It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 553: When the quantity is insufficient, make up for it
"That's right. It's a great honor to admit your mistakes and improve. With an executive like you, Green Shade Culture has a promising future."

Liu Zheng said with a look of relief.

"Mr. Liu, you're joking. How can I, a deputy director, be considered an executive?"

Deputy Director Li smiled bitterly.

"Not now, but in the future. Last time, I helped your company eliminate so many bad coins. It's time for you, the good coin, to take the place."

He said loudly.

"Mr. Liu, let's talk about this in private. Some people may feel uncomfortable hearing this."

Deputy Director Li smiled and said.

"If you feel uncomfortable, listen more. You will feel better after listening more."

Liu Zheng said nonchalantly.

But he didn't say anything else. Some things should just be said briefly.

"The company would like to entrust you to help find the mother and daughter. The company can guarantee that as long as they cooperate, they will never use violence against them and will guarantee their future lives."

Deputy Director Li said.

Obviously, this condition was also due to the preferential treatment given by Liu Zhengcai.

“I can’t answer it.”

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"It's not that I don't want to give you face, nor am I being a big shot. I just really don't have time. I can tell you that there are commissions for the city hall, sewers, cemeteries, and restaurants that haven't been completed yet. But there are even more things that I can't tell you about."

"It's no exaggeration to say that even the director of the city hall may not be as busy as me. I'm spending money on buying cabbages, but I'm worrying about buying a white dragon."

He sighed.

"So Mr. Liu likes to eat cabbage? It just so happens that I have a relative who grows vegetables outside the city, so I asked him to pick out some good ones and send them over."

Deputy Director Li said.

"No, I'm just giving you an example. Well, that's not right, I really like eating. Okay, then give me some."

Liu Zheng gave up explaining.

Favors are about give and take. One-sided gifts can easily turn a great favor into a great hatred.

Moreover, it is not good for cows and horses, which are herbivores, to eat only meat all day long. It is just right to give them some green food to nourish their stomachs.

"Okay, I'll call you then."

"Just have someone take him to the Imhotem clinic. I go there often anyway."

He said.

He planned to ask everyone he could think of who had "fire". Anyway, the gravekeeper didn't say how much he wanted, so if there was extra, he could save it and renew it later.

"no problem."

Deputy Director Li suddenly made a listening expression.

"Mr. Liu, the company hopes that you can help rescue the mother and daughter. If you can rescue both of them, the company can give you another million in compensation."

After a moment, it said.

"This is fine."

Liu Zheng nodded.

When it comes to saving people, the most troublesome part is the preliminary investigation and preparation, while the final action is actually the simplest.

Anyway, he didn't have any psychological burden, so he used the Russian rescue method directly, letting the lives of the hostages and the criminals take precedence.

"But I don't need one million. Give me another one of the bombs you used to blow up Hongsen Culture last time."

Liu Zheng said.

Given the power of the Shark Missile, even if it wasn't painted red, it should be enough to blow up lottery shops.

"Please wait a moment. Let me ask something."

Deputy Director Li pretended to listen again.

"The company said that it is no longer available."

A few minutes, it said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter if they're not that powerful. Just get a few more and you can make up for the shortfall."

Liu Zheng took a step back.

"So when do you want it?"

Deputy Director Li asked.

"The sooner the better. You know my character. The more dedicated someone is to helping me, the more dedicated I will be to helping him."

He said.

"I understand. I will emphasize this to the company."

Deputy Director Li nodded.

"It's time, sign for the takeaway."

Liu Zheng looked at the time and handed the takeaway to it.

"I know it's inconvenient for Mr. Liu, so I won't invite you upstairs for tea. This is the tea I just got. The quality is pretty good. You can take it back and try it."

Deputy Director Li also handed over the box he had been hiding behind him.

Liu Zheng took the box and opened it. Inside was a round tea cake with a pattern of a five-clawed coiled dragon printed on it, surrounded by a circle of auspicious clouds.

The tea cake is dark brown in color overall, but there are red veins in the leaves, like capillaries.

"Name: Phoenix Blood Pu'er Small Dragon Ball"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: After use, the player's physical strength will be increased by 2. This is only effective for the first use."

