Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

Early Sunday morning.

Tu Yuan originally intended to sleep until seven in the morning, but his long-established biological clock made him wake up naturally before six.

But as soon as I woke up, I was wide awake.

I got up, put on my practice clothes, and then went to the living room.

As usual, I practiced the body-strengthening method.

Two hours later, Tu Yuan stood still.

Tu Yuan glanced at the progress in his mind, but there was still no change.

He wasn't surprised.

The further one progresses in martial arts training, the slower the pace becomes; this is common knowledge known to everyone in the Federation.

He estimated that if he wanted to increase his cultivation progress by 1 point without spending any money, it would take him five days or even longer.

"Besides lacking connections and background, the lack of additional sources of funding is also a major problem for me right now."

"If I relied solely on the federal government's salary and benefits, I probably wouldn't have a chance to become a martial artist until I was thirty."

"For ordinary people, becoming a martial artist at the age of thirty is probably already a stroke of good luck."

"But for me, that's far from enough!"

"While the federal government does not allow federal government employees to engage in business, it does not prohibit their family members from doing so."

"The leaders in Shengyun City who never accept gifts or red envelopes basically have extra sources of income from their families, which allows them to stand tall and proud."

"If I want to move more steadily and correctly within the federal government, I must be like them."

"If the Heavenly Coin provides information about money-making opportunities later, I can find a trustworthy person to make that money."

"I was simply providing them with convenience and insider information within the bounds of the rules."

Tu Yuan had a good understanding of himself.

He cannot be selfless, nor does he want to be a selfless person.

Between idealism and realism, he would choose the latter without hesitation.

Of course, he also respects idealists, and human society needs idealists.

Everyone has their own ambitions.

The world is not simply black and white.

"Heavenly Coins, reveal the information I have today."

[At 9 PM tonight, Wang Qiang, Deputy Director of Xingsheng District Branch, He Bin, Director of the Administrative Affairs Department of Xingsheng District Branch, Sun Guangrong, Deputy Director of Zhenghe Police Station, Shen Xin, the newly appointed Deputy Director of Zhenghe Police Station, Wang Ruzhou, owner of Feihong Credit Company, and Wang Yunlong, General Manager of Yacheng Property, had dinner together at Taoyuan Private Club.]

Upon seeing this intelligence report.

Tu Yuan frowned suddenly.

Shen Xin actually had dinner with Wang Qiang and his group before taking office tomorrow.

He had also heard of Taoyuan Private Club, which was one of the high-end private clubs in Xingsheng District. Not only were the prices high, but it also had a membership referral system.

Ordinary people cannot become members even if they pay money, without a member's referral.

There are prostitutes providing services there, and because they are licensed, it is a legal and compliant business.

The fact that Shen Xin and Wang Qiang's group met and ate in this kind of place clearly indicates that their relationship is not ordinary.

If that's the case, once Shen Xin arrives at Zhenghe Police Station, he will likely be on the same side as Sun Guangrong.

Become Zhang Tao's adversary?

After attending Zhang Tao and Li He's wedding today, people will definitely assume he's Zhang Tao's woman.

Compared to Sun Guangrong and Shen Xin, he himself was more willing to stand on Zhang Tao's side.

"I need to find a way to tell Director Zhang about Shen Xin's relationship with Sun Guangrong in advance."

"Nine o'clock tonight, Peach Blossom Club..."

Tu Yuan noted down the time and address, and already had a plan in mind.

For him, this was also an opportunity to further strengthen his relationship with Zhang Tao.

The Riverside Hotel is located next to the Huaixing River in Xingsheng District.

When Tu Yuan arrived, it was not yet 10 a.m.

As soon as I entered the riverside hotel, a waiter came up to me.

After learning that Tu Yuan was a guest attending Zhang Tao and Li He's wedding banquet, he personally led Tu Yuan to a reception hall on the left side of the second floor.

A gift table is set up at the entrance of the reception hall, which is where gift money is given.

After Tu Yuan handed over his red envelope, the servant registered Tu Yuan's name in the gift book.

Tu Yuan gave a considerable sum of money, a total of three thousand.

This number was also chosen after careful consideration.

In Shengyun City, wedding gifts typically range from four hundred to eight hundred yuan.

