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

They're not high-ranking executives at Gao's Real Estate, so what's there to care about?

Thinking this, Gao Xiaoqin said unhappily, "Old Zhao, is it really necessary for you to care about this?"

"It doesn't matter who the workers work for, it has nothing to do with Gao's Real Estate. Besides..."

As she spoke, Gao Xiaoqin snorted coldly, "This is a good opportunity to show the Gao family that they don't have the right to call the shots in Jinghai City."

"Whether it's workers or land, whoever can pay, we'll go with them!"

"Poaching the Gao family's workers would be a way of putting them in a difficult position."

As she spoke, Gao Xiaoqin patted Lao Zhao on the shoulder meaningfully: "Lao Zhao, we are determined to win the expressway project in Jinghai City."

"If you can poach two managers, wouldn't that be a huge slap in the face for Gao Qilin 243?"

……

at the same time.

Besides Gao Xiaoqin's repeated instructions to Lao Zhao...

the other side.

After her lunch break, Chen Shuting convened an emergency meeting within the construction group.

He gathered all the foremen still in Jinghai and gave them some instructions.

The meeting likely authorized the foremen of the construction group to participate in the construction of the Shanshui Group's projects.

However, the meeting also included a three-point agreement with the foremen.

Anyone who takes this opportunity to switch jobs to Shanshui Group will become an enemy of Jian Gong and the Gao family from now on.

Moreover, Shanshui Group's actions this time are solely for expansion, prioritizing speed over quality, which poses a significant risk to building safety.

Everyone is only allowed to take on tasks and do them; they are not allowed to interfere in other matters.

Besides, these foremen couldn't possibly have access to any company secrets, so Chen Shuting didn't have much to say to them.

The meeting ended quickly.

After the meeting ended.

The foremen's faces all revealed a knowing, unspoken joy!

Construction sites are hard to find during the Chinese New Year period, and given Jinghai's growth momentum this year, everyone wants to make another fortune.

But now.

Although there was indeed a construction site in Jinghai City, it was the old employer's rival, and no one dared to be the first to take the lead.

But now...

President Chen personally instructed them to start taking on jobs from the Shanshui Group.

Is there any reason not to make money when it's available?

the other side.

At the airport in Jinghai City.

Xu Zhong stood outside the airport and said to Zhong Xiaoai, "Director Zhong, shall I escort you straight in?"

Zhong Xiaoai nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."

As Zhong Xiaoai finished speaking, Xu Zhong repeatedly said it was no trouble, and then led Zhong Xiaoai into the airport.

On the road.

Xu Zhong took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Director Zhong, after the Spring Festival next year... will you still be going back to Jinghai?"

As he asked the questions, Xu Zhong felt a little nervous.

after all.

Jinghai City is not a good place; compared to Handong Province, its development prospects are much smaller.

Director Zhong came directly from the capital.

It's possible that they might not want to come back next year because they don't like this place.

But what if Zhong Xiaoai doesn't come back...?

The newly appointed municipal bureau chief, the mayor and vice governor whose origins are unclear...

This left Xu Zhong somewhat at a loss.

But at this moment, Zhong Xiaoai only showed a faint smile: "Of course I will come back."

"After I return to the capital, I will report on this year's work, then spend the Spring Festival at home before coming back."

"After all... the project on the highway isn't finished yet, and the people who should be arrested haven't been arrested."

"How could I just say I won't come back and then suddenly disappear?"

As Zhong Xiaoai finished speaking, Xu Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I understand, Director Zhong."

……

the other side.

In the Gao family.

Chen Shuting looked somewhat tired as she pushed open the door and sat down on the sofa.

Meng Yu walked over with a cup of hot water: "Sister Shuting, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?"

Chen Shuting smiled, took the hot water Meng Yu brought back, and said with a smile, "You're so thoughtful."

"Where's Xiaoyue? Is she back?"

Meng Yu hummed in agreement: "Qilin answered it, and now she's playing with Qilin in the study."

Chen Shuting breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of hot water, and then looked up at Meng Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, Qi Lin and I are about to start resting now. Where are you at the company?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yu sighed and plopped down next to Chen Shuting: "Ah, Sister Shuting, I'm so envious of you guys."

"I think I'll have to work overtime this Chinese New Year. It's only my first year working here, and I haven't been a permanent employee for long."

"And I need to take maternity leave at the end of the year, so I won't be able to take much annual leave this year."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuting patted Meng Yu's head and said, "You can just quit your job. The Gao family can afford to support you anyway."

Meng Yu quickly shook her head: "No."

"I still prefer being a journalist. It's just working overtime during the Chinese New Year, it's nothing."

"I don't expect there will be any major news during the Chinese New Year period."

Chen Shuting nodded.

……

the other side.

In a hotel in Jinghai City.

At that moment, Gao Xiaoqin was holding a phone, and the person on the other end of the line was Zhao Ruilong.

Gao Xiaoqin smiled sweetly on the other end of the phone and said, "Young Master Zhao, I also want to go back for the New Year, but I really can't leave Jinghai City."

“We’re expanding the construction of plot 062 in Qinghua District, right? I have to stay in Jinghai to urge the progress, so I can’t just leave.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong on the other end of the phone showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

after all.

He had been lusting after Gao Xiaoqin for a long time.

I was hoping to take advantage of this Chinese New Year...

As a result, Gao Xiaoqin was busy with official business and could not come back.

The thought of this made Zhao Ruilong feel a little annoyed.

However, Gao Xiaoqin's sweet and charming voice on the other end of the phone dispelled Zhao Ruilong's displeasure. He said regretfully, "Xiaoqin, we were planning to go skiing this winter."

"Since you're busy, then forget it. Once we secure the project in Jinghai City, I'll give you a proper vacation, and we can go out and have some fun, how about that?"

A hint of disdain arose in Gao Xiaoqin's heart.

What about my own vacation?

It was probably a reward from Zhao Ruilong.

He clearly just wanted me to go on vacation with him, but he made it sound so nice...

But at this moment.

Gao Xiaoqin did not expose Zhao Ruilong's thoughts, and continued to chat with him with a charming smile.

After a while.

Zhao Ruilong reluctantly hung up the phone.
