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

However, Gao Qilin felt that these things alone were not enough, as if something was missing.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that his legs were not very nimble when he met Zhao Hu, which made him think of starting with his feet.

Thinking of this, Gao Qilin immediately rushed to the place where he bought shoes and spent about 50,000 yuan on a pair of cloth shoes.

After preparing all these things, Gao Qilin headed to the address given by Zhao Hu.

However, after Gao Qilin entered, Zhao Hu showed a look of disdain and teased him:

"Why are you so late? I remember your company isn't far from here."

"I figured it would be a bit embarrassing to come to Kashgar empty-handed since it was my first time, so I bought some things on the way."

Upon seeing this, Gao Qilin quickly explained his situation and presented the shoes and health products he had prepared in advance.

Upon seeing the shoes Gao Qilin handed him, Zhao Hu was immediately drawn to them, his gaze lingering on them for a long time.

After standing there stunned for a few seconds, he exclaimed:

"How did you know I needed a pair of shoes recently? Let me tell you, I've been worrying about shoes these past few days."

After saying that, Zhao Hu took the shoes and started trying them on in front of Gao Qilin.

After walking around in the clothes for a couple of times, Zhao Hu smiled again and said:

· ·······Request flowers·· ········

"You have good taste. These are just the right size and comfort level."

"By the way, how did you know my foot size? If I remember correctly, I didn't tell you that when we first met, did I?"

However, Zhao Hu had barely finished praising him when he began to question him.

"We met once before, didn't we? I only glanced at your feet then and remembered their approximate size. It was actually a coincidence that the price was right this time."

"I've heard that you're a serious person, but I didn't expect you to be this serious. You truly deserve to be my Tiger's little brother."

………………

After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhao Hu laughed again and looked very pleased.

However, at this moment his attention was entirely focused on the shoes on his feet, and he completely forgot that Gao Qilin was still beside him.

Seeing this, Gao Qilin coughed twice to attract his attention.

Hearing Gao Qilin cough, Zhao Hu paused for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered something and said in an apologetic tone:

"Look at my memory, I completely forgot that you came to see me for something. What happened to you that you couldn't tell me over the phone?"

"I came to see you today mainly about Zhao Ruilong."

Seeing that Zhao Hu had remembered, Gao Qilin stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhao Hu looked confused and asked:

"Zhao Ruilong's matter? If I remember correctly, he shouldn't have caused you any trouble since you told me about him last time, right? What, have their people come again these days?"

"They didn't come, but they haven't given up yet, so I think..."

Chapter 402 Reaching an Agreement

"You want to eliminate the problem completely so you won't have to worry about it anymore, right?"

Before Gao Qilin could finish speaking, Zhao Hu immediately understood what he was trying to say.

"Tiger is shrewd; he saw through my thoughts at a glance."

Seeing that Zhao Hu had guessed what he wanted to say, Gao Qilin's attitude improved a lot, and he took the initiative to serve him tea and water.

“I remember your company has no connection with Changguan Village. Why are you so concerned about things related to Changguan Village?”

However, Zhao Hu appeared quite puzzled; he couldn't understand why Gao Qilin insisted on focusing all his energy on that village. "770"

"To be honest, Changguan Village is my sister's life's work. She has been working tirelessly for poverty alleviation in Changguan Village for the past few years. Now that things have finally started to look up, this has happened."

When Zhao Hu questioned him, Gao Qilin told the truth and put on a pitiful appearance, hoping to gain Zhao Hu's sympathy in this way.

But Zhao Hu was a seasoned veteran; Gao Qilin's acting was utterly pathetic in his eyes. So, upon seeing him like this, he showed obvious disdain and said directly:

"Alright, stop playing the victim in front of me. You're a grown man, is this funny? I hate it when guys act like this."

Seeing Zhao Hu's strong aversion to such things, Gao Qilin's attitude changed once again.

“I now know the reason for this. Although I, Zhao Hu, am not a good person, I am not the bad person you describe either. I will still take action against anything that sabotages poverty alleviation efforts.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin knew he had achieved his goal and resumed serving Zhao Hu, constantly praising him in an attempt to gain more favor.

"Can't we be normal? I hate it when people put on airs in front of me."

However, upon seeing Gao Qilin's appearance, Zhao Hu showed great disgust and roared at him.

Upon hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin immediately stopped what he was doing and stood there, unsure of what to do next.

Seeing Gao Qilin's nervous expression, Zhao Hu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You don't need to be so nervous. Although I dislike that behavior, you're my little brother, and I won't do anything to you. By the way, do you know why I took you as my little brother back then?"

