American comic: From Beijing with Love, starting with a mutant.

Xiao Liu parked the car at the entrance of the courtyard house, and Zhou Xingxing got out of the car carrying a wooden box containing a quirky gun.

"By the way, Director Zhou, this is the professional evaluation form for the newly recruited personnel! Director Wang wants you to submit your preliminary comments tomorrow morning."

Four documents were handed out of the car window.

Zhou Xingxing took the document and snorted, "How long have I been here? I haven't written an operation report, and I only got 250 yuan for reimbursement. Now I'm being asked to arrange employment for four people? Even the millstones in the production team would have to request a shutdown for maintenance if they saw me!"

"Director Wang also said that if you don't hand it in, he will personally come to the courtyard to help you write it."

"That's not what you call 'accompanying'! He just sat there staring at people with a cup of goji berry water, like it was a funeral!"

In the end, Xiao Liu, who dared not make fun of his boss, awkwardly laughed and drove away.

Back in his room, Stephen Chow put the box of the quirky gun at the bottom of the wardrobe, and only after washing up did he sit down at the table to look through the documents.

Comprehensive Health and Safety Assessment Report for Individuals with Superpowers

Gegebu, Bailey, Ethan, Olivia.

The ID photos of the four people are placed side by side on the homepage.

They are still staying in the bureau's observation room tonight and haven't come to the courtyard.

Speaking of which, the department has made a lot of progress these days, and they even provide "customized meals" based on the special physiological needs of mutants.

His task tonight is to consider the working direction of these four new comrades in China.

Gegebu wants to raise chickens, and arranging for him to go to a chicken farm would be very suitable, but the chicken farm must be designed according to the standards of an armory.

Stephen Chow, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, flipped to the evaluation page.

I can't renege on the 50 acres of land, and I have to deliver on the promise of the three-bedroom apartment; these are all things I promised before.

The farm must be located far away from residential areas.

The pen tip circled around the map, finally landing on the Ankang mountainous area where Sichuan and Shaanxi meet.

This is a good place.

The local forest coverage exceeds 70%, with large areas of mountains and forests connected together, and there is little industrial pollution.

This place is perfect for Gegebu to raise chickens.

After thinking it over, Stephen Chow called Uncle Biao.

"Hey! Uncle Biao! It's me, Ah Xing!"

Uncle Biao rubbed his eyes, looking at the incoming call with a hint of exasperation: "You'd better have something life-or-death to do calling me in the middle of the night! Don't try to bother me with your expense reports!"

"Why would I need you for something as trivial as an expense report? Let's talk about chicken farming first. Gegebu wants to settle down in the Ankang mountains. You used to work in construction, so I'd like to ask you for some advice!"

"Gegebu? Oh, the kid who came back with you today, right?"

Once he was fully awake, Uncle Biao sat up and leaned against the bed, picking up his personal tablet and starting to work: "Hmm... this place is nice, but with so much woodland, we can't just let chickens roam freely. We need to avoid the ecological red line, have the agricultural department measure the carrying capacity, and design a separate manure treatment system."

"In addition, the breeding area is divided into four plots for rotation. The chicken coops are made of insulating and flame-retardant materials, the manure and sewage area is placed downwind, the feed warehouse is separately fireproofed, and the living area and hatching area are also separated."

Stephen Chow on the other end of the phone quickly took notes and nodded repeatedly.

Stephen Chow, after half an hour of learning from others, finally hung up the phone, satisfied.

After Gegebu finished writing his initial comments, Lao Zhou turned to Baobao's page, which was the page with Bailey Hoskins.

The competency assessment section is empty; it cannot be filled in.

It self-destructs at full power in a single burst, instantly killing the user upon activation.

This ability must not be tested in any form.

Bao Bao doesn't like to talk and is afraid of crowds.

They also didn't want others to get too close, so the archives room was quiet.

Anton is disciplined in his work, but he's just too disciplined!

"Wait a minute, if he reviews the documents with Anton, will there be two people watching me every time I submit an invoice?"

Old Zhou was shocked when he thought about this.

He can't handle it alone, let alone two people?

