“I am indeed familiar with the location 940. It is precisely because I know that is where you, Fifth Master, reside that I was so confused when I saw all this.”
Seeing that Fifth Master was constantly explaining to him, Gao Qilin immediately understood what he wanted to express. Before he could continue, Gao Qilin spoke out his own thoughts.
"It's good that you could tell. But this is just a place to stay, there's no need to worry about it so much. Alright, come with me, the good stuff is on the table."
After saying that, Fifth Master strode over to the table, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the cabinet in front of him.
After the cabinet was opened, a densely packed pile of documents appeared before his eyes. He searched through them and soon found the document he wanted.
"We finally found him. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find him when I hid him so well, but it seems I was overthinking it."
Chapter 569 Speaking the Truth
At this moment, Fifth Master breathed a sigh of relief and handed the document directly to Gao Qilin.
Gao Qilin looked confused because he didn't know what Fifth Master was trying to do.
But now that he had already handed over the document, it wouldn't be right to refuse. After some hesitation, Gao Qilin took it and opened it to check its contents.
"This is a chart of patterns I've compiled over the past few days. If you buy stocks according to these patterns, I guarantee you'll earn the money you need in a very short time."
While speaking, Fifth Master appeared very confident, after all, he had never failed in this area.
“I can’t accept this. This is your hard work, Fifth Master. You could make a lot of money from this, so why are you giving it to me? You should keep it for yourself.”
When Gao Qilin saw that Fifth Master had given him such a valuable item, he couldn't accept it for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he still returned it as a matter of common sense.
Fifth Master appeared angry at Gao Qilin's behavior and said to him:
"Look at you, if I cared about that money, do you think I would have called you over? The reason I felt comfortable calling you over is because I can tell you're someone I trust. If you return this to me, wouldn't you be betraying my trust in you?"
"this……".
Seeing what Fifth Master said, Gao Qilin looked very troubled. He looked down at what he was holding, then looked up at Fifth Master in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Zhao Hu, who was standing to the side, recognized Gao Qilin and, seeing that he was at a loss, quickly stepped forward and said:
"Since it's from Fifth Master, just take it. You two have known each other for so long, don't you even trust him?"
"That's right. I only chose to meet you because you're Zhao Hu's friend. If I hadn't met you, do you think you would have this status here?"
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, Fifth Master also started to speak, and his face showed a very dissatisfied expression as he spoke.
He looked just like a wronged child, leaving Gao Qilin speechless for a moment.
Urged on by the two men, Gao Qilin hesitated for a moment before finally handing over his subordinates, and said gratefully:
"Since you two have said so, it would be impolite of me not to take this."
After saying that, Gao Qilin carefully put the items into his pocket as if they were treasures. He was extremely careful with everything, and after he finished, he even patted his chest, as if afraid of losing them.
"You should have just taken it earlier. I had to be polite to you for so long, as if I was begging you."
After seeing Gao Qilin take him down, Fifth Master looked very angry.
Upon seeing Fifth Master's reaction, Gao Qilin immediately panicked, realizing he had said something wrong. He quickly apologized and admitted his mistake, appearing extremely humble.
"Alright, I was just joking. You don't have to take it to heart. By the way, how's your business in Handong Province lately? I heard you haven't been doing very well and have encountered a lot of headaches."
Upon seeing Gao Qilin's behavior, Fifth Master immediately interrupted him and inquired about the situation on his end.
"I've been..."
Faced with Fifth Master's question, Gao Qilin appeared hesitant, unsure whether to recount his experiences over the past few days.
He felt that if he made a point of speaking up, it would seem like he was asking for pity, but if he didn't speak up, it would be impolite, which put him in a difficult situation.
At this moment, Zhao Hu noticed what Gao Qilin was struggling with, and reminded him:
"We're all so close already, so just say what's on your mind. We're all friends, so no one will laugh at you if you tell them."
"Yes, just tell me what happened. I'll only offer advice or help you. I won't laugh at you at all. Just tell me now."
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, Fifth Master chimed in in agreement.
Seeing that both of them had said that, Gao Qilin could no longer hide it and directly told them about his situation, after which he showed an expression of utter despair.
Indeed, Zhao Ruilong had tormented him to the point of being unrecognizable. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he would probably be unrecognizable by now.
"That Zhao Ruilong is a complete scoundrel! How dare he treat you like that? He doesn't respect me, Fifth Master, at all!"
After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Fifth Master looked very angry, as if Zhao Ruilong was targeting him, not Gao Qilin.
"Fifth Master, you don't need to take this to heart. This is just my business and it won't affect you. No matter what happens in the future, I won't involve you. You can rest assured, nephew."
At this moment, Gao Qilin thought that Fifth Master was afraid that he would be implicated in this matter, so he immediately began to explain.
Chapter 570 Wanting to Solve It Himself
"I'm not saying those things because I'm afraid of getting involved. On the contrary, I'd love to get involved so I can help you handle this, and Zhao Ruilong won't be so arrogant in front of you."
Seeing that Gao Qilin did not understand his meaning, Fifth Master immediately explained his thoughts and outlined his plan to deal with Zhao Ruilong.
