CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Gao Xiaoqin's phone rang, and the caller was Zhao Ruilong.

Gao Xiaoqin took a deep breath and quickly answered the phone.

Just as I had expected.

Despite having committed such a serious offense, Zhao Ruilong showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Xiaoqin, are you getting used to life in Jinghai City?"

Gao Xiaoqin even smiled slightly while talking on the phone, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

“Young Master Zhao, how could I possibly get used to staying in Jinghai? As you know, I just came out of the Municipal Bureau.”

Zhao Ruilong chuckled twice: "I know, I know, otherwise would I be calling you now?"

"Xiaoqin, I've thought about it, and staying in Jinghai City is still too dangerous for you. What are you, a delicate woman, going to do with a man?"

"Besides... you've made such a huge mess, haven't you?"

“I think it’s better to leave things to Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei. As for you, come back soon and live a good life with me.”

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin's voice still carried a hint of amusement: "Young Master Zhao, I also want to go back to see you as soon as possible... but..."

Soon, Gao Xiaoqin's voice lowered: "I've made such a huge mess, how can I face you..."

As Gao Xiaoqin finished speaking, Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but chuckle, his mind wandering somewhat.

"Xiaoqin, why are you saying that?"

“We’re family, so if you made a mistake here, you can make up for it in other ways.”

"When do you want to come back? I'll pick you up from the airport then."

But at the moment.

Gao Xiaoqin did not agree, but stammered, "Young Master Zhao, I... I don't want to learn how to distinguish them yet..."

Done.

Zhao Ruilong's tone suddenly changed: "Not coming back?"

"If you're not coming back, what are you planning to do in Jinghai?"

Gao Xiaoqin quickly adopted a wronged tone: "Young Master Zhao, it's not what you think."

"I... I have a new idea. This time, we can definitely deal with Gao Qilin."

“Young Master Zhao, the land plots currently being built for the highway are from plot 061 to plot 063 in Qinghua District.”

"The reason why Gao Qilin's side is progressing so smoothly is because they have the 063 plot of land."

"If we can acquire a piece of land, wouldn't that stop them from building the highway?"

As Gao Xiaoqin finished speaking.

Zhao Ruilong's expression immediately changed on the other end of the phone, and a serious look appeared on his face.

He then slowly began to speak: "Tell me your thoughts."

Gao Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems this matter... is still plausible!

but.

On the surface, Gao Xiaoqin did not relax at all, but continued, "Young Master Zhao, you see, once we get this plot of land, even if we can't get Gao's Real Estate's highway project..."

“When the land is demolished in the future, we can make good use of this land and squeeze a lot of money out of them.”

"What if the demolition budget exceeds... do you think they can still continue building the highway?"

After Gao Xiaoqin finished speaking.

Zhao Ruilong on the other end of the phone immediately showed an expression of appreciation.

Unfortunately, Gao Xiaoqin couldn't see anything through the phone.

They could only wait anxiously for Zhao Ruilong to continue.

And soon.

Zhao Ruilong then spoke up.

“Very good, Gao Xiaoqin, this is a good idea.”

"But I have to tell you that it took me a lot of effort to get you back this time, and I also promised you that I would not interfere in the construction market of Jinghai City again."

"But now it seems that it is still very necessary for you to stay in Jinghai City and do what you just mentioned."

"I'll have to spend a lot of money and favors, so... don't let me down."

Gao Xiaoqin's heart pounded, and she quickly whispered, "Yes, Young Master Zhao, this time... I will definitely not let you down!"

As they were talking, Zhao Ruilong quickly hung up the phone, seemingly busy smoothing things over.

At that moment, Gao Xiaoqin sat on the sofa holding her phone, and her palms had become ice-cold without her noticing.

In my heart, there was a deep sense of lingering fear!

Sure enough.

As expected, the condition for leaving the Municipal Bureau was that I would no longer interfere in these matters.

But clearly, her greatest value lies in becoming Zhao Ruilong's treasure trove.

If I were deprived of these business rights by the 227 Movement...

How will Zhao Ruilong treat himself?

A bitter smile crept onto Gao Xiaoqin's lips; she didn't even dare to think any further...

……

the other side.

In the Gao family.

The small pot in the kitchen was bubbling away. Gao Qiqiang sat at the dining table and said with a smile, "Alright, dinner's ready!"

Gao Qilin didn't rush to eat; instead, he asked, "Brother, what's stewing in that pot?"

Gao Qiqiang said "Oh," and picked up his chopsticks first: "It's nothing. I made some porridge for you. It was ready right after you finished eating."

"We'll heat it up for you tonight as a late-night snack or tomorrow morning when you want to eat it."

Gao Qilin quickly nodded: "Okay."

Gao Qiqiang has always taken meticulous care of his family, and Gao Qilin has gotten used to it.

At that moment, Gao Qisheng asked, "Brother, did you leave any for me?"

Gao Qilin held out his chopsticks as if to hit someone: "How could you not get a share? Eat properly, don't talk while eating or sleeping!"

Only after he finished speaking did Gao Qisheng finally quiet down.

With Gao Yue absent, the three brothers ate a simple meal and quickly finished eating and drinking.

Gao Qilin slowly wiped his mouth and said gently, "Brother, it's almost Chinese New Year, isn't Xiaolan going on winter break soon?"

now.

As Gao Qilin finished speaking.

Gao Qiqiang slapped his thigh immediately: "Hey, Qilin, I almost forgot!"

"Xiao Lan hasn't called back in a long time, I need to call her and ask."

After the words fell.

Gao Qisheng quickly pulled out his phone and said, "That girl Xiaolan is really heartless. She hasn't called back even once in all this time."

"Big brother, second brother, I'll call her right now and have a good talk with her!"

As he spoke, Gao Qisheng quickly dialed Gao Qilan's phone number.

At Gao Qilin's prompting, Gao Qisheng also turned on the loudspeaker.

The call was quickly answered, and Gao Qilan's languid voice came through: "Third Brother, is there something you need?"

"What did you say?"

Before Gao Qisheng could speak, Gao Qiqiang interjected, "Xiaolan, how long has it been since you called home?"

"Is it because your second brother is giving you more living expenses now that you don't miss home anymore?"

As Gao Qiqiang finished speaking, Gao Qilan immediately said in a pitiful voice, "Brother, brother, how could I dare!"

"I just changed my major, and I've been extremely busy these past few days with finals, constantly studying and stuff like that."

"I really don't have time..."

Gao Qilan explained, looking aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqiang let Gao Qilan off the hook and instead asked with concern, "Finals are coming up? Xiaolan, you must study hard."

“If you have any problems in your life, just give us a call. Even your third brother is working and earning money now…”

Gao Qilan nodded in agreement.
