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

the other side.

Jinghai City.

In Xu Zhong's office.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai had only temporarily arrived in Jinghai City and did not have her own independent office. She had arranged to share a temporary office with Xu Zhong.

Zhong Xiaoai sat on the sofa in the reception area and rubbed her temples.

Xu Zhong poured a cup of hot tea for Zhong Xiaoai, who took it and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"They came with great confidence and held a large meeting, but when it came to the actual investigation... they had no clue whatsoever."

"Zhao Lidong is a clean person when it comes to doing things."

Xu Zhong nodded, his expression equally serious: "The problem lies in the fact that Zhao Lidong is the mayor, holding a high position with great power and influence. If we rashly barge into Zhao Lidong's office and home, it will have a huge impact on the entire Jinghai City."

Zhong Xiaoai sighed, "I have absolutely no clue, Ren."

"Comrade Xu Zhong, you've been stationed in Jinghai City the longest. Do you have any suggestions?"

As Zhong Xiaoai finished speaking, Xu Zhongzhen fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Xu Zhong slowly said, "Sir, Zhao Lidong has an enemy in our Jinghai City."

"It was because of this enemy that Xu Jiang, the gang leader who had previously colluded with him, died, and Zhao Lidong's affair came to light."

“I even suspect that this letter of complaint was sent to my mailbox by someone sent by Zhao Lidong’s enemies.”

As soon as Xu Zhong finished speaking, Zhong Xiaoai immediately perked up.

"Who is that person you are talking about?"

Xu Zhong took a deep breath and then said, "Gao's Real Estate, Gao Qilin!"

Chapter Eighty-Eight: Sister-in-law Cheng, from now on we're family!

"Gao Qilin?"

Zhong Xiaoai silently pondered the name.

From the moment she landed in Jinghai, Zhong Xiaoai rushed to the guidance group without stopping, and had no time to inquire about the various forces in Jinghai.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhong quickly explained, "Sir, you may not know this, but Gao Qilin is an outstanding entrepreneur who supports the municipal government. Since returning to Jinghai City six months ago..."

soon.

Xu Jiang then slowly recounted Gao Qilin's contributions to Jinghai, as well as his conflicts with Xu Jiang and Zhao Lidong.

Zhong Xiaoai's expression would soften from time to time, and her brows would furrow from time to time.

at last.

After Xu Jiang finished speaking, Zhong Xiaoai looked thoughtful and said, "It seems that Gao Qilin is not simple at all."

"Zhao Lidong, this big parasite, has been lurking in Jinghai City for so many years without anyone noticing, but Gao Qilin, a newcomer, has made things very difficult for Zhao Lidong."

As she spoke, Zhong Xiaoai sneered twice: "Even our guidance team has come."

Xu Zhong's heart skipped a beat.

"Sir, are you implying that you don't trust Gao Qilin?"

Zhong Xiaoai narrowed her eyes: "Moving this person to 120 is too much of a chore, too dangerous."

"Donating several million yuan to the municipal government doesn't prove anything; we need to get to know the specifics."

Although Xu Zhong fully believed in Gao Qilin, he also supported Zhong Xiaoai's reasonable suspicions.

After all, without witnessing firsthand the Gao family's support for the municipal government, one might indeed suspect that the Gao family has ulterior motives...

Especially Zhong Xiaoai, who, despite her young age, comes from an exceptionally powerful family and is a worldly person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in a leadership position that even Xu Zhong had to bow to at such a young age.

Thinking this through, Xu Zhong quickly changed the subject and said with a smile, "In that case, it's settled that we'll take Gao Qilin as the starting point and prepare to visit him."

Zhong Xiaoai gave a faint "hmm" and then rubbed her slightly sore neck.

With a breakthrough in the investigation, things are at least not as clueless as they were at the beginning.

Soon after, Xu Zhong smiled and said, "By the way, sir, you haven't been arranged a place to stay in Jinghai City yet, have you?"

"Shall I take you to the guesthouse?"

Zhong Xiaoai nodded: "Okay."

