KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.
The unexpected knocking interrupted the exchange between the man and the Spiritual Beast. The visitor was a Female Official by Zhu Ying's side, seemingly named He Lan.
"What brings you here, Officer He?" Chen Jiuge asked the beautiful Female Official before him.
He Lan covered her mouth with a light chuckle. "Manager Chen, you are too polite. We are not officials and do not deserve the honorific 'Officer.'"
"I am here this time on the orders of Chief Steward Zhu."
"Chief Steward Zhu?" Chen Jiuge furrowed his brow slightly, knowing Zhu Ying to be a person of both great strength and broad-mindedness.
Just as when she had overseen the construction of the Qing Jade Mouse farm, she hardly inquired about the process; only the results mattered to her, and she was very generous with rewards.
"Officer He, has something happened?" Chen Jiuge intended to bribe the Female Official.
