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

“I’ve received a batch of fine tea, far superior to yours. Besides, what could possibly be more important to you than me, Tiger? If you don’t come today, you’re disrespecting me.”

Faced with Gao Qilin's refusal, Zhao Hu showed no intention of backing down, and his attitude became much tougher than before.

Zhao Hu had never forced Gao Qilin to do anything before, so when Gao Qilin heard him say that, he sensed something was wrong and felt that Zhao Hu had something to ask him.

Zhao Hu was an important partner of his now, and Gao Qilin did not want to offend Zhao Hu, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Since Tiger has said so, I can't refuse anymore. You can wait at home for now, and I'll come find you after I've prepared some things for you."

"You've come to my house several times already, so there's no need to prepare anything. Just tell me to come quickly; my tea is already brewed, and I can't wait for you."

Upon hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin realized it was an urgent matter, so he didn't say anything more, hung up the phone, and 833 headed towards him.

Fortunately, Qiangsheng Group was not far from where Zhao Hu lived, and Gao Qilin arrived in less than half an hour.

Upon seeing Gao Qilin arrive, Zhao Hu immediately went out to greet him and cautiously observed the surroundings outside the door. Only after confirming that no one was outside did he carefully close the door.

"Why did you call me over in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

After Zhao Hu closed the door, Gao Qilin could no longer contain his curiosity and began to ask questions.

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhao Hu burst into laughter and exclaimed:

"It seems you understand what I mean. Actually, I didn't want to tell you this, but a few days ago, I discovered that Zhao Ruilong had installed a listening system on my phone. Whenever I make a call, he knows who I'm calling and what I'm saying."

At this point, Zhao Hu looked quite helpless; he never expected to be treated this way one day.

"Isn't Zhao Ruilong less capable than Tiger? Why are you afraid of him?"

Upon realizing that Zhao Ruilong was listening in, Gao Qilin looked puzzled and voiced his doubts.

“He may not be as capable as me, but don’t forget, he has a powerful father. It’s much easier for his father to deal with me.”

"To be honest, I've been a pretty unsuccessful person. At this age, I have to be careful and wary of others in everything I do. I can't find any meaning in my life anymore."

After saying this, Zhao Hu looked helpless and let out a long sigh.

"Tiger, you mustn't say that. You're already in a very high position, but there are always people more powerful than you. So I don't think it's necessary to care too much about those things. As long as you're comfortable now, that's enough."

Upon hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin immediately began to comfort him, trying to cheer him up.

"You don't need to tell me, I know all this perfectly well. Alright, let's not talk about this in the yard anymore, let's go inside quickly. Didn't I tell you on the phone that I've already made tea for you? I can wait for you, but the tea can't wait."

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and led Gao Qilin into the house.

Once inside, Gao Qilin immediately pulled up a chair for Zhao Hu to sit on and skillfully picked up a teacup from the side to make him tea.

"You've only been here a few times, yet you know the layout of my house so well. If you come a few more times, won't you be able to treat it like your own home?"

Seeing Gao Qilin's practiced movements, Zhao Hu began to tease him.

"Tiger, you're being too polite. We're family, so of course I know the layout here."

"You're such a smooth talker, buddy. Your words always make me happy."

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhao Hu burst into laughter and downed the tea that Gao Qilin had poured for him.

After seeing Zhao Hu finish his tea, Gao Qilin went over to him and looked quite troubled.

"It seems you've run into some trouble too. We're already this close, so if there's anything you need, just tell me directly. There's no need to go through these formalities; those formalities are just for outsiders."

With just one glance, Zhao Hu realized Gao Qilin's intention and immediately asked him a question.

"Since even Tiger noticed, I'll just say it directly. Zhao Ruilong actually came to see me a couple of days ago, under the guise of an inspection."

……

Gao Qilin told Zhao Hu everything that had happened in the previous two days.

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhao Hu instantly flew into a rage and roared:

“This Zhao Ruilong is outrageous. He attacked crops today, and he might attack people in a couple of days. Wait for me, I’ll find someone to avenge you and let him know what happens when he offends you.”

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong picked up his phone and started searching through his contacts.

Seeing Zhao Hu like this, Gao Qilin quickly stopped him and said:

“These things happened a long time ago, there’s no need to dwell on them anymore. After all, neither I nor the people around me were hurt, and it’s not a big deal.”

"This isn't a big deal? I told you before, you're someone I, Tiger, protect. If someone dares to cause trouble for someone I protect, then that's a big deal. Don't worry, with me protecting you, we don't have to suffer any injustice."

However, Zhao Hu did not take Gao Qilin's words seriously at all, and continued to search on his phone after speaking.

“I don’t think it’s necessary for me to affect you. You’ve said before that Zhao Rui has an official father who’s keeping you in check. If you cause trouble for him, Zhao Dong will naturally not let you off the hook, and then you’ll be in deep trouble.”

Because Zhao Hu was too emotional just now and hadn't thought about those issues at all, he calmed down instantly after hearing Gao Qilin say that and began to think about it seriously.

After seeing that Zhao Hu had calmed down, Gao Qilin continued speaking:

"Moreover, I've also come up with a way to deal with him. I won't even need Tiger to lift a finger; I can make him pay the price he deserves."

