Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 295 - 179: Rising to the Top, Riding Above Everyone
Jiang Feng became the focus.
Busy dealing with everyone.
On the surface, he was full of enthusiasm, but inwardly he was very troubled.
The "Four Don’ts" maxim was initially just a way to restrain himself. Later, when he became the Little Prison Chief, he worried that his subordinates might cause trouble for him, so he extended it to them.
As the creator of the "Four Don’ts" maxim, Jiang Feng knew very well that the so-called "Four Don’ts" were almost a harsh demand.
It easily attracted resentment and hostility.
So during the time he was the Little Prison Chief, whenever he noticed his subordinates in a bad mood, he would find ways to help relieve their stress, applying both kindness and authority, and occasionally inviting Chief Wang and others for meals and drinks.
He ensured that they wouldn’t cause trouble for him, while also making them realize he wasn’t an unkind person.
Thus, he continued to be diligent every day.
Now the "Four Don’ts" maxim had become part of the regulations of the Four Great Prisons. One can imagine that those being restricted must be cursing him furiously in their hearts, and once given the chance, they would certainly curse him behind his back.
Even in Zhenbei Prison, there were bound to be people who smiled on the surface and respectfully addressed him as Prison Chief Jiang, yet secretly cursed him as a fool, wishing misfortune upon him.
Therefore, Bao Longwei treating the "Four Don’ts" maxim as a regulatory procedure and enforcing it in the Four Great Prisons indirectly put Jiang Feng on the spot, fearing he might face all kinds of trouble in the future.
Should any Prison Guard violate the "Four Don’ts" regulations and suffer grievances within the prison, lurking at the alley corners to throw zombie powder at him, then where could he find justice?
The saying goes, "A clear arrow is easy to dodge, a hidden arrow is hard to guard against."
Even having become a Celestial Profound Realm expert, Jiang Feng didn’t want to become the target among the Prison Guards.
However, the "Four Don’ts" maxim had already spread to the Imperial City and gained recognition among its inhabitants. Indeed, it had been widely spread within the Imperial City, adopted as a regulation by Bao Longwei, and enforced within the prison—an irreversible reality that Jiang Feng couldn’t escape.
"Prison Chief Jiang, Commander Chu asked me to tell you that the private room at the Sun and Moon Building is ready, and Officer Zhao, Officer Yang, and others will be there tonight. You must come."
After visiting Jiang Feng, Brother Chu Tian then had his subordinate Captain come in to inform Jiang Feng that tonight’s banquet was already arranged.
"Absolutely, absolutely. Please thank Commander Chu and Officer Zhao for me."
Jiang Feng nodded, sending Captain Zhang out from the third floor.
"Prison Chief Jiang."
"Prison Chief Jiang, congratulations, congratulations."
On the way back, barely fifty meters, Jiang Feng received a wave of blessings, everyone looking at him with kindly expressions, as if they couldn’t wait to be close to him.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Feng could only nod and express his thanks all the way.
By shift change time, his workspace was already piled high with various gifts, all presented by colleagues—some for eating, some for wearing, and even some silver tael notes. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Clearly, Bao Longwei’s words made everyone realize that Jiang Feng would definitely rise high.
Originally supported by Han Dong, now further appreciated by Bao Longwei, his future seemed limitless. Despite the discomfort caused by the "Four Don’ts" regulation, courtesy on the surface was not to be skipped.
On the surface, nobody wanted to offend Jiang Feng and hoped to establish a good relationship with him.
Jiang Feng then returned all the gifts one by one, saying all the good things, convincing those retrieving the gifts not to overthink.
At the prison gate.
Jiang Feng boarded the carriage prepared by Chu Tianhe, heading to the Sun and Moon Building.
Outside was tumultuous, with blood flowing like rivers in the south and corpses strewn everywhere, yet the Sun and Moon Building was thriving, its business even more bustling than before.
Inside the private room, Jiang Feng toasted and drank with Chu Tianhe, Officer Zhao, and others.
Everyone was polite and courteous.
Flattering Jiang Feng eagerly, offering many wise words like a barrage, constantly conveyed to Jiang Feng. They were all savvy individuals, knowing how to curry favor effectively. In their eyes, Jiang Feng was young and successful, believing that a few drinks could easily sway him, at least ensuring good relations for the days to come.
However, Jiang Feng was resolute.
As a person with Celestial Profound Realm cultivation, well-used to witnessing the temperatures of human nature, he didn’t lose himself amid their sweet talk, instead lowering his stance with respect towards all. Generously sharing various well-crafted compliments, he made Chu Tianhe and others look upon him with appreciation, thinking this young man is a sensible guy.
Later, everyone was filled with the aroma of wine, satisfied and content.
Jiang Feng took the opportunity to ask, "Commander Chu, Lord Head mentioned today that Director Han will return in a few days. Has the situation in the south stabilized, has the Blood Wolf King been repelled?"
"Haha, I believe Brother Jiang already has the answer in his heart."
Chu Tianhe deliberately teased.
"Please tell the truth, Commander Chu, don’t make a brother think irrationally."
Jiang Feng clasped his hands in request.
"Director Han’s return naturally indicates that the situation in the south has been alleviated, but the Blood Wolf King has not withdrawn. The area south of Jingzhou is still swarming with wolf packs. But, for the short term, there’s no need to worry that the Blood Wolf King will further advance north."
Chu Tianhe explained.
As a Prison Army Commander, the information he received may not be 100% accurate, but it was definitely more reliable than what Jiang Feng could gather at the restaurant.
"It’s said that half of the population remaining in the south was eaten, but it’s unclear how much of it is true."
Officer Zhao sighed and spoke.
"My Yang family’s ancestors were all from the south. Recently, my uncles who fled have come into the city for refuge, from their mouths I learned that, of my Yang family’s thousands of people, now only over one hundred remain. The rest have either disappeared or fell into the wolf’s maw. Who knows when those beasts will return to the Forbidden Forest."
