At this time, the streets of Chinatown were very lively with loud gongs and drums, lion and dragon dances.
The shops and restaurants on both sides of the street are also decorated with lights.

Among these people, some are octogenarians who still have braids, some are pink-faced and shy young girls, and some are middle-aged men with expectant faces... all of them People stood on the street, talking loudly, with faces full of anticipation, because President Li Zhen was coming to Chinatown. After the news spread, Chinatown became excited.
In the center of Chinatown, there is a two-story Chinese building. This building is antique with carved beams and painted tiles, and the style of Chinese architecture is everywhere. It is in sharp contrast to the many foreign-style houses around it.
This restaurant is Dading Restaurant run by Tang Huaide.
At the gate, Tang Huaide and a group of businessmen stood with their heads held high.
Today, Tang Huaide is wearing a brand-new black cotton robe. He has combed his beard and arranged his clothes. He is in high spirits. Next to Tang Huaide, there are businessmen wearing various colors of clothes, tall, short, fat and thin, with different characteristics. In short, There were all kinds of businessmen, all waiting for Li Zhen's arrival with smiles on their faces.
"Tang General Shang, last time you visited President Li in person and saw his appearance. What did he look like? Is he as beautiful as the portrait in the portrait?"
"Mr. Tang, I think the President Li in the portrait is unreal. Anyway, President Li is a soldier, commanding thousands of troops, and when he gets angry, he makes American officials, big and small, tremble. Such a person must be a very good person. A fierce person, I guess President Lee is tall and tall, with a round waist and broad shoulders, and full of momentum. He is an out-and-out big man."
"General Shang Tang, no one has seen him before. Please tell me about him."
"I can't help but be excited when I think about meeting President Lee. Just imagine, we can meet and even talk to President Lee up close. How honorable it is."

Looking at the expectant faces, Tang Huaide replied: "Everyone, everyone, please rest assured that the president is a very kind man, without any presidential airs, no feeling of being superior, and there is no need to guess what the president looks like. Well, the President is indeed a handsome and handsome man, and it is not an exaggeration to call him more handsome than Pan An. You will know after the President comes to Dading Restaurant in a while."
After hearing this, all the businessmen looked expectant.
"The president is here, the president is here."
While everyone was waiting for Li Zhen, the waiter from Dading Restaurant quickly ran back.
At this moment, countless people immediately looked ahead.
Some of the businessmen standing next to Tang Huaide took steps and walked quickly towards the road where Li Zhen came. However, Tang Huaide and some of the businessmen did not move. They still stayed at the door of Dading Restaurant and waited. The news that Li Zhen came to Chinatown had already spread. , countless people in Chinatown know it, so the road to Li Zhenlai must be crowded with people.
In order to protect Li Zhen's safety, the accompanying guards would never allow people to get close to him, so they couldn't get close to Li Zhen. As expected, neither the businessmen nor the people who went there saw Li Zhen.
In this way, the team kept moving forward.
Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a black torrent flowing forward.
Not long after, Li Zhen arrived at the door of Dading Restaurant.
Huang Qiang followed Li Zhen, raised his head and looked around the Dading Restaurant, and then nodded slightly. Immediately, he followed Li Zhen and continued walking forward, protecting Li Zhen's safety. Li Zhen walked to Tang Huaide's body. In front of him, he said with a smile: "General Shang Tang, we meet again. We haven't seen each other for a few days. General Shang Tang is even more energetic. I think he is in high spirits during happy events."
Tang Huaide smiled and said: "The visit of the President is a great joy for me as a businessman in Chinatown."
Upon hearing this, the merchants saluted Li Zhen one after another.
Li Zhen smiled and nodded, returning the greetings one by one.
Tang Huaide waved his hand and said: "President, the banquet has been set up upstairs, please."
Li Zhen walked in front without hesitation, followed by Tang Huaide and a group of businessmen. Huang Qiang turned around and gave a few instructions, asking the soldiers to guard the door, and then followed him with ten soldiers from the Sharp Sword Battalion, heading towards the second floor of the restaurant. Go, Huang Qiang is responsible for Li Zhen's safety. In order to protect Li Zhen's safety in Chinatown, he has hardly slept and has been making arrangements for the past two days.
Huang Qiang made careful arrangements from Li Zhen's residence to Chinatown, and the same was true for Dading Restaurant. Everything in the restaurant was inspected, including the food and wine at the banquet of Li Zhen, Tang Huaide and others, all were inspected.
The entire process was under Huang Qiang's control.
After reaching the second floor, Li Zhen was the first to sit down, followed by Tang Huaide and other important businessmen who sat around Li Zhen, and businessmen with slightly lower status sat down in the remaining seats.
All the seats in the restaurant on the second floor were occupied.
Tang Huaide put his hands on his knees, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Before the President arrived at Dading Restaurant, everyone was talking about it and guessing what the President looked like. Now that we have seen the President, we finally have a glimpse of Mount Lu true colors."
Li Zhenlang said in a loud voice: "I didn't scare everyone."
"No, no, President Maung Phip An is absolutely handsome."
"You won't know it if you don't look at it, but you will be shocked when you see it. The President is like a god walking out of a painting. He is so graceful and graceful that he is like a god descending to earth. In my opinion, the President will definitely fascinate thousands of young women in their boudoirs and make countless The woman is haunted by dreams. Fortunately, my daughter did not come, otherwise she would have been attracted by the president."
"The President is as tall as a jade tree, which makes us ashamed."
…
Li Zhen asked a simple question, and the atmosphere upstairs suddenly became lively.
Tang Huaide picked up the wine glass and said: "President, we businessmen living in the United States, or Chinese people living in the United States, because of the protection of the president, we can live safely in the United States without being bullied by others. Not to be looked down upon by others, today, all of us gentlemen and businessmen in Chinatown would like to toast the President with a glass of wine to express our gratitude."
After the words fell, the merchants and squire stood up with wine glasses in their hands.
Everyone looked at Li Zhen with expressions of excitement and gratitude.
Li Zhen also stood up with a wine glass. He looked around at all the businessmen present and said with a smile: "The strength of the country is not due to me alone, but to the efforts of countless people. On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank you for your praise. First of all, Please do it out of respect."
After saying that, Li Zhen picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
The businessmen praised Li Zhen again, drank the wine, and then sat down one after another.
