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

Chapter 581 Instant Change of Attitude

Despite what the other party had said, Fifth Master still showed no intention of making concessions and his attitude remained very firm.

Faced with this situation, the boss didn't know what else to say. He bit his lip and then shouted loudly to those around him:

"Because something happened here, please cooperate by putting down your bowls and chopsticks and coming over for a check. Don't worry, it won't take you long, and if you do, this order will be completely free!"

The boss thought that this method would quell the dissatisfaction in people's hearts, and after saying that, he didn't say anything more.

"Give us a free meal? Do you think we're the kind of people who need a free meal? I think you know better than we do that people who can afford to eat here are all well-off and don't care about a few dollars."

"Yes, a meal here doesn't even earn me a minute's worth of income. You think I care about the money? I care about the time!"

"Let us out right now! If you interfere with my business, your restaurant can forget about staying open!"

As soon as the boss uttered those words, the people below began to express their opinions, and they showed strong dissatisfaction as they spoke, which plunged the scene into chaos and broke the previous silence.

Cai Zhongtai, who was in the corner, saw the whole scene. He knew that if he stayed there, he would be easily recognized.

For safety's sake, Cai Zhongtai decided to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"This is my suggestion. Do you have any questions?"

Just as those people were arguing heatedly about this matter, Fifth Master's voice came from the side.

As soon as these words were spoken, the people present fell silent instantly, all their eyes focused on Fifth Master, and no one dared to say another word.

"If you have any objections, you can say so. I've never liked making things difficult for people, but you should also know me. If I make them uncomfortable, they probably won't be comfortable in the future either."

"Look at what you're saying! We have no objections whatsoever. We'll do everything according to your wishes."

"Everyone has plenty of time and doesn't care about this little bit of time. Just do whatever you need to do, and don't worry about us."

Upon hearing what Fifth Master said, those people immediately panicked and tried to explain themselves.

After all, all their stocks are controlled by Fifth Master. If Fifth Master is dissatisfied, their stocks may face a situation where no one buys them or the price plummets. At that time, what awaits them will not be just that little bit of money.

"It would have been better if you had done this earlier. I had to say so much more. Since no one has any objections, let's do as I say. Waiter! Close the door quickly and make sure no one else leaves."

Seeing that they were cooperating with him, Fifth Master looked helpless and immediately sealed them off.

Upon seeing this, Cai Zhongtai panicked and tried to escape the moment the waiter closed the door.

But the waiter didn't give him a chance; the door was closed the instant Cai Zhongtai reached it.

Upon seeing this, Cai Zhongtai panicked immediately, quickly took some money from his pocket and placed it in the man's hand, saying:

· ·······Request flowers·· ········

"I have something to take care of, so please let me out for a moment. Don't worry, I'll be right back as soon as I've finished what I'm doing, and it won't delay you at all."

"I really can't help you with this. This is an order from Fifth Master, and I have no power to disobey it. You should keep this money for yourself."

Although the waiter cared about the money, he also knew what he would face if he let Cai Zhongtai leave, so he didn't take it. After saying that, he turned his attention to the others, afraid that they would take this opportunity to run away.

......... ..... 0

"Please wait a moment, everyone. We're getting the surveillance footage now. Once we have the footage and find out who poisoned our tea, you can leave. Don't worry, I, Fifth Master, won't let you wait there for nothing. I'll definitely give you some compensation after you leave."

Fifth Master knew that if these people were left to wait too long, something would definitely happen, so he began to comfort them and help them calm down.

Fortunately, the people at the scene didn't complain much, which made everything go smoothly, except for the surveillance footage.

At this moment, the boss was leading the waiters in the monitoring room, constantly searching. Some people focused their cameras on the table where Fifth Master was, while others focused their attention on the tea room, afraid of missing a single detail.

Fortunately, their efforts paid off, and after some investigation, they finally spotted Cai Zhongtai, who was acting suspiciously nearby.

He took the teapot, took something out of his pocket, and put it inside.

Chapter 582 Finally Found

“It’s him! I sensed something was off when he first arrived, but I didn’t suspect anything at first and let him in.”

Upon seeing Cai Zhongtai, the waiter immediately pointed him out, since Cai Zhongtai hadn't ordered anything after coming in and had been sitting there constantly looking towards Fifth Master and his group.

Moreover, he happened to follow Gao Qilin as he set off.

"We've finally found it. Quickly take this video to Fifth Master so he can watch it and think about how to handle it."

The boss finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it wasn't his man. He knew that if Fifth Master found out it was "950," he would definitely ruin the shop.

At this moment, the waiter took the video footage to Fifth Master and played it in front of him.

"Isn't this Cai Zhongtai?"

Cai Zhongtai had visited him many times before, so Fifth Master had a deep impression of him and recognized him at a glance.

Upon seeing him, Fifth Master immediately began searching through the crowd and soon found him.

At this moment, Fifth Master's expression turned unusually serious, and he questioned:

"How do you explain what happened today? Please explain."

"Nowadays……"

Faced with Fifth Master's questioning, Cai Zhongtai appeared to be in a difficult position, constantly trying to think of something to say. However, with so many people watching, he couldn't think of anything at all. After some hesitation, he finally spoke his mind.

