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

"He even specially built a building for them called Happiness Village so that these villagers could live there."

"I don't know why he did this. Does he really want to help these ordinary people escape poverty?"

"But if we want to lift them out of poverty, simply supporting them like this isn't a solution!"

Qi Tongwei was a very intelligent man, and after listening to Gao Xiaoqin's words...

They didn't lose their ability to think or become a gossipy person just because things were bizarre.

If Qi Tongwei is that kind of person, then he could never have become the mayor of Jinghai City.

I'm afraid even becoming a village chief is not an easy task.

Upon hearing Gao Xiaoqin's words, Qi Tongwei simply smiled calmly.

Then, Qi Tongwei told Gao Xiaoqin everything that was on his mind.

“Xiaoqin, you told me before that Gao Qilin did this mainly because he wanted to give Zhong Xiaoai a gift.”

“He knew that Zhong Xiaoai was an idealist. Idealists are always naive when they do things and always want to do things perfectly.”

"But they don't realize that reality and ideals are very different; if a person wants to do something, they must submit to reality!"

Halfway through his sentence, Qi Tongwei immediately changed the subject.

"But it's difficult for Gao Qilin. For him, lifting the people of Shangguan Village out of poverty is a task he must complete. Otherwise, Zhong Xiaoai wouldn't be with him!"

"So, Gao Qilin had no choice but to do it, even if it meant gritting his teeth. And relocating these villagers from Shangguan Village was just the first step!"

"In my opinion, Gao Qilin will take a second and a third step!"

At this moment, Gao Xiaoqin had already figured something out; she was a smart person.

Every time Gao Xiaoqin spoke with Qi Tongwei, she didn't need him to make any definitive statements.

With just a gentle nudge, Gao Xiaoqin was able to understand the meaning behind the other person's words.

After understanding what Qi Tongwei meant, Gao Xiaoqin nodded on the other end of the phone.

"I understand. It seems that Gao Qilin is only allowed to succeed this time, and failure is not an option."

"However, changing a person's fate is an extremely difficult thing."

"And it's even harder to change the fate of a group of people!"

"Hmm, I think Gao Qilin is definitely looking for outside help right now!"

Sure enough, Gao Xiaoqin wasn't stupid; she was the kind of good student who could apply what she learned to other situations in class.

No matter what difficulties she encountered, Gao Xiaoqin only needed to listen to the teacher's analysis for a few minutes.

She can see the whole picture; that's what makes her capable!

Qi Tongwei, on the other end of the phone, was very pleased to see that Gao Xiaoqin had grasped the concept so quickly, and nodded to her.

"That's right, it's exactly as you think!"

"Gao Qilin would never let this matter go wrong in order to please Zhong Xiaoai."

“And I reckon Gao Qilin is probably looking for someone to specifically take charge of poverty alleviation in Shangguan Village. Xiaoqin, haven’t you always wanted to seek new political resources?”

"I think this is a great opportunity for you!"

If it were anyone else, they would definitely agree immediately after hearing this.

But Gao Xiaoqin wasn't stupid; she knew she had to be careful when answering that question.

Otherwise, you might offend Qi Tongwei!

Chapter 285 Unwavering until Death

In Gao Xiaoqin's view, Qi Tongwei's seemingly caring words actually contained a major hidden threat.

That's the term "new political resources." You have to understand that resources and people are different.

A person can deal with many kinds of resources in their lifetime, which means that resources are just commodities to people.

In the past, when technology was underdeveloped, people used wood to make fires for warmth.

Later, as technology advanced, people began to use resources such as coal and electricity.

Nowadays, many people are using solar energy or even nuclear energy to provide resources.

However, regardless of the resources used, people make choices for their own comfort.

This means that for people, resources are something that can be replaced or discarded at any time.

And that's how Qi Tongwei planted the seed of his shock with his statement about his family background. The meaning of Qi Tongwei's words is actually very simple.

He just wanted to test Gao Xiaoqin, to see if Gao Xiaoqin would gain access to a new political force like Zhong Xiaoai.

So, in her eyes, he, the mayor of Jinghai City, is an old flame?

Is it just a simple political resource?

Although Qi Tongwei was a smart man, he knew that his relationship with Gao Xiaoqin was nothing more than a transaction of money and power.

But Qi Tongwei is, after all, a grown man!

In his view, since he and Gao Xiaoqin had been intimate, there must be something else between them.

Otherwise, what was the point of all the effort and methods I used for Gao Xiaoqin?

Does this mean I'm just a tool that someone else has used?

Whether in business or in bed, it's the same!

But Qi Tongwei was, after all, a mayor, and as a mayor, he flew into a rage over such a trivial matter.

Qi Tongwei felt that he was being too low-class, which is why he used this indirect approach to get some truth out of Gao Xiaoqin.

At this moment, Gao Xiaoqin also realized what was going on when Qi Tongwei asked her that question.

Gao Xiaoqin smiled and answered from the other end of the phone.

“Darling, look at what you’re saying. To me, Zhong Xiaoai is a political resource.”

But you're different; you're my support!

"Don't let my current position as the chairman of Shanshui Group fool you; the reason I have achieved what I have today is all thanks to you!"

"Without your help, I would be nothing!"

Gao Xiaoqin truly lived up to her reputation as a master at manipulating emotions; with just a few words, she dispelled Qi Tongwei's concerns.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei was so charmed by Gao Xiaoqin on the other end of the phone that he was almost completely lost.

Qi Tongwei laughed heartily on the other end of the phone.

"Hahaha! You're right, we're the ones who are truly bound together!"

"Xiaoqin, don't worry, as long as I'm in this position, I'll keep you safe!"

"By the way, have you thought of a way to help Gao Qilin?"

Qi Tongwei is a very calm person. He would never forget what his most important task is to solve just because he is feeling proud and happy.

Qi Tongwei knew that the most important thing he should do now was to help Gao Xiaoqin get out of her predicament.

So when Gao Xiaoqin was troubled by Gao Qilin's situation, Qi Tongwei thought about how he could help her out of her predicament.

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin frowned and said to Qi Tongwei.

"Honey, I've come up with a plan. Don't worry, I'll fully cooperate with Gao Qilin to complete the poverty alleviation task in Shangguan Village!"

"Hmm, not bad, but Xiaoqin, you have to remember, you're not just completing a task!"

"You need to understand that my future and your future both depend on this Zhong Xiaoai!"

... ....... 0

"From now on, as long as Zhong Xiaoai is willing to lend us a hand, our future will be bright."

"But if Zhong Xiaoai doesn't want to help us and instead becomes our enemy, then things will be difficult for us!"

Qi Tongwei is a smart man; his vision extends further than Gao Xiaoqin's.

While Gao Xiaoqin was still wondering whether she should go into a room.

Qi Tongwei had already figured out a way to leave the room; that's Qi Tongwei's ability!

At this moment, when Qi Tongwei told Gao Xiaoqin these words, Gao Xiaoqin naturally took the matter very seriously.

Gao Xiaoqin understood that she had to give Qi Tongwei a satisfactory answer before he would feel at ease with her.

"Honey, don't worry, I will mobilize the entire group's resources to help Gao Qilin complete his poverty alleviation work during this period!"

With these words, Qi Tongwei was completely relieved. In his view, his political future was now secure thanks to Gao Xiaoqin's presence!

From now on, all he needs to do is help Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Qilin, and he will have everything he wants.

Chapter 286 Finding a Talented Person

"Good! It's good that you have this attitude, Xiaoqin! Don't worry, Gao Qilin is not an ungrateful person."
