In recent days, Fang Qinghuai, the owner of the Winter Garden, specially hired a group of people to carry out emergency construction in the greenhouse garden.
The beautiful flower bushes that had been carefully maintained in the past were ruthlessly bulldozed.
It was replaced by a new scenery - a small pond with an area of about fifteen square meters.
The location of the pond is right next to the director's office.
Just open the curtains and enjoy the view of the pond through the glass.
More than ten species of rare aquatic plants and dozens of beautiful aquatic flowers have been transplanted to the bottom of the pond, scattered in the clear water, with many fish playing in it.
Although the pond is small, its layout was designed by a master gardener and is quite pleasing to the eye.
The total cost of labor, design and other expenses is more than one hundred gold coins.
For ordinary people, this is definitely a huge sum of money.
The reason why the Fang family spent so much effort was of course to please the Director.
After all, if Director Cheng stays in Dongyuan for one more day, Dongyuan's reputation will become even louder.
The greater the reputation, the smoother the business of the Fang Chamber of Commerce will be, and the profits earned from this will be much more than a hundred gold coins.
Even a fool can figure this out.
Naturally, the Fang family was afraid that they would not serve them attentively enough.
at this time.
Fang Qinghuai personally led the two servants into the greenhouse garden.
The latter two were carrying a transparent glass fish tank, in which were swimming several small, bright red fish, nearly half a palm in length.
Fang Qinghuai glanced ahead and warned: "There is a narrow corner ahead. You two, please slow down a little. Don't bump into the fish tank!"
Breaking the fish tank is a small matter, but disturbing the director's work is a big deal. You must be careful.
The two servants nodded repeatedly and slowed down as instructed.
soon.
A small pond with rippling water came into view.
Fang Qinghuai urged: "Put the red flame fish into the pond quickly."
The two servants approached the pond and carefully lowered the fish tank. They then held the glass tank together and tilted it at an angle.
"Wow~"
Water splashed everywhere.
A large ripple was caused.
The red fish then fell into the pond.
Fang Qinghuai made a "get out" gesture towards the servant.
The latter immediately carried the fish tank and left.
A few seconds later.
The door to the director's office opened.
The petite and exquisite female secretary Ying Beibei walked out of the office quickly.
Fang Qinghuai immediately said hello: "Secretary Ying, good morning!"
Ying Beibei replied "Good morning", looked at the pond again, and asked: "President Fang, have you put new fish species into the pond?"
Fang Qinghuai said with a smile on his face: "I got a dozen 'red flame fish' from elsewhere, just to decorate the director's office."
Ying Beibei stared at the water and smiled: "I remember that among the ornamental fish, the red flame fish is a relatively rare species.
"The selling price of each red flame fish seems to be no less than eighty silver coins, which is equivalent to several months' salary of ordinary people. These dozen fish are worth more than a dozen gold coins."
The implication is - too extravagant.
Fang Qinghuai gave a small compliment: "Secretary Ying is really well-informed."
He paused and said sternly: "A comfortable office environment will allow the Director to handle official duties better and calm down the chaos in Anhua City as soon as possible."
The subtext is - improving the director's office environment is a move that benefits the country and the people, and is much more important than a dozen gold coins.
Ying Beibei covered her mouth and laughed: "President Fang is really versatile."
Fang Qinghuai left at the right time: "I don't dare to disturb Director Cheng's work. I'll leave first."
Ying Beibei watched the other party leave, then turned and walked towards the office.
*
Dozens of flowers are placed in the director's office, which is more than 30 square meters, transforming the place into a real garden office.
The three captains were sitting on the sofa, looking at the clusters of flowers and smelling the fragrance that filled the room, with admiration in their eyes.
The moment Ying Beibei entered the door, she happened to hear a captain laugh and say: "It is indeed a pleasure to work among the flowers. It is much better than the office of the Inspection Department."
The other two sentry commanders echoed the words.
"That's right!"
"The Director's vision is much better than ours."
Honestly.
The head of a dignified department does not work in his own office, but has an office in a private garden. This is a serious violation of regulations.
If previous directors had done this, they would have been criticized.
But Cheng Han is different.
He became the director when he was less than fifteen years old, and when he was appointed at the critical moment, he came up with a set of plans and quickly changed the turmoil in Anhua City.
He even led the Inspection Bureau to overwhelm the Council Hall, forcing the Grand Consul to give in.
For such a legendary director, doing so has become an anecdote.
Ying Beibei took advantage of the situation and interjected: "Director, Fang Qinghuai just put a batch of red flame fish into the pond. This kind of ornamental fish is quite beautiful."
Cheng Han was a little curious after hearing this. He turned the luxurious office chair and looked at the huge glass wall behind.
Ying Beibei was very smart and quickly walked over and pulled the gauze curtain.
"Uh-huh!"
The sparkling pond caught everyone's eyes.
This moment.
A red flame fish happened to jump up, draw an arc in the air, and fall into the pool.
