Chapter 372: Walking into a Trap (5)

Lao Xiao is a developer of Qiao Keli. They were classmates when they were in school.

At that time, Qiao Kelijia was bullied at school because of his parents' poor background;

The Xiao family, on the other hand, came from a family of poor and lower-middle peasants. Wherever they went, they held their heads high...

So, at that time in the class, Lao Xiao was the monitor and had great appeal;

Qiao Keli is considered a laggard in the class...

However, the situation changed. After the college entrance examination was reinstated, students began to pay more and more attention to their studies. Although Qiao Keli lagged behind in other aspects, he was a good student. Gradually, Lao Xiao often asked Qiao Keli for advice when he encountered academic problems. Of course, as the class monitor, he also took good care of Qiao Keli. Whenever his classmates bullied Qiao Keli, he would stand up and help Qiao Keli...

As a complementary partner, they help each other, each takes what they need, and have always gotten along very well.

Ever since Qiao Keli and Lao Xiao became good friends, no one dared to bully him, a man of poor family background; and Lao Xiao finally had a reliable ally in copying homework...

As they grow up, their development changes dramatically.

After graduating from high school, Lao Xiao took over his parents' job as a factory worker, working as a fitter. He was highly skilled and respected within the factory. However, at that time, cultural knowledge and academic qualifications were highly valued. His factory was advanced, and every promotion was blocked because he didn't have a college degree. By the time he was 35 or 36, the factory was struggling, so Lao Xiao simply took a leave of absence and started his own business.

Initially, he traded in fashion items like clothes and tape recorders. While he earned pocket money, it was a very hard job. Later, he noticed the high divorce rate, with many third parties driving out their first wives. Investigation firms were booming in the market. Since he had many friends and a wide network of contacts, he had ample resources in this area. So, he started his own investigation firm, helping resolve family disputes. While he didn't make a fortune, the income was steady, and compared to his old trade, it was much more comfortable, and he made a good living.

Qiao Keli, on the other hand, studied all the way. With his innate ability to grasp knowledge, he was admitted to a prestigious high school, and then to a prestigious university. He studied abroad, both domestically and internationally, ultimately enrolling in the coveted Stanford University for a master's degree... When he returned from his studies abroad, his father had become a wealthy man...

Afterwards, he naturally took over and became the chairman, becoming a rich man that everyone envied.

Although Lao Xiao and Qiao Keli's lives have changed a lot, their friendly relationship has always been preserved.

As one of the first to get rich, Qiao Keli often asked Lao Xiao for help. For example, he asked him to help him find out about his father's extramarital affair and the private lives of some employees in the company. Lao Xiao helped him a lot in these matters, allowing him to eliminate dissidents and quickly take control of the situation.

Old Xiao sometimes had to ask Qiao Keli for help. For example, he was tracking a wealthy man's basic information, mobile phone and social media accounts... To Qiao Keli, these were all insiders, and he knew everything, so he could provide them unconditionally...

Although their life circumstances have changed a lot, they still have to help each other and get what they need, and they continue to do so.
