Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1722: Striving Upstream

The information Ning Ge received was quickly shared with Qi Taiguo.

“What do you think?” Qi Taiguo asked him after hearing it.

“No thoughts, if water comes, we cover it with soil; if soldiers come, we fend them off with generals. It’s a good chance to test the limits of this Shen fellow.” Ning Ge replied lightly.

Qi Taiguo thought of the dangers he faced with the Loo Family and said, “Don’t be careless, could there be any danger?”

“Hey, stay calm. The Capital is my turf.” Ning Ge heard the concern in his words, deliberately adopting a relaxed tone: “Now in the whole of the Capital, who doesn’t know I’m Fourth Young Master Ning who walks sideways like a crab.”

Qi Taiguo laughed and said, “Still, better be careful, don’t lose it like Jingzhou due to overconfidence.”

“Got it.” Ning Ge said, “Chiang Qing, she’s just relying on her looks, spoil her if you can, love her if you can. But can you put your entire family fortune into her? Shen Rong is already old, he’s not stupid, and even if he is, his two wives and children definitely aren’t!”

Qi Taiguo, hearing this, felt slightly relieved and said, “I won’t say much else, but remember, caution is the boat to safety; you know that, right?”

“Alright, don’t be so naggy. I told you just to inform you, to be honest, you’re stuck on that island, it’s hard even to come out, what more can you do? Just serve the country well and strive forward.” Ning Ge said.

Qi Taiguo laughed wryly: “If I can’t even protect my wife and family, what’s the point of talking about serving the country? Sometimes, I envy you, doing as you please without being bound by rules. With an identity like mine, there are just too many regulations to follow!”

As a soldier, he represented national dignity and had to follow more rules than ordinary people. Even roughhousing would lead to punishment, let alone killing, which would strip him of his military rank and send him to prison.

Otherwise, if a soldier casually killed someone, how could the public trust you?

Ning Ge sensed the despair in his tone and said, “Talking about this is pointless. Actually, once you’re strong enough and have enough power, ordinary people won’t dare to provoke you.”

That’s the rule of the game, survival of the fittest; if you’re strong, if you have power and influence, others won’t dare to act recklessly, or they’ll be swallowed whole.

At the end of the day, it’s all about not having a high enough position!

This is why Qi Taiguo strives so hard to climb the ranks.

“It’s too long.” Qi Taiguo sighed.

“No need to rush, what is meant to be yours will be yours. Some things can’t be hurried, you’re only 32.” Ning Ge pointed out.

Qi Taiguo responded with a hum.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Taiguo sat in silence for a while, checked the time, and made a call home.

The person who answered was Cheng Su; she was playing with the child.

Hearing Qi Taiguo’s voice, she quickly called Qi Xiaoqi: “Xiao Qi, come on, it’s your dad, call him dad.”

“Ah ah.”

The clear baby cooing came through the phone line, and Qi Taiguo’s cold heart instantly melted, subconsciously softening his tone when calling his son’s nickname.

“He can’t say it yet, but I guess it’s soon. Don’t worry, I’ll teach him to say ‘daddy’ first.” Cheng Su said with a smile.

Qi Taiguo gently said, “Let him learn ‘mommy’ first, you’ve worked hard these days!”

As the head of the family was absent, raising the child and taking care of his parents depended on her, and he was genuinely grateful and guilty.

“It’s not hard, our son is so much fun!” Cheng Su laughed and shared the child’s amusing stories with him, and Qi Taiguo listened with a broad smile, his eyes slightly moistening.

In this life, he only wished for his family’s well-being, nothing more.
