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

Originally, Meng Dehai had already considered the Jinghai City Expressway construction project as belonging to Gao's Real Estate.

But now.

With the Shanshui Group suddenly getting involved, how can one not be worried?

Just then, Gong Kaijiang spoke up, "District Chief Meng, are you worried about... the bidding process for Gao's Real Estate?"

The words fell.

Meng Dehai did not deny it, but simply nodded: "Yes, Gao's Real Estate developed right under our noses, has an innocent background, and has made a huge contribution to municipal construction."

"If Gao's Real Estate can win the bid for the expressway, it will definitely be better than the unknown Shanshui Group."

As he spoke, Meng Dehai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

With the arrival of the Shanshui Group...

The purpose of those leaders who said they were to be transferred from Handong Province is probably quite meaningful.

It's hard to say whether they were after the seven billion.

At this moment, Gong Kaijiang spoke up again: "District Chief, if it's about the bidding process, you don't need to worry at all."

"Don't forget, Gao's Real Estate also owns plot 063 in Qinghua District, which almost encompasses half of the construction area for the expressway."

"In this way, even the Shanshui Group from out of town has no chance of winning the bid!"

As Gong Kaijiang finished speaking.

Meng Dehai's expression instantly relaxed.

Yes.

How could I have forgotten?

The Gao family also owns plot 063 in Qinghua District.

As long as they hold this land, neither the Shanshui Group nor the Shanhai Group can shake the Gao family's competitiveness in the slightest...

Gao's Real Estate is the only, and most powerful, bidder!

Chapter 142 Gao Xiaoqin's Invitation, Rejected!

the other side.

In the bidding office of the Municipal Construction Commission.

The members of the highway bidding team sat in the conference room, with only a thin stack of reports in front of them.

The person sitting in the main seat quickly spoke up: "The scope of this bidding process is actually very small. There are only two companies in the entire Jinghai City that are qualified to participate in the bidding."

"One is the Construction Engineering Group, and the other is Gao's Real Estate."

"I believe everyone knows the final result, but the necessary procedures still need to be followed."

"Everyone, stay alert and stand firm at your posts. This is the biggest project in Jinghai City in the last ten years..."

……

at the same time.

Gao Xiaoqin sat on the sofa in her hotel suite and lazily yawned.

He turned to his subordinate and asked, "How are the arrangements going?"

"Once we get to Jinghai City, we should at least pay our respects to the local authorities."

The subordinate standing nearby said, "Well... it will take some time to visit the officials, after all, we're new here."

"The city bureau chief, Cheng Du, said he was willing to meet with us, as well as Chen Tai from the Construction Group and Gao Qiqiang from Gao's Real Estate. We have already sent them invitations."

"I don't know when they will respond."

Gao Xiaoqin nodded slightly, a complex light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Okay, I understand, you go down first."

……

the other side.

Inside the general manager's office at Gao's Real Estate.

At this moment, Gao Qiqiang had a puzzled look on his face and was holding an invitation in his hand.

"Gao Xiaoqin from Shanshui Group...what does she want with me?"

Muttering to himself, Gao Qiqiang was filled with deep doubt.

after all.

I had long heard of the Shanshui Group's reputation.

In the more prosperous Handong Province, Shanshui Group can be described as having a monopoly.

Although Gao's Real Estate is thriving in Jinghai City, it is actually nothing compared to Shanshui Group.

The fact that Shanshui Group had taken the initiative to extend an invitation left Gao Qiqiang somewhat puzzled.

But a gut feeling told Gao Qiqiang...

We must discuss this matter with Gao Qilin!

……

the other side.

At Chen Tai's home.

Looking at the invitation in front of him, Chen Tai revealed a mysterious smile.

"I never expected that the people of Jingzhou would think so highly of an old man like me and ask me to come and pay my respects."

"What a pity."

As he spoke, Chen Tai stood up with his hands behind his back and chuckled, "This old man of mine is retired. What business could I possibly have with you?"

After saying that, Chen Tai gestured for his subordinate to step forward and said calmly, "Send the invitation to Shu Ting. If Shu Ting doesn't want to go, then decline it."

……

Not long after.

It's evening.

Inside the Gao family's study.

Gao Qilin, Chen Shuting, and Gao Qiqiang sat in the study. Chen Shuting and Gao Qiqiang both looked tense.

Chen Shuting spoke first: "Qilin, should we accept the invitation from Shanshui Group?"

"Shanshui Group is a fairly large enterprise in Jingzhou City. I really don't know what they're here in Jinghai City for this time..."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting's brows furrowed tightly.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin simply smiled faintly.

"What can they come here for? Of course, they're here to steal the Gao family's livelihood."

Even as he said these words, Gao Qilin's face remained calm and composed.

"The general manager of Shanshui Group is Gao Xiaoqin, but do you know... who the real boss of Shanshui Group is?"

Chen Shuting and Gao Qiqiang exchanged a glance, then shook their heads in unison.

Gao Qilin didn't keep him in suspense and quickly said, "Zhao Ruilong."

“You might not know who he is just by his name, but… his father is Zhao Lichun.”

As Gao Qilin finished speaking.

Chen Shuting and Gao Qiqiang both gasped in shock!

Zhao Lichun!

A high-ranking official at the vice-national level!

It frequently appears in Chinese news...

All of a sudden.

The entire study was completely silent; no one spoke for a long time.

After a while.

Gao Qilin smiled and took a sip of tea: "Why is everyone so quiet?"

Chen Shuting swallowed hard and uttered a hypothesis she least wanted to guess.

"Qilin, is this Shanshui Group trying to compete with us for the highway project...?"

The words fell.

Gao Qiqiang looked somewhat nervous.

And soon.

Gao Qilin waved his hand and sat down in a more comfortable position in the chair.
