitation. She was typing away at the keyboard with agility while chatting enthusiastically: "Xiao Chu, don't worry, it will be done soon."

"Okay, Sister Hong, I'm not in a hurry, take your time." Chu Zhishui had to continue sitting and waiting after hearing this. She was too embarrassed to leave first.

"You are really promising at a young age. You were promoted to deputy director at such a young age. I was promoted in Yinhai back then. It has been hundreds of years if I think about it carefully. Of course, it was not called deputy director at that time, and this job grade system was not used." Hong Ximing showed a nostalgic look. Her hands did not stop moving, and the keyboard was still ringing crisply.

Monsters occasionally use words that are characteristic of the times. For example, the yellow, black, and white monster group always shouts "sir" and "God", and has not yet gotten rid of some traces of the years.

"You used to work in Yinhai?" Chu Zhishui was curious, "You haven't always been in Huaijiang."

"Yes, there is an unwritten rule in our Observation Bureau that generally if you want to be promoted, you have to go to Huaijiang." Hong Ximing explained, "Huaijiang Bureau has the most quotas. Look at Wu Changgong, he was promoted from Qiwu."

Chu Zhishui suddenly realized that Huaijiang Bureau seems to be a high-risk border area all year round. Not only is it suppressing a quarter of the Dragon God, but there is also a complete bamboo monster. No wonder Director Hu was resentful about being sent here.

Although the Huaijiang Observation Bureau nominally maintains stability, to be honest, it cannot defeat the Conferred God monsters at all. If there is a conflict, it will be the first to fall. Fortunately, Xin Yunmao is a person who stays at home and has nothing to do. He has no interest in recruiting believers and expanding his power, which is completely different from the Dragon God who was so powerful in the past.

Plants may all be peace lovers, and they are usually only keen on watering flowers and farming.

Chu Zhishui and Hong Ximing chatted casually. People only have a few tricks when chatting with each other, and the same is true for people and monsters . Unknowingly, they turned to the classic topic of the office.

This is a link that countless units in the system cannot avoid. However, Chu Zhishui thought about the special nature of the Observation Bureau and never paid much attention to it until Hong Ximing asked about it.

"Xiao Chu, has your love life developed recently?"

Chu Zhishui was confused when she heard the topic jump, "Huh?"

"You look so good at your work, haven't you thought about your personal problems?" Hong Ximing smiled, "Why don't you consider starting a family?"

"..."

No way, no way, human leaders would gossip about whether they are single, how come even monster leaders would do that?

Chu Zhishui smiled stiffly: "The Economic Development Department is very busy, and we are about to open a direct-sale store. I really can't take care of these things."

Hong Ximing thought thoughtfully: "That's right, you are really busy. I remember that you guys worked late during the days of the event, and you got off work later than I did."

Chu Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief and said officially: "Yes, so I don't want to think about these things. I will be busy with my work in the bureau first. I have just been promoted and I can't let everyone down."

"We feel bad for you for being so focused on this." Hong Ximing said enthusiastically, "How about this, I'll introduce you to someone and help you take care of this matter. Do you have any requirements?"

Chu Zhishui: "?"

Chu Zhishui declined in panic: "This is too much of a trouble, Sister Hong. You have work to do, and I want you to worry about this."

Hong Ximing: "It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble. It's just a matter of convenience!"

Chu Zhishui swallowed awkwardly: "Mainly because I think this is very difficult and it takes too much energy..."

"No matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" Hong Ximing said straightforwardly, "We have rich experience in pulling strings and building bridges. Xiao Chu, you can trust me. Just make your requests and I will find them for you!"

"..."

Is this the confidence of a magpie? Do you have the courage to build a bridge under the pressure of the Queen Mother?

Chu Zhishui silently said to herself that being single is good, but she didn't want to say anything to spoil the fun, so she deliberately made things difficult: "I don't have high requirements for a partner. As long as he is good-looking, filial to my parents, able to do housework, and earn money to support the family..."

