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

The whiteboard in the center was covered with densely written design schemes and development plans for Penguin Chat.

990 Ma Teng stood energetically in front of the PPT, explaining the team's recent achievements in a fluent and engaging manner. He was eager to win Gao Qilin's approval.

Gao Qilin listened attentively to Ma Teng's report, nodding occasionally in agreement.

Looking at the whiteboards on the wall that recorded countless hard work and intellectual achievements, he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

Ma Teng clearly demonstrated the increase in the user growth rate of Penguin Hot Chat using charts and data.

The number of users has been increasing month by month, and user satisfaction has also been steadily improving.

These results eased Gao Qilin's brow, and he thought to himself, "Indeed, the decision to bring Ma Teng to the company was the right one."

"We have made great strides in the highly competitive internet industry," Ma Teng said excitedly.

Gao Qilin smiled and nodded: "This is enough to prove that your ideas and concepts are correct, which is why Penguin Hot Chat has been able to develop rapidly and achieve such success."

Ma Teng was overjoyed to receive Gao Qilin's praise.

"We will continue to work hard to improve the user experience, add features and content, and bring more value to users."

Gao Qilin saw the infinite possibilities for the future of Penguin Hot Chat through Ma Teng's report.

After thinking for a moment, he interrupted Ma Teng.

"Perhaps we can consider launching more personalized customization features, allowing users to use the platform according to their own interests and needs."

Upon hearing this, Ma Teng's eyes lit up: "You're right! We can enhance user data analysis and use algorithms to recommend personalized content and activities."

"We also need to plan well for brand collaborations," Gao Qilin added. After the meeting, Gao Qilin and Ma Teng shook hands warmly, their eyes revealing their expectations for the future.

They all know that Penguin Chat has taken a solid step forward, and this is just the beginning of their journey.

Ma Teng smiled happily, feeling the joy of his hard work being recognized.

Under Gao Qilin's leadership, he believes that Penguin Hot Chat will have an even brighter future.

Back in his office, Gao Qilin sat in his large and comfortable seat, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

At this moment, Guo Shaoheng walked in, holding a document in his hand.

"Mr. Gao, I just received news from the municipal government," Guo Shaoheng said. "They've decided to develop a plot of land in the south of the city into a commercial street."

Upon hearing the news, Gao Qilin's face broke into a bright smile.

"Great! This is wonderful news!" he exclaimed excitedly.

Gao Qilin opened the file, his brows furrowing slightly.

The observant Guo Shaoheng immediately noticed his doubts and quickly explained.

"Mr. Gao, the developer for this land needs to be selected through bidding. I have prepared the relevant documents and plans for you."

After listening to Guo Shaoheng's report, Gao Qilin breathed a sigh of relief. "Very good, Guo Shaoheng. Go and make the preparations."

He said firmly, "We must strive to win this bid."

Guo Shaoheng nodded, sensing Gao Qilin's trust and affirmation of him.

He said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao! I will do my best to ensure that we can successfully win this project." After that, Guo Shaoheng quickly went back to his office and began to carefully study the relevant documents.

The documents in his hands flew by, his brow furrowed slightly. The development of this land was crucial to the company, so everything had to be handled with utmost care.

Guo Shaoheng spent several hours carefully reading each document and began to develop a detailed bidding plan.

He considered every detail, striving to make this bidding process as perfect as possible.

Late at night, Guo Shaoheng finally finished the first draft of the plan. He printed it out, intending to discuss it with Gao Qilin the next day.

The next morning, Gao Qilin was intently looking at the new plan in his office.

The document detailed all the plans and timelines. Gao Qilin couldn't help but admire Guo Shaoheng; he was truly reliable and dependable.

"Guo Shaoheng, you did an excellent job," Gao Qilin said approvingly. "You considered everything very thoroughly and completed the task in an orderly manner."

Guo Shaoheng felt very gratified when he heard the words of praise. "Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Gao."

He smiled and replied, "This bidding process is very important to us, and I will do my best to ensure everything goes smoothly." While Gao Qilin was preparing for the bidding, Zhao Ruilong sat in his office, holding the documents handed to him by his subordinate.

He was somewhat surprised when he heard that his rival, Gao Qilin, had already begun preparing to tender for that piece of land.

Competing with Gao Qilin is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the Zhao Group, and also a threat to him personally.

He carefully read the contents of the document, and a sense of anxiety welled up in his heart.

This tender is crucial for the Zhao Group; losing this land would result in a huge loss for the group.

He must take action to protect his own and the group's interests.

He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and called Zhao Dong.

“Dad!” he called out urgently after the call connected.

