But how could he dare to accept it now? Looking at the object in Gao Qilin's hand, he was terrified. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:
“You’re right. I have no relation to you or Fifth Master, so it’s really inappropriate for me to ask you for money. Don’t worry, I’ll leave now and won’t cause you any more trouble.”
1001671055
After saying that, he stood up from the ground and ran outside as fast as he could, disappearing from the room in the blink of an eye.
Seeing how well Gao Qilin handled the matter, Fifth Master couldn't help but clap and cheer.
"As expected of the person I value, you resolved this matter with just a few words. If I were to handle this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have done as well as you."
"Fifth Master, you're joking. My mediocre skills are far inferior to yours. You just didn't want to make a move earlier. If you wanted to deal with him, you wouldn't need me at all, would you?"
Faced with Fifth Master's praise, Gao Qilin immediately responded modestly, lowering his own status so as not to make the other party uncomfortable.
Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Fifth Master burst into laughter and exclaimed:
"I really enjoy dealing with people like you who are both capable and articulate."
Chapter 483 A Sudden Phone Call
At this moment, Fifth Master noticed what Gao Qilin was carrying and said with a smile:
"Looks like you have something to ask of me this time too? With our relationship now, you can just say what you need directly. There's no need to bring anything or go through formalities."
"I just came to visit you and brought some things; I don't need your help with anything."
Seeing that Fifth Master had misunderstood his purpose, Gao Qilin immediately explained and placed the cane sugar in front of him.
To maintain his physique, Fifth Master hadn't eaten cane sugar in a long time. When he saw what Gao Qilin brought him, he immediately ate it and looked quite satisfied. After finishing, he even asked:
"It's been a long time since I've had cane sugar. By the way, how did you know I like to eat this?"
“That’s easy. Didn’t you do me the honor of having dinner with me yesterday? During the meal, I noticed that you kept eating sweet things, so I knew you liked that.”
"It seems you have a strong ability to observe. With such observation skills, you are destined for great things. I have high hopes for you."
Upon learning that Gao Qilin had discovered this through observation, Fifth Master couldn't help but sigh in admiration. However, his attention remained focused on the sugarcane, and he didn't notice that Gao Qilin had something else in his hand.
Seeing that Fifth Master hadn't noticed, Gao Qilin took out the item and said:
"This is what you gave me last night. I looked through it briefly when I got back and thought it was quite important to you. The purpose of my visit is to return it to you."
After saying that, Gao Qilin put the things on the table and returned to his previous position.
Upon seeing Gao Qilin's actions, Fifth Master feigned surprise and inquired:
"The information inside this thing could make you a lot of money. Don't you feel it's a waste to give it back to me like this?"
"This thing can indeed make me a lot of money, but I think it's far from comparable to what you, Fifth Master, are worth. I can tell what's more important."
Fifth Master was very satisfied with Gao Qilin's answer, feeling that he had not misjudged him. He did not accept what Gao Qilin offered, but instead gave it to him directly.
In order to get Gao Qilin to accept, Fifth Master deliberately put on a very tough act.
"That thing was originally given to you by me. Now you're returning it because you think there's something wrong with its contents?"
"This……"
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take your things back. What, do you want me to deliver them to you?"
Seeing Gao Qilin hesitate, Fifth Master showed a very impatient expression.
At this point, Gao Qilin couldn't say anything more and could only step forward and take the things back.
"Alright, I have other plans today and don't have time to see you. I'll contact you when I have time in a couple of days, and you can come find me then."
After seeing that Gao Qilin had taken the goods, Fifth Master gave him the order to leave.
"Then I won't disturb Fifth Master's rest any longer. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."
After saying that, Gao Qilin left directly.
"Didn't you say you were going to return this to Fifth Master? Why did you bring it back?"
When Zhao Hu returned, he noticed that Gao Qilin was still holding something in his hand, and he looked quite confused.
Faced with Zhao Hu's question, Gao Qilin told him everything that had happened that day.
Upon hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhao Hu appeared quite satisfied and said:
"It seems that Fifth Master has already recognized your abilities. If things continue to develop like this, you will soon be able to keep him as your patron."
At this moment, Zhao Hu appeared quite satisfied.
"My achievements today are entirely due to Tiger's care. If it weren't for your guidance in every way, I probably wouldn't have made it this far."
"We're already so familiar with each other, there's no need for all those polite words. Alright, I know you've been busy all day and are tired. Take a few minutes to freshen up and relax. I'll take you out to see the world tonight."
As Zhao Hu spoke, a lewd expression appeared on his face. Before Gao Qilin could understand what he meant, he left.
Seeing this, Gao Qilin didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he picked up Fifth Master's things to examine them and planned his next goal.
