The world is just that ironic; your persistence, your faith, and all your pursuits are difficult to maintain or succeed in without the support of money.
Qi Hong, listening to the two of them, felt a mix of emotions in his heart.
Looking at these sallow, thin, and ragged children, a sense of sympathy rose in his heart once again.
At this sight, he couldn't help but sigh at how massive the wealth gap in this world truly was.
Setting aside a super VIP like Jiang Cheng, just look at the difference between the wealthy young masters in this small county and these children.
He had worked at CMB for many years and had dealt with all the major depositors in the county.
He had even arranged the schooling for some of those clients' children.
Generally, families with some money would send their children to the best private schools.
In private schools, not only are the three daily meals nutritionally balanced, but the school's facilities are also very complete.
Outdoor activities are even more abundant.
Especially the quality of teaching; it is top-notch.
Even when tutoring for homework on weekends, parents would hire private tutors for one-on-one sessions at home.
With a child growing up in such an environment, how could they not become successful?
Even more so, some wealthier families send their children directly to international schools abroad.
Although these children do not receive domestic educational content,
as international students, China has a very subtle policy that allows one to easily enter prestigious universities.
For example, at the most famous Tsinghua and Peking Universities, it is harder than climbing to heaven for a child from a normal family to get in.
But if you are an overseas student, you can enter Tsinghua or Peking University as an exchange student for further study, and you can still obtain a certificate from them after graduation.
So, much of the hidden information in society is inaccessible to children from ordinary families.
People born into ordinary families can only follow the rules, taking the hardest path to reach their goals.
Whereas children from wealthy families can use various resources to take the shortest shortcuts.
For these Hope Primary Schools and children to succeed, they either have to put in ten times more effort than others or be geniuses with extraordinary IQs.
Qi Hong had been around the block for many years and had long since become accustomed to this phenomenon.
However, he had never thought of doing anything to change or help these vulnerable groups.
Seeing Jiang Cheng aiding these children now, he couldn't help but feel an extra measure of respect for him.
Just then, a rumbling sound approached from afar, and soon two ultra-long trucks loaded with supplies slowly drove into the school playground.
Once the vehicles came to a stop, over a dozen workers got out.
The truck driver got out and walked toward Qi Hong: "Boss, I've brought the goods. Should we unload now?"
Seeing Qi Hong look at him, Jiang Cheng nodded and instructed, "Unload them."
After Jiang Cheng spoke, several workers began to busily unload the goods with great enthusiasm.
These workers came from poor families themselves, and they had already found out along the way what this truckload of supplies was for.
When they heard that someone had donated so many supplies to the children of Hope Primary School, they were both shocked and full of admiration.
Seeing Jiang Cheng directing Qi Hong, they were even more shocked; the group hadn't expected the donor to be such a young man.
One by one, they couldn't help but give Jiang Cheng a thumbs-up in appreciation.
Although they had also once hated the injustice of the world and the unequal distribution of wealth,
at this moment, facing Jiang Cheng, they felt heartfelt respect.
In the face of such selfless kindness, the group worked very hard, quickly unloading the supplies.
As the supplies appeared before everyone one by one, their praise for Jiang Cheng grew even more.
Zheng Qiu's eyes couldn't help but turn red with excitement as he looked at the mountain of supplies.
With a trembling voice, he called out to a child who lived nearby: "Xiao Can, come here. Go home and tell your parents to come here to collect the supplies the school is distributing to you. Oh, and tell them to notify the other neighbors to come and collect them too."
After saying that, Zheng Qiu excitedly joined the unloading team, helping to direct the placement of the goods on the playground.
The student named by Zheng Qiu immediately stepped out upon hearing this.
He looked to be nearly 10 years old.
On his somewhat dirty face, his lively eyes were now filled with shock and restraint as he looked at the boxes of supplies.
Although the expression on his face shifted constantly, his tone was unusually calm: "Teacher Zheng, are you saying those things on the truck are for us?"
Upon receiving Zheng Qiu's affirmative answer, his restrained calmness could no longer be maintained, and with a face full of joy, he turned and sprinted toward the school gate.
Jiang Cheng had never seen such a variety of emotions on a child's face before, and for a moment, he felt a mix of feelings.
After Xiao Can left, the other children seemed to realize that the things on the truck were supplies for them.
One by one, they couldn't help but start gathering near the truck.
Looking at the boxes of supplies, dozens of pairs of clear, innocent eyes couldn't help but be filled with longing.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng could no longer hold back and walked toward the unloaded supplies.
He took out several boxes of milk and beef jerky, then opened them with a utility knife from the truck.
Seeing Jiang Cheng unpacking, Xia Meng and Qi Hong seemed to understand his intention.
They immediately went over to help Jiang Cheng open the other boxes.
They then began to distribute the milk and beef jerky to these starving children.
At first, some children looked at each other stubbornly, not daring to reach out and take them.
Seeing their at-a-loss expressions, Jiang Cheng's heart couldn't help but ache.
He smiled gently at them: "Don't be afraid. Your teacher is right here. This is for you, take it and eat."
