Chapter 25: Have all their brains gone mad?
Wen Li's mother, holding her child, couldn't swallow her last breath and left on the spot with her husband.
His brother dedicated his life to the country, and his family deserves to be treated with even greater respect after his death.
Jiang Hui took his wife to attend his brother's memorial service. Seeing two-year-old Wen Li and an old man with a hunched back and gray hair, they felt a pang of sadness.
The couple discussed it with the elderly woman and decided to bring her to live with the Jiang family.
The old lady didn't want to burden others, but for the sake of her granddaughter who lived alone, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and ask that if she died one day, please take care of her granddaughter when you have time.
No one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.
The old lady stubbornly held on to her last breath and raised her granddaughter until she was seven years old before passing away.
Upon receiving news of the old lady's death, they rushed to the Wen family's hometown overnight.
Later, they learned from their neighbors that the old lady would make her granddaughter do many things in order to train her to live independently, such as washing clothes, cooking, and planting rice seedlings in the fields. The child, who was only a few years old, did everything.
Neighbors said the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter and would often watch her with tears in her eyes as she eagerly did chores, but she couldn't even get out of bed and could only keep her granddaughter company.
They buried the old lady together with the Wen couple.
Before the funeral was over, a group of relatives from a collateral branch of the Wen family confronted Wen Li, demanding the martyr's pension that the old lady had hidden, under the pretext of taking care of little Wen Li.
They couldn't stand it anymore, so with Wen Li's consent, they brought her back to the Jiang family. To avoid gossip, she changed her surname to Jiang, but her ID card would always show her as Wen Li.
Her father's surname should be remembered.
Jiang Li was very reserved when she first arrived at the Jiang family home, and it took Hua Lan and Jiang Hui a long time to get close to her.
Jiang Ci was only four years old at the time, and Jiang Hui was busy with company affairs, so he rarely had time to have dinner with his family.
In Jiang Ci's mind, Jiang Li was his older sister, but when his father came back, he only cared about his sister and rarely cared about him. Even when he saw him, his father would ask him how he was doing with a serious face, as if he were just finishing up business.
Over time, Jiang Ci became unwilling to communicate with his father, and this change continued until Jiang Ci disappeared at the age of five.
"You know that's good. The Jiang family isn't short of money. You were just trying to prove yourself to your father-in-law back then. Now look what's happened. Jiang Ci came back from his disappearance in poor health, and Jiang Li is feeling guilty and blaming herself. You haven't taken good care of either of the children."
Hua Lan pointed out his mistakes without any hesitation.
If you make a mistake, admit it; if you're going to get hit, stand up straight.
Jiang Hui, dejected after being scolded, sighed and said, "Well, I really didn't take good care of any of them. But I've changed over the years, haven't I?"
After Jiang Ci's accident, he suddenly realized that he hadn't cared about his youngest son for a long time, and he finally felt a sense of panic.
It was around that time that he pulled the old man back to the company, and he himself stepped down.
To realize one's mistakes and return to the right path is the greatest virtue.
Jiang Ci was going to study in Yunxiaxiang, so he bought an entire building in a high-end residential area near the school, combined the apartments, and stayed there to accompany his son while he studied.
But the man was ultimately a bit careless when it came to matters of the heart, and he never realized that his son was dating.
Jiang Ci suggested going out to play with friends, so he encouraged him to go out more, make more friends, and exercise, and even provided substantial financial support.
There was absolutely no doubt that his son would fall in love at a young age.
"I heard from Zhou Li that Jiang Ci recently went to see a doctor, but I don't know how he is doing?"
Hua Lan was still worried about Jiang Ci's dissociative identity disorder. When he was stimulated, the child would not remember anything and would mutter "brother, brother" in his mouth. He didn't have any brother. He was confused because of his illness.
Furthermore, if the illness becomes severe, it can also damage the body; Jiang Ci's hospitalization this time is already a warning.
The situation is unclear. Jiang Ci still holds the Jiang family's financial power. If someone with ulterior motives seizes on this, what will happen to Jiang Ci?
“Jiang Ci’s willingness to seek treatment is already a good start. You saw how crazy Jiang Ci was when Jiang Du’s mother left. Sometimes I think this is fate. Not being able to remember is the greatest protection for him.”
Jiang Hui sighed with a sullen face.
Hua Lan suddenly had a whimsical thought: "What if Jiang Du's mother came back at this time?"
The next second, the couple shook their heads almost simultaneously. Impossible, absolutely impossible.
If Jiang Du's mother were to return at this moment and provoke Jiang Ci, who could guarantee what Jiang Ci might do? This child has such a stubborn personality, how could he possibly let that girl be alright?
"Your assumption is actually quite terrifying."
Jiang Hui's sharp commentary.
Hua Lan, unusually, didn't scold him: "There is a bit of a bit."
……
Jiang Group
"Last quarter's revenue was acceptable, but this quarter, what's wrong? Has everyone's brain just gone completely off track?"
Jiang Ci sat at the head of the table, leaning back indifferently with a pen in his hand. His eyes were like ice, and his gaze chilled people to the bone.
The department managers were all silent, too afraid to even lift their heads, lest they be the next ones to be scolded.
"Planning Department, the proposal leaked from your department. What, have you found someone to take the blame?"
Jiang Ci spoke sarcastically, his sharp gaze sweeping over the planning department.
The planning manager stood up shakily, his legs shaking. "President Jiang, I'll catch the mole soon. Please give me a little more time. Also, I'll submit the new plan to you as soon as it's finalized."
"I'm waiting for your good news." Jiang Ci glanced at him gently.
The planning minister nodded repeatedly, and when he sat down, the deputy minister carefully handed him a tissue to wipe his sweat.
Inside the meeting room, everyone felt uneasy, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.
Li Zhu stood aside and handed the next item to Jiang Ci.
The finance minister next to him quickly glanced over and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Human resources is going to be in trouble.
"Minister Qin, have you been busy with work lately?"
Jiang Ci casually propped her head up with her hand, looking at him with a half-smile.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the Human Resources Department, their gazes filled with sympathy. May Minister Qin rest in peace.
"Work is alright, not too busy."
Minister Qin appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding like a rabbit in his chest.
Help me, help me, help me!
Jiang Ci nodded, seemingly puzzled: "Indeed, I recently had someone conduct background checks on several interns who were about to be promoted to full-time positions. Minister Qin, guess what?"
Minister Qin, sweating profusely, said, "President Jiang, please speak."
—With a 'bang'!
Jiang Ci threw a thick stack of background check information onto the table.
He was furious, his eyes radiating a chilling coldness.
"Minister Qin, could you please explain to me that one of the three people who are to be promoted to permanent positions had a credit record problem ten years ago and also concealed a criminal record? Among the group of interns who haven't been promoted, there's also someone who provided a fake degree. Minister Qin, is Jiang's a criminal den?"
