Chao Yao gently put down the teacup, stroking the rim of the cup with his fingers. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he looked up at Liu Xiangyu with a faint smile.

"Mr. Liu, what you just said really makes me excited. As a national unit, the Special Affairs Bureau's authority and resource advantages are indeed beyond my reach." Chao Yao's voice was soft, but serious.

Liu Xiangyu's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward slightly, and said eagerly: "Ms. Chaoyao, are you willing to consider joining?"

Chao Yao shook his head slightly, the smile still on his face.

"Mr. Liu, don't be impatient. Although I am tempted, I have invested too much effort in this Flower Sea B&B. I can't give up so easily. I want to know, if I join the Special Affairs Bureau, where will my Flower Sea B&B go? It is the result of my years of hard work, just like my child."

Liu Xiangyu sat up straight, crossed his hands on his chest, and said seriously: "Ms. Chaoyao, the Special Affairs Bureau will certainly respect your hard work. We can arrange professional personnel to take care of your Flower Sea B&B and ensure that it continues to operate according to your ideas."

"Moreover, we will also use this place as a research base for the Special Affairs Bureau. In this way, you can continue to participate in the research of B&B flowers and use your talents in the Special Affairs Bureau."

Chao Yao tilted his head slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Mr. Liu, it sounds very tempting. But I have always had my own way of managing this B&B. I am worried that the management model of the Special Affairs Bureau will conflict with my philosophy."

Liu Xiangyu smiled gently, his eyes full of comfort.

"Ms. Chaoyao, the management model of the Special Affairs Bureau is very flexible, especially when it comes to special talents like you. We will fully respect your management philosophy and provide support and assistance when necessary. You still have absolute say in the management of the B&B."

Chao Yao bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination after thinking.

"Mr. Liu, what about the research results? I don't want my flower research results to be used arbitrarily or stolen by others."

Liu Xiangyu immediately became serious and said solemnly: "Ms. Chaoyao, the Special Affairs Bureau has a strict confidentiality system and intellectual property protection mechanism. Each of your research results will be most strictly protected, and you will be the main beneficiary of the results. We encourage innovation and respect the contribution of every member."

Chao Yao let out a light breath, folded his hands on the table, and looked directly at Liu Xiangyu.

"Mr. Liu, your words put me at ease. If that's the case, then I'm willing to join the Special Affairs Bureau. However, I hope we can have a detailed contract that clearly states all the things I just mentioned."

A look of delight appeared on Liu Xiangyu's face and he nodded quickly.

"Ms. Chaoyao, of course. We will prepare the contract as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are fully protected. Welcome to join the Special Affairs Bureau!"

Liu Xiangyu quickly stood up with a warm smile on his face. He extended his hand again and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Ms. Chaoyao, we can go to the temporary office of the Special Affairs Bureau now. Our legal staff are there and can draft a first draft of the contract as soon as possible."

Chao Yao also stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and said with expectation and a hint of caution in his eyes: "Mr. Liu, this is good. The sooner the contract details are finalized, the sooner I can feel at ease."

On the way to the temporary office, Liu Xiangyu introduced some basic information about the Special Affairs Bureau to Chao Yao, such as the office environment and daily work processes.

His tone was brisk and enthusiastic, as if he had already regarded Chao Yao as a member of the Special Affairs Bureau.

"Ms. Chaoyao, we have a special laboratory area in our bureau with the most advanced equipment. You can use it freely according to your research needs."

Chao Yao listened attentively, nodding in response from time to time, her eyes revealing curiosity and longing.

"Mr. Liu, it sounds really good. I hope I can adapt to the work there as soon as possible."

After arriving at the temporary office, Liu Xiangyu took Chao Yao to meet the legal staff.

The legal staff greeted Chao Yao politely, and then began to ask in detail about the details of the terms they had previously discussed.

Chaoyao also elaborated on his ideas in great detail, such as the contingency plans for handling special situations in the operation and management of the Flower Sea B&B, and special situations that need to be noted when sharing research results.

She has a rigorous attitude and speaks clearly.

Liu Xiangyu occasionally added some regulations and customary practices of the Special Affairs Bureau to ensure that the contract met Chao Yao's requirements and was within the rules framework of the Special Affairs Bureau.

While the legal staff was drafting the initial contract, Liu Xiangyu took Chao Yao to visit some of the facilities at the temporary office, including a small flower research and display area.

When Chao Yao saw some rare flower samples in the display area, her eyes sparkled with excitement. She offered some insights about flowers from time to time. Liu Xiangyu listened carefully and felt that Chao Yao's joining would bring new vitality to the Special Affairs Bureau.

After the first draft of the contract was completed, the legal staff handed the contract to Chao Yao and Liu Xiangyu.

Chao Yao read every clause carefully, her brows sometimes furrowed slightly, sometimes relaxed, and occasionally she would use a pen to mark some places that needed modification.

Liu Xiangyu waited patiently on the side, answering Chao Yao's questions about the wording of the terms from time to time.

After several hours of repeated discussions and revisions, the contract was finally finalized.

When Chao Yao signed his name, his expression was solemn and firm.

Liu Xiangyu also showed a satisfied smile. He stretched out his hand and said to Chao Yao, "Ms. Chao Yao, welcome again to join the Special Affairs Bureau. I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Chao Yao held Liu Xiangyu's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I hope I can make a difference in the Special Affairs Bureau."

Afterwards, Liu Xiangyu took Chao Yao to meet some key members of the Special Affairs Bureau and introduced Chao Yao's situation to them.

Chao Yao also greeted everyone politely. Her eyes were full of determination, and she was ready to embrace the new job and new life in the Special Affairs Bureau.
