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

"Eighteen million! Your brother couldn't have earned that much money in his entire life if he had run a fish stall!"

"It still has to be my younger brother, Gao Qiqiang! Qilin, I shouldn't have stopped you from going to the army in the first place, but thankfully you insisted on going..."

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang's face was full of sighs.

He almost couldn't bear to let Qilin go to the army.

But now that he's back, Qi Lin has led the Gao family to an unprecedented era of glory...

Gao Qiqiang couldn't help but secretly rejoice!

However, Gao Qilin quickly smiled and said, "Alright, brother, let's think about how to spend this money."

"I previously borrowed nearly five million from the bank."

Gao Qiqiang nodded: "Yes, I plan to give part of the remaining money to Xiaolan as her dowry..."

Gao Qilin immediately said, "Brother, are you planning to marry Xiaolan off so soon?"

Gao Qiqiang paused, then a hint of reluctance lingered in his eyes: "That's true."

"Of course I'm reluctant to marry Xiaolan off so early, but a girl's dowry always needs to be prepared."

Gao Qilin hummed in agreement, then leaned back in his chair and slowly said, "Brother, I'd like to donate five million of this money to the municipal government."

The words fell.

Gao Qiqiang's eyelids twitched suddenly: "Donate to the municipal government?"

five million?

This quantity...

That's way too much!

Don't be fooled by the fact that he had a whopping 18 million yuan. For Gao Qiqiang in the past, it was an astronomical figure. But after taking over the operation of the entire construction site, Gao Qiqiang realized one thing.

This 18 million won't take long at all.

You earn a lot, but you also need to make a lot of upfront payments. After considering all the future expenses, you'll only have a few million left.

If I have to spend five million, there won't be anything left.

Gao Qiqiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qilin, our family listens to you in everything now, but for something this big, you have to give me a reason."

Gao Qilin slowly said, "Brother, if we want to build a good relationship with Meng Dehai, we can't just have him do things for us while we do nothing ourselves."

"Moreover, as a newly established real estate company, Gao's Group must do something that will benefit Jinghai City!"

Gao Qiqiang then nodded.

As expected of Qi Lin.

Her vision was indeed much longer-term than his.

From this perspective, it seems that spending those five million is indeed necessary...

……

the other side.

Li Hongwei was recently released from prison.

They are currently at the Dreamy Bar in Jinghai City.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, his small eyes, already not large, were slightly narrowed, filled with displeasure.

A friend standing nearby asked, "Hongwei, why are you so unhappy?"

"Exactly, let's have some fun when we're out!"

Li Hongwei licked his lips: "I just got out of jail, how can I be in the mood to party?"

"You guys do your thing."

But as Li Hongwei finished speaking, the people around him did not calm down.

Instead, he bumped Li Hongwei's shoulder with his own: "Hongwei, do you think that girl is hot enough?"

"Go and win her over tonight and have some fun. Consider it a welcome-back dinner for you."

Li Hongwei subconsciously followed his companion's gaze and looked over.

A young woman with shoulder-length short hair, thin eyebrows, and red lips exuded a seductive charm in the dim light.

Wearing a white suit, he looked completely out of place in the surroundings.

But it still couldn't hide the woman's capable and charming temperament!

Li Hongwei immediately licked his lips, a look of drooling on his face, and walked towards the other party.

"Hey beautiful, out and about alone?"

The woman coldly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over Li Hongwei's face.

Then he spoke softly, "Li Hongwei?"

"I came here to see you. Come out with me."

the other side.

Gao family.

"Brother, how much money did you make? Eighteen million?!"

Gao Qisheng's eyes widened behind his glasses, his face filled with disbelief.

Gao Qiqiang chuckled and ruffled his third brother's hair: "Aren't you a college student in our family? How come you can't even count this much money?"

Gao Qisheng gasped, his eyes fixed on the accounts in front of him.

"No, brother, I just find it too unbelievable..."

"What kind of life did our family live before Second Brother came back? Now that Second Brother has only been back for a short time, our Gao family has actually become millionaires?"

"My second brother... thankfully we all listen to him."

Gao Qiqiang nodded with a sigh: "Indeed."

"With our second brother Gao around, maybe what your second brother said before... can really come true!"

As he spoke, a hint of ambition slowly appeared on Gao Qiqiang's face.

Standing at the pinnacle of the entire Jinghai City.

It sounds like a difficult task, and for the Gao family, which has no foundation, it seems almost impossible.

But in fact.

With Qi Lin around, Gao Qiqiang always felt that this wasn't some unattainable dream...

……

at the same time.

Dreamy Bar.

In the alley, Chengcheng and Li Hongwei stood facing each other.

Li Hongwei's expression also turned serious.

He was intoxicated at the bar earlier, and in the dim light, he mistook her for a woman to seduce.

But as soon as he stepped out of the bar, Li Hongwei realized that this woman had an extraordinary aura.

Finding yourself is definitely not an easy thing.

Li Hongwei dropped his nonchalant attitude and looked Chengcheng up and down: "Who are you?"

Chengcheng looked at Li Hongwei with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

The business partner she had chosen was completely different from her brother-in-law; they were worlds apart.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's usable, albeit barely...

It's a pity about my brother-in-law.

He is indeed a good man, but...

He simply became his own opponent.

The Construction Group must absolutely not fall into the hands of anyone other than ourselves!

Thinking this, Chengcheng said coldly, "I'm here to help you."

"The construction site next to Mang Village, Gao's Real Estate, they're the ones who put you there, right?"

Li Hongwei's expression tightened, and he retorted, "What do you mean?"

Chengcheng said, "I can help you get rid of Gao's Real Estate."

Li Hongwei remained silent for a moment.

If Li Hongwei were to say who he hates the most right now, it would definitely be Gao's Real Estate.
