Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1563: No Pepper Is Spicier Than Old Ginger

The alcohol was an exceptionally strong foreign liquor, with a lasting effect, and everyone was intent on riling each other up; this glass of liquor was indeed poured quite full. Chiang Qing downed it in one gulp, without waiting for the lasting impact. Her cheeks immediately burned like an evening sunset, making her face even more radiant.

She flipped the glass upside down with a smile to show she had finished it, but couldn’t withstand the aftereffects of the liquor, and nearly stumbled.

"Careful." Old Master Wang immediately supported her.

But Chiang Qing’s smile froze for a reason - the old guy’s hand was right on her shapely buttocks, and it was moving.

Damn old lecher!

Chiang Qing pretended not to notice, smiled, and said thank you, then sat down smoothly.

Old Master Wang’s eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he sat down with a smile, his eyes unable to leave Chiang Qing’s face.

Gao Hongbo noticed, but was not at all annoyed; instead, he smiled and slowly sipped his wine, the interest in his eyes was both excitement and a bit of eager anticipation, making it hard to understand.

Chiang Qing felt a bit dizzy.

At the table, they started talking about the Ning Family, which made her shudder and focus.

"Ning Gang is still rising in rank, but it’s no surprise. The old master of the Ning Family has set his position there, no lack of connections; it’s only natural it’s his turn now..." Li Ming, sitting next to Gao Hongbo, said lightly.

He was also the head of a department in the Capital, naturally well-acquainted with the noble circles of the Capital. These so-called connections were actually all about alliances.

"The Ning Family is quite in the spotlight now. Speaking of which, if it wasn’t for Xiao Chiang’s father’s incident back then, it’s uncertain if Ning Gang would’ve gotten his turn!" Old Master Wang glanced at Chiang Qing.

Everyone was stunned, remembering that this beauty was the daughter of the former Commander.

A young lady from such a noble background now submits under Gao Hongbo’s influence, demonstrating the importance of power?

No wonder everyone wants to climb higher, hoping for high rank and weight; with power comes everything. How does the saying go about power ruling the world? Just look at Gao Hongbo to understand!

At his age, he can still have such a beautiful companion; how delightful!

Gao Hongbo saw the envy and admiration in everyone’s eyes, feeling proud, and then looked at the submissive Chiang Qing beside him, feeling even more pleased.

"Excuse me, I’ll be right back." Chiang Qing suddenly stood up and rushed to the bathroom.

Everyone looked at Old Master Wang and said, "Look at you, you’ll upset the beauty now, see how Secretary Gao might be mad at you."

"It’s all my fault, Secretary, please don’t blame me, I can’t seem to speak properly!" Old Master Wang chuckled.

Gao Hongbo lightly swirled the liquor in his glass and said, "Your words aren’t right; our relationship isn’t less than a woman’s, right?" He paused, then added, "But beauty, she’s still a child; when coaxing is needed, you have to coax her. Whoever upset the beauty should personally go retrieve her; I won’t help you!"

These words...

Those at the table felt a stir, and looked at Old Master Wang, eyes flashing with a touch of envy.

Old Master Wang couldn’t hide his excitement and tentatively looked at Gao Hongbo: "Secretary, do you truly allow this?"

"What’s there to not allow? But take care not to be provoked by little Chiang, she’s quite the spicy ginger!" Gao Hongbo laughed heartily.

Old Master Wang said, "No matter how spicy, can she be spicier than us, old gingers?" He picked up his glass and clinked it with Gao Hongbo’s. "Secretary, rest assured, I’ll certainly help you soothe the beauty!"
