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

He smiled and said, "Meng Yu, how about this, you don't tell me yet, let me guess?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yu felt full of confidence.

Gao Qilin could never have guessed that she was pregnant so easily!

Thinking this through, Meng Yu nodded: "Go ahead!"

Gao Qilin first feigned doubt and asked, "Let me think... Did you get promoted?"

Meng Yu shook her head decisively.

Gao Qilin then asked, "You got a raise?"

Meng Yu shook her head again: "What are you talking about? Is such a small thing worth setting up a whole table for?"

Chen Shuting also laughed and said, "That's right, Qilin, can you guess something more plausible?"

"Or let Meng Yu reveal the answer: 'two, four, three'."

As she spoke, Meng Yu's face showed a hint of impatience, her big eyes sparkling, as if she couldn't wait for the results to be announced.

But Gao Qilin slowly uttered an "oh" and then said, "I guessed it."

"Meng Yu, are you... pregnant?"

……

As Gao Qilin finished speaking.

All of a sudden.

The three women looked at each other in bewilderment!

"You said that?!"

"Is this what you said?"

in unison!

Gao Qilin, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh: "Alright! What do you mean who said that? I guessed it yesterday when you guys were whispering about it."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin reached out to Meng Yu: "Come here, the mother of our third child, give me a hug."

Meng Yu rejected Gao Qilin's hug with a displeased look: "No way!"

"How could you have guessed it so early? You weren't surprised at all."

Gao Qilin smiled helplessly and squeezed Meng Yu's hand: "How can you not be surprised? I went to bed very late last night, look at my dark circles."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin pointed to his eyes.

There was indeed a faint hint of blue.

Chen Shuting, who was standing to the side, finally came to her senses and chuckled softly, "I knew it, I didn't sleep well last night either, I just felt you tossing and turning next to me..."

"Still can't calm down after becoming a father for the third time?"

Gao Qilin laughed and said, "How can you stay calm about adding a new member to the family?"

After saying that, Gao Qilin turned to Meng Yu and said, "It's okay. You can still give my child's uncle and aunt a surprise later... Uncle Meng and Aunt Cui don't know about this yet."

Meng Yu was finally somewhat satisfied, pouting as she sat down next to Gao Qilin: "Alright! Let's eat."

"You noticed that? Humph..."

As Meng Yu took her seat.

Gao Yue, who was engrossed in making pumpkin pancakes, also looked up and slowly blinked.

"Aunt Xiaoyu, what do you mean by that?"

"Auntie Xiaoyu, do you have a baby in your tummy too?"

Meng Yu smiled and nodded.

Gao Yue let out a small gasp...

……

a few days later.

In the top-tier room of the Shanshui Manor in Handong Province.

Zhao Ruilong sat on the sofa in the suite's living room, a cigar in his hand, and asked his subordinate Xiao Chen, "How's the matter in Jinghai City going?"

Xiao Chen quickly said, "Young Master Zhao, the land now belongs to the Shanshui Group."

"However... as you know, there is only one plot of land, 062. Plot 061 has already been acquired by someone else."

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Zhao Ruilong frowned, a look of displeasure flashing across his face.

"Okay, I understand."

"However, has it been determined who owns plot 061?"

Xiao Chen quickly shook his head: "Not yet."

Zhao Ruilong immediately revealed a thoughtful expression.

after all.

The most likely person to acquire plot 061 is Gao Qilin.

But why didn't Gao Qilin choose to acquire 062, which is adjacent to 063, but instead crossed a piece of land?

Most importantly, Gao's Real Estate has been established for less than a year and its foundation is still shallow. How could Gao Qilin have spare money to buy the 061 plot while building the highway?

For a moment, Zhao Ruilong also fell into deep thought.

However, Zhao Ruilong quickly came to his senses, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Never mind."

"In that case, use the original budget allocation for acquiring the land to develop plot 062!"

Xiao Chen nodded quickly.

Zhao Ruilong took a deep drag on his cigar.

Since they can't get the highway contract for the time being.

So it wouldn't be a bad idea to cause Gao Qilin some trouble.

such as……

Large-scale development is underway on the land where a highway is to be built.

When it comes time for demolition, whether it's from the municipal government or Gao Qilin, they can squeeze a hefty sum of money out of them...

Thinking this, Zhao Ruilong's gaze grew increasingly gloomy.

……

the other side.

In a hotel in Jinghai City.

Gao Xiaoqin sat on the sofa in the suite, constantly sending text messages on her phone.

soon.

A phone call came in.

Gao Xiaoqin asked calmly, "Old Zhao, how's the manpower recruitment going?"

Old Zhao is a contractor in Handong Province.

We have collaborated with Shanshui Group several times before.

Gao Xiaoqin was unfamiliar with Jinghai City and couldn't get any contractors to help her, so she simply looked for people from Handong Province.

And this moment.

Old Zhao's voice, tinged with sycophancy, quickly said, "Manager Gao, all the manpower has now been assigned to Jinghai."

"When to start work is up to your command."

Gao Xiaoqin gave a faint "hmm".

He then said, "I'll send you the development and construction plan in the next couple of days."

"You will be responsible for the demolition first, and then we can start talking about construction."

Old Zhao was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Gao Xiaoqin then hung up the phone and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at Jinghai City.

My own plan... is about to begin.

Once you start, there's no turning back.

after all.

Starting construction on a site slated for highway development is tantamount to going against the municipal government of Jinghai City.

It's not just about being enemies with Gao's Real Estate.

But in order to achieve the goal...

I had no choice but to do it.
