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

Instead, the goal is to make the poor aware that making money is a risky business.

They must learn to control their investments and to do more than they can afford.

But what if we don't have that much money?

It's very simple. You just need to borrow money from those who have money. Only when you realize that you need to borrow enough money from others to serve yourself will your enthusiasm be mobilized.

However, there's really no need for these villagers to talk about these things now.

Gao Qilin knew that all he needed to do now was get these villagers used to city life.

Make them realize that the city is not only a place of high consumption, but also a place with many opportunities.

Only in this way can the villagers have a clear understanding of the city and figure out their own place in society.

Gao Xiaoqin wasn't stupid; she understood that Gao Qilin wasn't a fool.

Keeping over a hundred people living in Jinghai City would cost a considerable amount each day just for their food and drink.

Now that the demolition project of Dafeng Garment Factory is imminent, it seems that Gao Qilin definitely wants to use the labor force of Shangguan Village to carry out this project.

Thinking of all this, Gao Xiaoqin smiled slightly at Gao Qilin.

"Brother Qilin, you're a smart man. I don't think your main purpose was just to bring over a hundred men and women to Jinghai City for fun, right?"

"Of course not. I not only want to take them out to have fun, but I also want them to adapt to life in the city!"

Is that all?

Gao Xiaoqin kept Gao Qilin's secret, which only made her more curious about Gao Qilin's plan.

Seeing Gao Xiaoqin asking so many questions, Zhong Xiaoai, who was sitting on the side, smiled at Gao Xiaoqin.

"Mr. Gao, to be honest, my husband is like this when things haven't been done yet."

Please forgive him for not sharing his thoughts with others!

Out of respect for Zhong Xiaoai, Gao Xiaoqin didn't ask any further questions.

But Gao Qilin's unusual behavior was like planting a thorn in Gao Xiaoqin's heart.

Given Gao Xiaoqin's personality, she will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.

However, due to Zhong Xiaoai's relationship with her, Gao Xiaoqin could only conduct the investigation secretly by having someone investigate behind her back.

Chapter 283 Secret Investigation

When the convoy arrived in Jinghai City, Gao Qilin indeed kept his word.

He had already arranged accommodations for the villagers of Shangguan Village. He converted a large building into a "Happiness House" for the villagers to live in.

Gao Xiaoqin thought that when these villagers were pulled out of the village by Gao Qilin...

What awaited them was a heavy workload, but unexpectedly, Gao Qilin kept his word!

Seeing this, not only Gao Xiaoqin but also the strategists around her found it all too unbelievable.

At this moment, one of Gao Xiaoqin's strategists asked Gao Xiaoqin in a puzzled tone.

"That's strange. Could it be that Gao Qilin is already complacent? Does he want to devote himself to public welfare?"

After hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin simply smiled at her strategist without saying a word.

Gao Xiaoqin wasn't stupid; she knew that Gao Qilin was not someone who would be easily satisfied. A guy like him would always have a purpose in whatever he did.

All of their actions revolved around this goal, if Gao Xiaoqin knew Gao Qilin's purpose.

She would be able to figure out his every move. If it were in the past, Gao Xiaoqin would definitely have sent an undercover agent to Qiangsheng Group to find out Gao Qilin's background.

But things are different now, because of Zhong Xiaoai.

Gao Xiaoqin was already hesitant to act rashly; she dared not send an undercover agent to investigate Qiangsheng Group. Now, Gao Xiaoqin could only wait and see.

"Whatever Gao Qilin wants to do, we must help him!"

"As long as he doesn't commit any crimes, that's fine. By the way, tell everyone that you've kept things under control during this period."

"Don't you dare cause trouble at Gao Qilin's company, or I will not tolerate it!"

Gao Xiaoqin's change in attitude made her strategists very uncomfortable.

They couldn't understand why this strong woman had become like this. In the past, she would always rise to the challenge whenever she encountered a formidable foe.

But this time, Gao Xiaoqin seemed like a completely different person.

