<h4>Chapter 1890: Chapter 1991: Completing the First Step</h4>


    Tie Zhuzi brought the supplies back to the slum directly, where Xiang Yu and ten other brothers were already waiting.


    "How many of you have used a gun before?" Xiang Yu asked the ten men.


    The ten looked at each other, and no one stepped forward; it was clear none of them had used a gun before.


    Xiang Yu and Xiaoxuan weren’t surprised; after all, the conditions here were tough. If they had money, they’d spend it on food, not weapons.


    "Alright, everyone gets a handgun, and also an assault weapon." Xiang Yu said.


    Tie Zhuzi nodded, then stood there and shouted, "Line up to collect your gear."


    The ten who had never touched a gun were excited when they saw the weapons being distributed.


    Others who weren’t selected also came over to watch; they all wanted their own guns.


    "You go back first, in a while everyone will have one." Xiang Yu shouted.


    Though envious, they obediently returned to training.


    "Zhuzi, you teach them how to shoot." Xiang Yu said.


    "No problem, I’ll train them all to be sharpshooters, like Xiaoxuan." Tie Zhuzi said excitedly.


    They had enough bullets, so there was no need to worry about using them; Tie Zhuzi could squander as much as he wanted.


    With a sniper rifle in hand, Xiaoxuan stood by Xiang Yu and said, "Bro, I’m heading out."


    The location for the deal was already set; Xiaoxuan needed to scout ahead, as was their usual practice.


    Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Be careful, although Yongzhen says they are reliable, it depends on who they are dealing with; to them, we’re nothing."


    Xiaoxuan nodded and said, "Don’t worry, bro; catching me won’t be easy for them."


    After speaking, Xiaoxuan hefted his sniper rifle and left.


    Tie Zhuzi took the others off into the distance to shoot; despite his poor marksmanship, he knew the basics.


    Wu Jing had taught him before, but Tie Zhuzicked the talent and had zero uracy.


    Whether it was handguns or assault rifles, they were easy to learn, and they picked it up after a few tries.


    Some of them were even more urate than Tie Zhuzi when shooting.


    Tie Zhuzi knew his shooting skills werecking, so he didn’tpete with them.


    Xiang Yu spent this time asking Sun Bo about economic development issues.


    After all, things were different now; Xiang Yu nned to take this slum under his control.


    No matter how Xiaoxuan develops in the future, he won’t hand over the city.


    After the call, Xiang Yu wandered casually down the street, and many people warmly greeted him when they saw him.


    Xiang Yu politely responded and, as he crossed a street, ready to return, he saw a group of children running and ying.


    Children are innocent and unaware of life’s hardships; to them, having food every day is enough.


    In that moment, Xiang Yu had an idea: to build a school for the children here.


    With this idea in mind, Xiang Yu quickly called Long Wu.


    Long Wu was writing a n at her residence when she saw the phone ringing and answered it.


    "What’s up?" Long Wu said bluntly.


    "I think we should build a school in the city first, so the children can get an education and gain knowledge." Xiang Yu said.


    "Exactly what I was thinking; I n to build a school in the city’s center. The challenge is finding teachers." Long Wu said.


    "There should be people in the city who have been teachers before. Since you’ve thought about it, why don’t you handle this?" Xiang Yu said decisively.


    Long Wu replied with slight annoyance, "You can just be your hands-free manager then."


    Long Wu continued her work without much more conversation and hung up the phone.


    She then called Xi’er and talked about the school-building n.


    Xi’er became overwhelmed with emotion upon hearing this; these actions showed that Long Wu and the others genuinely intended to develop here.


    Building a school isn’t profitable and requires a significant investment of people and resources.


    "Ipletely agree. Leave the task of finding teachers to me; I’ll definitely identify the best ones in the city." Xi’er said excitedly.


    "Great, I’ll promptly implement this n, and you handle the teachers and promotional tasks." Long Wu said decisively.


    "Don’t worry; I’ll definitely do well." Xi’er promised.


    Long Wu nodded and hung up the phone. Just as she was about to continue writing, she suddenly felt happy and smiled, thinking, "Indeed, a good helper."


    Jieke ran a circle around the city and came back to find his sister’s eyes red; he thought someone had bullied her.


    "Sis, who bullied you? Tell me, and I’ll teach them a lesson." Jieke said aggressively.


    Xi’er wiped her tears, shook her head, andughed, "No one bullied me; I’m just too moved."


    Without dy, she exined Long Wu’s decision, and Jieke almost jumped for joy, saying, "I must spread this news to the people of the city."


    Before Xi’er could stop him, Jieke had already headed out.


    Running through the streets, he loudly shouted the news.


    The news spread quickly; people heard that the outsider beauty wanted to build a school here, and they all came out to the streets to discuss it.


    Some middle-aged men headed toward the city center, wanting to contribute to building the school.


    Almost every household here had children; they weren’t unwilling to send them to school; there just hadn’t been a school in this slum before.


    Some opportunists tried to start a school before, but the tuition was too high, making it unaffordable for the slum’s residents, so it quickly fell apart.


    Now hearing someone else wanted to build a school, their enthusiasm was high, but what concerned them most was the tuition fees.


    Long Wu hadn’t anticipated the rapid spread of this news; while writing, many people came to ask her if it was true.


    Some mothers directly asked about tuition.


    Looking at their expectant faces, Long Wu reassured them.


    "All costs for children’s schooling are covered by us, and their meals during their studies are provided, so you don’t need to worry."


    This news spread swiftly across the entire slum city, causing many people to weep tears of joy.


    Finally, just as they were about to despair, they saw hope.


    Many middle-aged people and old women gathered in the city center, eager to contribute to building the school. They didn’t want money, only for the school to be built quickly.


    Xi’er also ryed this news back to Long Wu, who was moved and went personally to the city center.


    It was crowded with people who made way when they saw Long Wu arriving.


    Xi’er also arrived there, ready to witness this historic moment, and with many things unclear, she needed to trante for Long Wu...
