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

He can only be subservient to others...

and so.

This confrontation with Gao Qilin can only succeed; failure is not an option!

Thinking this, Gao Xiaoqin gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Young Master Zhao, please give me another chance."

“The construction of the expressway project is a long process, and until it is finally completed, everything is uncertain.”

"For a small company like Gao's Real Estate, if its cash flow is even slightly disrupted, it can be completely ruined..."

The words fell.

Zhao Ruilong fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay."

"Gao Xiaoqin, don't let me down in these three years."

……

the other side.

Gao family.

In the bedroom.

Gao Qilin, Chengcheng, and Chen Shuting sat on the small sofa and bed in the bedroom, respectively.

Chen Shuting hesitated for a moment before speaking first: "Qilin, although the expressway project has been approved, the people from Shanshui Group haven't gone back yet."

"Do you think... they might not have come for the highway?"

The words fell.

Before Gao Qilin could say anything, Chengcheng shook her head: "Impossible."

"What else could possibly make the Shanshui Group make a special trip here for Jinghai? It must be because of the highway issue."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin smiled faintly and nodded: "Indeed."

"Shanshui Group is well-informed; it's impossible that they didn't know we had won the bid."

"It's very likely... that they're still up to no good and want to try to tamper with the bidding process to snatch the project from us."

Chen Shuting nodded: "That is indeed possible."

"After all, from the outside..."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting looked slightly troubled, but she still chose to speak.

"Although Gaojiahe Construction is the dominant player in Jinghai, it is actually a small company with limited funds. If problems arise, it is easy for the supply chain to break down."

"If the funding chain dries up, it will be a huge problem, and they will be able to take advantage of the situation..."

The words fell.

Gao Qilin smiled faintly.

"You're right."

"Our Gao family is at a disadvantage against the Shanshui Group no matter how you look at it."

"But how do we turn an overall disadvantage into a local advantage, or even completely transform a disadvantage into an advantage..."

"That's what we're going to do next."

Chengcheng and Chen Shuting both looked thoughtful.

Gao Qilin continued slowly, "My brother once read a book and mentioned a sentence in it."

"You have to find a way to turn your enemy into your friend."

……

the other side.

Inside the hotel.

Gao Xiaoqin was trying to find a way to break through the Gao family's defenses.

As the person who changed the entire situation in Jinghai City, Gao Qilin was naturally known to many people in Jinghai City, who even knew about his rise to power!

So soon, one of his subordinates found out what Gao Xiaoqin needed.

That is……

There is a huge conflict between Mangcun and Gao's Real Estate!

Moreover, Mangcun is a place where poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people, making it extremely difficult to deal with!

Not only that.

The Gao family still controls the land in Mang Village, which is a necessary route for the highway.

In other words, the Gao family's demolition of Mang Village is necessary, and based on the previous conflicts between Mang Village and the Gao family...

Regardless of whether the Gao family will actually do anything underhanded, Mang Village will definitely have doubts about the amount of the demolition compensation they receive!

Thinking this, Gao Xiaoqin suddenly stood up.

The breakthrough... has finally been found!!

Chapter 149 Provoking Mang Village: The Shanshui Group's Plan

Not long after.

Jinghai City.

Inside the Huixin Teahouse.

In the box.

When Gao Xiaoqin opened the door, there was already someone sitting in the private room.

The man had the air of a farmer, with short, graying hair, an aged face, and wore drab black trousers and a camouflage short-sleeved shirt.

It was Li Xiang's father, and also the current village party secretary of Mang Village, Li Shan!

At this moment, Li Shan wore a restrained smile, rubbed his hands on his pants several times, and then extended his hand to Gao Xiaoqin: "Hello, hello, you must be Manager Gao from Shanshui Group, right?"

Gao Xiaoqin extended her hand, briefly touched Li Shan's hand, and nodded slightly: "Hello."

Then, Gao Xiaoqin forced a polite smile and said, "Uncle Li Shan, please sit down."

Li Shan quickly responded with two "eh"s and awkwardly sat down.

After all, a woman as beautiful and elegant as Gao Xiaoqin is nothing short of a celestial being to Li Shan, who has spent his entire life toiling in the fields.

Especially now that this celestial being has said she wants to collaborate with Mang Village...

Li Shan was even more at a loss.

Soon, Gao Xiaoqin seemed unwilling to spend too much time with Li Shan.

He got straight to the point, saying, "Uncle Li Shan, let's discuss a business deal."

“I don’t care how many households there are in your Mang Village. The money will be distributed per person, and each person will receive this amount.”

As she spoke, Gao Xiaoqin held up one finger: "Ten thousand yuan."

The words fell.

Li Shan gasped in shock.

To know.

This is the year 2000.

Not long ago, having ten thousand yuan was just a legend!

Even now, for rural families, it is still a considerable sum, equivalent to several years' income.

But Gao Xiaoqin said she wanted to give them 10,000 yuan directly.

What kind of business is this, giving away money for free?

Li Shan's hands trembled slightly as he cautiously asked, "Manager Gao, what does Manager Gao mean...?"

A faint smile appeared on Gao Xiaoqin's lips.

"What I need you to do is very simple."

"No matter what methods you use, whether it's making a scene or reporting them, you must prevent Gao's Real Estate from carrying out the demolition."

"When our Shanshui Group takes over, we will naturally give Mang Village preferential treatment."

As Gao Xiaoqin finished speaking, Li Shan lowered his head and remained silent.

Soon, Gao Xiaoqin continued to tempt Li Shan with her words: "Uncle Li Shan, think about it, our Shanshui Group ranks among the top in the entire country. It's no exaggeration to say that it's famous. You must have heard of it at least a little, right?"

“It’s impossible for us to deduct anything from the demolition compensation, and you have done us a favor.”

"But Gao's Real Estate is a different story."

"They've only been established for less than a year, and they're already having cash flow problems. They'll definitely try to find ways to withhold your compensation for the demolition, not to mention the irreconcilable conflicts between you..."

……

After a while.
