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

As a result, Gao Qiqiang doted on his little niece as if she were his most precious treasure.

Gao Yue has been on vacation these past few days and has practically become the little ancestor of the Gao family.

At this moment.

As Gao Qilin pushed open the door and entered, Gao Yue put down her toys and ran towards him, calling out, "Daddy!"

"Dad, what delicious food did you buy today?"

Gao Qilin smiled and pinched Gao Yue's nose.

"We've already bought all the New Year's goods. If you want to buy snacks, how about your uncle takes you to the supermarket?"

Gao Yue nodded with a grin, then snuggled into Gao Qilin's arms.

And this moment.

The door to the study on the second floor opened, and Gao Qiqiang, dressed in a casual sweater, stood on the landing of the second-floor corridor and waved to Gao Qilin: "Qilin, come up here for a moment, your older brother has something to say to you."

Gao Yue blinked in Gao Qilin's arms, then jumped down on her own: "Daddy, Uncle wants to talk to you, you go upstairs quickly, Uncle Sheng and I are downstairs!"

After saying that, Gao Qilin chuckled and kissed Gao Yue's forehead: "Okay, you have to listen to Uncle Sheng."

Done.

Gao Qisheng waved to Gao Yue: "Xiao Yue, come see what your uncle made for you?"

"Mechanical puppy!"

Gao Yue exclaimed excitedly and ran towards Gao Qisheng.

In his hand was a small dog made of mechanical parts.

Seeing this, Gao Qilin smiled and walked towards the second floor: "Brother, I remember when Xiao Sheng was in elementary school, he seemed to have won... first prize in the city's handicraft competition?"

Gao Qiqiang slapped his forehead: "Right, right, I remember too! Xiao Sheng, isn't that right?"

Gao Qisheng smiled and said, "No way, big brother and second brother, you've both got it wrong. It was clearly the first prize in the province."

The words fell.

Gao Qilin gave Gao Qisheng a thumbs up and quickly headed towards the study on the second floor.

……

soon.

In the study.

As Gao Qilin entered, Gao Qiqiang quickly closed the door.

A smile immediately appeared on Gao Qilin's face: "What's wrong, bro? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Is there something you have to tell me in secret?"

Gao Qiqiang patted Gao Qilin on the shoulder: "You."

"You seem to have no worries at all, even though you're the one with the most worries in our family."

Gao Qilin smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

If we follow Gao Qiqiang's logic, there's actually no problem.

After all, he was the one who handled the most things in the Gao family.

but……

to be frank.

These are not things that need to be worried about.

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it.

So soon, Gao Qilin simply shrugged indifferently and sat down directly on Gao Qiqiang's desk.

He casually picked up a half-open copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War and flipped through it: "Brother, you've been reading this book lately?"

Gao Qiqiang hummed in agreement: "What you said to me last time, 'When besieging an army, leave an opening; when pursuing a desperate enemy, do not pursue them...' I think it makes a lot of sense, so I took it down to take a look, and it's indeed quite good."

Chapter 199 The Gao Brothers Discuss in the Study

Gao Qilin smiled upon hearing this: "Indeed, brother, I remember you used to read Youth Digest all the time..."

Gao Qiqiang rubbed his nose: "Don't even mention Youth Digest, Officer An even laughed at me for it before."

"By the way, Qilin, I've read this book three or four times already. Do you have any good books you could recommend to your older brother?"

Gao Qilin nodded and turned around to pick out a few books from the bookshelf behind him.

Among them are works like *The Prince* and *The Book of Master Guigu*, just a few books, yet they encompass everything from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.

Gao Qiqiang took the books and placed them on the table, nodding thoughtfully.

Subsequently.

Gao Qiqiang suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear!" and slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot!"

"You came in and started talking about reading, I even forgot what I wanted to say to you..."

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang quickly turned on his computer.

“Recently, the construction at the Shanshui Group site has not stopped.”

"My sister-in-law told me that many workers from the construction group have gone there to work. The construction speed of the entire Shanshui Group is very fast, and it is expected that a batch of projects will be completed after the New Year."

While talking.

Gao Qiqiang opened several pictures on his computer, which clearly showed the recent construction progress of plot 062 in Qinghua District.

Although it hasn't been long, the project is already nearly halfway complete.

Gao Qilin leaned over for a look, then said, "It's being built quite quickly."

Gao Qiqiang snorted coldly: "Building it so fast, the quality is probably not guaranteed at all. It's hard to say whether the walls inside are even completely dry."

"This Gao Xiaoqin... she's really gone mad for money. Once these places are put into use, something bad is bound to happen."

As Gao Qiqiang finished speaking.

Gao Qilin's face showed a hint of indifference as he leaned back and said, "Big brother, you don't really think Gao Xiaoqin's business in Jinghai City will open for business, do you?"

Gao Qiqiang raised his eyebrows, adopting an attitude of listening attentively.

Gao Qilin said calmly, "Don't even think about it. Gao Xiaoqin's construction project is not for developing an industrial chain in Jinghai City at all."

"Brother, think about it, would Gao Xiaoqin not know that plot 062 in Qinghua District is a planned area for the future expressway?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin narrowed his eyes, quickly stood up from his chair, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"So that's how it is... Gao Xiaoqin wants to take a piece of our Gao family by occupying land."

Gao Qilin nodded: "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqiang took a deep breath, downed the tea in his cup, and then asked, "Qilin, what do we do now?"

"Should we bring the workers back?"

Gao Qilin smiled indifferently: "It's already been built up like this, why call it back? It's their own business, we're not unreasonable bastards like Li Youtian who won't allow them to make money."

"With the quality of construction at Shanshui Group in this state, it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong. We just need to watch."

Gao Qiqiang raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Just watching?"

Gao Qilin smiled faintly, his face once again showing an ambiguous expression.

……

soon.

Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qilin came out of the study. Gao Qiqiang quickly tied on an apron and went into the kitchen.

At the same time, he said with a smile, "Qilin, this year during the Spring Festival, your big brother will show you all his skills and try to make sure you all gain a little weight by the end of the holiday!"

Gao Qilin smiled and leaned against the refrigerator: "That's the best. My cooking skills... can't be compared to any restaurant outside."

After saying that, Gao Qilin nodded his chin in the direction of the outside: "I'll go and bring Xiaoyue to call Mengyu and the others over."

Gao Qiqiang hummed in agreement.

Gao Qilin quickly carried Gao Yue back to his own home next door.

The villa on the first floor was warm and cozy from the heating. The three women squeezed together on the same sofa, chatting and laughing while eating fruit.

Gao Qilin cleared his throat: "President Chen, President Cheng, and Reporter Meng?"

The three women turned around in unison.

Gao Qilin slowly revealed a smile: "Let's go, Big Brother is already cooking. Go sit next door."

Meng Yu was the first to lift the blanket and get off, even yawning: "Let's go, I'm getting sleepy sitting here... By the way, Qilin, Xiaolan said she had a classmate reunion at noon, should she be back by now?"

·· 0 flowers requested ········

Gao Qilin glanced at his watch: "That's about it. I'll make a call to urge her. You guys go ahead first."

……

the other side.
