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

As he spoke, Mr. Zhong invited Gao Qilin into his study.

Zhong Xiaoai wanted to follow him in, but Old Master Zhong reached out and closed the door to his study.

The reason why Mr. Zhong did this was not because he did not trust his daughter.

It's simply because Professor Zhong is a very sensitive person when it comes to political issues.

He understood that it was best to keep as few people as possible from hearing what Gao Qilin was about to say.

However, although Mr. Zhong is very intelligent, he is not a person with superpowers.

He can indeed foresee some things through his wisdom and experience.

However, Zhong cannot predict everything in this world.

He naturally had no idea what Gao Qilin was actually going to tell him.

Zhong Xiaoai already knew about it; Gao Xiaoqin had told Gao Qilin and Zhong Xiaoai about it several days ago.

However, Zhong Xiaoai truly lives up to her reputation as Mr. Zhong's daughter.

She is incredibly good at keeping secrets. These past few days, Zhong Xiaoai has been staying at home with her father every day.

But she never mentioned what she had seen and heard in Handong Province, every time Old Zhong asked Zhong Xiaoai.

Zhong Xiaoai would just make up any topic to brush it off, like saying she went to some fun places with Gao Qilin.

For example, he might mention what delicious food he ate, but whenever political issues in Handong Province are involved...

Zhong Xiaoai always kept her mouth shut. No matter how her parents asked her, she seemed not to hear them and remained silent.

Mr. Zhong was a reasonable man. He noticed that his daughter didn't intend to discuss political issues in Handong Province with him.

So, Old Zhong naturally shut his mouth and stopped talking about these things with Zhong Xiaoai.

Now, Gao Qilin is bringing his business affairs into the political issues of Handong Province.

Old Zhong then asked Zhong Xiaoai to wait at the door, because he felt that Zhong Xiaoai did not want to know about the political issues at the top.

He should protect her himself, if his daughter doesn't want to be a high-ranking official.

If all she wants to do in her life is be a low-level civil servant, then that's how Zhong Xiaoai can find happiness.

Then we should respect Zhong Xiaoai's ideas; that's what Elder Zhong is all about.

Gao Qilin is an extremely open-minded person. Sometimes, when he talks with Zhong Nanshan, he is very open-minded.

He didn't even think of Zhong Lao as an official; he thought of him more as a businessman.

Moreover, he is the kind of seasoned businessman who has weathered many storms in the business world over the years.

Therefore, when Gao Qilin discovered that Elder Zhong wanted to help him, he naturally stopped hiding it.

After Gao Qilin followed Elder Zhong into the study, he took a deep breath and adjusted his thoughts.

Then, Gao Qilin smiled slightly at Elder Zhong.

"Mr. Zhong, I'm so sorry, I lost my composure just now!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhong smiled at Gao Qilin.

"It's alright, I know you've suffered so much for the sake of the people."

"By the way, you still haven't told me who the biggest obstacle to your project is right now?"

When Gao Qilin heard that Elder Zhong had finally said those words, he was even happier than if he had won five million.

At this moment, Gao Qilin felt that as long as he spoke properly and didn't talk nonsense, there would be no problem.

"The person behind the scenes who is preventing our company from developing this project is none other than..."

"He is Zhao Ruilong, the son of Zhao Donglai, the former secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee!"

Before Gao Qilin could finish speaking, Old Zhong, sitting opposite him, smiled and shook his head.

Gao Qilin originally thought that Zhong Lao would take Zhao Donglai, who had become a vice-national level official, seriously.

Unexpectedly, he just smiled and shook his head.

It seems that Elder Zhong is already very clear about the conduct of Zhao Donglai and his son Zhao Ruilong.

However, the reason why Zhong Lao did not think of Zhao Ruilongqi was because...

Perhaps it's because he felt Zhao Ruilong wouldn't be that stupid.

It's worth noting that Gao Qilin, the current chairman of Qiangsheng Group, is now dating his daughter.

As the saying goes, don’t look at the monk’s face to see the Buddha’s face.