"This... I really don't know."

Faced with Zhao Hu's question, Gao Qilin was stunned, because he really didn't know why Zhao Hu had agreed to it directly.

"It's normal that you didn't know, since I didn't tell you before."

Seeing Gao Qilin like this, Zhao Hu sighed deeply, staring at the ceiling as if recalling a very sad thing.

After a few seconds, Zhao Hu looked at Gao Qilin again and continued:

“Just recently, Zhao Ruilong’s men actually bullied my daughter. I have always spoiled her and never let her suffer any grievances. So after experiencing this incident, she couldn’t bear the humiliation and committed suicide.”

When he said this, you could see that Zhao Hu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Although this incident happened a long time ago, he still couldn't calm down.

"What? Zhao Ruilong's men would do something like this? Does he even consider you a friend?"

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin couldn't help but complain, considering that their relationship was still being talked about...

"I don't know either. I went to him about this, but he just brushed me off with a few words, saying his subordinates were confused. So from then on, I swore I would never have any contact with Zhao Ruilong again. Not to mention contact, I would even kill him."

Zhao Hu clenched his fists tightly as he said this, which showed how angry he was.

Seeing this, Gao Qilin didn't know what to say and just stood there. However, there was something he couldn't understand: what did this have to do with Zhao Hu liking him?

"That's exactly why I like you. Because you and Zhao Ruilong are now enemies, we can join forces to deal with him."

Just as Gao Qilin was thinking, Zhao Hu spoke again, revealing his own plan as well.

It turns out that he sought out Gao Qilin not only for business cooperation, but more importantly, to work with him to deal with Zhao Ruilong.

In fact, Gao Qilin had already seen through this 2.8 point, but he just didn't say it.

Now that Zhao Hu has taken the initiative to open up, Gao Qilin realizes that the other party's trust in him has deepened.

In order to gain Zhao Hu's greater trust, Gao Qilin immediately said the following after Zhao Hu finished speaking:

"You know my situation. I've long hated Zhao Ruilong to the core. Now that he's your enemy, I'll make sure he knows what happens when he goes against Tiger."

At this moment, Gao Qilin displayed an aura of intent to kill Zhao Ruilong, which pleased Zhao Hu.

Chapter 403 Matters of Cooperation

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. It means I, Zhao Hu, haven't misjudged you. Alright, let's leave Zhao Ruilong's matter here. I don't want to relive those painful memories."

After saying that, Zhao Hu focused his attention on the antique in his hand, as if nothing had happened.

"I've already told you when I needed to trouble you, Tiger. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still have some things to take care of."

Now that Gao Qilin had achieved the result he wanted, he felt there was no need for him to stay any longer. Seeing that Zhao Hu remained silent, he decided not to waste any more time and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, we still have things to talk about. Why are you leaving so soon?"

However, just as Gao Qilin was about to leave, Zhao Hu's voice came again.

"Is there anything else? Tiger, do you have something you need my help with?"

Gao Qilin was very confused after hearing Tiger's words.

"It's not that I need your help, it's about our cooperation. You haven't been giving me any updates on the progress of our retirement plan lately. Is there something wrong on your end?"

"This……"

Faced with Zhao Hu's question, Gao Qilin began to stammer, because he had indeed encountered some financial problems recently, but he was too embarrassed to ask Zhao Hu for help.

“You’re practically my little brother now, so just say what’s on your mind. There’s no need to hide anything. Besides, I’ve been involved in this retirement plan, so I think I have a right to know about it, right?”

Faced with Zhao Hu's questioning, Gao Qilin knew he couldn't hide the truth any longer, so he told Zhao Hu about the difficulties he had encountered in recent days.

"Since you've put it that way, I won't hide it from you either. I have indeed encountered some problems these past few days. The funding required for this project far exceeds my expectations, and I'm currently worried about it."

"After all that talk, it all comes down to money. Didn't I tell you before that if you have any financial problems, just come to me and I'll take care of it for you?"

Seeing that Gao Qilin was still worried about money after talking for so long, Zhao Hu looked helpless and took out a card from the side and handed it to Gao Qilin.

"There's a little money in this card. It's not much, but it should be enough to help you through your current difficulties. Take it and use it."

"I can't take this money. I'll find a way to make a living myself."

When Zhao Hu handed him the money directly, Gao Qilin quickly refused.

"If I needed money, I would have told you already. The fact that I haven't told you now means that I don't really need it yet, so you don't need to worry too much. I'll find a way myself."