Hong Ximing responded readily: "Okay, I'll find one for you!"

Chu Zhishui made up her mind and gritted her teeth and said: "... and he must be able to have children!"

Hong Ximing: "?"

Chu Zhishui saw that the other party was hesitant, she She immediately knew what was going on and said even more forcefully: "Sister Hong, actually I have always felt that I am no worse than men, but facing the risk of childbirth is not only a loss, but it will also delay the work in the bureau. As long as this problem can be solved, I think everything else is not a problem."

Hong Ximing was in a daze: "So that's how it is, it makes sense."

Chu Zhishui smiled with satisfaction: "So thank you Sister Hong for thinking of me, but this problem is more difficult to solve..."

"This problem is not difficult to solve." Hong Ximing remembered something and clapped her hands in joy, as if she had realized something, "The one in your office can give birth! Just say you like him!"

"???"

Chu Zhishui was stunned: "Jin Yu and I are not suitable."

Hong Ximing winked at her and joked: "Why is it Jin Yu? There is another one."

Chu Zhishui was flushed by Hong Ximing's teasing eyes. She was so shocked that she almost jumped off the sofa, blushing and said: "How can he give birth to a child? He is a boy!"

"Xiao Chu, this is the inherent thinking of human beings. Animals and plants are different." Hong Ximing explained patiently, "When animal monsters transform into humans, it is indeed related to the gender of the original body, but most plant monsters are hermaphrodites. They are divided into genders according to their own characteristics. The human form is completely the same as that of men, but they will retain some of the characteristics of the original body."

"If he doesn't want to use it, then it's completely the human form, but you can discuss it. Using the characteristics of the plant monster's body is not a big deal."

"..."

The human form of the monster after transformation is no different from normal men and women. The only difference is that the plant monster has pistils and stamens, and can use its body to breed.

No wonder Xin Yunmao was embarrassed and angry after watching the documentary. She thought he was panicking at first. It obviously had nothing to do with him. Now it seems normal for him to panic.

Chu Zhishui's face was steaming. She always felt like she was talking about adult topics with Director Hong. For a while, she was sitting on pins and needles, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. The physiological common sense of the monster world shocked her. The blood rushed from her feet to her head. She was too embarrassed to turn back.

The strange knowledge increased.

She waited for Director Hong to finish the formalities, took the form and fled, never daring to stay in the personnel office any longer.

In the Economic Development Department, Chu Zhishui was slow to complete the formalities, and it was already noon when she returned. Jin Yu and Chen Zhuhui seemed to have gone to eat first, and only Xin Yunmao stood in the room to set the tableware.

He turned around when he heard the noise: "I thought it would take you a long time."

Chu Zhishui was even more flustered when she saw him now. She felt hot all over and glanced at the food on the table: "Did you get me some rice?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you, do you want to eat together?" Chu Zhishui saw his eyes shining and quickly added, "Of course, we divided the food in advance, don't wait until I finish eating to choose!"

Xin Yunmao curled his lips and spread the rice into two portions.

The man and the demon opened the lunch box and placed it directly on Chu Zhishui's table, and then ate side by side at the table.

Xin Yunmao pushed his chair over and sat down next to Chu Zhishui out of habit. He casually spread his long legs and occasionally touched her with his knees. They sat side by side, and because of the limited space, they were closer.

The fresh smell of bamboo leaves floated in, stimulating her nose. It was not the fragrance of flowers, but a kind of crispness that instantly reminded her of the bamboo standing proudly in the wind and his handsome and tall figure.

Chu Zhishui felt a faint tingling sensation through the fabric on her legs. She calmly restrained her movements and slid the chair to the side.

Xin Yunmao noticed that she had slid far away. He frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Why are you hiding so far away?"

"I just found out something, and I think I should be more careful." She coughed twice, "It's also to protect you."

Xin Yunmao became more suspicious: "Protecting me?"

"...Yes."

She was afraid that if she accidentally bumped into him, she would cause him to have artificial pollination, which would be an oolong incident.