Xu Zhong walked to the side, picked up his coat, and handed it to Zhong Xiaoai, deliberately trying to ease the atmosphere: "There aren't many young female leaders like you nowadays, putting your own affairs behind and the affairs of China and its people first."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai gave a self-deprecating laugh: "What's so good about it?"

"I've been single for so long, and I don't know how many people have gossiped about me... Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Let's go to the guesthouse."

……

Gao family.

Gao Qilan's return home is a big deal, after all, she has been away studying for so long and didn't come home often before due to financial reasons.

Now that he has finally managed to come back during the National Day holiday, Gao Qiqiang is overjoyed.

Chengcheng, Chen Shuting, and Gao Yue from next door were also called back.

Gao Qilan had just returned and had no idea what was going on. She thought she was really just her second brother's sister-in-law.

She greeted him somewhat awkwardly, "Hello, Auntie... Auntie."

As Gao Qilan finished speaking, the three brothers in the room burst into laughter.

Chen Shuting laughed too: "This girl doesn't know what's wrong with her, she's even calling her sister-in-law? Fool, even a sister-in-law should call her sister."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting tidied Gao Qilin's slightly messy hair. Seeing Gao Qilin's bewildered expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Chengcheng smiled and stepped forward, taking Gao Qilan's hand: "Qilan, Chen Shuting is pregnant with Gao Yue, so you call her sister-in-law. Now I'm pregnant with your second brother's child, so what should you call me?"

Gao Qilan gasped, as if her brain had shut down, and stood there stunned.

Her pink lips were slightly parted, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The people inside the room looked at each other and smiled.

Gao Qilan came to her senses and whispered, "Cheng, Sister-in-law Cheng."

Chengcheng smiled and agreed, "That's right."

"Qilan, we are now family."

Gao Qilan exclaimed in surprise, looking at Chengcheng's belly with a hint of delight: "So, Sister-in-law Chengcheng, am I going to have another little nephew?"

Chengcheng nodded with a smile.

And also at this time.

Gao Qiqiang, who was standing to the side, was suddenly stunned.

Although he knew that Chengcheng and his younger brother had a close relationship, and that she could even be considered his sister-in-law.

But just now, did I overlook something very important...?

Chengcheng also has her younger brother's child?

As if waking from a dream, Gao Qiqiang suddenly slapped his thigh!

"Ouch, my ears... I didn't understand what you were saying. Chengcheng, are you pregnant?"

Chengcheng smiled and nodded, while Gao Qilin shook his head helplessly beside her: "Brother, your reaction..."

Gao Qisheng, who was standing to the side, chuckled twice: "That's right, big brother, you're only just realizing it?"

“The first thing Gao Yue does when she gets home every day is listen to Cheng Cheng’s stomach. You’re so oblivious.”

Gao Qiqiang didn't speak, but his lips moved twice, and his face flushed with excitement.

Did not expect ah.

In the past, the Gao family lived on Old Factory Street, and anyone could step on their feet.

Gao Qiqiang himself was just a fishmonger.

At that time, Gao Qiqiang's biggest dream was to raise his younger siblings to adulthood through that fish stall and watch them carry on the family line...

But at that time, Gao Qiqiang didn't know when he would be able to save enough money for his two younger brothers to get married and have children.

But now, with Gao Qilin back in the Gao family, not only is the Gao family business thriving, but he has also gained a niece...

In the blink of an eye, I'll be having my second nephew or niece!

For a moment, Gao Qiqiang was so excited that his eyes welled up with tears.

Gao Qilin noticed Gao Qiqiang's excitement and smiled as he tore off a tissue: "Brother, look at you. We've seen you like this since you were little. You always cry when you get excited."

Gao Qiqiang took the tissue and wiped his eyes: "You've made a fool of yourselves, you've made a fool of yourselves!"

"Chengcheng, what do you like to eat? I'm cooking for you today, just tell me what you want to eat!"

"I'm really good at making soup. Back in the day, I made a pot of soup for Qilin and Xiaosheng every day, and that's how they both grew so tall..."