Even if Zhao Ruilong doesn't give Gao Qilin face, he should at least give him some face.

But Old Zhong never expected that this son of an official would be so arrogant. Now, he doesn't even give him face.

"This Zhao Ruilong, back in Handong Province, he did a lot of shady things by relying on his father's power!"

Chapter 350 Take your time, there's no rush

"Qilin, I won't treat you like an outsider anymore. I'll just say it straight to you!"

"Actually, the higher-ups have always been aware of Zhao Ruilong's actions!"

"However, this guy is not so easy to deal with. Firstly, he has cultivated a lot of political forces loyal to him in Handong Province by relying on his father Zhao Donglai's connections!"

"Secondly, his father was very well hidden, and the old fox did not reveal any evidence against him."

"In other words, if we want to take action against Zhao Ruilong, we must first deal with Zhao Donglai!"

"Okay, Qilin, give me some time, and I'll give you an answer!"

The fact that Professor Zhong said these words does not mean that he has compromised with evil!

On the contrary, it is precisely because Professor Zhong said this that it proves he is a smart person.

The reason is very simple: Zhao Ruilong's current identity is that of a businessman.

In communist countries, if these businessmen dare to act recklessly, even if you are a capable person with assets of tens or hundreds of billions, they will be punished.

You're nothing more than a criminal, 477. A police station chief can easily deal with you.

The problem is that Zhao Ruilong now has Zhao Donglai backing him up.

With this protective umbrella, Zhao Ruilong could really do whatever he wanted; if you wanted to get rid of him, you had to get rid of Zhao Donglai first.

In Zhong Lao's opinion, Zhao Donglai, that old fox, is not easy to deal with.

This was also a tricky issue for Zhong Lao, so his advice to Gao Qilin was to keep calm.

Gao Qilin is a patient person, but he is also someone who knows how to seize opportunities.

Seeing that Elder Zhong was so troubled by the problem of that old fox Zhao Donglai, Gao Qilin smiled calmly at Elder Zhong.

"Uncle, do you think it's okay for me to think about this problem this way?"

"Oh? Qilin, what brilliant idea have you come up with this time? Tell us!"

At this moment, Mr. Zhong felt that perhaps Gao Qilin and his three business associates could find a breakthrough.

Therefore, Zhong Lao did not dislike Gao Qilin's suggestion; on the contrary, he greatly admired Gao Qilin.

Seeing that Elder Zhong did not show any disgust at his question, Gao Qilin smiled and said.

"Uncle, look at Zhao Donglai, he's a cunning old fox. It will be very difficult for us to find any dirt on him in a short time!"

"But Zhao Ruilong is different. As far as I know, Zhao Ruilong's style of doing things is much more domineering."

"This guy has absolutely no idea what the word 'low-key' even means!"

"If we're looking for evidence of a crime on him, it will be much easier than if we were looking for evidence on Zhao Donglai!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lao's eyes immediately lit up.

Actually, Zhong Lao wasn't stupid; it's just that as an official, his way of thinking was different from Gao Qilin's.

In Zhong's view, the issues of anti-corruption and development are actually the same and should be addressed as a whole.

We must take down these big tigers first, because only by taking down these big tigers can we succeed.

Then, those little flies and grasshoppers will have nowhere to escape, and at that point, it will be much easier to deal with these small fry.

To be honest, Professor Zhong's idea is excellent.

The problem is that sometimes the actual operating rules are different from what Professor Zhong thought.

Indeed, once those big tigers are taken down, it will be much easier to deal with these local bullies.

The problem is that these big tigers not only keep a low profile, but they are also very clever.

Finding incriminating evidence against them won't be easy.

It may take three to five years, or even more than ten or several decades, to find some clues.

But over such a long period of time, those local tyrants operating in the lower levels have harmed countless ordinary people.

This is the issue that Gao Qilin cares about; in his view, who to target is not the most important thing.

The key is to strike back, and to show that we are irreconcilably opposed to evil!

"Uncle, I want to target Zhao Ruilong first, and make him suffer a bit in the business world!"
