More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. The teahouse renovation was completed. After Zhou Yongcheng saw it, he thought it was pretty good and the craftsmanship was indeed excellent.

Zhou Yongcheng then brought over all the custom-made items from the real world and had the robots installed in the teahouse.

With everything prepared, the teahouse opened for business.

The teahouse opened quietly without any firecrackers or advertising.

Regarding the staff, Zhou Yongcheng had Chen Tong hire several women in their twenties to work as waitresses.

In addition to the waiters, there are three chefs.

Although teahouses are not places to eat, they do prepare some pastries and the like.

They also needed to hire people to perform on the stage. After Zhou Yongcheng made the plans, he handed the work over to Chen Tong. He basically didn't care about these things. If he hadn't spent so much time in this world, he probably wouldn't have even opened a teahouse.

The teahouse has been open for almost a week, and although the staff is all in place, there is still no business.

A few people did come in during that time, but they saw that a pot of tea cost at least ten yuan and as much as a thousand yuan. Who could afford that?

Chen Tong reported to Zhou Yongcheng that the tea in the teahouse was too expensive and that ordinary people could not afford it.

Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile, "The tea in our teahouse is not sold to ordinary people."

Chen Tong was helpless; the teahouse was empty every day.

Zhou Yongcheng reassured them that although the teahouse had no business, wages would still be paid monthly.

Zhou Yongcheng paid double wages, more than a thousand yuan a month. The chefs received 30% more, while the opera singers were paid according to the amount paid per performance.

Because the performers are not fixed, today it might be Peking Opera, and tomorrow it might be other plays or other talent shows.

In the lobby on the first floor, since there were no customers drinking tea, the staff listened to traditional opera by themselves.

In his office on the second floor, Zhou Yongcheng was keeping an eye on Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang finally left the school and was about to enter the officialdom. He went to a county in the upper and lower provinces to serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee. The provincial leaders seemed to value him highly.

That night, Gao Yuliang lay in bed unable to sleep. He was going to take up his new post the next day, and he didn't know what the future held. That's how people are; they're always full of speculation about the unknown. The unknown could be a good thing, or it could turn into a bad thing.

Gao Yuliang drifted off to sleep as he pondered these thoughts.

In his dream, Gao Yuliang had a dream.

He dreamed that he entered the officialdom and rose through the ranks step by step, eventually becoming a high-ranking official at the deputy provincial level, but was eventually arrested by his superiors due to his personal conduct and some irregularities.

Startled awake, Gao Yuliang turned on the bedside lamp and checked the time. It was still dark, and he was covered in a cold sweat from the nightmare.

His wife, who was standing next to him, was also awakened by Gao Yuliang's noise.

"Old Gao, what's wrong?"

By the dim light of the bedside lamp, Wu Huifen could tell that Gao Yuliang's complexion was not good.

"It's okay, it's not dawn yet, you can get some more sleep."

Gao Yuliang turned off the bedside lamp so as not to disturb Wu Huifen's sleep.

He quietly left the bedroom and sat on the sofa, pondering the things he had dreamed about.

The dream was so real; it feels like it actually happened.

In his dream, he saw his prized student Qi Tongwei marry Liang Lu, and from then on, his career flourished, eventually leading him to the position of head of the provincial public security bureau.

In his dream, he did many illegal and disorderly things, and finally committed suicide by shooting himself.

He himself was also tricked by Zhao Ruilong and became one of their men.

In the dream, Zhao Lichun actually rose to the rank of deputy national-level official. Although he did reach the rank of deputy national-level official, he still could not escape being purged, after all, he had made too much money in Handong.

Gao Yuliang pondered whether the events in his dream were real, why he was going to take up his post today, and what such a strange dream he had last night meant.

The dark living room was filled with smoke. Gao Yuliang wondered if his future fate would be the same as in his dream, that even after rising to the rank of deputy provincial official, he would eventually be brought down.

As dawn broke, Gao Yuliang, after some thought, realized that since the dream had given him a clue, the Zhao family was definitely not a good family, and he should just take precautions.

After having breakfast, Gao Yuliang said goodbye to his wife and daughter and headed to the Provincial Organization Department.

At this point, Gao Yuliang officially entered officialdom. It remains to be seen whether his actions will follow the original plot after he learns of his fate.

Qi Tongwei has been doing very well in Lincheng for the past year. Although his rank has not been promoted, he has arrested a lot of drug dealers. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate all drug dealers in the area under Lincheng's jurisdiction, it is quite outstanding compared to other cities.

Both the provincial department and the provincial headquarters wanted to transfer Qi Tongwei to the provincial department, but due to pressure from higher-ups, Qi Tongwei could not be transferred.

Besides arresting drug dealers, Qi Tongwei was also secretly carrying out other tasks.

He spent some time and effort to get all the information about Liang Qunfeng. Since you're suppressing me, don't blame me for secretly dealing with you.

Anyone associated with Liang Qunfeng suffered; almost everyone who did bad things was secretly sent to jail by Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei secretly took down many corrupt officials and helped other departments solve many cases, so he was a fairly well-known figure in Lincheng.

In the past year, Qi Tongwei has accumulated several hundred merits. With more merits, he naturally has more to spend.

He has already reached the second generation of enhancement potions and wanted to start using the third generation. However, the third generation enhancement potions are really expensive, costing one hundred merit points per potion. He currently only has less than one hundred merit points and cannot afford them.

However, Qi Tongwei felt that using the second-generation enhancement potion was enough, because the system told him that he could live to be around two hundred years old, and his strength had reached more than a thousand kilograms.

When Zhou Yongcheng saw Qi Tongwei, he felt as if he were seeing a clean-up official.

This is good, at least it can purify the bureaucracy and let those corrupt officials receive the punishment they deserve.

Inside the teahouse, Zhou Yongcheng glanced at the first floor and shook his head. In an era where monthly income was less than a thousand yuan, would such a high-end teahouse have any business?

Zhou Yongcheng estimates that the teahouse's business will only improve once discerning customers promote it.

More than a week passed, and the teahouse still had no business.

Around 2 p.m. that afternoon, two stylishly dressed middle-aged men entered the teahouse.

"Brother Feng, the smell in this teahouse is wonderful, can you smell it?"

"It smells really good; this fragrance makes me feel happy."

When Chen Tong saw the guests arrive, he hurriedly went to greet them.

"Hello, guest."

"Could you please tell me about your teahouse?" Feng Weixing asked with a smile.

"Our teahouse was just renovated not long ago. The first floor has regular tea seating, and the second floor has private tea rooms. Would you like to go to the first floor or the second floor?" Chen Tong introduced to the two guests with a smile.

"Could you please tell us what good teas your esteemed teahouse offers?" Xiao Shan asked.

"Our teahouse only offers three types of tea: one is called 'Secondary Spirit Tea,' which costs ten yuan per pot; another is called 'Elementary Spirit Tea,' which costs one hundred yuan per pot; and the third is called 'Premium Spirit Tea,' which costs one thousand yuan per pot." Chen Tong looked at the two guests somewhat nervously, afraid that they might storm off, since the tea at their teahouse was indeed too expensive.
