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

Seeing that Gao Qilin was very confident in helping the people escape poverty, Zhong Xiaoai asked him to give her a gift.

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai had spoken, Gao Qilin knew he couldn't refuse either!

Chapter 245 Poverty Alleviation

"Qilin, I want you to create a miracle for Jinghai City. If you can do it in a year..."

"If you can transform the poorest village in Jinghai City into a wealthy village, then I will agree with your vision!"

"If you can accomplish this, I... I'll even marry you!"

For a girl like Zhong Xiaoai, love is not something to be taken lightly.

She was spoiled by her parents when she was a child, unless it was a man she really liked.

Otherwise, other men might try to win Zhong Xiaoai's heart by using methods that would make her accept their love.

That's simply impossible. In Zhong Xiaoai's view, those men who keep saying "I love you" or "I love you" are just...

They are utterly insulting the word "love," precisely because of the existence of these guys.

That's why love has become so cheap, and that's why those 320 girls believe what these boys say.

Perhaps it's simply because their family circumstances didn't allow them to receive more love from their parents.

For Zhong Xiaoai, only men with talent and ambition are worthy of her love!

Gao Qilin wasn't stupid; he knew that Zhong Xiaoai would never say the word "love" to anyone.

Once she says it, it means she really likes him, and that's the current relationship between Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin.

They just held hands and strolled around town; their relationship hadn't progressed any further.

However, Gao Qilin felt that although the two did not have any deeper physical contact, he felt that he and Zhong Xiaoai had already formed a deep bond.

This kind of bond is an ideal. Zhong Xiaoai's ideal is to ensure that no one in the world has to live a hard life.

However, although Zhong Xiaoai has resources and background, she lacks practical skills and experience.

Gao Qilin has no shortage of practical skills and experience, but he lacks resources and background.

When the two come together because of the same ideals, Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin's resources can complement each other perfectly.

However, Gao Qilin was not the kind of guy who would do things on a whim.

He knew that accomplishing this would be no easy task, and since he had promised, he had to keep his word.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't leave a good impression on Zhong Xiaoai!

Besides, the Qiangsheng Group's cash flow had already dried up.

But why didn't the creditors come to our door to demand payment? Are they all incredibly kind people?

Gao Qilin hadn't gone that far in killing people; he naturally knew that there were no truly virtuous people in this world.

He understood that these creditors were only acting out of fear of his relationship with Zhong Xiaoai.

This was considered giving Zhong Xiaoai some face, which is why things didn't escalate to an irreparable point.

If it were anyone else, the gates of Qiangsheng Group would probably be surrounded by creditors every day.

Thinking about all this, a hint of confusion appeared in Gao Qilin's eyes.

This slight confusion passed quickly, and he didn't see Xiao Ai when he looked for her.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai just looked at Gao Qilin with anticipation, hoping that he could give her an answer!

Gao Qilin wasn't stupid; he knew that some promises, once made, would be broken.

They must act immediately, but there are three major obstacles currently facing the Qiangsheng Group.

This is the Shanshui Group, Gao Qilin knows.

Although he had just helped Shanshui Group resolve the issue of laid-off workers from Dafeng Garment Factory.

But the Shanshui Group didn't send anyone to thank him; perhaps the group is plotting something behind his back.

The second major obstacle is the creditors, but he has just negotiated projects with several large groups along the coast and secured nearly 20 billion yuan in financing.

This money should be enough to pay off the project, assuming no major problems arise in the next few years.

Therefore, Qiangsheng Group can transition smoothly.

What made Gao Qilin most uneasy was the third mountain, which was Zhong Xiaoai.

Gao Qilin understood why Qiangsheng Group was still able to live peacefully and safely to this day.

It was due to the efforts of myself and others, but also to a large extent the help of Zhong Xiaoai.

Zhong Xiaoai's family has a powerful political background, and that's one aspect of their relationship.

Even if Zhong Xiaoai does nothing, she can provide Gao Qilin with tremendous support simply by standing by his side.

Gao Qilin understood this very clearly. He knew that he could offend the Shanshui Group, and even his creditors.

However, Zhong Xiaoai herself absolutely could not offend anyone, even though it was an incredible thing to lift a poor village out of poverty within a year.

But Gao Qilin knew that things had already come to this point.

He was now in a bind and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. He couldn't let Zhong Xiaoai down, no matter how hard he tried!

At this moment, Gao Qilin looked at Zhong Xiaoai's expectant eyes and nodded vigorously.

"Okay! Xiao Ai, I promise you, I can definitely do it."

"A year from now, or perhaps not even a year, I will give you a prosperous village!"

Chapter 246 Persuasion

"Qilin, I've found myself liking you more and more!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai reached out and hugged Gao Qilin tightly.

Zhong Xiaoai, who was just crying in front of Gao Qilin, had completely changed into a different person.

The previous pain and gloom have long been swept away, and now Zhong Xiaoai is like a child who has received a birthday present.

She laughed joyfully in Gao Qilin's arms without any restraint.

But Gao Qilin knew that simply fooling Zhong Xiaoai wouldn't turn her dream into reality.

It's important to understand that helping someone escape poverty and become wealthy is actually an extremely difficult task.

It is even more difficult to lift a group of people out of poverty and into wealth without absolute certainty.

Gao Qilin would never do such a thing. Originally, when he was saying these things to Zhong Xiaoai...

Gao Qilin was just showing off in front of Zhong Xiaoai, thinking that Zhong Xiaoai was, after all, a graduate student.

She's studied for so many years and attended university for so many years; her mind should be able to hold a lot of knowledge.

She certainly wouldn't have believed what she said so easily, but who knew that Zhong Xiaoai was really that way.

Because Gao Qilin used to unite everyone in the group by making grand promises.

However, Gao Qilin is different from other people who make empty promises.

When others talk about "big cakes," they're really just giving their subordinates a big promise to fool others.

When a subordinate has worked hard to complete their work and wants to go to their boss to fulfill their promise, it's like...

The boss would spread his hands and pretend to have amnesia, saying, "Oh dear! When did I say those things?"

Can you help me remember? Why can't I remember at all?

At this point, if the subordinate still wants to keep their job...

In that case, he would have no choice but to suffer in silence!

But Gao Qilin is different; besides bragging, he only asks for things he has promised others.

He will fulfill his promise no matter what method he uses!

However, perhaps Gao Qilin had made too many empty promises.

He had somehow developed the ability to turn lies into truth, but Zhong Xiaoai rarely had anyone around her who made empty promises.

The people around Zhong Xiaoai were either businessmen or high-ranking officials.

They were all afraid of Zhong Xiaoai's parents, and these people would do anything they agreed to for Zhong Xiaoai.

Then they will definitely succeed.

Zhong Xiaoai felt that Gao Qilin was the CEO of Qiangsheng Group, and that he could solve the problems of Dafeng Garment Factory so easily.

He must have a way to solve the problem of the poorest village in Jinghai City.

Sometimes, when others believe in your abilities, it's even if you don't actually have those abilities.

You too will become someone with this kind of power. In the past, Gao Qilin thought that people who could easily fulfill other people's wishes were very strong.

But now he thinks that people who have such thoughts are the real fools, but the mistake has already been made.

Even if I wanted to back out now, there was nothing I could do!

Realizing this, Gao Qilin couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

"Sigh! Gao Qilin, Gao Qilin! If you have nothing to do, why are you pretending to be Doraemon?!"
