Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1753: Chapter 1754: Core Reserve Forces

A small tree must grow into a towering tree to shelter people from wind and rain. It must become lush with foliage, and this requires a very long time, growing bit by bit, with branches and leaves slowly extending out until it becomes that giant tree.

A family is like this too, requiring inheritance and continuation through generations. No one can accomplish anything alone; they must unite as one, bound together to achieve great things.

And why cultivate relationships? Because you never know when you will need a certain power, and you never know if your family will remain steadfast.

Why did Ning Ge say Qi Taiguo is a reserve strength for several families?

Ning Gang is already standing high on the platform, but he will also age and need to step down one day. A successor is needed, and his son is still young. As for Qi Taiguo, he is in the prime of life, being cultivated in such a way that when he reaches a certain position, he can then cultivate the next generation, such as Ning Le and Cheng Jiasheng. And Ning Le and the others will later become the backstage support for someone like Qi Xiaoqi.

The benefit of networking is that it extends from one generation to another, ensuring the prosperity of the family and that there are people to rely on for future generations.

Of course, you can’t be sure there will be no mishaps during the process, but normally, this is how cultivation and extension happen.

Therefore, Qi Taiguo’s misunderstanding can be understood but never accepted.

Ning Ge can’t accept his presumed setback. Since several families have formed an alliance with aligned interests, each should maintain their position and do their duty. What Qi Taiguo can’t do due to his identity, these “dissolute scions” can do.

This is a very normal thing. Dissolute scions have their benefits. In ancient times, even a flourishing family had to nurture a couple of dissolute scions. Otherwise, if everyone is so shrewd and virtuous, are you aiming to attract the emperor’s attention? Even the emperor’s family has unworthy descendants. If you, as a minister, have none, are you aspiring for the throne?

And when dissolute scions do something, it’s not surprising. Mischievous youngsters, they’re still small!

Alright, not to get sidetracked. Put simply, Qi Taiguo may seem inconspicuous now, but steadily rising, he becomes the central power of several families, unless he is heartless, and after reaching a high position, abandons the other families, disregarding their descendants.

But would Qi Taiguo do that? Flowers don’t stay red for a hundred days. If he does so, he’d be a big fool, cutting off the path for his own children and grandchildren.

Qi Taiguo is just momentarily stuck in a dead end. Hearing Ning Ge’s words made his ears a bit warm, and his chest hot and restless. He said, “I was short-sighted.”

Ning Ge said, “I understand your thoughts, but don’t truly feel you’ve gained an advantage. Relationships between people are meant for mutual help and benefit. If you feel bad, just provide convenience to a few juniors in the future.”

“It’s not just my army!” Qi Taiguo retorted, annoyed.

Ning Ge chuckled.

“I’ll do my best to climb up,” Qi Taiguo said seriously.

Even if not for Ning Le’s generation, he would pave the way for his own children and grandchildren. He wasn’t foolish; he knew what was at stake, and how to walk the path.

Ning Ge smiled again, patted his shoulder, and returned to the brotherly rogue demeanor.

Qi Taiguo shook his shoulder, shaking off his hand, and said, “Let’s continue talking business. The matter with Chiang Qing must be resolved. Jiang Dafang is considered her brother, and he can be ruthless, let alone people like us. You and Cheng Su are outside, and I’m a bit worried, especially your sister-in-law’s side, Xiao Qi is still small.”

Anxiety showed in his brows and eyes.
