Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 295 Night Tour Division Headquarters

Shengyuelou is worthy of being the premier restaurant in the capital. All the dishes in the restaurant are carefully prepared, with great color, aroma and taste. Each dish is like a fine work of art.

Li Zhi sat at the table, savoring this rare delicacy to his heart's content. He satiated his appetite and ate to his heart's content, feeling completely satisfied.

Hong Fan looked at Li Zhi's satisfied expression, laughed, and then said: "Are you full? After you've eaten, let's go to the office to report first."

Li Zhi nodded gently after hearing this. However, he was a little confused. He was clearly on vacation, but why did he have to report to the department? After all, he had just joined the Night Tour Department and had little experience. Naturally, Hong Fan, the experienced old bird, had the final say, and he only needed to follow the arrangements.

Just like that, the two of them stood up and left the table, slowly walking out of the box.

When passing by the box where Zhao Bao was, Hong Fan paused for a moment, then asked the waiter beside him in a low voice: "Is Mr. Bao still in there?"

When the waiter heard Hong Fan's question, he nodded quickly and said in a low voice, "It's still inside."

Hong Fan thought for a moment, then turned to Li Zhi and said, "Wait for me here for a while. I'll go in and say hello to Master Bao."

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the box alone.

Li Zhi knew that Hong Fan had previously declined Zhao Bao's invitation and was about to leave. It was only right for him to inform Zhao Bao in order to avoid accidentally offending this noble man who had an influential position and brought himself into unnecessary trouble.

After a while, Hong Fan slowly walked out of the box. Li Zhi glanced at Hong Fan casually, and saw that his face was red and he was emitting a strong and pungent smell of alcohol. He knew in his heart that Hong Fan was probably forced to drink a lot of alcohol by Mr. Bao in the box.

"Are you okay?" Li Zhi hurriedly took a few steps forward, approached Hong Fan, and asked in a low voice.

Hong Fan raised his hand slightly, waved it, and said, "It's okay..."

As he spoke, Hong Fan turned to look at the waiter beside him. His expression regained some composure and he asked, "How much is this meal, Master Bao? I'll pay for it."

The waiter was also a smart guy. Upon hearing what was said, he immediately took Hong Fan and Li Zhi to the front desk to pay the bill.

Li Zhi stood aside and glanced casually at the bill. It didn't matter what he saw, he was suddenly shocked.

Although the cost of this meal between him and Hong Fan was not cheap, it was still within an acceptable range and not too outrageous.

However, the amount of consumption in Mr. Bao's box was more than ten times that of Li Zhi and his friends. Li Zhi couldn't help but be shocked by the long string of numbers.

Even though Li Zhi didn't pay for it, he couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw the high amount of money. He thought to himself that even though Hong Fan's salary was not low and his family was quite rich, he would probably have to spend a lot of money this time. This was not a small amount of money.

After the two of them walked out of Shengyue Tower, Hong Fan seemed to be keenly aware of what Li Zhi was thinking. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Li Zhi and smiled, and said, "These are just small amounts of money. Master Bao has always been very generous. As long as you work sincerely for him, he will definitely pay you back tenfold of the money you spend on him in the future..."

Hearing Hong Fan say this, Li Zhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly understood the interests involved. It turned out that it was just a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.

Moreover, looking at Hong Fan's face, which looked a little tired but faintly revealed a hint of expectation, it was obvious that he knew Master Bao's temper very well and was sure that Master Bao would not treat him unfairly.

Li Zhi nodded silently without saying anything more.

Just like that, the two of them walked side by side along the bustling streets of the capital, heading towards the headquarters of the Beijing Night Tour Bureau.

Along the way, Li Zhi's eyes kept moving between the surrounding street scenes and pedestrians. He secretly admired the prosperity and majesty of the capital city. At the same time, he was full of curiosity and anticipation for the Night Tour Headquarters that he was about to arrive at.

After a while, the magnificent headquarters of the Night Patrol came into their sight.

Compared with the Yeyousi Yamen in Minglei City, this place is undoubtedly much larger, more grand in scale, and the architectural style is more solemn and dignified.

The gate of the yamen was open, and there were two guards with solemn faces standing upright on both sides of the door, like two majestic statues, guarding quietly.

Hong Fan stepped forward steadily and skillfully handed out his Night Tour Commander card from his arms.

One of the guards quickly reached out to take it, then checked it very carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he held Hong Fan's token respectfully with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and said respectfully: "Greetings, sir. Please come in."

Hong Fan nodded calmly, reached out to take back his badge, and then strode straight into the yamen with his head held high.

Seeing this, Li Zhi also hurriedly quickened his pace and followed closely behind Hong Fan.

As soon as he stepped into the yamen, Li Zhi was shocked by the scene before him.

A spacious courtyard appeared before my eyes. The ground was paved with smooth stone slabs. It was clean and tidy without a trace of impurities.

The courtyard is surrounded by lush pines and cypresses, which are tall and straight with luxuriant branches and leaves. Their branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds.

Walking along the bluestone path in the middle of the courtyard, you can see a magnificent main building.

This building has flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings. Every detail demonstrates exquisite craftsmanship and ancient cultural heritage.

Hong Fan took Li Zhi into the main building, which contained a huge hall.

There were rows of neatly arranged tables and chairs in the hall, all made of fine mahogany, with a solid texture and fine grain. At this moment, some non-staff members of the Night Tour Division were busy in the hall, sorting out documents or discussing something in a low voice.

One of them saw Hong Fan from a distance and instantly showed a familiar smile on his face, obviously he had known Hong Fan for a long time. He greeted him warmly: "Old Hong? You are here too?"

Hong Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, grinned, and said with a complacent tone: "How can I be left out of such a matter?"

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's true. Everyone knows that you, Old Hong, are a very smart person. How could you miss such a good thing?"

Although there was a hint of joking in his words, there was no malice in them.

Hong Fan was not angry after hearing the man's joke. He just smiled and said, "Okay, register this little brother of mine first. We can go have a drink later when we are free and reminisce about the past."

As he said this, Hong Fan turned around and waved to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi hurried forward. The man looked Li Zhi up and down with a look of scrutiny in his eyes and said, "Are you the newcomer of Class C? Give me the token."

Li Zhi took out the token from his waist and handed it to the man with both hands. He nodded and replied, "Yes, I am the newcomer, Li Zhi."

The man took the token, lowered his head, and concentrated on writing something down in a notebook. The tip of the pen made a rustling sound as it moved across the paper.

After a moment, he returned the token to Li Zhi.

Hong Fan took a quick look and saw that the registration had been completed, so he said excitedly, "Let's go to the treasury."

Although Li Zhi felt a little strange about why Hong Fan didn't need to register, when he heard Hong Fan mention going to the treasury, his original curiosity was instantly replaced by excitement and anticipation of going to the treasury, so he decided to put this question aside for the time being.

After all, the main reason why he traveled a long distance to the capital was to visit the world-famous Yeyousi Treasure House.