But just as he was engrossed in watching, his phone suddenly rang.
"That's strange, why would she call me so late?"
He took out his phone and saw that it was Gao Qilan calling, which gave Gao Qilin a bad feeling.
As he expected, as soon as the call connected, he heard Gao Qilan crying.
The sound made Gao Qilin feel uneasy, so he quickly asked:
"What's wrong on your end? Did something happen? If something did happen, just tell me. Don't cry, crying won't solve anything."
"Qiangsheng Group is in trouble."
Faced with Gao Qilin's questioning, Gao Qilan choked up and began to speak, but as soon as she uttered the words "Qiangsheng Group," her sobs grew even louder.
Chapter 484 Qiangsheng Group in Trouble
"Qiangsheng Group is in trouble? What's going on?"
Upon hearing what Gao Qilan said, Gao Qilin also became anxious. After all, he was not in Handong Province at the moment, and if any problems arose, he would not be able to get over immediately.
“Zhao Ruilong knows that you have left Handong Province, so he has been targeting Qiangsheng Group these days and trying to acquire it. Of course, I oppose his actions, but he has instead set his sights on those who cooperate with us and is putting pressure on them, which has resulted in no one daring to cooperate with us now.”
“I’ve been gone for so long, I never expected him to do something like this. You wait here, I’ll go contact Elder Zhong right now and ask him to help resolve this issue.”
After saying that, Gao Qilin hung up the phone and called Elder Zhong.
But by then, Zhong Lao had already fallen asleep, so Gao Qilin tried calling several times but no one answered, which made him very anxious.
"Has something happened to Qiangsheng Group?"
Just as Gao Qilin was at a loss, Zhao Hu's voice suddenly rang out from behind him. It turned out that Gao Qilin had spoken too loudly, and Zhao Hu had overheard some of what was happening.
Upon hearing Zhao Hu's voice, Gao Qilin wanted to ask him to help him handle the matter, but just as he was about to break free to speak, he suddenly realized that Zhao Hu was with him and he couldn't get away at all. Disappointed, he said:
"Something did happen, but it has nothing to do with you, Tiger. I can handle it myself."
"How can it not concern me? Don't forget we're still working together. If anything happens, tell me right away, and I'll definitely be able to offer you some solutions."
Seeing that Gao Qilin had something to say but hadn't told him, Zhao Hu put on a very serious expression.
"You're with me now, so there's no point in me saying anything."
Faced with Zhao Hu's questioning, Gao Qilin explained the current situation, hoping to make him realize it.
"No, I have to go back and deal with this before I come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he made up his mind to go back, and then began to pack his things.
But he was only halfway through packing when Zhao Hu stopped him and said with a serious expression:
"You should know better than I why I brought you here. Things have already developed to this point. If you go back, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain? Fifth Master is not an easy person to deal with. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find him again next time."
“I know these problems without you having to tell me, but Zhao Ruilong is constantly putting pressure on Qiangsheng Group. My sister is simply not capable of handling those problems. If I don’t go back soon, I’m afraid Qiangsheng Group will be gone.”
Gao Qilin knew that the relationship with Fifth Master was very important, but he also knew that his sister was even more important.
"I thought it was something serious, but it turns out Zhao Ruilong is causing trouble again. This is easy to handle. You can leave it to me. Although our relationship has soured a bit, he won't do anything reckless because of my status. Don't worry."
After learning that it was about Zhao Ruilong, Zhao Hu became much more confident and immediately called his people in Handong Province, asking them to keep an eye on Zhao Ruilong.
After finishing his explanation, Zhao Hu put his phone down in front of him and said in a very relaxed tone:
"See? A single phone call can solve the problem. It's not as complicated as you think."
Gao Qilin had a high opinion of Zhao Hu's abilities, and seeing that he had made the call, he felt much more at ease and said:
"Well, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, Tiger. Don't worry, I'll repay this favor when I get back."
"You're still talking about personal relationships in front of me. If you feel indebted to me, then you should work on building a good relationship with Fifth Master. Only when this relationship is established will we both have a good life in the future."
Upon hearing Gao Qilin utter such polite words again, Zhao Hu appeared very angry and left immediately.
Seeing this, Gao Qilin didn't say anything more and focused his attention back on the data in his hands.
Since the information recorded above was not extensive, Gao Qilin quickly memorized it all. (Qian Li's)
After memorizing it, Gao Qilin immediately went to the stock market to prepare for its use. After all, the stock market changes every day, and if too much time passes, the data given by Fifth Master might become invalid.
However, the moment Gao Qilin stepped into the stock market, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Isn't this the apprentice that Fifth Master just took on a few days ago? Why is he here alone today?"
"I think he must have said something that offended Fifth Master, which is why he's ignoring him."
