Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Never Dig One’s Own Grave
"Uncle Three left?" Qi Taiguo had returned from the military, and not seeing Cheng Su’s Uncle Three, he couldn’t help but ask.
"Mhm, the renovation team has prepared a house, and he’s moved over there," Cheng Su replied.
"He sure moves fast."
Cheng Su humd in affirmation, then added, "I don’t know when Big Sister and the others will co over, but we’ve already got a lead on a house. It’s not far from the new shop--a bungalow. I plan to go check it out. If it’s suitable, I’ll rent it, so they’ll have a place to stay when they arrive."
"When are you going? I’ll co with you to take a look," Qi Taiguo said eagerly after hearing this.
"I’ll make so ti tomorrow," Cheng Su hadn’t planned anything in particular; it was just that today she received a call from the interdiary, ntioning a house that she thought might suit her.
Qi Taiguo thought for a mont, then said, "Then let’s go together tomorrow at noon. The area around the train station is chaotic."
Cheng Su nodded, then cast a sidelong glance his way.
"What’s wrong?" Qi Taiguo felt uneasy under her gaze.
"Today, I noticed that Doctor Chiang has returned," Cheng Su said, raising her eyebrows. "Didn’t you see her?"
"I did. She even brought
so specialties from old Beijing," Qi Taiguo frowned and continued, "But I shared them with the lads."
Quite frank!
Cheng Su said, "You didn’t feel touched at all? She brought you specialties the mont she returned. She seems to hold Commander Qi in a special regard!"
Shaless Chiang the Fox, really becoming brazen as hell!
Qi Taiguo’s scalp tingled at the sound of this, and he quickly explained, "I’ve nothing to be touched about. When she brought them, the office door was open, with Xiao Zheng standing guard outside. He’s very clear about everything. It was definitely not the two of us alone in a space."
Actually, it was truly botherso for him. The mont Chiang Qing returned, she made her way to his office, carrying a bag of items. Was he supposed to throw them back in her face?
He said he didn’t like sweets, but politely accepted and thanked her. Before Chiang Qing even left, he handed them to Xiao Zheng to distribute, turning Chiang Qing’s face green with anger.
Dealing with soone like Chiang Qing was indeed a headache for him. He’d told her countless tis, explicitly and implicitly, about the importance of maintaining a distance between n and won, but it seed like she just didn’t get it.
So-called arrogance and indifference, all bullshit. She was nothing but a clingy plaster.
"You’re getting tense. I didn’t accuse you of anything," Cheng Su humd.
Qi Taiguo approached her, saying, "I always rember your words and my identity, maintaining my distance from other won."
"That’s good to know. Don’t be bewitched by a Fox Spirit and her love potion, Qi Taiguo. Being admired and adored by won often becos an executioner’s curse. One wrong step, and you’ll never be able to turn things around," Cheng Su warned.
"I understand," Qi Taiguo said.
Cheng Su gave him a stern look, "Once unfaithful, always unacceptable. If you really take a wrong step, I’ll divorce you imdiately, no argunts!"
"Look at you, bringing this up again," Qi Taiguo said helplessly.
"Just make sure you understand, paying attention to your image. Don’t give others sothing to hold against you. Being criticized ans your reputation is at stake. You just had a talk with the organization," Cheng Su added, "Self-destructive actions are absolutely out of the question."
A tarnished record, accumulating over ti, could only be detrintal to one’s political career, especially for a soldier like Qi Taiguo. If he were said to have a reputation problem, then his future promotions would be severely discounted by the organization. That would indeed be digging his own grave.
Qi Taiguo frowned slightly, his gaze becoming heavier, and he nodded, "I understand."
