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

Huang Yanjun nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "It's a good thing my Ziqi is a boy, otherwise I really wouldn't want to part with him later."

"I'm getting on in years now, and what I look forward to most is being able to hold my great-grandchild."

Meng Dehai, being a parent himself, could understand Huang Yanjun's feelings and said with a smile, "I'm also hoping to hold a grandson."

The two exchanged a few more jokes.

But soon.

Huang Yanjun then got back to the main topic: "Dehai, I heard that the highway project has not made much progress. Is Gao's Real Estate facing some difficulties?"

. ......... .......

The words fell.

Meng Dehai knew perfectly well what Huang Yanjun was asking.

Highways are a long-term, large-scale project that takes time to build, so Huang Yanjun's question was definitely not about that.

But demolition is a quick process.

To put it bluntly, if a bulldozer pushes, it can flatten a village in just a few days if it's fast enough.

Huang Yanjun asked...

Why has the demolition in Mang Village been delayed for so long?

Meng Dehai hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Well... I don't know the specifics either. How about this, I'll ask the person in charge of Gao's Real Estate when I have some time?"

Huang Yanjun nodded: "Okay, that would be perfect."

"You need to know one thing: many people are eyeing the highway project covetously. If Gao's Real Estate falls behind in its progress, someone is very likely to sabotage it."

"If they succeed, neither you nor I want to see that happen."

Meng Dehai nodded: "Yes, I know about this."

Huang Yanjun patted Meng Dehai's hand, then stood up and straightened his jacket.

"As long as you know."

"Ziqi is still at home. I can't let him live alone, so I'll go back first."

"The new mayor and vice governor haven't spoken to you yet. If they make any moves, you must be careful..."

Meng Dehai responded repeatedly and personally saw Huang Yanjun into the car.

After standing downstairs for a while, she slowly started walking upstairs...

Chapter 160 Gao Qisheng senses something is wrong, Ma Yun receives good news.

the other side.

In the Gao family.

Gao Qisheng sat at the dining table and swallowed the last bite of rice: "Brother, when will the demolition in Mang Village be completed? The leaders are urging us to do it."

Gao Qiqiang hadn't finished his soup yet, but upon hearing this, he put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly.

"Xiao Sheng, demolition is a big deal, it can't be handled in a short time."

"Well... there are still some procedures to go through, please wait a moment."

Gao Qisheng didn't speak, but his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, only glanced at Gao Qiqiang.

My older brother... is hiding something from me.

My older brother has never been comfortable lying to his family, and he always reacts this way unnaturally whenever something happens.

Thinking this, Gao Qisheng didn't say much, but just nodded: "Okay, big brother, I understand."

"Did you buy some new '197' fruit today? I'll take it to see Xiaoyue later."

Seeing that the topic had been changed so easily, Gao Qiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, there are oranges in the refrigerator that my friend sent over. They are homegrown and are very good. Go and take them to Xiaoyue."

……

Not long after.

Gao family.

Chen Shuting was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV when she heard a noise at the door and turned around: "Xiao Sheng?"

"Why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten yet?"

Gao Qisheng smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law Shuting."

“I’ve already eaten. I got some new fruit from home, so I’m bringing it to Xiaoyue.”

Chen Shuting said "Oh," and quickly stood up to take the fruit: "Thank you for your trouble."

Gao Qisheng casually asked, "By the way, Sister-in-law Shuting, is my brother here?"

Chen Shuting casually said, "He's in the study on the second floor. Go find him."

Gao Qisheng nodded and quickly went to the study on the second floor.

After pushing open the door and entering.

Gao Qilin was indeed holding a book, sitting at the table reading.

Gao Qisheng carefully closed the door, then said, "Second Brother."

Gao Qilin then looked up and said with a smile, "Xiao Sheng, I thought you were my sister-in-law."

"Why are you here at this hour? Is there something you need?"

Gao Qisheng nodded, then quickly pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Gao Qilin.

"Second brother, there might be some problem at home."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin put down his book and looked at Gao Qisheng: "What did my older brother say?"

Gao Qisheng gave a wry smile: "It's precisely because they didn't say anything that I felt there was a problem."

"Second brother, logically speaking, the Mang Village should have already been demolished, right? But so far, no construction has started."

"And I asked about it today, and my brother started talking about procedures and processes... Bro, do you think I wouldn't know these things?"

"The paperwork for Mangcun has been completed long ago; all that's left is for construction to begin..."

The words fell.

Gao Qilin narrowed his eyes, and said thoughtfully, "I understand."

"My brother must be... short of money."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin also looked puzzled: "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't we tell him to go to the bank to borrow a development loan? So much time has passed, he should have gotten the loan by now."

Gao Qisheng also looked puzzled: "I don't know about this. My older brother didn't mention it to me..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Gao Qisheng suddenly remembered something, and a tense look appeared on his face.

"Brother, do you think... someone at the bank might be trying to prevent our highway from being completed and is deliberately blocking us?"

As he spoke, Gao Qisheng's expression grew increasingly tense, and his speech quickened: "Yes, the highway is a huge project. Even with the best materials, it can generate billions in profit, and there are a lot of people watching it."

"Recently, several new leaders have come down from above. They are from the same hometown as Shanshui Group. Is it possible that they are preventing the bank from approving loans and trying to stop Gaojia from building the expressway? But if the bank approves the development loan, it can increase our monthly interest income by millions."

"But if someone has lined their own pockets with more direct bribes, it's also possible..."

All of a sudden.

Gao Qisheng seemed to be in a state of brainstorming, biting his nails, speaking rapidly, and his eyes constantly flashing.

Gao Qilin looked over thoughtfully.

It seems...

Even if he took a completely different path, his third brother's talent could not be forgotten.

Exceptional intelligence.

Thinking this, Gao Qilin tapped the table lightly with his book: "Xiao Sheng!"

Gao Qisheng shuddered violently, then looked up: "Second Brother..."

Gao Qilin stepped forward and patted Gao Qisheng on the head like a child: "Why think so much? Your task now is to work hard, achieve something as soon as possible to get promoted, and make your older brother feel better... and..."

"How old are you? Still biting your nails?"

Gao Qisheng then smiled and hid his hands behind his back: "Brother, I... I'm used to it."

"Besides, isn't my most important job right now to be in charge of the demolition of Mang Village?"

Gao Qilin nodded and said, "I understand what you're saying; there's some truth to it."

"It's very likely that someone deliberately moved the business to make it impossible for our Gao family to continue operating."

"By the way, do you know how much liquid capital your older brother has?"

Gao Qisheng pondered for a moment: "The working capital alone is tens of millions, less than fifty million?"

Gao Qilin nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go back now."
