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

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin didn't hide anything and simply nodded vigorously at Old Zhong.

Seeing that Gao Qilin had told him the truth, Zhong Lao was naturally very gratified.

However, Mr. Zhong could understand, because in his view, most of the current officials in Handong Province had done things for Zhao Ruilong.

Many of them were promoted by Zhao Donglai, the former provincial party secretary.

Now, if Gao Qilin wants to bring down Zhao Ruilong, then these people are an invisible obstacle in front of him.

If it were anyone else, knowing they would be fighting against so many people, they would probably be too scared to speak.

The fact that Gao Qilin was able to maintain his rationality at this moment demonstrates that he possesses extraordinary courage and ability, which is something that Professor Zhong naturally greatly admires.

What Professor Zhong admired most was Gao Qilin's ability to analyze problems; he was able to glean so much from seemingly insignificant details that others might overlook.

Based on this alone, Mr. Zhong felt that he had a bright future ahead of him.

However, there are quite a few people in this world with this ability.

Why is it that these people not only have no future, but also become mediocre and timid?

Mr. Zhong was a high-ranking official, and he witnessed the fall of too many geniuses along his career.

He understood the reason behind it all.

"Qilin, your observation skills are truly remarkable; I admire that very much!"

"However, I've seen many people with similar observational skills over the years, and do you know why they all ended up becoming mediocre?"

After hearing this, Gao Qilin simply shook his head in confusion.

In Gao Qilin's view, this question was too profound, and he still couldn't figure it out.

When Elder Zhong saw that Gao Qilin couldn't figure it out, he smiled slightly at Gao Qilin and said...

"It's okay if you can't understand this problem. It's not a problem that can be easily figured out."

"Let me tell you, because a small portion of these people lack self-control."

"They are the kind of people who act recklessly without thinking things through or planning ahead."

"These are the people who will fail first, while a small number of people will carefully consider things before doing anything."

"They'll wonder if what they're doing is right or wrong, but as they think about it, they get trapped in fear and can't pull themselves out!"

"There is another small group of people who are good at planning and are not afraid of difficulties or authority."

"But these people failed because they had the ability but not the power, and they had the action but not the supporters!"

"Only that last small group can truly change things, and you are that small group, understand?"

Gao Qilin wasn't stupid; how could he not understand?

Besides, this kid is very shrewd; his earlier frustration and inner turmoil were all an act.

For Gao Qilin, what he wanted from the beginning was Zhong Lao's support.

That's why he seemed so conflicted.

Some issues could have been explained in just a few words, but Gao Qilin still couldn't understand them.

At this moment, Gao Qilin looked at Old Zhong in front of him, and the expression on his face was one of pain.

But secretly, he was overjoyed. If he hadn't been afraid of being too smug and getting scolded by Professor Zhong, he would have been even more excited.

Gao Qilin would really laugh out loud in front of Elder Zhong.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

"That's good. You've already told me what you want to do these past few days, and I think your plan is excellent!"

"Qilin, do whatever you want. As long as you don't break the law, your uncle is on your side!"

Zhong's words were like a reassurance to Gao Qilin.

In Gao Qilin's view, with Zhong Lao, a powerful figure, backing him up, he could be carefree.

After realizing this, Gao Qilin finally smiled.

After leaving Mr. Zhong's house, Zhong Xiaoai asked Gao Qilin in a curious tone.

"Qilin, tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

"Xiao Ai, there's no rush. You'll see when I do it."

"Besides, this world is constantly changing. If I tell you now and then fail to deliver, wouldn't that be the same as me making empty promises to you (Ma Nuohao)?"

Despite being an entrepreneur, Gao Qilin is also the president of Qiangsheng Group.

He never boasts, except when everyone is drunk at a dinner party, in which case Gao Qilin will utter a few boasts.

But in ordinary times, Gao Qilin is always very cautious, no matter what he says or does.

Even in front of Zhong Xiaoai, it was the same, which is why Zhong Xiaoai was so fascinated by him.

"Xiao Ai, let's go take a look at that poverty alleviation project first."

"This project has been going on for almost three months now, so it should have yielded some results by now!"

As Gao Qilin spoke, he took Zhong Xiaoai's hand and wanted to take her to see the poverty alleviation project.

Chapter 355 Good Progress

"Hey! Qilin, our top priority right now is figuring out how to deal with Zhao Ruilong!"

Zhong Xiaoai asked, puzzled, when Gao Qilin was so eager to pull her over to see the poverty alleviation project.

In Zhong Xiaoai's view, dealing with Zhao Ruilong is the most urgent task now, if they are preoccupied with the poverty alleviation project.

When Zhao Ruilong finally realizes what's going on, it won't be a fun situation!

Seeing how worried Zhong Xiaoai was, Gao Qilin smiled slightly at her.

"Xiao Ai, isn't the purpose of bringing down people like Zhao Ruilong so that ordinary people can have a better life?"

Impressive! I have to say, Gao Qilin is quite something!

He was very clear about his purpose and understood what he had to do.

Others may know what to do but not why, but they know they must do it.

But they didn't understand why they were doing it.

Gao Qilin was different; he not only knew what he should do.

He also understood why he was doing this.

That's impressive, and that's why Gao Qilin was at Zhong Xiaoai's house before.

The main reason he was able to so effectively control Zhong Lao's emotions was that he was truly adept at observing human nature.

Gao Qilin is exceptionally good at observing other people's thoughts through subtle details; this is his forte.

Zhong Xiaoai gradually discovered this point as she spent time with Gao Qilin. At this point, Zhong Xiaoai felt that following Gao Qilin was like taking a reassuring pill.

Whenever she encountered something she couldn't handle, she could get inspiration from Gao Qilin.

Zhong Xiaoai couldn't learn these things from her parents.

The reason is very simple: Zhong Xiaoai's parents only try to lure her away.

As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you."

But Gao Qilin knew how to get his beloved to accept him.

Whenever Gao Qilin put forward a different idea, Zhong Xiaoai would always hesitate for a moment.

At this point, Gao Qilin only needed to say a few words of advice to Zhong Xiaoai and she would accept it readily.

It's no exaggeration to say that Gao Qilin has that ability.

From now on, he will no longer engage in business; even if he lives off a woman, this guy is still a master.

Led by Gao Qilin, Zhong Xiaoai returned to Shangguan Village with him.

In Zhong Xiaoai's memory, Shangguan Village was a place known for its extreme poverty and hardship.

The villagers here have to walk for half a day to leave the village.

But in just a few months, Shangguan Village has changed completely.

Under Gao Qilan's sweeping reforms, Shangguan Village has now been transformed into a plantation.

This area grows high-value crops such as strawberries, cherries, bananas, pineapples, mushrooms, and bok choy.

The elderly people work here every day, and they no longer have to work from sunrise to sunset.

Instead, they clock in and out like factory workers, but they have much more freedom than farm workers.

Because factory workers are governed by all sorts of rules and regulations.

They cannot whisper to each other while working, nor can they go to the toilet whenever they feel the urge.

The factory's rules stipulate that if you need to use the restroom during work hours, you must ask your supervisor for permission.

If it's just a matter of urinating, that's fine; you can hold it in for a long time.

But if you need to poop, you won't be able to hold it in.
