71: Chapter 71 It turns out he was Gao Qiu's grandson.

Soon, Li Qingmei arrived.

Gao Yuan sat in his office, watching Li Qingmei.

"Boss Li, we meet again!"

"President Gao, it's a pleasure!"

Li Qingmei was somewhat restrained, completely lacking the wantonness she had during their first meeting.

Back then, when Li Qingmei saw Gao Yuan, her first reaction was that she could use his influence to pressure the Qin Family...

In truth, many years had passed, and Li Qingmei's love for Qin Jun had long since vanished.

Now, she just had an obsession in her heart; she had to marry Qin Jun, even if only for a day! That would be enough for her to feel fulfilled.

It was just that Gao Yuan hadn't taken the bait back then...

Later, after Li Qingmei looked into Gao Yuan and was warned, she never entertained such thoughts again.

It wasn't until Gao Yuan founded '2024' that Li Qingmei became filled with awe toward him...

Someone with such immense power was simply not someone she could touch...

Now, seeing Gao Yuan, she felt a sense of dread...

"Boss Li seems a bit nervous. Do you know who I am?"

Li Qingmei hesitated for a moment...

"I do..."

"Oh?" Gao Yuan was somewhat surprised. "Tell me then!"

"President Gao's surname is Gao, and you are so low-profile. I've thought about it, and the only family capable of producing someone like you is that of Officer Gao from a hundred years ago! He was the one who laid the foundation for the current structure of the human world..."

"Is that so? Which Officer Gao?" Gao Yuan asked with a faint smile.

But inwardly, he was quite excited...

Could it be that his identity was finally settled?

"President Gao, are you testing me? Although I'm just an antique shop owner now, I still... have some understanding of the upper echelons. Officer Gao, Gao Qiu, became the Chief Executive of the Human Federation Administrative General Administration in 2920 and held the position for twenty years. He had a rigorous style and passed a series of decrees that objectively opened a crack in the barrier of class solidification. Now, the size of the middle class is twenty times larger than it was a hundred years ago, and there are even instances of middle-class people becoming part of the elite. Furthermore, the people at the bottom live more comfortably now than they did a hundred years ago. These are all the political legacies left by Officer Gao..."

"It's a pity Officer Gao met with an accident, but I've heard he has a son who keeps a low profile and rarely appears in public, while firmly controlling the Human Federation Academy of Sciences to strive for more living space for humanity..."

"If I'm not mistaken, President Gao, you should be the grandson of Officer Gao, Gao Qiu..."

Gao Yuan had a look on his face like he was constipated...

Gao Qiu? A big shot?

That name was certainly something.

However, in Li Qingmei's eyes, Gao Yuan's expression only confirmed her suspicion.

Gao Yuan didn't say anything afterward, neither denying nor admitting it...

"Alright, Boss Li, haven't you always wanted to see Qin Gang? Interested in coming with me to meet him?"

Li Qingmei looked pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

"Of course..."

Gao Yuan used his Brain-Link to contact Wang Yifei Bingbing, asking about Su Dai's current situation in the club. He learned that he was currently playing with horses in the equestrian scene...

After all, he was not even fifty yet—a young man with no interest in flowers and plants—while Qin Gang was off by himself in a daze in the high-level forest hut...

Gao Yuan and Li Qingmei went straight to the 28th floor, to the forest hut. As soon as they entered, they saw Qin Gang's face full of sorrow.

To a man who loved flowers as much as his own life, plucking a flower in front of him was equivalent to killing him once... Qin Gang's emotions were likely still immersed in grief...

After all, precious orchids were considered rare treasures even in the real world, let alone in the Future World! In the Future World, where even a pothos was treated as a treasure, an orchid was a treasure among treasures...

Old Man Qin treated the club as his home and the plants as his family...

Now that Su Dai had come and devastated his "family," Qin Gang probably felt like killing him.

At this moment, Gao Yuan and Li Qingmei walked toward Qin Gang...

Hearing the sound, Qin Gang looked up...

He took a glance, then lowered his head again, only looking up once more after ten seconds...

"Li, Li Qingmei? Why are you here?"

"Uncle Qin, we meet again!"

"Indeed!" Qin Gang naturally recognized this woman who had almost become his daughter-in-law...

Since it hadn't worked out, they hadn't met since then. Although many years had passed, Li Qingmei hadn't changed much! He recognized her at a glance...

"Who is he?" Qin Gang pointed at Gao Yuan and asked Li Qingmei.

Li Qingmei hesitated and looked at Gao Yuan. Seeing that he had no intention of answering, she said, "He is the owner of this club... and also Officer Gao's grandson!"

Qin Gang was stunned for a moment. "Officer Gao? Which one? The only one who could be called Officer Gao in the last century is Gao Qiu... Could it be..."

Qin Gang looked at Gao Yuan, and the more he looked, the more he saw the resemblance...

"No wonder you have such great boldness. I've always been curious about who had the energy to create such a club. So it's Officer Gao's grandson... then it's not surprising! Officer Gao is my idol... and Dean Gao, your father—I met him once thirty years ago. He was very graceful in his conduct... You truly have the air of your father and grandfather!"

Qin Gang didn't doubt Gao Yuan's identity at all...

If Gao Yuan had said it himself, even with this club, Qin Gang would have had some doubts.

But coming from Li Qingmei, it was much more credible!

After all, Li Qingmei was from the Mojing Li Family, which was considered quite prominent among the top tier!

Gao Yuan extended his hand. "Old Qin, I've been busy and haven't had the chance to visit. Please forgive me!"

"Haha, I was wondering why this club invited me first. So it was you... The Gao Family has a worthy successor! I was saying before, why did the owner of this club have a four-character name? I felt something was fishy. Gao Yuanyuan Gao is your pseudonym, right?"

Gao Yuan smiled. "Old Qin, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Gao Yuan!"

"Good, good, good... Excellent!"

Now that Gao Yuan had made a public appearance, the first step was successfully completed. Qin Gang was fully convinced of his identity...

Next, he could use Qin Gang to meet Su Dai...

Then use Su Dai to give himself an official identity.

Then use that identity to find the real Gao Family, cooperate with them, and complete his final transformation. From then on, he would be a true member of the elite in this world, acting without restraint, which would also be a huge help for him to call the shots in the real world...

Once he had the full support of the Future World...

Gao Yuan could go all out in the real world.

"Old Qin, I heard that the little demon king of the Su Family, Su Dai, has arrived..."

At the mention of Su Dai, Qin Gang gritted his teeth. "How did that animal find out about this place! He always operates in Zhongjing; I don't know what kind of madness possessed him to come to Longjing..."

In the Future World, humans mainly gather in the Eight Great Capitals: Longjing, Mojing, Shangjing, Zhongjing, Shenjing, Yuejing, Linjing, and Gaojing!

These Eight Great Capitals concentrate 75% of the population. Another 5% are active on Mars, the Asteroid Belt, and the Moon! The remaining 20% are distributed across 108 human settlements!

Gao Yuan naturally knew that Qin Gang hated Su Dai right now; otherwise, he wouldn't have come at this time... If he waited a couple of days and Qin Gang's anger subsided, it might not be as easy to handle...

"Old Qin, actually, I can't stand Su Dai either, but I've never dealt with them. Since he's here, as the host, it would be impolite of me not to show my face... Could you introduce us?"
