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

"Uncle, to tell you the truth, this Zhao Ruilong is doing business by relying on his father's political capital."

"He's not a shrewd businessman, but after so many years in business, he's forgotten his own limitations and thinks he's got it all figured out."

"If I were to actually go head-to-head with Zhao Ruilong in the business world right now, he would definitely be caught completely off guard!"

"If I were Zhao Ruilong, I would look for resources, and then those protectors of Zhao Ruilong's business would be exposed!"

After listening to Gao Qilin's words, Zhong Lao also thought that Gao Qilin's idea was very good.

But upon closer reflection, Zhong felt that something was amiss.

It seems that Gao Qilin didn't suddenly come up with this idea; judging from his expression, he seemed to have wanted to do it for a long time.

Chapter 351 We Were Prepared

Mr. Zhong is no fool. He has known countless capable and ruthless people during his many years as a senior executive.

However, he had a deep impression of Gao Qilin, and that's why he had such a deep impression of Gao Qilin.

It's not because Gao Qilin is capable; you have to understand, among the big bosses that Zhong Lao knows...

There are many people whose net worth is ten times that of Gao Qilin, and in terms of ability, Gao Qilin is not the most capable person that Zhong Lao knows.

The reason why Professor Zhong was so impressed with Gao Qilin was because Gao Qilin was so young.

His knowledge and wisdom had already reached the level of a wise old man.

"Wow! That's incredible! Qilin is so young, yet he has such foresight!"

"In my opinion, some of the officials under me are quite smart, but they are too late to realize it."

"They only become enlightened when they are over fifty years old; that's all they can do for the rest of their lives!"

"Qilin has become so insightful at such a young age, which means he will achieve great things in the future!"

"It seems my daughter is truly blessed to have married such a good man as Qilin. She is so lucky!"

Although Zhong Lao remained outwardly calm, he had already praised Gao Qilin several times in his heart.

Gao Qilin doesn't have eyes that can see into people's hearts, but he noticed that Elder Zhong's aura had changed significantly.

When Elder Zhong looked at him just now, Gao Qilin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He had to be careful with his every word and action, but now, Gao Qilin discovered that...

When Zhong Lao looked at himself, he could actually feel a touch of warmth.

This warmth made Gao Qilin very happy; he understood that Elder Zhong had already accepted him in his heart.

In the past, Mr. Zhong only regarded him as a decent prospective son-in-law.

However, Zhong would not allow Gao Qilin to participate in his own work-related matters.

After all, these things were top secret to Professor Zhong.

It is true that Mr. Zhong is an elderly man, but he is also a high-ranking official.

One sentence from him can influence the fate of many people, and many people will rise step by step because of one sentence from Dr. Zhong.

Many more people will fall into the abyss because of one sentence from Dr. Zhong.

It is precisely because of the heavy responsibility that Mr. Zhong is so cautious when dealing with problems.

But things are different now, after Professor Zhong discovered that Gao Qilin had such unique and profound insights into political issues.

He then accepted Gao Qilin in his heart. In Zhong Lao's view, Gao Qilin was a man he felt very sorry for.

If he could enter officialdom.

At most, Gao Qilin will be able to reach the position of district head in three to five years, and then, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes.

So, in a dozen or so years at most, Gao Qilin will become the Party Secretary of Jinghai City. Even if he does poorly, he will at least be at the level of a mayor.

However, Gao Qilin had no interest in becoming an official.

In his view, becoming an official was tantamount to ruining one's own destiny.

Gao Qilin ultimately prefers the freer business world, where he can do more things.

There, he wouldn't be under anyone's control; he could simply use his intelligence to do things to his heart's content.

"Alas! What a pity, Qilin! Qilin! If only you were an official like me."

"Just think how many problems you can solve for me with your brilliant mind!"

Old Zhong sighed inwardly, but his next words made Gao Qilin pay close attention.

At that moment, Old Zhong suddenly exhaled and gathered his thoughts.

Then, Zhong Lao raised his head and asked Gao Qilin with a smile.

"Qilin, I know that you business people never fight unprepared battles!"

"So, I'm convinced that you were already prepared before you decided to go toe-to-toe with Zhao Ruilong, weren't you?"

.... ....... .......

After saying this, Zhong Lao raised his head and stared intently at Gao Qilin.

Gao Qilin was startled to see that Elder Zhong was staring intently at him.

He knew he had to bring out his most treasured possessions.

When Gao Qilin was talking to Gao Xiaoqin before, he asked Gao Qilin if he could record what she said.

Gao Xiaoqin felt that as long as she could bring down Zhao Ruilong, anything she did would be worthwhile.

Without much thought, she nodded to Gao Qilin in agreement.

Now that Zhong Lao was looking at him expectantly, Gao Qilin felt it was time to bring out that video.

"Uncle, I have some evidence of crimes committed by Zhao Ruilong here!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhong did not appear particularly agitated.

He was used to big events, and the more excited others were, the calmer he became.

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Elder Zhong looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Oh? Really? What exactly is the evidence you have?"

Chapter 352 Taking a Long-Term Plan

The video that Gao Qilin showed to Zhong Lao was Gao Xiaoqin's own account, starting from when she was recruited by Zhao Ruilong.

Then, how did she transform from a rural girl who did nothing into a tool?

This was used to mislead those officials who adhered to principles during the years at the Shanshui Group.

Gao Xiaoqin may seem glamorous, but those who know her background are well aware of it.

Gao Xiaoqin was nothing more than a tool trained by Zhao Ruilong.

As a tool, Gao Xiaoqin had no choice; she was in great pain and misery.

No one knows how Gao Xiaoqin survived all those years being used as a tool by Zhao Ruilong.

It is true that Mr. Zhong, known as "477," is a high-ranking official, but he is also calm and possesses the wisdom that an elder should have.

However, Zhong knew that many things in this world were not as simple as he had imagined.

Despite Gao Xiaoqin revealing many details of Zhao Ruilong's crimes in the video.

The information about some fallen officials naturally matches what Zhong Lao had.

But Mr. Zhong also knew that if he believed this woman's one-sided story, he would fall into the trap of acting on emotion.

Thinking of this, Elder Zhong nodded to Gao Qilin.

"Qilin, the information you've collected is invaluable. But relying solely on Gao Xiaoqin's testimony isn't enough to convict Zhao Ruilong!"

"We need to gather more evidence, otherwise, not only will we not be able to convict Zhao Ruilong, but he will also turn the tables on us!"

As he spoke, Mr. Zhong let out a long sigh of relief, reflecting on his long-standing experience as a senior executive in command at the highest levels.

He was very familiar with the situation on the front lines, especially in Handong Province.

Old Zhong understood that Handong Province had long been in chaos because of the previous provincial party secretary, Zhao Donglai.

Many civil servants on the front lines of law enforcement have close ties with the Zhao family.

Getting rid of Zhao Ruilong is not a simple matter; we must be careful in everything we do.

Gao Qilin wasn't stupid; he naturally understood Elder Zhong's difficulties.

At this moment, Gao Qilin did not act like those victims whose grievances could not be redressed.

She threw a tantrum in front of Professor Zhong, crying and making a scene.

"Why? Why! I've already presented the evidence, but you still can't stand up for me?"

This is not Gao Qilin. After listening to what Elder Zhong said, Gao Qilin simply nodded to Elder Zhong.

"Uncle, you're absolutely right. I underestimated the impact of this matter."

"So, what do you think we should do now, Uncle?"
