Hu Chenrui was embarrassed for a moment, but fortunately he reacted quickly and apologized, "I'm so sorry, the bureau is indeed short of money, so the salary may not be satisfactory."

Chu Zhishui said quickly, "It's okay, Director Hu, I understand, there are unified standards, and no one deliberately deducted money, so I said it was a personal reason."

There are regulations for the salary of this kind of unit, and the gap between the upper and lower levels will never be too large, and it is even more impossible to raise the salary of one person alone. Even for the leaders of the bureau, the base is only a little higher. If there are no performance and awards, it is estimated that even Hu Chenrui's income is average.

So she didn't want to bring it up just now. There is really no solution. Both parties should just part ways amicably.

"Actually, it's like this. Although Xi Ming put you in the Logistics Department, she should have told you at the time that it was just to let you familiarize yourself with the environment." Hu Chenrui said in a pleasant tone, "I know you have a good academic background and you did a good job after graduation. We recruited you mainly for the Economic Development Department of the Bureau."

"Economic Development Department?"

"Yes, you should also know that the revenue efficiency of a unit like ours is linked to employee performance. The Economic Development Department will not be involved in matters related to monsters. Its main purpose is to help the bureau increase revenue and provide welfare for everyone."

In short, help the bureau make money and then pay the employees.

Chu Zhishui was silent for a moment, then asked, "Director Hu, I'd like to ask, how is the performance of the Economic Development Department in the bureau now?"

"This is a new department, it's hard to talk about performance." Hu Chenrui answered implicitly.

"How many people are there in the department?"

"We did it for a while before, but the results were not so fast." Hu Chenrui smiled and clapped his legs, "I remember that you were recruited as a talent, and you should have been a deputy section chief when you came in, so you can completely organize the work of the new department independently!"

"..."

Chu Zhishui heard this, how could she not understand his hidden message. He wanted her to start from a lone commander.

"Maybe I didn't express it clearly to you just now, but I feel that I am really not suitable for..."

Hu Chenrui's eyes were lighter in color, and if you look closely, they were faintly orange-brown. He asked solemnly: "Xiao Chu, are you planning to stay in Huaijiang in the future? Will you go to other cities?"

Chu Zhishui's mind flashed with the prosperous night scene of Yinhai City's Gold Trade Center, but now it seemed as far away as the past, and even the details of the past were gradually becoming blurred. That was obviously not her destination.

She lowered her eyes and said, "My parents are both in Huaijiang, and they are unlikely to change."

"Then I don't think you need to refuse immediately. First, although the bureau is not performing well now, the salary in our brother unit is not bad. When the Economic Development Department gets on the right track, the treatment may be better than that of private enterprises in Huaijiang. Second, people sometimes care about social status. No matter what the internal situation is, some names can still scare people."

"At least in Huaijiang, the Observation Bureau still has some weight."

Chu Zhishui knew that what Director Hu said was right, otherwise she would not have chosen this place.

It is not difficult for people to survive, but if they want to live decently, they must do their best and pay the price.

"Director Hu, do you have any information about the Economic Development Division?"

"Ximing, please get it for me," Hu Chenrui ordered, "You know the place."

Hong Ximing quickly handed it over.

There is not much information about the Economic Development Division, and the various projects can only be considered semi-finished products.

The Observation Bureau will not make money directly, but will register a small company to operate it. Of course, there is no profit so far, and there are even operating costs and losses. If this kind of unit is profitable, the employees will have good performance and there will be many ways to generate income, such as technology investment from universities.

Chu Zhishui flipped through the information swiftly and understood the situation at a glance.

Hu Chenrui narrowed his peach blossom eyes and waited for her answer quietly.

"Director Hu, you just said that the premise is that the Economic Development Department is on the right track, but now it is obviously far from the goal." Chu Zhishui pretended to be embarrassed, "If the final result is not good, or there are changes in the future, then I am afraid..."

Hu Chenrui said with a smile: "Of course, if you can do it, the bureau will definitely not ignore your hard work."

Chu Zhishui argued with the old fox for a while and finally finalized the specific details.

Director Hu promised her: First, as long as the Economic Development Department makes a profit, no matter how much profit it makes, she will be promoted to a full-time department after two years. Of course, this is a bit of a pipe dream. There is no one in the new department, so it is meaningless to discuss the director and deputy director. Secondly, Chu Zhishui's performance coefficient is adjusted to the highest, which is an incentive for more work and more pay. Thirdly, the personnel in the bureau will be transferred with her so as to quickly get through the difficult period of the economic development department.

"The Observation Department is the core business department of the bureau. It has been dealing with disputes between humans and monsters, monsters and monsters for a long time. It may no longer have the spare energy to do other things. Except for the Observation Department, you can use anyone else as long as you think it can help increase the income of the bureau."

Chu Zhishui heard that he was so generous and said, "Including Director Hu?"

Hu Chenrui was stunned, but he was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "As long as you like it, of course I can."

The leader is a courteous person, she can't be ungrateful, it's just to test his attitude.

