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

"After all, someone who can be recruited into Gao Qilin's company must be a talent."

Chapter 654 Saving Ma Teng

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ruilong felt that the suggestion was quite feasible and nodded.

“Okay, let’s try to recruit Ma Teng.” He decided, “Tell him we are willing to offer better treatment and development opportunities. As long as he is willing to join our company, we will fully support him.”

Zhao Ruilong's men acted swiftly, quickly arranging for Ma Teng to meet in a private room at a high-end restaurant.

The man looked unremarkable, but he possessed an invisible sense of oppression, as if the entire room was frozen because of him.

"Why did you invite me to the Zhao Group?" Ma Teng asked the man directly.

His brows were furrowed, his gaze sharp as he stared at the other person, his expression a mixture of doubt and wariness.

The man suddenly smiled, looking very calm. "Mr. Ma, please believe me, our invitation to you is absolutely genuine."

His voice was deep and firm, “The Zhao Group hopes to hire you to join us. We believe you have extremely high potential.”

Ma Teng listened silently, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

However, the man seemed to have anticipated Ma Teng's reaction.

He continued, "We are willing to offer you better treatment and development opportunities. As long as you are willing to leave Qiangsheng Group and join us, we will fully support you."

"To further demonstrate the sincerity of our Zhao Group, I would like to give you a detailed introduction to our company's background and future development plans."

The man's voice was loud and confident, seemingly filled with boundless enthusiasm and confidence for his company.

Ma Teng frowned and impatiently interrupted the man's story.

“I’m sorry, sir. But I’ve been doing very well at Qiangsheng Group.”

“So it’s impossible for me to leave Qiangsheng for your company.” (bgci) The man was furious at Ma Teng’s decision.

"You should know that if you miss out on an opportunity like the Zhao Group, you will definitely regret it!"

"Mr. Ma Teng, please reconsider, otherwise I cannot guarantee your personal safety."

The man's voice was somewhat muffled, revealing a hint of sinister intent.

Ma Teng frowned in annoyance, and looked at the man firmly, saying, "Sir, even if you threaten me, I will not join you."

Upon returning home, Ma Teng sensed something unusual about the Zhao Group's invitation to him.

He stepped into the living room, his heart filled with a mixture of doubt and unease. His brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn.

Ma Teng began to recall the recent series of events, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

Why did the Zhao Group approach him and even threaten him? Is it related to Gao Qilin?

So he quickly dialed Gao Qilin's number, and the call was answered almost immediately.

"Ma Teng, what do you need me for?" Gao Qilin's voice was calm and deep.

"Mr. Gao, people from the Zhao Group contacted me and want me to leave Qiangsheng Group. I refused, and they even threatened me."

Ma Teng told Gao Qilin the truth.

Gao Qilin listened quietly to Ma Teng's voice coming from the other end of the phone, his brows furrowing slightly.

After Ma Teng finished speaking, he thought with some surprise, "It's quite interesting that Zhao Ruilong would actually use Ma Teng to get revenge on me this time."

After a moment of silence, Gao Qilin finally spoke, "Ma Teng, don't be afraid, I'll have someone keep an eye on things."

"Thank you, Mr. Gao," Ma Teng said.

After hanging up with Ma Teng, he dialed Guo Shaoheng's number.

After a few rings, Guo Shaoheng's deep voice came through: "Hello, is this President Gao? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gao Qilin remained silent for a while on the other end of the phone, thinking about how to express his request.

He knew that now was not the time to hesitate, but a critical moment to take immediate action.

"Guo Shaoheng, I have a task for you. I need you to find a few reliable people to protect Ma Teng," Gao Qilin said firmly.

"The Zhao Group invited him but he refused. Knowing Zhao Ruilong's personality, he will definitely retaliate against him."

"President Gao, please rest assured, I will do my best to find the best person to protect Ma Teng," Guo Shaoheng replied solemnly.

Gao Qilin breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Guo Shaoheng's reply.

He knew of Guo Shaoheng's outstanding abilities and loyalty to him.

“Okay, I believe you will handle this task well. We must protect him; he’s a real talent,” Gao Qilin said firmly.

