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

"A very important client from the company wants to see you. I wanted to postpone it for a while, but no matter what I said, they just wouldn't agree. I came here specifically to report to you so as not to miss this opportunity."

"An important guest? Is he here to discuss a contract with me?"

After hearing what his assistant said, Gao Qilin looked puzzled, because he hadn't made any appointments with anyone before.

"Since there's something going on at the company, you should go and take care of it. You said yourself that I fainted from shock, so I'm fine and just need to rest for a bit."

Just as Gao Qilin was thinking about this, Gao Qilan also started urging him.

Seeing that Gao Qilan was in such good spirits, Gao Qilin didn't say anything more. After giving a brief explanation of the precautions, he left.

On his way to the company, Nan Zhan Nan Hu kept thinking about this question, wondering who exactly wanted to see him.

Upon entering the company, an elderly man in his sixties caught Gao Qilin's eye.

Although the person was old, they seemed very energetic and didn't have the demeanor one would expect from an elderly person.

However, Gao Qilin had previously worked with relatively young people, and this was the first time he had met someone so old, which made Gao Qilin somewhat skeptical.

"What do you want from me?"

To be on the safe side, Gao Qilin first inquired about the other party's purpose. Because the other party was older than him, Gao Qilin maintained a very respectful demeanor throughout the conversation.

Upon seeing Gao Qilin's expression, the other party burst into laughter and said:

"Didn't your assistant tell you why I'm here? It seems he's really not doing his job properly. You'll have to have a good talk with him later. Since he didn't tell you, then I'll tell you: I'm here to do business with you."

Seeing that Gao Qilin did not know the purpose of the visit, the other party spoke directly.

"Are you here to do business with me? What kind of business do you want to do?"

Upon hearing that the other party was there to do business, Gao Qilin continued to ask questions cautiously, since people of this age are not easy to get along with.

Upon seeing Gao Qilin's tense expression, the other party burst into laughter.

"I'm just looking to do some business with you, don't be so nervous. Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm so sorry."

The other person was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he hadn't introduced himself, and immediately apologized to Gao Qilin.

"My name is Zhao Hu. People who know me call me Tiger. I don't know if you've heard of me before."

"Master Tiger?"

Upon hearing the other person's name, Gao Qilin fell into deep thought.

He had heard of the name before, but the rumored Tiger was said to have a very good relationship with Zhao Ruilong, and the two were basically together every day.

However, these were all just Gao Qilin's guesses. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he asked first:

"You wouldn't happen to be Tiger, the guy next to Zhao Ruilong, would you?"

"I am Tiger, but don't worry, I'm not here to see you about Zhao Ruilong."

Chapter 389 Retirement Planning

"If you didn't come for Zhao Ruilong, then what are you here for?"

Upon realizing that he hadn't come for Zhao Ruilong, Gao Qilin actually looked quite surprised.

Seeing Gao Qilin's expression, the other party became angry and said impatiently:

"Hey young man, how come your memory is so bad at such a young age? Didn't I tell you before that I'm only here to talk business? We won't discuss anything else."

"The main thing is that the relationship between the two of you is really hard not to overthink. Since you didn't come here for him, what kind of business are you planning to do?"

Seeing that the other party kept talking to him about business-related matters, Gao Qilin didn't ask any more questions and got straight to the point.

"Since you've asked directly, I won't beat around the bush. I heard about your retirement plan a while ago, and I'm really interested in it. Could you tell me more about your retirement plan?"

How did you find out about my retirement plans?

Upon hearing what the other party said, Gao Qilin appeared quite surprised, because he had only told this plan to people he trusted before, and had never even heard of it from outsiders.

“I’m always well-informed. No matter how secretive something is, I know about it, so there’s no need to be so surprised.”

Seeing Gao Qilin's surprised expression, the other party burst into laughter again.

However, Gao Qilin did not speak again, but kept looking at Zhao Hu in front of him.

It is known that Zhao Hu, like Zhao Ruilong, is rumored to be extremely ruthless.

But the Zhao Hu in front of him gave Gao Qilin a kind and amiable feeling, which made him unable to tell which one was the real him.

"So, are you willing to do this business with me?"

Seeing that Gao Qilin remained silent, Zhao Hu asked again, but this time he appeared very impatient.

Indeed, Gao Qilin made him wait quite a long time.

"Do you think I would dare to cooperate with you under the current circumstances? Why don't you tell me where you heard about this plan from? That way, there might still be a possibility for us to cooperate."

