I Want to Slack Off at the Demon Bureau

Chapter 14: 014

Chapter 14The tea garden attack incident clearly alarmed the bureau - it was as serious as thugs barging into a police station to cause trouble, a completely brazen provocation that enraged the leadership. Although the Yellow Fat Man and Black Thin Man loudly protested their innocence, claiming they didn't know about the new human employee at the Observation Bureau, their words did nothing to quell the anger of the supernatural beings at the Observation Department.

Director Hu angrily berated the Observation Department for dereliction of duty, ordering Director Miao to put aside other work and quickly arrest the escaped white-bearded criminal, or he would be held responsible.

That evening, Chu Zhishui received a concerned phone call from Director Hu. At first, she didn't recognize the unfamiliar number, but she recognized his voice when she answered. Hu Chenrui first apologized profusely with guilt, then warmly asked after her wellbeing, promised to give her an explanation, and finally repeatedly hinted that she shouldn't resign - similar to what Hong Ximing had said during the day.

"Director Hu, it's fine, I'm actually okay..." Chu Zhishui said softly, holding her phone in one hand while fidgeting with a flat pendant in the other. "Everyone came very quickly."

"Good, good, I'm glad you're alright. Please don't let this incident create any barriers between us - most supernatural beings aren't like that."

Chu Zhishui smiled and said, "Yes, I know. Don't worry, I won't resign."

"That's good then. Get some rest early, I won't disturb you anymore."

"You get some rest too, Director Hu."

After exchanging pleasantries and hanging up, Chu Zhishui first saved Hu Chenrui's number, then began

Chu Zhishui smiled gently: "No, I just feel your temperament suits the tea garden better than Jin Yu's."

"Temperament?"

"Yes, the tea garden's atmosphere suits you perfectly. Green tea naturally gathers the spirit of heaven and earth, absorbs the radiance of the sun and moon. Plus, tea culture has such a long history, and tea's artistic conception has always been lofty - it really matches your status and taste."

Xin Yunmao's expression softened slightly.

"When I see green tea, I don't think of Jin Yu - I naturally think of you. Look, even your clothes match perfectly..." Her gaze fell on his upper garment as she smiled, "That light cyan color is so elegant."

Xin Yunmao had been maintaining a stern face, but after hearing her words, he softened, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly: "You really think my temperament suits the tea garden better?"

"Absolutely, of course it does." Chu Zhishui showed a flawless smile. "I'm certain no one understands green tea and tea gardens better than you!"

Speaking in riddles while giving pendants, being passive-aggressive and temperamental, while emphasizing inability to respond to human emotions - he had mastered the essence of being a green tea personality, making him the perfect master for the tea garden.