"Don't let his success in Handong Province fool you. If he came to Beiling, he would be nothing. I could easily pick out any of my friends in Beiling and they could take care of him."
After saying that, Fifth Master picked up his phone and started searching in the list. Soon he found the person he trusted and prepared to call him.
However, Gao Qilin was not excited upon seeing Fifth Master's actions. Instead, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and said:
"In any case, this is my business, so I won't trouble you. I'm quite confident in my abilities, and I think I'm more than capable of dealing with someone like Zhao Ruilong."
After saying that, Gao Qilin looked at Fifth Master with unwavering determination. Through Gao Qilin's eyes, one could see that he was full of confidence.
“It’s better to let him do some things himself so that he can grow. If you solve everything for him, he won’t be able to solve problems on his own when they arise in the future, and that will cause a lot of trouble.”
After Gao Qilin finished speaking, Zhao Hu, who was standing next to him, also responded enthusiastically. In fact, he also wanted Fifth Master to help with this matter.
But given Gao Qilin's firm stance, he couldn't say anything.
“You’re right. I can’t help him with everything. If I handle everything for him, he might not be able to solve his own problems later. But remember this: we’re not afraid of trouble. If you ever have a problem that you can’t solve, be sure to come to me.”
Fifth Master was afraid that Gao Qilin was having difficulties and wouldn't tell him, so he made a point of emphasizing these words.
"Don't worry, Fifth Master, I'm not stupid. If I encounter something beyond my capabilities, I will definitely seek help. And with your reputation, I believe no one will dare to cause me trouble."
While Gao Qilin was granting Fifth Master's request, he also praised him, which made Fifth Master look very satisfied after hearing his words.
"I hope things are as you say. By the way, didn't you recently open a seaside amusement park? How's it going? You're the first person I know who's involved in tourism, so I'm quite curious about you."
When the topic of environment came up, Fifth Master turned his attention back to Gao Qilin.
"The Sea Paradise is doing quite well under our management, and it currently generates considerable revenue. However, compared to the business of my Qiangsheng Group, this revenue is still far from enough. That's why I came to find you with Zhao Hu."
Faced with Fifth Master's question, Gao Qilin told him about his situation without reservation. After he finished speaking, he looked helpless, as if he had been forced to come here.
Fifth Master quickly noticed Gao Qilin's actions, which made him very unhappy, and he questioned him:
"From what you're saying, you're saying you were forced to come here? Actually, you didn't have to come here at all. I could earn this money myself if I didn't give it to you."
After saying that, Fifth Master looked very angry and ignored Gao Qilin. Instead, he returned to his sofa and focused his attention on the big screen in front of him, paying attention to every move in the stock market.
"I think you're usually very eloquent, so how could you say something like this at such a crucial moment? I'm truly impressed."
Seeing this, Zhao Hu looked helpless and gave Gao Qilin a good scolding. After he finished speaking, he immediately ran to Fifth Master's side and began to speak well of Gao Qilin.
But Fifth Master is in a fit of anger right now, and it's not something he can resolve with just a few words.
Moreover, Zhao Hu knew in his heart that the one who tied the knot must untie it, and Gao Qilin was someone he cared about a lot now.
I felt that what he said would definitely have some effect.
So throughout the entire process, Zhao Hu kept looking in Gao Qilin's direction, using his eyes to tell him what to do next.
Fortunately, Gao Qilin was also quick-witted and soon understood Zhao Hu's intention. He quickly moved closer to Fifth Master and said in an apologetic tone:
"I may have said something inappropriate just now, something that made you angry, Fifth Master. Please don't take it to heart. Don't worry, I will never say such things again."
"Was this inappropriate? I think you just said what was on your mind."
Fifth Master did not accept Gao Qilin's apology and instead began to mock him.
Seeing Fifth Master like this, Gao Qilin didn't know what to do for a moment.
Fifth Master's bad temper is well-known in the industry.
Chapter 571 Feeling Disappointed
Faced with this situation, Gao Qilin could only wait anxiously on the sidelines, listening to the time slowly passing by.
Seeing that Gao Qilin didn't seem inclined to continue, Fifth Master looked at him again and said:
"Are you still not going to say anything? You've really disappointed me. I regret giving you the data I collected earlier. I think that data would be a hundred times better than giving it to those people outside."
After saying that, Fifth Master walked straight outside, but he did not take back the documents in Gao Qilin's hands.
His action was observed by Zhao Hu.
He had spent many years with Fifth Master, and Zhao Hu was quite familiar with some of Fifth Master's personality traits.
This made Zhao Hu realize that Fifth Master was actively giving Gao Qilin a way out; it was up to him to see if he could understand it.
Looking at Gao Qilin's side, he was still standing there dumbfounded, like a wooden statue.
Seeing Gao Qilin's expression, Zhao Hu looked very disappointed. He knew that Gao Qilin, in his current state, couldn't possibly understand Fifth Master's intentions, so he pulled him to his side and whispered:
"His purpose in doing this is to test you. What you need to do next is to achieve something with what he gave you. Once he sees the results, everything else will be resolved."
"You're not lying to me, are you? Things are already like this, it's really not appropriate for me to take his things and do something with them."
