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

I'll have to be very careful when dealing with him in the future.

Of course, it would be best to become friends with someone like that.

After all, who would want to become an enemy of a powerful person unless absolutely necessary?

This is like shooting yourself in the foot!

After this incident, Gao Xiaoqin's opinion of Gao Qiqiang completely changed.

In Gao Xiaoqin's view, if she continued to adopt a hostile attitude towards Gao Qilin, it would be a bad situation.

I'm afraid the entire Shanshui Group is doomed!

"Hmph! Enemy? Do you think any of you, with your abilities, could deal with Gao Qilin if we really fell out with him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances, then shook their heads without saying a word.

Yes, Gao Xiaoqin's think tank does have some self-awareness.

They knew they were no match for Gao Qilin if Shanshui Group and Qiangsheng Group really fell out.

Even if they go all out, they might not be able to defeat Gao Qilin. The best outcome might be a lose-lose situation!

Thinking of this, the group of strategists from the Shanshui Group present stopped talking.

At this moment, they simply lowered their heads and waited for Gao Xiaoqin to reprimand them.

Seeing that none of her subordinates had spoken, Gao Xiaoqin knew that her strategists were now truly convinced.

After witnessing Gao Qilin's abilities, they probably realized that they were no match for him.

If they still don't accept this, then they're in for a world of trouble!

"Good! Since you know how to accept it, it means there's still hope for you."

"By the way, I've raised you all for so many years, now I want to know how much value you can still provide for me?"

"I want to know, can you predict Gao Qilin's next move?"

As soon as Gao Xiaoqin said this, her advisors all frowned.

In their view, Gao Qilin has now settled the matter of Dafeng Garment Factory.

Logically speaking, he should be resting and recuperating now.

After all, Qiangsheng Group had very little money left.

If Qiangsheng Group cannot quickly secure some projects to generate revenue, it may be difficult for it to establish itself in Jinghai City.

"Mr. Gao, we think Gao Qilin's next plan is to find a way to make money. Perhaps he will use our Shanshui Group's name to make money!"

"I agree with Secretary Li's assessment, because Qiangsheng Group's cash flow has run into problems!"

"Yes, I think the next step for Qiangsheng Group is to use our Shanshui Group's name to attract investment!"

Seeing her subordinates so confident, Gao Xiaoqin remained unconvinced.

She understood that Gao Qiqiang was no simple man (okay, Zhao). He wasn't just someone who knew how to exploit others.

Then he wouldn't have been able to build Qiangsheng Group into such a large company!

It seems Gao Qilin must have other plans, but he's hiding them too well.

He did not reveal his plans to the outside world; however, given Gao Qilin's personality, this was a matter of course.

Once he makes a move, it will definitely be a sensation.

However, by then, it certainly won't be so easy for me to stop him.

Realizing this, Gao Xiaoqin immediately dialed Qi Tongwei's number.

She knew her lover had been paying attention to this matter, and perhaps he could provide her with some information.

Chapter 232 What's the rush?

"Mayor, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Do you have a moment to spare now?"

On the phone, Gao Xiaoqin's gentle voice was no longer that of a cold, strong woman.

Her voice became very gentle, like a warm current that could melt the heart of anyone in the world.

Gao Xiaoqin only speaks to others in this tone when she needs something in return.

At this moment, Gao Xiaoqin was asking Qi Tongwei, who is now the mayor of Jinghai City.

He served as mayor for only a few years, but he developed a deep friendship with Gao Xiaoqin.

The two met when Gao Xiaoqin was just the deputy general manager of Shanshui Group.

Initially, the two only met because of some public matters, but they gradually became familiar with each other.

Furthermore, some relationships that went beyond friendship also developed.

That's why Gao Xiaoqin spoke to Qi Tongwei in such a gentle voice as 307 when they were on the phone.

When Qi Tongwei on the other end of the phone heard that it was Gao Xiaoqin calling him, he was overjoyed!

At this moment, Qi Tongwei laughed heartily.

"Oh dear, Mr. Gao is usually so busy, what brings you to call me today?"

"Do you think that I, a lowly official, can be of any help to you?"

"You still feel like you miss me because we haven't seen each other for a while?"

Qi Tongwei, who was on the other end of the phone, spoke in an irreverent tone. Gao Xiaoqin and Qi Tongwei were old acquaintances.

Gao Xiaoqin had seen Qi Tongwei without clothes on.

On the phone, she naturally didn't stand on ceremony with Qi Tongwei.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei was joking with her, Gao Xiaoqin said to him in an angry tone.

"Oh, Mayor Qi, how could I forget you!"

"You've helped me so much, I'm so grateful to you!"

"However, I've run into a little trouble lately, and my incompetent subordinates aren't doing their job properly, so I have no choice but to come to you for advice!"

"Mayor Qi, I think you wouldn't just abandon me out of consideration for our old friendship!"

Qi Tongwei chuckled upon hearing this, realizing that Gao Xiaoqin's call at this time likely had only one reason.

That's about Gao Qilin. Yesterday, when Gao Xiaoqin led a group to Qiangsheng Group to negotiate...

Qi Tongwei received the message, but he didn't call Gao Xiaoqin to ask her why she did it.

He was merely observing from the shadows; Qi Tongwei knew this at the very beginning.

Many relationships are still undefined, so even if he asks, he won't get any clear answers.

It would be better to lie low like a crocodile and wait until things develop to a certain point.

If Gao Xiaoqin can't handle it, she will naturally call me.

Why should I be in such a hurry? Besides, Qi Tongwei was just an ordinary police officer in Jinghai City back then.

He has worked hard and calculated his way up to where he is today. If he loses his composure over such a small matter, then he probably won't be able to hold onto his position as mayor securely!

As expected, Gao Xiaoqin finally called.

Qi Tongwei was very happy to see that Gao Xiaoqin had taken the initiative to call him.

Moreover, after Gao Xiaoqin said a few words, Qi Tongwei figured out exactly what she was afraid of!

"My dear Gao, I know Gao Qilin is a talented person. Are you afraid he'll set a trap for you?"

"However, I think you don't need to be afraid at all, because, judging from the current situation..."

"His relationship with Zhong Xiaoai is still unstable. I think he just wants to cooperate with you!"

"This person is a real talent! Xiaoqin, aren't you someone who loves talent the most? You should take him on!"

Gao Xiaoqin was confused by Qi Tongwei. In her opinion, someone like Gao Qilin was absolutely impossible to subdue!

The reason is very simple: Gao Qilin is definitely not the kind of guy who would live under someone else's roof.

He has his own dreams and his own aspirations!

You can only cooperate with such a person if you want to subdue him.

One day, he will escape from your grasp. At that time, he will not only not be grateful to you, but will bite you hard instead!

Gao Xiaoqin wasn't stupid; she knew that very well.

But Gao Xiaoqin also understood that Qi Tongwei was smarter than she was.

Otherwise, Qi Tongwei wouldn't have been able to take the mayor's position.

Therefore, although Gao Xiaoqin was puzzled, she did not interrupt Qi Tongwei.

Instead, she pricked up her ears, wanting to know what clever tricks Qi Tongwei had come up with.

Seeing that Gao Xiaoqin did not interrupt him, Qi Tongwei smiled and said to Gao Xiaoqin on the other end of the phone.

"Xiaoqin, I heard that Qiangsheng Group seems to be having problems with its cash flow."

"Well, your Shanshui Group isn't short of money, so why don't you help Gao Qilin think of a solution?"
