Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 262 The naive Gao Qilan and the understanding Chen Shuting!

Chapter 262 The naive Gao Qilan and the understanding Chen Shuting!

Two o'clock in the morning.

A Mercedes-Benz drove into the villa.

After the car came to a stop, Tang Xiaohu turned his head to look at the back seat.

Gao Qiqiang was seen lying half-reclined on the right rear seat, fast asleep.

Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaohu felt heartbroken.

Today in Jinghai, the sun is scorching hot, with a high of 41 degrees Celsius.

Logically speaking, given Gao Qiqiang's current status and position, he shouldn't need to be on-site constantly directing and coordinating operations.

However, despite the sweltering heat, while the workers took turns resting, Gao Qiqiang worked tirelessly from morning until late at night.

Even during meals and breaks, they were constantly making phone calls and assigning tasks...

The project was completed ahead of schedule, but everyone was exhausted.

They booked several food stalls around the old factory street and treated everyone involved in the construction to a late-night snack.

Gao Qiqiang was in high spirits, chatting and laughing as he thanked everyone for their hard work.

As a result, after returning from the old factory street, I slept soundly for only a few minutes.

"Even Uncle Tai is afraid of the heat, so he remotely commands from the group headquarters with the air conditioning on."

"Brother Qiang, you're something else. You have plenty of brothers to call on, but you insist on going to the front lines yourself..."

Tang Xiaohu hesitated, wondering whether he should wake Gao Qiqiang.

The living room door opened, and a beautiful figure rushed out.

Tang Xiaohu turned his head and looked closely, and was shocked to see that it was Qiang Ge's sister, Gao Qilan.

Gao Qiqiang's parents died in a car accident back then, and other relatives were also in poor financial condition.

As the eldest brother, Gao Qiqiang, even at the young age of thirteen, had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of raising his younger brother and sister.

He used the 500 yuan compensation he received from the factory to rent a fish stall on the old factory street, and from then on, he worked from dawn till dusk selling fish.

Excessive overwork, coupled with irregular eating habits, has made Gao Qiqiang not only short in stature but also appear prematurely aged.

She just turned thirty this year, but she gives the impression of being forty.

but……

Gao Qiqiang loved and cared for his younger brother and sister immensely.

We provide them with food and clothing, and we support their education, including university.

They were both quite promising.

Not only are they all tall, but they are also handsome men and beautiful women.

Moreover, his younger brother, Gao Qisheng, studied at Linjiang Provincial University of Science and Technology. Before graduating, he started his own business selling mobile phones, which became an instant hit.

Her younger sister, Gao Qilan, was admitted to Jingzhou Medical University with excellent grades. She is currently a sophomore majoring in orthopedics and has completed her bachelor's and master's degree in the same field.

Although she was only twenty years old, she was tall and graceful with delicate features, long flowing hair, and glasses, which made her look exceptionally dignified and quiet.

Seeing Gao Qilan approach, Tang Xiaohu quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

"Brother Qiang is asleep!"

"I was so busy and tired today that I didn't get much rest."

Gao Qilan stopped and frowned, asking, "Why?"

Tang Xiaohu sighed, "Isn't Huilong Energy Company officially established tomorrow?"

"As you should know, this company is under the Huilong Group, and the Huilong Group is owned by Zhao Gongzi of the Zhao family."

"To please the powerful and influential Young Master Zhao, Brother Qiang led everyone to renovate the roads around Huilong Energy and the main roads of the development zone in less than a day. That's insane!"

Gao Qilan bit her lip and stepped forward to open the car door with worried eyes.

Seeing his elder brother lying back in the seat fast asleep, he immediately shook his head.

"No, we can't let him sleep in the car. We have to find a way to get him back to the room so he can rest better in bed."

Tang Xiaohu said with some difficulty:

"But it's already past two o'clock. If we wake him up, I don't know how long it will take him to fall asleep again."

"Although the unveiling ceremony is scheduled to start at nine o'clock, we will definitely arrive before eight o'clock to prepare."

At this point, Tang Xiaohu put his hands on his hips and looked at the Mercedes-Benz sedan that was still running.

"How about this, I'll sleep in the car with Brother Qiang, with the engine running and the air conditioning on the whole time."

"Let's forget about it. Although leaving the doors and windows open won't cause poisoning, not lying down to sleep will only worsen the fatigue!"

After Gao Qilan finished speaking, she bent down and gently patted her elder brother's hand.

"Brother! Brother! Wake up, we're home, brother..."

Gao Qilan called out softly repeatedly and clapped and shook her hands.

Finally, Gao Qiqiang opened his eyes and woke up.

"are you home yet?"

"arrive!"

Gao Qiqiang turned to look at his younger sister.

His tired look instantly transformed into a smile.

"What time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Gao Qilan smiled somewhat shyly:

"After I finished reading the book, I thought I would relax online for a while, but before I knew it, it was already past midnight."

The second brother, Gao Qisheng, is in the telecommunications business and has partnered with Huilong Group to open quite a few internet cafes.

So naturally, the family had already installed the fastest broadband and used the highest-spec computer.

Gao Qilan thought her older brother would scold her.

result……

"It's okay, just balance work and rest!"

"Let's go home!"

Gao Qiqiang slowly propped himself up, feeling as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

Tang Xiaohu and Gao Qilan immediately stepped forward to help him up.