However, the only response from the other end of the phone was the cold voice of Secretary Ji Jiayin: "Mr. Zhao Dong is in a meeting and cannot speak to me at the moment." While waiting for his father's call, Zhao Ruilong began to have some doubts about the news that the land was going to be turned into a commercial street.

He knew the news was highly credible, but he still wanted his father's confirmation. Finally, the phone rang again; this time it was Zhao Dong calling personally.

"Dad! Is it true that the land is going to be turned into a commercial street?" Zhao Ruilong asked impatiently.

"Yes," Zhao Dong replied calmly.

After receiving confirmation, Zhao Ruilong hung up the phone, his brow furrowed.

He knew that if Gao Qilin obtained that land, it would bring incalculable losses to the Zhao Group.

"I absolutely cannot let Gao Qilin succeed! That land must belong to our Zhao Group," Zhao Ruilong said through gritted teeth.

Chapter 659 Clash between Chengyu and Muyuan

After that, he began to think about how to obtain Gao Qilin's bidding information.

However, he could not obtain it through normal channels, so a bolder idea to find a breakthrough came to mind.

"We must find a way to steal Gao Qilin's bidding information," Zhao Ruilong whispered to his subordinate.

Those around him nodded in agreement and began to discuss it in hushed tones in the office.

Zhao Ruilong cleared his throat and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"We need to brainstorm and come up with some practical solutions now." He glanced at everyone, hoping to get some valuable opinions.

The subordinates began to enthusiastically express their opinions.

Some suggested that information could be obtained by hacking into Gao Qilin's computer system, while others suggested using connections to obtain inside information.

Some people were even planning to bribe those around Gao Qilin. A glint flashed in Zhao Ruilong's eyes as he pondered how to bribe employees of Gao Qilin's company to obtain the tender documents.

He cleared his throat, his tone like that of a master manipulator: "You need to find a way to bribe the employees of Gao Qilin's company."

Finally, a nod broke the silence. Zhao Ruilong focused his gaze on the subordinate who had met his unwavering eyes.

“I have a good friend who works at Qiangsheng Group,” the subordinate said. “I can use him to contact other employees and get tender documents.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Ruilong's face; the plan seemed feasible.

“Alright, let’s try this channel. But we must ensure the operation is safe and leaves no trace.” He said firmly. That night, Zhao Ruilong’s subordinate Cheng Yu sat in a corner of the bar with a cold smile. The dim lights illuminated the smoke in the air, giving it an eerie feel.

With his strong network of connections and skillful methods, he has always been Zhao Ruilong's most capable assistant.

Kihara, a thin man with eyes flashing with fear, slowly approached Chengyu.

He trembled with fear, realizing that he was now caught in the middle of a transaction between Zhao Ruilong and Gao Qilin's company.

"So you're the one who got the tender documents?" Cheng Yu stared coldly at Mu Yuan.

Kihara bit his lip and nodded reluctantly. His eyes conveyed his helplessness and fear about his situation.

Cheng Yu laughed dismissively, "Muyuan, do you know how important this tender document is to Boss Zhao?"

"I...I..." Kihara stammered, "I will do my best to get the tender documents."

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows mockingly. "Try your best? You think that's enough? Kihara, our requirement for you isn't just to try your best, but to get the tender document! Understand?"

Kihara trembled slightly, frightened by Cheng Yu's tone and gaze. He knew he had no choice but to agree. "I...I will do it."

Cheng Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Remember, this is your only chance. If you disappoint us, the consequences will be more than you can afford."

Kihara felt even more terrified, as he clearly understood what Cheng Yu meant by the consequences.

Cheng Yu glanced unhurriedly at the cowering Kihara beside him. "Remember, we can't leave any trace." Cheng Yu smiled with satisfaction and handed Kihara a slip of paper. "This is my phone number and address. Contact me immediately after you find the tender information."

Kihara trembled slightly as he took the note, clenching his teeth involuntarily.

He knew this decision concerned his future, but under pressure from Chengdu and Chongqing, he could no longer make any other choice.

Finally, he lowered his head and nodded in defeat, promising to submit the tender documents to Chengyu next time.

Cheng Yu watched with satisfaction as Kihara's expression changed, feeling content in his heart that he had successfully manipulated a pawn.

“You made a wise choice, Kihara,” he encouraged.

"As long as you can obtain the tender information as agreed and ensure that no trace is left behind, I will give you a generous reward."

Upon hearing this, Kihara's heart stirred; the allure of money remained irresistible.

Despite his fear and anxiety, he believed that if he could successfully complete the mission and earn a generous reward, he might have a chance to start a new life.
