At the pinnacle of power: parachuted into your hometown as a leader right from the start!

Chang Guojian's expression suddenly turned serious, and his eyes sharpened.

"Secretary Jiang, I thought and thought, but I just couldn't think of a way to make her stay at home and have a good outcome. In fact, she might even be dragged down to death by me, her disabled father."

"So I wanted to give my daughter a different environment, a happier one, a place where she could study in peace."

"I've considered the possibility that you won't accept my daughter and will send her to an orphanage, but even the worst orphanage can't be worse than it is now, can it?"

"So I thought I'd use my disabled body to gamble with this damned fate one last time. I think it's a pretty good deal. What do you think, Secretary Jiang?"

Jiang Feng looked at Chang Guojian with surprise. Was he gambling with his life?

I never expected that this ordinary person who hadn't received much education could have such courage.

He also taught Jiang Feng a lesson: when a person is driven to the brink of despair, they still have the most important bargaining chip in their hand.

"The way you're saying this doesn't sound like someone who's uneducated!"

Chang Guojian smiled and said to Jiang Feng.

"Secretary Jiang, you misunderstand. Although I never went to school, my mother and father were both high school teachers. However, during that turbulent era, they both became farmers."

"My mother passed away in those days, and my father, disheartened, became a farmer who relied on the weather for his livelihood. Although I never went to school, they taught me everything they needed to know!"

Jiang Feng looked surprised; he hadn't expected Chang Guojian's family situation to be like this.

"Oh, why bother!"

Just then, a little girl ran over crying.

"Daddy, Daddy, what's wrong, Daddy?"

With worry in her eyes, Chang Xiaoyu quickly rushed to Chang Guojian's side.

Chang Guojian smiled gently.

"It's alright, Xiaoyu's dad is alright, isn't he perfectly fine?"

Looking at her father, Chang Xiaoyu couldn't see anything unusual, and she was also a little confused.

"Uncle Jiang, what happened to my dad?"

Looking into Chang Xiaoyu's innocent eyes, Jiang Feng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Your father is sick.

Chang Xiaoyu looked puzzled.

"What illness is it? How should it be treated?"

At this moment, Chang Guojian pulled Chang Xiaoyu aside, a bitter smile on his face.

"Xiaoyu, your father has an incurable disease, and I'll probably be going to see your mother next week."

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Chang Xiaoyu's eyes again, and her heartbroken voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Dad, I don't want you to go to Mom. I don't want you to go to Mom. What will I do if you leave? Dad, if you leave, I'll be all alone."

"Dad, you're all I have left! Dad!..."

When Chang Xiaoyu said, "I only have you left," even Chang Guojian, who had been mentally prepared for everything, couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's alright, Xiaoyu, it's alright. After Daddy passed away, Secretary Jiang is your family. If you ever need anything, you can ask Uncle Jiang for help!"

At this point, he looked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng could have refused outright in this situation, but he reluctantly agreed.

"Yes, you can contact me if you need anything!"

Chang Xiaoyu shook her head, her face covered in tears.

"No, I don't want to find Uncle Jiang, I want to find Daddy! Daddy, you still have so many books to teach me!"

"I haven't learned what you're teaching me yet, you can't leave! I won't let you go."

Seeing this, Chang Guojian gently comforted Chang Xiaoyu.

He knew this was a very difficult fact for his daughter to accept.

But he had no choice but to do it. He was tired, so very tired. He wanted to use his weary body to make one last gamble with fate.

He wanted to use his selfishness to give his daughter a better starting point.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng stood up and slowly walked out.

Zheng Jianshe and Wang Zhenghui followed Jiang Feng outside.

Once outside the hospital, Jiang Feng asked Wang Zhenghui, who was standing to the side.

"Xiao Wang, how do you feel about seeing this?"

Wang Zhenghui pondered for a moment, a sigh on his face.

"It's complex, both because Chang Guojian was willing to pay the price of his life for his daughter and to strive for a better future, and because it's touching."

"I feel heartbroken for the suffering he has endured, but also angry that he pressured you, his superior."

Jiang Feng nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Yes, people are always so complex, and the world is never just black and white."

Zheng Jianshe looked at the two people's sighs and felt very complicated.

They're all set, but who can this unlucky guy complain to? The victim committed suicide right in front of them after they finished investigating the situation.

Damn it, why am I so unlucky?

Jiang Feng was silent for a moment, then spoke to Zheng Jianshe.

"Comrade Jianshe, take your men and keep a close eye on Chang Guojian and Chang Xiaoyu. Make sure nothing else happens to them."

"Xiao Wang, let's go visit the orphanage together."

Jiang Feng was still unwilling to compromise. He felt that Chang Guojian's life was tragic, but that was not a reason for him to threaten himself with his life.

He can't accept a child for every case he handles, otherwise he and Gao Xin won't have anything to do in the future, they'll just have to take care of the adopted children!

Moreover, he is busy with work and has no time to take care of the children, not to mention Gao Xin, who is still in school and has even less time.

Therefore, this child can only be cared for by his family. He cannot add burden to his family because of his momentary kindness; that would be too selfish!

Wang Zhenghui was somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected that even though Chang Guojian had gone to such lengths, the leader would still send the child to the welfare home.

"Okay, boss!"

After sitting in the car, Jiang Feng gave a wry smile.

"Do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"

Wang Zhenghui immediately shook his head and then said.

"At first I didn't understand, but later I did. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what you did, boss."

"We can donate money and goods, but a child is a life with independent thoughts, and we can never be too careful or solemn about this matter."

Jiang Feng smiled slightly. It seemed that this new liaison officer wasn't stupid after all!

When the group arrived at the welfare home, they saw a young man in his thirties park his car in front of the welfare home.

He was also holding a large pile of toys, rice, flour, and cooking oil.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng glanced at the empty hands of the group and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang, you two go and buy some rice, flour, cooking oil, and other necessities and bring them over."

The two nodded immediately and then drove off to buy rice, flour, and cooking oil.

Jiang Feng approached the man who was carrying a large pile of daily necessities.

"Let me get you some."

The man wasn't very strong; he wore black-rimmed glasses and chuckled when he saw Jiang Feng's comment.

"Thank you so much!"

Jiang Feng waved his hand and went inside with the man, carrying the things.

When they went inside, the two chatted for a bit. The man's name was Cui Yake, and he had just been transferred to work in Yuanchang County.

What Jiang Feng didn't know was that Cui Yake had been transferred to work at Yitian Mining, or more accurately, to assist Lu Zhuqian in taking the blame for her.
