Chapter 44 Zhuiya, Eager to Make a Contribution
Chapter 44 Zhuiya, Eager to Make a Contribution
"A total of 170,000 taels, I hope you won't find it too much, brother."
Holding her wine glass, she looked at Ye Tian with a meaningful gaze.
The 170,000 taels could have been swallowed by Zhuiya himself if he hadn't said anything, but Zhuiya still revealed it.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that they are preparing to hand over the 170,000 taels to Ye Tian in full.
"My brother now controls a considerable amount of territory and is in dire need of funds, so I..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Ye Tian smiled and raised his hand, pushing the wine glass back into Zhui Ya's hand.
170,000 taels is indeed a lot, but with the money he got from the Flying Cloud Gang, Ye Tian isn't too short of cash now.
Moreover, money is important, but people's hearts are even more important.
"I've said it before, everyone who follows me is my brother. Since you used your own abilities to come up with this money, it's yours."
"Big brother!"
Zhuiya still wanted to speak.
But Ye Tian raised his hand to stop him.
"I know what you mean, brother. Now that you dare to follow me, besides territory, I can't give you anything else. Keep this money for yourself. I trust you!"
When he said the last three words, Ye Tian looked at him with sincere eyes.
Just three simple words.
But it brought tears to the eyes of Zhuiya, who had been in the underworld for so many years.
Damn it.
What kind of life did I live when I was in the Wang family gang?
"No way, Brother Qian has to accept this money, otherwise he's looking down on me, Zhuiya!"
Ye Tian didn't want it, but Zhui Ya insisted on giving it to him.
"How about this!"
Seeing that Zhuiya wouldn't leave unless he took the money, Ye Tian came up with a compromise reason.
"When we fought the Flying Cloud Gang before, many of the businesses in their territory were vandalized. Let's use this money to repair those businesses, what do you say?"
That's perfect. Repairing those places would be a considerable expense, but a few hundred thousand taels would definitely be enough.
"Well... okay then!"
At this point, Zhuiya had no choice but to give up.
Although it's a repair business, Ye Tian had said that those areas would be his territory in the future, and he would get a share of the profits. Wasn't that helping him out?
The more this was the case, the more Zhuiya wanted to show his value to Ye Tian.
At the very least, the other party should be informed.
I am not some good-for-nothing, and I deserve Ye Tian's trust.

The next day, the Feiyun Gang's dock—no, it should now be said that the dock on Ye Tian's territory, as well as several nearby streets—was all taken over by Zhui Ya's gang.
During the fight, a lot of things were smashed.
However, thanks to Ye Tian's prior instructions, the buildings around the dock were still relatively intact.
Zhuiya led his brothers around and around several times before reluctantly stopping.
Finally, we have our own territory.
When he was with the Wang family gang, Zhuiya was nominally a boxer in charge of territory, but in reality, all those territories were firmly controlled by the Wang family. He was more like someone who was pushed out to take the fall.
When it comes to dividing the money, you don't get a share, but when something goes wrong, you're expected to be the first to rush in.
Is this even human?
"Damn it, what kind of life were we living before?!"
"Who can argue with that?"
The most excited people were undoubtedly those around Zhuiya.
Many of them followed Zhuiya with a gambler's mentality, because they couldn't stand life in the Wang family gang anymore and wanted to try their luck for a future.
In hindsight, they really did make the right bet.
I should have come a long time ago.
"Haha, from now on, we brothers don't have to be beholden to anyone anymore. We've really stood up for ourselves!"
Everyone seems to be in such high spirits.
Zhuiya didn't say anything that would dampen everyone's spirits. Instead, he waited a while until everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.
Then he spoke seriously.
"My brother said that bullying men and women is absolutely forbidden on this territory. I don't care about the past, but from now on, if any of you dare to do such a thing, don't blame me for not showing brotherly affection!"
Although Zhuiya likes to talk about brotherhood.
But some things are better said sooner rather than later.
"You treat me like a national hero, and I will repay you like a national hero." Ye Tian values him so much that he put him in charge of the territory as soon as he arrived. This trust makes Zhui Ya determined to manage this place well, otherwise he would be letting Ye Tian down.
If you're going to chase after them...
It made the surrounding air much quieter.
But soon someone laughed and said...
"Don't worry, Brother Zhuiya. We've been brothers for so long, you know best what kind of people we are. When have we ever done anything like bullying men or women? If we really have to fight, we'll get the gang to do it!"
The speaker's name is Mouse.
He has a somewhat shifty appearance, but he was one of the first to follow Zhuiya. He is clever and very loyal. Back then, Haozi didn't think much of the Wang family gang, but he was fooled into thinking too highly of Zhuiya.
In the end, Haozi still chose to join the Wang Family Gang along with Zhuiya.
Hearing what the mouse said, Zhuiya nodded.
They were all brothers he had trained, so Zhuiya naturally trusted them. However, it was better to say some things openly, so that if something happened later, everyone would blame him for not cherishing their brotherhood.
"Alright! Now that we have territory, everyone's lives will soon get better."
"Let's go grab another drink, it's on me!"
The quiet atmosphere was instantly broken by the news that there was alcohol to drink, and everyone excitedly followed Zhuiya.
,,,
"Brother Zhuiya, I'd like to toast you!"
There are restaurants right on the dock.
Although it wasn't large, it could still easily accommodate over a hundred people. The original owner of the restaurant was so frightened by the arrival of Zhuiya and his gang that he trembled with fear.
After all, they had been exploited by the Flying Cloud Gang for so long, and they were truly afraid.
But when they saw that Zhuiya had paid for the drinks beforehand, they immediately started getting people busy.
This is the first time I've made money off gang members, so I have to be quick about it.
After all, it's clear from these conversations that this group of people will be in charge of this area from now on.
The mouse, holding a wine glass, moved closer to Zhuiya.
His face already showed signs of intoxication; he couldn't help it, he was too happy and wanted to have a couple more drinks.
"Now that they have territory, why does Brother Zhuiya seem unhappy?"
When drinking.
Mouse noticed that Zhuiya looked preoccupied, as if something was on his mind.
"It's nothing." He waved his hand at first, but then remembered that the other person was a brother who had followed him for a long time.
Zhuiya still voiced his thoughts.
"I just feel a little uneasy about this."
We have territory, but I just don't feel secure.
Simply put, he hadn't made any contributions. His thoughts were similar to those of Double-Sword General and Thunderbolt. He had taken the position without any merit, and he felt uneasy about it.
The mouse was a clever one, and immediately realized what its older brother was thinking.
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly whispered.
"Perhaps I have a way to solve Brother Zhuiya's urgent problem."