Guo Shaoheng nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao. I will keep in touch with you at all times and ensure Ma Teng's safety."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Qilin took a deep breath.

A few days later, a group of burly men broke into Ma Teng's home.

The burly man's fierce appearance frightened Ma Teng, who then began to fight back desperately.

Then, the bodyguards sent by Gao Qilin appeared and displayed their skillful fighting techniques, engaging in a fierce battle with the burly man.

The burly man was no match for them and fled the scene in a panic.

Chapter 655 The Arrival of Gao Qilan

"Thank you for saving me." Ma Teng said gratefully, panting, looking at Gao Qilin, the bodyguard standing in front of him.

The bodyguard nodded expressionlessly, his demeanor seemingly cold yet reassuring. "Just carrying out my mission," he said calmly and firmly.

Just after Ma Teng was rescued by the bodyguard, Guo Shaoheng rushed into the office upon receiving the news.

"Mr. Gao, I just received news from Ma Teng's side." Guo Shaoheng quickly stepped forward and reported to Gao Qilin.

Gao Qilin sat at his desk, his eyes fixed intently on Guo Shaoheng. "What's going on? Tell me."

"Zhao Ruilong sent men to arrest Ma Teng, but his bodyguards rescued him later."

Gao Qilin nodded slightly. "You did very well."

Guo Shaoheng couldn't help but reveal a proud smile. Zhao Ruilong's face was ashen; he glared angrily at his subordinates, his eyes blazing with fury.

Inside the Zhao Group office, the place was in complete disarray, with shattered documents scattered everywhere.

"You bunch of useless trash! A bunch of good-for-nothings!" Zhao Ruilong slammed a phone down. "Ma Teng actually—you let him get away!"

His men all lowered their heads, not daring to look Zhao Ruilong in the eye.

They were fully aware of how repulsive their mission failure was.

"Hey, what are you all still standing there for? Get out!" Zhao Ruilong waved his hand aggressively, ordering his men to leave the office.

Upon hearing Zhao Ruilong's order, these people hurriedly left.

The room fell silent again, except for Zhao Ruilong letting out a heavy sigh.

His temper had not yet subsided; the flames of anger burned within him relentlessly. Leaving aside Zhao Ruilong's rage, Gao Qilin was about to leave his office after get off work when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

He frowned, wondering who could be so unlucky as to come knocking on his door.

The moment he opened the door, he saw a young woman standing in the doorway, wearing a fresh dress and a bright smile on her face.

"Brother!" the woman exclaimed excitedly.

Gao Qilin was stunned, never expecting to see his younger sister Gao Qilan at this moment.

He scratched his head habitually, feeling puzzled.

"Qilan? What are you doing here?" Gao Qilin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Gao Qilan smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you in so long. I came all the way from out of town to see you."

Gao Qilin felt somewhat speechless. "I was just about to go home..."

“Brother, please come shopping with me.” Gao Qilan interrupted him. “It’s been so long since I’ve spent time with you.”

Looking at his sister's satisfied eyes and expectant expression, Gao Qilin suddenly felt that his previous anger had become insignificant.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go shopping with you."

Gao Qilan beamed with joy, took her brother's hand, and left the office happily like a little girl.

"Brother, I miss you so much," Gao Qilan said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Gao Qilin gently patted his sister's hand. "I miss you too."

They suddenly stopped in front of a clothing store in a shopping mall.

Gao Qilan blinked her big eyes excitedly at the various beautiful clothes in the mall, "Brother, let's go look at the dresses first!"

Gao Qilin smiled and nodded, "Okay, Qilan, which one do you like?"

Gao Qilan walked through the crowd, holding her brother's hand and pointing as she went, "That pink dress is so beautiful! I want to try it on."

· ·······Request flowers·· ········

The two walked over to the pink dress, and Gao Qilin picked it up and handed it to his sister, saying, "Here, try it on."

Gao Qilan happily accepted the dress, "Thank you, brother!" She turned and walked into the fitting room.

As Gao Qilin stood outside waiting, he suddenly saw an inconspicuous little boy run into their side.

The little boy stood on tiptoe, reached out and touched Gao Qilin's head, and innocently asked, "Big brother, what are you playing?"
