The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Just thinking about these things made Gao Chuan's blood rush and his body heat up uncontrollably.

If the Qin family continues to provide financial support, will Ji'an be able to reach that position—General—in five or eight years?

After calming down a bit, Gao Chuan was incredibly grateful that his nephew had listened to his advice, chosen the Qin family, and chosen a bright future!

Gao Chuan forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, striving to maintain a calm tone, and said in a deep voice:

"I understand. I can deduct this amount from the 10 billion yuan deposit that the Qin family paid in the early stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Cheng'an immediately corrected him:

"Director Gao, you misunderstand. My master meant to transfer another one trillion over, not for you to transfer funds from there. That deposit will remain untouched."

"The purpose of this call was simply to report to the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, nothing more."

"what?"

A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Gao Chuan's face, followed by an even more extreme shock.

He originally thought that the 100 trillion was all the Qin family's money, and that Qin Zheng had made this phone call to take out 1 trillion to help his nephew.

But he never expected that the Qin family's wealth was far greater than he had anticipated!

The billions in security deposits remained untouched, while trillions in cash subsidies were readily available!

How much money does the Qin family actually have?

At this moment, he fully realized that he had underestimated the true strength and terrifying power of the Qin family from beginning to end.

"Okay, okay."

Gao Chuan quickly composed himself, his tone becoming more serious.

"Then you can directly transfer the funds to the official corporate account of the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, and make a note that it is a special subsidy for the defense of the southern border. I will immediately start the expedited filing process."

Lu Chengan quickly transferred the money, and finally gave his instructions:

"Director Gao, my father specifically instructed that he hopes this fund will be put into use in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible, so that it can be invested in border defense construction and benefit the soldiers guarding the border. The sooner it arrives in the account, the sooner the pressure on the border will be relieved."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Qin!"

Gao Chuan spoke with utmost solemnity and conviction.

"The funds will be transferred in full to the Southern Xinjiang Garrison Command's official account tonight!"

Even if Qin Zheng doesn't ask, he will expedite the process immediately.

This is the war zone where his own nephew is stationed, a real opportunity for political achievement, and an excellent chance to consolidate his own position. He cares about it even more than the Qin family.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Chuan immediately had someone file a record, and then transferred the one trillion to the official account of the Southern Xinjiang Garrison.

Tonight, the southern border region is destined to be turbulent and the whole country will be shaken.

……

But the nights in southern Xinjiang are destined to be anything but peaceful.

Besides the undercurrents surging in the shadows, the commotion on the surface was obviously much greater, because the transfer of one trillion yuan could not be avoided by the Finance Department of Southern Xinjiang Province.

At the same time, when Gao Ji'an received Qin Zheng's one trillion yuan in aid, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

He never expected that the financial assistance offered by the Qin family would arrive so quickly, reaching him in less than half an hour.

Just as he was still reeling from the shock, his personal cell phone rang urgently. The caller ID showed: Secretary Su Wenjing.

The Party Secretary of Yunnan Province.

Gao Ji'an frowned slightly, then answered the call.

"Major General Gao."

Su Wenjing's gentle and steady voice came through, seemingly ordinary in tone, but actually containing a hint of inquiry.

"The Provincial Department of Finance just received a report from the General Administration of Customs regarding a large-scale fund transfer. Your garrison region has just received a massive sum of money, amounting to trillions of yuan?"

"Yes." Gao Ji'an did not hide anything and responded frankly.

Su Wenjing didn't bother with roundabout tactics and directly played the victim.

"I have served in southern Xinjiang for many years and have never seen such a huge amount of special funds for border defense."

"Currently, many counties in southern Xinjiang Province suffer from lagging infrastructure, weak industries, and huge gaps in people's livelihood and economy, and funds are needed everywhere to revitalize them."

"Look at this huge sum of money, could we allocate a portion for infrastructure development, public welfare support, and industrial upgrading within the province?"

"This can also be seen as a way to indirectly promote the overall development of southern Xinjiang, with the military and civilians helping each other and achieving mutual benefit."

