Chiang Qingâs current situation?
Ever since the incident with Qi Taiguo, she relapsed into illness, and it cost her everything, including her future and reputation.
But Chiang Qing is fortunate. Luckily, she comes from a good family background. On her motherâs side, thereâs a thriving business family, and on her fatherâs side, her biological dad is a Commander.
So, whether she remains a military doctor or not doesnât really matter. With such a strong support network, she can totally turn the tables.
Not to mention, Chiang Qing herself has the allure of a goblin, and her mental illness is intermittent. Once treated and not flaring up, who would know she has this illness?
Chiang Qing slowly re-enters the public eye, playing it cool and speaking freely. With such backing, did she really lose her future? She can rebuild it. Is her reputation totally destroyed? She can rebuild that too.
Thus, with the help of those behind her, Chiang Qing became a public welfare ambassador for orphan care, frequently visiting welfare and orphanage centers to donate love.
Thatâs not all. Based on this gradually rebuilt reputation, she swiftly joined the government as a public servant.
Cheng Su wasnât wrong in guessing that the Chiang Qing on the list is indeed the Chiang Qing she knows, who is now the Deputy Director of the Operations Department of the Information Division. This time, sheâs here in Qing City with their top superior for research.
"Truly, itâs like a centipede that doesnât die easily, she turned things around so effortlessly!" Ning Ge said with a somber face as he hung up the phone.
Qi Taiguo looked very displeased, remembering the end of his training last year when he was preparing to return and saw Chiang Qing, his brows were tightly knit.
"Susu, donât handle the restaurantâs reception this time," Qi Taiguo decided immediately.
Cheng Su was taken aback: "Why?"
"Chiang Qing is no longer the same Chiang Qing!" Qi Taiguo finally said after a pause.
"Youâve seen her?" Ning Ge instantly caught Qi Taiguoâs implied meaning.
Qi Taiguo slowly nodded, explaining the situation when he encountered Chiang Qing during last yearâs training, saying, "She appears very normal, very amiable, but thatâs exactly why I find her frightening. That normalcy is deep, making it hard to see her true nature. I think her illness hasnât improved; it might even be worse. Itâs just a hunch!"
And such instincts have saved him from danger many times.
Ning Ge, seeing Qi Taiguoâs seriousness, also sat up straight and said, "If thatâs the case, sister-in-law, you should stay away!"
"No, this reception is very important for our restaurant!" Cheng Su rejected.
Qi Taiguo frowned and said, "The restaurant is important, but you are more important."
"Exactly. The restaurant wonât stop operating without you, just make all the arrangements," Ning Ge agreed with Qi Taiguo.
Cheng Su said, "Are you guys afraid sheâs going to do something to me? Do you think sheâs after me?"
Ning Ge gave a look that said, "You know it."
"Taiguo, you said she stood in front of you and talked to you normally. I donât think Chiang Qing would do anything to me in a public setting. If she wants to mess with me, it would be in the shadows. Sheâs already done the humiliating herself in public thing, and lost all her face. Do you think she would keep doing that?" Cheng Su said, "She wouldnât. She wonât make the same mistake twice; sheâll only get more calculated."
"Since you know that, you should avoid her even more!" Ning Ge frowned and said.
Cheng Su smiled, "If she wants to deal with me, no matter how I avoid her, sheâll still come. I can avoid her openly, but what about in the shadows?"
As she finished speaking, Ning Ge and Qi Taiguoâs expressions became even graver.
