CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"Don't you want to eat with me? I understand. You think my status as Fifth Master is so low that there's no need for me to eat with you, right? If that's the case, then I won't say anything more. Just stay here by yourself."

After saying this, Fifth Master looked very disappointed and got into his car to leave.

Seeing that Fifth Master had misunderstood, Gao Qilin immediately panicked, stepped forward to stop him, and said:

"Fifth Master, you misunderstand. I didn't mean that at all. The reason I didn't keep up just now was because I felt that we had a big argument earlier, and it would be a bit inappropriate to suddenly act like this again."

Only then did Fifth Master realize that Gao Qilin was worried about this issue, and he began to laugh loudly, saying:

"There's nothing wrong with this. I didn't mean to argue with you. I just did that to provoke you. You've probably seen me when I'm angry before. If I were really angry, do you think you would still have the right to argue with me?"

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Qilin realized that this was indeed the case, so he didn't continue to talk about it. After hesitating for a while, he got into the car.

Cai Zhongtai witnessed the whole scene, and when he saw them about to leave, he immediately took a taxi and followed them.

"That's Fifth Master's car, are you sure you want to follow?"

At this moment, the driver immediately recognized the people in the car and began to warn them, fearing something might happen.

Chapter 574 Following All the Way

"I'm sure, so stop asking so many useless questions and just do as I say. If things get delayed, can you take responsibility?"

When the other party asked such a question, Cai Zhongtai acted as if he was determined not to waste his time, and then took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and threw them in the other party's face.

Although the driver was still worried, he didn't dare to ask any more questions after seeing so much money, and simply followed them all the way.

Finally, it stopped in front of a restaurant.

"Although your matter has nothing to do with me, I still have to remind you that this restaurant is Fifth Master's favorite place, and it's heavily guarded. If you're following him, you'd better be careful not to get caught."

"Who told you I was going to follow him? You're just spouting nonsense. What if someone overhears your ramblings and misunderstands?"

Upon hearing what he said, Cai Zhongtai immediately showed a very impatient expression. After saying that, he got out of the car and watched the driver drive away before turning his attention back to Fifth Master and the others.

However, due to the delay caused by what had just happened, Fifth Master and the others had already gone inside, causing him to lose track of them.

"That driver was such a chatterbox. I don't know why he was so nosy. He acted like it was his business and made me lose track of the other side."

Faced with this situation, Cai Zhongtai couldn't help but start complaining. But now that he had followed them all this way, it would be a real shame not to continue. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go in and take a look.

But as soon as he stepped outside, he was stopped by those people, who stood outside and said in a disdainful tone:

"This is a high-end restaurant, not just anyone can come here. You should go to the small restaurant next door; the prices there are more suitable for you."

After saying that, the other person didn't look at Cai Zhongtai again, but instead focused their attention on other things.

This scene infuriated Cai Zhongtai, and he roared at the group:

"You look down on me, huh? Fine, I'll show you what I'm made of!"

After saying that, he rummaged in his pocket and took out all the little money he had left.

Although it was a lot of money, it represented his entire fortune, so he still looked very reluctant when he took it out.

Seeing that Cai Zhongtai had suddenly produced so much money, the two waiters at the door became noticeably more polite and said:

"We were blind to your abilities just now. We apologize for the trouble. Please come in and we'll arrange a good seat for you right away."

They were unaware that this was Cai Zhongtai's entire fortune, so they were extremely respectful.

However, Cai Zhongtai did not pay attention to their attitude and immediately focused his attention on the surrounding environment after entering.

Although the restaurant wasn't very big, it was quite crowded, and the constant flow of people made it difficult for Cai Zhongtai to pinpoint his target, which put him in a very difficult position.

His wandering gaze was immediately noticed by a nearby waiter, who asked:

"Are you looking for a place to dine? If so, there's a nice spot by the window. The sunlight and everything else are quite good. I recommend you go there."

But Cai Zhongtai had no interest in listening to what he was saying. At that moment, he didn't even look at where the waiter was pointing. Instead, he focused all his attention on the crowd, looking for Gao Qilin and the others.

"Sir? Sir?"

Seeing that Cai Zhongtai ignored him, the waiter next to him looked very confused. Because he spoke loudly, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Seeing so many people staring at him, Cai Zhongtai immediately panicked. He hurriedly walked in the direction the waiter pointed, glanced around briefly, then appeared quite satisfied and said:

"This spot is pretty good, I'll take it. I need some quiet time to think things through, so don't bother me unless it's important."

"Okay, just contact me if you need anything. I'm in charge of services in this area, and I'll be there as soon as you call me."

After saying that, the other person left and turned their attention to the others.

"Why is my trip going so badly? First, the driver's words disrupted my plans, and then that waiter said those useless things to me. What, does even God not want me to follow anyone?"

Just as he was complaining, a familiar figure flashed past him again. It was none other than Gao Qilin.

Although he wasn't very familiar with Gao Qilin, after some observation, he discovered that Gao Qilin had been getting very close to Fifth Master these days.

Moreover, Fifth Master valued him highly and devoted all his energy to Gao Qilin.