Chu Zhishui held the economic development department data in her hand. Logically, she should not agree immediately. She should use the excuse of discussing it with her family, and then go back to carefully consider the pros and cons. However, the scene in front of her was very similar to the scene when she first joined her previous company. In other words, it was not a company at that time, but just a small studio. Later, it moved to an office building near the school, and then moved to the spacious Golden Trade Center building.

Someone had also stuffed the data into her hands, but in the end, they racked

their brains to make her return the shares. She thought more than once, if she was the one who built the team, would there be a different ending? The impulse of youth and vigor was not extinguished, but the wind blew and ignited the fire again, burning her heart and chest unbearably.

Chu Zhishui suddenly didn't want to refuse. She made a decision right away and spoke gently: "Director Hu, I think Jin Yu from the Logistics Department might be more suitable for the Economic Development Department..."

The new department doesn't have anyone yet, so a team must be formed. Niu Shi is in charge of the cafeteria and landscaping, so he will definitely not leave the Logistics Department, and there won't be many people left.

"No problem, Ximing, you arrange it." Hu Chenrui agreed immediately and said generously, "Are there any other people?"

"And Xin Yunmao from the Logistics Department."

The name sounded a bit unfamiliar at first, mainly because people in the bureau rarely call him.

Hu Chenrui and Hong Ximing were both stunned. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Hong Ximing confirmed hesitantly: "Xiao Chu, you are talking about..."

Chu Zhishui looked normal and explained: "Sister Hong may rarely see him, he is also from our Logistics Department."

"Actually, he..."

Hu Chenrui stopped Hong Ximing from continuing with his eyes, and asked curiously: "Do you think he is suitable for the Economic Development Department?"

Chu Zhishui certainly noticed the eye contact between the two demons. To be honest, Xin Yunmao was indeed not diligent and capable enough. No wonder they looked weird and hesitant at the moment. He was lazy and elusive in the Logistics Department. He didn't look like he could take on important responsibilities.

Chu Zhishui coughed twice with guilt, and said matter-of-factly: "He is indeed more casual now, but it is also related to the environment of the department. I think putting him in a new environment and finding a more suitable job may motivate him."

This is what she thought in her heart.

She felt that Xin Yunmao was not as aloof as he appeared to be, it was just that the current environment was not good enough, just like someone who wandered outside the group in junior high school, but inexplicably became sociable when he entered high school. If he really had an indifferent personality, he would not think about giving back after being treated well by others.

To be honest, she was not sure what he was suitable for, but in the old environment, it was like a pool of stagnant water. Sometimes, as long as you give him an opportunity to change, everything is possible.

Hu Chenrui's brows were slightly frowned. He pondered for a long time and asked tentatively: "...Do you think he wants to be positive?"

Chu Zhishui answered decisively: "Of course, wanting to be better can be said to be an instinct."

Besides, she couldn't slack off, and he couldn't be lazy.

She thought secretly.

Hu Chenrui nodded: "Okay, I promise you, I will arrange this."

Although he was planning to resign, he became a business pioneer. This was something he had not expected before entering the door.

Fortunately, Chu Zhishui's attitude changed quickly. She simply discussed with Hu Chenrui and put forward some future ideas in a clear and orderly manner.

Hu Chenrui listened attentively, and he agreed from time to time: "Xiao Chu, I think your idea is very good. I am really not good at these, otherwise the new department would not have been delayed until now. Just follow your own plan. I believe in your ability."

Chu Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake once. Just now, she was asking whether Director Hu really didn't care about the matter.

Both parties had a pleasant exchange.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Since you have decided to stay, you should be careful when getting along with your colleagues." After Hu Chenrui finished talking about business, he stood up again, his tone was particularly serious.

This was probably to settle accounts after the event, to settle accounts for contradicting the section chief.

Chu Zhishui's heart sank, but her face was respectful and obedient, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "What does Director Hu mean?"

She guessed that Section Chief Wu would complain, but she didn't believe that he would dare to submit a form, which would expose his long-term absence from work.

Hu Chenrui sighed: "Wu Changgong said that you disassembled the crabs in the cafeteria to demonstrate to him, express resentment and dissatisfaction, and cause him a strong psychological shadow. This serial murder scene makes him uneasy until now."

Chu Zhishui: "?" Dismemberment in the cafeteria? Serial murder?

She suddenly realized and said ridiculously, "But I was just eating stir-fried swimming crabs. You have to break them apart before eating. Section Chief Wu really thinks too much."

The train of thought of these monsters is ridiculous!

She thought that a useless leader would only make her feel so disgusted that she couldn't eat. How could she use such a method to show her cruelty and threaten him! ?

It really opened up a new way of thinking about workplace dominance for her. She didn't know what kind of crab Wu Changgong was. She should let her parents go to the vegetable market more often.

"He said if he wasn't targeting me, why didn't you eat river crabs and only brought sea crabs?"

"Because river crabs are not in season." Chu Zhishui told the truth. She was always quick-witted and pointed. "And Yangcheng Lake Dazha crabs are more expensive. You know, Director Hu, the salary in the bureau now..."

