Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1037: Whatever She Throws at Us, We’ll Handle It

Cheng Su stood at the door, personally escorting the group of honored guests to their cars. As the car slowly moved, she saw Chiang Qing’s eerie smile cast her way and couldn’t help but tighten her face.

When the cars were completely out of sight, her shoulders finally slumped, and she let out a long sigh.

This kind of reception, especially facing Chiang Qing, was like fighting a hard battle.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly without any incidents, except for Chiang Qing throwing a few cold remarks at her.

After the banquet, naturally, someone else handled the cleanup. Cheng Su, after a busy day, was already exhausted. She returned to the office, where Qi Taiguo and the others greeted her.

”Are you okay? You look really tired,” Qi Taiguo pulled her over to sit down, looking concerned.

”It’s fine,” Cheng Su sat down, saying, ”Everyone’s gone.”

”Tell me, what did Chiang Qing say?” Ning Ge was still uneasy about Chiang Qing.

Cheng Su took the water handed by Qi Taiguo, took a sip, and then recounted her confrontation with Chiang Qing in detail.

Taking everything that belonged to her!

Ning Ge and Qi Taiguo both furrowed their brows.

”Don’t worry, I’m here!” Qi Taiguo firmly held her gaze, speaking in a deep voice, with a hint of menace flashing in his eyes.

Cheng Su patted his hand and smiled slightly.

Ning Ge tapped the table, saying, ”It seems she still hasn’t given up.”

Cheng Su gave a bitter smile.

”What do you think she’s planning to do?” Qi Taiguo looked at Ning Ge.

Ning Ge stood up, paced back and forth, arms crossed over his chest, and after a while said, ”I can’t figure it out. But saying those things, it’s nothing but trying to hit. What does sister-in-law have? A few small businesses, she wants to suppress them? Or perhaps, ultimately, it’s still about you?”

Qi Taiguo’s face darkened.

Cheng Su glanced resentfully at Qi Taiguo, her eyes silently accusing him of causing all this trouble.

Qi Taiguo felt equally innocent; he hadn’t given any wrong signals. If his existence was the mistake, then he accepted it!

Everyone remained silent.

The atmosphere was oppressively stifling, and finally, Ning Ge said, ”Don’t think too much. If there’s a move, we’ll handle it. After all, Chiang Qing is only here for research and inspection for a few days. She usually stays far away in the Capital. She relies on the Loo Family and Jiang Conghe, making it inconvenient to do much.”

His words were meant to reassure the two of them.

But Cheng Su thought of the socializing at the banquet and said, ”What if she had one more to rely on?”

”Hmm?”

Cheng Su then recounted Chiang Qing’s interaction with Secretary Gao. It wasn’t that she had a wicked mind, but she always felt Secretary Gao was quite warm and appreciative of Chiang Qing.

If Chiang Qing used a bit of her charm...

Cheng Su frowned slightly. For someone with power wanting to do something, it becomes much easier, whereas she is just a businesswoman.

”No way, from what I know, Gao Hongbo is very cautious. He’s retiring next year, so he won’t do anything that doesn’t benefit him,” Ning Ge said.

”But since ancient times, heroes have struggled to resist beauties,” Cheng Su didn’t quite agree with him, saying that some people, faced with beauty, can forget all morals and shame.

”Do you think Chiang Qing would sacrifice her charm to target you? Her mind is always on Big Brother Qi,” Ning Ge said. ”Unless absolutely necessary, she won’t do it, and with everything she has available now, it’s enough. It’s true Secretary Gao has power, but her father is also a distinguished Commander.”