However, if Tu Yuan wants to advance in his career, he cannot accept the usual monetary gifts.

Therefore, the amount of money given as a gift should exceed the normal standard, but it cannot be too much, otherwise it will seem too materialistic.

Especially leaders like Zhang Tao who are relatively upright.

Three thousand is a suitable amount for a wedding gift.

The reception hall is furnished with many small glass coffee tables, and single sofas are placed around the tables.

The reception hall was already quite crowded. Some were playing cards, some were eating sunflower seeds and playing on their phones, and a few children were laughing and playing.

Among them, Tu Yuan saw many familiar faces.

For example, Deputy Director Zheng Hai, Instructor Xu Zhanqing, Patrol Team Leader Fang Ming, and some other junior leaders in the institute.

Tu Yuan looked at the surrounding furnishings and the number of people present.

He thought to himself, "Aside from lacking the complicated procedures of a normal wedding, this is not much different from having a grand and lavish one."

After Tu Yuan arrived, many people glanced at him.

Some of the women in the room would glance at him every now and then.

Among these gazes was Gong Yuanyuan, the deputy director of the lottery center's office.

She hadn't originally planned to attend Zhang Tao's wedding banquet today; it was her mother who received the invitation.

When her mother asked her if she wanted to come along, her first reaction was to refuse.

But when she heard it was Zhang Tao, the director of Zhenghe Police Station, she agreed.

Because she remembered that Lu Guoqing said that Tu Yuan was a trainee police officer at Zhenghe Police Station.

After agreeing, she couldn't help but regret it.

Tu Yuanming was just an ordinary trainee police officer, so how could he possibly be invited to the station chief's wedding?

Ke Da agreed, since she rarely spends time with her mother on holidays, so she simply came along.

Gong Yuanyuan was surprised that Tu Yuan was actually invited to the director's wedding.

It seems that Tu Yuan is doing quite well at the Zhenghe Police Station, much better than she had imagined.

"Yuanyuan, what are you looking at?!"

Gong Yuanyuan's mother, Liao Qian, noticed that her daughter's gaze kept drifting in the same direction.

After asking the question, he followed Gong Yuanyuan's gaze.

Upon seeing Tu Yuan, a smile crept onto her lips:

"Are they looking at a handsome guy?!"

Gong Yuanyuan withdrew her gaze, her face remaining calm and composed.

"No, Mom!"

"That person's name is Tu Yuan. I know him. We used to go to the same high school. He was my junior."

Liao Qian's smile remained unchanged; she knew her daughter well enough.

Many men pursued her daughter, including some who were quite eligible in every way.

But even her daughter didn't like her.

She rarely saw her daughter pay so much attention to a man.

However, since Gong Yuanyuan said that, she naturally wouldn't expose her.

On the other hand, Tu Yuan was already used to these kinds of looks.

Without changing his expression, he walked straight to Zheng Hai, Xu Zhanqing, and the others.

He greeted the leaders proactively and warmly.

Zheng Hai and Xu Zhanqing both recognized Tu Yuan as a police officer from Zhenghe Police Station, but they couldn't immediately recall Tu Yuan's name.

Fang Ming remembered Tu Yuan, so he immediately replied:

"Tu Yuan, you just arrived? Come and find a seat!"

After speaking, Fang Ming took the initiative to introduce Tu Yuan to Zheng Hai, Xu Zhanqing and others.

"Tu Yuan, a trainee officer in our security team!"

"He's a nice young man."

"Oh! You're Tu Yuan, the new martial arts practitioner who just registered with the security team yesterday! Not bad at all!"

Zheng Hai laughed, his attitude quite warm.

As the current leader in charge of the security team, he has been paying attention to when officers in the team break through their limits.

After all, it's not uncommon for officers in the station to break through their limits even once a month.

He had planned to call Tu Yuan over on Monday and say a few words of praise and encouragement.

As it turned out, I ran into Director Zhang at his banquet today.

At the same time, he was also secretly wondering, what is the relationship between Tu Yuan and Director Zhang?!

After all, only this many people came to the institute, apart from him and Xu Zhanqing.

The other officers all held at least the rank of third-level police officer or higher, and were considered key personnel in the station.

Tu Yuan wasn't even a first-level police officer; he was just a probationary police officer.
