"Commander Qi, it’s not that I look down on your wife, Cheng Su, that’s her name, right? She’s just a country girl who didn’t even finish high school, how could she be worthy of you?" Chiang Qing blurted out despite Qi Taiguo’s astonishment, continuing, "Commander Qi, you have a promising future, you deserve better."
Qi Taiguo was not pleased to hear her disparage Cheng Su and his face turned cold as he said, "Doctor Chiang, my wife is very good, please do not insult her. Moreover, I am also from the countryside, both my wife and I are country folk, we are a natural match."
Chiang Qing became anxious, "That’s not what I mean, I didn’t say you..."
"Enough," Qi Taiguo furrowed his brows, "I don’t know what Doctor Chiang intends to do, nor am I interested in finding out. If it’s about official business, you can report to me, or to the company commander or regimental commander. But for personal matters, I believe my acquaintance with Doctor Chiang is merely casual, and our relationship is not close enough to discuss private matters. Please keep your professional and personal lives separate."
"You!" Chiang Qing’s face changed color.
She had been considering his situation from his perspective, for goodness’ sake. She had seen his file, knew very well what kind of person he was, and had heard many colleagues praise him; even her father said that if this man didn’t suffer any major setbacks, his future was bright.
So why should he be held back by such a woman?
"Additionally, Doctor Chiang, as you are a city dweller, your lifestyle might not quite align with ours from the countryside. We are more traditional, once married we do not divorce, and we definitely do not get involved with married individuals lightly. On this point, I would request that you respect me and also respect my wife, and be mindful of the influence," Qi Taiguo said sharply, his tongue poisoned by her carelessly chosen words and sarcasm toward Cheng Su, which he could not tolerate.
By now, he was certain that Chiang Qing was utterly mad, who else would be so brazen in their attempts to become involved with him?
With that thought, Qi Taiguo stood up and ’escorted’ her out the door.
Chiang Qing’s self-esteem was deeply wounded by Qi Taiguo’s attitude.
