Chapter 1796


    The slum’s issues had gued Dorodo for so long that the slum on the west was Dorodo’s cancer.


    Several previous mayors had tried addressing it but failed.


    It was a good thing that Commander Jagoan had now personally gotten involved in the slum’s


    governance!


    However, why did her father’s expression look so ghastly?


    “Dad, is there something wrong with this?” Jagoan pondered before asking tentatively.


    Jagoan put down the newspaper, took along breath, and said, “Of course. Commander Jagoan wants


    to fight poverty and make life better for the poor in the west. There’s nothing wrong with that. He’s a


    good and kind man to have such ideas…”


    “But the problem is that the slum is soplicated that I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it!”


    The slum isplicated?


    Can’t handle it?


    Jagoan looked increasingly puzzled.


    Is the life of the poor in the slum so difficult not only because of economic reasons but also other


    factors?


    Jagoan immediately asked what was confusing her.


    Jagoan nced at his daughter with resignation and amusement beforementing, “You’re too


    na?ve, Darling… I’ve protected you so well that you haven’t been through anything bad. It made you


    think too simply of things.”


    After a pause, Jagoan exined to his daughter in detail.


    “Besides the mayor Quentin‘s family, there are five influential families in Dorodo called the Dorodo’s top


    five families…”


    “They are the Wosh family, the Montana family, the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert


    family. The Wosh family is represented by Benedict Wosh, the director of Dorodo People’s Hospital,


    and the Montana family is led by Madam Monica Montana. Elijah Walker is the patriarch of the Walker


    family; Cole Stewart is the patriarch of the Stewart family, and Dn Lambert is the patriarch of the


    Lambert family…”


    “To tell you the truth, the top five families have businesses in the slums. The Wosh family runs


    pharmaceutical factories, The Montana family owns textile mills, The Walker family runs coal mines,


    The Stewart family owns iron mines, And the Lambert family has fertilizer nts. Do you know why the


    top five families openpanies or factories and run businesses in the slum?”


    “That’s because the poor’sbor is cheap. The slum contains more than 2,800, or nearly 3,000 people,


    and at least two-thirds work in the top five families’panies… What do you think the top five families


    would think if Commander Jagoan insisted on improving the quality of life and the status of the poor in


    Dorodo?”


    “If the poor’s quality of life improves, will they still be satisfied with their current wages? Will they be


    satisfied with the current welfare, working facilities, and environment?”


    “So Commander Jagoan’s ideas and actions are arguably damaging to the top five families’ interests.


    It’s equivalent to cutting out a piece of the top five families’ cake, and a big one at that!”


    “I’d be surprised if the top five families could ept it!”

    Jagoan felt a little tired after such a long speech.


    Jagoan immediately poured her father a cup of hot water and handed it to him.
