Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Determined to Win

Hearing Chiang Qing’s words, Qi Taiguo’s face darkened, and he suddenly felt an immense dislike for the person in front of him, as if she were everywhere, an inescapable ghost.

Qi Taiguo didn’t even want to talk to her and walked around her to go back and rest. There would be tough battles to face starting tomorrow, and he needed his full energy for them, not to waste it on idle chatter with her.

Chiang Qing’s brow furrowed, wondering if this man was too cold.

”Commander Qi, surely you’re not angry with me just for making a joke?” Chiang Qing stopped him, half teasing, half complaining.

”Doctor Chiang, what do you mean by stopping me at this late hour?” Qi Taiguo asked, looking at the hand in front of him with a cold tone.

Chiang Qing’s lips pouted slightly as she thought it through, knowing Qi Taiguo’s character: he was straightforward and definitely not one for any sly tricks. Engaging him in small talk was probably impossible.

With that thought, Chiang Qing changed the subject, saying, ”Although our Health Center came for an exchange and to learn, we are also here to provide assistance to you. Of course, I hope that our soldiers will march forward courageously, unharmed by the petty night prowlers, but accidents are by definition unexpected, and who knows what might happen next? Therefore, I would like to discuss with Commander Qi how our Health Center can cooperate with your team to provide timely medical assistance to the injured. What do you think, Commander Qi?”

At this point, Qi Taiguo felt he could not leave anymore. Considering they were at the county guesthouse’s restaurant of the public security bureau, he pointed to a table: ”Sit over there.”

Chiang Qing breathed a sigh of relief inside; indeed, this was the only way to win this bet.

”What are your thoughts, Doctor Chiang?” Qi Taiguo asked with a stern business-like attitude after sitting down.

Chiang Qing cleared her throat and said, ”Keeping in touch is a must...”

Qi Taiguo listened carefully, inwardly surprised because Chiang Qing’s points were all on target, very clear and coherent.

He had thought she was just a pretty face with no substance, but contrary to his expectations, she was not only erudite but extremely talented as well.

Now observing Chiang Qing with her serious and thoughtful demeanor, Qi Taiguo felt somewhat abashed about his misconception, realizing that he had misunderstood her.

What he didn’t know was that Chiang Qing’s pride stemmed from having real cause for it.

From a young age, she had an advantaged background, starting ahead of others at the starting line. The atmosphere at home also compelled her to strive for excellence, and getting into military medicine was no accident. It was not only due to her family background but also her own preference and ambition, which led to her achievements.

Therefore, Chiang Qing’s pride was not without reason.

”I understand everything Doctor Chiang has said. I will mention it to Commander Gao and we’ll proceed according to Doctor Chiang’s suggestions,” Qi Taiguo said in a warmer tone after Chiang Qing finished speaking.

Chiang Qing clearly felt the softening in Qi Taiguo’s tone, less rigid than at the beginning, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit joyful internally. Indeed, only by discussing work could she break through his defenses.

”In that case, I will await your notice!” Chiang Qing said with a smile.

Qi Taiguo nodded, glanced at his wristwatch, and said, ”It’s getting late, Doctor Chiang should rest soon.” Standing up, he prepared to leave.

”Ah!” Chiang Qing hadn’t expected him to leave so abruptly and hurriedly called out to him, but seeing his sharply defined profile, she gave a smile: ”Commander Qi, goodnight!”

Qi Taiguo nodded in response.

Watching him walk away, a determined glint shone in Chiang Qing’s eyes. There was no rush; she could afford to take her time.
