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

"What you just said about what you lack when you surround something... it sounds like it makes a lot of sense to me. Hey, where did you hear that from?"

Gao Qisheng smiled immediately: "Brother, when besieging an enemy, leave an opening; when pursuing a desperate enemy, do not pursue him. It's still your book."

"That copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in your study, it's new."

Gao Qiqiang slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh, oh! The Art of War!"

“I remember, I remember, it was Officer An who recommended it to me, but Gao's Real Estate has been so busy, I haven't had much time to look into it…”

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Gao Qilin simply said, "Read more books when you have time; the benefits are endless."

"Yes Yes."

Gao Qiqiang smiled with narrowed eyes: "Xiao Sheng is a scholar, and he's doing so well now. You were always number one in your class when you were in school. Studying is good."

"I need to read this book more."

……

the other side.

Mang Village.

At Li Shan's home.

Li Xiang stood at the kitchen doorway and pulled up the curtain: "Dad, don't bother. I'm just back for a little while. Why are you making so many dishes?"

"I can't finish cooking this meal, and then you'll let it spoil."

Li Shan waved his hand: "Hurry up and pull down the curtain, you're being choked by the smell of cooking oil, get out, get out."

"Besides, if you can't finish it, you can always bring it to your colleagues, right?"

"It would be great to improve relationships among colleagues that way."

As he spoke, Li Shan brought the food out of the kitchen.

Li Xiang sighed and silently helped.

After a while.

The father and son sat facing each other at the dining table.

Li Shan placed a piece of food on Li Xiang's plate: "Xiangxiang, I heard you arranged a job for Li Qing?"

Li Xiang nodded and said, "It wasn't my arrangement. It just so happened that the small restaurant across from our municipal bureau was short-staffed. A friend of mine named Gao Qilin mentioned it, and they hired him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shan's face stiffened: "Gao Qilin, the second son of Gao's Real Estate?"

"You and Gao Qilin...have a good relationship?"

Li Xiang nodded without saying anything more.

Li Shan also lowered his head again.

After a moment, Li Shan slowly spoke: "Xiangxiang, after Uncle Tian's accident, I will be the new village party secretary."

"Everyone in the village says I'm a good Party Secretary for raising a son like you. I heard you did a good job recently and are going to be the captain of the city's criminal investigation team?"

Li Xiang hesitated and said, "It's still far from certain, don't listen to their nonsense."

Whether or not he can be appointed mayor depends on a comprehensive assessment from higher authorities.

Li Shan was unaccustomed to his son speaking to him in such an official tone, and a slightly embarrassed look appeared on his face. He then forced a smile and said, "Xiangxiang."

“You are the most outstanding person to have come from our Mang Village. The uncles and elders in the village are all counting on you to make contributions to Mang Village.”

"Are you aware that our Mang Village is going to be demolished?"

Li Xiang paused for a moment, then quickly ate a bite of food to cover it up, saying, "I don't know yet. Who told you this news?"

Li Shan exclaimed, "Look at you, a public official, you're not even as well-informed as the people in our village!"

"Now your dad has told you, the village is going to be demolished!"

Li Xiang replied dismissively, "That's a good thing."

Li Shan slapped his thigh: "How can you say it's a good thing? Xiang, you have to stand up for our villagers in this matter!"

"Do you know that the company in charge of the demolition of Mang Village is Gao's Real Estate?"

Li Xiang buried his head in his food and remained silent for a long time.

Li Shan, growing impatient, lightly patted Li Xiang on the shoulder: "You brat, your father is talking to you!"

"I'm asking you, what are your thoughts on this?"

Li Xiang put down his chopsticks and frowned: "What can I think about this?"

"I think it's a good idea for Gao's Real Estate to be in charge of the demolition."

As he spoke, Li Xiang felt somewhat displeased.

after all.

Although Mangcun is my home.

However, prior to this, the conflict between Mangcun and Gaoshi Real Estate was indeed Mangcun's fault.

Moreover, Mangcun used some illegal means, so to put it bluntly... they brought it on themselves.

Moreover, after several contacts and hearing about it myself, I realized that...

Gao Qilin is a truly good person.

In particular, Mangcun was at fault first.

Li Xiang has never been one to side with relatives regardless of right or wrong.

Therefore, Li Xiang chose to avoid the situation at this moment.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Shan showed a hint of disappointment.

"A detective, huh? What good is he? He can't even help with something this small..."

Li Xiang also became a little impatient: "Dad."

"You know I'm just a junior detective, what decision can I make about something like this?"

"Gao's Real Estate is such a large business, it's impossible that they would really not give Mang Village a way to survive."

"Even if they tried to lower the price... it was Li Hongwei and Li Youtian who were at fault first, using illegal means to obstruct the Gao family's construction project!"

……

the other side.

In Gao Qilin's home, in the bedroom.

Chen Shuting had just taken her second shower of the night and was lying on the bed with Gao Qilin, wrapped in a bath towel, enjoying a tender moment.

After stretching contentedly, Chen Shuting couldn't help but laugh and said, "Thank goodness Meng Yu is here. At least someone can share the burden with me."

"Otherwise, if it's just me, by the time Chengcheng finishes her postpartum confinement, it will be a long time. I can't stand you."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting's eyes were filled with seductive charm.

It exudes the charm and satisfaction of a mature woman.

Gao Qilin smiled and pinched Chen Shuting's nose.

Soon after, Chen Shuting nestled in Gao Qilin's arms and whispered, "Chengcheng's due date has been set for late spring, around April next year."

"You're really something, getting pregnant on the first try."

"And Xiaoyu... I've calculated Xiaoyu's due date; if we're going to have a baby, it should be around this time. You need to work hard..."

The words fell.

Gao Qilin couldn't help but laugh and kiss Chen Shuting on the cheek: "Our Shuting really has the air of a head of the household!"

……

The next day.

Within the Municipal Bureau.

Around 10 a.m., An Xin came to Li Xiang's desk, shouting, "Xiang, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

Li Xiang subconsciously reached for Want Want Rice Crackers in his briefcase, but then suddenly remembered something: "Stop eating cookies, go to the water tank in the water room and get my lunchbox."

“Yesterday when I went home, my dad gave me some meatballs.”

An Xin chuckled and was about to go get it.

But soon.

An Xin also noticed something was wrong and turned around, saying, "Xiang, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

"You and your uncle... had a fight?"

Li Xiang subconsciously shook his head: "No."
