CHAPTER 986: CHAPTER 987: BEWARE OF THE MAD DOG BITING

Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo returned home, and Cheng Su couldn’t rest until she dragged him to talk about Dong Jun.

"This Deputy Battalion Commander Dong, is he the one who fought with Commander Zhou for the position last year?"

Qi Taiguo nodded, feeling burdened as he picked up the now cold tea and drank it.

Cheng Su frowned and said, "You should pay more attention to this guy. He doesn’t seem like any good bird to me."

Qi Taiguo spat out a mouthful of water.

Cheng Su looked at him with disdain.

Qi Taiguo coughed twice and said, "Why do you talk like that?" Such vulgarity, not any good bird, uh, though it’s fitting, coming from her mouth, it feels a bit odd.

"Didn’t I say the truth? Didn’t you see his look just now? He looked at you as if poisoned, quite creepy." Cheng Su handed him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Qi Taiguo said, "He’s taking his anger out on others. He wasn’t nominated for Battalion Commander this time."

"Not getting promoted is his own issue; who can he blame? Besides, he was just promoted to Deputy Commander last year and already wants an upgrade this year; does he think he’s an elevator?" Cheng Su snorted with disdain.

"Everyone’s temperament is different. He is indeed anxious. Moreover, he’s not been having a good time lately either. I heard he was called by the leadership several times for talks due to family conflicts!"

Cheng Su heard gossip and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Come on, what’s the story? Tell me; how is he having a hard time? Let me have some fun."

Qi Taiguo gave in to her, thinking there was no harm in sharing, so he told her.

"...Back when he was courting Chiang Qing, it was all hidden and tucked away, but in the end, it reached his wife’s ears. I heard his wife isn’t someone easy to deal with, naturally she caused trouble, their conflict escalated, and of course their superiors found out, it’s all affecting things. Plus, his wife personally approached the superiors to report, so..." Qi Taiguo shrugged.

Cheng Su listened and laughed heartily, saying, "So that’s it, the trouble’s because of a fire in the backyard!"

Alright, that description is quite accurate, so Qi Taiguo said, "You could say so."

"That’s really funny; he dared betray his own heart, trying to reach higher branches, and still thought nobody would cause a fuss. Relying on women to climb higher, I say that Dong Jun is not only not a good bird but also a lapdog." Cheng Su’s disdain deepened, "If he keeps relying on these connections, he’s not going any further; in the future, he surely can’t outdo you."

Qi Taiguo said nothing, but he agreed with Cheng Su’s words, especially considering that Dong Jun privately slapped soldiers, indicating his morals and mindset.

"But no matter what, you still need to be careful of him. There’s a saying: beware of petty people. He might not harm you openly, but secretly trip you up with ease. You’ve just got this position; it’s not fully stable yet!" Cheng Su seriously cautioned, "Beware of mad dogs biting."

"Got it, you sound like a housekeeper!" Qi Taiguo laughed at her.

Cheng Su lunged over to scratch him.

Qi Taiguo caught her and then asked about her plans for tomorrow.

"In a few days, the factory will be on holiday, some things need to be arranged, plus Ning Ge is not around, so everything falls on me; I’ll be busy at the factory." Cheng Su wrinkled her nose, complaining, "The company is clearly a joint venture, but Ning Ge is always absent, no idea what he’s up to, all secretive, humph!"

Qi Taiguo flashed his eyes, said a few good words about Ning Ge, and changed the subject with a smile.