"Gegebu's side is short-handed, and Bailey is quite familiar with him. Neither of them likes crowds."

"Well... the important thing is that the chickens won't chase after them asking questions."

Whether he goes or not is up to him to choose his job.

As a section-level cadre, Zhou Xingxing shouldn't interfere with a young man's career freedom just to facilitate reimbursement. At most, he can only support him in his heart by keeping him away from the archives.

The next morning.

There were several chairs in the occupational assessment room.

Sitting opposite Stephen Chow is Robert Herman, codenamed Gegebu.

Boom, Bailey Hoskins.

Spots, Ethan Walker.

Flower Bud, Olivia Carter.

Behind them was a chair, where Ororo Monroe and Storm sat by the window, watching with great interest.

"Everyone, relax, don't be nervous!"

Stephen Chow chuckled, "I got back late last night, otherwise I would have treated everyone to a late-night snack. Today, let's finalize the direction for the future, and you can choose your own positions."

Pushing the documents in front of Gegebu, Zhou Xingxing said, "We have a direction for the chicken farm you want. The Ankang mountainous area at the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi has plenty of forests and water resources, making it suitable for free-range ecological farming."

Gegebu picked up the photos and looked them over repeatedly.

"Wow! Does this entire tract of land belong to me?"

"What are you thinking! The mountains belong to the country, and so do the trees. You have fifty acres of legally designated aquaculture area; the procedures will be coordinated by your work unit."

"Really fifty acres? I wonder if they'll make me move again when we get there?"

"I, Zhou, promised you fifty acres, and if I give you even a penny less, it's my dereliction of duty! If I deceive you halfway around the world and then give you nothing but a flowerpot to raise chickens, how am I supposed to be the director after this?"

Gegebu flipped to the chicken breed information page, her eyes lighting up: "Their feathers are so black, is their meat black too?"

"I'll leave this question for you to study later. Don't rush to put it into the pot and verify it. The first batch of chicks is also state property!"

"If you agree, you can learn disease prevention first, and then receive fire safety training. Once you have mastered both courses, I will coordinate the procedures and accommodation. The chicken coop will also be designed specifically for your physical condition."

Gegebu pressed the photo to his chest, grinning foolishly, and said, "I agree, I agree! As long as they let me stay there, I'll learn anything!"

Zhou Xingxing nodded in satisfaction and turned the other job selection screen towards Bao Bao.

"You have two options. Neither side will test your abilities. The underground archives are quiet, the working hours are fixed, and Anton will guide you through the document classification."

"And one more?"

"Go to the chicken farm with Xiaobu. That way you'll have some acquaintances around you. But you'll be exposed to the wind and sun a lot, so you should weigh the pros and cons yourself."

"But..." Bao Bao still hesitated, "I've never raised chickens before, and I don't know if they'll be afraid of me."

"What's the big deal? Look at him, even Gegebu didn't know how to raise chickens when he was born! Who says you have to be born with a professional certificate before you start working? As for whether the chickens are afraid of you, that depends on whether you have feed on hand."

Bao Bao tilted her head to look at Gegebu, then at Zhou Xingxing.

"Why do you want me to go with him? Is it because we both need to stay away from crowds?"

Stephen Chow shook his head. "You're quite adept at guessing the worst, but you're wrong this time."

"You can choose for yourself. It's okay if you don't want either of them. Just tell me what you want to do. You don't have to sign today. If you don't like it after the trial period, you can change."

"The jobs our company assigns you will definitely be jobs that you like and that are suitable for you; we will not make any mandatory requirements."

Bao Bao pursed her lips. "Then I'll go to the chicken farm. The archives are too quiet. I'm afraid I'll keep thinking about the past."

Hearing this, Stephen Chow breathed a sigh of relief.

Gegebu moved closer to him. "Are you really going to come with me? Then we can train together. I'll teach you how to feed the chickens. Newly hatched chicks shouldn't eat anything too hard!"

"Can I learn? I've never taken care of anything alive before."

"Of course! You can even name them!"

Stephen Chow raised his hand to stop the two from continuing their discussion.

"If you name all 20,000 chickens, are you planning to hold 20,000 memorial services when they're ready for market at the end of the year?"