"Snapped!"
There was a big splash of water.
With the well-designed pool, this scene is really refreshing.
Facing this situation, the three commanders couldn't help but feel envious.
The Director enjoys it so much!
Cheng Han watched a swimming fish dive under the water lotus and ordered: "Chief Zhang, please tell me about the situation in the fifth post area."
Captain Zhang spoke eloquently: “In the past two days, the Fifth Post, in cooperation with the Charity Committee, distributed a large amount of materials to three low-level civilian communities for free.
"After gaining the trust of civilians, we encouraged civilians to report the bad actors, and successfully dug out two Dreamers and as many as forty-two Avengers..."
This method of "distributing materials and encouraging reporting" was successfully implemented once in Ninh Binh Fong and was immediately popularized.
According to Cheng Han's plan, the fifteen outposts will operate in batches.
This is mainly due to material supply constraints.
According to the preliminary statistics of the Charity Commission, the total number of relief targets this time exceeds 80,000 people, and the materials required are huge and it is impossible to raise them all at once.
"During the clearance operation..."
When Commander Zhang said this, he suddenly got stuck.
He clearly saw that the director suddenly waved his right hand towards the pond, and a red flame fish swung its tail fin and rushed over quickly.
The next moment.
A surprising change occurred.
The tail fin of the red flame fish grew rapidly and soon became three times its original length, with more than ten streamers extending out. Three streamers were drawn out from the pelvic fins on both sides.
While swimming, the red streamers swayed gracefully in the water, looking extremely gorgeous.
Ying Beibei's eyes flashed with ecstasy: "So beautiful!"
Others were also dumbfounded.
What method is this?
The entire inspection bureau knows that Director Cheng is proficient in the green coriander talisman, is superb at manipulating plants, and is terrifyingly powerful in combat.
But they didn't expect that the director actually had a magical way to transform animals.
How many tricks does this genius director hide?
Commander Zhang suppressed his surprise and continued: "Two Dream Masters were killed by the Black Armored Army..."
The words are not finished yet.
Stopped again.
Because there are changes in the pond again.
The remaining dozen red flame fish all surfaced from the water.
After one breath.
They all changed their appearance.
The most surprising thing is that each one is different.
Some red flame fish have tail fins that look like flowers;
In some red flame fish, the dorsal fin becomes fan-shaped and the color changes to red and white;
There are also red flame fish whose fins turn into wavy shapes and flash with strange colorful colors.
Look around.
Schools of fish swim in the pool, giving it a sense of wonder and beauty.
Commander Zhang stared blankly for several seconds before continuing: "The four Avengers tried to resist, but were killed on the spot..."
Cheng Han stopped playing with the fish and listened quietly to the report.
This is the new method he recently developed.
In the previous Ninh Binh Fong incident, an inspector general was unfortunately killed. Most of his life was sucked out by a strange phenomenon, and even his body shrank into a dwarf.
Based on this, Cheng Han confirmed his original guess that the power god who was about to resurrect would most likely be the new identity of the Lord of Darkness, or in other words - the Lord of Life.
Because only those who hold the authority of "life" can bestow this kind of magic.
The word "生" in the name of Mengshenghui obviously means "controlling vitality".
And controlling vitality is not only a method of depriving vitality, but also a method of supplying vitality.
The omniscient eye analyzed a large amount of knowledge from it, and then combined it with the deep accumulation in the past to deduce the method of "providing vitality".
The method of transforming the red flame fish is actually to provide vitality.
Not long after.
The three sentry commanders finished their reports and were waiting for the director's instructions.
Cheng Han pondered for a while and suddenly asked a question: "In the gathering area of lower-class civilians, are there many people who have disappeared recently?"
The three captains looked confused.
Apparently the circumstances were not investigated.
Ying Beibei reacted very quickly and immediately asked a question: "Director, are you worried that Meng Sheng will coerce civilians and secretly cause trouble?"
Cheng Han sighed: "It's very likely."
Since the "supply of vitality" he deduced has the ability to transform the red flame fish, doesn't the Meng Sheng Society have similar means?
Of course!
Cheng Han looked solemn: "I have a strong feeling that Meng Sheng will instigate riots everywhere. It's just a superficial method, probably to cover some actions."
According to the deduction results, the possibility is as high as 90%.
Ying Beibei guessed: "Could it be a large-scale blood sacrifice?"
Cheng Han nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
The expressions of the three commanders all changed.
If a blood sacrifice really happened, it would definitely be a big deal.
Cheng Han ordered: "Inform Xuan Pavilion and the Black Armor Army about this first."
If other directors reported unconfirmed speculations, they would definitely be criticized, but he has made great achievements, and even Xuan Pavilion will attach great importance to his opinions.
Ying Beibei immediately responded: "Yes!"
Cheng Han issued another order: "From now on, all outposts will urgently investigate missing persons in low-level civilian areas."
The three sentry commanders responded in unison: "Yes!"
