Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1604

Chapter 1604: Chapter 1605: Old Qi Has an Epiphany

Ning Ge looked at Qi Taiguo in astonishment. He really had changed, now using connections to maneuver.

In the past, Qi Taiguo relied solely on himself, climbing up through grit and determination. Even with connections like Ning Ge and Ning Gang, he never asked for favors.

For the first time, he wanted to use connections to shift his position.

Had Qi Taiguo conformed to the world now?

"I always thought your pride would hold, that you’d never ask for something like this," Ning Ge said.

Qi Taiguo took out a cigarette, offered one to him, lit one for himself, and said, "In the past, I disdained this. I thought relying on one’s own skills was best. But over the years, so much has happened, and I’ve realized that for a grassroots soldier like me, reaching the top is nearly impossible. You either need support from a wife’s family like Jiang Conghe or use connections to get by..."

"Times are changing, people are changing. If I want power and want to climb step by step, how many years would that take? In war, the worst scenario is a strong enemy and a weak self. Now I have your sister-in-law and Xiao Qi. I need to protect them and think for them. As for pride..." Qi Taiguo laughed. "Can it feed me? Can it protect my family?"

Having gone through loss, death, and betrayal, Qi Taiguo has understood the impermanence and couldn’t help but become an ordinary man.

Being ordinary—if it means the people he loves and cares for can live well—what’s wrong with it?

To live well, to live the way he wants, he must strive and give.

With connections in hand, if he can avoid a few detours, why not use them? What’s the point in fighting for temporary pride?

"I can’t guarantee I’ll do much better, but in my position, I will give my all to live up to the expectations of the family and the nurturing of Chief Ning," Qi Taiguo said to Ning Ge again.