"The reason I did this is because I am completely dissatisfied with your attitude. I have contacted you so many times before, and you have always been indifferent to me. Why is it that when he contacts you, you hand over all your knowledge to him? This is not fair. I feel that I have bought you a lot of things before."

To let Fifth Master know his true feelings, he directly told him what he had done for Fifth Master before, hoping to gain his approval in this way.

However, Fifth Master showed no interest in what he said or did. After he finished speaking, he still looked disdainful and said:

“What I did for him was of my own free will, and he has the talent in that area, so it’s worth my guidance. As for you, with your limited skills, I think even if I taught you what I know, you probably wouldn’t amount to anything.”

As soon as Fifth Master said this, everyone present burst into laughter, and many people secretly mocked him.

"This Cai Zhongtai is really something. Doesn't he know his own limitations? How dare he try to curry favor with Fifth Master?"

"That's right. If I remember correctly, Fifth Master has rejected him many times before. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to come looking for him again in this situation. I really don't know where he gets such a thick skin."

Cai Zhongtai was already angry, and their words only fueled his rage. He retorted:

"You bunch of snobs, you only listen to Fifth Master because of his high status, right? If I were as high as him, wouldn't you all be fawning over me?"

As soon as Cai Zhongtai said this, the room fell silent instantly, followed by a burst of laughter.

"You still want such a high position? It's already a miracle that someone like you has survived. I really don't know where you got the nerve to say those things. Fifth Master, he even poisoned you. Don't you have any ideas about what to do with him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Fifth Master, eager to see how he would handle the situation.

"Just kick him out. I'm talking to a friend right now and I'm not in the mood to deal with his business. Let me tell you, don't let me see you again. If I do, it won't be as simple as just letting you go."

To make the other party realize the seriousness of the matter, Fifth Master said these words, and then went back to his seat.

At this moment, the boss immediately understood the situation and ordered someone to kick Cai Zhongtai out.

But things had already escalated to this point, so Cai Zhongtai had no intention of leaving. He just stayed there, showing no sign of leaving at all.

Seeing this, Fifth Master could no longer tolerate it. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and started beating him severely.

The beating left Cai Zhongtai dizzy and unable to resist, making it easy for the waiter to remove him from the room.

"Fifth Master is quick and efficient. He finished the matter in just a few moves."

"That's right. If I were in charge of this, I probably wouldn't be able to do it so well. It seems that it still has to be Fifth Master."

After Cai Zhongtai left, the people present couldn't help but praise him.

"Alright, stop with your nonsense. The matter is resolved now, and there's nothing for you to do here. If you want to stay and eat, then eat properly over there. If not, then you can leave."

Upon hearing that they could leave, the people present immediately began to move, and in the blink of an eye, the place was empty.

Chapter 583 Let him go

"These people run really fast."

Seeing this, Fifth Master couldn't help but tease him. After he finished speaking, he called over the waiter and said:

"We were delayed for too long dealing with this matter, and our food got cold. Please give us a fresh serving, and you should know what to do with the tea, right?"

"We know how to handle it, Fifth Master, please rest assured. I'll bring you the best tea to brew right away."

No sooner had Fifth Master finished speaking than the owner responded, bringing over the shop's best tea in no time and replacing all the dishes with new ones.

Seeing this, Fifth Master looked very satisfied and focused all his attention on the food in front of him.

"Let bygones be bygones for that little incident. Don't think about it anymore. Cai Zhongtai is just a clown who only knows how to cause trouble. Don't take what he said to heart. Hurry up and eat. We went to great lengths to heat the food up. If you don't eat it, it will get cold again."

Seeing that Gao Qilin's expression remained serious, Fifth Master knew that he had taken the matter to heart, so he began to comfort him, making some joking remarks as he spoke.

But now Gao Qilin's mind was full of what Cai Zhongtai had just said, so he had no appetite for the food in front of him.

However, Fifth Master kept urging him on, so he couldn't refuse. After some hesitation, he ate a few bites as a token gesture. Once he had eaten most of it, he said to Fifth Master:

“I think he makes sense. I’ve gotten to where I am today entirely thanks to your help. If it weren’t for you, I might not be doing as well as him in the stock market right now.”

"What are you saying? Your talent in stock trading is beyond ordinary people. Even without me, you would have made a name for yourself and eventually caught my attention. However, by then you would have become my enemy, and I would have had to find a way to deal with you instead of sitting here having a friendly exchange like this."

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Fifth Master explained the situation. He knew very well that the reason he had trained Gao Qilin so seriously was because Gao Qilin's talent in this area was indeed superior to that of ordinary people.

"But... if I continue to receive your help, it will definitely make outsiders uncomfortable. How about this, you don't help me for a while, and I will do everything myself. That way, people won't gossip."

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Qilin spoke his mind, and then kept looking at Fifth Master, waiting for his response.

"Your idea is a bit naive. Things are already like this. If you suddenly break away from me, people will definitely say something about you. Besides, you are already very capable. You don't need to prove yourself in any other way. What you need to do now is to do everything in front of you well."

Upon seeing Gao Qilin's thoughts, Fifth Master immediately began to persuade him. After all, this was a talent that he had put a lot of effort into cultivating. If he were to let him go like this, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
