Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: A Career Change Might Not Be So Bad

At night, Qi Taiguo tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep due to all the worries about the military downsizing.

Cheng Su, agitated by his restlessness, sat up and said, "What’s bothering you so much? Just spit it out. Your flipping around is practically cooking me alive."

Qi Taiguo was amused by her comment and sat up as well, sighing, "I’m just worried about the downsizing the higher-ups are planning. You know about it, right?"

Cheng Su pondered for a moment, nodded, and asked, "When does it start?"

"Next month. I’m thinking Old Zhou might be on the list," Qi Taiguo said gravely.

"And you, will you be on the list of those being downsized?"

Qi Taiguo was stunned for a moment and said, "I hadn’t thought about that."

He really hadn’t ever considered the possibility that one day he might no longer be a soldier. Now that Cheng Su asked him, he truly wasn’t sure.

"Well, there you go; stop overthinking it," Cheng Su patted his arm and said. "Each person has their own path, and how we walk it is already arranged by fate. Overthinking it is redundant; better to just face it with acceptance."

For instance, her mysterious arrival in this era and the fact that she replaced the person who had caused her death—wasn’t that also an arrangement by fate?

"It’s true what you say, but I still feel sorry for him," Qi Taiguo muttered. "When I first got here, Old Zhou helped me a lot. Now, to see him facing a job transition at his age, I just can’t bear it in my heart."

"What comes will come. Actually, transitioning isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Comrade Xiao Ping is focusing on the economy, and the country’s economy is bound to rise. I think Commander Zhou could definitely start from here, and who knows, he might even become a market tycoon in the future!" Cheng Su shrugged.

"A lifelong soldier switching to economics? At his age, in his mid-forties?" Qi Taiguo snorted. "Not everyone is like you, with a brain that always seems to be one step ahead."
