Chapter 48: The Moment of Handover

When it was dawn, Xiao Chen came to the inpatient department of Hewan New District Hospital, where the wounded of the attack were housed. Mei didn't come with him, but went to patrol the city's defenses.

He fought for a long day and was busy all night, if it weren't for his mental strength and physical strength far beyond ordinary people, he would definitely not be able to hold on to now. The cool breeze of the early morning blew through the gap between the two buildings of the discharge department and the outpatient department, which made him feel very refreshed, and he felt that he was tired and went away with the wind.

There are still many people in the city who don't know what happened yesterday, for whom it was the start of another normal day, but for others, their world has been turned upside down.

Xiao Chen feels that life is always like this, and it is possible to pick you up and throw you on a distant train at any time, and drive in a completely different direction. The so-called strong people are just some people who have learned to pick up trains and jump trains. But what about himself, as if he had been unwittingly pushed onto a whizzing train again.

Guo Qian's hospital room was on the third floor, and when Xiao Chen knocked on the door and entered, he was sitting on the hospital bed looking at the glow outside the window in a daze. Guo Qian was not seriously injured, he was protected by several intelligence department agents during the attack, and the shield imposed by the mage and the defensive props he carried withstood several attacks. In the end, he only broke his thigh bone and had a burn on his lower back, which was one of the lucky ones among the committee members. It's just that the blow this incident gave him made him lose a lot.

Guo Qian noticed that Xiao Chen entered the door, but he didn't turn his head, still looking out the window, "Xiao Chen, do you think I'm not suitable to lead everyone forward in this world?"

Xiao Chen took a few steps forward to Guo Qian's bedside, and looked out along his line of sight, which was a red cloud on the side of the outpatient building, and above the red cloud was a cyan sky. The scene is beautiful, but it is impossible to tell whether it is sunrise or sunset.

"Chairman Guo, where are you talking about this, if it weren't for you leading us, we wouldn't be where we are today. Xiao Chen said.

Guo Qian shook his head, "No, I don't think so. I haven't been asleep since I was here yesterday, and I feel like I'm back to the beginning, and I'm starting to think about how many things happened here, and I could have done better.

I actually lived a very simple life in my life, I studied hard when I was a child, I studied abroad when I had the opportunity to go to university, and when the country had a policy, I returned to China to teach, and finally I was placed in the position of this vice president. This is not necessarily an expectation of my ability, but it just so happens that I am such a person with the right qualifications. In school, things are not so difficult, and the work I am in charge of is not too stressful, and some unexpected things can be solved through the connections of old classmates and old friends, and it has been smooth and stable over the years.

But here...... It is really too difficult to lead a group of people to build a territory, or even a country, from scratch here. I used to feel this way, and I would just keep it in my heart and try to do it. But I know very well that my ability is limited, and being driven to the shelves is already the limit. Today's incident, these people who died today ......" Guo Qian's eyes were red when he said this, and tears couldn't stop flowing down his wrinkled face.

Xiao Chen suddenly found that Guo Qian was too much older than when he came here two years ago, and he comforted: "Chairman Guo, today's incident is not your fault. ”

"I smiled. Guo Qian wiped his tears and said, "How can it be okay, think about it, is the reason for this matter in the final analysis? If we were able to manage the internal relations and be able to unite everyone, this would not be the case. ”

"Principal Guo, you can't ask yourself like that. Gangs and factions can occur anywhere in the world, and it is not surprising that we have people like Chang Lin, Jiang Yitian, and Zhang Hong here. The introduction of external forces to break the internal equilibrium has also been happening. As long as there are interests, where will there not be such a conflict of interests?" Xiao Chen said.

Guo Qian said: "However, they will do this because their interests are not consistent with ours, we have developed during this time, but we don't have enough common interests with these people, so these things will be caused, isn't it?"

"It's desire, not profit. Xiao Chen argued, "Benefits can be distributed and coordinated, but desires ...... It's hard to fill the craving. For such people, can you really satisfy them by giving up more benefits?"

Guo Qian's gaze met Xiao Chen's, "I'm sorry, I've been thinking about these things since yesterday until this morning, maybe it's a bit of a bull's horn." However, I must admit that I am not very good at handling these things. I can be a scholar or I can lead a team in peace. But it's really not a good idea to be a trailblazing leader. This time it happened again, so I had a decision......"

"Principal Guo, what are you ......" Xiao Chen had a premonition that the other party was going to say something.

"It's time for me to step down. If this happens, the chairman of the committee should have taken the blame and resigned. The old qualified dead and wounded in the committee are either not in Riverbend New Town. But there can be no presiding officer here, and I would like to ask you to take charge of the affairs of the Committee for the time being and become the Acting Chairman of the Committee. ”

"I, Chairman Guo, now is the time to stabilize people's hearts, please don't do this. It can cause unease throughout the territory. Xiao Chen said seriously.

"I know. So for the time being, I will declare to the public that I am only recuperating from injury, and that my work in the committee will be temporarily replaced by you, and that I will stand behind you. Guo Qian's expression was very calm, obviously making this plan not on the spur of the moment, "But the people in this city have to get used to a new face to lead everyone forward." You should also know that apart from you, there is no more suitable candidate for qualifications, strength, and character. I hope you don't shirk and take up the responsibilities you deserve. ”

Xiao Chen suddenly remembered what Metatron had said to him before, this was what she said at that time as an opportunity for change, right? Not only her, but many of the races related to him in the realm now would be happy to see this.

"I realized that my role was to lay the groundwork for those of you who came after me, and now it seemed that the time had come to hand over the baton. Guo Qian took his hand and patted it.

"I get it, I'll try to do it well. Xiao Chen nodded solemnly.