These words, though seemingly a suggestion, actually carried a clear intention to extort money.

A trillion yuan in cash would be a super resource in any province, enough to shake up the entire province's economic landscape. Su Wenjing couldn't possibly remain unmoved.

Faced with the probing, Gao Ji'an remained firm and unwavering, directly declining the offer.

"Secretary Su, I'm sorry."

"This funding is a special border defense subsidy, and its use is strictly limited to the construction of defenses in southern Xinjiang, the upgrading of military equipment, and the protection of soldiers guarding the border. It is a dedicated fund and cannot be misappropriated. I have no authority to allocate it to the local people's livelihood and economic sector."

His status is special; as a major general in the theater command and the highest commander of the southern border garrison, he is directly under the command of the central government.

Although his military rank was at the deputy provincial/ministerial level, slightly lower than Su Wenjing's at the full provincial/ministerial level, the two were completely independent of each other and not in the same system, with no superior-subordinate distinction.

The provincial party secretary has only the authority to coordinate and request cooperation, and has no right to interfere with or allocate military affairs and special funds in the war zone.

Moreover, Su Wenjing wanted to forcibly intervene in this funding, how could he possibly agree to that!

Upon hearing this, Su Wenjing did not get angry. Instead, his tone became even gentler, and he began to play the emotional card, feigning sympathy and weakness, and pleading with her.

"Major General Gao, I am well aware that border defense is of utmost importance and military discipline is extremely strict."

"But you also know that southern Xinjiang has a weak foundation, lagging development, many mountainous areas, poor transportation, and the people live in poverty."

"A stagnant local economy, insufficient job opportunities, and weak social security will indirectly affect border defense logistics and grassroots stability maintenance. Ultimately, they are all interconnected."

"I don't ask for much. You just need to allocate a small portion of resources appropriately to drive local development. This will also be considered as the military and civilians working together to build the southern border."

He was well-versed in the ways of officialdom; if forceful coercion failed, he would resort to persuasion.

Upon hearing this, Gao Ji'an remained silent for a moment.

Su Wenjing is, after all, the top official in southern Xinjiang, a provincial-level official who has long governed the region and cultivated a deep understanding of the local situation. There is no need to completely ruin the relationship.

After much deliberation, he finally revealed the core details.

"Secretary Su, I can tell you the truth clearly."

"This trillion-yuan sum is neither a government appropriation nor a military budget, but rather a special fund provided by the newly wealthy Qin family in their personal capacity to support border defense construction in the southern Xinjiang garrison area."

"I will invest all of this money in border defense to reduce casualties among our soldiers."

Su Wenjing on the other end of the phone fell silent instantly.

It was actually funded by the Qin family!

Su Wenjing was naturally aware of the Qin family's situation, but he did not expect that the Weiheng Supervisory Bureau would allow the Qin family to fund Gao Ji'an.

The amount of information behind this is enormous!

Is there something fishy going on, or...?

Could the Qin family be the ones to break the record?

Su Wenjing was meticulous and had cultivated his career in officialdom for many years. He sensed something was amiss in this matter.

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Wenjing's mind, and his heart trembled.

Perhaps he could try contacting the Qin family to sound them out?

After all, he, like Gao Ji'an, held a position in Jiangnan, seemingly holding a high position of power, but in reality, he was in an awkward situation.

Southern Xinjiang is remote, economically underdeveloped, and resource-scarce, far from the core circle of the capital. For many years, no top family has been willing to win him over or support him.

With no one to support him from above and no resources to help him from below, his career path has long been stagnant, with no hope of promotion and a dilemma of whether to advance or retreat.

But now, with the Qin family's trillion-dollar resources backing him, Gao Ji'an has gained immense support overnight. Within a few years, he will surely achieve remarkable political achievements and rise through the ranks.

Upon realizing this, a fierce ambition and desire instantly ignited in Su Wenjing's eyes.

No, he needs to find someone to support him too!

Since Gao Ji'an was able to rise rapidly with the backing of the Qin family, why couldn't he take the initiative to contact the Qin family and seek their support?

He's so eager to improve!
