A month before the warlords moved in, You Tianfu completely took over the dominance of Chinatown, and the territory and power in the city were completely reshuffled. There was no longer a distinction between east, south, west and north, and the division between the big bosses was gone. Instead, there were two divisions: military and civilian.
The military zone refers to the former north of the city, with the north city park as its center, covering a large area around it, leaving enough operating space for Ruan Kaiming to divide.
The civil district was the east, west and north of the city. Now that the three areas were united, the Youtianfu brothers naturally became the rulers of the territory.
After the news of the warlord's arrival spread, almost all forces came to join You Tianfu. Even the bosses of several commercial streets began to find people to act as matchmakers and give gifts to build relationships, hoping to receive more care in the future.
With this new identity, You Tianfu knew he should take on the corresponding tasks and responsibilities, so he chose a date and held a grand banquet in the entertainment city, inviting all the shop owners in the city to the scene and personally made a promise:
"You all place your hopes on Entertainment City because you think highly of our talents. Regardless of whether warlords or the military come to settle here in the future, as long as we brothers remain in Chinatown and as long as everyone conducts business in an orderly manner, we will do our utmost to maintain peace. We Chinese people have only one principle: don't stir up trouble, don't cause trouble, but we are definitely not afraid of trouble!"
The speech drew applause from the audience, and the anxious mood of the crowd was greatly calmed. After leaving the entertainment city, everyone had a smile on their face...
Soon a month passed, and Ruan Kaiming officially moved into Chinatown as planned.
He first sent an advance team of about 200 people. After arriving in Chinatown, they were led by several younger brothers to the North City Park. They cleaned up and renovated the park inside and out, from the layout to the defense facilities, from the internal system to the outer outposts, and carried out a more professional militarized renovation on the original basis.
The North City Park, which was once the nightmare of countless people, has officially become a small-scale military area!
Once everything was ready, Ruan Kaiming and the rest of his troops officially moved in. True to his promise, You Tianfu led a group of his men to the entrance of Chinatown to welcome him, complete with fireworks and banners, creating a grand spectacle that gave Ruan Kaiming plenty of face.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this matter, Zhou Zhengwei had spoken highly of You Tianfu to Ruan Kaiming in advance, which had given Ruan Kaiming a good impression of You Tianfu. Seeing this scene, he was even happier. After meeting You Tianfu under the introduction of the soldier, he nodded repeatedly in praise, "You little fellow, you are very particular!"
Nguyen Kai Minh is a Vietnamese who has learned English and Chinese in addition to the local language. However, his Chinese teacher is from Shandong, so his speech has a Shandong accent. Combined with his warlord image, he looks very rough and open-minded.
After officially arriving in Chinatown, Ruan Kaiming first visited the renovated military base in the north city park, then walked around the city, looked at the surrounding scenery and buildings, and finally stopped in front of the entertainment city.
You Tianfu stayed by his side throughout the whole process and asked someone to prepare a banquet in advance to welcome Ruan Kaiming.
Without spending a single soldier or firing a single shot, not only did he gain a piece of land and a military fortification for free, he was also welcomed and received with such a grand ceremony. Ruan Kaiming had been grinning from ear to ear since he entered the city. He didn't care about the procedures arranged in advance by You Tianfu and completely obeyed his arrangements.
After arriving at the entertainment city, a car of soldiers led the way, from the entrance of the entertainment city all the way to the restaurant upstairs. There were soldiers standing guard at every entrance and exit, all the way inside the restaurant. There were also two soldiers following closely, standing behind Ruan Kaiming with vigilant eyes and long guns in their hands, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
The welcoming banquet had a large menu, but not many people. The only people who could sit at the table were Chen Dong, Xie Jiannan, Qi Haitao, Liu Hui, and You Tianfu. On the other side sat Ruan Kaiming and four other subordinates.
The uniforms of those four subordinates were different from those of other soldiers, and they obviously had higher ranks. They were all dignified and had eyes as bright as pools. Except for turning their gaze when Ruan Kaiming spoke, they completely ignored other people.
After they were seated, the dishes were served. You Tianfu introduced the people at the table one by one. He did not directly talk about the past of the big guys, but addressed them as veterans, saying that these were all heroes who had made contributions to the construction of Chinatown.
Ruan Kaiming listened quietly, and as the introductions went on, his eyes swept over each of them one by one. Except for a slight pause when he looked at Chen Dong, he just glanced at the others.
After You Tianfu finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the four subordinates beside him, introducing them one by one from left to right: "They are all my adjutants. This one is called Rat, in charge of internal affairs. Then there is Ox, followed by Tiger, both of whom are good at leading troops. Finally, there is Wen An, my personal 'secretary'.
Old Zhou had already described the situation in the city, and now I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's really true! From now on, we'll all be under the same cloud, so let's get to know each other. What's the Chinese saying, "The sea water drowned the Dragon King?"
Wen An joined in. Although his Chinese wasn't as fluent as Ruan Kaiming's, it was standard Chinese without any accent. "General, it's about the flood that flooded the Dragon King Temple. It's about the misunderstandings that have arisen among our people."
Ruan Kaiming nodded and laughed heartily. "Right, right, that's exactly what I said! Chinatown used to be a no-man's land, unprotected by any country or force. But now it's different. I'm here! Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!"
As he was talking, Murong Jie had already poured drinks for everyone. You Tianfu picked up the wine glass, said a few polite words of thanks, and then introduced the dishes on the table one by one, inviting Ruan Mingkai to taste them.
Although it seemed that You Tianfu was busy all the time, in fact, while he was carefully entertaining Ruan Kaiming, he was also secretly observing the four adjutants.
The few people looked as their names suggested, with pointed jaws and monkey-like features, round eyes that held a hint of cunning, mustaches on their mouths, and thin builds.
The ugly ox has a tiger back and bear waist, two silly eyes and wild movements, just like a wild bull.
The Tiger is stronger than the Ox, with strong muscles and a fierce look on his face. The aura he exudes carries a sense of violence.
The three of them were of similar age, all in their forties. The last one, Wen An, looked much older, not strong or fierce, and his hunched back sitting next to Yin Hu formed a stark contrast!