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, the other party looked very troubled, and after hesitating for a while, continued:

"I can't really tell you that. After all, you probably know that I'm always very well-informed, and I really can't tell you where I get my information or where I hear it. How about this, I'll call my assistant and see if he knows anything about it."

Seeing that Gao Qilin didn't speak, he took out his phone and searched on it for a while before making a call.

"Xiao Zhang, didn't you tell me about that retirement plan a while ago? Where did you hear about it? Could you tell me about it again? I've completely forgotten."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and investigate for you right away."

Upon learning the source of Zhao Hu's retirement plan, his assistant immediately began to investigate, which took up some of his time.

"Zhao Ruilong told me about this retirement plan. Do you have any other questions?"

"Old Zhao told me. I'm all set on my end. Thank you so much for your help this time."

"I don't know if you heard what I just said. Zhao Ruilong told me."

"How is that possible? How did Zhao Ruilong know about my retirement plans?"

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin's expression remained one of surprise; he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

"That's what my assistant said anyway. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing that Gao Qilin still didn't believe it, Zhao Hu didn't say anything more.

However, just as he was about to leave, he stopped again, rummaged in his pocket for a moment, took out a card, handed it to Gao Qilin on the table, and continued:

"But I should remind you that I came here with sincerity. I know your project is short of money, so I brought enough money for you this time."

"It's true that I'm short of money, but I'm not the kind of person who takes money from just anyone. I appreciate your kindness, but if there's nothing else, please go back. I have some things to take care of, so I won't see you off."

However, Gao Qilin didn't care about the money. When he saw the other party put the money (Li De's) in front of him, he showed a very impatient attitude and directly handed the money back to him.

"I've discovered that you're just stubborn and inflexible. You still don't understand what I mean, so I'll just tell you directly."

Seeing that Gao Qilin still didn't understand what she meant, she called over the other side with a very impatient look.

“I know you’ve had a big falling out with Zhao Ruilong lately, and I’m here to help you.”

"You're here to help me? That sounds so unusual. I think it's already a good thing if you don't harm me."

Although the other party spoke very sincerely, Gao Qilin did not believe them.

Chapter 390 provides an explanation.

After all, his relationship with Zhao Ruilong is there, and under these circumstances, any normal person would probably find it hard to believe.

In addition, Zhao Hu just mentioned that his retirement plan was told to him by Zhao Ruilong.

This shows how good their relationship was; Gao Qilin knew that the other party would never help him in return.

Thinking of this, Gao Qilin directly asked in a questioning tone:

"What tricks are you trying to pull this time?"

"Playing tricks? Don't be ridiculous. With your status and abilities, dealing with you would be a piece of cake. I wouldn't need to use any tricks at all."

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhao Hu couldn't help but burst into laughter, but after saying that, he put on a serious expression.

"I hate it when people repeat themselves, but I can pretend you didn't hear me clearly and I'll say it again: I'm here to discuss business cooperation with you. I want your money, it's that simple."

While he was speaking, his eyes were fixed on Gao Qilin, making Gao Qilin feel very uncomfortable.

However, through the caring look in his eyes, Gao Qilin could tell that he wasn't lying to him at all, which left Gao Qilin unsure of how to handle the situation.

Gao Qilin was still undecided, but he didn't want to waste time with the other party. After hesitating for a moment, he continued:

"I think I need to think this collaboration through carefully. After all, your relationship with Zhao Ruilong is really too complicated. How about this, give me three days. Come back to me after three days, and I'll tell you my thoughts. What do you think?"

Do you really think I have that much free time to keep coming to see you?

However, Zhao Hu appeared very impatient after hearing Gao Qilin say that.

Seeing that Gao Qilin still didn't agree to his request, Zhao Hu couldn't help but explain his current situation.

"I came to see you this time simply to discuss business. Besides, Zhao Ruilong and I haven't been getting along very well these past few days, so you don't need to worry about me colluding with him to target you."

"Aren't you two birds of a feather? How come you're having a fight?"

However, after hearing what he said, Gao Qilin couldn't help but sigh. But Gao Qilin quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

But the other party didn't pay attention to that and simply nodded.

"To be honest, some time ago, Zhao Ruilong's men did something that provoked me. I didn't want to bother with him over such a small matter, but his men seemed to be brainless, doing it again and again after the first time. This really annoyed me, so I came up with this solution."

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he looked like he had a headache.
