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

Meng Dehai's house is not big enough to accommodate so many people.

Soon, Meng Dehai and Aunt Cui personally escorted Gao Qilin and the other two away from their home.

Aunt Cui was filled with emotion. Holding Meng Yu's hand, her eyes reddened, she said, "In all these years, this is the first time you haven't spent the New Year at home."

"Remember to come back in the second year of junior high, okay?"

Meng Yu nodded.

It is a custom for married daughters to return to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Meng Yu would never forget!

Soon after, Meng Dehai stopped the reluctant mother and daughter from parting, saying, "Alright, Cui."

"Let Meng Yu go back quickly. It's already so late. Shu Ting still has to take care of the child."

Aunt Cui reluctantly let go of Meng Yu's hand, then turned to Chen Shuting and said, "Shuting, you promised Aunt Cui that you would bring Gao Yue with you when you return to your parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year..."

Chen Shuting smiled and nodded repeatedly.

……

soon.

Two weeks later.

The Gao family's annual leave is about to end.

after all.

With a behemoth like Gaoshi Real Estate under its umbrella, those who took a break before the Lunar New Year naturally resumed work earlier afterward.

Gao Qiqiang even wanted to take charge personally.

Gao Qisheng's work progress closely followed the demolition work of Gao's Real Estate, so he quickly returned to the Housing Management Bureau to start working.

All of a sudden.

The Gao family, which had been bustling with activity throughout the Spring Festival, quickly returned to a state of quiet.

Only Gao Qilan and Chengcheng were able to stay at home every day.

And also at this time.

Besides Gao's Real Estate.

The others also gradually returned to Jinghai City.

……

the other side.

In the office of Xu Zhong, the inspector from the Jinghai Inspection Team, Jinghai City.

Although it's clear to everyone that Zhong Xiaoai's tenure in Jinghai City will definitely not be short.

But in fact.

Zhong Xiaoai will not relinquish her title as a member of the Capital Investigation Team, nor will she transfer her position to Jinghai.

and so.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai is still sharing an office with Xu Zhong.

At that moment, Zhong Xiaoai sat in her office chair and lazily yawned.

"Xu Zhong, happy new year on your first day back at work."

"By the way, is there anything I should be aware of in Jinghai during the Chinese New Year period?"

Chapter 204 Meeting with Zhong Xiaoai

As soon as Zhong Xiaoai finished speaking, Xu Zhong quickly smiled and said, "Team Leader Zhong, Happy New Year."

"As for the matter in Jinghai... there is indeed one thing that started before the New Year."

"However, since you went home early for the New Year, I plan to report this matter to you after the New Year."

While talking.

Xu Zhong quickly produced a report and said, "Team Leader Zhong, Shanshui Group has acquired plot 062 in Qinghua District."

As Xu Zhong finished speaking.

A look of shock flashed across Zhong Xiaoai's face as she stared at Xu Zhong in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"Shanshui Group bought land in Qinghua District? Why are you only telling me now?!"

As she spoke, Zhong Xiaoai's brows were tightly furrowed.

after all.

All three plots of land in Qinghua District will be used for the construction of expressways.

And 062 is naturally one of them.

The Shanshui Group had always been eager to participate in the highway project; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were eyeing it covetously.

The fact that Shanshui Group is buying the land at this moment is a clear indication of Zhong Xiaoai's ambition!

And also at this time.

A puzzled look appeared on Xu Zhong's face.

after all.

Although the news that Shanshui Group purchased the land in Qinghua District is shocking enough.

But in fact.

For Zhong Xiaoai and the entire investigation team, the purchase of the land by Shanshui Group was actually none of their business.

Why did Zhong Xiaoai react so strongly?

Xu Zhong was subconsciously taken aback, but he still chose to lower his head, keep his eyes down, and remain silent.

Zhong Xiaoai took a deep breath, then looked at Xu Zhong and said, "Xu Zhong, don't you understand what this means?"

Xu Zhong lowered his head and said cautiously, "Please enlighten me, Director Zhong..."

Zhong Xiaoai sighed deeply before slowly speaking.

"Xu Zhong, the fact that Shanshui Group has purchased plot 062 in Qinghua District proves that Shanshui Group is now fully capable of preventing Gao's Real Estate from building the expressway."

"Whether it's refusing to relocate, or doing something else..."

"In short, as long as Shanshui Group gets this plot of land, it means that Gao's Real Estate's highway construction will definitely not go smoothly."

"But now, the expressway project is the top priority for the entire Jinghai area."

"Who do you think would allow the Shanshui Group to buy the land? District Chief Meng Dehai? Would he?"

As Zhong Xiaoai finished speaking, Xu Zhong immediately realized the seriousness of the matter!

His face turned pale, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared.

He slowly spoke to Zhong Xiaoai across from him, saying, "I...I understand."

"Director Zhong, do you mean that someone within our organization is colluding with the Shanshui Group to obstruct the construction of the expressway..."

Zhong Xiaoai nodded: "That's right."

“I wonder if that person accepted a bribe from the Shanshui Group… Xu Zhong, you should understand.”

"The person who can trade this plot of land must wield considerable power and would not easily relinquish it."

"It must be the Shanshui Group. Gao Xiaoqin promised them some kind of profit."

Xu Zhong's expression gradually became serious.

"Director, I understand what you mean."

Xu Zhong quickly spoke up: "Should this matter... be investigated immediately?"

Zhong Xiaoai nodded: "That's right."

"But don't make too much of a commotion. Keep the investigation low-key. I'll also use my connections to... gather some information."

……

soon.

In Gao Qilin's study.

Gao Qilin was writing furiously on a planning proposal for Gao's Real Estate.

And right now.

The phone rang, and a familiar contact name came into view.

It was Zhong Xiaoai.

A smile immediately appeared on Gao Qilin's face, and he quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Xiao Ai."

"Is he calling me at this time because our team leader Zhong has returned to Jinghai? Should we have a welcome-back dinner?"