She is no longer as full of fighting spirit as she used to be, but no matter how Gao Xiaoqin changes.

Her advisors still dared not act recklessly, just as Gao Xiaoqin herself said.

Those strategists and advisors all depend on her for their livelihood; if they are fired, they will no longer have a comfortable life.

With her near-perfect skill in managing people, Gao Xiaoqin kept her subordinates firmly under her control.

At this moment, no one dared to disobey her orders.

The villagers of Shangguan Village had already taken control of Xingfu Village when they discovered how good Gao Qilin was to them.

The villagers felt as if they were dreaming, and some of the more impatient villagers still couldn't believe it.

"Boss Gao, you're so good to us. Tell me, what exactly do you want us to do?"

"Boss Gao, as the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. You haven't asked us to do anything, yet you've given us such a nice house. We feel uneasy about it!"

"Boss Gao, just tell us what you want us to do! Just say the word!"

Seeing how anxious the villagers of Shangguan Village were, Gao Qilin smiled slightly at them.

"I told you, there's no need to rush, just settle in comfortably!"

No matter how the workers asked, Gao Qilin remained silent.

The workers had no choice but to stay in Xingfu Village, thinking that since they were already there, they decided to do so.

After more than a hundred villagers were settled in Xingfu Village, Zhong Xiaoai also felt strange.

Although she agreed with Gao Qilin's approach, she felt that simply supporting these villagers was not enough.

However, this method of poverty alleviation is not feasible if they are not allowed to do any work.

"Qilin, I don't understand either. You let these workers stay, but you don't arrange jobs for them."

"What exactly are you trying to achieve by doing this?"

"Xiao Ai, I really just wanted them to adapt to city life."

"Besides, the demolition project of Dafeng Garment Factory is about to start."

“I can assign work to these villagers today, but now is not the time, do you understand?”

In the past, Zhong Xiaoai was with Gao Qilin because...

It wasn't because Gao Qilin was the chairman of a company, but because Zhong Xiaoai felt that Gao Qilin was different from other businessmen.

As the saying goes, "No merchant is without guile!"

Businessmen rarely reveal their true intentions; they only do so when forced into a corner.

Now, Zhong Xiaoai is getting angry because Gao Qilin is always hiding information from her.

However, when she thought about how Gao Qilin was indeed helping the villagers of Shangguan Village, Zhong Xiaoai suppressed her anger.

What Zhong Xiaoai didn't know was that when she felt doubtful...

Gao Xiaoqin has already started investigating this matter. She called Qi Tongwei to inquire about the specifics.

Chapter 284 Mayor Qi's Insight

"What's wrong? My little darling, you're calling me again at this hour?"

Qi Tongwei, who was on the other end of the phone, was naturally very happy to hear that Gao Xiaoqin had called him.

Qi Tongwei is currently so busy with a series of events that his head is spinning.

If he didn't have several meetings he had to attend and couldn't get away, Qi Tongwei would probably have already run to Gao Xiaoqin's side.

"Honey, what are you saying? I didn't call you this late just to flirt!"

"Alright, alright, I'm not joking with you anymore. So, what brings you here this time?"

Qi Tongwei knew that Gao Xiaoqin never liked to joke.

If she really wanted to flirt with Qi Tongwei, she would send herself over there.

Every time Gao Xiaoqin called Qi Tongwei, she would use a separate phone card, 370.

She had to discard one card every time she played.

The reason for doing this was to maintain secrecy, given Qi Tongwei's identity and status.

If Gao Xiaoqin gets too close to Qi Tongwei, it won't be a good thing if the outside world finds out.

It was precisely because of Gao Xiaoqin's cautious nature that Qi Tongwei maintained a close relationship with her.

“Honey, let me tell you, Gao Qilin has been busy with poverty alleviation projects lately.”

"In order to improve the lives of the villagers in Shangguan Village as quickly as possible, he actually moved more than a hundred villagers out in one go."

"Moreover, I estimate that he doesn't want to assign jobs to these people in the short term."
