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

In her opinion, being the chairman of the Shanshui Group was a lucrative position, but Gao Xiaoqin didn't want to take it.

There must be some shady dealings going on behind the scenes.

Chapter 315 There's Still a Hidden Hand

"Qilin, I just don't understand. You have to know that being the chairman of the Shanshui Group is a very lucrative position."

"I don't know how many people want to climb to this position, but Gao Xiaoqin doesn't want to do it anymore."

"Could it be that for her, being an official is more interesting and has a better future than being a chairman of a company?"

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai was unaware of the trickery involved, Gao Qilin smiled and said to her with a smirk.

"Xiao Ai, in my opinion, this matter is not as simple as you think."

"In my opinion, Gao Xiaoqin is just a figurehead."

"She's nothing more than someone else's maid, and there's an unseen force behind this Shanshui Group!"

"That enormous black hand controls the Shanshui Group, and even someone as intelligent as Gao Xiaoqin would find it difficult to escape its control!"

Gao Qilin's words shocked Zhong Xiaoai.

It's worth noting that Zhong Xiaoai used to envy Gao Xiaoqin.

In her view, Gao Xiaoqin's background was not as good as hers, but her life had been much harder.

However, she rose to her position step by step through her own efforts. Now, Gao Xiaoqin has become the chairman of Shanshui Group. Through her own hard work, she has achieved a very high level of success that a woman can attain.

Zhong Xiaoai naively thought that Gao Xiaoqin, who had reached this position, should be very happy.

But now she realizes that what she saw was only the surface; Gao Xiaoqin had indeed reached a very high position.

But she wasn't happy; in fact, she wanted to get out of that position!

When Zhong Xiaoai learned of all this, she was shocked.

She wanted to know who the mastermind behind Gao Xiaoqin's control was.

"Qilin, since you are so clear about Gao Xiaoqin's situation."

"I think you should also know who the mastermind is controlling Gao Xiaoqin behind the scenes, right?"

"I have a feeling that the guy who controls the Shanshui Group behind the scenes will be your future enemy!"

She stopped talking halfway through her sentence.

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"No! This mastermind is our common enemy!"

Zhong Xiaoai's words deeply moved Gao Qilin, and Gao Qilin knew that.

She already has a place in Zhong Xiaoai's heart!

This is a very rare occurrence, and Gao Qilin knew that Zhong Xiaoai would never easily let a man into her heart.

Given Zhong Xiaoai's personality, once she lets a man into her heart...

That means this man can reside in Zhong Xiaoai's heart for a long time.

As long as this man doesn't do anything outrageous in the future, Zhong Xiaoai will not drive him out of her heart!

Thinking of all this, Gao Qilin almost burst into tears.

However, as the chairman of Qiangsheng Group, Gao Qilin still had some self-control.

Gao Qilin paused for a moment before speaking to Zhong Xiaoai on the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Ai, thank you so much, I'm really grateful."

"We've been married for so long, there's no need to say such mushy things to me!"

"As for you, ask Gao Xiaoqin if she's free tomorrow. I want to talk to her!"

Although Zhong Xiaoai is not a high-ranking official now, she has achieved success because of her parents' connections.

However, Zhong Xiaoai rarely chats with others, so when she decided to chat with someone...

That means this person should be promoted.

"Sure! I think Gao Xiaoqin will definitely have time. After all, I don't think anyone in the whole world would refuse my wife's invitation!"

"Ugh! I'm talking to you about serious matters right now!"

Seeing that Gao Qilin was still preoccupied and joking with her, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but yell angrily at him!

For Zhong Xiaoai now, figuring out which hand is controlling Gao Xiaoqin from behind is the most important thing.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Qilin called Gao Xiaoqin.

When Gao Qilin called her, Gao Xiaoqin felt that this was very strange.

According to Gao Xiaoqin, Gao Qilin wants to persuade Zhong Xiaoai based on the current situation.

It should have taken some more time, but I didn't expect Gao Qilin to call me so quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that Gao Qilin always left Gao Xiaoqin with the impression that he was reliable in doing things...

At that moment, Gao Xiaoqin would really think that Gao Qilin was joking with her.

But for Gao Xiaoqin, as long as she entered the officialdom...

She could then frequently meet with Qi Tongwei in secret, as long as Gao Xiaoqin handled it properly.

Perhaps, she can still get rid of the dark hand behind her back.

In order to achieve these two goals, Gao Xiaoqin accepted even though Gao Qilin's calls were harassing calls!

"Mr. Qilin, you called me so quickly, is there some good news?"

"Mr. Gao, my girlfriend wants to meet you. Do you have time?"

Chapter 316 Thoughts

For a smart woman like Gao Xiaoqin, does she have the time?

Then it depends on who you want to see. If the person you want to see is very important...

Gao Xiaoqin naturally has free time, but only if the people she meets are unimportant.

Then, Gao Xiaoqin would simply say that she was not free.

This is Gao Xiaoqin; she is a very calculating woman.

However, Gao Xiaoqin wouldn't scheme against either of these two types of people.

One type is someone you genuinely like, like in front of Qi Tongwei.

Gao Xiaoqin acted like a child, always asking Qi Tongwei for advice whenever she encountered a problem.

In Gao Xiaoqin's eyes, the world is full of dangers, and only Qi Tongwei truly helps her.

And another type of person is someone like Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin.

Gao Xiaoqin knew that both of these people were stronger than her, and if she tried to outsmart one of them...

That's no laughing matter; if things go wrong, she could end up getting herself into trouble.

When Gao Xiaoqin learned that Zhong Xiaoai wanted to see her, she was naturally very happy.

However, no matter how happy she was, she could only hide her joy in her heart.

At this moment, Gao Xiaoqin knew that her attitude and reaction were very important.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the other party doesn't say a word on the phone; in a battle between masters, there's never a question of stopping short of a decisive move.

In Gao Xiaoqin's view, when masters clash, there is only one move, never a back-and-forth.

If she appears too excited on the phone, the other person will know what she's thinking.

From now on, I might become a piece of meat that Zhong Xiaoai has her eye on.

Wouldn't that be like going from one tiger's den to another?

After realizing this, Gao Xiaoqin remained very calm.

At this moment, Gao Xiaoqin simply smiled and said to Gao Qilin on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Gao, I'm free tomorrow. If Ms. Zhong is also free tomorrow, then we can make an appointment!"

"Okay! I'll arrange it for you!"

The next day at noon, in one of the most upscale restaurants in Jinghai City.

Gao Xiaoqin booked a top-tier private room, but only ordered a few home-style dishes.

When Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin arrived at the VIP private room, they saw that Gao Xiaoqin had only ordered a few home-style dishes.

Zhong Xiaoai was shocked, knowing that Gao Xiaoqin had even figured out her living habits.

Because these few common dishes are not expensive.

But these were all things Zhong Xiaoai loved to eat; sometimes, that's how you treat people.

The gift you give may be expensive, but the recipient may not like it, or the gift may be expensive.

But once people have seen better things, they naturally won't care about what you give them.