"Little Tiger, we have to get there by eight o'clock, so don't go home, just stay here!"

"Okay Brother Qiang."

"Go park the car quickly, you don't need to help me."

Gao Qiqiang turned his head slightly to look at his younger sister beside him, and couldn't help but sigh as they walked:

"Today is indeed the busiest and most tiring day of my life."

"It's even busier and more tiring than when the first Qiangsheng Xiaolingtong specialty store opened on Jiuchang Street."

"But today, I also have many feelings. I truly feel that unity is strength. For the first time, I understand that as long as we work together, there is no engineering miracle that cannot be accomplished!"

Gao Qilan laughed and said, "Brother, you're exhausted, what are you still reminiscing about?"

"No no no!"

Gao Qiqiang suddenly stopped and dropped his sister's hand that was supporting him.

"Xiao Lan, you are already twenty years old this year and a sophomore in college."

"Technological progress is rapid and society is changing quickly. In order to adapt to society more quickly and better after graduation, in addition to studying hard, you should also understand some principles of life and conduct as early as possible."

"Society is complex, and people's hearts are even more complex. You can treat people sincerely, but you can't be too naive, especially now that the internet is becoming more and more developed, and more and more people are making friends and chatting online using QQ, you..."

Gao Qilan interjected, "Brother, don't worry, I won't be fooled by sweet talk. I just chat with my classmates occasionally. I don't want to make friends or date. I'm still a student, and I won't think about those messy things."

Gao Qilan speaks with great conviction, but what is she really like?

She will never forget the eve of the Lunar New Year two years ago.

My eldest brother was arrested for fighting, so my second brother and I went to visit him with dumplings.

Fortunately, they met the upright and kind Officer An Xin, which allowed him and his second brother to get in.

Not only did they get to eat steaming hot dumplings, but they also spent New Year's Eve with their older brother in the room next to the interrogation room.

She kept her feelings for An Xin hidden deep in her heart, never daring to reveal them in the slightest.

She's only a sophomore now, but she's already thinking about finding a job at a hospital in Jinghai after graduation.

This way I can be closer to Anxin.

Even if they weren't destined to be together, she would be content just to have the chance to meet him once.

At this moment, Gao Qiqiang had no idea what his sister was thinking.

All he knew was that Huilong Internet Cafe chain was doing exceptionally well, and more and more young people were going online.

Many people not only play games, but also make friends online.

It is said that after the QQ version update, users can not only decorate their QQ space, upload photos, and post status updates, but also have video and voice chat capabilities.

Internet cafes have upgraded their headsets and webcams, leading to an increasing number of young people, dressed in unusual ways, enjoying chatting and communicating.

My younger brother, Gao Qisheng, told me that these kinds of young people now have a common name: non-mainstream.

Not only were their hairstyles and clothing unusual, but even the text they used in conversations was strange.

Gao Qiqiang, who had raised his younger sister with great difficulty, certainly didn't want her to become a non-mainstream person.

I'm even more afraid that she won't focus on her studies and will be ruined by those young, rich, and shallow men who are good at picking up girls but have little money.

"Okay, I believe you, brother!"

Gao Qiqiang smiled slightly, dragging his tired body into the villa and upstairs.

Despite being very quiet, I still woke up my beautiful wife, Chen Shuting, as soon as I lay down after washing up.

"Didn't you say you might be working all night? Why are you back?"

Chen Shuting asked, her eyes still sleepy.

"The entire group was mobilized, and my godfather called in a lot more people to help, so the work was completed a few hours ahead of schedule."

After Gao Qiqiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This day was so damn tiring.

I never dreamed that one day I would create an engineering miracle for an unveiling ceremony.

Chen Shuting let out a soft sigh.

She threw back the covers, got up, and found an expensive bottle of skincare product.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"I'll give you skincare!"

Chen Shuting knelt down next to Gao Qiqiang and squeezed out a little lotion.

Then she pulled up Gao Qiqiang's arm and started applying the ointment.

"You've been in the scorching sun all day. Look at your arms and neck; your skin is red in many places."

"If you don't moisturize and protect it quickly, it will become burning and painful in a couple of days, and then it will keep peeling."

Looking at his gentle wife, Gao Qiqiang felt a surge of warmth in his heart and didn't feel so tired anymore.

"I am so lucky to have married such a beautiful, gentle and considerate wife as you!"

Chen Shuting rolled her eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, switch hands!"

"it is good!"

Gao Qiqiang obediently raised his right arm.

He let Chen Shuting's delicate, fair hands apply lotion to him.

"How much do you think this whole ordeal will cost?"

"Just to give the workers red envelopes, I took millions of yuan in cash from home."

"Not to mention the sheer number of vehicles and equipment deployed, and the vast amount of materials consumed, all in order to meet the deadline..."

Gao Qiqiang smiled faintly.

"Even if it costs twenty or thirty million, it's worth it."

Chen Shuting paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

For ordinary people, spending tens of millions of yuan is naturally an unattainable fortune.

But regarding Jinghai Construction Group, and her husband Gao Qiqiang and godfather Chen Tai…

This money will definitely not be wasted; it will be a good investment that will surely generate substantial returns in the future.

"That's why having power is so great!"

"Secretary Wang can just say a few words and we'll be busy at all costs!"

Gao Qiqiang chuckled.

"Yes, otherwise why would so many people want to get into the system and go to great lengths to climb the ladder?"
