Chapter 194: Essential Workplace Skills
Upon reaching the Demon Slaying Department, Qin Feng, accompanied by Lan Ningshuang, arrived at the house where Chief Zhou resided.
Since he had to check in here every day, it was naturally essential to showcase himself in front of the leaders!
Upon entering the room, besides Chief Zhou, Qin Feng also saw a familiar face, none other than Si Zheng.
At this moment, Si Zheng sat in front of the desk with a troubled expression, flipping through the numerous documents piled up to his head.
Beside him, Chief Zhou wore a stern expression, seemingly supervising the work.
Looking at the mask of pain on Si Zheng’s face, Qin Feng expressed deep sympathy, realizing that the weight of authority could be overwhelming.
However, Qin Feng also understood that Chief Zhou was intentionally training Si Zheng.
Otherwise, with the status of Thirty-six Stars, how could he waste his time and stay in Jinyang City?
“I wonder how long it’s been since Mr. Si visited the brothel and enjoyed the fragrance of the grasslands.” Qin Feng thought somewhat mischievously.
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Kai turned his head, “You’re here?”
Qin Feng clasped his fists and bowed, “I came to see if there’s anything the junior can help with.”
Zhou Kai shook his head, “During the recent outbreak of the fire poison, you also worked hard. Now that the fire poison has been cleared, there’s nothing for you at the moment.”
“That’s good then.” Qin Feng nodded slightly.
When Si Zheng heard the voice, he was about to raise his head to greet, but Chief Zhou stopped him, “The documents have not been reviewed yet, and you’re already distracted?”
“Apologies for the reprimand, Chief Zhou,” Si Zheng glanced at the numerous documents, looking anxious.
Qin Feng chuckled at the scene and suddenly caught a whiff of something. Turning his head, he saw a pot of flowers on a nearby table.
Snow-white in color, with lush green branches and leaves.
Especially the faint fragrance of the flowers, refreshing and invigorating.
Qin Feng, well-versed in various books, naturally recognized the flower, “Snow Leaf? This flower is really rare, where did it come from?”
Chief Zhou glanced at it and smiled, “It was sent by the people of the city, expressing gratitude for my contributions to Jinyang City. I initially didn’t want to accept it, but the gesture was too sincere to refuse.”
Qin Feng praised, “Chief Zhou’s actions are seen by the people of the city, and they naturally admire you. Snow Leaf is not easy to find, so the person who sent the flowers must have put a lot of thought into it.”
“With flowers as a metaphor for a person, it seems that the intention is to express that Lord Zhou is as pure as the snow in these white leaves, with noble character. Wherever he goes, he leaves behind a fragrant presence.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai stroked his beard and shook his head with a wry smile.
Who doesn’t like to hear compliments? Especially such high-quality ones?
Qin Feng looked at the expression of the other person and was quite satisfied. No matter where you go, learning to flatter leaders is a necessary skill!
“Oh, Chief Zhou, have you got any clues about the person behind the scenes who caused the fierce battle between Bi Fang and Xie Hui?” Qin Feng seemed to think of something and curiously asked.
Zhou Kai’s smile faded, and he shook his head, “Mu Youqian did not see the other person’s face, and the one chasing him did not use any exceptional skills. It was just the shadow of the hundred ghosts and the black coffin, combined with the divine martial energy, that’s all. It’s too difficult to find any traces based on these clues alone.”
“But it’s not entirely impossible either. Those people went to great lengths for Bi Fang’s head. As long as the head is not found, they won’t give up. A few days ago, the ashes that filled the sky must have exposed Bi Fang’s aura. I think those people are likely on their way here, or even lurking in the city already.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned. The person who intervened in the battle between Bi Fang and Xie Hui and shot Bi Fang’s head with an arrow at the critical moment is undoubtedly extraordinary. If these people really come to Jinyang City, there will inevitably be another confrontation.
He suddenly understood why Mu Youqian, after sealing Bi Fang’s head in the Soul Sealing Coffin, did not leave but chose to stay. Perhaps he was also afraid of being intercepted and having Bi Fang’s head taken away on the way back.
“With Chief Zhou here, those petty individuals should think twice before taking any action.” Qin Feng said.
“I hope so.” Zhou Kai frowned slightly.
At this moment, Qin Feng looked at the pot of Snow Leaf again and sighed, “This flower is beautiful, but it’s a pity. Snow Leaf is suitable for growing in humid places, but Jinyang City is too far south and has a dry climate. If you don’t take care of it carefully, it will easily wither.”
“Unexpectedly, there is such a saying.” Zhou Kai was somewhat surprised. “Such a beautiful and fragrant flower, it would be a pity if it can’t be kept for a long time.”
“You don’t have to worry too much, my lord. I’ve read some books and know a method. As long as you water the flower at specific times to keep it moist, you can make it last longer.”
Qin Feng took out a piece of paper from the Spatial Ring and wrote down the detailed schedule for watering the flowers.
It’s worth mentioning that, initially, in order to carve the inscription for Senior Li, he practiced calligraphy for seven days. Now, although his calligraphy may not be considered refined, it is vigorous and well-structured.
After handing the paper to Chief Zhou, Qin Feng suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something, “I almost forgot. This is the historical reference book that Chief Zhou asked me to find.”
Zhou Kai looked at the book handed to him, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly composed himself. He took the book without a trace and smiled, “I’ve been searching for this book for a long time. You’ve been of great help.”
“It’s what a junior should do. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. Also, please don’t forget to water the flowers on time. The Snow Leaf is quite delicate.” Qin Feng reminded.
“Alright.”
As the two left, just as they stepped out of the door, at the corner, a colleague from the Demon Slaying Department was standing, holding a stack of official documents.
They nodded to each other and then passed by.
After the person with the documents entered, Qin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if contemplating something.
“Young master, why aren’t we leaving?” Lan Ningshaung asked curiously.
“Oh, I just remembered something.”
“Then, young master, where are we going next?”
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and replied, “Bao Medical Hall, it’s been some time since I last visited.”
“Chief Zhou, these are the official documents to be reviewed today.”
“Put them here.” Zhou Kai said indifferently.
The man followed orders, placed the documents down, and then subtly glanced at the papers on the table.
These were notes left by Qin Feng earlier, detailing the times for watering the plants, even down to the exact moments.
The man, with his head lowered, revealed a hint of mocking expression on his face, but quickly restrained it. He then stood up, bid farewell, and left.
Si Zheng raised his head to look at the newly arrived documents, beginning to question life. How long would it take to review all these documents?
Just then, Chief Zhou spoke, “I’ll take care of the remaining documents. You may leave now.”
Si Zheng felt as if he had been granted amnesty. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hastily made his exit.
Once he left, Zhou Kai didn’t immediately start reviewing the documents. Instead, he looked towards the place where Qin Feng had left behind the “Chronicles of the World” lost in thought, and then slowly began to browse through it.