Hu Chenrui would not fall into the same trap twice. He immediately clapped his hands and laughed, changing the subject, saying, "Actually, I think sea crabs are good. Let's eat sea crabs. There's nothing wrong with that!"

This meant that he would not pursue the matter any further.

Before leaving, Hong Ximing also found the key to the Economic Development Division and handed it to the newly appointed Chu Zhishui.

"Xiao Chu, the Economic Development Division is also on the third floor. You can check tomorrow to see if there is anything missing and make up for it in the next two days." Hong Ximing said enthusiastically, "I will go and inform Jin Yu."

"Just tell me if you need my help. You know where my office is."

Chu Zhishui took the key and said gratefully, "Okay, thank you Sister Hong."

The ancient trees in the courtyard are lush and leafy, weaving a thick shade.

Hu Chenrui stood by the window on the fourth floor and watched Chu Zhishui leave through the gaps between the branches and leaves until her car slowly drove away from the Huaijiang Observation Bureau. He was lost in thought for a long time before he sighed and said to himself, "Okay, I should go and notify them too."

The Huaijiang Observatory is very large, but due to tight funding, many places are abandoned and no buildings stand. The stream gurgles by the shallow beach, and the stones are slippery and mossy, making it easy to slip underfoot.

Hu Chenrui looked at Xin Yunmao sitting on the stone wall, and he didn't know how he found this place. The black-haired god is always strolling around the Huaijiang Observatory, or he has been wandering around this vast wilderness, and it is not clear what he is looking for.

Xin Yunmao has existed much longer than the Huaijiang Observatory, but it is better to say that they built the bureau in his area of ​​activity. The two sides have kept their distance from each other.

Before Hu Chenrui took office as the director, he had never seen a deified monster, let alone his character. In fact, he still couldn't figure out Xin Yunmao. Sometimes he thought that the other party was like a wandering soul, and all his emotions had been scattered in the battle, and he didn't care about anything he encountered.

Just like now, Hu Chenrui walked under the stone wall, and Xin Yunmao didn't look back at him.

Xin Yunmao sat alone on a high stone, with his long black hair hanging down, bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, handsome and outstanding, staring at the water motionlessly. If he took a fishing rod, it really meant that he was fishing alone in the cold river snow. But he had nothing in his hands, only a blue-black paper umbrella at his side.

After he took off his veil, he was no longer dressed in modern clothes, but in an ancient green robe. His sleeves fluttered, but one could see dark marks, like ink smeared on light-colored rice paper, or like the corners of his clothes being burned by surging black flames.

These were the scars of dragon flames.

He had been burned through by the black fire, and the other party's hand was cut off.

Hu Chenrui subconsciously looked at the blue-black paper umbrella, then calmly withdrew his gaze and took the initiative to say, "I have something to discuss with you."

Xin Yunmao sat still with his back to him.

Hu Chenrui was not surprised and said to himself: "There is a new human girl named Chu Zhishui in the bureau. You may have met her in the logistics department. She was planning to resign from the bureau today..."

Xin Yunmao was stunned, and he finally turned his head and looked down at Hu Chenrui.

"But we just discussed and decided to let her work in the Economic Development Division, but she wants to transfer you there as well." Hu Chenrui didn't know how to convince the other party, and said stiffly, "In fact, the Godly Lord was not originally a logistics department. At first, he was just looking for a place to rest. Now he's changing to another one..."

Before Hu Chenrui finished speaking, Xin Yunmao said decisively, "Okay."

"Hmm?" "

Okay, okay."

Hu Chenrui racked his brains to prepare a draft when he came, but unexpectedly, Xin Yunmao didn't even listen to the beginning and agreed immediately. He had long been accustomed to the other party's indifferent and indifferent attitude. Now it was the first time he encountered such a quick reply, and he was really uncomfortable.

Seeing Hu Chenrui's confused expression, Xin Yunmao repeated again expressionlessly: "I said yes." "

... Yeah, OK, the Economic Development Department is next to the Logistics Department." Hu Chenrui quickly came back to his senses. He always felt that something was wrong. Anyway, it was not right.

Hu Chenrui thought about it and said something nice in advance to avoid disputes in the future: "God, she is just an ordinary person without demonic aura. If there is any offense in the future, I hope you can forgive me."

The two parties were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, and Xin Yunmao was not considered a staff member in the bureau, but Hu Chenrui was always polite and always addressed her as God, which was very different from many demons. He hoped that the other party would not blame Chu Zhishui harshly, and his attitude became more polite, and he even bowed to salute.

Generally speaking, as long as Hu Chenrui said something like this, Xin Yunmao would not care about it. He was cold and distant, seldom spoke, and never said much. He basically just silently agreed.

But today, Director Hu made things worse. Xin Yunmao did not play by the rules.

"Hu Chenrui, you just met her, didn't you?" He raised his eyebrows, seemed quite disdainful, and mocked, "Don't I know her better than you?"

"..."

This tone was even stranger, as if he was comparing something.

Hu Chenrui pondered for a while, and he finally figured out what was wrong. He didn't know who Xin Yunmao had learned from recently. He had some of the weird human yin and yang characteristics.