"Note: The tea made from the Phoenix Blood Tea Tree is very popular among the upper class, especially dragons and birds. Because the Phoenix Blood Tea Tree has withered, this tea is no longer available. It is not recommended to drink it in front of the Phoenix Clan."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Let's not talk about whether your suggestion is doubting my intelligence. Where can I find a phoenix?"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

“Oh, it seems that there is.”

There is one locked up in Si Xue's office, and there is also a plane tree waiting to become a phoenix egg.

"This tea is produced from the Phoenix Blood Tea Tree, but the last Phoenix Blood Tea Tree withered ten years ago. The Liuyu Tea Shop, which produces Phoenix Blood Tea, has offered a high reward for anyone who can find a living Phoenix Clan member or any information about them."

Deputy Director Li introduced.

"Oh. Huh?"

He frowned when he heard the last sentence.

"The phoenix will not stop unless it is on the Chinese parasol tree, will not eat unless it is on the lian fruit, and will not drink unless it is on the sweet spring, so its body and mind are pure. The tea tree watered with its blood is indeed a treasure among teas."

Deputy Director Li suddenly pulled Wen.

"You know everything about this?"

Liu Zheng said something without any context.

"It's hard to say. I just heard from a tea friend that Liuyu Tea seems to be planning to drive up the price of Fengxuetuan tea. And I checked and found that they don't have any debt crisis recently, nor do they have any plans to expand their business. This is very strange."

Deputy Director Li said.

The high prices are definitely for the purpose of shipping in large quantities, but for a truly premium product like Fengxuetuan Tea, it is definitely best to keep it and wait for it to appreciate in value.

Liuyu Tea Company had no debt and was not expanding, so there was no urgent need to raise funds and no need to ship Fengxuetuan Tea in bulk.

If we rule out other unknown factors, there is only one possibility.

Liuyu Tea Shop has found a new phoenix, or knows the whereabouts of the phoenix.

"Have a heart."

Liu Zheng patted Deputy Director Li on the shoulder.

Being able to learn such important news in a casual chat shows the ability of Deputy Director Li, but it also reflects that he is really concerned about Liu Zheng's affairs.

"As long as we are not enemies, I will do my best to be Mr. Liu's friend."

Deputy Director Li said with a smile.

"We are all friends now, why are you still calling me Mr. Liu?"

Liu Zheng frowned deliberately.

"So, Ah Zheng?"

Deputy Director Li shouted tentatively.

"That's right, Lao Li."

He patted the other person's shoulder hard again.

"Haha. Do you want me to call Manny down so you two young people can have a chat? You're both busy with work, and it's not easy for you to see each other normally."

After exchanging titles, Deputy Director Li spoke more casually.

"No need. If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if we're together day and night. Let's go."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he got into his sports car and drove away.

As the sports car drove away, a hunchbacked insect walked out of the office building.

It was leaning on a cane, walking unsteadily, and looked very old.

However, its skin color is a bright green, and its body is not covered with a shell like ordinary alien insects, but is full of flesh, which looks plump and cute.

"Mr. Cai." Deputy Director Li saluted respectfully when he saw it come out.

"Ah."

The green worm nodded casually.

"Do you think what he said is true?"

It asked, its voice weak.

"It should be true. As Mr. Liu said, he has no need to lie to us."

Deputy Director Li replied.

"It's so sad and ridiculous that a small delivery man can be so arrogant and we can't refute him."

The green worm sighed.

"Those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. The employees of the Bloody Restaurant are legal desperadoes. Our company is a law-abiding citizen. It is inevitable to make some compromises in order not to affect the overall situation."

Deputy Director Li comforted.

"Well, you're pretty good. I'll nominate you as director at the personnel meeting next month."

The green worm said with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Mr. Cai."

Deputy Director Li was overjoyed.

Although Green Bug is not the largest shareholder, he has many influence within the company and extensive connections in politics and business circles, so he has a lot of say.

With its nomination, the position of director is basically secure.

"What about Wang Manni?"

Deputy Director Li asked hesitantly.

"She can't do that. She was promoted too quickly. Unity within the company is also part of the overall situation."

The green worm shook his head and said.

"Yes. I will do a good job of counseling."

Deputy Director Li said.

"Yes. But in addition to job promotion, other resources can still be tilted towards her. By the way, isn't there a city-wide executive training class in a few days? I'll give my place to Wang Manni and let her go in my place."