"You've thought this through perfectly. Since you have a solution, I won't interfere. I trust my little brother's abilities. But I'll say this upfront: if you encounter any problems you can't solve, remember to contact me immediately. I'll definitely help you."

"Don't worry, Tiger. You're the first person I think of when something happens. After all, there's no one else to look after me right now except you."

After hearing what Zhao Hu said, Gao Qilin continued in the same vein, and then picked up the teapot next to him to pour him more tea and chat with him.

After chatting for a while, Gao Qilin felt that the time had almost passed, so he looked down at the time and said:

"It's getting late, and I still have some things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer. If you need anything later, just give me a call, and I'll answer your call immediately."

After saying that, Gao Qilin got up to leave, but he hadn't taken two steps when Zhao Hu's voice came again.

"Wait a minute, there's something else I haven't told you yet. Now that you've come all this way, let's get this straight before you go, so you don't have to make another trip next time."

"So Tiger has something to do. Just tell me what it is, and I'll do my best to help."

Upon hearing that Zhao Hu had other matters to attend to, Gao Qilin immediately went back and pretended to listen attentively.

"Actually, nothing major has happened on my end, just some business stuff. I don't know if you've ever researched stocks before. I have a few friends who have made a lot of money from stocks and gained considerable status through it, so I'm thinking of giving it a try in the stock market. What do you think of this idea?"

"This... I feel there's something wrong with this. Tiger, you have to understand that stocks are too risky. If you buy the right ones, you can make a lot of money, that's true. But if you buy the wrong ones, you'll be lucky if you don't lose money, let alone make any. I think you've heard before that many people have gone bankrupt because of stocks."

After hearing Zhao Hu say that, Gao Qilin expressed his opinion and even gave him some examples to convince him to give up.

· ·······Request flowers·· ········

"Those who lose everything because of stocks do so because they don't understand stocks at all and start buying them randomly. Naturally, they will lose money. But I'm different. Before you came, I had already done some research on stocks and had a certain understanding of them. I think that kind of situation is unlikely to happen to me."

Zhao Hu had already made up his mind, so when he saw Gao Qilin opposing him, he showed a displeased expression.

However, he didn't show it. Instead, he continued explaining some basic facts to Gao Qilin, trying to convince him.

........ ... .......

"If Tiger has already done the research, then I'll make a fortune in the stock market with Tiger. When I become rich, don't forget about me."

After hearing what Zhao Hu said, Gao Qilin sensed that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more. He knew that once someone made up their mind, no matter what he said, he couldn't change it.

"I'm telling you those things not so you can bless me, but so you can do them with me."

Seeing that Gao Qilin had misunderstood him, Zhao Hu immediately explained and earnestly told Gao Qilin about the intricacies of the matter.

But Gao Qilin had absolutely no interest in stocks and such things, and he didn't dare say it to Zhao Hu's face, so he could only endure listening to him finish speaking.

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he didn't forget to praise him.

"You've heard so much from me, are you starting to get interested? If you are, don't hesitate, join me now! The stock market is doing well these days; if we delay a couple more days, who knows what might happen."

Chapter 457 Seeking Consent

Seeing how attentively Gao Qilin was listening, Zhao Hu revealed his intentions and looked at Gao Qilin expectantly, hoping to gain his approval.

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin looked very troubled, because he knew that in this situation, he couldn't agree or not agree.

"I can't believe that Tiger saw through my little scheme. To be honest, it's true what you said. After hearing what you said, I was indeed tempted. However, I can't make a decision on this right now. I need to go back and discuss it with my family. But don't worry, Tiger, I will let you know as soon as I have a result."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news at '837'. Go quickly, and remember to call me when you have the results. I'll be waiting for you there."

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhao Hu looked very satisfied. After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Gao Qilin and focused all his attention on the pot of tea in front of him.

Seeing that Tiger was no longer leaving him, Gao Qilin did not linger and left directly for the village.

By this time, about half a day had passed, and Lin Ran was already getting impatient waiting on the mountain.

"What's going on? So much time has passed, why hasn't he come yet? Did he really run away?"

Seeing that so much time had passed and Gao Qilin still hadn't come, Lin Ran began to question things.

"Don't worry, he definitely won't run away. He probably encountered some trouble on the way and was delayed. He should be here as soon as he finishes what he's doing."

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Gao Qilan immediately offered an explanation.

"Yes, he's not that kind of person at all. Let me tell you, he's spent tens of millions of dollars on our village. He can afford to spend so much money, so he certainly won't be short of yours. So don't worry."

After Gao Qilan finished speaking, the village chief began to explain on Gao Qilin's behalf.

Seeing what the two of them said, Lin Ran didn't know what else to say and waited again.

After what seemed like an eternity, the sound of a car passing by finally came from ahead.

Upon hearing the sound, Gao Qilan immediately perked up and looked down the mountain, where she saw the driver heading uphill.

"You're finally here. What have you been doing? It took you so long to get the money. People might think you ran away."

However, upon seeing Gao Qilin, Gao Qilan immediately began to complain, after all, he had said many nice things to Lin Ran during the waiting period.
