To be honest, after showing off his strength yesterday in front of everyone, Fang Ze had guessed that once he arrived at the Security Bureau today, the attitudes of his colleagues would greatly change.
After all, there was no fundamental conflict between him and his colleagues.
Their resistance to him was simply because they felt his strength didn't match his position.
Now that he'd demonstrated his power, most would probably no longer be so resistant and instead treat him like an ordinary Commissioner.
But… he really didn't expect that his colleagues would give him so much face. It wasn't just a 90-degree change, but a full 180-degree turn in attitude.
Is the world really this pragmatic?
Or… did he scare them yesterday?
Worried that if they disrespected him, he would eliminate them?
Weirdly, Fang Ze felt... perhaps his reputation at the Security Bureau had gone from one extreme to another.
Forget it, too tired. Let it be...
With this thought in mind, Fang Ze headed to Bai Zhi's office, led by a Commissioner.
And just outside Bai Zhi's office, after signaling Fang Ze could go in by himself, the Commissioner made a point to say before leaving, "Commissioner Fang Ze, I am a fourth-level Commissioner at the Security Bureau: Lu Fen. If you need anything, feel free to look for me."
Fang Ze nodded his head in acknowledgment and then watched the Commissioner walk away.
Turning his head, he was a bit puzzled: What was that Commissioner's name again? Lu Feng? Liu Fen? What...
Forget it, it's not important...
After knocking on the door and hearing Bai Zhi's "come in," Fang Ze pushed the door open and walked into the office.
Arriving at the office, Bai Zhi was sitting at her desk, frowning and looking down at some documents.
Seeing her , Fang Ze felt... for her, looking through documents must be a very painful thing.
With this thought, Fang Ze spoke up, "Officer Bai Zhi, you wanted to see me?"
Hearing Fang Ze's voice, Bai Zhi lifted her head from the documents, looked at him, revealed a happy smile, then quickly set the documents aside. She then said to Fang Ze, "You're here?"
"Come. Your bonus has arrived."
As she spoke, Bai Zhi stood up and opened the bookshelf behind her.
There was a safe inside her bookshelf.
Bai Zhi opened the safe and then took out an envelope plus a stack of cash.
Afterwards, she placed both the envelope and the cash on the table and said, "This is 1.1 million Lini. 1 million is on the card, and there is also 100,000 in cash."
"It includes a 500,000 intelligence fee. 600,000 for combat subsidy, reimbursement for your damaged relics, and so on."
Fang Ze took the cash and the envelope, first setting the cash down, and then opened the envelope.
Inside the envelope lay a silver-white card, similar to what Director Pang had given to Fang Ze before. It was called a Credit Certificate.
It's this world's version of a bank card, able to store cash.
Bai Zhi brought out a device, picked up the card, and touched it against the device, immediately displaying the balance inside.
It was 1 million Lini.
Then, in front of Fang Ze, she counted the cash.
Once everything was accounted for, she said, "Is everything okay?"
"Then I'll give you the money. Make sure to keep it safe and don't lose it."
Fang Ze nodded outwardly, but inside he was somewhat perplexed: Why was the 1.1 million bonus divided into 1 million on a card and 100,000 in cash?
Normally, it should all be in cash, or all on a card, right?
He always felt there was something strange about it.
Bai Zhi, unaware of Fang Ze's suspicions, saw that he had taken the money and then continued, "As for the resources you asked for, I've already dispatched people to procure them. They should be available in a few days."
"You can use your own money to buy some resources and start cultivating in the meantime."
Fang Ze nodded again.
Then, after chatting for a while longer, Bai Zhi didn't hold Fang Ze back but told him to report to the adjacent training center and not be late. She mentioned that she'd visit him when she was free.
And after Fang Ze's daily studies were over, he could return to the Security Bureau to discuss the progress of the cases with her.
She would try to get some intelligence about the Flower Morning Festival from Gu Qing in the next few days.
By then, she would need Fang Ze's help to analyze it.
Fang Ze nodded again and then left Bai Zhi's office with the card and money, preparing to head to the training center.
After Fang Ze had left, Bai Zhi watched his retreating figure, a bit lost in thought...
After a moment, as if she'd thought of something, she sighed slightly and then lowered her head again, starting to wade through the documents with a headache...
Meanwhile, at the Reserve Commissioner training center of the Security Bureau, several Reserve Commissioners were gathered together, gossiping.
They were a group of seven or eight men and women.
Leading was a girl with strange tattoos on her arms and legs, slender waists and legs, appearing somewhat frail but with a distinctly Miao Land charm.
A chubby little guy was fawning over her and said,
"Nan Yi sis, did you hear? We'll get a group of new Reserve Commissioners today, and it seems there will be an officer among them!"
"You know, we are about to finish our training and officially enter the Security Bureau to become intern Commissioners. Instead of passively getting assigned an officer, we should take initiative. Befriend that officer so when the time comes, they might choose us."
The girl referred to as Nan Yi, sitting on the flower bed eating a lollipop, with her cheek bulging on one side, asked curiously, "An officer?"