This made Cai Zhongtai realize that Gao Qilin was a crucial breakthrough point; once he got his hands on him, everything else would be much easier to solve.

Chapter 575 Gift of Fishing Boat

However, he was not familiar with Gao Qilin, and it would not be easy to get him to help. For safety's sake, he decided to choose the safest way to solve the problem, which was to drug Gao Qilin.

"There isn't a good spot around here, so let's make do here. The sunlight here is relatively good, and it's the only usable spot for now."

After looking around, Fifth Master couldn't help but start complaining. He never expected that this place would turn out like this without prior reservation.

Upon hearing Fifth Master's voice, the waiter immediately rushed over and said in an apologetic tone:

"I'm so sorry, Fifth Master, as you can see from the situation today, our business is booming, so we can't reserve a good seat for you. You see..."

"Fine, this is fine. I'm just here to eat, so the location doesn't matter. Hurry up and bring out my favorite dishes; I can't wait any longer."

Faced with this situation, Fifth Master couldn't say anything more and simply told the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Because Fifth Master had been a regular customer of 943, the waiters already knew what he liked to eat.

So after Fifth Master finished speaking, the waiter immediately did as he was told and quickly brought the dishes to them.

Upon seeing the dishes arrive, Fifth Master actually took the initiative to put some food on Gao Qilin's plate and said:

"Let me tell you, all their dishes taste amazing, especially this one, you should try it."

Fifth Master's action made Gao Qilin very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to accept the food that Fifth Master offered.

"You're Fifth Master, I should be the one serving you food, you're being too polite..."

“When you’re with other people, just show me respect. But here it’s just the two of us, so you don’t need to be so polite. Just treat me like a buddy. If you’re too polite to me, I’ll feel really uncomfortable.”

Fifth Master knew what Gao Qilin wanted to express, so he immediately explained his situation and took the initiative to lower his position, giving Gao Qilin a sense that they could get along. However, the more he did this, the more uncomfortable Gao Qilin felt.

But since things had already come to this, Gao Qilin couldn't say anything more and could only go along with Fifth Master.

After seeing Gao Qilin eat the food he had picked for him, Fifth Master spoke up:

"Your amusement park is currently enjoying great success, and I think now is the perfect time to invest. What are your plans for that?"

"I think we should develop steadily for a while first, and it's not too late to invest when we have some money in hand. Otherwise, it's not a good thing for us to force things when we don't have any money now."

When asked by Fifth Master, Gao Qilin explained the situation on his side.

He knew that now was the best time, but he had very limited funds and couldn't make any big moves.

Although the men's football team had put it very tactfully, Fifth Master still saw his predicament and said:

"Are you short of money? That's alright. I expected this to happen, so I got you a dozen or so fishing boats. These are professional sightseeing boats. Once we get them to your location, they'll definitely attract a large number of tourists."

"I appreciate your kindness, Fifth Master, but I really can't take this ship. You can keep the money for yourself. I believe that with my abilities, I should be able to earn the money back soon."

After saying that, Gao Qilin appeared very confident, after all, he had made quite a bit of money in the stock market, and investing that money in the marine park could change things a lot.

Furthermore, they no longer need those pre-decorated ornamental boats; what they need more are ordinary ones that allow them to create their own designs.

But at this moment, Fifth Master felt that Gao Qilin was only saying that because he was embarrassed to take his things, which instantly made his expression turn displeased, and he said to Gao Qilin:

"That's not very nice of you. I'm willing to spend money to improve your situation because I consider you a friend, but what do you mean by not accepting it?"

"It's not that I don't want to accept them, but these ships aren't really of much use to me."

Faced with Fifth Master's questioning, Gao Qilin immediately began to explain. In order to convince him, he specifically explained his marketing plan and showed him the photos he had taken earlier.

"I see. It seems you have a good business sense. If it were me, I wouldn't have thought of such a method."

After seeing Gao Qilin's proposal, Fifth Master couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, he began to admire Gao Qilin's business acumen.

“I suddenly realized that you also have a certain talent for business. Have you ever thought about developing in that direction?”

“I used to be a businessman. Because my business grew too fast, it threatened Zhao Ruilong’s interests, which is why I was targeted everywhere.”

Faced with Fifth Master's question, Gao Qilin truthfully explained his situation, fearing that his reservations would be misunderstood by Fifth Master.

"Oh, I see. No wonder you're so quick-witted."

Chapter 576 Forced Gift

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Fifth Master sighed again, but he had already prepared the fishing boats, and there was no use for the others. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Gao Qilin:

"Although you don't really need those ships, I have to send them to you because I've already placed the order. What use would I have for those ships if you didn't want them?"

"What? You've already placed an order? That's a bit too sudden, isn't it?"

Upon hearing what Fifth Master said, Gao Qilin's expression froze instantly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he immediately searched his pockets, and soon pulled out several cards, handing them over and saying:

"This is all money I got from my investments. I know that I have all this money thanks to you, Fifth Master, but I would like to ask you to take over these men. This is just a token of my appreciation. Only if you take over these men can I take your ship with a clear conscience."