The green worm thought for a moment and said.

"She will be so happy then."

Deputy Director Li said with some envy.

The executive capacity training courses held by the city's No. 1 university are not a scam. Those who attend are all business elites, and the teachers are top professors who are proficient in both theory and practice. If you can participate in this kind of training course, you will have a truly promising future.

"By the way, Mr. Cai, do you have a look at the bomb that Mr. Liu wanted?"

He remembered and asked.

"I'll call and ask right now. Bomb it, bomb it as hard as you can. As long as he doesn't bomb the City Hall, the more places he bombs, the more insignificant we will appear. Hehehe!"

The green worm smiled maliciously.
-
"I am back!"

Liu Zheng pushed open the door of the lounge and shouted.

"You look like you've eaten Napoleon's chicken shit. Was the ritual successful?"

Niuma asked lazily.

"It was a great success. Look, sir."

He took out the third-grade golden lotus seeds as a treasure.

The light was flowing and the aura was dense, dazzling the cattle and horses so much that they narrowed their eyes.

"Damn it, I don't know what blessing you have, to always be able to get such good things."

Niuma said with some jealousy.

"High risk, high reward. If you were to go through the same trouble as I did, I wouldn't know if you could survive, but you would definitely not be able to have a wife and children."

Liu Zheng said.

"Well, that's true. Forget it, you should cultivate this blessing yourself."

The cattle and horses extinguished the little ambition that had been ignited with great difficulty.

"Don't sleep yet, boss. Please make a phone call to the boss for me."

He pushed the cow and horse and said.

"You've been summoned by your boss so many times, but you still don't have her phone number?"

"No. You are the department head. Whether I want to see the boss or the boss wants to summon me, I can't go past you."

He said.

"Well, that's true. Tell me what you want to do first."

Niuma said.

If Liu Zheng goes crazy and makes any excessive demands, it will also suffer as well.

"I want to borrow some light from the boss."

He told Niuma about the deal he had made with the gravekeeper.

"It's not easy to make a fire. Just go buy a few tons of gasoline and put it in there to burn it."

Niu Ma's attitude towards the big guys other than Si Xue and Oyinke was more casual.

"You can't be too careless about quality. Boss, please help me~"

Liu Zheng begged.

"Stop, stop, stop, this is disgusting. I'm not Britain and I have no interest in males. I'll help you beat it, okay? I really owed you that in my last life."

Niuma said quickly.

"Hey, thanks, big guy."

Under his gaze, Niu Ma reluctantly called Si Xue.

"Boss, sorry to bother you."

"It's not me, it's the new guy who wants to see you."

"Okay, I'll have him see you right away."

Niu Ma finished the call with a nod and a bow.

"Whoo~"

After hanging up the phone, it breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's all your fault, kid. You made me break out in a sweat again."

The cows and horses complained.

"Thank you for your hard work. But sir, why are you so afraid of the boss? I think she is pretty easy to talk to."

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"That's because you are useful, but that kind of usefulness itself comes at a huge risk, just like a death squad. No leader would be unreasonable to his death squad."

Niuma sneered.

"It's better to be useful than useless."

He said with a grin.

"Let's see how long you can be of use, humph!"

The cattle and horses ignored him again.

"I went to see the boss."

Liu Zheng smiled and left the lounge.

When he reached the fork in the road, the elevator was waiting for him as expected.

"Good afternoon, Elevator Man."

Liu Zheng walked into the elevator and greeted the latter.

"Bang!"

The elevator vibrated in response.

"I brought back some drinks and desserts from Bad Luck Coffee, but I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring them with me. If you need them, just shake them twice and I'll bring them to you next time."

He said.

Although bringing drinks and desserts to an elevator sounds abstract, this is the metropolis, and everything is possible.

"Bang!"

The elevator vibrated, apparently meaning it was unnecessary.

"Okay. That's a shame."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

It is not abstract when it should be abstract, which is also a characteristic of the metropolis.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened and he came to Si Xue's office again.

Today's office is in pastoral style, with square paddy fields divided by crisscrossing field paths. The rice in the paddy fields is lush and growing well.

Si Xue was wearing a patched cloth dress, with her hair tied up with a wooden chopstick. She was sitting on a stone peeling corn, looking like a village woman.
