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

"But think about it, if the whole world belonged to them, it would be very difficult for businesses to develop!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai felt that Gao Qilin's words made sense. If the whole world were full of people like this, business activities would indeed not be able to develop.

But if the whole world consists of people who only talk the talk, then no one will produce anything.

"But Qilin, it wouldn't be good if the whole world consisted of people who only talk the talk!"

"It's not good. Honest people are like water, which can quench thirst, but I think clever people who like to talk a good game are like oil."

"Think about it, this oil isn't for drinking, but it's for cooking."

"If you use the right oil, this dish will be incredibly fragrant!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai felt that Gao Qilin was indeed right.

Zhong Xiaoai also knew that Gao Qilin was a combination of both; he was able to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

He can also use his words to fool many people, and that's how Zhong Xiaoai was tricked into getting his hands on by Gao Qilin.

Zhong Xiaoai was persuaded by Gao Qilin, and she gently nudged him with her hand.

"Hmph! I'm not arguing with you anymore, I can't win an argument with you!"

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai had been persuaded, Gao Qilin finally felt relieved.

At this moment, Gao Qilin knew that since he had convinced Zhong Xiaoai, he could now tell her his plan.

"Xiao Ai, I don't feel comfortable handing over the people of Shangguan Village to either side."

"In my opinion, the best course of action is to entrust the people of Shangguan Village to people who are suitable for them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai asked in confusion.

"Qilin, then who do you think should be entrusted with the people of Shangguan Village?"

"I think it would be best to let the elderly people in Shangguan Village grow fruits and vegetables. They have worked the land all their lives, so letting them grow fruits and vegetables is the best thing for them!"

"The men in the village are strong; they can go to the manufacturing factory to work and learn skills..."

"And the women of Shangguan Village can work in real estate agencies as salespeople or domestic helpers!"

"I think that only when everyone is assigned a job that suits them can we truly say that everyone is fulfilling their responsibilities!"

It must be said that Gao Qilin's arrangement was quite reasonable.

He considered every factor and did not simply cram all the villagers of Shangguan Village into one place.

This is what a person with a brain should do.

At this moment, when Zhong Xiaoai looked at Gao Qilin, her eyes were naturally full of admiration.

In Zhong Xiaoai's view, if Gao Qilin hadn't been struggling in the business world, but instead was working in the government...

With his abilities, he should be a municipal party secretary, but he's doing quite well as a businessman now.

For Gao Qilin, becoming a businessman is also a good choice.

Thinking about all this, Zhong Xiaoai sighed.

"Qilin, I think it would be great if you were in the government. With your abilities, you should be able to become a municipal party secretary."

"I think that way, you could use the power you have to help more people!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin simply smiled and shook his head.

In his view, being able to become a municipal party secretary was naturally a good thing, but the problem was that Gao Qilin was not suited to navigating the officialdom.

Because if one wants to succeed in officialdom, there are far more issues to consider than in business.

Now he has already achieved considerable success in the business world, but starting from scratch is no easy task.

Although Gao Qilin knew that Zhong Xiaoai and her family would help him, he didn't want to start all over again.

Chapter 298 Calculation

"Become an official? Forget it. I don't have the ability to be an official. Besides, Xiao Ai, don't you think that even if someone like me became an official, he would be hopeless?"

"I really don't know how many people will suffer because I became an official!"

"You know I'm a businessman!"

"Since I'm a businessman, I have to make money. Maybe this is my destiny!"

Gao Qilin stopped there and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Gao Qilin knew that his words had touched a raw nerve with Zhong Xiaoai.

His words undoubtedly implied that if he were to become an official, he would certainly be a corrupt one.

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

In Zhong Xiaoai's view, even if Gao Qilin had the intention of becoming a corrupt official, he was still capable of doing so.

But with me by his side, this guy can't become a corrupt official even if he wants to!

"No way! With me here to keep an eye on you, even if you wanted to be a corrupt official, you wouldn't have the ability, you know that!"

"Let me tell you, if you dare to become a corrupt official, I'll punish you with family discipline!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin almost burst out laughing.

In his view, Zhong Xiaoai's family rules were essentially the same as not having them.

The reason for this statement is that, in Gao Qilin's view, Zhong Xiaoai's so-called family rules were nothing more than a formality.

In the face of a clever person like Gao Qilin, the concept of family rules simply doesn't exist.

If Gao Qilin were to become an official, he would be confident that he would have a hundred ways to bribe and amass wealth.

Perhaps, his official position will rise as quickly as a rocket.

But in doing so, he would offend many people and need to please even more people.

Yes, it is said that fortune favors the bold.

But Gao Qilin wasn't stupid; he understood that if the wealth and status he had sought were beyond his control...

That wealth would then become a risk, and besides, Gao Qilin already had something he wanted to pursue.

This is business, and he understands that he is a good businessman.

But if he were to enter officialdom, he might not be able to do well!

However, Gao Qilin was a smart man, and he knew that if he instinctively rejected Zhong Xiaoai's words...

The other party will definitely lose face, especially since Zhong Xiaoai suddenly brought up this suggestion.

It seems this might not have been her own idea; it's very likely that Professor Zhong was giving her instructions behind the scenes.

I must answer carefully, otherwise...

I'm afraid that Mr. Zhong will have a problem with me, and I wonder how much Mr. Zhong will affect my business afterwards.

Gao Qilin was very clear about this, and therefore, he was very careful in his words and actions at this time.

Of course, Gao Qilin was not the kind of person with an extremely dark heart; he knew that there were still many good officials in this world.

For example, an official like Zhong Lao is a good official!

Those honest and upright officials are wholeheartedly devoted to serving the people and the people of this country.

However, such people are extremely rare, practically as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Most people are mediocre, and it is already very difficult to maintain their position in such fierce competition in officialdom.

Those who can survive the fierce competition in officialdom and rise steadily in rank.

Those are all extremely powerful and ruthless characters; these people either possess exceptionally strong personal abilities.

They either have an incredibly powerful background that you can't even imagine; in short, it's about dealing with people like that.

You have to be very careful, otherwise you could lose your life at any time!

Gao Qilin knew this better than anyone else!

What he knew even more clearly was that if he entered officialdom...

He only had Zhong Xiaoai, a kind and caring person, to help him.

Faced with those seasoned veterans of officialdom, Gao Qilin knew he had absolutely no chance of winning!

Only after realizing this did Gao Qilin deliberately say those words to anger Zhong Xiaoai.

The reason for doing this is that Gao Qilin knows what happened just now.

Zhong Xiaoai has already acknowledged her own competence, in her opinion.

With Gao Qilin's abilities, becoming an official shouldn't be a problem for him, which would allow him to help more people.

But this was not Gao Qilin's wish. Gao Qilin was the kind of person who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.

He felt that if he became an official, he would have to say goodbye to a life of freedom forever!

Rather than compromising like this, I might as well have been more open-minded from the beginning.

At least by doing this, his relationship with Zhong Xiaoai could continue.

And he wouldn't have to get into all sorts of troubles because of being an official. In the end, he would not only lose his status as the CEO of Qiangsheng Group.
