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

After a while.

Gao Qilin put down his chopsticks and said to Gao Xiaoqin in a low voice, "Gao Xiaoqin, I'm afraid your invitation to come here today is not as simple as just having a meal, is it?"

Gao Xiaoqin took a deep breath and quickly smiled: "Mr. Gao is joking."

"I'm new to Jinghai. Besides meeting some important people and having a meal, what important things could I possibly have to do?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin merely narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "In that case, I misunderstood."

As he was speaking, Gao Qilin's phone rang.

Gao Qilin gestured to Gao Xiaoqin to apologize, then answered the phone: "Xiaolong?"

"I told you I had an appointment with Ms. Gao from the Shanshui Group today. What is it that you have to call me about?"

Gao Qilin deliberately feigned anger.

Gao Xiaoqin frowned instantly.

For some reason, she had a premonition...

Gao Qilin's phone call was clearly intentional.

as predicted.

Gao Qilin quickly spoke meaningfully: "The tender documents? Haven't they already been arranged?"

"We are determined to get the highway built."

"In Jinghai City, anything the Gao family sets their sights on must belong to the Gao family, understand?"

After saying that, Gao Qilin quickly hung up the phone and then gave Gao Xiaoqin an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates are inconsiderate. They have to call me for such a small thing."

That's what he said.

But in reality, both Gao Qilin and Gao Xiaoqin knew the truth.

Gao Qilin's phone call was deliberately made so that Gao Xiaoqin could hear it!

Gao Xiaoqin didn't dare to completely believe Gao Qilin's polite words. Instead, she changed the subject and asked cautiously, "I just heard Mr. Gao say... it's about the bidding for the Jinghai Expressway?"

"I think Mr. Gao is already determined to win?"

A smile appeared on Gao Qilin's face: "Of course. The bidding process for the highway construction is now over, and I think that apart from the Gao family, no one else should be able to get a share of the profits."

"Or do you... intend to participate in the construction of the highway?"

Gao Xiaoqin's heart skipped a beat.

Has the bidding process for the expressway project concluded?

So fast?

If the Gao family really wins the bid and contracts the highway construction, then bringing down Gao Qilin will likely become even more difficult...

Thinking this, a complicated expression flashed across Gao Xiaoqin's face, and then she forced a smile and said, "Then I congratulate Mr. Gao in advance."

"However, as far as I know, the construction of a highway requires a considerable amount of money."

"I never imagined that Gao's Real Estate had such a strong financial foundation."

The words fell.

Gao Qilin immediately showed a somewhat troubled expression.

"You're joking. Actually, funding for construction is a major headache for me right now."

"I wonder... if Miss Gao has any connections?"

Although that's what they say.

But in reality, Gao Qilin was not short of money for the construction of the expressway.

This was merely Gao Qilin testing Gao Xiaoqin in front of him.

At that moment, Gao Xiaoqin gasped in astonishment.

Does Gao Qilin mean he wants to find someone to cooperate with in building the highway?

But then I thought about it...

Gao Xiaoqin hesitated.

After all, with such a lucrative project as the highway, how could Gao Qilin possibly be willing to share the pie with others?

What's more...

If Young Master Zhao finds out about my collaboration with Gao's Real Estate, he'll probably throw a huge tantrum.

Shanshui Group will definitely try to win the highway project.

But if we can't secure it, and the opportunity really comes along, it's better to collaborate personally and take a cut from the project...

While pondering this, Gao Xiaoqin carefully asked, "Does my Shanshui Group really have an opportunity to cooperate with Gao's Real Estate?"

Gao Qilin said calmly, "That depends on Miss Gao's sincerity."

……

Not long after.

After the dinner ended, Gao Xiaoqin felt embarrassed to prolong the meal any longer, as she was facing a young and handsome man.

The two left early.

As soon as he got home, Meng Yu was the first to greet him: "Gao Qilin!"

"I heard you went out to dinner with a beautiful woman today?"

As she spoke, Meng Yu kept sniffing around Gao Qilin's body with her little nose.

It was as if I could smell something wrong with my nose.

Chen Shuting, who was standing nearby, also came up and teased with a smile, "Boss Gao is quite the ladies' man."

"She's both the head of the beautiful investigation team from the capital and the beautiful general manager of the Shanshui Group."

Gao Qilin smiled helplessly and pinched Meng Yu's cheek: "You guys."

"Stop fooling around, everyone. Go do what you're supposed to do."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin changed out of his coat and walked into the bedroom.

Meng Yu was about to follow.

Chen Shuting called out to Meng Yu, a half-smile on her face: "Xiao Yu, what time is it? It's not even dark yet. Can't you wait?"

Meng Yu's pretty face flushed instantly, and she subconsciously looked away, appearing somewhat guilty: "Sister Shuting, what are you saying..."

Chen Shuting smiled generously.

"Alright, we've all been there, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"There's some nourishing soup simmering in the pot. Drink it before you go up."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting looked meaningfully at Meng Yu's lower abdomen: "It's good that you can give Qilin a son sooner."

Meng Yu blushed slightly and nodded gently...

……

the other side.

At the hotel where Gao Xiaoqin was staying.

At this moment.

Gao Xiaoqin's face was full of anxiety as she dialed a number on her phone.

Before long, the other party sent back a message.

"Sister Xiaoqin, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that the bidding process has already ended."

"The official bidding process has been shut down, so we simply can't submit our bids anymore..."

A hint of displeasure flashed across Gao Xiaoqin's face: "We are the Shanshui Group. We can prioritize and advance all the funds for highway construction. Such a huge advantage..."

"They do have advantages, Sister Xiaoqin, but it's Gao's Real Estate..."

"Gao's Real Estate owns the entire plot of land in Qinghua District 063, which almost covers half of the construction site for the expressway."

"Moreover, as for advance payment, Gao's Real Estate can also apply for a loan."

"Most importantly, the entire real estate market in Jinghai City is currently controlled by Gao's Real Estate and Construction Group. If others were to enter the market... they would likely face numerous obstacles."

"As you know, Gao's Real Estate and Construction Group are the same company."

Gao Xiaoqin couldn't listen to it anymore and quickly hung up the phone.

A hint of anger appeared on her pretty face.

What is this bidding evaluation?
